This is a HUGE DAY, which you probably already knew about if you have been keeping up with the April 2019 Astro Memes. Today Jupiter in Sagittarius turns Retrograde accompanied by three (3) major aspects and five (5) lunar aspects. This is going to be one helluva interesting Retrograde.

Take a close look at the balloons in the Astro Meme. Certainly there are more subjects covered under Sagittarius than these -- dreams, visions, churches, the Supreme Court and higher courts, colleges and universities, airplanes and global travel, step brothers and sisters, in-laws particularly brother and sister-in-laws, horses or horse subject matter, the office of Secretary of State and the like or its equivalent and trials and tribunals. LEAPIN' LIZARDS BATMAN!

Take a retrograde look in your mind's eye about what Jupiter in Sagittarius has already brought us and now it is going to retrace its steps and uncover and blow up the balloon bigger so we can really see what is going on. Think of the college scandal 'Operation Varsity Blues' with the celebrities and those who 'live large' (Jupiter). Think of the Boeing 737 Max plane than has been grounded. Think of the Kentucky Derby, the Belmont Stakes and the Preakness that will all be taking place under Jupiter in Sagittarius Retrograde. Actually these three (3) races are under Jupiter Retrograde every year, but this year we might see something wildly crazy, cool or scandalous simply Jupiter is in the sign of the centaur (half man, half horse). The Mueller Probe just ended and now we are going to see some juice from the report, that being what can legally be shown to the public.

In addition to the celebrity arrests and trails, we are going to see some GOVERNMENT BIG NAMES heading toward trials and tribunals. This could EASILY have a lot to do with the previous administration, the FISA warrants, the outrageously stupid and oversold scandalous fake dossier that so many people were sucked into believing. And let's not forget that Sagittarius rules JOURNALISM. Man this is going to be juicy as I suspect a whole truckload of media outlets, reporters, journalists and the like will finally get their comeuppance for selling a load of trash to so many gullible and thirsty people. Lick your lips and rub your hands together because this is going to be juicy! Remember, Jupiter E-X-P-A-N-D-S whatever it touches, and Jupiter is now going backward and retracing its steps to take care of some business.

As for you personally, check your YEARLY HOROSCOPE in the teal-colored-drop-down-menu above to read about your Sun Sign and also remember to look at your personal natal chart to see where Jupiter in Sagittarius will impact you. And also, remember to click and watch Jupiter in Sagittarius move over (transit) a certain set of degrees, which you can follow along on your own natal chart to see where the action will be occurring. And there is more . . . you also want to read the 'main Jupiter in Sagittarius', which you can also get to from the second Jupiter in Sagittarius Astro Meme above that doesn't have the word RETROGRADE slathered all over of it.

Then we also experience Venus conjunct Neptune both in Pisces, which takes the qualities of Pisces to a higher level. First of all, Neptune is the natural planetary ruler of Pisces and Neptune is the higher octave of Venus. Neptune is Venus exalted. This is spiritual Love in its finest hour. Venus conjunct Neptune is pure Love, without scratches, tears, rips or holes. What is so incredible about this aspect is it can 'Heal with Love'. I'm guessing Jesus had Venus conjunct Neptune and confirmed the apostles with this power (Venus conjunct Neptune) when He breathed on them the Holy Spirit and told them, "As my Father sends me, I send you." ~John 20:22 Whooaaaaa, this is deep, but then again, Pisces is deep. After all, it does rule the depths of the Ocean. This aspect can not only bringing healing but simply through its depth of Love, it can heal. You have probably experienced at some point through your Life, healing through Love. It is done with prayer and kindness that transcends the physical plane. This Love has a transcendental quality to it. Interestingly enough, at this time during this aspect, the new movie called, 'Breakthrough' is out, which is the movie about the Missouri boy who drowned and his mother prayed outloud and BOOM is was alive. Venus conjunct Neptune is like 'Love hypnosis' where it has the strength and power to do Good, especially when it sources its motivation or drive to do the most Good. In other words, when it is on purpose. So you see, this is an amazing aspect, so do not let this aspect drown and be over-shadowed by Jupiter in Sagittarius Retrograde. Use this aspect to renew your Faith, do some healing work or renew your relationship.

Well, while I believe there is a Judas in every group, there is also a sourpuss in every group and today that sourpuss among this grouping of planets is the the Sun square Saturn. IT IS SOUR! Even though this aspect reveals strong ambitions, there is a hefty dose of fear and expectation of rejection. This can make Life feel like a royal pain in the ass, wherein you feel like you are living a Life of hardship and drudgery. If Jupiter or the Sun have other favorable aspects to them in your chart, this can offset the challenging results of this aspect. Well Hallelujah Maynard, we are in luck because Jupiter and the Sun, are actually trine to each other while this sourpuss aspect of the Sun and Saturn are squaring. OUR ITS OUR LUCKY DAY! Jupiter will trine the Sun in exact degrees on Sunday, April 14, 2019 but right now, it's close enough to this Sun square Saturn aspect that it offsets the sourpuss face and chatter. Thank God! While we may run our mouth about how hard Life is, in the next breath we will be positive again and not be so damn negative, otherwise this aspect (the Sun square Saturn) would just feel oppressive and sad. We are in luck with the applying (approaching) degrees of the Sun trine Jupiter because it only occurs twice a year. Yay! I have the Sun trine Jupiter in my chart, so I'm tickled about that. Oh and so does President Trump. Like him, Love him or loathe him . . it's Go BIG or Go home with this aspect. I'm the say the way. This website was never going to be 50 pages, it was meant to be over 20,000 pages. Hell yeah!

And last, but not least, Mercury sextile Pluto gives us mental strength to figure it all out. This aspect supports the ability to research all kinds of topics and form your own opinion. You may be impatient with superficial understandings because you prefer to go deeper and more complex. This aspect reveals keen mental penetration and analytical intellect. You can grasp the most elusive and obscure subjects, including the sciences that delve into 'the weird'. You can also grasp the deeper and complex issues with money, especially taxes, inheritances, mortgages, loans, insurance and taxes because Pluto naturally rules that subject matter. Your comprehension will be so deep that you derive more meaning from your experiences than usual. This is an excellent placement for anyone involved in scientific or investigative pursuits.

So you see my dear little astrotators, this is a very full day, so I would advise you first read this Extended Daily Horoscope 'at least' twice, if not three times to make certain you get all of this information crammed into your brain. As far as Jupiter in Sagittarius goes, there are three (3) pages to read . . 1) the Yearly Horoscope where you read about how Jupiter impacts your Sun Sign 2) the main write-up for Jupiter in Sagittarius and 3) the Jupiter in Sagittarius transiting degree calendar where you can see Jupiter Retrograde over a certain set of degrees. You can track the Retrograde from start to finish. Enjoy!~

Side note - 'SOON' I would no longer be writing Expansive Natal Charts or Solar Returns. I don't know the date that I will pull the pin, but I do know that I will soon stop in order to give myself more time to pursue other writings, interests and opportunities that I am creating for myself.

As always, when you are ready to learn more about your natal chart and how you can use these planets to better serve you, then click the 'Shop this Site' link to book a 30, 45, 60 or 90 minute reading with me (Dr. Standley).
