Asteroid Amor, the asteroid of romance, is moving from unconventional Aquarius to sweet and dreamy Pisces on March 22nd 2023, and is in-and-out of this sign until January 2024. How does this impact us? About Amor in Astrology
Amor is an asteroid in astrology, and there are tens of thousands of asteroids, and each connects to something different. Many are simply names, but some like Amor connect to specific energies.
In the case of asteroid Amor, this is the asteroid of romantic love. Amor shows how we express love and romance, and in transit, we can see this via the Zodiac sign Amor is touring, and the natal house it's touring in your natal chart. Asteroid Amor in Pisces 2023 - 2024
With Amor in Aquarius, love has been more detached, and romance has been out of the box. In Pisces, we can be a little more of a dreamy romantic and way more lovey-dovey.
Amor in Pisces puts Amor in the most romantic, dreamy of the Zodiac signs. This means romance is supercharged, and we likely want to be wooed, and can easily fall in love. Our hearts can be bigger and more open to love and romance, so this can be a great time for romantic displays. But, it's not great for boundaries, so we have to make sure we're being mindful of those, otherwise we may get walked all over or fall for some narcissistic love bombing. This may be more likely when Amor is retrograde in Pisces, which is partially will (August 24th to November 7th 2023). With Amor moving backward through Pisces, we may become more aware of ways in which we aren't respecting ourselves in romantic relationships, ways our boundaries have been breached, and how we need to do better. But, there can also be the flipside, and some may be so caught up in the fogginess that they totally ignore big glaring red flags - don't let that be you! If we can avoid being delusional, this is a very lovely transit for romance. We can be more affectionate, more considerate, more compassionate, and more empathetic in love. Amor tours Zodiac sign Pisces from March 27th to June 13th 2023, then comes back August 24th while retrograde (which ends November 7th), and stays in Pisces until January 30th 2024. Conjunctions for Amor in Pisces:
Amor in Pisces is going to conjunct, or align with, Saturn pretty early on in this transit on April 2nd 2023 at 2 degrees Pisces. Saturn is totally realistic and practical, so this conjunction grounds the dreamy Pisces energy, and we can be more realistic with love and romance. This would actually be a great time for commitment in romance.
Amor in Pisces will also conjunct Neptune in Pisces, who is also the natural ruler of Pisces. This occurs 3 times, on June 3rd 2023 (at 27 degrees), September 4th 2023 (at 26 degrees) and January 15th 2024 (at 25 degrees), and the second time (September 4th) is while Amor is retrograde. This amplifies the Pisces energy since Neptune is the natural ruler, and we're extra extra extra romantic and dreamy! But, we also have to be extra careful with boundaries. They are important and valid and we need to respect them! Asteroid Amor in Pisces for the Zodiac Signs

This energy is brought to your relationships when it's impacting your relationship areas. How Natal Pluto Impacts Your Relationships
For some, Pluto can have a strong influence on your relationships via your natal chart. This can be the case if you have:
- Pluto in the 5th house (ruling love) or 7th house (ruling relationships) - Scorpio 5th house or 7th house/Descendant (so Pluto rules the 5th or 7th house) or 5th or 7th house ruler - Pluto conjunct (aligned with) natal Venus (planetary ruler of relationships) or the 5th or 7th house ruler - Pluto conjunct the 1st house cusp/Ascendant (the 1st house cusp/Ascendant is on an axis with the 7th house cusp/Descendant so Pluto would be directly opposing) When natal Pluto has a strong influence on your relationships in your natal chart, you can be someone who experiences major Pluto energy in your relationships. With the 5th house, you may be someone who takes love very seriously, and can be kind of intense in love. You may easily get wrapped up in love, obsessive at times, and need to learn healthy boundaries to save yourself and others from the intensity. Love for you has to be intense and passionate, and you can easily mistake intensity and passion for love, especially with sex. But this isn't love, and that may be a lesson you have to learn in your life. You may fall in love with Scorpio-like people, so people who are intense, serious, brooding, a bit of a mystery, or who you view as strong and powerful. You may gravitate toward powerful people, but this can put you in the cross-hairs of some people with less-than-pure intentions toward you (so again, boundaries are important). Love may be a transformative experience for you, and this can be a good thing if you can avoid losing yourself in it. Pluto has a tendency to overdo it, and that is something you need to keep in mind. When natal Pluto is influencing the 7th house, this can be in all relationships, though especially committed relationships and partnerships. You may seem to attract lots of people who want to dominate and control you, and you have to work harder to maintain autonomy and not get taken in by them. You may feel that boundaries are too unpleasant to enforce, but this doesn't help you, so that may be something you have to overcome. Ultimately, you need relationships to be passionate without overtaking your life. Balance, compromise, and boundaries are crucial for you to learn. When you have healthy relationships like that, you can thrive, and grow into your own power. You may find you transform via the connections you make. How Transit Pluto Impacts Your Relationships
Transit (moving) Pluto can also bring strong Pluto energy to your relationships, but this is temporary (whereas with natal Pluto, it's your entire life). With transit Pluto, it's only going to be for the period of time the transit is in effect, however since Pluto rules big transformation, the effect may be lasting for some time.
