The BIG NEWS today is that ratty aspect of Venus in Gemini squares Saturn in Pisces at 04 degrees. This is an especially difficult aspect for those who are defensive, angry, needy, vulnerable or emotionally immature. I mean it will really be hard on these types of individuals and give them something to cry about.

The last time this aspect was exact was on November 7, 2022, so this will serve as a gentle reminder to those birth dates surrounding that date who are carrying this aspect in their 2022-2023 Solar Return. Birth dates affected by that round of Venus square Saturn, which at that time was Venus in Scorpio square Saturn in Aquarius, was birth dates from October 30, 2022 through November 14, 2022, with the exactness of the aspect on November 7, 2022. So the closer your birth date to November 7, 2022 the more you would feel this aspect.

Same goes with today. This aspect is exact today, and is in the 'orb of influence' of birth dates from April 7, 2023 until April 21, 2023. Keep reading . . .

Now read closely folks, Venus square Saturn today is A LOT DIFFERENT than Venus square Saturn back on November 7, 2022. Back then this aspect was accompanied by the 'Hater's be Hatin' aspect (Sun opposing Uranus), Love is blind aspect (Venus opposing Uranus), along with with the Sun in Scorpio dropping directly into the South Node in Scorpio. Not to mention there was a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse the day before and defensive in Talk to da' hand aspect (Mercury opposing Uranus). That certainly makes for a really difficult 2022-2023 Solar Return. Scorpio's between October 30, 2022 and November 14, 2022 are having one challenging Solar Return.

Go ahead, check out the November 2022 Astro Memes surrounding November 7, 2022 last year and you will see all of those hard aspects. Go ahead, check out those Astro Memes, I'll wait. I put a little piece of code to hold this page open while you go check out November 2022.

This round of Venus square Saturn is A LOT DIFFERENT. Remember, just two (2) days ago Venus trine Pluto (Higher Love) was exact and the juicy aspect of the Sun conjunct Jupiter was exact as well. And they are still present in the orb of influence! Keep reading . . .

Venus square Saturn puts a restriction and limitation on self-worth, which translates into net-worth. So the level at which you value yourself will have a direct and inverse relationship to your financial bottom line. What you believe is what you see. BE the person you want to Love you back. BE the manifestation of the Love you wish to see reflected back to you.

The posture of defensive, angry, needy, vulnerable or emotionally immature has a way of pushing others away, thereby creating the self-fulfilling prophecy of, "See! There ya' go, no one Loves me." That's such bullsh!t. If you are there, stop doing that. This aspect has a high poor-me-syndrome and self-pity that will simply not work for you. It is important to recognie the bullsh!t in this aspect because it is simply NOT TRUE!

If you are acting defensive, angry, needy, vulnerable or emotionally immature, it could easily push others away because that's a lot of devotion others would have to give you in order to make you feel better. They would literally have to stop their world, and hand it over to you. Who's self-important now?

Well, I think it's a Good thing this aspect carries the Venus in Gemini aspect because Venus in Gemini will say, "Fine, I'll give my attention to the other thing else I Love." Now this would be wonderful if that other Love as a career, hobby, side-hustle or something that makes you feel enthusiastic.

I can tell you, as a Gemini, this is SO TRUE for Gemini's, we have two (2) of everything. It's not even a joke. We have a back-up for our back-up. One for me, and the other me. And so it goes with having two (2) Love's. This does not mean all Gemini's cheat, but I'm being serious when I say, Gemini's need another Love because they do get bored and need excitement, even if they have to rock the boat and get everyone wet. As a Gemini, my other Love is this website. So you see, the Loves need to be Loves that Love you back. Ya' see . . . my visitors Love me back! LOL! Cool huh?

For Venus square Saturn, think about it this way, if you do not think and believe that you are 'Good enough', then how or why would anyone else think or believe you are Good enough? If you will not treat yourself well, then why would anyone else treat you well? After all, you are setting the standard for yourself, right? Is it the gold standard or not? And if not, do not be surprised if your standard of Love does not feel Good. Raise the damn bar!!! It's not them or they or set the bar for you, YOU DID!

Self-worth has to come from within, not from without. At the same time, nothing will teach you faster than being denied the very thing you are starved to have. Perhaps that is the lesson here. Perhaps now there is compassion, understanding and empathy for those who are strapped in conditions much worse than your own.

