Do you have the feeling of 'piss and vinegar' running through your veins? A bit of . . angst maybe? 'Piss and vinegar' is different than 'old lady spit and vinegar'. It's much much different. Piss and vinegar is pretty much today's Sun square Uranus. You can't stop it, you can only watch it play out and ponder what's next? I'm watching all of this angsty energy play out in so many people, in so many ways, as the energy of the times is being misused and abused. Talk about a feeling of helplessness. I can see it coming for so many people and they are going to step right into a hole where they cannot turn back. I know you feel angst, and you have every right to feel it, as the 2020 Solar Return's for so many birth dates are increasingly becoming more difficult as the days tick by. If you have rolled your eyeballs over the August 2020 Astro Memes and looked at the 'applying and separating' degrees of the more challenging aspects, then you know this angst, rebellion and scary energy will last through the end of the year. But wait . . . will it last until the end of the year? Keep in mind all of these birth dates with these energies landing on them will still be played out in their 2020 Solar Return, which means it will last in their blood, bones, lymph, brain, tissues, demeanor, attitude and personality until their 2021 Solar Return.

As an astrologer, I look at this and yell outloud, "HOW DO I HELP!?!?" And I am quickly reminded through my DLG (Download from God) that each of us have 'Free Will'. God gave us all 'Free Will', and if you follow the astrology, you read the astrology, you hear the astrology, and you are literally TOLD the astrology, and you still act out and act up, then that is on you. I can give you all the sharp advice my body and brain can muster and if you still insist that your bad behavior was the right way to respond, then that is on you. LISTEN ASTROTATORS .... I will keep hammering this information to you .... where you have the cardinal signs in your natal chart (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) in the mid-teen degrees up until the last degree of 29 degrees 59 minutes, you will be challenged like you have not been challenged in quite some time. This does not mean you get permission to run off the rails and lose your mind. Losing your mind does not mean you are in control, it means you are OUT OF CONTROL!

Today's major aspect of the Sun squaring Uranus began in 'applying degrees' back on July 24, 2020. The aspect is exact today and it will last in 'separating degrees' until August 10, 2020. There is not much more I need to write about this energy because I believe the Astro Meme speaks for itself. LOOK at the August 2020 Astro Memes and read the dates of 'applying degrees' and 'separating degrees'. This is important! 'Applying degrees' is YOUR INTUITION. This is where intuition sits in your Natal Chart and Solar Return. Applying means approaching. The two planets are coming closer together and you can start feeling the energy in 'applying aka approaching' degrees. That is INTUITION! Your Natal Charts and Solar Returns reek of intuition and so many are not using the energy. If I wrote your Natal Chart or Solar Return, then under every single aspect it will say either 'applying' or 'separating' and the degree of the 'orb of influence'. The closer to 00 degrees the stronger the intuition. Got it?

Let's pretend that your mother-in-law is coming to town and she lives clear across the country. You know she is coming on such and such a date, so you can feel the 'prodrome' (early symptom) of her arrival. You feel it. It gets closer and closer to the day she will arrive and then the day arrives and she gets on the plane. Now you really feel the energy. You get an automated text from the airline that says the plane is ON TIME! Your spouse/mate/partner leaves to go pick her up and now it's real. It's happening. You get a text from your spouse/mate/partner that says, "We are on our way. See you in 20 minutes." It's the day of energy (her energy). You look out the window and see the car coming down the street. It turns into the driveway, they get out of the car and in the door she walks. You felt it all in 'applying degrees'. The energy has arrived. You knew it was comimg. Now how are you going to act. You had all that time to think about it. How are you going to handle this energy? Is this the best mother-in-law in the world or is this energy monster-in-law?

Let's say the mother-in-law will be leaving in a week. The day after she arrives the energy is now in 'separating degrees' because it is past the day of arrival (exactness). As each day ticks by and gets closer to the date she is leaving, it's all separating degrees. The day comes when she leaves, you see the car leave, you get a text from the airline saying the plane has left on time, you get a text from her saying she is back home. And that is the end of separating degrees.

The nutshell? Applying degrees is 'approaching' energy, which is your INTUITION that tells you two (2) planets are coming closer together and they are so many degree apart. Then the day of exactness arrives, which for today is the Sun squaring Uranus. Then the moment after exactness there is a pulling apart of the two (2) planets in question. That is separating degrees. Each day that goes by the planets are pulling further apart and the energy is waning. Separating degrees will leave you feeling 'relieved or refreshed' that the energy happened at all. If a wonderful aspect occurs, then we feel it coming and we feel it going. Same thing.

So folks, check your charts for the 'applying and separating degrees.' The Natal Chart and Solar Returns that I write for you are loaded with Goodies. They are basic in structure and deep on information.

So back to the beginning, the Cardinal Signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) are having a super-rough time with this energy, but then again so are the birth dates that have these tough aspects embedded in their Solar Return. But let's say you take this energy and twist it like a pretzel. Let's say you make something tasty out of this jacked-up energy. You are going to have to really choose your battle and ask yourself how loud and obnoxious you really want to be. I look at my own world personally and professionally to see how I will channel this energy. What can I do? I'm doing the best I can to educate, school and teach as many people as I can in all areas of the work and passion I have chosen to do. So you know what that means, I ratchet it up. It's time to level-up.
