Fa la la la lahhh, la la, lah, lahhhhhhhh. Today is an interesting day of aspects as Mercury square Saturn is laser-focused on the details at hand that no one else wants to entertain or address, and Venus trine Neptune is merrily walking along and jumping for joy over the illusion of something that will likely not last. These are two (2) completely different type of energies.

While one individual is focused on self-preservation and preparing for the unknown with regard to shortages of everything that supports our lives, another individual is merrily walking along without a care in the world planning their weekend of play.

While Mercury square Saturn can easily be seen as pessimistic and negative thinking, Venus trine Neptune is seen as overly-optimistic and jumping for joy over-the-moon without thinking at all. Mercury square Saturn is considering everything down to the smallest detail, and Venus trine Neptune is considering nothing. Mercury square Saturn is a practical thinker and Venus trine Neptune is practically not thinking at all.

This morning on my personal FB page I made two (2) posts that can be seen as straight out of the Mercury square Saturn playbook. They 'appear' to be negative, gloomy, scary and hopeless. Okay, however you need to see it. I could not have been more deliberate in choosing the day and time I wanted to make both posts, of which you can see below. I would much rather be clear-minded and laser-focused, than leaping over the Moon blind and mindless to what is occurring around me. Keep reading . . .

I also posted on my DrStandleyAstrology FB page the picture below showing you the three (3) exact hits of Pluto in Capricorn at 27 degrees this year on the Pluto in Capricorn Transiting Degree Calendar. The first time was back was between February 2, 2022 and March 10, 2022. The second time was between June 21, 2022 and August 3, 2022. And the third time will between December 9, 2022 and January 11, 2023.

The reason why 27 degrees is so significant is because 27 degrees Pluto in Capricorn is the exact 'Pluto Return' to where Pluto was back on July 4, 1776. What do you think occurred back then? Without me having to give you a history lesson, do your own due diligence and homework.

Pluto in Capricorn is not about to lay down and not finish the job he started. Remember, when a planet enters the final few (three) degrees of its sign, its a chaotic space of energy as it moves from one energy to another. Just like when you move from one house (residence) to another. It's utter chaos until you finally settle into your new digs and unpack. The same thing is occurring. Pluto will destroy and rebuild. Stay in your Pluto in Capricorn mindset so that you can see for yourself what happens to authority figures and government establishments when they do not mind themselves and are left to run amuck.

So yes, I am taking full advantage of Mercury square Saturn and dialing down to the narrow-minded focus because so many are out-of-touch and not paying attention to the details, which is Mercury. Remember, Mercury not only rules Gemini, it rules Virgo, the sign of detail, methodology, exactness and pinpoint accuracy. Mercury square Saturn is limited in its views, but I believe dialing down to the details is exactly what needs to occur.

Prayerfully, this Mercury square Saturn will affect some voting outcomes when narrowing and dialing down to the details. Mercury rules book-keeping, counting and accuracy. Prayerfully this will help.

Mercury square Saturn does have strict adherence to the law because it goes by letter of the law. This aspect demands order at all costs and there is no room for negotiating on it. Self-discipline is very strict, which others are held to the same level of strictness and discipline.

This aspect does float on the pessimistic side, which at this point we can just about say, this is the side of Life that no one wants to hear. Maybe if we ignore it, it will fix itself, or just fade away. There actually comes a point in time where what can go wrong needs to be entertained and addressed, lest you be caught with your pants down and surprised by what you see or who sees you.

On the flip side, there is the aspect of flying over the Moon in Love (Venus trine Neptune) and not really having any clue what is going on around you. Myself, I would rather know that not know. This aspect has itself so embedded in the clouds that just about anything can be pulled over the eyes because guess what, no one is paying attention.

Venus sextile Neptune is sensitive and gentle, where compassion and understanding for others is the focus. There is a double-dose of Pisces influence with this aspect because Neptune is the higher octave of Venus and Neptune is currently in the sign of Pisces its natural ruler. Since Venus is a planet that is cloud covered, now imagine what Neptune looks like when taken to a higher level.

This aspect brings in the notion of predestined Love and that you have met your 'soulmate'. Deep spiritual beliefs accompany this aspect because Neptune is the ruler of spiritualism, reflection and subconscious thought. Thank God this aspect is accompanied by Mercury square Saturn, which may have you saying, "Wait, I have to work tomorrow. I can't run off and get married today!" At least this aspect has some emotional sobering energy surrounding it so that there will be less bad decisions made for the sake of Love.

Practical affairs tend to be ignored, such as money, for Love. You may find yourself saying, "Well it seems like a Good idea at that time." This aspect jumps over the Moon with Love (or money), while the rest of one's Life is ignored.
