OPENING NOTE - At this point, I really do not think I should have to ask for my work to be shared. I work really really really hard for you . . so what I am going to do this weekend is open up FULLY the automated ads so you can see for yourself what I give up every single day to make your experience on the website clear of ads covering the space. Website owners and developers do have control over this, no matter what they tell you. I want you to see that this website gives up a lot to deliver content that you can actually read. I think you need to see it for yourself. I'll let this ride for a couple of days. I carry a very minimal amount of ads for a reason, so that you can see the content you came to read. I think a little bit of awareness might be in order.

Interesting! What a day for Venus to sextile Neptune. Hang with me folks because I'm going to go deep with this aspect. This aspect began in applying (approaching degrees) on April 4, 2023 and it will last in separating degrees, as the two (2) planets pull away from each other until April 11, 2023 when the aspect is no longer 'influential'.

I say this is interesting because today is 'Good Friday'. It's Good and happy if you know how the story ends (the Biblical story), but it is 'not so' Good if we are fully in the moment of what happened back on that fateful day (Biblical account). There's nothing GOOD about this day, but we call it Good because of the 'Ultimate Sacrifice' that was made. Again, we know how the story ends, which brings us peace and comfort.

I liken this to an example of when you are in remembrance of a Loved one's passing. The day they passed and how they passed. The circumstances surrounding their passing. These scenes in our lives hurt and we are not 'celebrating' and doing the happy dance. No. We are mournful, quiet, reflective, and our mind sobers up and entertains the 'what ifs'.

Venus sextile Neptune is in its own little world of illusion as it is the 'Polly Anna disposition', which cannot see anything but wonderful, Lovely and positive energy. This aspect is also romantic, artistic, imaginative and gentle. It makes for a sweet spirit with soft under and overtones. Who doesn't Love a person who is the 'Polly Anna'? This makes it easy to form relationships as this aspect has Good manners, social grace and a friendly approachable personality. While this aspect is overly-optimistic, it will be necessary to keep expectations within realistic boundaries. Keep reading . . .

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

Fri. April 7, 2023 Applying degrees begin April 4, 2023 Exact on April 7, 2023 at 1:58 PM EDT Separating degrees end on April 11, 2023

Thank God, this is what the world needs now, and that is Love sweet Love. Keep in mind that Neptune is the higher octave of Venus, which not only rules personal finances, but committed relationships. This aspect is super artistic, musical and creative. If you have run into a problem where you feel stuck creatively, this aspect will probably get you motivated again giving you idea after idea. Since Neptune is involved, it would be a great time to meditate on your creativity, ideas, projects and what could possibly be coming up next for you. DO NOT rush the process.

Be contemplative, be meditative, be reflective.

Venus sextile Neptune is optmistic 'all the time', which always seems to find the silver lining in the darkest cloud. And on this day of all days, back in Biblical times, the sky grew dark, the Earth shook, the veil of the temple splits in half and the rocks and tombs broke open. It was a very very very dark time in our history. It is 'our history'.

The Bible says, on this day, "In the 6th house (Noon) the sky grew dark and stayed that way until the 9th house (3:00 PM)." Back in those days, 'Jewish hours' began at the 6:00 AM, not our 12:00 AM as we know today. So the 6th Jewish hour was 12:00 PM and the 9th Jewish hour was 3:00 PM.

So here we are, 2023 years into our future and on this day, in our dark times now, we arrive on this date we call 'Good Friday' because we know how the story ends. We know that Jesus died on the cross in the 9th Jewish hour (3:00 PM) today. It's a sad day, not a happy dance day. Not yet. That's on Sunday, Easter, when He rises from the dead. But today, it's a mournful day, like it is when we remember those that we Love who have journeyed on to be with Jesus. As a Christian, that's the goal in Life. The goal is not to scratch and crawl to stay here, the goal is to scratch and crawl to get there. Some Christians are more committed to that goal than others. Myself, I'm pretty committed to scratching and crawling to get there.

So again, this day, 2023 years later in these dark times with the 'resident 666iden regime' and regimes like this all over the world robbing God's children of their personal freedoms that He gave them . . . God is giving us a gentle reminder and definite peace and comfort, and that is the Venus sextile Neptune (Polly Anna) who sees the silver lining in the cloud.

Now folks, this aspect DOES NOT mean sit back and relax. You know the ol' Proverb that I quote ALL THE TIME and that is 'Pray to God and row to shore.' In other words, don't just sit there, keep praying while you are rowing the damn boat.

I am VERY VERY HOPEFUL knowing that God presents us with this aspect today, of all days, while some people run around with no idea what this day really means saying, "Happy Good Friday!" No it's not! That's like walking up to someone and saying, "Smile and be happy, you're Loved one died!" How's that make you feel?

Still, I am VERY VERY HOPEFUL that we were given this aspect today. I find it SIGNIFICANT that God would provide us with this aspect during such bleak, dark and fascinating times where we are just jaw-dropped over nearly everything. And sadly, a lot of people blow off most of the jaw-droppy stuff as, "Oh that's just . . ."

