Moon in Gemini trine Mercury in Libra (Direct) at 8:49 AM EST. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

The Moon moves out of Gemini and into Cancer at 4:45 PM EST and will last until Saturday, November 7, 2020 at 2:18 AM EST.

The BIG NEWS today is Mercury in Libra turned 'Direct' yesterday, so it is important that we remember that fact today and for the next two (2) weeks so we don't lose our flippin' mind.

Here's a little back story. Whenever a planet (Mercury in this case) prepares to turn Retrograde (go backward in degrees) it gradually slows down to a snails pace. It has to slow down to a complete stop in order to shift gears, just as you do in your car. Mercury moves at about 01 to 02 degrees per day. It might move 1 degree today, 2 degrees tomorrow, 2 degrees the next day, 1 degree the next day. That is Mercury's natural pace.

Now let's keep in mind NO PLANET EVER moves backward or stops. It's just an illusion, cast by a shadow by the Sun that makes it only 'appear as if' the planet is moving backward. It's a damn illusion! IT'S NOT REAL, but our reaction to it is very real. So Mercury slowed down enough that the degrees came to a standstill and so Mercury turned Retrograde on October 13, 2020. That two (2) weeks leading up to that date, Mercury began slowing down.

By the time October 10, 2020 arrived just 3 days before its Retrograde on October 13th, Mercury was moving so slow that it was in a holding pattern, standing still at 11 degrees, and it stayed at 11 degrees until October 17, 2020. Holy Schmokes Maynard, that's seven (7) full days of Mercury sitting still at 11 degrees. Think back . . what was going on the few days before and after Mercury turned Retrograde.

So that two (2) week time period before Mercury actually turns Retrograde on October 13th and the two (2) weeks after Mercury turns Direct is its 'shadow period'. The Sun casting a shadow on the planet making it 'appear as if' it is a snail. (winky wink) IT'S AN ILLUSION!

oh oh oh . . and last night we experienced the Moon squaring Neptune, the illusion that made everyone feel depressed. Now that few days 'before and after' Mercury turns Retrograde and Direct is when Mercury is moving the slowest. We call that 'the storm'. So you see my dear little Astrotators, we are in that stormy period of time when Mercury is moving especially slow. Remember, at this writing it hasn't even been 24 hours since Mercury turned Direct (yesterday at 12:50 PM EST).

Think of the locomotive getting back up to its normal speed. Come on . . make the sound of a locomotive sitting at a standstill ... which is 'Stationary'. It's not preparing to go back (Retrograde) now, it is preparing to move forward (Direct) in degrees. The shadow is lifting and we get a better sense of what is really going on. Just as it is in your car, you don't just shift gears while you are moving, you have to come to a complete stop and become stationary and then you can shift gears.

Notice that I have included a chart wheel for both President Trump and joe biden with the aspect of the Moon trine Libra aspecting their Natal Chart.

Over the past few days Mercury was gradually moving slower and slower until it became 'Stationary' (stopped) ... and now it is Stationary Direct and at this writing at 6:30 AM EST it is in freakin' slowwwww-mo-tion, as if it were still at a standstill. Mercury will get back up to its normal speed as each day ticks by. It takes about 2 weeks and we call that it's Post-Retrograde Shadow. So we are right smack dab in the Post-Retrograde Storm (not even 24 hours later) and we are in the shadow period where there is still a shadow cast making it 'appear' jacked-up, like its stopped . . AND MERCURY HAS NOT STOPPED . . but our response to this energy is real and we stop.

Think of being in your car and on the side mirror it says, "Objects may appear closer than they really are" and then you react as if an object is closer and you slam on the breaks or react a little hyper and emotional. That's an illusionary response. Ya get it? IT'S NOT MERCURY, IT'S YOU! Holy F! Own that! LOL.

Astrology is so fun and eye-opening, and if you want to be able to read yourself, watch your own pattern of action and reaction. Pull your chart out, blow the dust off of it and study yourself, especially where you have Retrograde planets, designed by the 'Rx' abbreviation.

Now remember yesterday at 5:43 PM EST the Moon squared Neptune bringing on that depressing and heavy energy. You must remember, that energy was an illusion. You could 'feel' that energy occurring 12 to 14 hours before and after its exactness, which exactness was at 5:43 PM EST. It is still messing with your emotions when you woke up this morning. That heavy depressing feeling. Well, it is lingering energy that will last until about 7:43 AM EST this morning. YOU MUST remember that about these lunar aspects. Oh my gosh, have I not taught you anything?

