Today is that long-awaited day when Mars squares Pluto where you get to (and it is a 'get to') show up as your strongest most wonderful self, but there is an equal and opposite to everything. This aspect can cause you to show up as the Superhero or The Bully. But wait just a dang minute, I have been alerting you to this square for a couple of weeks now, so this should not come as a surprise. You should have been well-aware of it by now if you have been keeping up with your Astrology reading. Now remember Astrotators, just because an aspect occurs does not mean you get out of the car and lay down in the road and get run over. That doesn't even make sense. Or just because there is a huge pot hole or sink hole in the road does not mean you drive straight into it. Damn, you can see it ahead . . . so STOP! Heck, Mercury Retrograde during this time is already telling us that we are in back-track-mode.

Chances are you are going to come up on (or already have come up on) some strangely aggressive behavior thrown at you that you didn't deserve. I have already heard from the Astro community where strangely aggressive behavior was unleashed and hurled at them from the most unusual people over something that was really not meant to be hurtful. This is a case of 'the trouble-maker' vs. 'the innocent bystander'. It is THE person who is engaged in the strangely aggressive behavior and 'reacted' so harshly that is the one who is thinking in those aggressive terms because that is their actual energy and what they identify with, not the other person. So you see folks, that is how you recognize the energy. Someone over-reacted. But then again, maybe it was YOU who engaged in some strangely aggressive behavior. Oooopsie, you may have shown a side of yourself and now the jury has seen it or heard it and now there are no take-backs. Dang, what's an Astrotator to do when they foul up and show a character flaw or two?

We are walking through a time where over-sensitivity is just too much. It's too damn much energy babysitting grown adults infantile emotions and walking on eggshells protecting yourself from possibily saying the wrong thing every time you open your mouth. This energy of Mars square Pluto will cause you to emerge as a protector, or you will emerge as a bully. Now keep in mind, a 'real protector' (Superhero) does not react as a bully. A protector will protect without losing their Good character and Good name. A bully on the other hand will talk down to someone else telling them, "You, you, you . . . " Bully's absolutely Love to tell you how bad YOU are, and what YOU did, and what YOU need to do, so YOU can live in their world, according to their level of sensitivity. Oh man I can't stand the, "You, you, you" and when I hear it, that will definitely cause me to remember YOU. I have seen this first hand recently where someone was coming to the defense of someone else and ended up appearing as the bully themselves instead of the protector. Sometimes it is best to stand back and let others fight their own battles lest you end up looking like the bully yourself.

This Mars square Pluto aspect will actually push people away or just stay away from people altogether. Maybe you wish to be left alone so you can clean the house and get your finances back in order. After all, Mars is the ancient ruler of Scorpio and Pluto is the modern-day ruler Scorpio and Scorpio is a money sign, which rules the 8th house of other people's money. If you cannot trust your emotions and level of sensitivity, then maybe staying home is a Good idea.

If you cannot trust your emotions and level of sensitivity, it would be wise to remember that making others angry is one thing, but injuring someone's spirit is a whole other story. People generally get over being angry and if they hang on to anger that is really their problem, not yours. But when you hurt someone's spirit and touch their soul thereby scratching their bones, that is something entirely different.

This aspect is also very sneaky where the Passive-Aggressive types will show their aggression (and maybe even secretly). You were going about your business and all of the sudden you get a phone call out of nowhere and someone tells you how angry they are at you.

Maybe that person is not really showing their bravery and decides to text you instead, so you can read and then re-read the text thereby putting all of the different emotional tones to it and now you are angry too. You might experience something where someone brings up something from four (4) months ago and throws it in your face. Pluto is a colder than cold planet. In fact, it is as cold as dry ice and will burn you. Whew! Your response might be so cold that you say, "You should have told me four (4) months ago because now I don't give a damn!" Scorpio is the sign of the burial, the dead, cremation, wills, beneficiaries and all things deep and buried beneath the surface. So don't be surprised when you think a topic or situation is dead and buried and then that thing rises up out of the ashes to haunt you and gets thrown in your face one last time (until the next time).

Mars and Pluto are incredibly competitive planets, they are aggressive as all get out and Pluto is downright volcanic. Both of which rule Scorpio, which carries jealousy and cruelty. These two (2) planets squaring each other can not only fight with each other, which is like shadowboxing itself, but it can bring up some unbelievablely unattractive insecurities.

