The Moon in Capricorn trine Mercury in Taurus at 4:49 PM EDT. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

The Moon in Capricorn sextile Saturn in Pisces at 8:33 PM EDT. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

The Moon in Capricorn square Mars in Aries at 11:37 PM EDT. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

Today the Moon is in Capricorn, which is deadpan serious with a calm detachment. This Moon has the automatic response of, "Pull up your big girl/boy pants and keep going." Why? Because of the cougars and bears!!! Capricorn has an up and forward approach, just like a Billy goat going up a mountain.

For you mathematics and physics Astrotators like myself, Capricorn is a vector, meaning it has magnitude and direction. The ascending upward arrow on the projected spreadsheet on the big screen in a board meeting. There is a rise in the direction as it moves forward (magnitude). Capricorn has size in its direction. Upward and onward. Stand up, go forward, now go up and forward at the same time. Like you are climbing a mountain, a staircase or the corporate ladder. By the way, Capricorn rules business, the corporation, business executives and authority figures.

The alternative to Capricorn not being their 'vectorish self' is there is no alternative!!! It is simply out of the question not to go up and forward because if not, that's how you get eaten by grizzly bears, cougars and wolves.

At the end of the day, Capricorn energy has to have accomplished something. Something has to have been moved, completed, achieved or topped off. Capricorn cannot not accomplish. Keep in mind the sign before Capricorn is Sagittarius, which rules goals and ambitions (the target). Then Capricorn energy rolls in and hits the target that was just set. Capricorn carefully plots and calculates every single move as it 'ascends' the mountain lest the baby Billy goat get knocked off the mountain by a Golden Eagle only to be devoured by said eagle. Hey, it's a rough world out there. Everything eats something. FACTOID.

In fact, the Scorpion King and I were playing horseshoes yesterday and the sound of the cicadas was over-whelming. I said, "What eats cicadas!?! Who are they here for??!" Everything eats something folks.

Capricorn has a 'survival of the fittest' mentality because come hell or high water, Capricorn will make it to the summit with or without you. Capricorn will drag your cryin' ass along, grabbing you by the collar, barking out orders like a platoon sargeant, and by golly you will carry your own pack and you will have all of your own gear. That's the mindset of the backpacker, not the hiker. Backpacker! You will have your own gear and you don't share because what if 'if' happens? If 'if' happens then you might need to share, or if someone has to go for help, then each person has their own gear and no one goes without. Prep for survival mentality.

It's no secret. I have a Capricorn Moon and Saturn in Capricorn. You would think I was Capricorn if you didn't know I was a Gemini. So yeah, I would have a Camping - Survival - Prepping section on this website.

Capricorn is the opposite sign of Cancer, so where the Cancer Moon is hyper-emotional, moody and over-sensitive, Capricorn is not. It just isn't. Capricorn is the complete opposite end of the spectrum, which is deadpan serious with a calm detachment. Why? Because of the cougars and bears, and the golden eagles who knock off the baby goats only to eat them after they fall. It's a brutal world out there. Do you think humans aren't as brutal to each other?

I could roll on about these two (2) opposite signs for days, as one sign rules inside the home and family (Cancer) and the other rules Life outside of the home and family (Capricorn). They are the same, but different.

The Moon in Capricorn is aspected by three (3) planets today - a trine to Mercury, a sextile to Saturn and ending the day with a square to Mars. It's really a wonderful day, but then falls on its face at the end of the day. It doesn't have to be that way. If you do not check your emotions, which is usually the result of an unchecked ego, then the day can land hard. You know, almost as if a Golden Eagle knocked you off the mountain while you were 'on a high', way up there on your climb. The eagle will knock baby goats off the mountain only to devour them. FACTOID!

My intention with Astrology is that you learn your 'self' and learn to survive, grow, change and thrive. Standing in the same place can be a dangerous thing. There is a reason why someone like me would have - Camping, Survival and Prepping on their website. Kidding is not one of them. I'm deadpan serious about it.

I pose to you this contemplation, thought, wonderment and yes, warning.

Pluto in Capricorn is NOT OVER!!! Pluto in Aquarius turned Retrograde (Rx) on May 2, 2024. This means Pluto is now headed backward in degrees toward Capricorn.

On September 1, 2024 Pluto will re-enter Capricorn.

