The BIG NEWS today is Mars in Virgo quincunx Pluto in Aquarius and the Sun in Cancer squares Neptune in Aries.

Let's address Mars quincunx Pluto first. Mars is the planet of assertion and drive. Mars carries a lot of testosterone and reveals the degree of force that we use to go after what we want. Depending on the sign that Mars is in, it will tell us whether we are forceful and confrontational, or if we prefer to sit back and watch. It will also reveal what motivates us and what desires drive us most powerfully.

The quincunx of Mars and Pluto is rather odd because Pluto is the higher octave of Mars. So the second paragraph is the description of Mars, but if you ramp up that description to its higher octave, then it is volatile, explosive and dang near uncontainable or uncontrollable, which is Pluto.

A quincunx feels weird and uncomfortable which requires a change or adjustment on your part. It's like picking the underwear out of your intergluteal fold (booty crack). Once you make the adjustment, you feel better.

The detail on the chart wheel is a quincunx aspect has a 150 degree angle, which is 30 degrees more than a 120 degree trine (divine) and 30 degrees less than a 180 degree opposition (tug of war). Think of this quincunx as right in-between 120/150/180 - the 120 trine, 150 quincunx, 180 opposition. So if you are aware enough, you can lean the energy toward the trine or the opposition. It really just depends on how conscious, mindful and present you live your Life. How do you 'naturally' lean, toward the negative (opposition) or toward the positive (trine)? Keep reading . . .

Mars quincunx Pluto gets voted off the island first because he comes on too strong. Think of this aspect as just waltzing into a room and taking over. He didn't even introduce himself and simply assumed everyone knew who he was. He didn't socialize, shake anybody's hand and ask their name. Well, it came time vote, someone grew a pair and said, "Well, who the hell are you?" And that's how Mars quincunx Pluto becomes the first aspect to be voted off the island. Need I say more? Who will it be today?

So you can come in all friendly and "Howdy pardner" you want, but the people still want to know, "Who are you"? Before an individual walks into a room, the strategizing begins. Then introductions are made, names, histories and experience are shared, contacts are made and resources are collected. It's a competitiveness world out there in more ways than career, rank and status. For reasons you may not know or never know, competition is fierce and it won't take much to ignite a spark when Mars quincunx Pluto is present. One false move and BOOM, the first to go, is the first to go.

Next, the Sun in Cancer squares Neptune in Aries. Well Gemini's, this is the first year since 2011 that the Sun in Gemini is not squaring Neptune. Whew! As a Gemini myself, I'm tickled about it. Every year since 2011 the Sun in Gemini has been squaring Neptune in Pisces. Same goes for Sagittarius, but since 2012.

The Sun in Cancer square Neptune in Aries will hit exact every year from 2025 until 2037, although it will hit Capricorn's until 2039 due to winter retrogrades.

In the Astro Meme above, I use the image of an individual looking into the mirror muffin-topping trying to squeeze into a pair of jeans obviously too small. Before I go further, let go of any emotional knee-jerk reaction assuming this is body shaming. This image is a perfect example of an individual's illusion.

The Sun square Neptune has been pretty much resulted in a bloated belly for Geminis and Sagittarians since 2011. It hit the earlier degree Gemini's and Sagittarius's first, and then year after year, it hit every Gemini until this year. Although you can see above that this energy began in applying degrees back on June 15, 2025 which includes some Gemini's. RATS! Still, at least it is off of their exact degree.

Now since this aspect will hit Cancer's and Capricorn's each year from 2025 until 2037, every single Cancer and Capricorn will have to contend, wrestle, grapple and slapdown this beached whale aspect. The problem is the illusion (Neptune) when one looks in the mirror and they just don't see it. That's the problem. They feel it, but they don't see it. The problem is not seeing the bloated belly. It's not that one is looking in the mirror and seeing bloat or fatty tissue, it's the direct opposite. They aren't seeing it!

Neptune in Aries Transiting Degree Calendar

Neptune in Aries write-up Until March 23, 2039

You can look at the Neptune in Aries Transiting Degree Calendar and see what period of time it will hit you, as a Cancer or Capricorn. So if you know the degree of your Sun, and you see the degree of Neptune on the calendar, then that time period would have been you MOST BLOATED, muffin-top, and jelly belly time period.

Now to throw some fattening icing on the cake, keep in mind that squares have a 08 degree 'orb of influence' before and after its exactness. So you are a 00 degree or 01 degree Cancer (June 21 or 22) then you would have started feeling the belly boat at 08 degrees before and felt it 08 degrees after, which may cause you to feel like a beached whale for a couple of years from this year until this aspect moves off your Sun in 2028 when the Sun in Cancer is at 08 degrees squaring Neptune at 08 degrees. DRINK YOUR WATER AND FLUSH YOURSELF!

