Big difference!

The BIG NEWS today is the Sun opposes Saturn and Mars moves into Libra.

The Sun opposing Saturn should bring back some memories of the recent Daily Horoscope on Thursday - August 24, 2023. On that date Mars trine Pluto was exact and I made reference to the Sun Opposing Saturn aspect that was exact on the same date last year on August 14, 2022, meaning they both hit exact on the same date last year.

This year these two (2) aspects overlap each other in applying and separating degrees making them show-up in the Solar Returns of those with birth dates between the dates below of applying and separating degrees, of course including today. Last year the Sun opposing Saturn energy began on August 3rd, and this year it began on August 17th. So those of you with birth dates on or before August 16th were spared this aspect. Whew! Keep reading . . . there is more.

Sun. August 27, 2023 Applying degrees begin August 17, 2023 at 4:28 AM EDT Separating degrees end on Sept. 5, 2023

Sun. August 27, 2023 Mars moves into Libra at 9:20 AM EDT until October 12, 2023

So the Sun opposing Saturn has been reaching out and touching us since August 17, 2023. It is exact today, and it will last in 'separating degrees' (when it finally pulls apart to not matter anymore) on September 5, 2023. You might recall that Mars trine Pluto (super power on steroids) will also end in separating degrees on September 5, 2023. So you do have the tools to help you get over and past the Sun opposing Saturn, especially if this aspect hits your 2023 Solar Return.

The Sun opposing Saturn tells us that something is happening or will happen that we don't want to see, so we cover our face or close our eyes. Well folks, it is better to open your eyes, than close your eyes and be blinded causing yourself to be weak, helpless, dependent, vulnerable and needy. That would be no help to you because if you cannot help you, then you cannot help someone else. Not to mention, you would be dependent on someone else. So open your eyes.

In today's political and social culture, I have three (3) words for you . . . #PrepYoAss! Some of us are natural-born preppers because it is who we are, but those of you who are not, better darn well start believin' something is seriously wrong in the world, not just in your local conspiracy theorist's head.

Since 'Campaign 2020' (actually before) you have had AT LEAST three (3) years to get on-board. Remember all of my writings where I referenced having "oil in your lamps"? The scriptural reference is what I am referring to.

In the current global state of affairs, we are now at the point where you need to either -

1) get on-board

2) get the hell out of the way and walk out into the wilderness alone with nothing or

3) support and/or shut-up toward those who will be carrying your ass when the going gets tough if you choose not to be prepared.

Life skills and street smarts will get you everywhere now.

The Sun opposing Saturn is going to give a lot of people a really hard time. Coulda, woulda, shoulda. What will help you is learning, engaging and practicing your Life skills.

If you choose to cover your eyes and know nothing, that means you will likely be trouble(d), heavy and dramatic around those who ARE helping and doing their best to do what needs to be done to feed the children. Shut up and stand aside and let those who can handle 'it', handle it.

I am tough like that and do not plan on dragging anyone. Either stand up or at least crawl, but do not be heavy if I have to pull your ass. Push your feet into the dirt and help push yourself across the gravel or hot pavement if you have to be dragged. These are tough times folks.

Prepare. Stand up and go, or if you cannot stand up and go, then just don't be heavy. And by heavy I mean, inactive, trouble, Lifeless or dramatic. And for God's sake - CHECK YOUR EMOTIONS!

The Sun (identity) opposing Saturn shows the personality will have to be toned-down. If you feel the prodrome (early symptom) that is telling you not to do 'that' or say 'that', then that would be the cue to tone-it-down. That's the restriction of Saturn on the Sun (personality). That is this aspect.

This is also some SUPER-COOL intuition if you use it that way. IF you do not use your intuition, then COUNT ON the experience of throwing your hands over your face in embarrassment or not wanting to see what needs to be seen. You will need to 'temper' your personality. Tone it down.

This is a feeling of 'pulling back' to self-restrict. You might find yourself saying, "Damn it, every time I start to _____________ something happens!" Well, you have to get through it rather than turn back. Turning back means you did not confront what needed to be confronted, so the repeat of "every time I start to" is the likely story. Catch-22! So approach that thing differently, or in a different timing, or different set of circumstances. Stop going 'that' way. That's like knowing there is a detour if you turn left, so you turn left and say, "Damn it, every time I turn left there's a detour!" Oh my gosh, then STOP TURNING LEFT!!! What is up with this self-inflictd suffering???? What do people dig on that stuff? These aspects are kinda comical in a spiritual sense, if you can go there, as we humans just keep going left. Doink Doink Doink!

