Kicking off this IMPORTANT DAY, which includes Pluto turning Retrograde (Rx) at 2:38 PM EDT and Mercury moving into Gemini at 6:23 PM EDT, we need to take some deep dives into the BIG picture.

Below is the massively BIG write-up that I told you about on FB. In red below this write-up is the post I made on FB telling you this BIG write-up was coming. I'm pasting that post below since not everyone is on Fakebook. In this way you can see that I gave you a head's-up of what was to come.

Also, if you go to my personal page on Fakebook, which is @DrLorettaStandley you will see that I post there A LOT! Several times a day. I can see that many are responding to my posts 2 - 3 days after I make the post. For this reason you may want to click the notifications so that you are notified when I post, as well as follow-up on going straight to my page since Fakebook has been known to send some accounts to the bottom of the barrel so that they do not get as much traffic, sight, engagement, or 'Facetime'. Asses!!!

If you just want my my Astrology page on Fakebook, here it is. The other FB page above has all of my political crazy on it.

Remember the aspect yesterday - Mercury trine Pluto, which should have you scurrying, digging, rooting around, probing and researching your own chart. I can't tell you how much I will not be tip-toeing through anyone's emotions in the write-up below. I have a job on this planet to do, and I'm gonna do it!

Mercury trined Pluto yesterday, which began in applying degrees on April 22, 2022, it was exact yesterday, and will last in separating degrees until May 7, 2022. THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME to dig through your chart and find some important Goodies. And if I wrote your chart, the Goodies are there!

Here is the BIG WRITE-UP FOR TODAY . . . As stated back on Thursday - April 21, 2022, we are sitting at the tail-end of Pluto in Capricorn, which is literally blowing its lid. Pluto is like a volcano spewing hot lava, fire and hell. Pluto is hell. Pluto is hell on earth. Pluto is scorched earth. Pluto is set on destruction, but the promise is reconstruction. Pluto destroys, only to rebuild, and then realizes a full-blown transformation. Full-blown transformations do not occur without destruction. The Phoenix-Rising!

When new soldiers go through basic training, they are literally stripped of themselves and rebuilt into human military machines. Transformation! I could give a million examples of how things need to be torn down and rebuilt in order to transform. Layer, upon layer, upon layer is not a transformation. We see that in the beauty business now. Layering on make-up is not a transformation. It's a costume! Nothing is changed underneath. You can Spanx yourself two (2) sizes smaller and tell yourself whatever you like, but Spanx is not a transformation. It's a costume! I think you get the picture.

Pluto is hellashish and manipulative and will do whatever it takes to change the scenery to realize a full-blown transformation, but do not be so naive and immature in your understanding. Pluto has a super-dark side that will takeover and spillover without your consent if you are not wise to its ways. Next thing you know you will have been dooped, fooled, tricked, manipulated, suckered, groomed, exploited and controlled.

Do I really need to remind you that Pluto rules - the netherworld, the underworld, hades, the underbelly, the trenches, puke, stench, pus, foul odors, semen, the tunnels where rats live, feces, anus, rectum, grotesque, monsters, satan, evil forces, dark spirits, hate and the like. Do I need to keep going with these words or do you read them loud and clear?

Pluto is STILL in Capricorn until November 18, 2024. He will move out of Capricorn into Aquarius on March 23, 2023 but will Retrograde and re-enter Capricorn on June 11, 2023 until January 20, 2024 where Pluto will then re-enter Aquarius and experience another Retrograde and re-enter Capricorn for the last time on September 1, 2024 until November 18, 2024. Then Pluto will remain in Aquarius until January 19, 2044.

In order for you to get a real hard and up close look at Pluto's capabilities at destruction and reconstruction, think back to 9/11 and what that day looked like. Pluto was in Sagittarius (the foreigners), which was the era of the terrorists. Who could forget that day? Who could have ever imagined in their wildest dreams that the Twin Towers would have fell, the Pentagon would have been hit, another plane barrels into a field in Pennsylvania with absolutely no remnants left behind. Did we even see bits of a plane at the Pentagon? If I had not seen with my own eyes on LIVE TV that second plane slide into that second tower like a video tape slides into a VCR, I don't think I could have wrapped my brain around what that looked like. But I saw it!

Now I will ask you this . . . knowing what Pluto in Sagittarius looked like, do you think we have even come close to seeing what Pluto in Capricorn looks like full-throttle pressed down and running over? Do you think we have yet to see the likes of Pluto in Capricorn expressed as harshly as Pluto in Sagittarius? I think not!

