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 MARS! He is on double-duty today as he trines Uranus and opposes Saturn. Trines are Divine and oppositions prove to be the perfect balance or a tug-of-war. CHOOSE!

Now grab your pot of coffee and get comfortable because this is a long one. Keep in mind, there is a Full Moon in Leo tomorrow at 17 minutes, so if I write all about Mars trine Uranus and Mars opposing Saturn today, then I can just add the link back to today when I mention them tomorrow. (winky wink) So this is a long one, grab your pot of coffee.

Mars in Libra trines Uranus in Gemini (air signs), which is a motivational carrot that you may have already found yourself chasing as this aspect came into the 'orb of influence' back on July 23, 2025. Think of the time period before today as being that of the 'pace car', which warms up the race cars for several laps prior to the STARTING GUN. Today with this aspect being exact pretty much says, "GO!!!!!"

This 'motivational carrot' dangling in front of your face will cause you to move a little or a lot faster. What that 'motivational carrot' is for you remains to be seen. What is it that you need that will cause you to rise to the occasion?

Some of you will be 'pressed' into service, meaning you will be pressured, just like Simon of Cyrene, who was pressed into service and plucked right out of the crowd and told to help Jesus carry His Cross. Our crosses are tough to bear. They are heavy for us, much less for someone who really has no idea what we are carrying by the way we carry ourselves throughout the day. They don't know the whole story, right? Do you need to be pressured, threatened or frightened into doing what you need to do? Is that what it takes? For some people, it does.

Maybe you have a little fear factor motivating you to get creative, make some cold calls, sell the stuff you are not using, clean up your act, give-up that addictive habit and come clean.

Fri. August 8, 2025

There is a meme I shared on FB about six (6) months ago and it said, "I'd die for my family" then under that it said, "Cool. But would you be willing to be healthy for them?" What does motivation have to look like for you in order to get things accomplished, turn over a new leaf, or go for that thing you have been wanting to apply for, do or create?

This 'motivational carrot' can be anything, and it is most likely something Good and wonderful since this 'motivational carrot' is a trine.

Mars in Libra, which is socializing and wanting to connect with others. Uranus in Gemini mental, neurological, technical, brain and educational breakthroughs. Uranus is the innovator, the inventor and the idea person. Uranus carries the Light bulb that goes off above your head. Mars wants to couple up, connect, collaborate and join forces in order to make it happen.

This aspect has speed and determination locked into its mindset and is looking for action. It's ready to rumble. Mars likes a challenge, it is a competitor and willing participant. Mars yells out, "I'M GOIN' IN!" as it has willpower and the mindset to win. Mars in Libra (committed relationships) is also more willing to negotiate, talking things over and work things out.

Uranus is looking for change and when coupled-up with Mars, it will find it, even if it has to turn over the applecart to see what falls out.

Mars makes up his mind pretty fast because he is impulsive, so when coupled with Uranus, the decision is swift and final. You may suddenly decide to stop doing something that has zero pay-off for you. WHAT HAS ZERO PAY OFF FOR YOU?

Think about it because the thing that gives you anxiety, should give you relief when you finally give it up. Not everything deserves or needs more time spent on it just because you devoted so much time to it. Think next level. This is where you level up, not level down.

This is the perfect aspect to suddenly decide you are going to enjoy a healthier Lifestyle. It's bad enough that so many are going to be wearing an oxygen cannula and dragging around an oxygen tank as they get older because they simply will not stop smoking thinking it just won't happen to them. Well that's attractive!

If you have a family history of an illness, let's say 'Diabetes' (adult onset) then why in the world would you contribute to a Lifestyle that would support the same illness to manifest in yourself? How does that make sense? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!!!

Mars trine Uranus can cause you to change your mind in an instant (Uranus strike) and change your Lifestyle in a hot minute. All you have to do is decide. It's a decision folks. That's all. A decision. This aspect has so much willpower that it is a done deal once you make up your mind and choose 'change'. Change = Uranus. If you want someone in your Life to change so much and so bad, then how about you change something about you?

Even more, the New Moon in Virgo is coming up on Saturday, August 23, 2025 which IS THE BEST TIME to adopt and healthier Lifestyle and lose weight if you need to. At 2 lbs. per week you could lose 25 or 30 lbs. by Thanksgiving and start the New Year as a whole new person.

If you have an ambition, a goal, a target, intent or desire, then this is the time to go for it. Since there is so much energy associated with this trine, it can make you difficult to deal with because the energy is tough to contain. This energy is exuberant and just wants to bust loose out of the gate and WIN!

You will need to exercise some form of control, discipline and poise so that you do not injure yourself or aggravate an area of your body that needs support or strengthening simply because you are so excited and enthusiastic due to this aspect. If you need a knee or ankle support, then give that to yourself.

