Last night I posted the Daily Horoscope for today (below) and yesterday I posted these first three (3) paragraphs on Fakebook. All before Mercury turned Retrograde this morning at 4:35 AM EDT.

Whew! When I said, before Mercury turns Retrograde on April 21st, I wanted to get the Monthly July Astro Memes posted, all of the Planetary Transiting Calendars posted, all of the prep-pages posted through April 2023, as well as the 'water bath canning' and 'pressure canning' sections posted of the 'Survival Prepping' pages . . . I meant it . . . and I did it. Whew! It was close ... but I'm going into Mercury Retrograde on cruise control.

The Water Bath Canning and Pressure Canning of the Survival Prepping Camping section of the website are now posted. You can find these two (2) new pages under the 'Cooking' section in the navy colored drop down menu. There are lots of pictures of some various foods I have canned since February 3rd. LOL! There are lots more pictures than this and lots more pictures coming . . . like anything else I do . . I go wild and press on the gas and get 'er done. In other words, I get sh!t done, every single day. I never just sit on my thumbs.

When you get to this link, use the navy blue drop down menu and click on 'Cooking' to see the rest of the canning projects.

My plan during Mercury Retrograde is to take care of old business, which is what we 'should be' doing during Mercury Retrograde (Rx). So I will be spending all of my creative time over on my other website www.Pose-itivelyYoga.com and getting the Daily Horoscopes for each Sun Sign rockin' over there again, which will be completed TODAY, and adding more pictures, more asana (poses) and more useful information that YOU WILL NEED in order to handle the emotional and mental stress of what is coming down the pipe from the 666iden regime. Your gonna need it! You can check your Daily Horoscope over there sometime after 7:30 AM EDT.

Well here we are! The BIG NEWS today is Mercury in Taurus turns Retrograde (Rx) at 4:35 AM EDT until Sunday - May 14, 2023 at 11:17 PM EDT. If you have been coming to this website long enough, then you noticed at the bottom of each Daily Horoscope page since January 25, 2023 that I have been reminding you Mercury's Up-Coming Retrograde, which begins today, as well as prepping you to notice all of the other planets and when they turn retrograde (Rx).

But first, let's address the lunar line-up you see above. On the edges of this day, the Moon will begin and end with sextiles, thereby sandwiching the conjunctions in-between. Communication starts on a nice note, considering Mercury will turn retrograde 30 minutes later. But still, it's great energy coming into a retrograde. Traffic could be an issue and you can blame Mercury retrograde, but you can also avoid traffic by leaving early. Just because Mercury turns retrograde does not mean you just throw your arms in the air and give up. You make grown-up decisions and make adjustments and leave early.

The energy could easily shift with the wind and turn in another direction due to the Moon conjunct Uranus and the end will likely end up much different than you expected. As the day progresses, the energy turns Lovely, as Neptune is the higher octave of Venus, making it a great date night.

Mercury is the most popular retrograde planet and pretty much gets blamed for everything. You would think Saturn or Jupiter would get more attention during their retrograde period, but no, Mercury does. More excuses are used and blamed on Mercury when he does an about-face and heads off in the other direction.

You may have noticed from the home page and other recent Daily Horoscopes that all of the 'Transit Degree Calendars' are complete and posted on the home page and in the left side teal colored navigation column. Here is the link to Mercury in Taurus Transiting Degree Calendar so you can see the movement over a certain set of degrees three (3) times. Retrogrades ALWAYS roll over a certain set of degree three (3) times. No exceptions! Keep reading . . .

GET YOUR SOLAR RETURN! When the Sun 'Returns' to the same sign, degree and minute as when you were born

Fri. April 21, 2023 Mercury in Taurus Retrograde at 4:35 AM EDT until May 14, 2023

As a gentle reminder - Mercury Retrograde does not mean you cannot shop or spend money. What you SHOULD NOT shop for during Mercury Retrograde is anything that is electrical, a gadget, communication devices, automobiles or anything with a motor. You SHOULD NOT sign ANY new agreements or documents. This is because Mercury rules Gemini, which rules all of those things.

Also, you should NOT have any surgeries if you can help it because Mercury also rules Virgo, which rules physical health. Also, wait to schedule your doctor appointments until after Mercury Retrograde.

And so that I do not have to rewrite information that I just posted on Wednesday - April 19, 2023 with regard to 'The calm before the storm', I am simply reposting it. No need to rewrite something just to write something.

Folks, you have had plenty of time to feast your eyeballs on the 2023 Planetary Retrogrades. PLENTY OF TIME! I have had the Retrogrades Astro Meme posted on every single daily horoscope page since January 23, 2023 and it has been on every single Monthly Astro Meme page, as well as the bottom of the home page where all of the transiting action of the planets are located, meaning planets moving in and out of the signs, as well as the Fulls Moon and New Moons.

I have been calling your attention to the space in time between January 18, 2023 and April 20, 2023 where there were NO RETROGRADE planets. If you have been studying this 2023 Planetary Retrograde Astro Meme you should have noticed that nearly every single planet will turn retrograde soon. Mercury turning Retrograde kicks off retrograde season.

