The BIG NEWS today is Mercury sextile Pluto. Have you been kicking around ideas with others? In other words, have you been brain-storming with others? That is the influence of Mercury (mind) sextile Pluto (power) at work. (See Astro Meme below). This aspect supports research, problem-solving and investigation because that is the mindset of Pluto, which digs deep to find the answers. Pluto is a detective, researcher, investigator and inspector.

Mercury naturally rules both Gemini and Virgo, and it is Virgo who can find the needle in the haystack because Virgo thinks at the micro and granular level. Mercury also rules 'the mind' and likes to get into others mind's. This aspect is complex and enjoys 'the complex' so be prepared to go there or just listen.

Pluto naturally rules the 8th house of OPM (other people's money, including the business partner or spouse). This aspect will also help you under more complex financial matters such as taxes, inheritance, wills, mortgage, loans and insurance because those are the financial subjects that Pluto naturally rules. So call your financial planner or the one who can give you financial advice and load up on the information.

Now let's look at this aspect as a 'pattern', which has been showing up mid-Spring and late-Fall for quite some time, since 2008 when Pluto moved into Capricorn. Actually, I think the first Mercury sextile Pluto in 2008 might have been between Aquarius and Sagittarius in late-Winter 2008. Still, this aspect has been showing up every early-Spring and late-Fall for sure since 2009. So here we are 14-1/2 years later in this same pattern.

Do you ever look at your Life and see patterns of when money is better than at other times, or when you tend to fall in Love around the same season, or when you pay more attention to your health, or when you move every few years or so? These patterns are all astrological. They mean something. Look at your patterns.

P.S. - Oh wow!! I need to create another page for you so you can see your 'patterns'. That will 'not' take a lot of time so I can get it completed this weekend. Keep reading . . .

Mercury sextile Pluto is the mark of the strong and deep thinker. This aspect is bound and determined to lift that heavy thought and go to the deeper recesses of the mind. "I'M GOIN' IN!""

Last time this aspect was present 'in the fall' I posted on FB that I made my first loaf of home-made bread. I said, "I am determined 'not' to buy or rely on store bought bread ever again." I had not realized it until after the post that it was a TOTAL Mercury sextile Pluto statement. Mercury = brain and Pluto = power. Brain Power!

When considering your 'pattern' with this aspect, consider that this aspect has 'Scorpio' mentality because Pluto is the modern day ruler of Scorpio.

This aspect has Mercury in Pisces, so there is an intuitive sense, faith, belief, trust, confidence and reliance, which is determination and strength that does not come easy to some because it comes from what cannot be seen. And when you believe with this kind of 'stand', then it is a done deal before it started.

Think of everything that Pluto and Scorpio rule, which is the 8th house of shared wealth, like with a spouse or business partner because these are more complex financial issues that just personal income. This also includes all joint resources, financial support from other people, insurance, legacies, money that comes through 'other' people, stocks, bonds, taxes, inheritance, loans, mortgages, financial windfalls and wills.

IMPORTANT - This aspect not only wants insurance, it wants assurance. Totally a Scorpio thing!

This connection to Pluto also includes, surgeries, life after death, the dead, matters of the dead, spirituality, astral experiences, the metaphysical realm, transformation, regeneration and endings (as in a rebirth). There is also an element of legal matters.

Now listen folks, every single aspect has a dark side and this Pluto connection is no different. It also relates to sexual intercourse, the genitalia, pornography and sex that is unusually forceful. Some sex addicts are going to get caught-up and hung-up in porn, talking dirty through text, phone or email. This aspect will dive into the obscure or occultism.

Listen for conversations about 'the dead' or 'dying' as this aspect is fascinated by death and the dying. Those with this aspect will have a profound fascination with the other side of Life, including NDEs (near death experiences) or will have many instances in their own Life with close-calls.

Those with this aspect may also be able to talk to the dead or find themselves sitting next to the bed of those dying. Movies, books, or anything that has to do with the other side of Life, that others may see as the 'dark side' is really simply a strong belief in Life after death, as there is no death . . . only more Life.

As a side note, look at the list of 2023 Planetary Retrogrades to the right. Notice that as of January 18, 2023, there are NO PLANETS RETROGRADE up until April 21, 2023 when Mercury will Retrograde 'again'.

So you can expect a lot of awareness, quickness, steadfast forward change, from the masses as they begin to awaken from their slumber-fairy-dust-sleep. There's going to be a lot of, "Oh sh!t".

This is the time to press on the gas and cram as much productivity you can in a short period of time. Oh right up my alley. Cram 55 lbs. in a 5 lb. can.

Folks, it is time to put on your skates because it's a power play. All the skaters are on the ice and you have a chance to score some points with the Universe.

Remember the quote from Wayne Gretzky, the greatest hockey player of all time? "I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been."

Cram as much as you can and get as much accomplished as you can before April 21, 2023. We will take a look back then at today's writing when the time comes.