And another thing, Scorpio is the sign that rules sex, the genitalia and secret sex. This aspect 'can' and 'will' get you into trouble sexually if you do not control yourself. While some with this aspect may project onto their partner, it is the person with this aspect who needs to watch their sexual tendencies. There is sexual tension, sexuality, sensuality and sexy everything accompanying this aspect including pornography and sexual innuendo. You must monitor and channel this energy. While embracing your sexuality and sensuality is a Good thing, it is better to embrace it than to misuse it, abuse you or channel it in a way that could get you into some real trouble. Do you get me?

So back to, what's an Astrotator to do when they foul up and show a character flaw or two? Well the first thing you do is recognize this energy when you see it, in yourself or others. That's why we study astrology so we can recognize the energy. All too often it is easy to point fingers at others, but what about yourself? What about you? How are you engaged and participating in this energy? How are you actively seeking to respond as the Superhero rather than The Bully? And I don't mean this in a passive-aggressive way. How are you rising above to show your best self? Since Mars and Pluto naturally rule Scorpio, this is the sign of 'the Phoenix Rising' so use this energy wisely. Rise above!

Those of you with birthdates surrounding this date from October 23, 2019 until November 17, 2019 with the closer your birth date to this date, the more you will have to deal with this aspect over the next year in your Solar Return. I suggest you choose now on which path you want to travel. The Superhero or The Bully.

Several years ago, during my 2016-2017 Solar Return, which was the Solar Return from hell of all Solar Returns I have ever seen. On my gosh it was horrifying!!! I was experiencing 18 million horrible aspects and one was Saturn square Neptune, which I'm showing you in the Astro Meme to the right. There were months and months of birthdates that year from April to early November that experienced that aspect and some of us more than others. That aspect was about as depressing an aspect as one could experience and when I see that aspect in someone's chart my heart just bleeds for them. Anyway, I honestly thought I was going to lose my mind. I didn't know which direction to take the website anymore and I couldn't get any help from anyone. I was lost! L.O.S.T. Toward the end of that Solar Return I dived into yoga and look where I am today. Since that time I earned 2-200 Hour Yoga Certifications and now I own my own yoga studio. It's crazy! I turned that crazy-ass aspect into a crazy-cool outcome! Remember, that was the year that I had pulled my Solar Return out and read seven (7) months after I wrote it. I wrote it two (2) months before my birthday but didn't read it until five (5) months after my birthday. THEN my eyes were opened and it changed my Life. I mean in an instant my eyes were opened and I got my act back together because I did not want to be beat and taken down by a temporary aspect in my Life. I wasn't born with that aspect, it was only temporary. And THAT is when I began writing Solar Return Reports for the rest of you. I absolutely hands-down-without-a-doubt believe that Solar Return Reports hold invaluable clues for your future. That's why I am so adamant about you having your own. Folks, it NEVER TOO LATE to read your Solar Return. I read mine that year five (5) months after my birthday and it changed my Life and yours too because it made me start writing Solar Returns and caused me to focus on making sure you knew about them. Solar Return's are that Important!!!

So I'm just sayin' Astrotator's, stay on top of your Solar Return and if you have this aspect Mars square Pluto in your Solar Return this year (if you have a birthday between October 23 and November 17), remember that it is temporary, not permanent, but what you make out of it will undoubtedly take you down paths will be be temporary and permanent.

Check the Holistic Shop because I have re-added the products and services that you have always Loved. While I will keep the 'donate button' on the website, it is abundantly clear that this website will not be able to completely depend on donations to support itself. And after talking to so many people who wish to have the horoscopes continue, I have to creatively find ways for the site to support itself. 'The Scheduler' has been added back into the phone reading page, which I had taken off in order to save money because there is a monthly fee to have that software. It's going to be worth my time to bring 'The Scheduler' back so that I do not have to email back and forth in order to book appointments. You will choose your appointment time as you had been doing before.

It is interesting how Mercury Retrograde is operating in my own Life and how much more efficient this go around will be for myself and the website. Thanks for your patience and understanding as I juggle my personal Life, this website and my yoga studio. P.S. -- Products and services posted will be rising in price as indicated on the order pages since I have less hours available.
