Mercury in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn at exactly 4:45 AM EDT where it began in applying degrees on April 6, 2022, it is exact today, and will last in separating degrees until April 14, 2022.

The Moon in Leo quincunx Venus in Pisces at 10:37 AM EDT. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

I guess it's not enough that we went to bed sleeping on the remnants of a square and opposition from last night's energy. Remember I advised, "When dinnertime hits, go your separate ways and fend for yourself. It's not worth crying and getting stupid over because chances are, the emotional whack was over something small."

The first and only aspect today is the Mercury square Pluto. Sure, there is a quincunx aspect involving the Leo Moon to Venus in Pisces at 10:37 AM EDT, which I pretty much never write about because I have to draw the line somewhere on my daily writing. I typically only stick to the bigger aspects rather than the lesser aspects. Although I do include quincunx's in the Natal Charts and Solar Returns that I write.

Even still a quincunx is a challenging aspect because it unites signs that have no natural relationship or connection, resulting in discord and a necessity for adjustment. This means they have nothing in common with each other, which could explain why you have nothing in common with someone if you have planets that are quincunx aka inconjunct. A quincunx involves two (2) planets that are five (5) signs away from each other, with not much to say to each other. It's uncomfortable in an odd way. Weird even.

Mercury square Pluto is a tough aspect because it talks tough. Mercury rules communication and travel, and Pluto involves power. This could easily look like road rage. It has nothing nice to say and just needs to zip it! You might feel like saying to someone, "Oh my gosh, shut the hell up!" At the same time, someone might be saying that to you.

Sun. Apr. 10, 2022 Applying degrees begin April 6, 2022 Exact on Apr. 10, 2022 at 4:45 AM EDT Separating degrees end on April 14, 2022

Sun. Apr. 10, 2022 Mercury in Taurus at 00 degrees 00 minutes Lasts until April 29, 2022

Mercury rules the mind, mental energy and the power of mental persuasion and Pluto levels one thing to cause something else to rise up out of the ashes, just like the phoenix-rising arises from the ashes. Pluto destructs in order to reconstruct and there is where the transformation takes place.

So this is where you have the ability to transform your mind, thoughts and concerns into something completely different. This aspect is asking you to be fully conscious of your thoughts and transform them into something else. In other words, don't say it, say something else that is better.

If we take a positive spin to Mercury square Pluto, then we can transform our mind into accepting a 'different' play on words. Otherwise we end up believing we are constantly 'under the attack' when that is not the case at all. Pluto has power attached to it, so words can destroy, but at the same time, our level of sensitivity can destroy ourselves.

You have probably heard, "If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all." It really is better that you adopt this motto when this aspect is present because it can literally tear someone's world apart in one brutal sentence. Once the word or phrase is spoken, then jury has heard it and it will be hard to take it back. There are no take-backs with this aspect. You might also find yourself 'explaining' what you meant.

Pluto can cause words to be sharp, biting and stinging because Pluto rules the sign of Scorpio, which can strike out without warning or provocation. That's just its nature. Mercury square Pluto tells it like it is, regardless of what you think. If you don't want to know, don't ask!

Mercury square Pluto is deliberate, cunning, sharp and unapologetic. Oh it knows exactly what it said. Those who are operating at a less than optimal level of character may be using this aspect to persuade others to think a certain way or used to gain control over others. Mind manipulation, mind provocation, mind bullying and mind control. Do not do this to others and do not allow it to be done to you. Remember, this aspect began in applying degrees on April 6, 2022, it is exact today, and it will last until April 14, 2022 in separating degrees.

The other BIG NEWS today is Mercury moving into Taurus. Arrrrgggggggh! This aspect is so slow for a Gemini like me. I can just hear myself now screaming, "JUST GOOOOOOOOO!" This Mercury placement is just so damn slow for someone like me. Let's pray I have my mind intact at the end of this transit.

Thinking and considering is done slowly under this transit as you may be hearing a lot of, "Well let me think about it." or "Let me get back to you on that." A lot of time is given to plotting and plodding out a decision, while some of us more fast moving individuals might be saying, "OMGosh, yes or no!!!"

Mercury in Taurus is the individual who needs to order from the menu and takes FOREVER to do it, even if they have been to the restaurant a hundred times. The server will have to come back a couple of times when a person with this transit is sitting at the table.

Everything is take into account, including those of the senses - smell, taste, ambiance, who is going to be there, what time, what should I wear, will there be music? It's a little too much consideration to make a decision but that's Mercury in Taurus for ya'. Oh my gosh, I want to throw something now!
