Sun transiting the planets

Sun conjunct Ascendant

When the Sun is crossing over your ascendant and progresses from the twelfth house into your first, you feel energized and inspired like it’s another type of birthday. Problem being the last few weeks have been hell. This is the time when you’re finally starting to resolve all the unfinished issues produced by the Sun transiting through your pesky twelfth house. In many ways this is like a second birthday because the Sun is completing a major yearly cycle. This may even be a sudden and unexplained burst of energy, sparking a new passion towards something exciting. Whether it be applying for a new job, requesting a promotion at your current job, or starting entirely new, you mustn’t let this energy go to waste. During your twelfth house transit you unconsciously went into a cocoon and now you’re coming out and showing the world what you have become. Be careful not to assert yourself too forcefully though. Your newly acquired ego drive will surprise some of your closest friends and they may become a little agitated by you. If you can responsibly deny your own ego then the endeavors started during this time can prove quite productive.

Sun conjunct Sun

Today is your astrological birthday. The Earth has revolved around the Sun full circle and now you feel the effects. This day will vary from year to year, and won’t always be on your calendar birthday. When your Sun has reached its solar return point you feel energized and recharged, ready to take on life ahead. Whatever your feelings, the emotions you experience will be intensified today. This doesn’t mean every birthday will be wonderful or horrific, just emotionally charged. All changes must start with a cognitive idea and today is an opportune time for it. If your life requires major changes to regain functionality then use the powers of today to do so. Talented astrologers can get a glimpse of the year to come when casting a chart set for your exact solar return. Although nothing is ever guaranteed there are indicators of troublesome times. Don’t be worried if the energies you feel today aren’t exceptional. Today you’re receiving much of the information you will need for the following year, even if you don’t completely recognize it. If you feel especially lucky then try it.

Sun conjunct Moon

This transit can be one of the more difficult transits if you’re not in a stable place emotionally. The Sun emphasizes all your innermost inadequacies, and brings them into the open, forcing you to deal with a very unpleasant issue. All of the personal, domestic, and emotional deficiencies will be forced to surface themselves in order to be dealt with. If you choose to suppress all these negativities then you will only suffer again on a different Moon contact. Remember all these emotions are surfacing themselves only because of the need for resolution. Focus on learning and observing how your emotional reactions are conflicting with your intentions. If you are comfortable with your current situation this can be a day of peace and harmony. As opposed to when your Moon was conjunct your Sun and you felt compelled to help others, now you may feel like others need to help you. Relationship wise you will feel much more connected towards women than usual. On the domestic side of life today is the day for reflection on your living space and immediate home life. Attend your duties around the house and take it slowly today, you probably don’t have as much energy as usual for the time being. On the positive side, if you are in a good place then you experience the love and tender feeling on a much more personal level. Something inside senses the positive vibes in a way not normal in daily activity.

Sun conjunct Mercury

This transit will make you very energetic and talkative. You will most definitely need to get out today. There are several areas where you can direct your energy positively. Any forms of communication such as reading, writing, or phone calls would suit perfectly. You may find that your phone is ringing off the hook and your attention is required in many areas. There is the likelihood you have more in depth conversations with random individuals today. The areas in your chart which Mercury controls in your life will be areas of focus today. If Mercury is afflicted in your chart, or there are current negative influences this can indicate a large scale yelling match, although this is rather unlikely. Not only is this a good transit for communicating with your outer world, this is a good time to contact the spirit world, or your inner self. Like most other conjunctions this one stimulates your drive to get out into the world, and you‘re more concerned with talking than listening today. If you are involved in business today is a great day to express your ideas and goals. You’re apt to initiate the communication and should remain reserved to those who aren’t as eager to make friends. Don’t press your opinions too forcefully you will most definitely offend them with your brashness.

