Big difference!

The BIG NEWS today is yesterday Mercury in Virgo turned Retrograde (Rx). During this time, it is important to remember that 'anything' Mercury rules, then it is best to do maintenance, support and upkeep, rather than buying brand new.

For instance, Mercury is the co-ruler of Gemini and Virgo.

Gemini rules the 3rd house of mental abilities, education grades K-12, tests, testing, transportation, automobiles, communication, marketing, promotion, writing, siblings, cousins and neighbors.

Virgo rules 'physical' health, healing, healers, dieticians, nutrition, grocers, doctors, hygiene, hygienists, science, engineering, bookkeeping, accounting, details, methods, filing, criteria, accuracy, and precision.

Now take your eyeballs back to the first paragraph. This is the time to go backward in time, since Mercury is going backward in degrees, to do maintenance, support and upkeep. The Universe (God) is giving us time to get things back in order before SHTF, before things breakdown, before we are put to the 'test', before we make a solid agreement and sign on the dotted line, before we continue on a path of an unhealthy Lifestyle, before we promote what is not yet finished, completed or even started. Mercury Retrograde is giving you time to get your ducks in a row, your beans counted (money), and your Life back on track.

Think about what 'ducks in a row' looks like and why we use that expression. The lead duck (Mama Duck quack quack) is leading her flock in a certain direction for safety and food.

Also remember, we are in the 'orb of influence' of Jupiter in Gemini (the mind, communication, transportation) square Saturn in Pisces (mental health, poverty, hard times), which is the aspect of 'scared straight'. Of course there will be those who will lollygag and say to themselves, "You've been saying that for years now and nothing has happened"

Oh really? Nothing has happened??

Since Spring of 2020 when Covid changed our world, when everyone was going after toilet paper, I was telling my yoga teachers to go for the food and Kleenex.

You have had plenty of time to get ahead of inflation, crazy, greed and hoarders, and any surprise events coming down the pipe. You have had plenty of time to get your ducks (family) in a row providing safety and food for yourself and your family.

Having said that, I don't find this to be a surprise at all that God would give us this 'maintenance' time period to get ourselves on track before SHTF. Do you know that Pisces, Virgo and Scorpio rule pharmaceuticals? The very last paragraph of yesterday's Daily Horoscope I wrote, "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."

Interestingly enough, yesterday I spent the day with a friend whose son-in-law is a pharmacist. We were on a 'farm fresh egg and elderberry' run to a girlfriend's homestead (Tina) 1 hour and 15 minutes away. We had plenty of time to talk about this.

Gemini rules the mind, mental abilities and how we process (learn). Pisces rules mental health, chemistry and pharmaceuticals. Mercury rules both Gemini and Virgo (physical health). I could weave this in and out of different scenarios 40x over, but surely you understand that your diet, Lifestyle, mind, health and cupboards need to be prepped.

Virgo is the sign that has full cupboards since they are the Doctors, Registered Dieticians and Nutritionists of the zodiac. North Node Virgo here (me)!

Dang it, I can't help but keep pushing this need to prep, at the same time I feel 'done' typing, texting and talking about it. Some people will need to see some sort of catastrophe, explosion, or fear factor in order to Light a fire under their ass. Well, all I can say is those of you waiting for that, will get what you have been waiting for all this time. I am pretty darn brave person, although that kind of brave (no security, prep or back-up plan) is not my kind of brave and courageous. I want as close to a 'sure thing' as possible. I trust myself more than I trust anyone else and feel that I am a sure thing.

Think about this for a moment. Can you count on you? For some people this is a hard concept, to count on oneself. That means you have to be dependable, show up, do the right thing, and see ahead of the moment. You have to look down the path, plan and prepare. You don't just punch the accelerator when the Light changes. You have to look both ways first because you CAN'T count on others to stop at a red Light. Can you count on yourself to wake-up on time, leave on time, get to work on time?

There are people out there who really cannot be counted on. They are blasting through Life and Lights not looking both ways, but checking their phone. Do you get me? Do you read me? Do you understand the words that are coming off the tips of my fingers? Non or ill-prepared people are simply not going to make it.

Yesterday I posted on FB a post from someone on X that said, "Are people even prepared for what's coming?" The reply in that same post said, "The bigger question is, are people prepared for the people who are not prepared?"

What will you do in place of certain meds? When the pharmaceuticals go, you can bet your ass that cigarettes and alcohol are next, probably before toilet paper. Then while everyone is sitting on their unnecessary stash, maybe they will think of food.

So, are you a sure thing? If not, whose back will you be riding or 'trying' to ride while complaining and whining the whole way about what you don't have. You know, as an adult.

I expect Pluto re-entering Capricorn at the 29th degree on September 1, 2024 until November 19, 2024 to be all out flippin' crazy, and every day we edge a little closer. So, you won't eat this and you won't eat that, and it has to be this way or that way, huh? Okay, we'll see about that.