It is NOT UNUSUAL for Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto to move into 'retrograde season' during the late spring, summer and early fall. It's perfectly normal, as these planets retrograde every single year for several months (3 to 6 months in duration, but mostly 5 to 6 months in duration). THIS IS NORMAL.

Out of the personal planets - Mercury, Venus and Mars, it is also completely normal for Mercury to retrograde three (3) times a year. So it should not be a shocker to see Mercury in Retrograde motion just a handful of months after its last retrograde.

Mars retrogrades every other year, meaning two (2) years. Venus retrogrades every 18 months. So there ya' go.

So before you freak out this summer over so many planets retrograde, it's normal. What is not normal is for dang near every planet to be retrograde at the same time. The Sun NEVER retrogrades and neither does the Moon. Plus, the Sun is a Star and the Moon is a satellite and a luminary. They are not planets anyway, we just call them planets.

When planets turn retrograde we pretty much go into "Oh Sh!t" mode. Our attention gets called to those things we had not been paying that much attention to. So God gives us a 'do over'. God is so Good. Isn't that nice of Him. He gives us a second and third chance in our do-overs. We 'get to' do something over before progressing forward and we get to learn from our mistakes when we were not paying attention, which is usually a painful experience when the eyes come open and finally see what needed to be seen. Maybe you were busy playing with your phone and taking selfies.

So God is not only taking the masses and generations of people backward in time to do something over and get it right, but He is taking all of us backward on a personal level to do something over.

The retrograde blurb below pretty much advised you to press on the gas while all of the planets were in direct motion from January 18, 2023 until April 20, 2023, to get as much as you could completed and accomplished. Some of you may have just fiddle-farted around and complained about why you can't or maybe you just did the bare minimum.

Now see, there ya' go, that's free will for ya'. God gives us all 24 hours in a day and free will. Then He spanks us on the ass and pushes us out of the Universal Womb we'll call "Mom" and we have to fly, run, walk, crawl, heave and ho the rest of our lives. Some will bitch and complain the whole way why they can't and others will not know how to stop.

I know of a man who was a quadrapelgic and drove to work every day. He has since passed, but that man lived his Life and he worked it. Don't tell me you can't do it. You will do whatever you want at your own motivation, inspiration and level of self-discipline.

It's real hard for me to hear poor-me-syndrome and how you can't. You 'will' whatever you want or don't want. And I'm talking 'will' as in free will or 'will' as in will do or will not do.

Oh the whining that is coming down the pipe is going to be like nails on a chalkboard when all of these planets turn retrograde. Notice how the dates overlap each other. Mars is the only planet that will not be involved in the 'retrograde spree' because remember, Mars turned retrograde in the Fall of 2022 causing Mars to spend seven (7) months in Gemini. And the Moon and the Sun never retrograde, while the North and South Nodes are ALWAYS retrograde.

I was chatting with a client on Tuesday, and threw it out there to her and how she could take her side-hustle to the next level. Instead of it being a side-hustle, she was actually the expert who could teach others. Teach the teachers and bring them to the next level or teach others to become teachers. "Side-hustle my ass! You're an expert!"

The time period from January 18, 2023 until April 20, 2023 was a major prepartory space. I learned how to can (pressure cook and water bath), dehydrate and ferment food, and I went full on maximum effort and power with no rest in-between. I have done so much that I can now teach others with confidence.

So here we are sliding into Mercury Retrograde today at 4:35 AM EDT and then just a 1-1/2 weeks later Pluto will retrograde on May 1, 2023 and take us back into Capricorn on June 11, 2023. Then just a week later, Saturn in Pisces retrogrades, then Neptune in Pisces retrogrades . . . it's a domino affect. Are you ready? Or will you be one that slides into poor-me-syndrome and complains how you just can't.

We study astrology because it gives us a map on how to navigate the river ahead. IT'S A MAP! IT'S GOD'S GPS (God's Positioning System) and mankind has convinced you that their GPS (Global Positioning System) is better.

When I say that I am getting as much as I can accomplished and completed before Mercury turns Retrogrades that is exactly what I mean. I don't know about you, but I work my astrology and wear it out before it wears me out.

So that time period from January 18, 2023 until April 20, 2023 was the calm before the storm. Put your big boy and big girl britches on, "LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!"

As a side note, look at the list of 2023 Planetary Retrogrades to the right. Notice that as of January 18, 2023, there are NO PLANETS RETROGRADE up until April 21, 2023 when Mercury will Retrograde 'again'.

So you can expect a lot of awareness, quickness, steadfast forward change, from the masses as they begin to awaken from their slumber-fairy-dust-sleep. There's going to be a lot of, "Oh sh!t".

This is the time to press on the gas and cram as much productivity you can in a short period of time. Oh right up my alley. Cram 55 lbs. in a 5 lb. can.

Folks, it is time to put on your skates because it's a power play. All the skaters are on the ice and you have a chance to score some points with the Universe.

Remember the quote from Wayne Gretzky, the greatest hockey player of all time? "I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been."

Cram as much as you can and get as much accomplished as you can before April 21, 2023. We will take a look back then at today's writing when the time comes.