And worse, you look in the mirror and don't see reality due to the illusion of Neptune. Earlier degree Cancers and Sagittarians were hit with this aspect when it hit first in 2011. The problem is if you put on the weight during that time and don't take it off. The belly bloat can easily morph into fatty tissue when one does not CONSTANTLY take combative measures, and even at that, it's still hard to keep the inflated belly at bay.

The other thing is Jupiter is in Cancer too, which INFLATES AND EXPANDS everything Cancer. So Cancer will have more bloat and expansion that Capricorn. Folks, you have to self-monitor very closely.

It is a really tough aspect. It can either be made worse by a health condition that makes it hard to control metabolism like thyroid issues, or it can be made worse by medications, or it can be made worse by slowing down, not moving, exercising or changing the Lifestyle as one ages.

Now let's get off the body and think ego. After all, the Sun rules the ego. The Sun square Neptune can lean either way (belly or ego) since the Sun rules our identity, where we shine, and how much we shine. LOOK AT ME, which means this aspect can be rechanneled from the bloated belly (see me) to more of a stage presence (see me). There is an important mindset here in order to curb and shift the energy in another direction. One may unconsciously do a number of things to gain the attention of others.

It takes Neptune about 165 years to make the full circle through each sign, so thankfully the illusion of Neptune elbowing Cancer will be over soon enough.

While Neptune in Pisces has been squaring Gemini and Sagittarius since 2011, both signs have been suffering from the ol' bloated belly, or the inflated personality, or maybe both since that time. It's finally over and the self has been humbled. The Sun square Neptune will do it.

This means Cancers and Capricorns should be aware of this energy now so that you do not fall 'victim' to this energy expanding your body or your ego. LOOK AT ME! SEE ME! YOU CAN'T MISS ME!

It is also important to note that since Neptune is involved, which rules mental health, then depression may show up on the scene, which can pack on the pounds. It may not be that way for everyone, but it will be that way for many. DO NOT simply assume depression will be the case for you and then manifest depression.

Being hyper-aware of energies is what makes us deal with them more maturely and quickly, thereby helping us not to wear these aspects as if they are truly our identity. IT'S AN ILLUSION!!! A bad day, a bad week, and even a bad month doesn't make something True the rest of the year. IT'S AN ILLUSION!!!

Do a self-check-in and perhaps the bloated belly will fall away when the ego does. After all, the Sun naturally rules Leo, which is the sign of ego, pride, humility and leadership. It's all connected! We have to have an ego, like we have to have pain. We have to know when the stove is hot or when something is not Good for us.

We have to know these things to be more aware of the 'self' or the 'I' so that we can impact and affect as we were purposed and intended. But too much of a Good thing, isn't. If we become too self-inflated, that is a distraction from what we are supposed to be doing in the first place. If we are focused on ourselves, then our purpose does not get our attention.

If you are experiencing this 'inflation' of sorts in size or ego and there is a lesson for you. Learn it, shed it and move on. Remember, the chart doesn't lie, only the mouth does.

P.S. - AND NEVER MIX ALCOHOL with an afflicted (challenging) aspect involving Neptune or Jupiter. Don't make me say, "I told'ja so" because I will, I'm like that. Those of you with birth dates in the applying or separating degrees of this aspect, do not play games with alcohol. You will lose and it won't just be the extra weight.

As a Gemini, I stopped drinking alcohol in 2015. I was four (4) years into this aspect when I finally realized, me and alcohol are not friends. We will never be friends. I never really drank alcohol until I was 40 years old while hanging out with a new set of friends, but it took me 14 years to realize, I don't need to drink too in order to have fun. I am perfectly capable of not drinking alcohol as easy as I can go without chocolate, ice cream and other temptations that other people find difficult to ignore. I don't have an addictive personality. Except for popcorn. Rat dang it! I can't go without popcorn.

Anyway folks, DO NOT MIX this square with alcohol. If you are a Cancer or a Capricorn DON'T DO IT!!! This will hit the earlier degree Cancer's and Capricorn's first for several years. Don't make me say, "I told'ja so" because I will. I'm like that. It's not my finest character trait but at least I can admit it.

P.S. - PISCES will be relieved of this energy too as it will not be squaring Gemini and Sagittarius anymore. Although Sagittarius will feel this one more time since Neptune will Retrograde into Pisces on October 23, 2025. So there ya' go Pisces, you are relieved of muffin-topping too.

Side note --- who remembers me writing that President Trump would be a praying president. Actually, I believe I wrote that he would be 'known as' The Praying President. Oh yeah. Those writings are from back in his first term between 2016 and 2020. He sure will. I mean openly, everywhere and all the time. More and more and more, we will hear PRESIDENT Trump thanking God and praising Him. Just as we heard him after the Iran mission. And speaking of Iran, the regime change is coming and the people of Iran will be FREE and they will be able to live as free people as God intended for us all.

If you received an 'Ah-ha' from this write-up, please consider supporting my 'original content' and buying ME a coffee. You might say, "One awakening (horoscope) for another awakening (coffee)". What a wonderful exchange of chi' and express gratitude.