The one (1) lone aspect today is the Moon in Gemini trine Mercury in Libra. I created a bi-chart wheel for both candidates, which I linked above. This aspect hits at exactly 8:43 AM EST this morning, which is just after that 12 to 14 hour 'orb of influence' of the Moon square Neptune last night. Well, remember this aspect too has a 12 to 14 hour 'orb of influence' that was overlapping last nights lunar aspect. These aspects are always jacking with our emotions and that's why we are all a little bit emotionally jacked up. Some of us just have a better handle on managing emotions than others. I'm one of those people with a Moon in Capricorn. (winky wink)

The Moon trine Mercury makes you able to communicate your thoughts and feelings very well. It's helping me with this writing. This aspect makes Good decisions that are based on both the heart (Moon) and the mind (Mercury). The planet Mercury reasons and thinks; therefore, this aspect reveals a careful mind that has common sense and reasoning power. There is power in the ability to reason. If you do not tap this energy, then you do not benefit from its energy. In other words, if you don't use it, you lose it.

There are few emotional anxieties with this aspect and if there are any, it makes one fully aware of what those anxieties are and causes the individual to handle them reasonably well without drama and fanfare. Notice where Mercury is trine to President Trump's 10th house of career, right across the top of the chart and where it is hitting joe biden in his 11th house of friends, groups and organizations.

This aspect is an effective communicator and has a pleasing way of expression. It is logical, reasonable, just and kind. This aspect favors communication with those in the home simply because the Moon rules the home and the family. There is also a tendency for discussion of health, nutrition, diet, fitness and daily lifestyle and regimen since Mercury naturally rules Virgo and Gemini. So there is a big of' fat chance of talking about healthcare today or YOU getting your mindset straigth about your own healthcare. This aspect will help you focus on the positive.

Now go splash your face with water, slap yourself until you say, "Thank you mother may I have another" and keep going until you wake-up and snap out of that depression. Make the sound of the locomotive building up speed over the next 2 weeks. And if if takes 2 weeks for the answer of the election, then that is what it takes. Make the locomotive sound and you will see clearer with 20/20 vision. (winky wink) I'll be back to make posts throughout the day below, as I have the past couple of days.

On another note, I don't know how anyone can stand being censored. Did you know that Twitter AGAIN censored the President's tweet last night. How in the Holy Mackeral does anyone think that is okay for anyone? Good God! You must remember, as Jesus said, "If you live by the sword, you will die by the sword." In other words, be careful what you stand for and stand by because you will be held to the same measure, case, rule, etc. I'll be back with more today.

Okay let's think about all of this Astrotators. It's a nervous time right now as we wait for results from PA, NC, MI, WI, GA and NV. I think that's all that's left, as if that isn't enough, right?

Let us remember Pluto in Capricorn and it's 16-year transit from November 2008 until January 2024. The halfway point was the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election. That was the flip of Pluto pancake. One side of the pancake always looks better than the other. The process is ugly, it's messy, but yummy, is it worth it. So back in November 2016 that was when everything went in the other direction. That was when Hillary Clinton lost and probably screamed bloody murder and peed herself. In order for Pluto in Capricorn to be real . . to be True . . and hold some weight, then whatever was on the other side of the pancake flip had to be so incredibly different that it would be unrecognizeable. If Hillary Clinton would have won nothing would have really changed. It would have been more of the same because it would have been a politician doing the same thing different day as all the Democrats and Republicans had been doing as the country kept sinking into a hole. The flip of the pancake had to be nothing like we would have ever seen before. If Hillary would have won, it would have simply been a change in gender. Instead a man who was a non-politician was elected. It could have been anybody, it just couldn't be her. She was NEVER going to win simply based on Pluto in Capricorn and I put all of my eggs in that basket. There was no other transit, aspect or anything else that I based that prediction.

Now here we are four (4) years later and in order for the 16 year transit of Pluto in Capricorn to come to its completion, the last few degrees are the hardest. The pancake flipped and its not flipping back to the same old political rhetoric with joe biden, a career politician. Sh-- is going to happen and change and grow and look completely different, whether you, me or anyone else likes it. President Trump is going to win four (4) more years. He finishes the job that he started with eight (8) years of the sixteen (16) years, with the first eight (8) years completed by barack obama. It's going to happen.