Without regurgitating the Pluto in Capricorn write-up, go back and read it again and use your own imagination when you see MILITARY, CEO's, AUTHORITY FIGURES, etc. I have not added much or followed-up on that page since I wrote it back in October 2008 because I want it to stand on its own merit.

NOW HERE'S THE MEAT . . . I want you to keep this important piece of the puzzle in mind, when a planet gets to 29 degrees we call it a Karmic Degree, or the 29th Degree, or the Anaretic Degree. If I wrote your Expansive Natal Chart and you have an Anaretic Degree, then I included that information in your chart and gave you guidance as to what it means, and what to do about it. And even if you 'do not' have an Anaretic Degree in your chart, I still included a page on Anaretic Degrees to teach you about them. Look in your 'Chart Configurations and Graphics' file and you will see it. It's an entire page. And if you have a planet at 29 degrees, then I specifically wrote about that planet at 29 degrees in your chart and gave you instruction of what you need to work on. Hey, I'm a North Node Virgo, I like details in the charts I write. [Keep reading . . . ]

Fri. Apr. 29, 2022 Pluto turns Retrograde Exact on Apr. 29, 2022 at 2:38 PM EDT Until October 8, 2022

Fri. Apr. 29, 2022 Mercury moves into Gemini Enters on Apr. 29, 2022 at 6:23 PM EDT Until Sunday - May 22, 2022

So here is the nutshell on Anaretic Degrees, when a planet is at 29 degrees, then it is in its final degree. When it reaches 29 degrees 59 minutes 59 seconds and that last second ticks by bringing it through its full 30 degrees, then that my dear little astrotators is when MASTERY OR FULFILLMENT is reached (or should be reached). Yep, that means if you have a 29th degree in your chart, then you are at a mastery or fulfillment level.

That 29th degree will challenge you and require you to level-up. It may take you a few times to 'get, the get' from the School of Hard Knocks, but it will eventually sink in on what needs to change. It's like the law student who has to take the bar a couple of times before passing and then they become a famous lawyer, or they become famous and stop practicing law.

The 29th degree, in any planet, in any sign, will rattle your cage and challenge you to become all that you were meant to be in order for you to handle what is to come. What you will find out from looking at any 29 degree planets is if you have not been handling it very well and you better straighten your ass up! Your first clue Sherlock is when you keep blaming everyone else for who you are, or who you aren't yet, and claim others are picking on you, or judging you. GOOD GRIEF! PLEASE! JUST STOP!

We have 2-1/2 years left of Pluto in Capricorn ending on November 18, 2024. Pluto turns Retrograde today on April 29, 2022 taking us backward in degrees from 28 degrees 35 minutes to 26 degrees 06 minutes, which means it is taking us back to the last time Pluto was in Capricorn at 26 degrees 06 minutes, which was on January 6, 2022. Ohhhhh, exactly one (1) year from the infamous January 6th, 2021. As I have written to you before, I wonder if January 6th will become our NEW July 4th. It's just a thought.

This year . . . Pluto Retrograde begins on April 29, 2022 at 28 degrees 35 minutes and ends on October 9, 2022 at 26 degrees 06 minutes, which is where it was last on January 6, 2022. What were you doing on January 6, 2022 that Pluto is taking you back to that date? What do you have to correct before progressing forward? Check your social media, your calendars, your phone calls, your text messages, your financial accounts and statements.

My suspicion about that date in our history, as a country, (January 6, 2021) is that new and enlightening information will be coming out about what REALLY happened on that day instead of what you have been told to believe. Get ready to have your world rocked on Truth! Yeah, I know, you saw what you saw on TV. I get it. Remember folks, Pluto rules hell, the netherworld, the underworld, satan and evil forces. Surely you have run into devilish people in your Life. Aye?

Surely you known in your Life certain people who are capable of doing dastardly things in order reach their intended goal(s). Maybe you have partaken in dastardly things yourself at one point or another in your Life, only on a smaller scale.

Pluto is betrayal, immorality, abortions, abnormalities, killing, murder, depravity, casualities, dictators, decomposition and knows no boundaries in its carnage and wake. Remember - pus, puke, semen, feces, rats, grotesque, monsters, etc.