Think of it this way, maybe you are praying for something that you cannot yet handle. Maybe you just can't handle it yet. Did you ever think of that? Maybe some quick re-evaluation is necessary to get you to the place that you need to be.

As I have written to you many times, I do not believe for a second that God rolls these bowling balls into our path just to mess with us. Our Good Father would not do that. That does not make sense. It's more like, "Let's see how you handle this! Here it comes. So you either handle it thereby proving you can handle the BIG PRAYER you asking to be answered in your favor or get the hell out of the way. But don't not look. LOOK! So you can see how it is supposed to be handled. Hiding your face won't make it go away or make it any better.

Aren't we about 'better' when using our Astrology? Don't we want to do and be better? That's why we study and use Astrology appropriately, right? Get your hands off of your face!!!

The Sun opposing Saturn can cause a very tight restriction, if in fact it needs to show up that way. It can create a crisis or worse, an identity crisis.

You may be in a search for your identity, or your perfect career, which gives you that validation, affirmation and recognition outside of the family unit. Maybe your identity inside the home is restricted and so outside of the home you appear flamboyant and over-painted because of that need for attention, compliments, affirmation and recognition. Just make a clear note to yourself how 'identity' is showing up for you and how desperately you might need to be SEEN or acknowledged.

This aspect will make you constantly question if you are doing the right thing. The restriction may show up as a feeling 'as if' there is a dark cloud hanging over your head. If you start turning dark, pessimistic and skeptical then you KNOW that you are playing right into dark side of Saturn, instead of the Light side of Saturn. The Light side of Saturn would be self-imposed restriction, practicality and reasoning. Not, "Woe is me" and "I can't" type of responses.

OMGosh, the "I can't" is so self-defeating. If you say that around me one too many times, I will let you, "I can't" and you will see just how much you can, or won't. (winky wink)

At the same, DO NOT expect a lot of atta girl or atta boy types of pats on the back. This aspect is not going to coddle and pamper you. It just isn't. If you find yourself fishing for compliments, think before you act because this aspect could leave you feeling embarrassed.

There will likely be restrictions on children since the Sun is the natural ruler of the 5th house of children and in its natural ruling Sun Sign, which is Leo. Saturn is the restrictor and limitor, which can put restrictions on children, in any case. WELL THANK GOD! The children are being protected, surrounded, sheltered, guarded and out of danger. That's what I LOVE about this aspect. This aspect also says, "DO NOT MESS WITH MY CHILDREN OR . . .

Those of you who still have daddy issues, hey, it happens, but the older you get, the more you realize you have to heal and get over it, so those of you who still have daddy issues, there will be BIG problems with authority figures, or the father, since Saturn is planet of the father and both planets have testosterone associated with them.

The other BIG NEWS today is Mars moves into Libra. Oh yay! Assertive, aggressive, competitive, insistent and pushy Mars in the sign of "AND JUSTICE FOR ALL" Libra.

Golly Gee, the timing could not be more beautiful, exact and clear.

I absolutely DO EXPECT some real justice with Mars in Libra, especially when it gets into the later degrees near its transiting end, as it will conjunct the South Node and square Pluto in Capricorn. We are talking as we move into October and those first twelve (12) days. Then on October 18th the Sun in Libra will conjunct the South Node in Libra of course squaring Capricorn. Still, right at the beginning of October there are some 'deltas' coming up for you conspiracy theorists that I have my eye on. I will NOT explain that to non-conspiracy theorists because you are probably not even prepping and that would be dragging you. I will not be doing that.

I do expect HRC and her royal 'Haitiness' to be exposed, Anthony Weiner's laptop to be re-exposed, and I do believe HRC's 33,000 emails are not lost at all. 33!!!,000? 33?

Pluto in Capricorn assures us this will happen.

Before I cut out and take a break before writing just a wee bit more in a RED FONT ADDENDUM, it would serve you well to re-read Pluto in Capricorn. And remember back in 2016 when I kept writing to you that was the time of the pancake flip with Pluto. It was the halfway point of Pluto in Capricorn (2008 - 2024) with 2016 being eight (8) years into the sixteen (16) year transit.

I wrote to you and I'll find the links to add here later when I come back, but 2016 is when PRESIDENT TRUMP was elected. That was the flip of the pancake and HRC would NOT win. That turnover would have only been a change in gender of the presidency and NOT a real change in style of government. This whole turning point of Pluto in Capricorn occurred back in 2016. The lunatic liberal left and rino posse has already LOST! It's over, but has only just begun with JUSTICE COMING!

So read what you need to read with Pluto in Capricorn and I'll be back in a bit for sure. There was a nasty storm yesterday morning, which was during the time I set aside to write more. So after I give my booty a little rest, I'll be back to write more in a red font addendum.