Transit Pluto can influence your relationships when it's: - in your natal 5th or 7th house - aspecting your natal 5th or 7th house cusp/Descendant, natal 5th or 7th house ruler, or natal Venus Transit Pluto touring your natal 5th house can bring passionate love, and this can be great in existing love relationships that are already healthy. You can grow the passion between you, and you can feel much closer and take the relationship more seriously. Bad love relationships may lead to greater fighting over power and control, and you may have to learn to stand up for yourself. This can lead to breaking up and walking away, which can be deeply upsetting, but usually leads to a major transformation of what love is for you and what it is you should actually strive for. Transit Pluto touring your natal 7th house can bring passion into your relationships, and you can be more intense about commitment, take commitment seriously, and attract more powerful people to you. But, you may also have more fights in relationships, attract more people who want to control you, and bad relationships can be extra strained, and a transformation is required. When it comes to transit Pluto aspects, these last for about 3 years. Beneficial aspects (sextiles and trines) can help you strengthen passion and commitment, and you can feel your connections with others are strong. Challenging aspects (conjunctions, squares, and oppositions) can be the reverse, and you may struggle with old relationship issues, love wounds, and commitment problems. You may need to address deeply-held issues and traumas and transform (if this is something you've already done, then the hard aspects can help you actually take more control in relationships and deepen passion even more). Will Pluto in Aquarius Impact My Relationships?
Pluto is moving into Aquarius, so a whole new set of people can get affected by this transit when it comes to your relationships. This can include you if you have:
- natal 5th or 7th house/Descendant in Aquarius (Pluto will transit) - natal 5th or 7th house ruler or natal Venus in Aquarius (Pluto will conjunct) - natal 5th or 7th house cusp/Descendant, natal 5th or 7th house ruler or natal Venus in Taurus, Leo, or Scorpio (Pluto will square or oppose) These are the challenging positions for Pluto in Aquarius, so it's important you evaluate your relationships, see what's working well and what isn't, what issues you have left to work through when it comes to love and commitment, and get started on that now. Doing the work with Pluto helps to keep some of the challenges from manifesting. If any of these positions are instead in Aries, Gemini, Libra, or Sagittarius, Pluto in Aquarius will make beneficial aspects, and you can grow closer with loved ones and more comfortable with relationships, deepen commitment, and feel more passionate. Suggested Reading: Surviving Transit Pluto in the Houses In astrology, Pluto is the planet of transformation. It's a planet that has intense, passionate, unrelenting energy, and when impacting your professional life, that energy can be brought into the work you do. How Natal Pluto Impacts Your Professional Life
For some, Pluto can have a strong influence on your professional life via your natal chart. This can be the case if you have:
- Pluto in the 2nd house (ruling money), 6th house (ruling work), or 10th house (ruling career) - Scorpio 2nd house, 6th house, or 10th house/Midheaven (which would make Pluto the ruler) or a Scorpio 2nd, 6th, or 10th house ruler - Pluto conjunct (aligned with) the 2nd, 6th, or 10th house ruler, Ceres (planetary ruler of money), or Saturn (planetary ruler of career) - Pluto conjunct the 4th house cusp/Imum Coeli (the 4th house cusp/Imum Coeli is on an axis with the 10th house cusp/Midheaven so Pluto would be directly opposing) When natal Pluto has a strong influence on your professional life in the natal chart, this brings passionate, intense energy for you professionally. When it's with the 10th house, this rules your overall career, and you're someone who can be highly ambitious, driven, and when you put your mind to a goal, nothing can stop you from achieving it. This can mean you accomplish a lot in your life, however