I welcome sharing my writing, links, quotes and Astro Memes,
but copying and passing off my work as ones own, is plagarism!
Big difference!

The BIG NEWS today is Mercury in Virgo (the specialist) turns Retrograde (Rx). This has been posted in the August 2024 Astro Memes since last October 2023. It has also been on the home page since that time, so yep, you should have known.

Mercury in Virgo screams "DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS, THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE, OR DO THEY? LET'S COUNT AGAIN!" Hmmmm, I wonder how numbers will show up during this time. Pay attention THE NUMBERS, the actual numbers, the real numbers, the count, the facts, the characters, the symbols, the code, the tally, the decimal points. FUN!

Mercury will retrograde back into Leo on August 14, 2024 until it turns direct on August 28, 2024 and re-enters Virgo on September 9, 2024 until September 26, 2024.

Virgo, the mark of the specialist, meaning one who has a specialty or who is an expert in their field, or one who does 'special ops' and 'special forces'. Let's not forget that the aspect of 'scared straight' (Jupiter square Saturn) is whirling around the picture. This is not a time to live large without a clue, plan or back-up. Dang it don't make me so, "Told'ja so." And so it begins. Keep reading . . .

Mon. August 5, 2024 Mercury in Virgo Retrogrades at 12:56 AM EDT Until August 28, 2024

Mercury in Virgo has an insatiable need to be right simply because if they are wrong, someone could get injured, or worse, someone could die, or go to jail. This is because Virgo rules science, healthcare and engineering, which are jobs that involve precision and accuracy. Virgo energy needs to be right and because all hell could break loose and go wrong if they are not accurate, precise, granular and forensic. Virgo is their own forensic team.

All the same, too much attention to detail could also cause one to lose sight of the main goal. Hmmmmm, I am a North Node Virgo, which is the very reason why my writings are loaded with such crazy little and sometimes unimportant details. But hey, ya' never know when you need to know the rulership of something, that's why rulerships are always such a big hairy deal in my writings. Mercury will retrograde into Leo on August 14, 2024, then it will turn 'Direct' on August 28, 2024 where Mercury will re-enter Virgo on September 9, 2024 until September 26, 2024. Folks, Mercury Rx is NEVER the time to begin something new or sign something new. This is a do-over, a time to clean it up, make it right, take care of maintenance and regroup before progressing forward. This promises to be one action-packed Mercury Rx with the accompanying Jupiter square Saturn aspect. Did ya' prep? Keep reading . . .

Mercury Retrograde is accompanied by Venus Quincunx Pluto, which resurrects relationships and attempts to breathe some new Life back into them. Now see folks, here is where some incredible conspiracy theory could actually come True, where you thought this man or that woman was out of the picture but nooooooooo, there they are AGAIN! Is Jeffrey Epstein really dead? Or is he alive, breathing and talking? Has Loretta Lynch been talking? Remember she was the U.S. Attorney General for o666ama. When is the last time you saw her name in the news?

Resurrected relationships could find themselves on the other end of the phone with you, or making comments on your social media, or sending you messages for your thoughts, expertise or knowledge. Maybe a former flame is feeling lowly about themselves and so in order to make themselves feel special they reach out and contact you, just to see if they still got it.

These resurrections could come in any form. Maybe an old friendship, a former Love, a former co-worker, a former neighbor, or somone who is kin that hasn't been around in a while.

Interestingly enough, my daughter left on a business trip this morning, so I contacted an old friend who I know we would still do anything for each other. In case of anything, I want my daughter to know she has back-up, an extra shoulder, or a strong contact in that area. Mamas still need to feel better about their babies, even when they are grown and in their 40s. He messaged me back saying, "Most definitely. If she needs anything I’m here for her."

This is how Venus quincunx Pluto has shown up for myself, my daughter and the old friend just this morning. Watch for old connections to be revived, restored or brought back to Life. Again, this does NOT mean all former relationships need to be reconnected because sometimes an old flame just needs to know they still got it, so they are looking for a little flirtation or compliment.

And how interesting is it that this Venus quincunx Pluto aspect showed up exact on the date that Mercury turns Retrograde (Rx). Talk about a do-over and retracing your steps! Remember, Mercury Retrograde gives us a do-over in order to 'right' ourselves before progressing forward. These two (2) aspects are connected, so it will be interesting to see how this shows up on the national and global scale.

Which reminds me, this past weekend the Scorpion King and I went on a camping-kayaking trip. We really enjoy the outdoors and this trip was probably right up there with THE BEST of our adventures. Everything went right. River people I find to be THE MOST patriotic group partying misfits in the world. It seemed every raft, canoe and kayak had the U.S. flag somewhere whether that was a can wrap, a swimsuit, a hat, a cooler, water shoes, earrings, a mounted flag, there were flags everywhere!!! I was wearing a U.S. flag cowboy hat and my Scorpion King was wearing red, white and blue 4th of July swim trunks.

Even more SPECTACULAR, the river, many times throughout the day, would erupt into "F joe 666iden" chants. Hundreds of people in rafts, canoes and kayaks chanting the same thing. It was SPECTACULAR!!! And 'cabala harris' wasn't even a mention in those chants. No one cares because she is a non-contributing zero. Watch, you'll see. She is a NON-CONTRIBUTING ZERO! Go ahead, quote me on that.

By the way, click her ads and help her spend that money. That puts money in the pockets of the websites. I don't allow political ads on my website, but when you see the ads on other sites, help out the website by clicking the political ad and then staying in the link for at least 30 seconds. That will put more money in the owners pocket and help the political opponent spend their money. (winky wink) It's like that with all ads.

P.S. - Is this the day the stock market nosedives and crashes? 401K's are going to take their hits and more. Folks, scared straight means scared straight. Will it be the stock market for you or some other black swan event? A black swan event is a significant event that is difficult to plan for, but then again you have been tipped off with Astrology and plenty of conspiracy theory, so those of you in the mindset of both are probably pretty set or better set than most. God help you if you are riding this scary tidal wave without a plan, a paddle or a prayer. Some will not make it. They just won't.

Pharmacies are next. Folks, you had better think of your back-up plan to your BigHarmYa pharmaceuticals. You should be onto BigFarmAh (Healthy and Holistic) by now instead of BigHarmYa (Pharma). You need a back-up plan.
