Daily aspects

This aspect can lead to family problems, health disorders, difficulties at work, discomfort with the opposite sex, and public disagreements. It is highly important to think before you act or react. It can also cause pain in the womb, especially during "that time of the month" for young ladies and women.

This aspect gives you a lot of confidence and energy, which you will bring into the work place. It's especially good for you, if your work deals with the military, or working out and personal fitness. You will be able to find words quickly when expressing yourself, especially around men. Be careful around sharp objects, as you could hurt yourself without realizing it, and the blood may flow fast.

This Trine between the Moon and Uranus gives you great attention, persuasiveness, ambition, creativity and originality. You go your own way, and look for new methods of doing things. You are determined, imaginative, keen to travel, and optimistic! This transit also lends itself to great opportunities for creating advertising campaigns geared at women!
