but copying and passing off my work as ones own, is plagarism!
Big difference!

The BIG NEWS today is Venus enters Leo at 9:46 AM EDT and then Venus in Leo will oppose Pluto in Aquarius, which is the aspect of 'Fatal Attraction'.

Also, Venus moves into Leo until October 8, 2023. The reason this transit is so long is because it involves a Retrograde. Folks, NEWSFLASH . . Venus rules the 2nd house of morals, values, self-worth, earned income, your salary, personal possessions and personal finances . . as well as the 7th house of committed relationships, marriages and business partnerships, contractual unions with others. I don't know how else to say this but . . . F'ING PREP!

This Venus opposing Pluto aspect is a 'devil made me do it' thing. I strongly suggest you choose the side that revere's God and promotes God. There is no other way to say it. I'm NOT talking religion here. I'm talking GOD! Remember, we are in a 'spiritual war'. Surely you have heard this said by EVERYONE at this point, and surely you believe it by now and are repeating those words yourself, "We are in a spiritual war." If not, you better wrap your brain around it. Surely you have heard by now, "Before an awakening, there is a rude-awakening." This is an old phrase, but is so appropro for this moment in time, that surely you have heard it said and repeated by now. Keep reading . . .

While this 'Fatal Attraction' aspect of Venus opposing Pluto is present, if you have to ask yourself if you are the 'Fatal Attraction' (the trouble) then you may want to adjust your mirror and get a long hard look. People know if they are the 'bad influencer' or not. People know if they are doing the wrong, bad, negative or corrupted behavior. If you have to ask, then adjust your dials, mirror, and attitude. By 'Fatal Attraction' I mean the one who is attempting or tempting others to fall into self-destruction.

This Venus opposing Pluto aspect began in the 'orb of influence' on May 26, 2023 and will last until June 16, 2023. I need to fire some BIG, BRIGHT AND BOLD warning shots here because this is not child's play and someone will get burned. This energy of Venus opposing Pluto is singe-worthy and cringe-worthy. It's not going to be pretty no matter how many designer labels you put on this aspect. This aspect has a level of cruelty and savagery that is incomprehensible.

Venus opposing Pluto is a temptor or temptress. Those in high places will be tempted because they cannot get enough of the attention, glamour, fabulousness, vanity, wealth, attention, free passes, elbow-rubbing and hoighty-toity living. This will be 'part of' their downfall, as this type of energy cannot stop bragging, flaunting and showing their obscene self-admiration. As Jesus would say, "They have their reward." Meaning, God does not have to reward the braggadocious people because they have received their reward from others, which is attention and admiration.

Venus opposing Pluto is a temptress! Have you not seen FATAL ATTRACTION? It is crazy Love, jealousy, cruelty, heartless and risky business. And this is not only crazy woman Love, it is crazy man Love as well. And even if you are not in some twisted coupling that you call "Love" or "relationship", this aspect will tempt you to be and do everything you are not, if you do not keep a sober, right, mature and responsible mind. Venus opposing Pluto could easily rob you of your mature and responsible Saturn energy. Use your Saturn to keep you out of trouble.

Venus opposing Pluto is all about domination, power and drama. The powers-that-be are pulling your strings and making your dance. You are being tempted to look, peek, peep, participate and 'use'.

Pluto is insecure, jealous and obsessed, so this aspect is obsessed with the idea of Love and the desire to have it, as well as have that Love and desire directed at the self. "I'm not going to be ignored, Dan!" as Alex said to Dan in the movie 'Fatal Attraction.'

Venus in Leo write-up June 5 - October 8, 2023

The same holds true for the desire to have money. Venus opposing Pluto expects Loved ones to share Love with the same level of intensity. As a result, relationships are infested with a struggle for power and control, probably even violence, as one attempts to topple the other and gain dominance and control.

Energy needs to be directed into a creative pursuit that is timing consuming and demanding to keep the individual's emotions from wandering and ballooning into something that does not exist.

