The BIG NEWS today is Venus opposes Pluto and Mercury opposes Neptune. DAMMIT! Is anything True anymore or is everything that we have seen or done FAKE? These combined energies are going to wake-up a lot of people and it probably will not feel Good. Folks, I'm tellin' you, it's a real bad idea to weave in and out of your moral code. In fact, if you don't have one, you might want to get one. The "I don't eat animals but I carry a leather purse" isn't going to work anymore. Preaching and wailing about our carbon footprint and then flying across the country for a wedding isn't going to work anymore. Oh my gosh, I went to a wedding like that a long time ago. A whole load of people at a wedding from all over the country, as the younger crowd wailed on and on about the carbon footprint of humanity, but yet they failed to recognize we all had to fly across the country and drive two (2) hours north to this wedding. Not only will FAKE NEWS be seen, our own 'likeness of fakeness' will be seen as well. Can you drop your ego and admit to your own self where you are faking it?

This first aspect today has a lot of 'faking it' when it comes to relationships, until it all goes to hell in a handbasket. Venus opposing Pluto does not like to be discarded after sex. "I'm not going to be ignorrrrred DAN!" Remember that line from Glenn Close in the movie, 'Fatal Attraction'? When you think about it, since October 2008 when Pluto moved into Capricorn, even single year since then when Venus is in Cancer, it opposes Pluto in Capricorn and we encounter this aspect. You should be able to track how you have felt or behaved during this energy.

This is the hallmark and classic picture of the 'Jealous Love' slathered with control, obsession, lying and spying. Pluto naturally rules Scorpio (the jealous sign) and Venus rules Love and money through Libra and Taurus. This is scathing and downright brutal energy around relationships. And it misbehaves badly when ignored. "I'm not going to be ignorrrrred DAN!" This isn't passion, it's crazy-fatal-attraction-jacked-up energy. There is no excuse to go this crazy, but if you are going to behave badly, consider the consequences before you sleep with 'crazy'. It is control through guilt-tripping. It's violent, it's abusive, it's nasty, it's dangerous and it's violent sex (rape). Here are the last two (2) times Venus opposed Pluto --- June 5, 2018 and July 21, 2019.

Venus opposing Pluto also shows domination, power and drama in personal relationships and matters of personal money. Pluto is insecure, jealous and obsessed, so this aspect is obsessed with the idea of Love and the desire to have it. The same holds true for the desire to have money. Venus opposing Pluto expect loved ones to share love with the same level of intensity. As a result, relationships are infested with a struggle for power and control, probably even violence. Energy needs to be directed into a creative pursuit that is timing consuming and demanding to keep the individual's emotions from wandering and ballooning into something that does not exist.

The likelihood of becoming involved in intensely emotional and sexual relationships is very high. The same will hold true for an individual on a quest for more money, especially if that individual needs money to pay bills. Oh what a desperate insecure person will do for Love or money. Is there no dignity? Is there no level to which one will go when in such desperate need of Love or money? This eneregy might be called "passionate" when it really should be called, "jealous, possessive, insecure, demanding and cruel." This aspect attracts the wrong type of people to couple-up with and have a relationship or to get involved with in matters of money.

Marital problems occur because of dictatorial attitudes and behaviors toward a mate, or vice versa. One might experience these attitudes and behaviors from their mate. Pluto is the planet of transformation through destruction, then reconstruction; therefore, there are attempts to remake or transform the partner rather than compromise.

In business relationships there are extreme challenges with competition, rivalry and jealousy. As with any other challenging aspect, this is powerful energy that should be channeled in a productive way so the energy can be put to Good use.

We also experience Mercury opposing Neptune today. This is an especially tough aspect because Mercury is in Virgo, it's natural ruling planet in a sign. And Neptune is in Pisces, it's natural ruling planet in a sign. Mercury is not only the ruler of Virgo, it is the natural ruler of Gemini. So this energy that is opposing Virgo, naturally squares Neptune as well because Gemini squares Pisces. ICK! This is really a tough aspect and yet people will fall for whatever they see and repeat and repost and not even THINK to check it out. Damn I'm glad I have a Capricorn Moon. Wow!

