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 the Sun sextiles Jupiter. Remember, sextiles make us smile!

The higher-octave of this aspect would be the Sun trine Jupiter (see Astro Meme). Trines ratchet-up the energy of the same two (2) planets involved in a sextile. I choose not to call the Sun sextile Jupiter the lower-octave of the Sun trine Jupiter because it is NOT low energy by any stretch, so instead I choose to say the Sun trine Jupiter is the higher octave of the Sun sextile Jupiter. So you see, this is pretty great energy. The Sun sextile Jupiter is like the Sun trine Jupiter's younger sibling from the same super-influential family.

This aspect has been present in applying degrees since August 2, 2024, it is exact today, and will last in separating degrees until August 12, 2024. Remember, applying degrees is 'approaching' energy. It is the prodrome (early symptom) of the energy involved. You can feel it coming. Applying degrees IS YOUR intuition.

You can take advantage of this aspect even as the two (2) planets begin to pull apart and separate from one another creating distance. This is called 'separating degrees'. You still feel the energy as the separation begins. Separating degrees in any aspect will leave you feeling relieved that the energy is over and has moved on, or it will leave you feeling refreshed and energized that the aspect occurred. Relieved or refreshed. So this aspect should leave feeling relieved and probably refreshed.

The Sun sextile Jupiter is both generous and optimistic. Actually, it is double the pleasure of generosity and optimism because both the Sun and Jupiter are generous and optimistic in their own right.

The Sun is generous, huge, flaming, enthusiastic and the Giver of Life, as pretty much most living things including humans are attracted to the Sun and grow in that direction. Keep reading . . .

Jupiter is abundant, expansive, fulfilling, jovial, happy and the giver of luck and Good fortune (results). So you see, this major aspect is literally 'full of it!' Now you can imagine the Sun trine Jupiter and what that must be like, which be exact on September 13, 2024 and January 30, 2025.

Back to the Sun sextile Jupiter, this aspect brings about protection in the most surprising ways. Let's say that you have a bill due today that you cannot afford and you just need a lucky break. You can call the creditor and ask for an extension and you will get it. You might ask for a debt to be completely forgiven. Whatever you need, you can expect a nice dose of protection under this planetary influence. So ask for it. If the Sun trine Jupiter always lands on its feet, you can pretty much expect the Sun sextile Jupiter to land nicely as well.

This aspect is actually like an 'order of protection' straight from 'The Divine', as the Sun trine Jupiter lives with this kind of protection as well.

Negative or serious harm rarely shows up when this aspect is present because there is always a mitigating factor that makes the circumstances less severe. Do you have a birthday between August 2nd and August 12th this year? Then you have this aspect in your Solar Return. Remember, no matter what happens, remember this aspect. There is something present that can get you off the hook. Maybe the whole time during your struggle you have held strong, and did not try to take anyone down with you. Perhaps you kept the Faith and trusted your Heavenly Father. BAM! The protective order gets enacted, strengthened and tightened.

There are opportunities for happiness and popularity, which allows you time to express and e-x-p-a-n-d your presence. Remember, whatever Jupiter touches E-X-P-A-N-D-S. The opportunities may come in the form of insight, ideas, suggestions and advice. You may be working on goals on your own behalf, but then again you may be working on goals that involve both you and someone else, or all involved parties. In other words, your positive goals impact others in a positive way.

Since this aspect reeks of generosity and optimism, your Good intentions will be at the front of your mind, which means you will likely not lose sight of your goal. This aspect supports you to accomplish your goals and plans.

The Sun sextile Jupiter seeks more happiness than wealth and would rather have a generous amount of wealth and comfort that would not compromise oneself or assume too much responsibility or time. So you see, a certain level of freedom is involved as well. In other words, this aspect would rather be financially comfortable rather than have outlandish wealth like the Sun trine Jupiter.

Also presenting itself today is Mercury conjunct Venus. This aspect is accompanied by sweet talk that might sound like, "Hey, how are you? You look so nice today." Mercury conjunct Venus is very kind, sweet and nice, but with this collection of energy, the next sentence can easily be, "Can I borrow some money? Can I use your car? Can you watch the kids?"

Mercury conjunct Venus is a very friendly aspect, which brings out the best in people. Well thank God, huh? This aspect is a Good listener as it is fully present in a conversation. You know how sometimes you can be thinking of what you will say next before the other person is finished talking? Well, this aspect does not do that. It listens and enjoys being in the conversation 'nicely'. This does not mean you agree, it means you are listening nicely and speaking kindly.

This aspect also lends grace in speech and writing skills. It's a great time to sit down and have that conversation or write that e-mail or note that you hope will help someone else understand you better. This aspect also has upgraded phone (communication) skills. It's a great time to say, "Honey we need to talk." If you write, produce or play music, this is the time to make that recording. Get it down on paper or audio. Hum a few bars into a recorder to that you do not lose that moment of creativity. Send yourself a text, hit the record app, or make notes in your Notes App.

There is also a knack for negotiation or mediating because Venus rules the 2nd house of personal finances and the 7th house of committed relationships and/or partnerships. It's a great time to re-negotiate, especially since Mercury is Retrograde and giving us a do-over. Call any lending institution or credit card company and renegotiate your interest rate(s), as well as calling your insurance company, phone and television providers for a better deal. Do it!