The likelihood of becoming involved in intensely emotional and sexual relationships is very high. The same will hold true for an individual on a quest for more money, especially if that individual needs money to pay bills. Oh what a desperate insecure person will do for Love or money. Is there no dignity? Is there no level to which one will go when in such desperate need of Love, attention, or money?

This energy might be called "passionate" when it really should be called, "jealous, possessive, insecure, demanding and cruel." This aspect attracts the wrong type of people to couple-up with and have a relationship or to get involved with in matters of money.

This aspect can easily bring on marital problems because of dictatorial attitudes and behaviors toward a mate, or vice versa. Pluto is the planet of transformation through destruction, then reconstruction; therefore, there are attempts to remake or transform the partner rather than compromise.

In business relationships there are extreme challenges with competition, rivalry and jealousy. As with any other challenging aspect, this is powerful energy that should be channeled in a productive way so the energy can be put to Good use.

Again, keep in mind this aspect began in applying degrees on May 26, 2022, it is exact today, and will last in separating degrees until June 16, 2023.

There are a few things that I need to bring back to your attention. We are in the final one (1) year and (5) months of Pluto in Capricorn. While Pluto may be in Aquarius this very minute, because Pluto entered Aquarius on March 23, 2023, Pluto Retrograde will re-enter Capricorn on June 11, 2023 at 5:47 PM EDT until January 18, 2024.

Pluto in Capricorn Until November 18, 2024

If you have been following my daily write-ups for a while, then you know I have made a big hairy deal over Pluto in Capricorn since 2008. That's right! Since 2008! And last year I kept making a big stink over Pluto in Capricorn entering the final three (3) degrees, with that being 27 degrees. I kept writing that's when the BIG SHAKE-UPS would occur and we would see what falls out. The mighty will fall. It's the last three (3) degrees of one sign and the first three (3) degrees into the next sign, where the shake-ups occur, when the planets are ending in one sign and beginning in another. That's where the rubber meets the road and we see the most change occur. In the case of Pluto, which is the planet of transformation, it would be wise to remember that Pluto only transforms through destruction and then reconstruction. Expect it!

On June 11, 2023 Pluto will retrograde back into Capricorn at 29 degrees, then 28 degree and then 27 degrees, where it will then turn Direct and cover 27 degrees, 28 degrees, 29 degrees and then move back into Aquarius . . until its last retrograde back into Capricorn on September 1, 2023 until November 18, 2024.

So folks, this last one (1) year and (5) months of Pluto in Capricorn will be 'scorched earth' and all hell breaks loose with regard to government, those in positions of high places, celebrities, authority figures, the military, all of what I wrote about in the Pluto in Capricorn write-up. Expect it and PREP!

Folks, it's easy to play Monday morning quarterback and call the shots after the event. Certainly we can see some things play out now that the event has arrived or it is here. Fifteen (15) years ago, back in 2008 it was not so easy to imagine Pluto in Capricorn playing out as it has, but yet here it is. I was hammered back then for what I wrote. HAMMERED! I was called stupid, shoddy, racist, prejudice as all kinds of blame and shame was thrown at me, which I refused to own without a guilty bone in my body. If you cannot handle astrology, don't read it.

I don't have a mean and hurtful spirit, others do. And it is others mean and injured spirit who interprets writing, communication, stuff, as they do. So being called names or having a "you, you, you" finger pointed at me does not disrupt my sleep one iota.

When I wrote the Pluto in Capricorn write-up back in 2008, there was an emotional fallout that showed some individuals True colors as they suggested I was showing my True colors. What I showed was how deeply I go into interpretation, even if it scratches your bone and causes you to take it personally. It's interesting to witness what tiny, little, medium, average or BIG things will cause people to turn dark in spirit.

And yet now, it is easy to see these things unfold because they are right in front of our eyes and we have experienced all of these things from 2008 until present day. Now it's easy to play Monday morning quarterback and yell out, "IT'S PLUTO IN CAPRICORN!" It's taken 14-1/2 of this 16 year transit to get it. Heck, no one was yelling, "It's Pluto in Capricorn" back then, but now it's all starting to sink in.