Now here is what is fascinating, Mercury and Neptune in their natural ruling signs have been opposing each other once a year since 2012 and will continue to oppose each other once a year until 2025 because that will be when Neptune moves out of Pisces and into Aries.

Anytime Neptune is afflicted (challenged by a hard aspect, such as a square or opposition) then you should NOT drink alcohol or you will be drinking like a fish (Neptune, Pisces) and you will regret it later. That's all you need is a cocktail mixed with the CRAZY aspect above. And keep in mind, Neptune and Pisces rules MENTAL HEALTH. Holy Geez!

Neptune is that whirly, psychedelic and often dillusional planet, especially when mixed with alcohol or drugs. At the same time, Neptune (when afflicted) does not need alcohol or drugs to trick or deceive others. It can do this consciously or unconsciously. Mercury opposing Neptune can easily be seduced into believing other people's ideas, which means you may be confused in your own thinking and can therefore be easily deceived. In world of social media and crafty software, it is super-easy to deceive the eyes and ears.

You will need to trust 'yourself'. Literally! But as fast as everyone is moving, and insisting on results, and refusing to listen, there will be an enormous amount of people fooled, tricked, outwitted and deceived. The faster you move, the more you will decide that you don't have time and therefore can easily be outsmarted. Don't think it can't happen to you, because it can, and it will, if you decide you have no time. The faster you press for results, the faster you swim past what you 'should have' seen coming. If you decide you can't listen to the other side, then you will miss the point.

Become the fish who sits back, listens, waits, watches and isn't so easily baited and hooked. This aspect is incredibly telepathic, but it can still be tricked if your telepathy is not tapped and sourced. Think of me with a bullhorn right now saying, "DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE OR HEAR." Folks, this is not just on the news, this is in your daily life. Smack yourself and open your eyes! At the same time, it could be you who is attempting to out-think and out-maneuver someone else where you could be the one who is deceitful or the trickster. Oh geez!

You can beat this energy by waving your arms around and clearing the smoke screen from your eyes. Think of yourself as driving and what you would need to do to see the road ahead. Maybe you need to splash your face with cold water. If your intuition is telling you to doubt, then DOUBT! If you intuition is telling you to check this or check that, THEN CHECK IT! If you are feeling competitive with someone, you could be taken off course by constantly looking over your shoulder, while they end up passing you on the other side when you aren't looking. STOP LOOKING backward and look forward. Stay on your path! You will soon find that you are at your best when you are NOT looking over your shoulder trying to see what your competitor is doing. If you are not advancing, then you are probably more concerned about your 'perceived' competition that you are about yourself, which reveals how you were outsmarted, outwitted and outplayed.

Now listen up Astrotators! If you have a birthdate surrounding these energies of the past few days, before or after today, you WILL have these aspects in your 2020 Solar Return, not to mention you will carry the squares between Mars in Aries to Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn. It's going to be a rough Solar Return. Make sure you get your 2020 Solar Return and if you can get a phone reading with me and let's talk about it so you know how to handle it.

On another note -- You can take Virtual Yoga Classes with me (or any of the teachers at my yoga studio) even if you live on the other side of the world, and you don't even have to turn your camera on if you don't want to. We hold the classes on Zoom and I teach 7 days a week. Some days more than others. One thing I won't be doing anymore is sitting on my ass. I work on the website, then get up and teach a yoga class. Then I sit down and work again, then get up and teach other class. It's the bestest in the worldest. We have awesome Deals - $19 Video's on Demand - $49 Zoom LIVE classes and you can watch video's too if you miss the class - or $89 for Unlimited Virtual and In-Studio classes.
