Dr. Standley's Astrology Brain Dump

[Posted Monday, October 17, 2016]

MARS CONJUNCT PLUTO

The last Brain Dump™ was October 11, 2016 called, Venus in Sagittarius

I will say right off the bat, a Revolution? . . . Count On It!

Yes, SH%! is going to hit the FAN! Mars conjunct Pluto in its worst form....meaning it has ugly squares and oppositions to it.....is known as 'The Beast' in astrological circles.

Before you get into this Astrology Brain Dump™ on Mars Conjunct Pluto, I encourage you to read about the aspect write-up first. In this way I will not have to repeat the entire set-up for this article. So click this Mars Conjunct Pluto link and then buzz right back over here to this page. I have coded this page so that when you click away from it, this page will not disappear and you can come right back to it. But just in case, you can click the Brain Dump™ graphic in the right hand graphics column to find your way back to this page.

This Mars conjunct Pluto aspect would not be so challenging if there weren't a few other aspects occurring at the same time giving us the ol' shake, rattle and roll. Mars conjunct Pluto in itself with no issues surrounding it wouldn't be such a bad thing because it gives power to accomplish great things. Not everyone can handle this kind of power. I have provided 3 charts at the end of this write-up to show you what this kind of power looks like in three different women who have Mars Conjunct Pluto.

Saturn Square Neptune on DrStandley.com

Remember back in July 2016, I wrote a Brain Dump™ called, A World Gone Mad (Crazy) and Mad Angry? That write-up was all about the level of public anxiety that has reached a fever-pitch at over-whelming proportions to the point that it has become a global crisis. In that write-up I talked about the challenges of Saturn square Neptune that began its applying aspects back at the tail end of March 2016 and beginning of April 2016. Basically that means Saturn and Neptune were coming closer together in degrees causing us to feel as though we were going mad (crazy) or mad (angry). The South Node in Pisces, which rules depression, melancholy, drugs, alcohol and rehab didn't help matters much. Down the well into self-pity many of us went. From June 5 - 18, 2016 Saturn and Neptune were exact and really scraping its fingernails on the blackboard. Then from August 30 - September 21, 2016 Saturn and Neptune were in the same degree AGAIN and really testing our sanity. By this time we will have lost a couple of friends and maybe even separated from a family member or two. If it wasn't one thing, it was another, and if it wasn't another thing, it was ONE THING! If you didn't drink alcohol, this aspect could make you take that drink! And if you are a recovering addict, this aspect could make you fall off the wagon. This aspect is tough for a sober person, so you can imagine what it has been like for an addict. Here and there I have been reminding you that this aspect will not fully SEPARATE in degrees and get the hell away from each other until October 31, 2016 (Halloween). So if you are single, I have been saying, DON'T LOOK FOR A RELATIONSHIP RIGHT NOW! Stay single until after this aspect passes, but people generally will not listen to that kind of advice when they are lonely. It's just the way it is.

Mars Conjunct Pluto on DrStandley.com

Also, Jupiter changed signs on September 9, 2016 and started putting relationships, binding agreements, lawsuits and contractual partnerships to the test. So relationships that had been on shakey ground, Jupiter immediately started blowing up the issues like a balloon (because Jupiter expands whatever it touches) and those relationships are squirming right now because we are still under Saturn square Neptune (mad crazy angry) energy until October 31, 2016. Happy relationships are getting blown up happier, but shakey relationships the balloon is just about ready to blow the relationship to smithereens. I have been telling many of you searching for a new relationship to hold off searching for Mr. or Miss Wonderful until 'at least' after Halloween on October 31, 2016. Good grief, NOT RIGHT NOW!

This brings us up to Wednesday, October 19, 2016 when Mars and Pluto will be in 'exact' degrees in Capricorn. Both planets are in the sign of Capricorn right now and have been since September 27, 2016, which will last until November 9, 2016, which is until after the U.S. Presidential Election. Oh, just in time for a REVOLUTION! Pluto in Capricorn already puts people in the streets, now let's add in some Mars in Capricorn. Keep in mind that Capricorn is the sign of the authority figure, the father, the general, the drill sargeant, the government, the military, the boss, the manager and the policeman. AUTHORITY! Capricorn also rules our status in the community and our rank in society. Capricorn is the diva and the prince of the zodiac, and they ABSOLUTELY WANT RESPECT! Mars and Pluto in Capricorn are squaring Libra's right now, so the wonderfulness that Jupiter normally brings, isn't really bringin' it . . right now. It's bringin' more headaches is more like it. But again, everyone needs to lay low and be very very very cool right now until this whacked energy is cut loose from our atmosphere. All of this energy together has not only the likelihood, but it has the probability of delivering an 'October Surprise' not only to the nation, but to each of us on a personal level. Watch for this folks because it is real and you will not be able to miss it.

Mars Conjunct Pluto on DrStandley.com

Mars is the planet of assertion, drive, endurance, competition and stamina. Pluto is the higher octave of Mars, of which both are now in the sign of Capricorn exaggerating, emphasizing and exponentiating the energy. When you put Mars and Pluto in Capricorn, this is authority, TAKING AUTHORITY and the people holding authority accountable. You get the people rising up against authority saying, "You're not the boss of me!" But wait a minute, Capricorn is the boss of the zodiac. It is the authority figure. Pluto is explosive, like plutonium, as the higher octave of Mars. If you remember what I wrote in your Generational Horoscope about Pluto in Capricorn, and now Mars snuggling Pluto is in the same degree same sign, pulling the pin and throwing the grenade on this energy. Remember, Pluto in Capricorn lasts from 2008 until 2024 because it is a 16 year transit, which means right here, right now, in 2016, we are at the halfway point. Pluto in Capricorn is 8 years away from being over. Mars has come in for a brief period of time from September 27 until November 9, 2016 to get that revolution rolling. But wait, it has already been rolling for quite a few years, even before Ferguson and the National Guard in November 2014. Now Mars comes into the picture and snuggles Pluto in the same sign and increases its volatility. BAM! KAPOW! BLAM! BOOM!

Two years ago, on November 10, 2014 is when Missouri Govenor Jay Nixon announced he was bringing in the National Guard to assist with the unrest in Ferguson, MO. It was during that time (2 years ago) when Mars and Pluto were conjunct just like they are now. BAM! KAPOW! BLAM! BOOM! Remember, Capricorn rules the military, the government and the police....AND we all know how well that went. This is the very thing that I wrote about for Pluto in Capricorn in your Generational Horoscope that so many people were pissed off at me about in 2008, but I stood my ground and let the writing stand because Pluto in Capricorn will not be over until 2024, which incidentally is 8 years away and long enough for the next President to serve an 8 year term. Go ahead, you can drop a big 'F' bomb right here! So while we have been through this unrest all over the U.S. and then some more since 2014, now it spreads rampantly like a wildfire and we get some global proportion with Saturn in Sagittarius (the sign of global activity) in the mix.