Sun conjunct Venus

Venus contacts usually indicate good fortune or happy times with your family and friends. If you’re an artist or musician you’ll find this one of your more inspired times of the year. Your confidence level is high and you strive for the attention of those you love. Venus is an extremely social planet and today would be a great day to go out and about. If you’re the speculative type and enjoy gambling, this transit could be one of your more lucky days. Be careful of over spending though, Venus isn’t known for following a budget. This transit attracts friends, money, and possessions, if you have been responsible and saved your resources this is a good time to splurge. Other monetary transactions involving business can also be positive today. If you’re trying to make a large purchase with the speculation of profits and the end then this transit will be important. Either buying or selling, the powers of Venus can prove profitable in this instance. Unless your Venus is severely afflicted natally, all your relationships will seem to be running smoother than normal. Even the little things that usually bother you aren’t as annoying today.

Sun conjunct Mars

This can be one of the more volatile times of the year and, if you’re wise, you should probably pay attention to it. You’ll become energized to the point of competitiveness when opposed. Mars stimulates personal action with aggression and determination. Most times it induces carelessness and recklessness causing injuries or accidents. Today is a day when you need to actively pursue your own goals and aspirations. This is a prime time to start a new project which will require lots of individual responsibilities, maybe one you accomplish alone. Most people should use this energy to catch up with their house chores and daily responsibilities. As with all transits you may experience this a few days early, sometimes a few days late, and very rarely even longer. Be careful you don’t become too disruptive amongst society an encounter with law enforcement could turn out quite unfortunate. Sitting around and accomplishing nothing is the worst way to handle this transit. If you are having issues in your workplace then today may be the day of a serious argument. Because you’re so assertive of yourself your superiors may get a little intimidated by your new ego. This is a yearly transit and the energies can last up to a week. Pent up frustrations and all your agitations are going to cause havoc for a little while, make sure you don’t let your high strung emotions do the same.

Sun conjunct Jupiter

Physically, psychologically, and emotionally, you should feel more pleasant than usual under this transit. The optimism and enthusiasm from Jupiter is amplified by the Sun and even your most troublesome issues can be set aside for a little while. On the more subconscious level this will stimulate your interest into a new study. Deep down you wish to experience as much about life as you can today. If you’re already religious this can show an event which allows you to expand your philosophies. Your mind is absorbing information on a different level this week. Much like when the Sun was conjunct with your natal Venus this transit can produce good luck and positive fortune. As Venus attracts possessions in the materialistic parts of life, Jupiter will attract values and ideas in the philosophical realm. Just as with anything involving Jupiter, this transit can make you egotistical and overly idealistic. Sometimes your aspirations are simply unattainable and you may think too much of yourself. For those who experience higher forms of human consciousness time spent in meditation will be quite productive. Long term business and speculative decisions made today can prove to be very wise and lucrative. Don’t go gambling with more than you can lose because your inclinations will be to overspend. Social engagements will be more enlightening and now would be a good time to advance friendships and romantic relationships. If there is a negative incident between you and a loved one it is only to help you grow. Because you’re subconsciously putting all your disparities together, you are trying to complete the grand picture of your life. If you aren’t happy with yourself this transit will force you to change or remain unhappy. The choice will be yours.

Sun conjunct Saturn

Other than Uranus this is possibly the most difficult and serious transit for the Sun. Saturn is the planet that teaches us responsibility and structure. Saturn’s favorite rules are the life lessons we don’t want to learn, especially ones we can‘t even see yet. For many this comes as an unfortunate incident, or accident, in which forces you to grow up in some way. You may feel an unnatural sense of inadequacy towards your responsibilities and social requirements. If you’re unorganized or inconsistent, chances are this will be a time of disappointment and strife. The major malfunction during this transit is the depressing thoughts you’re forced to reckon with. Deep in your mind you’re realizing your failures and inadequacies, along with where you need improvement. Even if the trauma isn’t psychological, whether it be through work, family, or personal health issues, the circumstances Saturn transits indicate can be quite severe. In all actuality what you should be doing is analyzing where your career and responsibilities towards the greater society are heading.