Pluto will turn Direct on Friday - October 11, 2024.

Pluto will re-enter Aquarius on November 19, 2024.

Pluto in Capricorn will be that final degree (for the 3rd time), which is 29 degrees. All hell will break loose as the mighty fall. The corporation will fall. Remember that statement. "The corporation will fall." Keep reading . . .

Pluto in Capricorn Last time in 2024

We have been over this and over this and over this. Pluto in Capricorn will shake, rattle and roll, as it has been doing over the last 16 years, and the higher in degrees Pluto in Capricorn goes, the bigger the fall. VECTORS PEOPLE, VECTORS!!! Ya' got cleats? Ya' got food? Ya' got water? Do your kids?

Do you really think as the mighty fall, they will not take you down with them? No one goes down alone. On their way down, they will reach out and grab anyone, everyone, and everything they can, ESPECIALLY THE BABY GOATS!!! It's already happening. The needy, the vulnerable, the dependent, the weak, the infirmed, the at-risk, the ill-protected, the exposed, the unarmed and unshielded. You bet your ass they are all targets.

My approach is NOT going to get prettier folks so that you can handle it better. This is no time to walk on eggshells and tip-toe around what you need to know and do. This could not be more 'boiled frog' if it tried.

I will leave you with this poem by Oriah Mountain Dreamer called 'The Invitation'. It's a beautiful poem that I have posted many many times on this website and on social media. The intention of me posting it today is NOT as a form of optimism, romance and beauty, but more as survival, endurance, stamina and perseverence.

Often times I will tell my Scorpion King, "I have to get up and feed the children". He knows that means I need to write. I need to get up and write to my audience (visitors) who are God's children. No matter how I feel or what I might be going through, I have to get up and write every single day. Not to my children, God's children. I am super-clear about that. I have to get up and feed the children. I am clear who I work for (God), which is not simply a cool expression. I am clear as a bell and I am looking for you to get some mileage out of what I write.

My intention, as a Moon in Capricorn and Saturn in Capricorn Astrologer, is that you find something in my writing(s) that move you upward and onward. This poem, to me, reeks of survival. Enjoy it and for God's sake. PREP!

On another note - this coming June, July and August 2024, I will 'not' be writing ANY Natal Charts or Solar Returns. It is also quite possible that I may stop sometime in May 2024, I just don't know that date yet. I'm lining up my Life so that I can take this break in order to complete a different project, which will take all of three (3) months to accomplish.

I believe EVERYONE should have their Natal Chart, which is pretty is the fingerprint of your Life. It never changes. At least 'they' haven't found a way to jack with your fingerprint like 'they' have your DNA. (Insert massive dose of smartassiness.) Thank God, the Natal Chart also reveals where health issues will arise, so there's that. Anyway, the Natal Chart never changes and it is something you are always working through and working on.

The Solar Return is the report that reveals what your 'year' will look like from one birthdate to another. So if your birthday is today, then your Solar Return chart begins and it will last until your birthday next year. Now keep in mind the Universe does not speak our language as in - Monday, March 11, 2024. The Universe rolls by math and coordinates. So your birthday may have actually been yesterday or maybe it is tomorrow, when your birth 'date' is March 11th.

The Solar Return is when the Sun 'returns' to the same degree and minute it was when you were born. So that could be a day earlier or a day later, depending on your residence (location) today, which is likely different than where you were born.

Some people will choose to go on a vacation on their birthday to change their location for their Solar Return and the Astrologer will calculate that location, but I do not agree with that method. It's not the Truth. You can't fool or trick the Universe. The Truth is it's a vacation, and you will still have to return back home to your Life, to your mortgage, your bills, your relationships, your neighbors, your job and dot dot dot.

In the Solar Return, each house represents one month. There are 12 houses, there are 12 months.

I advise you to get your Solar Return 'at least' three (3) months before you birthday, simple because the planets could already be coming into the 'orb of influence' and you would be feeling the energy.

For instance, Venus moves into Pisces today impacting all birthdays from today until April 5, 2024. Those of you with birthdays between today and April 5th will already in this Venus in Pisces energy. You need to know this, especially since Venus rules both Love and money.

So there ya' go. So I will take a chart writing break during June, July and August 2024, and if I get to the place that I want to be earlier, then I will start that break even earlier, which would be sometime in May 2024.
