I welcome sharing my writing, links, quotes and Astro Memes,
but copying and passing off my work as ones own, is plagarism!
Big difference!

The BIG NEWS today is the Sun moves into Virgo, the Sun Quincunxes Pluto, and Venus squares Mars. Notice there are no lunar (Moon) aspects today, although midday we will start feeling the Moon sextile Jupiter, which hits exact at 12:05 AM EDT tomorrow morning because lunar aspects have a 12 to 14 hour 'orb of influence' on either side of exactness, which means the rest of the U.S. time zones will experience the exactness this evening in their time zones, 11:05 PM CDT, 10:05 PM MDT, 9:05 PM PDT, 8:05 PM Alaska and 6:05 PM Hawaii. See how that works?

So it is important to look at the next days aspects to see if an aspect is hitting exact in your time zone the day before because I write everything on this website in Eastern time. I have to choose a time zone, so I choose New York and Washington D.C. time zone. Those on the other side of the Ocean are anywhere from a handful of hours ahead of the U.S. to already being in our tomorrow.

Back to the Sun in Virgo, which is the sign of the 'expert' and the 'specialist'. Imagine a team of twelve (12) players, each with special gifts. Virgo is the sign on the team that analyzes and gathers details. Heck, someone has to do it, right? Someone has to think so granular and molecular so that no one gets injured, goes bankrupt or worse, dies! If you can just remember that last sentence then you will understand the mind of a Virgo. Think of your chart and what planets and what houses are ruled by Virgo. I am a North Node Virgo. Even if you are not a Virgo, you still have Virgo in your chart where you are granular and molecular.

Virgo rules the 6th house of ADLs (activities of daily living), physical health, nutrition, the daily regimen, the daily grind, daily habits like brushing your teeth, getting dressed and work ethic. Virgo rules professions where exacting details matter like - doctors, healthcare, inspectors, scientists, bookkeepers, and accountants. Hence the sentence I said to remember - "Someone has to think so granular and molecular so that no one gets injured, goes bankrupt or worse, dies!"

And folks, let's not assume that the numbers are not still counted and calculated. Just remember this, okay? All of the numbers are still NOT in. We are in Virgo Seasn and Virgo is back at it. We are talking about exacting number again. Virgo CANNOT and WILL NOT leave numbers uncounted. A penny is missing for God's sake. Virgo's are accountants, tabulators, bookkeepers, actuaries and statisticians. IT AIN'T OVER. Ya' get me?

Virgo is the sign of the 'expert' and the 'specialist'. They 'have to be' right. Virgo has a need to be right, not for their ego or because they need to flex some sort of super-natural intellectual prowess, but Virgo has a need to be right because someone could get injured, go bankrupt or die! And what if you need to go to court? Well, Virgo took detailed notes. Every organization has a 'secretary'. That's Virgo! Read more about Virgo by clicking the Astro Meme below.

The Sun in Virgo will quincunx Pluto in Aquarius. Just 30 more degrees forward or backward and this aspect would have been a trine or an opposition, but alas, it's a Quincunx, which is weird and uncomfortable energy that requires a change or adjustment on your part. It's like picking the underwear out of your intergluteal cleft (booty crack). I like throwing those little word details at you because I'M A NORTH NODE VIRGO! Anyway, once you pick the underwear out of your crack, making that little adjustment, then all is right in your world. But geez, until you do, the energy (feeling) is weird and uncomfortable.

So the Sun Quincunx Pluto wants you to integrate your personal power. I could have easily put Spiderman on that Astro Meme shooting spider silk out of his wrists. That's one of his personal powers. Spider silk can be as strong as steel with elasticity like rubber. Think of your personal power like that. Everyone has personal power. When God was handing out personal power gifts, He didn't give everyone a gift and just leave you out. Hey, some kids just don't play with all their toys. Perhaps you are not playing with all your toys. Hmmmmmm?

Maybe you are busy trying to be something you are not, and overly concerned whether everyone likes you or not, so you hide your Light (gifts) under a bushel. Maybe if you were more about impressing God than people then you might play with all of your toys (gifts).

I once saw on a church sign this statement, "What would you do 'in the Name of God' if you knew you could not fail?" Start with your North Node because the North Node is where your cup runneth over and where you cannot fail. The South Node is the bottomless pit. Did you know there is a North and South Node Calendar on this website? It's been there for probably twenty (20) or so years. All calendars are listed in the left side navigation column.

Also exact today is Venus in Virgo squaring Mars in Gemini. Remember, Mars is still squaring Jupiter, which hits the ground running. Oh Geez, this could be problematic in relationships where one person (or both) feels like grabbing the keys and hightailing it out of there. Mars in Gemini by itself is not rude, it's just an aggressive communicator, but when bound in a square or opposition it 'can be' incredibly rude. Virgo and Gemini are both ruled by Mercury, which is retrograde right now, so communication is at a low level, almost juvenile. No, it is juvenile.