Throughout my writings since October 2008 when Pluto in Capricorn began, every once in a while I would type out . . . You ain't seen nuttin' yet. And you still haven't. YOU STILL HAVEN'T? Have you seen anything like 9/11 yet? You just think you have. On 9/11/01 we were all going about our day. I was getting ready to go to the PGA golf tournament. Who would have thought the carnage on that day? Who would have thought? Well, evil people thought, THAT'S WHO! That evil production was part of Pluto in Sagittarius.

Now I'm going to write something that is going to piss off a lot of people, but need I remind you, "The chart doesn't lie, only the mouth does."

Keep in mind the Anaretic Degree is the 29th degree or the Karmic Degree. It is mastery or fulfillment and finishes the job. This is NOT to say that mastery and mastering the situation is always a Good thing. That 29th degree brings something into full blown transformation and expression. Even Judas was brought into full-blown manifestation and expression on his job. Remember, Jesus told Judas, "What you are about to do, do quickly." ~John 13:27

As these planets grow from 00 degrees 00 minutes 01 second up through 29 degrees 59 minutes 59 seconds, meaning from 00 degrees to the fullness of 30 degrees, they pick up energy just like a locomotive.

Imagine if you will, Pluto in Capricorn picking up speed in its full expression. And here we are today at 28 degrees 35 minutes. Oh we are so close to the end of Pluto in Capricorn and the full blown transformation, but today we start heading backward in degrees for another lesson before progressing forward.

Now keep in mind folks, some of us are moving forward in growth and progress even as Retrograde planets turn backward in degrees for a do-over. And also keep in mind, there are some who are on a different path with different intentions. The goal of some is mastery in a hellashish, deceptive and manipulative way.

There are many reasons why I have written many times that '6arack o6ama' would go down in history as the worst president in U.S. history, but wow, 6iden is running a pretty close second. I say "second" because we do not have all of the information on 'o6ama' which I believe soon, we will. Did you know the election of November 4, 2008 Pluto was in Sagittarius at 29 degrees? It was in its fulfillment, full expression. I believe '6arack o6ama' was in the same position as Judas. "What you are about to do, do quickly." ~John 13:27

I believe the wheels were set into motion (as planned) for him to run in 2008 way back in 2001 when 9/11 occurred. I believe it was after his second daughter was born that the full wheels began spinning when he was a State Senator and not yet a U.S. Senator. He was deliberately placed on the fast track.

Pluto was at 12 degrees at that time in 2001, which was trine to his Sun in Leo at 12 degrees. When he was elected in 2008, which we may eventually see a problem with that, the South Node was in Leo at 12 degrees, the Sun was in Scorpio at 12 degrees squaring the South Node in Leo. His Sun in Leo was dropping directly into the South Node in Leo at 12 degrees. And get this . . . Pluto in Sagittarius was in its fulfillment (mastery). Ahhhhh, the plan was complete, he made it to the presidency. His presidency was a hellhole that we are still unraveling, which I believe during this Pluto in Capricorn and its fulfillment or full expression. We will see the full story as Pluto in Capricorn will bring the fall of government officials, celebrities, etc.

Read the Pluto in Capricorn write-up, which I wrote in October 2008 just before the 2008 election.

Now let's turn our eyes to ourselves. During the entire time Pluto has been in Capricorn, the three (3) signs getting hit the hardest, actually I should say four (4) signs are - Capricorn, Aries, Cancer and Libra.

This is because Capricorn and Cancer are opposite signs.

Capricorn squares Aries.

Capricorn squares Libra.

Aries and Libra are opposite signs.

So you see, the Cardinal signs have been getting their ass kicked and teeth kicked in. They square and oppose each other.

Pluto is a very slow moving planet, which during this transit is taking 16 years to complete itself from 2008 until 2024. So it will stay at a certain degree for weeks! And if you are a Capricorn, Aries, Cancer or Libra, then you will feel that punch in the gut and in the face until Pluto moves out of applying, exact and separating degrees.

Squares are within an 08 degree orb and oppositions and conjunctions are within a 10 degree orb. So to move 08 to 10 degrees could take a handful of years as Pluto retrogrades every year for 4 or 5 months and slaps you around AGAIN! This means Pluto in Capricorn has been slapping around Capricorn, Aries, Cancer and Libra FOR YEARS!

Now we are nearing its fulfillment (29 degrees). Some of you will MASTER this energy and some of you will simply come into fulfillment, which I believe that is what '6arack o6ama' did, much like Judas. He played his role.

If you have a 29 degree planet, you are at mastery level and being called to MASTER that energy. If you are dealing with this energy as a transit in the Solar Return you are in a state of fulfillment or full expression.