Mars Conjunct Pluto on DrStandley.com

And speaking of Saturn in Sagittarius, I do believe the churches are going to start filling up again like they did after 9/11, you know, with the 'revolution' and all. Suddenly there were butts in the seats again on Sunday's. Saturn in Sagittarius is dead serious about religion, philosophy and the moral code, with strict adherence. I don't know how much longer the public is going to watch so much 'ass' being displayed, with that being 'bare ass' . . and 'attitude, acting like an ass' . . before they finally have had enough of it. Hey hey hey folks, this is not a judgment or opinion, I'm talking like a Saturn in Sagittarius with that last line. After all, Sagittarius does rule the horse butt. When the moral code gets lost, Saturn in Sagittarius steps up to rein it back in. Saturn in Sagittarius states that we need some moral code backbone and enough with all the shin-ass-igans. I mean shinanigans. Saturn in Sagittarius is concerned about reputation and now everyone will be looking at their own reputation and cleaning it up. There will be some self-righteous religious thumpers doing their best to impose their beliefs on others, but just as much as one will preach unbelief, the other gets to preach belief. It's only fair says Jupiter in Libra.

Mars conjunct Pluto at its worst leads us into the 7 deadly sins - Pride. Envy. Wrath, Gluttony, Lust, Sloth and Greed. Mars conjunct Pluto at its worst means it has some difficult energies looming around it that make it 'at its worst'. Aspects like Uranus in Aries within arms reach and just enough to stir the pot of controvery with 'sudden' neww flashes and creating a complete change in circumstance. Then of course Saturn Square Neptune, which I already talked about above. Then there is Jupiter in Libra, reaching out to Mars conjunct Pluto as well. Now remember Jupiter E-X-P-A-N-D-S whatever it touches and when Jupiter touches Mars and Pluto . . . BOOM! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT! DID YOU HEAR THAT? This aspect 'can be' incredibly explosive, destructive and war-like. This can also make a person a law unto themselves. When Jupiter shows up and reaches out to touch this conjunction, there will be a tendency to benefit financially through war, destruction or violence. This could be anything from selling guns or weapons (legally or illegally) to providing bandages for the injured. Mars and Pluto squaring Jupiter is extreme at its minimum, and it is even more extreme AT ITS EXTREME. So here's the thing, even after Mars disconnects from this equation on November 9, 2016 (one day after the election) Jupiter is STILL GOING TO SQUARE PLUTO and SH%! is going to hit the FAN! Jupiter squaring the Mars conjunct Pluto aspect is mental arrogance, so it is not going to hesitate to take the law into its own hands and throw down Martial Law!

Mars Conjunct Pluto on DrStandley.com

Mars conjunct Pluto at its best is the Superhero who comes in and rallies the troops, who is always Good and stands with authority to work with it, not against it. Mars conjunct Pluto at its best is Batman and Catwoman; Superman and Superwoman. Mars and Pluto represent sex, can you just imagine the night of sex that these superheroes would have? This is of course considering that there are no challenges to the Mars and Pluto conjunction, but that's not the case here. So instead of sex looking intense and passionate (like Bella and Edward from the movie 'Twilight' on their honeymoon) it ends up looking nasty, horny, perverted and pornographic.

Again, please read the smaller write-up on Mars Conjunct Pluto here! to understand the full effect of this energy and everything that Mars and Pluto rule. In short, Mars and Pluto rule other people's money, sex, intercourse, death, the dead, power, secrets, the mysterious, cravings and desire. It is also rules jealousy, cruelty, insecurity and greed. This is soooooo 7 Deadly Sins in its worst form in the way that it is manifesting while Saturn squares Neptune, and while Jupiter and Uranus send in their square. Mars conjunct Pluto will make sacrifices for power, even if they are human beings. Save the dogs and kill the babies! Whatever it takes to win the crowd and gain more power! Mars conjunct Pluto IN CAPRICORN has greed associated with it like nothing you have ever seen. And did I even mention that Capricorn rules corportations, CEOs and those who are in a position of corporate power? And let's not forget, Wall Street!

Now keep in mind folks, under these circumstances, the planets occurring as they are now, these are tough squares. When we see Mars conjunct Pluto without all of the ugly squares, reveals an individual who is an evolved soul who can handle the power. Since I color-code my charts, you will be able to see the lesser evolved chart very easily between the three individual charts that I have cast below who have Mars conjunct Pluto.

The first chart I cast who has Mars conjunct Pluto at EXACTLY 20 degrees in Scorpio is Shailene Woodley, the star of the 'Divergent Series' and 'The Fault In Our Stars'. Keep in mind folks, in my charts, all challenging hard energies are in RED and GREEN, and all easier energies are in BLUE. The next chart you will see is Taylor Swift. Taylor has the classic passive-aggressive power chart. Oh we know Taylor has a lot of power and she uses it well. When Taylor is finished with 'someone' or 'anyone', she reveals her power through music. This is the classic passive-aggressive style of Mars conjunct Pluto only hers is 'not in' exact degrees. Taylor's Mars and Pluto are in Scorpio at 10 degrees apart. Her conjunction of Mars and Pluto are right there on the very edge of not being a conjunction, but yet, it still is and we can see how she uses her power over others.

Mars Conjunct Pluto on DrStandley.com

Then we have the absolute extreme end of Mars conjunct Pluto with Hillary Clinton. Not only does she have Mars conjunct Pluto EXACT at 14 degrees in Leo (the sign of Bill Clinton), all of her Leo planets are squaring her Scorpio planets, and she's a Scorpio. Leo, the trustworthy sign, just isn't trustworthy in this chart. Folks, sorry to be the bearer of some bad news to many loyal followers, but this chart is about as trustworthy as Bernie Madoff. Remember Bernie Madoff, who made-off with millions of dollars in his investors monies? Bernie was a Sun in Taurus, South Node Taurus, Moon in Taurus, Venus in Taurus, Uranus in Taurus. Can you save LOVE OF MONEY and SUDDEN change in circumstance? There is no way I would have given a person with that chart any of my money. NO WAY! When you look at Hillary's chart, the red buzzing lines back and forth from Leo to Scorpio and Scorpio to Leo is real. This isn't stuff I just make-up and post. What you will read below is what I wrote back in February 2016 in a Brain Dump™ back then. Make certain you look at all 3 of the charts below so you can see the obvious difference between how these three women handle power. It's highly unlikely when looking at Shailene or Taylor's chart that they will get caught up in anywhere near the kind of scandal's that Hillary has been caught up in. And folks, it will not end. As long as Hillary is in office, there will be more scandals coming one right after the other and it will always be someone else's fault. ALWAYS! I posted Trump's chart below just because someone will ask me about it and it has been posted in other Brain Dumps™. Notice how Trump has Mars and Pluto in the same Sun Sign (Leo) but they are not conjunct like Hillary's and his Mars and Pluto are not squaring anything.

