Thanks for posting your birth time, since this makes it easy to create a birth chart and I need a birth chart to look at in order to interpret. Although all the things you mentioned are occurring, the MAJOR event is you will soon have your Saturn return, the time when Saturn returns to the place it was at your birth.

The time of our Saturn return is a time of increasing responsibility, when we are "tested" on how responsible we have been in our life...in how long we are on the "adult" path. If we have not accepted our responsibilities, then the time after our Saturn return will be spent in making up for lost time, as we take the consequences of having put off until tomorrow what we should have been doing today.

With your Saturn (duty, also responsibility) focused in the 8th house (transformation, also power) near the 9th house (expansion, also wisdom) the issues of responsibility have to do with learning about and owning your own power. Perhaps you have let other people be the authority in your life...now is the time to be your own boss and "call the shots" in the things that happen in your life. Since the 8th house is also associated with "other people's values" you may have to work out issues involving the values and ideals of others.

Pluto conjunct Mars IS a major transit which lasts a long time, but the return of any of the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus...Neptune and Pluto will not have a return in a person's lifetime) is a major life event. That's why I focused exclusively on Saturn.

To keep things simple, I focus exclusively on the planet in the house, and ignore the planet's rulership of other houses. Mars (being, also action) focused in the 1rst house (being, also action) indicates a person who wants to take action in life...who wants to get things done in their life. Again, for simplicity, I leave out galactic center, vertex, asteroids, midpoints, etc. in my interpretations.

Keeping it simple,

Deli,

Nice birthday! [Four years and a] Day after mine. Tomorrow, and maybe for the next couple Thursdays go to astro.com to the Personal Daily Horoscope section. It'll give you free intrepretations of your long term transits. You could even go today, and press their link for 'tomorrow,' and see it a day early.

All in all, though, there's nothing you can do about a transit, so may as well sit back and enjoy the ride.

Transiting Pluto (transformation, also power) conjuncting (energy is combined with) Mars (being, also action, anger) is a time of getting control of your own actions and handling any anger issues you have. It is about owning your own powerful actions and transforming your actions to what best works for you. Pluto takes a LONG time to fully complete its transit, so you will have many opportunities over the upcoming years to get familiar with Pluto power!

Powerfully Plutonic,