In this election I can bring up all of the things I mentioned yesterday, but I still lay all of my money on Pluto in Capricorn. The pancake flipped and that was a done deal. It was over four (4) years ago and President Trump is going to finish the job that he started and get this country prosperous the likes of which we have never seen. I'll tell ya', it's going to be like a rags to riches story, like it was in the Middle East when oil was discovered. Their lives went from rags to riches and now the shoe is going to be on the other foot. This country (U.S.) is going to prosper and so many people are going to go literally from rags to riches. I don't quite know what that looks like but we are dealing with Pluto in Capricorn and you have to get it through your mind that Pluto rules a FULL BLOWN TRANSFORMATION and it will look nothing like it did. When Pluto blows sh-- up, nothing looks the same. Nothing is the same. It's a painful process to get to that point, but it will happen. Some of you may not like what I am writing and I sure as hell won't stop because someone doesn't like it. I won't interpret the planets in a way that suits certain people because it can't be done. Well it can be, but not with integrity. I prefer to keep my integrity and call it as I see it . . . and before the results come. I would much rather take an educated stab at the outcome before it happens because it's FUN! So be patient, pray to God and row to shore. Keep praying and keep rowing. I have more to write . . but I have to write some Natal Charts and Solar Returns. I still stand by what I said, "President Trump will win a second term."

How many of you know or even remember that I have a section on this website called, 'Dr. Standley's Astrology Brain Dump'. I began this section of the website back in December 2015 when the 2016 Presidential candidates were in full swing. I had cast charts on all of them.

Remember, President Trump had to knock 17 of them off the stage. The Republican Party did not ask the other candidates to withdraw, are you kidding, because the Republican Party was not in favor of Candidate Trump. Oh hell no they wouldn't ask those other candidates to withdraw. He actually beat them at their own game and they had to withdraw due to unpopularity, lack of funding, etc. In joe biden's case, I would be willing to bet the Democratic Party or Nancy Pelosi asked them to withdraw and of course they probably lacked funding as well.

So if you have a time, you can click through all of the articles on this 'Brain Dump' page or click the pic. I wrote articles from December 2015 until November 2016 on the election. You can see the black monthly buttons at the top of this linked page. When you get to that page, just scroll down a bit and you will see it all. Enjoy a bit of past political astrological writing.

TIMESTAMP 7:20 PM EST SAME DAY - WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2020

Astrotators, I told you that the Moon would be moving into Cancer this evening at 4:45 PM EST and will last until Saturday, November 7, 2020 at 2:18 AM EST. And in my post on 'Fakebook' I did say, "There will be tears." We KNOW how this Cancer Moon goes. It is moody, it is hyper-emotional, sensitive, takes every damn thing personal and it cries. There will be tears during this Cancer Moon. So here we are going into the evening hours and I'm getting a lot of emails, texts, messages, etc., LACED with doubt, worry, fear and anxiety. Folks, if the Astrology is True, then President Trump will remain as President. I believe the Astrology to be True.

All of the fearful messages coming in toward me of incredible content and proportion. Let me tell you this . . don't you think that those with some sort of positive influence on the masses that there would be some sort of attempt to take them out or silence them by the negative force? Have I not taught you anything? Why do you think I am on my website talking to you here instead of going through 'Fakebook' or another social media platform.

I am a 'Faithkeeper' (North Node Virgo - South Node Pisces). I have written to you many times. I hold the 'Faith' when others cannot. When others lose all hope, I am able to hold strong for them. I absolutely WILL NOT allow my brain or spirit to be tainted by doubt, worry, fear or anxiety. I will hold strong and if in fact the Astrology is True, which I believe it is, it will hold.

Remember who the greatest Astrologers were . . they followed a Star to Bethelem. The three (3) men following that Star were known as the three (3) kings, the three (3) wise men and the three (3) Magi. Do you know what Magi means? In Greek it means 'skilled magicians or astrologers' from the Latin word 'magi' plural magus for magician. So the next time someone wants to challenge you on your Astrology, then either speak up or walk away. The three (3) wise men were following a Star because they were Astrologers. The Persian used it to describe 'the priestly class'.

I could go on and on. So please, save your energy and your mental health by walking away from those who are attempting to steal your peace or frighten you. Do you not know that this is a spiritual war of epic proportions. I will hold strong, while protecting and keeping my peace, by watching NETFLIX while the lawyers get it all hashed out. I will protect myself and hold the Faith for you, if you cannot.