The house Saturn is placed in will be a major factor influencing this yearly transit, as well as other planetary alignments. If the Moon, Venus, or Mars are sitting square or opposite during this transit expect hang-ups and turmoil. If they are in trine or sextile expect to see the benefits of your previous responsible decisions. Try to find an intellectual endeavor which requires meticulous calculations or measurements. You might be surprised at what you can teach yourself if you focus and make an effort. This transit can be a great time for organizing and planning advancements in your business or professional life. If you are your own employer, or are aspiring to be, this transit will be an ideal time to start. When you’re not careful this can cause problems if you’re too over critical of yourself or others.

Sun conjunct Uranus

The possibilities for today are limitless and expecting the unexpected is the general theme for this transit. Chances are you’re feeling excited and unexplainably nervous. There is something different about today and your intuition can feel it. Whichever house this transit is occurring in will be a good indicator of where your unusual event will take place. It’s possible you hear from a distant friend or relative. You might get into such a rush that you have an accident and injure yourself. In extreme cases this can indicate a physical altercation. This is because you are more in tune with your independent spirit, and the desperation to break free from all restrictions. Any restraints which have been placed upon you will be tested for strength and several fights may occur. Your behavior today is far different from your normal patterns of action. One main function of this transit is to open your eyes to the limitlessness of the universe. If you have attained higher levels of consciousness today’s meditation can prove quite productive.

Most of us are embedded in our own routines and beliefs. This is especially true for you today. Your normal everyday routine is of no interest. The rebelliousness from Uranus will make you irritated at your own personal habits. Although you won’t be able to recognize what you’re mad at or why you’re mad, all you can realize is there are negative emotions going on today. This will only occur if you coup yourself up and don’t use this energy productively. Not all rebellions should be considered negative. If you’re able to break yourself from a nagging bad habit then the results can be productive. Per chance this transit causes a serious argument amongst a friend, this is only to separate you from a bondage holding you back. Any true friend will be able to forgive the mistakes and still remain in contact.

Sun conjunct Neptune

Neptune is a very confusing planet and this yearly transit will prove just that. It’s difficult to judge just what will happen because influences from Neptune are extremely subtle. Many times this isn’t the day of any significant event, but more of a psychological or spiritual awakening. You will probably not have as much energy as usual. The reason for this is that your body is naturally telling you to rest. It’s necessary for everyone to get away from the everyday tensions of life. The confusion you’re experiencing is a test of your judgment skills and ability to handle stress. You may experience a vivid dream during the few days of this transit. Although the conjunction is the most powerful of the transits anything involving Neptune is entirely inconsistent, despite their sometimes lacking power. If you have resolved the issues produced by the squaring of these two then today will flow over smoothly.

For those who merely live in a mundane world this is just another blah type day. For others who have ascended into higher forms of consciousness, this transit is quite important. Magical spells, meditations, and all the other witchcraft fun can be especially powerful. Your abilities to tap into your subconscious are at their yearly pinnacle. Look to the conditions and current placement of the Moon to calculate the pinpoint time of power. Now would be a horrible time to try to plan any vacation or get away. Use this time to get lost in your imagination. Create something great and use the inspirations of today positively.

Sun conjunct Pluto

The intensities produced by this transit will vary dramatically from year to year. Most times this will pass with nothing more than a slow, slightly depressed day. This is not to be ignored or taken lightly. The significance of this transit is that it forces you to overcome your innermost difficulties. Everyone has their own personal issues and the more you repress these negativities the greater the explosion. You will need to resist the desires to sulk into your sorrows today. Pluto is bringing out something which is restricting your personal growth. Use the energies and enter deep into meditation. Reflect on where you are and where you want to go. Death, destruction, and complete regeneration are all associated with Pluto. These atrocities are all unfortunately inevitable and we must all learn how to handle them properly. The people and circumstances you experience today will no doubt play a larger role than your casual encounters. Because this transit can indicate struggles with authorities, you need to pay extra attention to your relationship with superiors and law enforcement. Shy away from direct confrontations and arguments, you might accidentally blow up on someone and say something regretful. Areas of your life that have been casually straggling along will be put through the test of usefulness. You may even experience this transit with the breakdowns of machinery or possibly physical injuries.