Mars is the natural ruler of Aries (the competitive one) and the ancient ruler of Scorpio (paybacks are hell). Scorpio rules sex and Venus rules Love. Few people are having sex with this aspect around, in fact, sex is being used as a weapon in order to get what someone wants or in order to make a point. This aspect has couples trying to beat each other at their own game. It can also be a very dangerous game if you want to stoop to competition and win at all costs.

Venus Square Mars uses sex as a weapon to fool someone, trick someone or abuse someone. Mind games are also present because Mercury rules the mind, and Mercury rules both Virgo and Gemini, who are the players in this aspect. Mars is the competitive planet, so there ya' go, MIND GAMES! Someone is tricking someone to believe they are pregnant, having an affair, threatening, or abusing someone physically with sex or mentally. This is very ugly energy. And then there is the aspect of, "I'm gonna" from yesterday, which morphs this into veiled or serious threats.

Communication between the two (2) communicator planets is like talking to a wall. You may as well walk over to a wall and start talking to it. It's like talking to your partner while they can't take their eyes off the TV, computer or phone while they play games.

Think of it this way, it's better that you are NOT talking during these energies. Words hurt. Words cannot be taken back. You can apologize and I say, "I take it back", but once the jury (individual) hears it, you really can't take it back. So if communication is hard during the square of Virgo and Gemini (the communicators of Mercury), then just shut the hell up!! Silence is your friend. Silence is your best friend now. It's better not to talk right now and just go through the motions of daily living.

And DO NOT use social media against your partner, sharing with the world your problems, pitting friends against each other. That can be seen as an incredible act of betrayal sharing such private matters. Take a page out of JLo's playbook. She shared intimate letters and emails from Ben, which is heavy duty betrayal from one Leo to another. Day-yam! She broke all of the loyalty rules.

For Heaven's sake, before you send your partner off packing or threaten to cheat, chill the F down!!! What? Are you five (5)? Are you gonna take your toys and go home, or runaway. CHILL! GROW UP! SLOW DOWN!

Venus square Mars will last in the 'orb of influence' until September 5, 2024. You are already halfway through it since this aspect began on August 9, 2024. You are almost at the other end of this aspect. There is no sense in throwing away everything during this short period of time. Just quietly stay away from each other and co-exist until you can come back together in peace.

RED FONT ADDENDUM - Now politically, get ready because you will see this energy tearing, ripping, stretching and wringing apart the Democratic party.

Remember, I said this was a crummy, cruddy and crazy week. Maybe not in those words. I just researched back to Monday, August 19, 2024 and what I really said was, "Folks, it's just a sh!tty week, which pretty much kicks off the welcoming committee to the re-entry of Pluto in Capricorn from September 1, 2024 until November 19, 2024, kicking off 'the fall, in the Fall, and the fallout'."

I know, I know, they are heavy in 'Operation Mockingbird' with the words 'hope and joy'. The rinse is coming. Just hold on.

Saturn rules the Democratic Party. Jupiter rules the Republican Party. Currently, Saturn is in Pisces and Jupiter is in Gemini, as well as Mars in Gemini. The parties in an of themselves are both corrupt as hell, but right now, we have to align with one of them, just for now.

Both parties will be gutted. GUTTED! I have written to you before, both of these parties will be so gutted that they will be non-existent. POOF! GONE! Nothing remaining but maybe a handful of people, but the parties will be gone. You are witnessing the demise of one of those parties this week and the other will follow.

Even though I am wildly posting on FB about my position (on my personal page), I am actually pretty calm 'IRL' (in real Life) about the outcome, because I am an Astrologer. One could say because I am conservative that I am writing the way I am writing, and that could be, but I don't think so. I wouldn't be able to stand it if I were 'left' and had to write about the outcome. I think I would be too embarrassed for my position to write about politics if I were 'left'. I'm just being honest. I have no problem being honest. I think my ego would have me just writing Daily Horoscopes without world events involved at all and dodging politics like rotten eggs on a spoon.

Saturn in Pisces is going to last until February 13, 2026. Am I suppose to tell you that it's NOT going to last that long? Am I supposed to tell you that Saturn does not rule the Democratic Party just to save your political favorings and feelings? I don't think so. There are plenty of other places for you to get that kind of candy. Am I suppose to tell you that Pluto is not in Aquarius (aborting babies publicly) at the DNC? Am I suppose to tell you that Pluto is not moving back into Capricorn on September 1, 2024 until November 19, 2024 and shaking the mountain of those at the top?

There are people with 2024 Solar Returns with birthdates on or around May 18, 2024 who are going to throw all of that awesome energy away because their ego cannot handle the Sun conjunct Jupiter and all of the other planetary energies surrounding that date because they can't handle the abundance. Psychologically, deep down inside, they cannot handle it because the self-worth isn't there to handle it, so they throw it away.

At the same time, there are people with with 2024 Solar Returns with birthdates on or around August 19, 2024 who have these cruddy aspects present who have been paying attention all year, preparing their mind and Life to handle these energies and laid the groundwork. And they WILL be successful because they saw the detours, landmines and issues ahead, so they plotted their route ahead of traveling this Solar Return. They know where the stop signs are ahead.