Hillary's Mars conjunct Pluto at 14 degrees and Saturn in Leo at 21 degrees in the 9th house of dreams, ambitions, goals and worldly experiences does not know how to quit. I WANT MORE! The Mars/Pluto conjunction is a super-powerful placement in the sign of Leo. This placement is not only commanding, it is demanding with a volcanic temper because Leo is a fixed sign that doesn't take being wrong very well. Mars in Leo is powerful enough on its own and is the kind of energy that boxers want. Mars in Leo can kill a person in one blow, which is why a Mars in Leo individual should NEVER hit anyone. Now take that same energy and take it to its higher octave with Pluto in Leo.

Hillary's natal chart has sex, secrets, lies and probably a missing videotape just oozing out of its pores. It reeks of abuse of power, deception, lies, cover-ups, greed and power that is not going to correct itself. The Mars conjunct Pluto aspect in Hillary's chart is the worst form of this aspect and leads to the 7 deadly sins I just wrote about above - Pride. Envy. Wrath, Gluttony, Lust, Sloth and Greed. Believe me, Shailene and Taylor aren't getting caught up in anything remotely close to what Hillary has gotten caught up in with her conjunction. The charts don't lie, only the mouth does. She has a Moon in Pisces in the 4th house (family secrets), with a cluster of super-secretive (Scorpio) in the 12th house of secrets and what goes on behind closed doors. She has her Sun and South Node in Scorpio (secrets) along with her Mars and Pluto conjunction in Leo squaring her secretive Scorpio planets in the 12th house of secrets and what goes on behind closed doors. The 12th house is what you don't want others to see or know about you. Her 12th house of skeletons in the closet, jails, imprisonment, self-undoing and you got what was coming to you (karma) is loaded. This chart is so secretive that its a wonder that the ink didn't fade out like magic disappearing ink.

The day Mercury in Capricorn (not Mars) conjunct Pluto in Capricorn aspect appeared, that was the day that the government or those in a position of authority uncovering secrets revealed they were formally investigating her e-mail server and that several of her super-sensitive e-mails had been sent. Squares from Scorpio planets to a Mars and Pluto conjunction (especially in Leo) reveals a massive abuse of power. Folks, there is just no other way to say it, there are secrets billowing out of her energy. This is the kind of chart that if you tell this person your secrets, then you had better remain ultra-nuclear loyal or your secrets will be used against you. Count on it! Remember, Leo is the sign of devotion and Scorpio will hold a grudge and 'get you' when you least expect it. This Mercury/Pluto conjunction that just occurred will find out secrets, so its wise not to lie to anyone (much less the government) when you have a chart so full of secrets. The Mercury/Pluto conjunction is coming back to haunt her. Hillary may be in a world of trouble. Abuse of power like this can only go on so long. The Mars/Pluto conjunction that occurred can make one feel so deserving and entitled to power, prestige and presentation that it often leads to humiliation or a lesson in humility.

Now listen folks, if Hillary is your candidate, I can't walk on eggshells for you. The chart is what it is. Just remember, "The chart doesn't lie, only the mouth does." Her chart boldly claims that it's always someone else's fault. Remember the "vast right wing conspiracy" and her full 12th house of secrets in secretive Scorpio. The 12th house is naturally ruled by Pisces, which is the victim and the silent sufferer. I am absolutely positive that Hillary cries "poor me" a lot more behind the scenes and among those closest to her than she already does in public. I'm not making fun of her folks, I'm just stating the obvious with a Pisces Moon and a full 12th house that Pisces naturally rules, not to mention we are currently experiencing the South Node in Pisces until May 2017.

In my original post back in February 2016 in a Brain Dump™ when I said that I kinda felt sorry for Hillary . . well there's another reason. Hillary has her Venus squaring her Saturn and I would not wish this aspect on my worst enemy. It's tough enough that she has her Sun and South Node in the same sign, but to top it off its in jealous, insecure and grudge-holding Scorpio. Then add the Venus square Saturn aspect, which basically means she has an extremely hard time believing that she is loved 'at all' BY ANYONE, including her daughter and her husband. Venus is the planet of Love and security (including financial security), while Saturn is the planet of authority figures and the father. Bill Clinton certainly didn't help matters with his wicked love games. It is precisely this Venus square Saturn aspect that makes her have this formal and stiff disposition. She is uneasy and actually quite shy (in a wierd way) trying to overcome her insecurities. There is a huge fear of rejection with the Venus square Saturn aspect, especially by those who are suppose to love her, like her husband or father. It is this aspect that makes a woman defensive, hard, serious and masculine. Basically folks, SHE'S PISSED! There is a very high degree of anxiety with this Venus square Saturn aspect that makes it hard for her to relax and feel comfortable being herself, even around her own family, much less her friends. In the back of her mind, she's wondering what they want from her or if they really love her.

Growing up Hillary likely had to walk on eggshells due to the energy in the home. We can look to the Moon square Uranus for that energy. Chaos, erratic and sudden changes in the home were undeniable. I suspect some unrest, tension and uncomfortable level of emotions almost constantly.

Hillary also has her Black Moon in Capricorn in the 3rd house of communication. Capricorn rules government management, the boss, public, right? Well her Black Moon in Capricorn says she will hardly ever share any emotions, and may seem unapproachable. Achievement and status will be the method employed to feed the hidden need for emotional contact. At its extremes, she is anal retentive who must control everything!

Hillary's Mercury in Scorpio squares Saturn in Leo, two fixed signs. Not only are the signs fixed, but Mercury squaring Saturn in any two signs will result in a fixed individual who is stuck on their own ideas. There is also excessive worry with this aspect. If you notice in Hillary's interviews she will always use the word 'worry'. Worry is what Scorpio's do, but it is also what Mercury (the mind) in Saturn (responsibility) does. Hillary does not change her mind all that easy. Remember, she is a fixed sign.

Back to the abuse of power with her Leo planets squaring her Scorpio planets. There will always be a circle of suspicion surrounding Hillary Clinton. I don't look for this to go away any time soon, in fact I look for the uncovering of secrets to continue including as long as she is in public office and probably then some. It's part of who she is. Even if this natal chart were turned upside down or sideways, she would still have the same aspects, the same Sun and South Node to deal with and the same issues with laying blame and conspiracy theories. It's always someone else's fault with a chart like hers. Her planets in the 12th house, along with the Pisces Moon scream self-pity, victim and silent suffering.

