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

Mercury in Leo sextile Mars in Libra at 1:33 AM EDT.

The Moon in Gemini sextile the Sun in Leo at 7:53 AM EDT.

The Moon in Gemini moves into Cancer at 3:05 PM EDT.

The Moon in Cancer square Saturn Rx in Aries at 4:33 PM EDT.

The Moon in Cancer square Neptune in Aries at 5:57 PM EDT.

The Moon in Cancer quincunx Pluto in Aquarius at 6:34 PM EDT.

Well, here we are again, as we roll right into the second Mercury in Leo sextile Mars in Libra aspect within four (4) days of the last one. This is because Mercury is still working on getting back up to its normal speed after having been retrograde. Sure, he has been 'direct' since last Monday, August 11, 2025, but it takes a Good solid two (2) weeks before he is rolling at his usual quick clip. So, here we are again.

This day is also loaded with hard lunar aspects, making the second half of this day especially emotionally hard. Not only is the Moon hitting two (2) tough squares and a quincunx this afternoon, it's moving out of Gemini and into over-emotional and hyper-sensitive Cancer. If you use this energy for intuition more than over-reaction, then it should work out pretty well. If you step into over-emotion and hyper-sensitivity, then someone will likely end up in tears before this day ends.

Now for some reason the Universe is giving us this information TWICE WITHIN FOUR (4) DAYS of the last time it hit. This means we need to sit up in our chair and pay attention.

Mercury sextile Mars is the mark of the quick learner or the quick study. Mercury says, "I think therefore I am" and Mars is making things happen quickly and efficiently in the sign of Libra, law, justice and fairness. Think of Washington D.C. with this aspect. Law and order is occurring at Lightning speed, whether you are in favor of law and order or not. Too bad. It's on!

The best part of this aspect is that it is capable of making a decision. Not everyone at anytime can make a decision. Pulling the pin and making a decision comes hard for some people.

Mercury sextile Mars says what it means and means what it says. This aspect is a great calculater, planner, stategizer and organizer. If you need to make plans that will actually stick, this is the aspect you want. This aspect thinks things through. Keep reading, a little more . . .

This aspect gets the job done and does it well because mental preparation is the foundation, something the rash thinker does not do. This aspect calculates, strategizes and plans. It is also great for speaking, writing and getting the point across. Study is different than just thinking about something and thinking about it quickly. This aspect learns, masters and applies.

Keep in mind, Mercury rules both Gemini (the communicator) and Virgo (the analyzer), so get ready to have your posts, comments and words scrutinized and criticized. Do your fact checking first because you will be fact-checked.

I don't believe a lot of ANYTHING, especially 'the oversell'. Overselling something in presentation, speech, bragging, make-up, etc., will automatically get me wondering, What are you hiding? or Why are you trying so hard to sell me on that?

What I'm saying is, the combination of Mercury and Mars will get people studying what you said or how you present yourself and quite possibly get them asking questions that you didn't want asked. PEOPLE ARE STUDYING WHAT THEY SEE AND HEAR RIGHT NOW. Got it? Including studying you. So if you want to make a BIG DEAL about you, go for it.

This is also an aggressive aspect that will take charge and make plans for you and everyone else. If you don't speak up, then plan on someone else making plans for you. This aspect will also separate the leaders from the followers because Mars in Leo is involved.

Mercury sextile Mars is also a game player in Life and really enjoys deep complicated puzzles, which is something they can study and get more involved in. Any games that require skill and mental agility, such as chess will fall under this aspect. As many of you know, there is a major 5D Chess game occurring with PRESIDENT Trump, if you can keep up. I won't elaborate for those who won't study. Do your own homework!

My Scorpion King and I ALWAYS have a chess game going. Sometimes we have to adjourn and come back to the game the next day, but our chessboard always has a game in play. Chess keeps the white and gray matter (in your brain) healthy, as gray and white matter actually have different roles. Keep your brains healthy folks and give your brain a challenge every single day. We sure do!

Math skills are also present. This is the mark of the statistician, technician and mathematician. It's the left brain at work with this aspect. If you don't like chess, then maybe checkers, backgammon or some other board game will rock your white and gray matter world.

Mercury sexile Mars gets the job done and does it well because mental preparation is the foundation.

RED FONT ADDENDUM - have you been preparing for the New Moon in Virgo at 00 degrees on Saturday, August 23, 2025? I have been reminding you here and there about this New Moon. Virgo rules physical health, activities of daily living (ADLs), which have to do with grooming, mobility, bathing, dressing, toileting, eating and other activities that give you an independent Life. Think of ADLs as anything that an occupational therapist would help you achieve if it were needed.

Virgo naturally rules the 6th house of dietary needs, Lifestyle, nutrition, fitness, hygiene and comfort in living. Virgo also rules herbs, health food and cooking your own food as would a cook or a chef. Virgo also rule public health. So you see, this New Moon in Virgo is the 'Picture of Health' and it is the perfect time for you to pay closer attention to your health and get yourself back on a fitness routine.

Virgo is also the sign that absolutely has to participate in Life. Virgo has a tendency to read 'mastery books' or 'self help books' and then put the book back on the shelf without really adopting the information into real Life practice. Virgo is REQUIRED to go into the lab, and do the work, or the experiment. Virgo HAS TO participate. This means when you read the mastery or self help book, put it into daily practice.

I always get us geared up for this New Moon weeks in advance. Did you know that Virgo rules the colon and the entire alimentary canal. The alimentary canal runs from the tip of your tongue to your anus. The alimentary canal is responsible for the absorption and digestion of food and liquid. The organs within the alimentary canal include the mouth (tongue), pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine.

This is the best time for detox's and colon cleanses. As a North Node Virgo (myself) I used to do colonics in my former clinic. I also use to have a holistic pharmacy in my clinic, so my patients would be set up on a herbal regimen and a dietary plan along with a colonic schedule, along with Ayurvedic practices like oil pulling, skin brushing and using a neti pot. I would teach my patients about the 'Pair of Opposites' as well as the the 'The 13 Natural Urges'. You can read more about 'The 10 Gunas' aka 'Pair of Opposites, The 13 Natal Urges' and more Ayurveda on my other website www.Pose-itivelyYoga.com, it looks like Positively, but it's Pose-itively with a hyphen.

And folks, if you are doing colon cleansing, then you must avoids foods that are hard to digest and/or that cause bloating and gas, such as meat, legumes, cruciferous vegetables, alcohol, wheat and heavy man-made processed food, as well as avoiding spicy foods. A vegetarian diet and high fiber is best while colon cleansing along with a probiotic supplementation and massive amounts of water.

Cruciferous vegetables are - broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, and kale, as well as less common ones like arugula, bok choy, and radishes.

Since the skin is the largest organ of the body (it sure is) as it protects, absorbs, secretes and insulates, then skin brushing, bathing and moisturizing are very important as well.

Get your plan ready folks, because this New Moon in Virgo is THE PERFECT kick off to your new and improved healthy Lifestyle. There is another New Moon in Virgo on September 21, 2025 where the New Moon hits again but that one is at 29 degrees, which is at the very tailend of Virgo since the New Moon is when the Moon and the Sun are in the same degree and minute. So you see, that September 21, 2025 New Moon is NOT THE SAME as this New Moon in Virgo at 00 degrees. HUGE DIFFERENCE!

At 2 to 2-1/2 lbs. per week, it is very easy to shed weight long before Thanksgiving or New Year's Day even gets here. New Year's is NOT the time to get the healthy Lifestyle going as that is just a date on the calendar, it's the New Moon in Virgo that is the time to get control of your health and healthy Lifestyle.

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.
