'Astrological Transits for President Obama' For Today: -203 Opposition Jupiter - Sun
Negative aspect: There may be a tendency to wastefulness during this transit, as well as faulty decision-making due to over-optimism or arrogance. Avoid making any large purchases during this transit, as you might find that once Jupiter passes, you didn't really need the item. Jupiter is infusing you with a boost to your ego at this time, and it is up to you how to handle it. Your ambitions may outstrip your abilities. You may be too vain, impertinent, self-satisfied. You will tend to abuse the good things in life. Too many well-oiled small meals, substantial over-spending. Your methods for achieving success could be outside the law. Avoid making decisions that you know in your heart are not for the better good. -173 Opposition Uranus - Mars Negative aspect: You are likely to be impulsive and imprudent: you can easily lose the run of yourself and, only if you are predisposed, may well become violent. A complete lack of calm will characterize you. It is recommended to take the greatest care during this transit. Watch out for machines, cars and be nice to your partner. Activities seem to STOP temporarily and this is a transit that was a last minute thought designed by the Universe to be a REAL PAIN IN THE BUTT! Your health may not be at its best now, so have you been overdoing it physically? Now is the time for rest. Explosive situations can really get out of control at this time and changes are imposed on you now rather than chosen. Use caution as freak accidents can happen now and it's very easy to lose your cool, so watch what you say and do. Uncommon happenings are sure to happen and physical upsets can be experienced. Traffic jams, fires and bad tempered people can be encountered as well. You may experience annoying impulses to do something that you know is wrong, but it still keeps eating away at you. Outbursts of anger that you experience now will be directed at everyone around you and you will find it very difficult to relate to others. Any interfering that you do in other peoples lives will be very disruptive to all concerned and you may notice fluctuations in your energy levels and have some muscle spasms as well. Accidents can occur through careless behavior, so avoid working on or near electrical equipment, wiring, appliances, machinery, sharp tools, fireworks or automobiles. Do not give into peer pressure that dares you to do something that you wouldn't normally do. If this is the case, you might want to consider new friends. Your behavior might cause separations or permanent breakups of relationships, friends and family. Expect nervous tension and an irritable nature to be your friend now, so spend some time by yourself and avoid getting into tiffs with close friends and associates. Temporarily, you are very erratic for no real reason. People will try to make you overreact, so don't fall victim to their ploys, but you won't choose to listen to advice, so do what you have to do. You may be leading a very reckless lifestyle now. Problems in joint finances, insurance, alimony, taxes, nervous stress, conflicts and outbursts are all influences of this transit. -157 Opposition Mars - Uranus Negative aspect: It will be a period when you will be very nervy. You will boil over and the slightest thing will make you explode. You could be particularly violent, and so suddenly that you won't be able to control yourself. Be careful about problems and accidents that might result from such an attitude. -121 Opposition Pluto - Venus Negative aspect: Your emotional life may well be stormy. You will have difficulty in sexual understanding with your partner. You will think you are no longer loved and that therefore there's someone else etc.....: this will cause fits of jealousy sometimes accompanied by unfortunate acts. In general, there is a sign of break-down, but a lot of couples can survive by picking up the pieces. 116 Trine Mercury - Venus Positive aspect: You will certainly have an amorous adventure, you will travel to see your heart's choice, you will be in a good mood. -97 Opposition Neptune - Uranus Negative aspect: You will be disturbed, upset, troubled and tormented. You won't know why. A feeling that you've forgotten something, that something quite beyond you is threatening you, without knowing what it is. You will be dissatisfied, feel bad, fragile and nervous. 73 Conjunction Saturn - Mars Positive aspect: Good physical resistance and stamina. You will be able to undertake lengthy tasks without getting too tired. You will be realistic, but perhaps a little too hard. Work will take up all your time these days, and will count above everything else. You will not tolerate any contradiction, criticism or debate. You will temporarily distance yourself from family and your emotional life will be practically non-existent. Certainly, such behavior will not please your circle, and even less your enemies. You will be neither tender nor sentimental during this short transit. It is simply time to get some hard work done. You experience a period of time when disciplining yourself is easier. You are more in touch with your body in the sense that you see it for what it is, and you might begin exercise programs during this transit. (This is, incidentally, one of the best aspects for starting an exercise routine, another being Saturn trine Ascendant). Self-discipline and self-motivation, a cooling of the passions, increased focus in work and activities, and a sense of purpose. You feel in control of your passions and impulses, and you face life with more purpose and maturity. You are more practical than usual, and your progress in most projects is perhaps slow but steady. This transit lasts for a couple months. http://astro.cafeastrology.com/cgi-bin/astro/prev