The fork in the road may have been way back when she first met Bill Clinton. From that point on she stood by Bill's side, affair after affair, and accepting his morals and values, trading her own for being first lady of Arkansas and then first lady of the United States. Who she was with him may have been a motivating force. Hillary has always had power, and a massive amount at that. She may not have realized then what she was capable of if she would have just stood up for herself. She may have been able to save herself some embarrassment if she reeled her husband in and put her foot down a long time ago. She could have broke the glass ceiling for women (and herself) in a different way and overcome her Venus square Saturn aspect. Being First Lady of Arkansas and First Lady of the United States was an attractive alternative to leaving him. Hillary was going to be successful no matter what she chose. She was already on the road to success before she even met Bill. She is fierce, she is no quitter and she is still seeking that Love and approval that Venus square Saturn slapped on her life. Her chart does reveal that she is in a relationship lifetime. I believe she needed to learn how to stand up for herself due to her father's rearing (or actions), which followed her right into an embarrassing marriage with Bill Clinton. She even stood by Bill when it was revealed what he had done with a cigar with Monica Lewinksy, while in the Oval Office. The ick factor of Mars conjunct Pluto doesn't get more 'ick' than that. Will she finally feel or receive the Love and respect that she so desperately needs. The Sun and South Node connection along with Venus square Saturn will always be with her. It will always be a challenge, no matter what role, title, label or name becomes her. If Hillary is elected POTUS, mark my words, there will be more secrets, scandals and yes, lies to come. This tape and web of deceit will not end because she doesn't know how to end it. The snowball is too big. This chart becomes her or should I say, she has become her chart. Hillary's chart with Mars conjunct Pluto does represent the worst example that could possibly be revealed with this aspect, which results in the 7 Deadly Sins continually following her wherever she goes and it will not stop. Oh, and whether it is Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, this country is going into revolution, but I think we all already knew that, didn't we? Stay Astrologized™.


Dr. Standley's Astrology Brain Dump

[Posted Tuesday, October 11, 2016]

[ back to top ]

VENUS IN SAGITTARIUS

The last Brain Dump™ was October 10, 2016 called, Full Moon in Aries

Venus moves into Sagittarius on Tuesday, October 18, 2016 at 3:01 AM EDT until Friday, November 11, 2016 at 11:55 PM EDT. That's 25 days of Venus in Sagittarius. Venus transits a Sun Sign right at about every 30 days and sometimes up to 60 days depending on its motion, meaning if it involves a Retrograde or not. If a Retrograde is not involved with Venus in a calendar year, then it can make its way through all 12 Sun Signs in one year. In this case Venus will 'not' have a Retrograde in play during this time.

Venus is the co-ruler of Taurus (2nd house) and Libra (7th house). The 2nd house rules self-worth, earned income, personal possessions, value system, morals, values and one's own thoughts regarding sex, including masturbation. The 2nd house also rules banks, banking and personal debt. The 7th house rules committed relationships, marriages, contractual unions, agreements, partnerships, law, judgment, open enemies with the public (lawsuits), litigation and legal binding agreements and/or negotiations.

The Venus glyph is the upright symbol of Mars, where Venus is feminine (yin) energy and Mars is masculine (yang) energy. It is represented by the circle of spirit over the cross of matter. It represents the spirit overcoming matter through Love. Venus is the yin side of our emotional nature and rules Love, beauty, harmony, affection, appreciation, sensual, vanity, flirtatious, art, music and aesthetics.

Venus in Sagittarius on DrStandley.com

Here is a nice little piece of Venus trivia for you. Venus will never be more than Sun Signs away from the Sun. This means someone who has their Sun in Libra, will have their Venus within 2 Sun Signs on either side of Libra or it will be in the sign of Libra. This means there are five possibilities that a Libra Sun Sign individual might have their Venus in -- Venus in Leo, Venus in Virgo, Venus in Libra, Venus in Scorpio or Venus in Sagittarius. This helps you guess someone's Venus if you don't know their exact birthdate but know their Sun Sign. You can pretty rule out Venus in the opposite sign (Aries) or the three signs on each side Aries (Taurus, Gemini, Cancer) and (Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn). Cool huh?

Since the planet Venus is in the sign of Sagittarius right now, the subject matter falls under the 9th house of adventure, new experiences and using your higher thinking mind to put yourself out their mentally, religiously, spiritually and physically. Sagittarius also rules ambitions, goals, dreams (possibilities) and visions (observations and perceptions). Sagittarius takes you places because it has giddy-up and go energy. For those who are Sagittarius or who have strong Sagittarius charts, it takes them across the Ocean to other countries. Since Sagittarius rules the higher mind, this includes philosophy, religion, ministries, science, world trade, colleges, universities, trials (law), litigation, foreigners and foreign affairs.

Venus wants you to share in adventure with your partner, ranging from sharing adventurous ideas to hiking in the mountains. You may also enjoy relating with foreigners, and dining out with your partner with a foreign cuisine. This brings excitement and adventure to relationships. This is what makes you run off to zipline or book a cruise.

Sagittarius on DrStandley.com

Venus in the sign of the one who favors religion and spirituality, this will bring about a strengthening and understanding in religious and spiritual conviction. During this time, as you witness a much wider audience reaching out to religion and spirituality, this could be due to the many horrific things occurring in the world but I assure you, Venus in Sagittarius also has a lot to do with it. In other words, people will likely get more in touch with their spiritual or religious roots.

Keep in mind that when Venus moves into Sagittarius, it is coming out of its detriment in the sign of Scorpio where it acts out inappropriately. When Venus is in Scorpio the energy is awesome and intense for the happy couples, but it is awful and tense for the unhappy couples. Venus in Scorpio is secretive and mysterious. Well Venus in Sagittarius is not going to put up with mysterious and secretive and will want all of the Love cards on the table. Venus in Sagittarius will not put up with, "I can't share and tell how I feel." This transit is BOLD! There will be no secrets, no guessing games (he loves me, he loves me not) type of BS with this transit. Venus in Sagittarius is forthright, honest, bold, blunt and open with feelings; therefore, you may notice that you are more forward with your feelings during this time that it could put others off. You may also state your opinions with such straightforwardness that it may seem offensive to others. Check your tone, words and body language before you say it. Just because you think it does not mean you should say it. [Keep reading . . . ]

Dr. Standley's products and services

During this Venus in Sagittarius transit some people may seem selfish as they impose their opinions (the higher thinking mind) on others. Who knows, it could be you doing it? And if it is you, keep in mind that just because you have an opinion does not necessarily mean it is correct. It's just an opinion. Oh and this energy arrives just in time weeks before the U.S. Presidential Election. Remember that others have an opinion too. In short, refrain from forcing your religious, political or spiritual views on others. As I always say, "If you are so spiritual, then my religion should not bother you a bit." If you want others to understand your views, then 'date' them with your views and let them get use to you, rather than trying to 'marry' them with your views right away. If you try to marry them with your views right away, they will run away from you. It's like someone knocking on the door for a first date and the other person answers the door in wedding attire.