Now here is the problem with Capricorn, Aries, Libra and Cancer. Capricorn is negative, pessimistic, skeptical and the 'Doubting Thomas' of the zodiac. Hey, someone has to play that role and it's Capricorn. This sign is so serious that it's hard to have a fun conversation. Hey, I'm a Moon and Saturn in Capricorn, I'm as serious as a heart-attack, but thank God he gave me a Jupiter in Aquarius (insanely optimistic) to lighten me up and also gave me a Sun in Gemini to keep me flirty, fiesty and fun.

Aries is the game player. Aries is competitive, wants to be first and is completely self-absorbed. Me, me, me! Enough about me. What do you think of me? Aries isn't thinking of you, Aries is thinking of itself, so much so that it directs your attention back to them. Somehow, someway, Aries will dial you back toward the subject about them and now you are talking about them again. You aren't talking about what you were talking about anymore, the subject matter is the person.

Cancer is the emotional one, who takes everything personal. Maybe you are telling a story about something at work and the Cancer will say, "I don't do that" and you might respond, "I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about work." And then the Cancer snaps, "WELL, I don't do that!" Arrggghhhh! It's irritating and then you respond, "I wasn't even talking about you!" And then the Cancer says again, "WELL, I'm just sayin', I don't do that!" It's emotional overload.

Libra is the judge. Libra throws down their gavel and judges everyone, and then says, "Stop judging me" or claims that people are always judging them when they are the one judging people who 'they think' is judging. It's maddening. Libra is judgmental as the day is long, which is displaying an overcritical point of view of others. People this and people that! Judgment is unattractive folks! No one wears it well no matter how great you think you look.

I 'had' a Libra friend who claimed women were intimidated by her and the Truth was, she was judgmental and gossiped and that's why women did not want to be around her as much as she thought. If I were to meet a new friend of hers (let's say at a party) she would tell me that individual's personal business, secrets, shames and all. Now see that's really an enemy that you keep close, and not a friend you keep close. I was never going to let her in as close as she thought. No way in hell (Pluto) was I letting her get closer than the distance I gave her.

The two (2) signs that gossip and get up in people's personal business the most is Cancer and Libra. Folks, I'm not telling you this so you can turn judgmental on others. I'm telling you this so you can look at your Natal Chart and straighten your ass up. Stop with the judgie-wudgie. Maybe you care more about what others think, than you think.

I am strongly advising you to look at your chart and locate your North and South Node so you can look these character traits in the mouth and get the stink out.

If you have a Moon or Rising Sign, check out the degrees and get a Good look at yourself. Know yourself well so you can grow through these character traits and live out the best they have to offer instead of the worst that they have to offer. You get to choose. You really do. Judas did not have to say, "Oh sure, I'll betray the Son of Man for 30 silver coins." No one makes you bad or mad, you allow it, you churn it, you marinate in it, you choose it, you decide and you live it.

If you have any planets in Capricorn, Aries, Cancer or Libra, then those planets have been living out the conjunction, squares or oppositions since November 2008. If you have planets or Nodes in Capricorn, Aries, Cancer or Libra, then you have been feeling these hard energies. It's not up to us to clear your path, it's up to you to clear your path. Stop putting your earth work on others. Do your own work! The work does not have to be difficult, you choose how you will move through these energies. Choose - drama by sliding off the roads, or slow and easy gets you there safely.

If you have planets at an Anaretic Degree aka Karmic Degree or 29th Degree (same thing) then I wrote about it in your Expansive Natal Chart. I wrote an entire page and included the planets at 29 degrees. Even if you have no planets at 29 degrees, I still included the information on Anaretic Degrees. Your charts are thorough!

So if you have been wondering why you have been getting an ass-kicking in a certain house in your chart for quite a while, it could be that Pluto in Capricorn has been wreaking havoc in one or more of the Cardinal Signs (Capricorn, Aries, Cancer, Libra) and you still have not learned your lesson. Maybe you have not yet realized the bouncing of planets at certain angles is demanding and requiring that you get your shit together and stop blaming others for your existence, choices, path, etc.

And if you don't care what others think, then for God's sake, STOP CARING WHAT OTHERS THINK! In my world I call that judgie-wudgie. They, people, them, others think, if people would just stop, I, I, I, people always. OH MY GOSH!

And I will just add here . . . no cares what others think more than Libra and Cancer (the gossip signs). OUCHY! MOM MAKE HER STOP!

