Mercury in Aries conjunct Saturn in Aquarius at exactly 8:37 AM EDT where it began in applying degrees on April 5, 2022, it is exact today, and will last in separating degrees until April 9, 2022.

The Moon in Cancer trine Venus in Pisces at 4:20 PM EDT. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

The BIG NEWS today is Mercury sextiles Saturn at 8:37 AM EDT and is set on getting down to work. Keep in mind, this energy has been present since April 5th and will last until April 9th. It's a Good idea to ALWAYS read ahead on the Monthly Astro Memes to see what energies are coming into the 'orb of influence'. Now remember from yesterday's Daily Horoscope, sextiles make us smile and trines are Divine.

Do not run scared and roll up into a corner because Saturn shows up on the scene. Saturn is NOT the big bad bully that he has been made out to be. Saturn will only take off his belt and whap your ass if you need it. Do you need it? Even if you did need it, Saturn does not feel like whapping asses today because he's in a sextile (smile) to Mercury (communication).

Since Saturn is involved we should immediately think - discipline, responsibility and maturity. Saturn also rules long-term committments, time and longevity, which is Good reason why it is a Good thing to get married or sign important documents or contracts during a strong and stable Saturn aspect because it will have - continuation, durability, endurance, long-term service, potency, perpetuity, seniority, survival and vitality. Oh I LOVE those words, continuation and perpetuity when Saturn is in Good aspect (like this), but I do not like those words for Saturn when he is in a bad aspect. YIKES! Saturn also rules 'father time'.

Having said all of that, whatever you are doing with this aspect, you will want long-lasting results. For instance, if you are fixing something or shopping for a replacement, you will want a product that will stand the test of time. [Keep reading . . . ]

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

Thu. Apr. 7, 2022 Applying degrees begin April 5, 2022 Exact on Apr. 7, 2022 at 8:37 AM EDT Separating degrees end on April 9, 2022

Marriages that take place during a sweet Saturn aspect like this will 'stand the test of time'. So you see, Saturn is not such a bad guy, he is only treated that way, which is a bummer. I will always recommend getting married during a wonderful Saturn aspect because Saturn will hang in there come hell or high water. He's in it for the long-haul. So you can see how a well-placed Saturn aspect would be Good for a first date or to start a new job.

Saturn is serious and has a grown-up voice, which you may hear in the 'tone of voice' (Mercury), either yours or someone else's during this Mercury sextile Saturn aspect.

Mercury is the tinkerer and Saturn is looking for long-term solutions. This is the absolute best time to 'fix' things around the house or fix something that is not working for you in your Life. FIX IT! For the most part, that simply means STOP DOING THAT STUPID THING! Right? Stop acting that way, stop doing that thing, stop causing yourself trouble. For God's sake . . . GROW UP! That's Saturn.

Think of the things you say to your kids, or that you would like to say to young people, having already learned a few lessons from the School of Hard Knocks. So a really great way to handle this aspect is to simply stop doing stupid shit and Life will flow so much easier. In other words, FIX IT . . . AND STOP DOING STUPID SHIT. That's a form of 'fix it.' It's not rocket science folks.

Now let's think ahead. We will not encounter a cruddy hard Saturn aspect until Sunday - May 15, 2022, which is the Sun square Saturn. That's the aspect of the 'sour disposition'.

Why not prepare right now and fix that damn thing, whatever that damn thing is, so when the Sun squares Saturn you are not adopting a sour disposition thinking, "Why me?" because remember, Saturn will only take off his belt and whap you ass if you need it.

Prepare now, to not need that whap when that square rolls into town. That aspect will come into applying degrees on May 7, 2022 and will last until May 24, 2022. Just a head's up folks!

This means some of you will likely have to learn the hard way because you will have the Sun squaring Saturn in your 2022 Solar Return. So I'm going to fire a warning shot and advise you to use these Good aspects of Saturn to FIX IT so that you make your Sun square Saturn experience a lot better and kinder to yourself.
