Big difference!

The BIG NEWS today is Mars in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn Retrograde (Rx) at 9:05 PM EDT where it began in applying degrees on September 26, 2023, it is exact today, and will last in separating degrees until October 20, 2023.

Also present today is the movement of Venus out of Leo (finally) and moving into Virgo. If you remember, Venus moved into Leo on June 5, 2023, then on July 22, 2023 Venus 'retrograded' until September 3, 2023 when it turned 'direct'. And now today, Venus moves into Virgo. See Astro Meme below, which is clickable for more study.

So folks, the bully is in town, which is an extremely powerful aspect. Remember, wherever you see Pluto, think power! Mars is the Roman god of war, whereas Aries is the Greek god of war. Mars is the planetary ruler of Aries and the co-ruler of Scorpio. This is because before Pluto was discovered, Mars was the ancient ruler of Scorpio and then Pluto became the modern ruler of Scorpio. Therefore, Pluto is the higher octave of Mars.

So to have these two (2) planets digging their elbows in each others side has all the markings for extreme volatility, danger and yes of course, war! Keep in mind this aspect came into applying degrees on September 26, 2023 and will last until October 20, 2023.

What we have seen just one (1) day prior to this exactness of Mars square Pluto today is, yesterday Hamas, the Iran-backed terror group controlling Gaza, launched an unprovoked and vicious surprise attack on Israel. That's the global scale of this 'bully' aspect. Remember, if you study, you will see Astrology on a national, statewide, regional, county, local and person level as well because when it's the Truth, it shows up everywhere!

Mars square Pluto is volatile, downright dangerous and has a whale of a temper. You can ask any Mars square Pluto aspected individual how bad their temper is and they will tell you. They will own it, typically as an intimidation factor. But when the temper flares and you call them a "bully", they will deny it, become offended and threaten you in some form, possibly even legal action. Tempers this bad are a reflection of weakness, not strength. If one cannot control their temper, then they are unleashing their temper and controlling others with their temper (and usually threats).

This aspect is heavy and all hell breaks loose. This should not surprise you since Pluto rules the underworld, hell, the netherworld, satan, moloch, baal, and all things associated with this dark energy. Pluto is potent, pushy, possessed, obsessed, cruel, merciless, forceful, bossy and completely unattractive in this state. Unless of course this dynamic appeals to you.

Pluto also rules annihilation, termination, death, destruction, elimination, betrayal, adultry, abduction, corruption, debauchery, bombs, death, dead bodies, body bags, morgues, blood, guts, human fluids, dictators, perversion, should I keep going? Do you get the picture? Keep reading . . .

When Pluto is challenged, it will obtain through force. Certainly, this aspect can be channeled into doing Good. For instance, it could show up in the chart of a Navy Seal who has a 'do or die' mentality. In fact, General Patton had this aspect in his natal chart at 00 degrees. There is enormous courage behind this aspect that propels one to move forward without doubt or fear. This aspect can also show up in the chart of a first responder such as a fireman, paramedic or police officer. One's motives should always be considered to keep the ego and intentions in check. Extreme sports or foolish games can also be the result of the aspect.

The temperament is extreme and volatile. The individual with this aspect in their chart will need to control their emotions or they will attract violence, arguments, fights, and eventually find themselves on the outs, even with those they Love (or use to Love).

As a transit flying over everyone's chart right now, Pluto in Capricorn is currently at 27 degrees, check your chart to see if Pluto is square, conjunct, opposing, trine, sextile or quincunx one of your planets. You may need to pace yourself as others may not feel as intensely about something like you do. They are 'not' you. Other people have their own chart they are living through and trying to manage, not yours. You work on you.

For instance, if this aspect is squaring Saturn in the chart, then criminal behavior is likely along with jail time. If it is conjunct Saturn, then this aspect is wonderful with mounds of 'disciplined power'. So you see, it all depends on how Pluto aspects a chart. Aspects that I write in charts are - square, quincunx, conjunction, opposition, trine or sextile.

Mars square Pluto certainly has high willpower, but that willpower often lacks direction and proper channeling when in a square. This could lead to violent circumstances such as war, fights, arguments, riots, revolutions, rebellions and destructive tendencies. Hence, Iran bombs Israel out of the clear blue. This is the classic aspect of the dictator that says, "Might makes right" or "My way or the highway."