It wasn't scary enough about the toilet paper shortage, it wasn't scary enough about the baby formula shortage, it wasn't scary enough when the food factories were burning, it wasn't scary enough when the train derailments and chemical spills kept occurring, it wasn't scary enough when bridges were hit by barges - Pelican Island Causeway bridge in Galveston, Texas - Kerr Lock and Dam in Sallisaw, Oklahoma - a cargo ship leaving the Port of Baltimore struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge. What does it take?

How about all of those cargo ships that were pushed past Catalina Island, CA so no one could see the how many were sitting, waiting, for what? It's not out of the realm of possibility that those ships were 'Trojan Horses' and that's where the multitudes were housed until their turn to be dropped off somewhere below the Southern border to walk in to this country with cell phones, clean tennis shoes, money and much more.

It wasn't scary enough in Palestine, Ohio, it wasn't scary enough in Paradise, CA, it wasn't scary enough in Lahaina, Hawaii. Crazy as it is, Life just isn't scary enough yet for some people. At this point all I can say is, Okay. Keep reading . . .

Pluto in Capricorn Last time in 2024

The level of desensitization and normalization on such a mass level is probably the MOST unbelievable thing I have ever seen. EVER! Death and destruction in these United States is not moving the emotional needle for so many people, not even a little bit. And people we know are unbothered by the insanity. It's no wonder there is such a massive, "Kill the baby and save the dog!" mentality going on. "Kill the baby and save the whales! It's honestly just unreal that this is normal thinking. I can make a post about a child and it's like no one sees it. But if I post about a cat, wholly wow, the world falls in Love.

People are falling all over themselves desperately trying to be just like everyone else or to not look like themselves at all. The level of self-loathing and insecurity is simply beyond imagination. People are trying so desperately to be and look exceptional, that they are looking like everyone else and becoming the 'norm'. It's just downright insane.

The other new overused word is "weird". The MSM gave you this word so that you will run with it, so all the weird people are now the 'norm' and the actual normal people are now called 'weird'. Flashing genitalia and sexualizing children is now normal. We are living in Sodom and Gomorrah.

Well folks, there is a term that some of you may not have heard of and that is the word, "Normies". Go ahead, put in a search on that word, "Normies". This word is not a compliment in this political climate we live in. In fact, it's an insult.

Folks, Saturn in Pisces is squeezing with his belt, and I mean he is squeezing hard, and he will not let up until the people have had enough and finally rise (ascend). There's that word I have been telling you to remember. One of several words actually. Ascend, ascension. We have to rise above the nasty that is occurring, and I mean NASTY! That's Pluto for ya'. We are living in 'anything goes' times.

Good grief! People can be so heavy without even lifting them and it doesn't have to be that way. Keep reading . . .

Saturn in Pisces Transiting Degree Calendar

Saturn in Pisces write-up Until February 13, 2026

As a Natal Jupiter in Aquarius person who sees culture(s) in the masses, one of the gifts of Jupiter in Aquarius, I would like to see everyone wearing their cultural or native dress and that being normal.

Jupiter naturally rules culture, ethnicity, customs, traditions, heritage, society and citizens of the world. Aquarius rules the masses, groups, populations, organizations, friends and acquaintances.

Imagine how much we would learn from each other if we lived, breathed and enjoyed our cultures openly without being so dismissive and judgmental. How cool would it be to see everyone in their cultural dress instead of decorating themselves in a costume? Perhaps Pluto in Aquarius will bring some transformation back to 'the people'. After all, Aquarius rules 'the people'.

Surely you can see by now there is a war on culture along with an identity crisis. We have a HUGE population of people who were born in the 2000's who are missing some numbers in their birth date. Think about this. In my world of Astrology, I have this number thing I do in my head where I can read birth dates. I don't need the astrology chart, you do. I use the chart to explain to you what's in the birth date. So my way of seeing numbers is probably not like those who practice numerology.

Anyway, those born in the 2000's are missing some numbers in their birth date, which creates a MASSIVE IDENTITY CRISIS. These are now our teenagers and 20 somethings. Uh huh! Yep! On a mass level, they don't know who they are; therefore, we have pronoun issues, mental health issues, identity issues, physical issues, all of which depend on their birth date and the missing numbers. It does show up in the natal chart, and there are also solutions in the natal chart as well. Remember, God always gives us a way of escape.

This Daily Horoscope is provided to get you to think. Mercury rules the thinking mind. Mercury likes to masticate thought. Chew on it, so to speak. Think of the BIGGER picture here.

The Moon in Virgo is picky, picky, picky. If you are going to require so much from others, then start with yourself. Use Mercury Retrograde as maintenance to get yourself back on track, so that when you do open your eyes, you do see and your understanding will be clearer.