Venus square Saturn can put you in the very shoes that you need to walk-in, in order to relate to the people you need to relate to. This energy is not for nothing because that would not even make sense. What do you make of this energy? Literally. Put another way, what will you make of this energy? What will you do with this aspect in order to squeeze the juice out of it? Heck, the Sun conjunct Jupiter is still very much in the 'orb of influence'.

I don't believe for a second that God just rolls this bowling ball into our path to give us a hard time and make us believe that no one Loves us. That is SUCH ridiculous thinking! It's pitiful and poor-me-syndrome is what it is.

We are all from time-to-time being challenged with crosses to bear in order to get us to rise and become who we are meant to become, not only for ourselves, but for others. How could you possibly relate to others, even those within your own family or circle of friends, if you did not develop some compassion and understanding in some hard, strange or unusual way? Such is Life!

This aspect has been present in applying (approaching) degrees since April 7, 2023. It is exact today, and it will last until April 21, 2023. That's a long haul and a lot of birth dates that this aspect is impacting, but remember, this aspect is accompanied by Venus trine Pluto (Higher Love) and the Sun conjunct Jupiter (juicy aspect and pick aspect of the year).

It will be interesting to see what these birth dates make with this energy because something has to be made with it. While it may seem like a pile of mud, plenty of birth dates will handle this energy quite nicely and quite rightly.

For those of you on the sidelines watching a Loved one or friend with a birth date from October 30, 2022 until November 14, 2022 with exactness at November 7, 2022 . . . or from April 7, 2023 until April 18, 2023 with exactness today, how about some understanding, support and compassion.

Over the past several days I have been adding the 'Transiting Degree Calendars' to the bottom of the home page and to left-side-teal-colored navigation column when any astrology page is open. I have added transiting degree calendars for - Pluto, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury. Just yesterday I added Uranus in Taurus and Mercury in Taurus. The day before that it was Jupiter in Aries and Neptune in Pisces. And the day before that it was Pluto in Aquarius and Saturn in Pisces.

Today I will be adding the Venus in Gemini Transiting Calendar and Mars in Cancer Transiting Calender. So watch the home page for those uploads and I will post on FB when they are completed.

Folks, I have been writing to you that I am on a major push to get as much accomplished as I can before Mercury in Taurus turns Retrograde on April 21, 2023. We are already in the pre-shadow phase of Mercury Retrograde (Rx), which began on April 6, 2023 when Mercury entered 05 degrees, which is the degree that it will retrograde back to during its retrograde period. You will be able to see this on the Mercury in Taurus Transiting Degree Calendar.

So you see, I have been pushing myself to get as much accomplished as possible. This is also a better time to get your oil changed and take care of anything that could be communicative or automotive or gadgetry or maintenance completed BEFORE Mercury turns Retrograde. Once Mercury Retrogrades you DO NOT WANT to buy anything that is a gadget or auto related. If your washing machine goes out, wait until Mercury Retrograde is over to buy a new one.

Also you DO NOT want to sign new agreements or documents. Again, communication could be an issue.

So folks, press on the gas to set yourself up nicely. During Mercury Retrograde, I usually get a ton of stuff done during that time. I plan to be in my garden, not on my ass banging out calendars on the computer. I'm setting myself up for what I want to do with my time. Of course the Universe might have other plans, but I'll be ready, whatever that may be.

As a side note, look at the list of 2023 Planetary Retrogrades to the right. Notice that as of January 18, 2023, there are NO PLANETS RETROGRADE up until April 21, 2023 when Mercury will Retrograde 'again'.

So you can expect a lot of awareness, quickness, steadfast forward change, from the masses as they begin to awaken from their slumber-fairy-dust-sleep. There's going to be a lot of, "Oh sh!t".

This is the time to press on the gas and cram as much productivity you can in a short period of time. Oh right up my alley. Cram 55 lbs. in a 5 lb. can.

Folks, it is time to put on your skates because it's a power play. All the skaters are on the ice and you have a chance to score some points with the Universe.

Remember the quote from Wayne Gretzky, the greatest hockey player of all time? "I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been."

Cram as much as you can and get as much accomplished as you can before April 21, 2023. We will take a look back then at today's writing when the time comes.
