Big difference!

The BIG NEWS today is Venus in Leo squares Jupiter in Taurus and Mars in Virgo opposes Neptune in Pisces.

This is the second time in a little over two (2) months that Venus squared Jupiter, which is pretty much the only square that is not such a challenging aspect. In other words, if there is any square that could be Good, this is that square.

Venus square Jupiter last occurred on Sunday - June 11, 2023. I really encourage you to go back and re-read that Daily Horoscope because June 11, 2023 was the same day Pluto re-entered Capricorn after being in Aquarius since March 25, 2023 (the first time). Pluto will re-enter Aquarius on January 20, 2024 until September 1, 2024 for the second time before it re-enters Aquarius on November 18, 2024 for the third and final time for the next 18-1/2 years. Hang with me folks, while I unravel this thread of thought.

Venus square Jupiter has a little too much fun. In fact, it can become so self-involved in its desire to have fun that it is no longer paying attention to the world around it. The world can be crumbling around Venus square Jupiter while it's partying-down and skippity-doo-dah'ing along. While this aspect is fun, it could cost you. This aspect is so self-centered that it is extravagant before its time and can lead to self-indulgence in the worst way. Basically, this aspect is a traveling party just looking for a place to land. Make certain you get your work completed before you run off with the circus (friends) or spend money that is meant for bills.

This aspect can and will produce carelessness in matters associated with Venus (Love and beauty) or finances since Venus rules both, if in fact you are not careful. Too much is taken for granted. This could also cause you to squander money, while not appreciating the value of a buck. You may be very extravagant in both your affections and your finances, finding it difficult to manage both. What ends up occurring is reckless behavior wasting your own money and other people's time.

As far as Solar Returns go, back in June, this aspect covered birth dates from May 30, 2023 until June 24, 2023. This time around, the aspect covers birth dates from August 9, 2023 until September 29, 2023. In all, this aspect caught 3/4 of Gemini's, a few days of Cancer's, 3/4 of Leo's, ALL Virgo's, and about a week of Libra's. Hang with me folks, while I continue to unravel this thread of thought.

Back on June 11, 2023 Mercury entered Gemini on this same date, which sounded the whistle for the whistleblowers. Mercury naturally rules Gemini, so back then Mercury was in hits home placement with cogwheels churning, the ear was to the ground, as the puzzles and mindbenders of conspiracy theory and whistleblowers took center stage.

Now during this go-around of Venus square Jupiter, Mercury is in Virgo. Mercury ALSO naturally rules Virgo. Mercury is the co-ruler of Gemini and Virgo. So Gemini was in its 'home' placement back on June 11, 2023 and it is in its 'home' placement now.

Tue. August 22, 2023 Applying degrees begin August 9, 2023 Exact on at 8:16 AM EDT Separating degrees end on Sept. 29, 2023

Tue. August 22, 2023 Applying degrees begin August 7, 2023 Exact on at 4:34 PM EDT Separating degrees end on Sept. 6, 2023

This round of Mercury is in the sign of Virgo, which brings out the details. Back on June 11, 2023 the body was situating itself so it could hear. It was listening. The whistleblowers were coming out of the woodwork. The outer ear that you see on the outside of the head is called the 'auricle or pinna'. The auricle acts like a funnel and directs sound further into the ear. In other words, the auricle catches sound waves, amplifies the sound waves and funnels the sound into the ear canal and to the tympanic membrane (eardrum). Now the ear (Mercury in Virgo) will extract the details of what it heard.

Not everyone who is experiencing Venus square Jupiter in their 2023 Solar Return is going to party-on and forget the whistleblowers. In fact, a lot of the Venus square Jupiter crowd will pull their world in tighter to self-protect, self-insulate, self-defend and self-assure. That's how self-involved and self-absorbed this aspect can get. Those who prove to be difficult, trouble, petty, paltry, or dramatic, to those with this aspect in their 2023 Solar Return will simply be left behind as there is the reality-check of "Oh sh!t, I need to take care of my world because there is no time or room for petty or drama." Seriously! This is no time to be a grown-up baby!

This day is also accompanied by Mars opposing Neptune, which is in search for the lies. Get it? It's not searching for the Truth, it is searching for the lies. We now know how easy it is to find the lies because as the MSM (main stream media) feeds us what they are told to feed us as Truth, now we know that is the pile where we dig to find the lie.

Mars opposing Neptune is absolutely OUT OF CONTROL!!! Sex, drugs, alcohol, violence, debauchery, depression, psychosomatic illness, hypochondriac, etc. All sense of reason is lost. It's all out there and now we can see it! Keep in mind this aspect came into the 'orb of influence' on August 7, 2023 and will last until September 6, 2023. That's a lot of birth dates that will have this aspect in their 2023 Solar Return, while Venus square Jupiter is present. Self-control will need to be practiced like habitual-ritual in order to keep from losing oneself.

Mars is aggressive and typically hard to control, while Neptune takes us into the unconscious realm and dream state. This can lead to decisions without much thought. The knee-jerk reaction or reflexive action can be so aggressive that it could turn violent. This kind of quick action doesn't leave much room for the individual to consider what motivated them to react in such a way. With Neptune involved, it is probably deep-seated (seeded).