this may come later in life, and it may come with some tragic ambition, so that is something that has to be avoided. You likely have a career ruled by Pluto (in science, medicine, the occult, dealing with forensics, death, other people's money, or that is mutually beneficial, for some examples). When it's the 6th house, this rules your work environment and the jobs you have, so you can be someone who doesn't work too well with others (and really hates bosses), and wants to be in control of your work environment and job. You can be passionate about the jobs you have and the work projects you do, and don't want to settle for anything you don't care about. You may gravitate to Pluto-ruled jobs as well. When it's the 2nd house, this rules your money, so you can be passionate about making as much money as you can and using it wisely. You may be a big saver, always thinking about catastrophe striking and taking you down, so you want to be prepared. You want control over your money, and may have difficulty when you don't. You can make money in ways ruled by Pluto. How Transit Pluto Impacts Your Professional Life
Transit (moving) Pluto can also bring strong Pluto energy to your professional life, but this is temporary (whereas with natal Pluto, it's your entire life). With transit Pluto, it's only going to be for the period of time the transit is in effect, however since Pluto rules big transformation, the effect may be lasting for some time.
Transit Pluto can influence your professional life when it's: - in your natal 2nd, 6th, or 10th houses - aspecting your natal 2nd, 6th, or 10th house rulers, your Midheaven, your natal Ceres, or your natal Saturn Transit Pluto touring your natal 2nd house is actually a rather notorious transit as it can really tear you down in your life since the 2nd house connects to both money and security and stability. If there's any superficiality there, if it's not ethical or right for you, Pluto can swoop in and tear everything down to force you to start over. This can obviously impact you financially, and it's fairly common to experience major financial problems with transit Pluto in the 2nd house if you haven't done things right. You need to make sure you're making money in a way that you're passionate about, being smart with it for the long-term, helping others in beneficial ways, and healing yourself to have security based on something solid and strong, not something superficial. If you do that, Pluto touring the 2nd house can be a great amplifier for you financially, and you can amass a lot of wealth. How you do so may transform in some way, how you plan long-term, or how you use it. Transit Pluto in your natal 6th house can impact your work life, and you can have little patience for work and jobs you're not passionate about. You may walk away from a job if you're not invested in it, and you may be more willing to fight for what you're worth, though this can lead to more struggles over power and control. You may decide to take more control over your work environment in some way, perhaps by deciding to work for yourself, or to work from home where you can control what's around you. Transit Pluto in your natal 10th house can impact your career and goals, and you can throw yourself into goals that you're passionate about. Your intensity can surge, and you can push through anything to achieve and succeed. Others may push back against you at times, but you can keep going no matter what. When it comes to transit Pluto aspects, these last for about 3 years. Beneficial aspects (sextiles and trines) can help you make progress and experience success, financially with the 2nd house, with your work with the 6th house, and with career goals with the 10th house. This can be an amazing time for achievement. Challenging aspects (conjunctions, squares, and oppositions) can be the reverse, and you may struggle with making the progress you want, getting control, and constant fighting. A transformation is likely necessary (unless you've already done the hard work, in which case you may actually get more power and control handed to you, which can be a lot to handle, but you can handle it well). Will Pluto in Aquarius Impact My Professional Life?