This red font addendum is probably more geared toward the conspiracy theorist more than anyone, everyone else at this point will have to do just do your research and play catch-up, or start listening to the conspiracy theorist in your family or friend circle.

So we remain in the Capricorn Moon, which you can easily tell by my hardline stance, verbiage, approach in the Daily Horsocope above. I have a natal Capricorn Moon, which makes the emotions sergeant-like. There is no time for handling emotions with kid gloves and snowflake approaches.

Now if you scooched over to the Pluto in Capricorn write-up, then you know that I mention 'dark skinned people' a lot. It's a big deal because Pluto rules dark skinned people and those who are dark in spirit. This DOES NOT mean that those who are 'dark-skinned' are also 'dark in spirit'. We can leave that totality of 'dark-skinned coupled with dark in spirit' to o666ama and his 'wife'? That little question mark is for you conspiracy theorists. (winky wink)

This DOES NOT mean that all who are dark skinned would be dark in spirit. This became a big deal back in 2008 when I wrote this piece. I'm Native (Cherokee) and I'm pretty dark-skinned myself. The pic to the right is my usual shade, although I lighten up a little in the winter.

Guess who else is dark-skinned. Jeopardy music plays while you think.

As stated in the Pluto in Capricorn write-up, "Brazilians, Columbians, Chileans, Middle Easterners, Hispanics, Mexicans, Hondurans, Guatemalans, Nicaraguans, Middle Easterners, Native Americans, East Indians, African Americans and Africans are all dark skinned" and let's not forget HAWAIIANS as well. That's right! The point is, dark skinned people are in the news for various reasons that are obvious, as oppressed, or those who live on next to nothing. And just this morning, a boatload of Haitian's rammed a sheriff's marine vessel as they were landing in Jupiter, Florida. Haitian's are dark-skinned people.

Let's see, I mentioned HRC (her royal Haitiness) in the above write-up. Folks, keep all this 'dark skinned' and 'dark in spirit' awareness at the forefront of your brain. Pluto rules 'dark skinned people' who doing their best as a collective of people to make a transformation in their Life. Pluto also rules 'dark in spirit people' who are taking advantage of not only 'dark skinned people' but ALL PEOPLES!

It is important to understand that the powers that be are doing their best to keep the 'dark skinned oppressed people' in-check and where they think they need to be. At the same time, they are obviously playing everyone against each other. It's all coming out now.

Think of all the colorful causes, protests, riots, that have been going down over the past 16 years, not to mention the movements that have been taking advantage of the people they were 'supposed' to be helping. BLM!!! and others.

Now THE PEOPLE have wisened-up. The collective have had their 'Come to Jesus' (Saturn in Pisces) awareness and now they can see how they were played. PLAYED!

While a whole mass of people heard what they heard, in their own tone, when PRESIDENT Trump spoke of criminals, now they can hear those words differently. Now they see. Now they hear.

I don't watch the news, so I don't know if they showed on the news PRESIDENT Trump driving through the Atlanta hood, but that's exactly what happened. On my personal FB page yesterday I posted a ton of videos showing you the overwhelming support from the black community. These communities are now seeing the other side of this pancake as there are always two (2) sides to a pancake. One side looks prettier than the other.

It took a while, but in the last months of Pluto in Capricorn, the facts will rise, the people will rise, the 'dark skinned people' will rise, and as the numbers rise, those who are 'dark in spirit' will begin to fall and I believe that includes 'The Quad'.

The 4th indictment included a picture which was 'the signifier'. PRESIDENT Trump's fourth (4th) indictment sealed the deal, bringing the full awareness of the justice system (The Quad) to the people.

PRESIDENT Trump has been pelted by the CIA, DOJ, FBI AND THE IRS over and over and over and over again. That's 'The Quad' in my astrological opinion. And where one falls, they will all fall. Certainly there are more alphabet organizations, but these four (4) are 'The Quad'.

We have been seeing the acronym WWG1WGA - "Where we go one, we go all". Let's play a game of 'What if'.

What if WWG1WGA was not only 'the people' banding together together through thick and thin, what if this acronym was also meant for 'The Quad', where one falls, they all fall.

Folks, I'm just putting it out there because it is entirely possible, and when all of the dots are connected, 98 percent of Washington DC will be cuffed and led out of the buildings. When all dots are connected, we will come full circle. WWG1WGA

And I for one cannot wait until o666ama is seated in front of a real judiciary disciplinary committee and all he can do is stutter and stammer. He fooled so many. So many.