Mars opposing Neptune is hard to relate to others emotionally. This makes one susceptible to deceit and becoming involved in misdeals. EEEK! Folks, keep your Lights on and by that I mean stay awake as in alert and watchful. Stay vigilant because these are trying times and the dark forces are just aching to get you on their side if you become angry, insecure, jealous, scared, desperate, frustrated, envious or any other agitated emotion. You will be a target when you stagger down the angry, mad and always upset path.

This aspect can be very problematic because the emotions are simply out of touch on both ends of the spectrum. The emotions are distorted either too aggressively or too passively. Unless you have a stable influence of Mercury, Uranus or solid-functioning Saturn, then this aspect can be downright dangerous because the unconscious mind is not tapped for reasoning. This actually looks Good for the whistleblowers who are exposing the OBVIOUS LIES.

Mars is a planet that is heavily involved in sex, so wild imaginations with sex (intercourse) or wild imaginations such as infidelity or accusations of such are likely. This is most certainly NOT the aspect to engage in bad or sneaky sexual behavior because the chances of getting caught are strong. YOU WILL GET CAUGHT! This includes sending sex laced e-mails, texts, taking pictures or meeting in person for a sexual liaison. It's all just WRONG and does not work well with Venus square Jupiter. This is NOT the same as it was back on June 11, 2023.

Those who are not wrapped up and obsessed with sexual gratification may be caught up with the obsession of drugs or alcohol. Neptune cannot handle chemicals (drugs or alcohol), so Neptune opposing Mars is a very bad combination to feed the body chemicals. That includes SHOTS/VACCINES!

Those with this aspect in their Solar Return who have chemical dependency will experience trouble with aspect, such as DUI's (driving under the influence) or waking up next to someone they don't know still under the influence. Drugs and alcohol will not recover well under this aspect.

Even those 'who do not' engage in alcohol or drugs, there may be unexplained or mysterious health issues. This is the individual who cannot get enough information from doctors and insist that there is something wrong with them. Folks, ya' gotta question this because there is a very Good possibility that this has to do with a VACCINE.

Keep in mind that Neptune naturally rules Pisces, which rules mental health, including depression. The body absolutely does form chemical reactions as a result of emotional anxiety. This can easily become a catch-22 situation. Psychosomatic illnesses are very real because of the chemical relationship. Psyche = mind and somatic = body. It's real but the illness is caused by the mind. Think of acne, ulcers and even headaches as a result of stress. If they are caused by the mind (worry, doubt, fear, anxiety) then they are psychosomatic. It doesn't mean they are 'imagined'. They are very real conditions caused by the stressed mind.

There is also the strong spiritual influence with this aspect where the individual could get caught up in unrealistic mystical, spiritual or religious practices that are more cult-like. This could come from a 'culture' or it could come from 'cultivating' the spiritual or religious practices one already practices or enjoys. In other words, building on it.

On the dark side, we entertain the word 'cult', which is where the mind gets lost (Neptune) and now it is susceptible to infiltration from anywhere. The danger here is being taken advantage of by deceitful individuals. Make certain you are fully-aware of the motives and actions of others, and be careful not to become involved in any activity that is the least bit shady.

YOU MUST learn to reason with your intellect and not be led by your fascination for thrills and the unknown. Avoid drugs, alcohol, and the occult. You could argue that Astrology is 'occult', but I do not believe this as I believe that God made the stars and the map in the sky for us to read. Astrology is God's Positioning System (GPS) not man's GPS (Global Positioning System).

In my opinion, mankind's hi-jacked God's GPS and created their own GPS thereby making it okay to follow man's GPS and not God's GPS. In fact, mankind poo-poo's God's GPS (Astrology) and gives their GPS the okay. How insane is that? So by the occult I mean that which is magical, witchcraft, white magic, spells, voodoo or sorcery or mankind high-jinks.

One thing I wish to make VERY CLEAR with you is Astrology leaves room for your 'free will'. Certainly there is predictive behavior, as past behavioral patterns with ourselves and others has so creatively taught us. (winky wink) Based on past behavior, communication and trends, we can absolutely predict how one might act and react. Even still, everyone ALWAYS has 'free will' and can opt to choose the negative or positive side of an aspect. In Astrology, you ALWAYS get to choose. There is no magic to it. While Astrology can attempt to 'predict' outcomes, that prediction is still based on past patterns, but that does not mean that the prediction will be accurate, True or right since one gets to choose.

Folks, these are highly dangerous times and everything out there is vying for your attention and your soul. Remember, it's no secret, we see these words everywhere, "We are in a Spiritual war!" So while you are out there mixing with others, if you are in such a great place, then do your best to take others with you. If you are so wonderful and living on the right and Good path, do your best to influence others in the right way, rather than make fun of them as they flounder and flail (Neptune) trying to find something, a belief, a Lifeline, or a hook, to hold onto. Life is hard enough without others making fun of how someone finds God, peace or comfort.