Pluto is moving into Aquarius, so a whole new set of people can get affected by this transit when it comes to your professional life. This can include you if you have:
- natal 2nd house, 6th house, or 10th house/Midheaven in Aquarius (Pluto will transit) - natal 2nd, 6th, or 10th house ruler or natal Ceres or Saturn in Aquarius (Pluto will conjunct) - natal 2nd, 6th, or 10th house cusp/Midheaven, natal 2nd, 6th, or 10th house ruler or natal Ceres or Saturn in Taurus, Leo, or Scorpio (Pluto will square or oppose) These are the challenging positions for Pluto in Aquarius, so it's important you evaluate your professional life, see what's going right and what isn't, be honest about whether or not you're doing what you're passionate about and going about it the right way, and quickly pushing to do that if you're not already. Working with the Pluto energy helps you avoid the problems. If any of these positions are instead in Aries, Gemini, Libra, or Sagittarius, Pluto in Aquarius will make beneficial aspects, and this can be an amazing time for progress, success, achievement, abundance, and taking control and being empowered professionally. Suggested Reading: Surviving Transit Pluto in the Houses April 2023 comes with some super energy, first bringing a soft full moon in pleasant Libra to help us set the table, and then roaring with a solar eclipse in fiery Aries. Let's dive in! P.S. Make sure to sign up for the free monthly worksheet so you can keep track of planetary events like new and full moons every month! What is a Solar Eclipse?
A new moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact same position in the Zodiac (called a conjunction). New moons are related to beginnings, have high energy, and are enthusiastic. Solar eclipses occur when new moons are within 18 1/2 degrees of the Lunar Nodes (the points in the Moon's orbit where the Moon crosses the ecliptic).
What is a Full Moon?
A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact opposite positions in the Zodiac (called an opposition). Full moons are related to endings, culminations, and are emotional energy.
Full Moon in Libra: April 6th 2023 (12:34AM ET/April 5th @ 9:34PM PT)
The April full moon comes to us in Libra, fair-minded and pleasant. We strive to keep the peace with Libra full moons, not wanting to have any extra chaos or fighting. We can compromise, mediate, and negotiate to make this happen, and we can use our charm to win people over. We can be tactful and diplomatic, and our ability to understand other sides can be heightened, which helps with trying to find a space that works.
Libra is the sign of relationships, so we can be more emotionally-invested in our connections and dealings with others. Relationships, partnerships, and alliances that are healthy and beneficial can grow stronger, while those that aren't may shatter, crumble, or feel shakier. We can work to improve them, or we can walk away if that's not possible. We can see this in our personal and professional lives, as well as with connections around the world. Libra needs peace and harmony in order to feel balanced, and can be indecisive when it's not balanced, so we have to work on being more harmonious and balanced, otherwise we may waffle quite a bit. As we stick to peace, we become stronger and better able to focus. As we stick to chaos, we become more frantic and out of control. Peace, harmony, balance, and strong connections help us as we segway into the solar eclipse, which is so full of energy that we may have difficulty seeing straight at times! Use the full moon to prepare. The full moon occurs at 16 degrees 7 minutes Libra. Aspects to the full moon are: Conjunction: 14 degrees 7 minutes - 18 degrees 7 minutes Libra Sextile: 14 degrees 7 minutes - 18 degrees 7 minutes Leo or Sagittarius Square: 14 degrees 7 minutes - 18 degrees 7 minutes Cancer or Capricorn Trine: 14 degrees 7 minutes - 18 degrees 7 minutes Gemini or Aquarius Opposition: 14 degrees 7 minutes - 18 degrees 7 minutes Aries Solar Eclipse in Aries: April 20th 2023 (12:13AM ET/April 19th @ 9:13PM PT)
And here comes some super high energy! Our first eclipse for 2023 is a solar eclipse in energetic Aries. This is the first eclipse in Aries for some time, and solar eclipses are tied to new beginnings, while Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac and rules new beginnings, so Aries solar eclipses are amazing times for starting something new. Focus on new projects, new ventures, new opportunities, new paths and journeys in your life. This is the time to get moving!
