EEEEK! What a rough start to this day as the Moon in Gemini squares Saturn in Pisces and Mars in Pisces. Squares Beware! The Good news is, Mars conjunct Saturn (the Gladiator aspect, strength and honor) is still very much present until April 26, 2024 and can override this emotional square.

Keep in mind lunar (Moon) aspects only last about 24 hours, with 12 to 14 hours before or after its exactness. See that little blub above with each aspect. The closer it is to the exactness of the aspect, the more you will feel it. Otherwise, you will feel the intuition of it in approaching (applying degrees) and then you will feel refreshed or relieved that the aspect occurred at all in separating (leaving) degrees.

This Gemini Moon will ring your emotional bell when it comes to - communication, messages, words, reporting, writing, texts, emails, phone calls, ordering, sales, marketing, promotion, driving, transportation, deliveries, shipping, and the like. This is why Gemini rules the traveling salesman.

Just in case the word sales'man' makes your temperament turn wild and rips your world apart, I'm a 'man'kind word user, not a humankind word user. Of course I'm talking about humans. I use the word 'man-kind' to include the totality of man and wo-man with no apologies or guilted political correctness.

Back to the squares.

So as the Moon in Gemini squares 'strength and honor' (Mars conjunct Saturn), some of you may feel some sort of disrespect toward your 'honor'. "Uhhhh, how dare you!" type of thing. The offense, the woundology, the injury might be a bit overkill the first half of this day.

I get it, there are some words that are simply intended to offend. I understand that, but don't we know the difference? Really?

It reminds me of some sports where embellishment of injury (drama) is just ridiculous. In professional hockey the player gets penalized and throw in the sin-bin (penalty box) for embellishment. GET OFF THE DAMN ICE!!!

We see more and more embellishment on the court and field of sports, which pretty much reflects today's society. The constant display of woundology is off the rails.

Maybe it would be a Good idea to click back to Wednesday - April 10, 2024 Daily Horoscope to read about Mars conjunct Saturn, in case you missed it.

As the day pedals along we get closer and closer to the Moon sextile Mercury, wherein Mercury is Gemini's natural ruling sign. Yay! Emotions, feelings, moods and sensitivities dial down and those who were so offended and aghast by 'words' get to come to grips with their own sensationalized emotions. God forbid something really bad happens besides a 'word' showing up on the scene.

Just remember, whatever you are standing in (belief) you will be held to the same measure. It's Scriptural, whether that is Matthew 7:1-3 or Luke 6:38.

On another note - this coming June, July and August 2024, I will 'not' be writing ANY Natal Charts or Solar Returns. It is also quite possible that I may stop sometime in May 2024, I just don't know that date yet. I'm lining up my Life so that I can take this break in order to complete a different project, which will take all of three (3) months to accomplish.

I believe EVERYONE should have their Natal Chart, which is pretty is the fingerprint of your Life. It never changes. At least 'they' haven't found a way to jack with your fingerprint like 'they' have your DNA. (Insert massive dose of smartassiness.) Thank God, the Natal Chart also reveals where health issues will arise, so there's that. Anyway, the Natal Chart never changes and it is something you are always working through and working on.

The Solar Return is the report that reveals what your 'year' will look like from one birthdate to another. So if your birthday is today, then your Solar Return chart begins and it will last until your birthday next year. Now keep in mind the Universe does not speak our language as in - Monday, March 11, 2024. The Universe rolls by math and coordinates. So your birthday may have actually been yesterday or maybe it is tomorrow, when your birth 'date' is March 11th.

The Solar Return is when the Sun 'returns' to the same degree and minute it was when you were born. So that could be a day earlier or a day later, depending on your residence (location) today, which is likely different than where you were born.

Some people will choose to go on a vacation on their birthday to change their location for their Solar Return and the Astrologer will calculate that location, but I do not agree with that method. It's not the Truth. You can't fool or trick the Universe. The Truth is it's a vacation, and you will still have to return back home to your Life, to your mortgage, your bills, your relationships, your neighbors, your job and dot dot dot.

In the Solar Return, each house represents one month. There are 12 houses, there are 12 months.

I advise you to get your Solar Return 'at least' three (3) months before you birthday, simple because the planets could already be coming into the 'orb of influence' and you would be feeling the energy.

For instance, Venus moves into Pisces today impacting all birthdays from today until April 5, 2024. Those of you with birthdays between today and April 5th will already in this Venus in Pisces energy. You need to know this, especially since Venus rules both Love and money.

So there ya' go. So I will take a chart writing break during June, July and August 2024, and if I get to the place that I want to be earlier, then I will start that break even earlier, which would be sometime in May 2024.