I feel it is my job (as your astrologer) to hammer you and help you understand these aspects so that you are seeing and imagining how these aspects can show up for you personally in real time in your Solar Return over the course of the next year, especially if they are embedded in your birth 'day'. Of course you can call it from your favorite chair the next day after the fact, but I want you to be able to see it and call it before it happens and not just regurgitating others. Now that's a 'broadcaster!'

What I want you to see, know, and feel, is the energies at work before they even come into exactness or grow into something that you cannot get your arms, brain or energy around. Some of these aspects are just like pain. When you feel the prodrome (early symptom) then take the damn pain killer so that the pain does not get out of control. As most of you know, it's easier to manage pain than it is to treat pain. Once pain arrives full-blown and throbbing, you can hardly get your arms around it or take enough medicine to get you out of pain (or that relationship or trouble that you find yourself in). When you feel the prodrome, manage the damn pain, and get out of that sticky situation quickly. In other words, be ready and PREP! Prepare yourself! Be ready!

Take action now before the aspect runs out-of-control and do not wait until Monday morning to say, "Oh yeah, here's what happened and why it happened." We KNOW what happened! Can you call the play, meaning feel the energy before it arrives? That's why we study Astrology . . . right? We want to manage the pain. We also want to find the easy and effortless route to reward and success. We want to know where are the blocks, pits and potholes? Right? And where's Saturn in the chart so we know where he wants us to develop patience, stability, maturity and responsibility?

There are a lot of Monday morning astrologers out there, don't be one of them. Otherwise, you are just regurgitating what everyone else is saying and have no thoughts of your own. There's that reference to the movie, 'Good Will Hunting' that I reference every now and then. "Do you have any thoughts of your own or are you going to plagarize the whole thing?"

Folks, call it when you feel it and you will be right!!! You MUST feel the prodrome of the energy, which is why I teach you 'applying' and 'separating' degrees. In your Expansive Natal Chart and Solar Return I ALWAYS include the 'applying' and 'separating' degrees. THIS IS YOUR INTUITION!!! Get out your charts and blow the dust off of them. Look for the 'applying' and 'separating' degrees under each aspect in your charts.

Further, God did not forget about you when he was passing out intuitive gifts. Some people, just 'choose to use' their intuition and trust their intuition more than others. That's just a fact! Heck, I trust my intuition more than I trust myself because I absolutely believe that my intuition is God speaking to me, through me. I'm going to trust that before I trust anything or anyone else, including myself. If you REALLY knew and believed it was God talking to you, through you, then you would not question your intuition. You would be able to achieve anything!

The 'applying' and 'separating' degrees page has been on this website probably about sixteen (16) years. Take the time to scroll through some of the pages on the left navigation side when 'any' Astrology page is open. The charts that I write are tailored to the study tools on the left side navigation column.

Remember, applying degrees is the energy as it is approaching before 'exactness' and separating degrees is the energy as it pulls away from exactness.

Applying degrees is you feeling the energy 'approaching', which is intuitive. It is the prodrome (the early symptom) of feeling the energy coming on, just like you feel a cold coming on. The separating degrees will leave you feel relieved that the energy is finally over, or refreshed that the energy occurred, like a breath of fresh air. It just depends on the kind of aspect - trine, sextile, square, opposition, conjunction, etc.

The world is so caught up with INFLUENCERS that we will see influencers fall, as will you if you are not mindful. Remember, an influencer is in a position of authority (Pluto in Capricorn). They influence other people to do certain things, whether it is Good or bad. Those influencing the crooked path will fall.

Good God folks, you have to choose a side NOW, and while you are at it, pray you are right! Can you be bought? If enough money is dangled in front of your face, can you be bought? Pluto in Capricorn tells us that those in a position of authority, and influencing others is in a position of authority, they will fall, heads will roll.
