I welcome sharing my writing, links, quotes and Astro Memes,
but copying and passing off my work as ones own, is plagarism!
Big difference!

The Moon in Pisces trine Venus in Cancer at 1:12 AM EDT.

The Moon in Pisces trine Jupiter in Cancer at 2:55 AM EDT.

The Moon in Pisces quincunx the Sun in Leo at 12:10 PM EDT.

Saturn Rx in Aries sextile Uranus in Gemini at 11:32 PM EDT.

The BIG NEWS today is Mercury in Leo turns 'Direct', which means it is no longer 'Retrograde' (Rx). Also in BIG NEWS is Saturn Rx in Aries sextiles Uranus in Gemini.

Now folks, we will now be in the 'post retrograde shadow period' coming out of retrograde status, which is right at two (2) weeks, which means it will take that long for Mercury to get back up to speed, and back to the degree that Mercury was at when it first retrograded back on July 18, 2025. Let's do a quick review. The visual will help.

June 30, 2025 - Mercury in Leo was at 04 degrees 21 minutes. The pre-retrograde shadow begins.

July 18, 2025 - Mercury in Leo began its Retrograde (Rx) at 15 degrees 34 minutes.

August 11, 2025 - Mercury in Leo turned Direct (D) at 04 degrees 21 minutes. Same degree it was at on June 30, 2025.

August 25, 2025 - Mercury in Leo at 15 degrees 34 minutes. The post-retrograde shadow ends. Same degree it was at on July 18, 2025.

Back on July 18, 2025 when Mercury turned Retrograde (Rx) I wrote to you, "This Mercury Retrograde event is taking us back to June 30, 2025. What was going on around that time that this Universe is taking you (us) back to that date for a do-over?"

So here we are at 04 degrees 21 minutes as Mercury turns Direct. Mercury is back to the same degree and minute it was at on June 30, 2025. We are taking off from that point 'again' leading up to 15 degrees 34 minutes where Mercury was when it retrograded on July 18, 2025. Getting back to that point (15 degrees 34 minutes) will finally be on August 25, 2025.

Take these two (2) weeks from now until then, to think about yourself, your Life, your energy and how you throw your chi' (energy). Who are you?

Think about Leo in this way, Leo is the sign of 'growth and development', which is also ruled by the Sun, and everything gravitates and leans toward the Sun. Okay, things like negative phototropism (plant roots) do not grow toward the Sun, but you get my point, right? The stems, leaves, flowers and branches grow toward the Sun. Most things grow and lean toward the Sun. Leo is the sign of 'growth and development'. What have you learned grasshopper? What have you and your ego learned during this time.

Mercury has been in Leo this whole time from the start of Mercury's pre-shadow phase, all the way to the end of its post-shadow phase. On August 25, 2025 Venus will enter Leo and then Venus will trine Saturn. Those who 'earned' this energy will reap what they sowed.

Those who just couldn't manage to 'grow and improve' during this time, or couldn't lay down their ego and learn a little somethin' somethin' about Life may find Venus trine Saturn skip right over them until the next time. Just because an aspect or transit is present for our Goodness does not mean we will receive it or that we earned it. Try again later I suppose.

Also present today is Saturn sextile Uranus, the aspect of 'the original'. You can decorate and style yourself in the latest fad, but that does not make you 'the original'. It makes you trendy and a follower. The original, is the original. Be yourself, the world will adjust.

Saturn sextile Uranus has a unique ability to bring new ideas (Uranus) to old long-standing structures (Saturn). As I wrote to you back on April 4, 2025 when this aspect last presented itself on the scene, "Get use to it folks because we are not going back. The old establishment is OUT! It is OUT! O.U.T. OUT! Out with the old (past Saturn) and in with the new (future Aquarius). That is EXACTLY how this aspect works. Get use to it!"

I also wrote to you, "The last time we saw this pattern (3x) with Saturn sextile Uranus was back on May 19, 1996, November 10, 1996, and March 1, 1997. What were you doing back then?"

As I look back on those dates for myself, that was when I was coming into who I am today (DrStandley.com) as I started this website in 1999. See copyright at top and bottom of every page on this website. I was coming into and laying the groundwork for being 'original' here on DrStandley.com. In fact, during those earlier dates in 1996, I was making plans to do my externship at Massachusetts General Hospital in Neuroradiology (medical teaching institution for Harvard University) in Boston, and I was there doing that externship on that third date March 1, 1997. See, I'm not just some far-out, lost and wacky astrologer. I'm pretty grounded in the sciences.

It's hard to believe that freedom would be associated with Saturn, but since it has an ancient history with Aquarius, the Lover of freedom, this double-dose of Aquarian energy represents True freedom because the structure and self-discipline is present to support such a high level of freedom and liberation.

I also wrote to you back in April 2025, "We will actually see this sextile two (2) more times within six (6) months of each other - on August 12, 2025 and January 20, 2026 as Saturn and Uranus come to the end of their transit in Pisces and Taurus and change signs into Aries and Gemini (August 12, 2025), then back to Pisces and Taurus again (January 20, 2026). That will be due to a Retrograde when you see three (3) passes like that. April 4, 2025, August 12, 2025 and January 20, 2026."

It's going to be a while before we see Saturn sextile Uranus again. That will be 2038, 2039, 2070 and 2071, 2086 and 2087. So you see, Saturn sextile Uranus is fairly rare. What are you going to do?

I have been talking to those 'super dooper' close to me about me taking my work to the next level. It is precisely this aspect that is causing me to rattle my own cage AGAIN, like I did back then. Back then I was one of the first to begin using the internet to reach out to the masses and start doing 'health consultations' over the phone.

Here I am again, rattling my own cage. I know how I am, and I know how I get. I will not be waiting until 2038 and 2039 to level up, I'm pretty ready now. So you can look forward to that. But back to you, what are you going to do, as the original. After all, there is only one of you.

Even identical twins are not the same, as they are entirely different spirits, they have different fingerprints, Life exposures and different experiences, disease susceptibility and so much more.

Folks, there really is only one you - unique, odd, original, unusual, rare, specific, special and one-of-a-kind. You really don't have to try so damn hard to be different. YOU ALREADY ARE DIFFERENT!!!

In all of the trendy, fad, vogue and popular styles you find yourself 'following', none of them will be as unique and original as yourself. Think about it. Being trendy really just shows your own psychology. It kinda makes you an easy read. Where people like me can read you without even looking at your birth date. Just sayin'. You can lash, nail, wig, eyebrow, lip, handbag, shoe and tattoo yourself all you want, that's just decoration, but underneath it all, is the original you. No one is, has been, or will be, the original you.

Heck, even in yoga, we know 'the pose' is just circus. Yoga is the meditation. Can you get into a pose and still hold your focus and balance? YOGA IS NOT ABOUT THE POSE! The pose, as Patanjali teaches us, "is just circus". It's not what goes on, on the outside of ourselves that is important, it's what goes on, on the inside of ourselves that is important.

I will absolutely guarantee you this, underneath all of that exterior, is the real you with talents, skills, ideas, thoughts, and creativity that is un-dang-matchable to anyone else, and yet, it is wasted on time spent looking like the next person. Leo. The ego. It's a tough thing to manage, grow and develop, but we must.

Saturn sextile Uranus, the original. Are you going to level up or sit this one out and wait until 2038 and 2039? I have not been sitting this one out, I've been grinding some gears. You'll see.

If you received an 'Ah-ha' from this write-up, please consider supporting my 'original content' and buying ME a coffee. You might say, "One awakening (horoscope) for another awakening (coffee)". What a wonderful exchange of chi' and express gratitude.
