This aspect between Mars and Pluto will really help if you are trying to become fitter and stronger through exercise. It is also an excellent time for scientic research geared towards technology. If you are involved in the army or police force, now is the time to investigate cases, as truths may be revealed that were hiding before. It is a great time for self-improvement and getting involved with your community, or political affairs.

This Trine gives you excellent learning skills, a sound mind, quick wit, language skills, and good judgment. Your intelligence is powerful. You practice independent and practical thinking and are open to everything new. It's an excellent time to go on a road trip.

The Taurus Moon helps us to preserve and increase money and material possessions. Security, compatibility, holding on to family are essential to us. These days we are very focused on our family and our home. And enjoyment in all areas is paramount.

When Mercury stands in Virgo, we may get an analytical and keen mind. We have a few issues with language and grammar. We have better observation skills and are more interested in exact thinking. During this time, we tend to be more orderly.

This is a not a good time to bond with others emotionally. You may have arguments with your mother, or motherly figure, as well as other females. If you are creative, you may paint objects, portraits, or landscapes, only to be disappointed in what you have made and destroy it afterwards. If you are female, you may experience period cramps and excessive PMS irritability and aggression.  

During this transit, time should be taken out to visit any relatives, or friends, that are currently in hospital, old age homes, or institutions.

Spending time on the beach will bring a lot of joy and relaxation, especially meditating there at sunrise.