Now remember, we are now in the midst of the weepy and hyper-emotional Cancer Moon that entered at 4:45 PM EST and will last until Saturday, November 7, 2020 at 2:18 AM EST. THAT SUCKS! Still, I will keep my peace and keep away from any energy that could be attempting to penetrate my peaceful space. I HOLD ... while watching Netflix and petting my cat!

TIMESTAMP 11:00 PM EST SAME DAY - WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2020

Remember this my dear little Astrotators . . . "The chart doesn't lie, only the mouth does." Now, having said that, there is the possibility of chart misinterpretation and charting bias. Certainly, that could be the case, but I don't think so. LOL! Hey, I have my natal Jupiter in Aquarius and Aquarius rules Astrology and whatever Jupiter touches E-X-P-A-N-D-S. And I wouldn't take a chance on charting bias because I have a South Node in Pisces and Pisces rules the 12th house of karma, so I'm pretty hyper-aware of creating bad karma because then I would have to answer for it and I'm too f'ing lazy for that. Karma payback is hard work so I will not go there.

Back in 2008, I was not at all thrilled when I wrote barack obama would win. In fact, I cried. And I cried really hard when obama won in November 2008, just like the Hillary voters did when she lost in 2016. I was not happy, but I couldn't be bias and state otherwise in my write-ups. Do you know why? Because the chart doesn't lie, only the mouth does and I'm pretty f'ing aware of creating bad karma.

So here we are, watching Pluto in Capricorn in action. Folks, read and then re-read Pluto in Capricorn because we can just about blame Pluto for anything ugly, perverted, criminal and explosive right now because he sure as hell does not need any help. Pluto rules the netherworld, the underworld, debauchery, crime, the negative force, evil and corruption. Pluto seeks to destroy, but then out of the ashes, the Phoenix-Rising appears. Pluto also rebuilds out of itself. Pluto levels, and I mean completely levels, and then rebuilds.

Have you even entertained, during this whole 16-year Pluto transit, what Pluto is doing to you in order to do for you? Pluto is completely turning an area of your Life upside down, inside and out, in order to transform you. Click the pic for the write-up if you missed it.

Before Pluto in Capricorn, it was in Sagittarius from 1995 until 2008 and that is where the transformation took place in your chart during those years, in the Sagittarius area of your chart. The terrorism during that time was unreal because Sagittarius rules philosophy, religion, the higher-thinking mind, high-held beliefs. There was terrorism before and after those years certainly. If you recall, one of the first BIG EVENTS of Pluto in Sagittarius was a terrorist event in 1995. It was the Oklahoma City Bombing on April 19, 1995. Pluto had just entered Sagittarius on January 18, 1995 and it had only moved two (2) minutes by April 19, 1995. It was not even a full degree, as it was only at 00 degrees 02 minutes when that bombing occurred. Pluto is merciless right out of the gate. And the Twin Towers in New York City, occurred on September 11, 2001 under Pluto in Sagittarius. Pluto is the devil in disguise. Will you remember that? Please!

Now back to Pluto in Capricorn. We are in the final stretch of Pluto in Capricorn as it will change signs on January 20, 2024, which is just three (3) years, 2 months and 16 days away from today. Since this is 2020 and it changes in 2024, it sounds like four (4) years away but alas, it is almost just three (3) years away. The final degrees will be the most transformative and right now Pluto in Capricorn is at 22 degrees 43 minutes (almost 23 degrees). Remember, Capricorn rules the 10th house of career, government, military, public Life and recognition, rank in society and status in the community, the father, the authoritarian and the father figure.

You must relax as the votes get recounted because corruption is rampant because Pluto in Capricorn is all over the political landscape. One could scream Trump is the corrupt politician but that is not where the voter fraud is occurring. There are over 100,000 more votes than registered voters in one of the state counts. And is 'The Squad' so Beloved that they all four (4) won in such outrageous numbers. Really? It's all going to be recounted and the corrupt will be revealed. So you just hang on to your pretty little self. Hold our President up in support and prayer because the American people have been had by their 'alphabet soup TV news' shows. So many people could not switch their channel from 'alphabet soup news' and thought they were sharing well-informed and well-written political articles. Nope, you were had! The current South Node in Sagittarius is ready to swallow up those journalists, publishers, editors and reporters when they get fired.

Have a great night and I'll write my ass off again tomorrow. Do me a favor and spread the word about my writings. Please! And remember. . . "The chart doesn't lie, only the mouth does."