Sagittarius on DrStandley.com Not only would this make the other person run, but it would make them sprint away from you at record pace. Date them with your views and give them a chance to think about your words rather than force them to agree with you. An aggressive approach with 'views' could have you backing up like a horse taking a few steps back. Notice, people will actually take a few steps backward. You can either turn on a person or turn off a person with this Venus in Sagittarius transit. This could also show up as the person who talks bad about religious people, forcing their view down others throat, which is exactly what they accuse the religious people of doing, which is forcing their view down others throat.

There is a hightened interest to outdoor sports, which is something you will want to remember if you are dating. Someone with Venus in Sagittarius in their natal chart would naturally be attracted to someone who engages in outdoor sports.

Sagittarius on DrStandley.com

During this time it could make all of us more attracted and/or understanding to those of a foreign land or culture that is different than our own. This makes those who have Venus in Sagittarius in their natal chart more attracted to those who speak more than one language or they might speak with an accent. There is also an attraction to those who have a college education or those with advanced degrees (MBAs, Ph.D., and other doctorates).

The day before Venus moves into Sagittarius on Tuesday, October 18, 2016 make certain you check your Monthly Horoscope because your Monthly Horoscope will be updated with your new Venus Opportunity. For now, Venus is still in the sign of Scorpio. Stay Astrologized™.

Dr. Standley's Astrology Brain Dump

[Posted Monday, October 10, 2016]

THE FULL MOON IN ARIES

The last Brain Dump™ was October 6, 2016 called, Mercury in Libra

There is a Full Moon in Aries at 23 degrees 14 minutes on Sunday, October 16, 2016. This is your 6th month check-up to the New Moon in Aries that occurred 6 months ago on Thursday, April 7, 2016. What was that 'new beginning' or 'fresh start' that you initiated at that time because it is now time for your 6th month check-up to see how you are coming along. You should be well into your project or well on your way into turning over that new leaf.

Aries rules how other's see you, the personality, attitude, how you see the world, how you look, appearances, your worldly outlook, and self-awareness and how you respond. It describes how you see yourself and how others see you. It can also describe your physical appearance. Other keywords include: the self, ego, anima, projected image, expression of inner motivation, soul purpose, initial approach to life, the aura.

Libra rules partnerships, unions, committments, contracts, marriages, agreements, and open enemies with the public (lawsuits). Other keywords include: business partnerships, long-term associations, open enemies, the animus (underlying passion or force), the relationship between soul and personality.

Full Moon in Aries on DrStandley.com

So you can easily see here that we have here the situation .... I Am vs. We Are .... Me vs. Us .... Myself vs. Ourselves .... I can do it myself vs. I need help .... Lone survivor vs. Helpmate .... Singularity vs. Duality .... On my own vs. The two of us.

This is an identity situation that is all about the self (Aries) vs. ourselves (Libra). This is where couples run into problems because of the tug of war with what one individual wants vs. what is best for the couple. Typically if one couple is fighting for their own way, then they are in 'me' mode and not 'we' mode because they are ultimately looking out for their own Good, not the Good of the couple. This might not be a 'romantic couple' relationship at all, it could be an opposition in the career sector, home sector or money sector for your Sun Sign. (See below) The Aries Full Moon will shine a bright light where any issues will be brought to the surface including all of the emotions surrounding it.

pisces

This Full Moon in Aries is accompanied by Uranus in Aries at 22 degrees snuggling right up against the Moon in Aries at 23 degrees and opposing the Sun at 23 degrees. Uranus is the planet of having the carpet pulled right out from underneath you or having such a sudden change in circumstance that you didn't see it coming. Uranus and the Sun are in opposition to each other and are not friendly neighbors. They don't like being opposite opponents. First of all the Sun is naturally ruled by Leo, and Uranus is naturally ruled by Aquarius. Leo and Aquarius are opposite signs, so you see how this energy is challenged from the get go. This is a face-off, which can make the energy unpredictable and argumentative, where just about everyone feels like their individuality is being thrwarted or squashed. This makes for antsy individuals who are a bit impatient and irritable. Folks, this change could very well be Good because you do have a responsibility to recognize the energy and do with it what you may. I know the easy route is to think bad things, but its just as easy to entertain the notion that this could be exactly what you have been waiting for, only better. Certainly Mars and Pluto are conjunct (within 3 degrees of each other) but they are not close enough in degrees to reach out and touch this Full Moon.

pisces

When the Full Moon is lit up and bright, it is shining a tremendous amount of Light on the issue at hand. This Full Moon will Light up the area of your natal chart that is ruled by Aries and Libra, especially the area at 23 degrees, which I have indicated below. The Moon is the planet that rules our emotional nature. Folks, this Moon could easily pull you into your own ego (Aries) or the lure of sharing your Life with another (Libra).

Since the Full Moon is in Aries it is really all about the house of Aries in your chart, so use this time to do that 6 month check-up on yourself that began 6 months ago. Not only is this about the self vs. the couple but the relationship between the personality (Aries) and the soul (Libra). Use the Guidance button to left on this website and use the prayers, affirmations, novenas, information on meditation, etc., to help you get to the place that you need to be. Stay Astrologized™

This opposition involves your 1st (Aries) and 7th (Libra) houses. The 1st house of identity and how other's see you. This house also rules the personality, your attitude, how you see the world, how you look, appearances, your worldly outlook, and self-awareness and how you respond. It includes the self, ego, anima, projected image, expression of inner motivation, soul purpose, initial approach to life and your aura. Take special note that this first house rules your soul's purpose and your inner motivation. And the 7th house of contractual relationships. This house also rules unions, lawsuits, contracts, partnerships, marriages, agreements, and open enemies with the public. This can be partnerships in business, marriage or a committed relationship that is a live-in arrangement. It also includes long-term associations, the animus (underlying passion or force), the relationship between soul and personality. Read more about what the 12 houses rule here!

You may experience some conflict in your relationship and accuse the partner of not being there for you and being unsupportive. There is a high probability that your behavior will come across as selfish and self-centered. You may even be called a self-centered type of name. And you may not really give a rat! It will be easier to deal with this Full Moon in Aries when you remember that the other person is also dealing with the Full Moon in Aries. Contrary to Aries belief, the world does not revolve around you. While it is certainly affecting your Sun Sign the most, it is also affecting relationships. With Uranus near this could cause you to throw yourself down on the floor in a temper-tantrum and then burst the relationship bubble. Take it down about 10 notches because there is also the per chance that you are on the floor throwing a hissy fit while opportunity walks right on by. Aries and Libra are going through the same thing since the same houses are involved except the houses are flipped.