Now if this square is aspected in a positive way, meaning another aspect bounces off of this hard aspect, then you could achieve great heights especially where diplomacy and leadership are concerned.

If you do not see this energy occurring - personally, then pull back your field of vision and then maybe you will see it locally, regionally, nationally or globally.

Folks, there is an INSANE amount of competition with this aspect. Again, Mars is the natural co-ruler of Aries and Scorpio. Mars and Aries are the most competitive energies, but then there is Pluto, which is the higher-octave of Mars. This aspect obsesses on winning. How one uses this energy to win is another story.

This power 'can be' channelled into THE MOST amazing ways, but it can also easily turn inside out on its own power and turn into something dark, seedy, sinister and ugly. Celebrities with Mars square Pluto at less than 01 degree, in other words 00 degrees, which is as exact as this aspect can get - Antonio Banderas, Penelope Cruz, Olivia Newton-John, Bruce Lee, John McEnroe, Gavin Newsom, George Patton, Tyler Perry, Jimmy Swaggert, and Oprah Winfrey. And celebrities just over 01 degree - Harvey Weinstein, Mohammed Ali and Manuel Noriega.

Interesting group of people, wouldn't you say? No matter whose chart this energy lands in, it's extreme and larger than Life with an incredible amount of power. Use it, but don't abuse it, as it will come back to haunt the abusers.

Now folks, we have a lot of October to get through. Remember when I picked October 4, 2023 as the fall of 'House of DCards'? Hindsight is always 20/20. It appears the Jenga piece that pretty much solidifies 'the fall' in 'The Fall' was the speakership vacancy on October 3rd. Remember, that pick came with this aspect Mars square Pluto impacting it as well, along with squaring the Nodes. All of this and more is running together and it's only October 8th. We have a lot more October 2023 to get through so sit up, pay attention and PREP for Heaven's sake!

I have prepped you all the way through April 2024 Astro Memes. I finished it yesterday, double-checked it at 3:00 AM EST this morning and posted it. All links in the usual places are posted. I will be going through and finishing the applying and separating degrees from December 2023 through April 2024. So sit tight.

I did however put the applying and separating degree dates for the Jupiter conjunct Uranus aspect on April 20, 2024. That's a very special date. Now folks, that aspect is very much present right now in the 'orb of influence'. We came into the 'orb of influence' of Jupiter conjunct Uranus the next day after the nodes moved into the North Node Aries and the South Node in Libra, which told us, "JUSTICE IS COMING!"

So this aspect has been in the 'orb of influence' since about July 19, 2023 and will remain in the 'orb of influence' until about October 20, 2023 as these two (2) planets are within 10 degrees of each other. In a conjunction, if the two (2) planets involved are within 10 degrees, then they are conjunct. Keep reading . . .

'Orb of Influence' Applying degrees begin July 18, 2023 the day after Nodes changed July 17, 2023 Separating degrees end on Oct. 20, 2023

So not only are we ALL experiencing Mars square Pluto, square the Nodes, with the Sun in Libra dropping into the South Node in Libra, but we are all experiencing Jupiter conjunct Uranus.

Then there are people like me, who live every single day with the placement Jupiter in Aquarius, which is THE MOST freedom Loving planet (Jupiter) in THE MOST freedom Loving sign (Aquarius). Every single thing that we Jupiter in Aquarius people think and do is based on how it impacts our freedom. Remember back at the start of Pluto in Capricorn I wrote to you that everyone would be in the street with their fist in the air at some point during the 2008 - 2024 Pluto in Capricorn transit, and my stance would be about my freedom, including my freedom of speech. I knew back then that is what would get me on a rip! That's why I post with my fist in the air on Fakebook. I cannot sit back and watch and do nothing.

Your freedom 'should be' a big ass deal to you right now. If not, you will have a fear factor coming real soon to remind you of just what 'freedom' means to you.

Physician, know thyself! Get your charts out and READ!

The 'House Speaker' and 'Israel/Iran', along with the border/wall in question and turmoil, October has only begun and there will be more. I GUARANTEE that! Jupiter conjunct Uranus, which is present right now but not in exact degrees, along with revisiting this energy with exactness on April 20, 2024 with an 'orb of influence' of February 16, 2024 until June 16, 2024 this promises to be an exciting, scary, necessary and volatile time.