This aspect can easily cause you to operate as one who is out of control, rather than the one who is in-control if you do not treat this aspect in a way that it wants. It is a MOTIVATIONAL FORCE, not something that is to be treated like a weekend warrior who injures themselves being immature, over-zealous and careless.

Mars is an impulsive and decisive planet and Uranus operates as fast as lightning, so there ya' go. You want to make safe and smart decisions when you are so ramped up. This trine acts and reacts in an instant. BAM! This is the perfect trine to decide that you will change your Life. If you want to make a change or change it UP (directional), this is the trine to use.

At the same time, Mars opposes Saturn. This is testosterone energy revved up. Mars opposing Saturn can make men out of men 'again', but the immature, pompous, arrogant and bossy man may end up getting his ass kicked in more ways than one. So men will either level up, or level down. Testosterone is a Good thing, like estrogen, but too much of a Good thing isn't. So this aspect has to be handled with care and channelled rightly.

The OTHER BIG NEWS today is Mars in Virgo opposes Saturn in Pisces, which is the classic placement of 'daddy issues'. This aspect reveals there is either a problem getting along with the father or an authoritarian figure.

This aspect is known for pulling an individual in two (2) different directions as the individual attempts to put themselves out there and then gets yanked back by possibly feeling as though they are not Good enough. Maybe there is an attempt or unconscious desire of trying to live up to the father's expectations.

Well, I can tell you this, if you have a difficult dad, you will NOT get from what you want from daddy with this aspect. It isn't happening, so just let it go. Accept things as they are, and realize people for who they are and then remember, only you can change you in this scenario. Others have to change themselves. These difficult, disrespectful, hard to Love men are on their own path, as you are, making choices. So you make yours.

Under this aspect, you will NEVER get that admission you need, or the apology that is rightfully coming to you. This aspect has a BIG ASS EGO and cannot or will not admit wrongdoing. Remember, this is not only father figures, but those in a position of authority who are abusing their authority.

You are also going to see the direct opposite of these difficult men, who are Good protectors, providers and parents. They do exist, but you will have to open your eyes to see them because the difficult men are giving Good men a bad name.

This aspect will help you find the strength to express your own individual energy instead of searching for the approval from the one who will never give it, at least not the way you dream, want or need. Just stop already and accept an individual for who they are. If this is in your own personal world, it does not mean you put your stamp on it when you accept them for who they are. In means, enough is enough. Respect yourself enough to walk away, thereby not allowing yourself to be sucked into a world that is already so uncomfortable for you.

There is a lot of abuse and misuse of authority from authority figures that are GOING TO GET THEIR ASSES KICKED ALONG WITH THEIR TEETH KICKED IN, which we can see from Congress. Remember, Pluto in Aquarius is going to change the look of Congress and Parliament all over the world, not just the U.S.

Libra rules the 'scales of justice' and Saturn rules 'authority figures'. Mars opposing Saturn has a tendency of spawning unapologetic and abusive authority figures.

In your personal world, maybe you are looking for an apology. That isn't going to happen from a difficult ass of an authority figure. At the same time, well-meaning authority figures may be toughening you up, like the military (Saturn) is getting re-toughened back up and requirements are going to get ramped up.

You may get the sense that a man has simply moved on and that could very well be a Good thing, so that you can finally move on. Daddy or ex, this could be a very Good thing. Otherwise, you will be left holding on, and holding on, for what? What you holding on does is hold you back, and not necessarily 'the man' holding you back. You can blame 'the man', but either you are in control of your Life or not.

And I want to make one thing VERY VERY CLEAR here, this does not men women vs. men, this could very well be Good men who have bad dads and looking for some approval, Love or affirmation. This writing is not about women with horrible ex's. It's that too, but Mars opposing Saturn impacts EVERYONE! It's bad bosses, managers, authority figures and a lot of bad dads, ex's, husbands and former husbands.

Mars opposing Saturn may cause you to be assertive, while at others times you cannot be bothered because you are simply DONE. This may stem from childhood when a father figure restricted your independence. This energy most definitely represents oppression from the father, a father figure or an authority figure. Saturn restricts, limits and tightens his belt. But hey, it's your Life now, right? You say - who, what, when, where, why, how much and how long. That is YOUR decision.

There is not much more to say about this aspect because those who have "daddy issues" whether this man is alive, deceased, or who knows where he is, will find these issues pop up while this aspect is presenting itself.

This could very show up as how you treat others as a result of 'the man', which means the result is mischanneled anger.

Perhaps the one you thought would take your ill-directed and mis-directed heat, sh!t, and anger has decided they aren't taking it anymore. Now there are bigger problems as a result of holding onto something that is not yours or it is no longer present anymore. Folks, set this energy down, like you are setting down a heavy suitcase. Just set it down and walk on.

At the same time, there may be so much talk about 'daddy issues' that you may hear some heart-felt Loving stories about other dads. This can get the motor running for some people on what they missed out on and get that whole ugly conversation started and heat generated all over again. It's a tough aspect folks. It's real tough.