This likely began about a month ago with the new moon in Aries on March 21st. Solar eclipses occur with new moons, so we have two in a row in Aries, and 2 new moons in a row in the same sign usually connect to one another. That new moon occured at a special position, the 0 degrees Aries Point, which likely propelled us to take action. Whatever you've already been working on can get a massive boost with this eclipse, and we're taking the intangible and making it real. This eclipse is even more special because it occurs at 29 degrees, which is the anaretic degree. There are 30 degrees in every Zodiac sign, and 29 degrees is the very last degree and called the anaretic degree. It's massive energy that requires action, immediately. We can feel such a huge desire to take action now that can't be ignored. Hopefully, you began with the March new moon, so you've already done your homework and aren't acting impulsively. Being impulsive may lead to problems, but if you're being smart, this can be an amazing time for doing something you've dreamt about for a while, or didn't think was actually possible at this point. Transit Jupiter is also in Aries, and while it's a bit too wide to be conjunct this eclipse, it does trigger the eclipse not too long after (May 15th). That means this energy started with the March 21st new moon, and is going to last until mid-May. We have about 2 months the make the most of it. It is one of those things that will be gone quickly, and once it's gone, it's gone, so don't miss out! One thing to note: Mercury retrograde begins the day after this eclipse on April 21st, and lasts until May 14th. This occurs in Taurus though, not Aries, so it doesn't aspect the eclipse. Still, we have to keep this energy in mind as we're making our way through. The Mercury retrograde might show this is a great time for a second chance, to try again. But it also shows we need to make sure we've thought this through, and again, avoid being impulsive. In Taurus, we can be lazier than usual, however this Aries energy is anything but lazy, so it may translate instead to frustration that makes us *feel* stuck. But, it's great energy to get unstuck! In the world, we may see a lot more activity across a variety of areas and with many different situations. Aries does connect to war though, so we may see some extra violence with this eclipse, a sudden attack or accident. The solar eclipse occurs at 29 degree 50 minutes Aries. The aspects to the solar eclipse are: Conjunction: 24 degrees 50 minutes - 29 degrees 59 minutes Aries Semisextile: 27 degrees 50 minutes - 29 degrees 59 minutes Taurus or Pisces Sextile: 24 degrees 50 minutes - 29 degrees 59 minutes Gemini or Aquarius Square: 24 degrees 50 minutes - 29 degrees 59 minutes Cancer or Capricorn Trine: 24 degrees 50 minutes - 29 degrees 59 minutes Leo or Sagittarius Quincunx: 27 degrees 50 minutes - 29 degrees 59 minutes Virgo or Scorpio Opposition: 24 degrees 50 minutes - 29 degrees 59 minutes minutes Libra Since this eclipse is so late in sign, it can also make out-of-sign aspects, as if it were in the next sign (Taurus). Out-of-sign aspects usually aren't as strong and may be more subconscious in nature though. The out-of-sign aspects for this eclipse are: Conjunction: 0 degrees 0 minutes - 4 degrees 50 minutes Taurus Semisextile: 0 degrees 0 minutes - 2 degrees 50 minutes Aries or Gemini Sextile: 0 degrees 0 minutes - 4 degrees 50 minutes Cancer or Pisces Square: 0 degrees 0 minutes - 4 degrees 50 minutes Leo or Aquarius Trine: 0 degrees 0 minutes - 4 degrees 50 minutes Virgo or Capricorn Quincunx: 0 degrees 0 minutes - 4 degrees 50 minutes Libra or Sagittarius Opposition: 0 degrees 0 minutes - 4 degrees 50 minutes Scorpio Suggested Reading: The New & Full Moons page for general interpretations by house and aspect Pluto is the planet of transformation in astrology, and is passionate, intense, and unrelenting. When impacting your home and family life, this energy is brought to matters of the home and family. How Natal Pluto Impacts Your Home & Family Life
For some, Pluto can have a strong influence on your home and family life via your natal chart. This can be the case if you have:
- Pluto in the 4th house (ruling the home and family; note that family can mean actual relations as well as those you think of as family) - Scorpio 4th house/Imum Coeli (so Pluto rules the 4th house) or 4th house ruler - Pluto conjunct (aligned with) the natal Moon (planetary ruler of the home & family) or the 4h house ruler - Pluto conjunct the 10th house cusp/Midheaven (the 10th house cusp/Midheaven is on an axis with the 4th house cusp/Imum Coeli so Pluto would be directly opposing) When natal Pluto has a strong influence on your home and family life in your natal chart, you can be someone who experiences massive Pluto energy with the home and family. In your younger years, your family may have been besieged by drama, a bit chaotic and unstable, and there may have even been violence in the home (since Pluto is a war ruler). There may have been lots of fighting over power and control (ruled by Pluto), whether it was you fighting with others in the home, or others in the home fighting with each other. There is often some major trauma and emotional baggage associated with a strong natal Pluto influencing the home and family life. A transformation is usually required of you, and at some point, the meaning of what your home is and looks like and what family is and looks like for you changes. This tends to come after profound healing and getting into your depths. Now, it doesn't always have to mean bad. Some other manifestations of a strong Pluto influencing your home and family life can be living in areas that are in need of rehabilitation, or having your family do rehab work in your communities (or even be in real estate, especially as flippers). There can be a draw to living in places in need of help and trying to transform them into something better. This can also be with actual people, and you may have had many people living in your home that your family was helping out, whether they be down-on-their luck relatives or something like your parents were foster parents so there were lots of foster kids in and out. Your home and family likely have an outsized influence on your core as a person, and there is likely a relative that is viewed as being very Pluto-like (super strong, willful, defiant, a formidable creator, who has come back from defeat). How Transit Pluto Impacts Your Home & Family Life
Transit (moving) Pluto can also bring strong Pluto energy to your home and family life, but this is temporary (whereas with natal Pluto, it's your entire life). With transit Pluto, it's only going to be for the period of time the transit is in effect, however since Pluto rules big transformation, the effect may be lasting for some time.
