Thursday, JUNE 16
While the Sun forms a stabilizing trine to Saturn very early today, it forms a square to Neptune later in the morning. While we may have accepted and understood our responsibilities early day, we question our purpose, goals, or sense of duty as the morning advances. If we’ve lacked inspiration or motivation, we can feel it more acutely now. We may be dealing with some disorganization, impracticality, or a temporary energy drain.
This transit challenges us to consider our needs for inspiration and imagination, which might conflict with our plans and goals. We may need to confront the areas of our lives where reality isn’t measuring up to our ideals. Until we find ways to incorporate more spirit into our lives, there can be problems feeling motivated. It can be a time of increased spiritual awareness and vision, even if we initially struggle with this. There may be detours or distractions to deal with now. Ideally, we come up with ideas for refueling, and this new energy is more authentic and fulfilling.
Also occurring this morning, an alignment between Venus and the true North Node of the Moon points to a strong time to connect with those who help move us closer to our objectives, particularly goals related to improved self-worth and a better understanding of our talents and resources. We are more concerned with harmonizing than usual and tend to be agreeable and cooperative. We might make fortunate connections now.
The void Moon occurs from 2:42 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Pluto), until the Moon enters Aquarius at 5:45 PM EDT.

What is Mars on the ascendant like?
Mars conjunct the Ascendant
The sign position of this aspect plays a big role in how overtly Mars-like this person will be. Whether Mars is positioned in the first house, or behind the Ascendant in the twelfth house, will also play a role. These are noticeable people, particularly for their ability to lead, take action, fight for what they want, and also for their independence.
Generally feisty, Mars-Ascendant people are easily riled up and either on the offensive or defensive, with quick reactions to stimuli. They want to be seen as powerful people. Impulsive and assertive, they at least exude confidence even if they don’t feel it.
Interpretation from the Astrology Profile for Women report: With Mars in conjunction with your Ascendant, you are driven to accomplish what you set out to do. You’re likely to be seen as active and energetic, and you are also unlikely to back down from a challenge.
In order to achieve greater harmony with others in the world, you may need to pay more attention to the way others respond to you, your actions and attitudes. You can be abrasive, or others may think you’re pushy, even though that may not be your intent. Assertiveness is different from aggression, and you may be much happier when you feel confident in your assertive abilities. Driving yourself to the point of exhaustion is a temptation since you may not know when and where to stop.
I also have Mars on the ascendant.

George Ivan’s chart shows an alignment between the Moon and Mars. How does this come across?
Moon conjunct Mars natal gives an emotionally passionate nature. You have a zest for life and your infectious energy can rouse the passions of others. You wear your heart on your sleeve and it is healthier for you to share how you feel. In fact, you may find it difficult not to let your strong emotions out, which has given this aspect a reputation of giving emotional rashness and a hot temper.
But this is simply a side effect of having such enthusiasm and energy for life. You are a sexy lover and fierce fighter that needs a constructive outlet for your passions. Otherwise, the hot Mars energy would turn in and become destructive. Dramatic emotional displays are a good thing, sometimes.
How does Moon Conjunct Uranus come across?
Moon conjunct Uranus natal stimulates (Uranus) your hypothalamus (Moon). The hypothalamus is a gland in the brain which regulates parenting and attachment behaviours, as well as hunger, thirst, fatigue, sleep, and circadian rhythms. It is directly linked to, and equally important as the pituitary gland (Sun).
The stimulation of primal instincts has a tremendous impact on your life. With parenting and attachment behaviors, one of your parents may be odd, absent, or emotionally detached. There may be a family history of sudden events, accidents, or psychic phenomena. Your ancestry may be peculiar or noteworthy in some way.
Sudden onset of emotional volatility can be expected, verging on hysteria. However, these episodes usually pass as quickly as they started. Your relationships can be affected with an initial intensity or fascination, however, maintaining this interest over the long term often proves difficult.
Koand also has Moon Conjunct Uranus. Both Koand and George Ivan have very obvious spiritual gifts.

How does Mars conjunct Uranus come across?
Mars conjunct Uranus natal gives exceptional creative talents and a most interesting life. You have an engaging and sexually attractive energy that draws in all kinds of people and all kinds of attention.
Whether at work or play, your motivation, enthusiasm, and electric energy can excite, inspire, and entertain other people. You thrive on the adrenalin rush you get from pushing the limits. This strong desire for excitement makes you a thrill seeker and sometimes a rebel.
You love the attention you receive for your actions and works. You can actually feed off this recognition and appreciation. Your strong desire to act without restriction can make you a very independent person. Stable family life is possible so long as you can be your eccentric self.
You have strong desires for anything unusual. You may collect rare objects or have a passion for the occult. In following your passions you are not restricted by the rules of a particular culture or religion. You must satisfy your peculiar desires despite the criticism. If you do not use up your incredible stores of energy then unexpected things may happen to you.
Being a rebel and stirring up trouble comes naturally but you must channel this erratic and fiery energy into constructive activities. Use your creative genius to burn up this raw energy and make you feel satisfied.
You may have bursts of extremely potent energy like a volcanic explosion. It could be in a boxing match like Joe Frazier or a guitar solo like Jimmy Page. It can even be a witty and cutting political speech or writing a poem. Afterward, you need rest to recover from your exhaustion.
Mars represents your goal-directed energy. By focusing on your personal and professional goals you can avoid extra negative attention. You may gain popularity and will always create a stir by being so different. Expect to have some nasty critics at times because being controversial is just your style.
Napoleon had a harmonious aspect between Mars and Uranus which may explain the background of his revolutionary nature.
I do have to cope with a challenging aspect between Mars and Uranus. Me, Napoleon and George Ivan all have indications of being revolutionary, challenging and feisty in our charts.
