The Moon in Leo opposing Pluto in Aquarius at 2:23 AM EDT. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

Note - this is Day 16 of 25 of Mercury Retrograde. In case you missed it, Mercury turned Retrograde (Rx) on Monday, April 1st. You may want to click back and read the RED FONT ADDENDUM to catch some of the ideas I gave you for using Mercury Retrograde to your advantage.

This is the perfect time to learn about the 'Power of Pluto' in super-simple-scientific-terms. Even though only one (1) lone lunar aspect appears today, this one packs enough punch to get us all a little dirty and messy. Remember, when you see Pluto, think power. Here's why . . .

Plutonium was named after Pluto. Due to Plutonium's radioactive decay, meaning once it begins decomposing, it then becomes unstable losing its particles. When that occurs, it can be used as a heat source for satellites or a power source for batteries (for satellites). Taken to the next level of power, Plutonium can also go nuclear.

If you saw the movie, 'Knight and Day' with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz (satirical action comedy), the whole movie was about the 'Zephyr' (a perpetual battery) that eventually builds-up heat, becomes unstable and explodes. So there you have it. Pluto!

Let's put Pluto in Aquarius (the masses, friends, groups of people) and oppose that to the Moon in Leo, and we get the masses raging more than enough to just hiss some spit and scratch each others eyes out. Even though this aspect is occurring in the middle of the night in the U.S., it is still occurring during the day around the rest of the world.

Now let's remember that Pluto has so much power that it transforms. It seeks to transform, meaning it seeks to make a such a HUGE impact that whatever was, no longer looks like it once did. Pluto levels, to rebuild. Pluto destructs to reconstruct. Pluto dismantles to overhaul.

Ahhhhhhh yes, Aquarius rules Congress and Parliament. Oh yeah, just wait for it folks, the decay of Congress and Parliament, because it is already happening. Pluto is becoming 'unstable' for those in a position of power. We are hearing about so many politicians NOT seeking re-election simply because the dismantling has begun and the rebuilding will come.

Let's dial this down to a personal level. How do you handle Pluto (power)? Can you hold power without abusing it? Can you stand in a position of power without snapping your power like a whip? Can you handle power without controlling others?

The Moon (emotions) opposing Pluto (power) sure does like to get its jealousy, envy, anger and control freak on. What say you?

This aspect sounds like the person who says, "I'm not angry, I'm just passionate." Sounds like an excuse to be jealous, insecure and probably mean. Anger is anger. Decorate anger all you want (with the word passion) and it's still just lipstick on a pig.

The Moon opposing Pluto is dramatic and intense, which results in Love-hate relationships, which is likely a reflection of how one might feel about themselves or how they might feel about their parents. Ooooopsie! Watch this aspect folks because it is NOT attractive, but at least it gives us insight into what might be a character issue.

Since there is so much power and need for control in this aspect, one should channel this energy into a creative outlet that produces something bigger. Writers in all forms, musicians and singers do this all the time. So can you.

On another note - this coming June, July and August 2024, I will 'not' be writing ANY Natal Charts or Solar Returns. It is also quite possible that I may stop sometime in May 2024, I just don't know that date yet. I'm lining up my Life so that I can take this break in order to complete a different project, which will take all of three (3) months to accomplish.

I believe EVERYONE should have their Natal Chart, which is pretty is the fingerprint of your Life. It never changes. At least 'they' haven't found a way to jack with your fingerprint like 'they' have your DNA. (Insert massive dose of smartassiness.) Thank God, the Natal Chart also reveals where health issues will arise, so there's that. Anyway, the Natal Chart never changes and it is something you are always working through and working on.

The Solar Return is the report that reveals what your 'year' will look like from one birthdate to another. So if your birthday is today, then your Solar Return chart begins and it will last until your birthday next year. Now keep in mind the Universe does not speak our language as in - Monday, March 11, 2024. The Universe rolls by math and coordinates. So your birthday may have actually been yesterday or maybe it is tomorrow, when your birth 'date' is March 11th.

The Solar Return is when the Sun 'returns' to the same degree and minute it was when you were born. So that could be a day earlier or a day later, depending on your residence (location) today, which is likely different than where you were born.

Some people will choose to go on a vacation on their birthday to change their location for their Solar Return and the Astrologer will calculate that location, but I do not agree with that method. It's not the Truth. You can't fool or trick the Universe. The Truth is it's a vacation, and you will still have to return back home to your Life, to your mortgage, your bills, your relationships, your neighbors, your job and dot dot dot.

In the Solar Return, each house represents one month. There are 12 houses, there are 12 months.

I advise you to get your Solar Return 'at least' three (3) months before you birthday, simple because the planets could already be coming into the 'orb of influence' and you would be feeling the energy.

For instance, Venus moves into Pisces today impacting all birthdays from today until April 5, 2024. Those of you with birthdays between today and April 5th will already in this Venus in Pisces energy. You need to know this, especially since Venus rules both Love and money.

So there ya' go. So I will take a chart writing break during June, July and August 2024, and if I get to the place that I want to be earlier, then I will start that break even earlier, which would be sometime in May 2024.