There is a pretty high probability that you are doing too much to help others. In other word, you can only do so much and then others have to help themelves. Instead of doing the fishing for others, how about teaching them how to fish. You can easily find yourself in rescue mode as you try to become the caped crusader saving everyone from themselves, and then there will be nothing left for yourself. Ohhhhh, put your mask on first dear Taurus. These two houses have everything to do with health, so you must take care of yourself first, especially your psychological and mental health, which is evidenced by the 12th house (Aries) in your solar chart. Your hidden strength is your ability to hold someone else up when they are down, but they are not to lean on you, hold onto you and pull you down in the process. Taurus and Scorpio are going through the same thing since the same houses are involved except the houses are flipped.

Cat scratch fever? You will really need to self-monitor your tone, body language, verbage and level of communication because you could end up saying something that goes just a bit too far and then find yourself in a tangled war of words. You may end up repeating something that is false that causes someone else to call someone in a position of authority (like a lawyer). I know, this is weird energy but you will really need to watch your temper because this could make you say things that end up classified as 'libel' or 'defamation'. Your 3rd house wants you to talk sweetly. Maybe you could call a sibling who will let your run your mouth so that you don't accidentally say what you really want to say outloud and then up getting recorded or videotaped. A lot of people are real anxious to hold up their phones these days and start recording. Look up the words 'libel' and 'defamation' so you are very aware of what they mean so you will know exactly what not to do. While this could be a great time for you to publish your writings on a blog or website (or even a book), make certain you stay on the sweeter side of yourself. Leo and Aquarius are going through the same thing since the same houses are involved except the houses are flipped.

This could be a power struggle with the one who controls the money or it could be with the spouse over money because this 8th house rules the spouse's income.

Dr. Standley's Astrology Brain Dump

[Posted Saturday, October 8, 2016]

MERCURY IN LIBRA

The last Brain Dump™ was October 5, 2016 called, The Universal Womb Called, "Mom"

Mercury moves intO Libra on Friday, October 7, 2016 at 3:56 AM EDT until Monday, October 24, 2016. That's 18 days of Mercury in Libra, which is just about right. Mercury moves through all 12 Sun Signs pretty darn fast, but not as quickly as the Moon does spending only 2 to 2-1/2 days in a sign where as Mercury spends about 17 or 18 days in a sign before it moves on to the next sign.

Mercury stands for the intellect, common sense, cold reason, commerce and business. Its qualities are fluidity and versatility. Its position and aspects tell us about our communication and learning habits and our modes of thinking. The house that Mercury occupies in your Natal Chart is where these characteristics will manifest the most.

This Mercury in Libra transit focus on the right relations with people. In fact, the psychology of 'right relationships' is going to be a bigger topic of conversation and investigation right now. Did you know that Mercury in Libra makes it easier to understand astrology? Happiness in relationships is very important durign this transit. In fact, the unhappy relationships that are not working will be easier for both parties to release simply because relationship happiness is so important right now. Letting go of a non-working relationship and giving up whatever you were clinging to in that relationship is going to be a bargain compared to what you will get once you release the energy.

Mercury in Libra on DrStandley.com

Mercury in Libra causes us to become more curious about relationships and thinking about the behavioral patterns in relationships. Good communications and happiness in relationships takes on higher importance as we begin studying our relationship communication patterns. This creates a desire for a mental partnership with easy communication because of our interest in what others think.

Since Libra rules fair play and justice, then we can count on seeing more individuals becoming vocal about injustices. Not to mention this transit is very Good for anything legal and those in the legal profession.

Mercury in Libra intensely dislikes crude, coarse or crass behavior and speech. Those who use curse words reflexively will probably be called out by the first person standing by. This type of behavior will be socially unacceptable.

Since this transit is more concerned about right relations with people, then studies that have to do with the study of people become more popular. This might be astrology, arbitration, counseling, sales, marketing, negotiating, the legal profession, public relations, sociology and psychology. Anything that studies or accounts for human behavior and what makes others tick will take on a heightened interest. Being able to communicate in these fields is vital. There is a strong curiosity as to what others think, so much so that there is a need to work with others on a mental level, not necessarily on an intellectual level.

This transit makes an excellent diplomat and peacemaker, who often acts as a go-between in relationships. This would be someone like a mediator, negotiator, counselor or lawyer. This energy is great for putting others at ease. While arguments and strong debates could prove to be upsetting, the outcome will likely be harmonious if Mercury in Libra is involved and has anything to say about it. [Keep reading . . .]

Mercury in Libra is not aggressive, but if there is an injustice going down, then Mercury in Libra will be there to prosecute and make certain that scales even out and justice is served. Mercury in Libra can't let the scales be tipped out of alignment, especially where there is an injustice. Communication is Good and dealings are honest and forthright. Strong principles and mental discipline are also strengthened during this transit. This will also cause one to expect the same out of others, but remember, others have their own chart and Mercury as well, so expectations may prove disappointing. Go ahead and hold yourself to your standards and then hope for the best from others.

There is due consideration to all sides of a formal argument before a decision is made. Just like in a courtroom, so will you be weighing all sides before rendering your decision. At some point during the Mercury in Libra transit will you find yourself feeling like judge and jury. Take your time because channeled inappropriately could lead to indecisive non-action, which results in a missed opportunity. This transit does not usually make bad decisions as it is thoughtful in its approach to problems.

Those who are well-read or who have developed themselves in the areas of higher thought are quite capable of profundity (deep thought). Those who are not as mentally developed may agree with those around them just to be on the side of popularity or to be accepted.

Mercury in Libra seeks an association with refined minds, honest interests, clean reputations, excellent manners and social skills. Those who are crude in behavior and have uncouth manners you will not be able to get away from them fast enough. In fact, you will fall all over yourself just trying to get away.

This transit is sensitive to personal appearances including hygiene and manners, because Mercury is the natural ruler of picky picky picky Virgo and also the ruler of body language expert Gemini. Libra is the sign of beautiful appearances. When someone is being socially inappropriate in style, communication, body language or appearance, this would be considered a social affront (offense).

Saturn is exalted in the sign of Libra causing one to be firm, stern and hardworking. Stay Astrologized™.

Dr. Standley's Astrology Brain Dump

[Posted Wednesday, October 5, 2016]

THE UNIVERSAL WOMB CALLED "MOM"

The last Brain Dump™ was October 3, 2016 called, Being You Takes Practice

This is as Good as a day as any to remind you to step out of your South Node (daily). Remember, your South Node is the drain, or hole in your chart. It is that bottomless pit that no matter how much you try, no matter how much energy you pour into your South Node, you cannot fill it up. It is the hole in your pocket where anything you put into it falls right through. It is impossible to fill up this pit because it is bottomless. Since there is no bottom, stop trying so hard to fill it up. Do you hear me? This South Node is your connection to the past, your past lives, which is why there is such an attraction to it, because you know it so well. While you may be in unfamiliar territory every day of your Life with your North Node, you are in familiar territory every day of your Life with your South Node. You know the 3rd grade, you know your first job and you know how to tie your shoe, but it doesn't mean you should go back and keep relearning the 3rd grade, your first job and how to tie your shoe. That doesn't make much sense, does it? Honestly, the South Node is just like that. It's almost too easy to remember the rule, DON'T GO BACK THERE, but yet there we go and down we go. You have been there, done that, AND got the T-shirt. It's over! But what you can do is take everything that you have learned from your past and take it with you as you fulfill your destiny (destination).