Venus sextile Neptune reminds me of making lemonade out of lemons. I'm certain this aspect had to be present when lemonade was created for the first time. Even when times get tough, this aspect may sink for all of about 5 minutes and then get back up again and get its groovy on. This aspect is friendly, happy and probably needs to set some boundaries because it is a little bit naive and a little 'too' friendly. Yes that is possible, to be too friendly. It can also be a little too trusting and a bit child-like, like THAT 'too friendly'. And extra-watch your naive and polly anna children around strangers who are 'TOO FRIENDLY'.

Having said that, folks remember who got stabbed in the front last night by one of His friends. Yeah! Jesus! On Holy Thursday night, that's when Judas stabbed Jesus in the front, greeted Him with a kiss, identifying Him as 'the one' to be arrested. So today Jesus, on Good Friday, Jesus is under arrest, and He will be beaten, whipped, scourged and then hung on a cross to die. Another friend (Peter) who He trusts will deny that he even knew Him three (3) times. Have you ever researched what a crucifixion does to a person? Research that. It's a very slow and painful death.

See, there's nothing Good about today 'Good Friday', especially when we pretend as though we don't know that He has indeed risen. Again, we know how the story ends, but 'what if' we didn't know the end? Even knowing the end of the story, it is still a painful and dark day in our history of humanity. And you think you had a bad day or have it hard? That was a bad day. Imagine how His mother felt.

God drops into our 2023 Good Friday the aspect of Venus sextile Neptune, which is pure and hopeful Light. It does say, "Don't worry, be happy." It does provide us some promise that everything will be okay, but it does not mean that what occurred back then, did not occur, or what is going to occur, is not going to occur in our future. It will. Some things have to happen in order for the most amount of people to 'get the get', meaning the understanding.

Some people just don't get it until their keys are taken away, until their money is taken away, or until a Loved one is taken away. DANG! Why does it take so much to 'get the get'?

P.S. - At this point, I really do not think I should have to ask for my work to be shared. I work really really really hard for you . . so what I am going to do this weekend is open up FULLY the automated ads so you can see for yourself what I give up every single day to make your experience on the website clear of ads covering the space. Website owners and developers do have control over this, no matter what they tell you. I want you to see that this website gives up a lot to deliver content that you can actually read. I think you need to see it for yourself. I'll let this ride for a couple of days. I carry a very minimal amount of ads for a reason, so that you can see the content you came to read. I think a little bit of awareness might be in order.

I want you to notice that I am pressing on the gas in 'prep yo ass' mode. I not only press, suggest and advise you to prep, but I want you to visually see that I too am prepping. And when I say PREP, this is not only to mean in the survival instinct way, it is in all ways.

Folks, every last one of us will be challenged in 2023 in a hard way as you will be able to see in your Solar Returns. Around the 3-month mark before my next Solar Return, I become hyper-aware and PREP.

Remember back in the day, and I'm talking way back, this was very early in the creation of this website, when I was writing charts, I was snail-mailing them. This website was created in 1999. That was a lot of paper to mail as there was no way to email such big files, especially locking them in as a pdf file so that the astrology symbols did not turn to keyboard symbols.

Then in one of my Solar Returns, I can't remember which year, I was going to have this incredibly busy summer and Mercury was involved, which meant communication, clerical, office type, etc., work would have me juggling out of my mind. That's when I decided to put the charts on CD and I was emailing the charts that way. I would not have thought of putting the charts on CD had it not been for reading ahead in my Solar Return. This was YEARS before I started writing Solar Returns for you. I think I started writing Solar Returns for you in 2017.

Anyway, this is why it is important to read ahead. Looking at my 2023 Solar Return, I see where and when the timing of being challenged will be. There are ALWAYS challenges in each Solar Return, that's the information I want . . and yeah, I want to know what is easy as well.

Fast forward . . as a result, I am hyper-aware of my time and I have a pretty Good idea of what the Scorpion King and I will be doing this Summer, which means I will be challenged to get my work completed. Well, as you can see, I am on the case.

As of yesterday, I finished inserting the applying and separating degrees on the May 2023 Astro Memes and then I also posted the June 2023 Astro Memes (of which the applying and separating degrees are not yet posted on June), but the Memes are there. You will notice a 'new' Astro Meme in May and a couple of 'new' Astro Memes in June. This is because I had not started including quincunx's in the Daily Horoscopes until last fall, nor was I creating 'quincunx' Astro Memes until last Fall. This is why you are starting to see some 'new' Astro Memes as we are now running into some quincunx's that I had not previously dived into. One day I decided to start writing them into the daily horoscopes and the rest is history.

P.S. - Remember, there are no planets Retrograde right now until April 21, 2023. GOOOOO! Press on the gas. Read below as a reminder.

P.S.S - At this point, I really do not think I should have to ask for my work to be shared. I work really really really hard for you . . so what I am going to do this weekend is open up FULLY the automated ads so you can see for yourself what I give up every single day to make your experience on the website clear of ads covering the space.

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.