And so goes politics. Everything is ruled by planets and signs. Everything. Not just you and your boyfriend or girlfriend, spouse or boss.

**Note - you can click on these Astro Memes to read more. For now, keep reading below as there is more.

The planets tell us that Saturn is in Pisces and Jupiter is in Gemini. Saturn restricts and Jupiter EXPANDS. Saturn shrinks and Jupiter INFLATES. Have you even read the Saturn in Pisces write-up? This is major poverty and homelessness folks. It's major! And guess who is in office in Washington, D.C., 6-pack joe, that's 666iden and cabala harris. I can't make this up. Surely you know that is who was 'installed' in office and who is responsible for the last 3-1/2 years. Even you can only go so far in Life still blaming your parents for how you turned out. Sooner or later you have to take responsibility.

Saturn moved into Pisces on March 7, 2023 and will last until February 23, 2026. LOOK AT THAT! Saturn didn't even move into Pisces until March 7, 2023!!! There was time to prepare for this. Halfway through the 666iden-harris administration they didn't handle it, at all. It's been a FREE-for all. FREE! Even for those who do not even have citizenship in this country. Homelessness is at an all-time-high, Saturn in Pisces. Poverty at an all-time-high, Saturn in Pisces. And now we just find out, the jobs number has been faked. Holy Mother of God! Oh Geez! But see people know this without a jobs number. We know what we are paying and we know how our friends and family are doing. Don't we? Don't you?

I don't want to dive too much into Saturn in Pisces when you can go read it, there is no need in me beating a subject to death that might be dead to an individual who refuses to be informed, schooled, taught, learned or even aware. Maybe you just want to know the astrology about your boyfriend, boss or spouse. GEEZ!

Someone on FB yesterday made the comment 'hiding in plain sight' and I responded with something to the effect of, "That's right! Saturn in Pisces". And then posted the picture of 'Hiding in Plain Sign' (Saturn in Pisces).

I will stop here because I could write forever and I see time is getting away from me. There is only so much I can do to teach those who want to be taught and teach those who think they want to be taught. You can still be Democrat or Republican or somewhere in-between. Be whatever you want, but also know that the planets are NOT going to change for you. They are where they are and rule what they do.

Saturn rules the Democratic Party and Jupiter rules the Republican Party. Neptune rules communism, of course it does because it's a FREAKIN' ILLUSION to everyone they are trying to fool, including the world. Equality for everyone, same everything (like prices) means you are a damn minion, peasant, and low on the totem pole. You bet your ass communism is equality. You better think twice before you start throwing around million dollar words like equality.

It doesn't take an astrological genius to know that Aquarius rules 'socialism'. Aquarius is THE MOST friendly and social sign of the zodiac. Aquarius is a people person. Aquarius is the humanitarian and a natural altruistic individual without even trying. But get this, Aquarius is MORE conservative than liberal. WHAT?!?! Aquarian's would like to think they are liberal by today's standards, but alas, Aquarius is the 'classic liberal' in the old school sense, which is what conservative is now, or maybe even more libertarian, or a cross between. Aquarius is NOT socialism, communism, and me work while you lay on your ass and eat.

Aquarius does not take kindly to lazy individuals. AT ALL! You see folks, before Uranus was discovered on March 13, 1781, Aquarius was ruled by Saturn, which is the natural ruler of Capricorn. So Saturn is the co-ruler and ancient ruler of Aquarius. Saturn is the disciplinarian, the worker-bee, the serious one and the taskmaster. Aquarius is friendly and nice, but you better show up for work and on time. Aquarius will help you help yourself, but Aquarius is not doing everything while you do nothing. GET YOUR ASS OUT OR GO HOME TO MAMA IF YOU WANT FREE!

This brings me to Pluto in Aquarius, which we are in right now for the second short period of time before we enjoy a 20 year stretch until 2044. On September 1, 2024 until November 19, 2024 Pluto will re-enter Capricorn under retrograde status and throw the higher-ups off the mountain at 29 degrees. The fall, in the Fall, and the fallout. Then Pluto moves back into Aquarius for the 3rd and final time in our Lifetime until 2044. 20 years! That's an entire generation. Pluto transforms under the guise of Aquarius, the 'classic liberal', which is more conservative than I work and you eat for free, or better yet, eat off my damn plate! That's a great way to get a fork in the back of your hand if you take take take from Aquarius's plate and don't work.

So folks, you can pump your fist for the Democratic Party all you want. Go ahead. But astrologically speaking, passing out freebies spells bankruptcy. Spending friviously spells bankruptcy. Giving and getting nothing in return spells bankruptcy. Housing others without getting rent money spells bankruptcy.

Live and learn folks. NEWSFLASH! Under Pluto in Aquarius, people have to work and some just don't like the thought of that. It hurts their eyes to look at work, much less do it. So, here we go!