Transit Pluto can influence your home and family life when it's: - in your natal 4th house - aspecting your natal 4th house cusp/Imum Coeli, natal 4th house ruler, or natal Moon Transit Pluto touring your natal 4th house can be similar to natal Pluto in the 4th house, and does last for 1-2 decades, so you get it for a while. It can be less trauma-focused though, depending on how old you are when it starts and how much work you've done on yourself by then. If you've already worked on old trauma, empowered yourself, taken control, and faced down demons, then transit Pluto in the natal 4th house can help you get more power and control over your home and family life. You may decide to move, especially somewhere up-and-coming, or get into real estate investing, or do some renovating where you live. You may take on a more matriarchal position in your family or with your support group. If you haven't worked on old trauma, still feel weakened and chaotic, then transit Pluto in the natal 4th house can stir up uncomfortable emotions, old memories, and create emotional upheaval. There can be chaos at home or with family as a result. A major transformation needs to be made, and you have to do the hard work to satisfy Pluto. When it comes to transit Pluto aspects, these last for about 3 years. Beneficial aspects (sextiles and trines) can help you smooth things out at home and with family, and you can feel great in your dealings with them. Challenging aspects (conjunctions, squares, and oppositions) can be the reverse, and you may struggle with old wounds, baggage, and intense emotions until you work through the issues and transform (but if you've already worked through the issues and transformed, then the challenging aspects can actually help give you even more power and control). Will Pluto in Aquarius Impact My Home & Family Life?
Pluto is moving into Aquarius, so a whole new set of people can get affected by this transit when it comes to your home and family life. This can include you if you have:
- natal 4th house/Imum Coeli in Aquarius (Pluto will transit) - natal 4th house ruler or natal Moon in Aquarius (Pluto will conjunct) - natal 4th house cusp/Imum Coeli or natal 4th house ruler or natal Moon in Taurus, Leo, or Scorpio (Pluto will square or oppose) These are the challenging positions for Pluto in Aquarius, so it's important you evaluate your home and family life, assess which issues you have worked through and which you haven't, and get started right away doing the work. If you work with Pluto, this can go well, and you can get more control. If any of these positions are instead in Aries, Gemini, Libra, or Sagittarius, Pluto in Aquarius will make beneficial aspects, and you can get a shot of helpful energy and feel more empowered with your home and family dealings.

If you want to get started with love astrology, sign up for the free mini class, Intro to Love Astrology! About Juno in Astrology
Juno is an asteroid in astrology, and there are tens of thousands of asteroids, and each connects to something different. Many are simply names, but some like Juno connect to specific energies.
In the case of asteroid Juno, this is the asteroid of commitment. Juno shows how we express commitment and our attitudes around it, and in transit, we can see this via the Zodiac sign Juno is touring, and the natal house it's touring in your natal chart. Impact of Asteroid Juno in Taurus 2023
Juno spent almost 2 months in Aries before coming to Zodiac sign Taurus. Aries is full of fire and energy, while Taurus is a grounded earth sign and steady fixed sign, so it's fairly different, and commitment isn't rushed into with Taurus.
