The BIG NEWS today is the Sun in Leo quincunx's Pluto in Capricorn. Quincunx's are weird and uncomfortable energy. This is due to the 'distance' between the two (2) signs, much like an opposition. Oppositions are the furthest aspects at a 180 degree distance, whereas quincunx's are at a 150 degree distance. Quincunx energies pretty much have 'nothing' in common.

This explains why you and so-and-so have nothing in common, but yet there you are, together. Maybe you are siblings, maybe you are friends, maybe you are parent and child, maybe you work together. There is always a reason and its up to you to make the change or adjustment to make the relationship, situation, circumstance, workable.

A quincunx is not always about people relationships, I am just giving the relationship example because relationships are easiest to relate to when describing weird and uncomfortable energy. It's easy to say it's them, when it takes two (2) to make a quincunx.

A quincunx REQUIRES us to make a change or adjustment in order to integrate the energy. It requires that we actually do something. Don't just sit there, row the damn boat! Plug yourself in and GO!

"Pray to God and row to shore." -Indian Proverb

Quincunx's show us areas in our Life that are difficult to integrate. So why do we need to integrate if its difficult?

Well, anything that is easy is rarely satisfying or gratifying, much less gives us more knowledge. Difficulty, challenge, daring and questionable stuff makes us want to 'try it', therefore we learn, grow and develop our skills, talents and gifts. Difficulty is our nature, we can't help but make a bee-line toward a challenge.

So the challenge with the Sun and Pluto is integrating your own personal power. Now come on, we can all relate to that, right? Sun (identity, ego) and Pluto (power, ignition).

Quincunx's pretty much last only last two (2) days on either side of its exactness. So it's a quick response and integration time, no matter what planets are involved.

This aspect tells us that there is an issue coping with your own power. Are you having trouble saying, "Yes" or "No"? Which is it? What? Don't you trust yourself and your decisions?

The Sun is 'supposed to be' where we shine and its brave. It steps out there and tah-dahhhhhh. But the Sun quincunx Pluto lacks in assertion.

Remember, Pluto is the higher-octave of Mars, which is assertive and aggressive. Pluto takes this assertion and aggression to a higher-level. So this aspect lacks in this energy and leaves you without a sense of direction because you have NOT integrated your personal power.

Folks, its time to step-up, plug yourself in and create a sense of direction for yourself.

Example - back in 1999 when this website was called something else, I was kinda-sorta-somewhat-foggy-clear, which is Good enough for me to start something, about what I wanted to do with the website.

In my Gemini-mind(s), if I start it, I can tweak, develop, change, roll with it, grow, expand and integrate as I go along.

Once I start, it's already done because I kinda-sorta-somewhat-foggy-clear know what I want to do. The rest will come.

"If you build it they will come." If you don't build it, they don't come. It's pretty easy to figure that one out. Duhhhh!

So as I started building the website, and within probably a week, it dawned on me that if someone came to my website today, why would they come back tomorrow? If they read what I had on it yesterday, why come back today if they already read it, and then tomorrow?

I quickly realized that I need a traffic generator and fresh content daily. That was quite a committment on my part back then, but folks, ya' gotta Love it, whatever 'it' is or familiar contempt sets in. Thank God Astrology is different every single day or I would have reached burnout a month after I started.

That is when I added horoscopes to the website. I had intended to write daily horoscopes. Then one day someone asked if I could write their chart. I thought, "What a great idea!" Of course I could write the chart. Then one day someone asked if I could do a reading. I thought, "What a great idea!"

Folks, short story shorter, all I had to do was build it and the ideas would come. So when I get an idea, I do not kick it around, down the lane, or to the curb. I roll with it. If it doesn't work, I can stop . . . but what if it does work? Ah-HA! I plugged myself in- and in-tegrated.

Incidentally, two (2) of my favorite prefixes are in- and en-. I talk about that in my yoga classes sometimes. In-hale, en-joy, in-tuition, enLighten, in-tegrate.