South Node on DrStandley.com

We come into this world through the Universal Womb we'll call, "MOM." As we enter this world we are dragging behind us one piece of luggage. And in that one piece of luggage is everything we learned from our past lives. It's our tool box, experience and knowledge from previous lifetimes. We are not supposed to relive those lives that we have packed in the luggage, but by golly we can sure as heck use the tools, knowledge and experience of them to get to our destiny (destination), which is our North Node in this lifetime.

As we enter this world either sliding out or being pulled out, it is a rather dramatic and sometimes traumatic experience. We were warm and cozy and then all of the sudden BAM! now we are cold, it's loud and all of these strange fleshy things are touching us (fingers and hands). We want our mom. She's around here somewhere. We know her voice. I'm thinking when we are ready to be birthed, maybe it's like we are getting ready to take one of those icy polar plunges. In the spirit world we know what we are in for because we have seen the birthing process over and over again from the other side. Maybe there is a crowd of spirits on the other side yelling, "DO IT! ... JUST GOOOOOOO! ... YOU HAVE TO KICK YOUR WAY OUT! ... YOU HAVE TO BREAK THE SACK! ... STICK YOUR FINGER THROUGH THE SACK! ... SCRATCH IT AND IT WILL TEAR! ... JUST POKE IT! ... KICK TOWARD THE BOTTOM AND THEY WILL HELP YOU OUT!" ... See where my mind goes folks? Then once we are birthed and we make it out of the gooey slime, it's cold, strange and scary. Maybe as babies crossing over from the spirit world and into this world we were thinking, "Well it sounded like a Good idea at the time." Maybe we just arrived from a previous trip here on earth and decided to get right back on the roller coaster instead of sitting it out for a while.

North Node on DrStandley.com

It is interesting how we all get here through the same time traveling capsule, the mother's womb. It doesn't matter if you were biological, adopted, a surrogate birth or came through some other form of in vitro fertilization, we all arrived here the same way, through the Universal Womb called, "Mom." Being here as babies, it's no wonder that the little children see things, hear things and know things that we adults are no longer open to. When you think about it, at birth or at the end of Life, we couldn't be more closer to God than being right there in that moment. Over the years we have been told that what we know, see or hear isn't real. The more time that passes, we begin to get layered up with human experiences forgetting that we were hear to fulfill the North Node mission, but yet we have that piece of luggage with all of those previous lifetimes. So we constantly open up the suitcase and rummage through it. We get in relationships with familiar energy that is our South Node, we take jobs that are our South Node and we do things that reflect our South Node. [Keep reading . . . ]

I was talking to a man the other day who was having the most difficult time with his former wife. I asked why he insisted on talking to her when the Moon is in his South Node. He said, "The Moon was in my South Node?" I said, "Yes, have I not taught you anything!!!" Then he laughed and wondered why he couldn't just remember to consider that the Moon (emotions) might be in his South Node. I told him because he was all slathered up in layers of human-ickness and he forgot who he was. Folks, when the Moon is the sign of your South Node then write it on the mirror in your bathroom. If your South Node is in Libra, then by golly you need to know when the Moon is in Libra because your emotions will go straight down the toilet, eh hem, I mean staight down the South Node. When the Moon is in your South Node it will be your most draining two days out of the month. And when the Sun is in the same sign as your South Node, that will be the most draining month of your year. I always say that when the Sun is in Pisces, that's when I'm going to go on vacation because my South Node is Pisces. And when the South Node is in your Sun Sign, then that will be the most challenging 1-1/2 years that you will have had in about 18 or 19 years.

North Node in Virgo and South Nodes in Pisces on DrStandley.com

At this writing, the North Node is in Virgo and the South Node is in Pisces. The North Node is where your cup runneth over and the South Node is the bottomless pit. So Virgo's cup is running over, while Pisces people are getting slapped, beatin' and kicked while they are down. This energy began back on November 12, 2015 and will last until May 9, 2017. The Nodes stay in a Sun Sign for about 1-1/2 years and then change. See the North and South Node Calendar right here to see what sign your North and South Node are in. Then check your mate, family, friends and it will tell you a lot as to why you can't stand each other or maybe why you can. Folks I can go on and on and on about the Nodes, but if you are interested in even more information, I do have an e-Book on the Nodes in my Holistic Shop called, "Understanding and Using your North and South Node." It is also a Good idea to continue monitoring what degree the Nodes are currently in so you can see how they will impact you as they make their way across the sky. Today the North and South Node are at 12 degrees, so you will want to look at your own personal natal chart to see where 12 degrees is for you. If you have an Expansive Natal Chart that I wrote for you, then use the 2nd chart wheel in your Chart Configurations and Graphics file to find where 12 degrees is. That 2nd chart looks like it has a ruler around it and those are the degrees. There are 360 notches around that wheel with each representing a degree. In this way you can track the planets as they transit your chart. You can also use the North and South Node Transiting Degrees Calendar to see where the degrees of the Nodes are today. And as usual, if you have a product (chart or report) that you bought from me, you are always welcome to call me.

The Nodes are incredibly fun to watch yourself live with and live through, and they can be fun to watch your family and children as well. Once you know the Nodes and have your handle on them, Life is so much easier and as usual, it's even easier when you just follow the rules. Stay Astrologized™.

Dr. Standley's Astrology Brain Dump

[Posted Monday, October 3, 2016]

BEING YOU TAKES PRACTICE

The last Brain Dump™ was October 1, 2016 called, God Is The Law, Astrology Is The Rules

Here is a thought for you, if you knew everything there was about being your Sun Sign, then why are you that Sun Sign? I'm a Gemini, if I know so much about being a Gemini, then why am I a Gemini? You would think if I knew all there was about being Gemini, then I wouldn't be a Gemini this time around, but alas here I am, a Gemini. If you have an Expansive Natal Chart that I wrote for you then you know that we cycle through all 12 Sun Signs spending 12 lifetimes in one Sun Sign. So 12 lifetimes in one Sun Sign x 12 of them = 144 lifetimes. Don't think for a second that you have your Aries thing down cold or your Sagittarius thing down cold or your Pisces thing down cold. No no no my dear little mentator, you are here as your Sun Sign because you are still learning about being that Sun Sign. You have to spend 12 lifetimes in one sign before you can move on. Heck, by the time I finish cycling through Gemini 12 times, I'm going to be one helluva a great communicator and a fantastic driver. LOL! Gemini is great at talking themselves out of tickets simply because Gemini rules both communication and transportation.