So as we meander backward with Pluto Retrograde from 28 degrees 35 minutes today, all the way back to 26 degrees 06 minutes where it was last on January 6, 2022, study yourself folks. Look at YOUR SELF! So you can get out of the hole before Pluto comes into his fulfillment at 29 degrees.

When a planet is growing in strength, there is a lot of energy there for you to use in any way you see fit. Jesus or Judas? Energies always have positive and negative paths.

And while you are figuring yourself out, please note that the world is figuring itself out as well. Everything has a Sun Sign and planetary rulership. Not just your birthday. So while you are unraveling your chart, the world unravels as well. Gosh there is so much to write but my arms are getting tired.

Keep in mind, Mercury moves into Gemini tonight at 6:23 PM EDT and involves a Retrograde. Click the Astro Meme above to read more.

The following in red was what I posted on Astrology FB page this morning regarding the above BIG WRITE-UP . . . 1st Post Today - Friday, April 29, 2022 -- I'm going to pull some band-aids off this morning, so depending on how 'sensitive' you are, this will either hurt your pretty little feelings, or it will hurt so Good. There is no better time to address this than today when Pluto turns Retrograde (Rx) and Mercury moves into Gemini, with a Moon in Aries (new beginnings).

And by 'sensitive', I mean as a sentient being, as in one who feels.

If as a sentient being, you channel your senses 'emotionally' this will probably hurt and I can tell you from my Capricorn Moon .... I will not coddle or cater to your hurt feelings. Look up coddle so you know exactly what I mean. If as a sentient being, you channel your senses 'intuitively' this will probably hurt so Good and you will welcome the challenge. Then you will be saying, "Ah-ha" of which I mean in the spiritual sense with the "Ahhhh and Haaaa".

Folks, I choose my words deliberately for maximum and intentional impact.

Ahhhhhh = God, Amen, Yahweh, Jehovah and Ha = in yoga and in Sanskrit it means Supreme Being.

I come to you from deeper places and more profound thought than your human delicate feelings. I don't sit in 'poor me' or relate to that AT ALL. In other words, its just not within me to hang back and sit with your injured hurt feelings because I come from a deeper place. I can't relate to "poor me". Even something as simple as the words "Ah-ha" have special and deeper significance to me. I'm not trivial or trite.

In any case, what I write you will feel it. How you choose to feel it is entirely up to you, but my intention comes from a place deeper and more profound.

If you want deep, I'm your gal. If you want to be coddled and nurtured to fit your own story, there are plenty of astrologers who will do that for you. I'm not one of them.

Eggshell walking is not something I even want to do well. Read that line again because I mean that. I crunch and crush eggshells and spread them in 'my garden'. I say that intentionally, "my garden", meaning my Life. I'm all about growth. Go ahead, research what eggshells do for a garden. Folks, there is nothing about my words that are trivial or trite.

If you get hurt and hung up on my words, I assure you, that is 'not' my intention ..... but I can tell you this, I will already be way down the road and leave you behind while you bandage yourself and call attention to your hurt self. I'm all about quick growth and getting to the place that I want to be f-a-s-t, and if you are a client of mine and I'm reading for you, then I hold the same intention for you, even if it hurts.

I will even warn you in a phone reading if I'm getting ready to pull a 2 x 4 out of my back pocket, so you can brace yourself. Oh that hurt so Good! (winky wink)

Having said that, some will be left behind as we all move forward and the emotionally injured sit in poor-me-syndrome.

Nutshell? Grow a spine and catch-up quickly folks because these are challenging times and some of us are going to shoot through this energy like a cannonball blown out of a cannon and some will be in the same place 'emotionally' as always.

Either way, what I have to write about today in the Daily Horoscope is gonna leave a mark. There are three (3) signs that are going to get slapped with my 2x4 this morning that you will be able to look at your chart and see where the problem is ..... and has been for quite some time.

You better catch-up folks because these are very very ugly times and I will not play around as I'm moving on and moving forward trying to get my ass back Home.

Maybe you are simply trying to get your happy as back home here on the planet. I don't roll that way. I am always working on getting my ass back Home (capital 'H') to God.

I teach yoga at 9:30 AM EDT and 11:00 AM EDT .... if I do not get the Daily Horoscope finished by 9:30 AM EDT, I will get it posted after I teach.

And one more thing . . . . I'm on a mission from God. ~The Blues Brothers
