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.
extile Mars (Taurus) This aspect gives you the ability to communicate well with the opposite sex. Good relationships will occur at work, and you'll feel a lot of drive to achieve more - or even have a side project working from home. You may also have a craving to eat hot and spicy food, so go take your partner, or friends, to the closest Indian or Mexican restaurant! Just know that it'll be easy to burn off the extra calories, as you'll be inspired to exercise more.
extile Neptune (Virgo) During this transit, time should be taken out to visit any relatives, or friends, that are currently in hospital, old age homes, or institutions. You will feel very charitable, and should spend time volunteering at animal shelters, and giving your time at soup kitchens. You will feel very close to your female friends, and may even be attracted to them. It is a perfect time for creative expression. Spending time on the beach will bring a lot of joy and relaxation, especially meditating there at sunrise.
This is a good time for taking up sports that take place in water, be it swimming in the pool, surfing on waves, or rowing boats on a lake. You'll want to make or listen to music during this time, dance, and create beautiful art for the sake of self-expression. It's a great time to focus on meditation, as well as taking on any business dealings that require confidentiality and secrecy.
This transit can cause you to be depressed, and search for low-level forms of enjoyment, such as watching intimate acts online. You may hook up with others for intimate pleasure, to make you feel better about yourself and desired. It's important to use protection at all costs. Violent outbursts of emotion can affect relationships during this time. Women may want to change things about you, and you could get involved in tax affairs, as well as the affairs of other people's money.