Going through a certain Sun Sign 12 times reminds me of the many places we live throughout our Life or the many jobs we have throughout our life or the many relationships we will experience throughout our life. I believe we keep recycling over and over and over again because it gives us practice until we get it just right (ripe) and then we turn to Light and leave the planet and cycle through another round. Each lifetime that we pass through, we just get better and better and better. Folks, I can go down the rabbit hole so deep on this subject it would make your head spin. I've been studying past lives since the age of 12 when I first began reading Edgar Cayce. I would park it on the floor in the isles of the local libary as I waited for my mom to finish driving the school bus and then she would pick me up. I love talking past lives with my clients during astrology phone readings. [Keep reading . . . ]

Being you takes practice, as our pattern of recycling shows us, which is why it is so important to get to know your own personal chart. There are all kinds of golden nuggets in your chart just waiting for you to discover about yourself 'this time around'. Whether or not you like it, realize it or see it, you don't have your Sun Sign down cold because you are still here! I see you! That's the reality of it, you are still here. As long as you have not turned to Light and graduated from the planet, you are still learning and working on being that Sun Sign of yours. That's the really cool thing about getting to know yourself is there are so many things to discover and learn about you. So why not just go nuts on yourself and say, "Let's do this crazy thing!" If you stand in the same place year after year and refuse to embrace something new or wonderful about yourself, then you don't get the full benefit of being you and neither does anyone else. Everyone will get cheated and robbed out of you, not being you, including you. Dang, what a mess!

I remember a half-billion years ago when my astrologer Thomas (may God rest his soul) told me what a great cook I was. I remember saying to him, "I don't know whose chart you're reading but it's not mine. I don't cook at all. I don't even boil eggs. The only thing I can make is my bed!" Without smiling, without batting an eyelash, his stern and deliberate Leo voice roared back to me, "That's because you haven't tried!" I conceded and said, "You know what, you're right. That is absolutely true. I have never really tried to cook a decent meal." I told him that I was a woman of science and I would be willing to put my chart to the test. So I did, I tested it. And folks, I guarantee that I can boil a paper bag, throw in some spices and you would find it delicious. He was right, my chart is right, it is True, I am a fabulous cook. But then of course I would be a great cook because I am a North Node Virgo and Virgo rules the 'chef' who meticulously measures and cooks perfectly. Of course being a 'chef' is where my cup would run over. Here is something else that is interesting, God created us and He created the blueprint for us, our astrological chart. We do not 'have to' embrace the chart, just like we don't have to embrace God. We get to choose. We get to choose to receive these gifts and put them to use or we can turn them down. It's called 'free will' folks!

You don't have to embrace any of this stuff about yourself. Heck no, if it doesn't feel Good to hear it or read it then you can move on to another website that makes you feel so great that you don't have to change. (winky wink) Alas, but that is not why you are here because I know that if you found me, you want more out of your Life and you want more out of Astrology. We were brought together on purpose because God is on purpose. You won't get more unless you recognize and embrace even the things that don't feel Good or that are just downright unattactive about yourself. Every sign needs to get a grip and recognize their weakness, faults and flaws. We are all just walking along, stumbling, tripping and slobbering all over ourselves just trying to figure it all out and get it right. I am a Gemini and I have no problem telling a Gemini that they better find another Love to channel their 'other self' into and I mean a project, career or work because Gemini's are very well known for having two loves. The spare Love they keep in their back pocket just in case the other one doesn't work out. Having another channel for Love will keep the easily bored Gemini occupied. I am a Gemini and I know exactly what that's like and it negates being committed to anything or anyone because of the intense need for freedom. I had to learn too! Now I have my Scorpion King and my website (which I LOVE) and the energy is properly channeled. My two Loves get all of me. Granted some people may not be ready to hear what isn't so attractive about them and they may take offense to the information but then maybe the individual isn't ready. We are ready, when we are ready. So my little mentators, read your personal natal charts over and over again. Highlight in yellow what you want to play UP and shine a Light on. Highlight in pink that which you wish to play down and soften. Being you takes practice. Stay Astrologized™.

Now get out there.  Go play yourself UP! and practice being you.  ~Dr. Loretta Standley

Dr. Standley's Astrology Brain Dump

[Posted Saturday, October 1, 2016]

GOD IS THE LAW
ASTROLOGY IS 'THE RULES'

The last Brain Dump™ was September 29, 2016 called, 131,760 Astrological Types

"Astrology is not Law; God is the Law! Astrology is 'the rules' and the rules are often broken." Let's think about the statement that I have posted at the top of each main horoscope page. This is very important when understanding how to 'use' and 'enjoy' astrology. If you have an Expansive Natal Chart that I wrote for you, which means the chart is written out in text form accompanied with chart configurations and graphics to guide you, then re-read your chart keeping this statement about 'the rules' in mind. Your personal chart is blatantly and boldly telling you when you are likely to use, mis-use, a-buse or dis-use a certain planet in a sign, configuration, transit, aspect or house. When you think of 'the rules' you will see these rules embedded in your chart.

It doesn't matter what section of your chart that you are reading, the first one or two paragraphs are always 'the rules'. When you read about the aspects that I post through the Astro-Memes, the first two paragraphs of the write-up always introduce 'the rules' of that aspect. I always give a brief description of whatever the subject matter is first. It doesn't matter if you are reading about quadrants, hemispheres, your Moon, elements or the strength strengths or weaknesses in your chart, there is an introductory paragraph that sets 'the rules'. [Keep reading . . . ]

Expansive Natal Chart on DrStandley.com

All Sun Signs have 'rulerships' and 'ruling' planets as you can see from your Expansive Natal Chart or just by looking to the left navigation column you will see Rulership links under Horoscope links. Rules and rulerships go hand in hand. If you know Saturn likes structure, discipline and responsibility, then I sure as heck wouldn't do anything to piss him off. Saturn can and will take off his belt and spank you. There is a reason why Saturn has a belt of rings around it, so he can discipline his children. Saturn represents 'the father' or 'authority figure' because that is 'the rule' and we are God's children so he gets to discipline us.

Folks, this is no different than you following the rules of road, the rules of Algebra or the rules of spelling. When you run into a spelling sequence ei or ie, then the rule "I before E, except after C" such as 'believe' and 'receive' will come into play. That is the rule! In most states you cannot make a right turn on a red light. If you do and get caught, you will get a ticket. If your Expansive Natal Chart says that money slips through your fingers and then you continually spend money as if you are just livin' the dream, then you are not using the 2nd house of money correctly. That 2nd house is about creating your self-worth, not debilitating it. Your 10th house is about your career and public life. It's not about having an affair with the boss. When I wrote your chart, I'm actually telling you the likelihood of you behaving one way or the other, which is you obeying or breaking a rule. It's up to you to pull yourself back in line and get straight and fly right. No right turn on a red! "I" before "e" except after "c". Stay Astrologized™.
