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 Venus sextiles Pluto at 29 DEGREES! Sweet Mother of Jesus this is a great aspect! Venus will still be in Scorpio in its final 29th Degree and will reach out and touch Pluto in Capricorn at 29 Degrees creating the sextile before Venus moves into Sagittarius tonight. And get this, Venus is in Scorpio and Pluto naturally rules Scorpio, so this is very intense energy.

The exactness of that aspect occurred at 1:01 AM EST, but it began it's 'orb of influence' on December 25, 2023 and it will last until January 1, 2024. So it doesn't matter if your Solar Return is before or after the change of Venus into Sagittarius, if your birthday is between December 25th and January 1st, you will have this aspect in your Solar Return for the next year blessing your LOVE!

Venus moves into Sagittarius later today at 3:24 PM EST until January 23, 2024 of which you will see the Astro Memes for that write-up and the transiting degree calendar at the end of this write-up, as well as on the home page, and in the left side teal colored navigation column.

Back to today's Venus aspect. Pluto has a massive role on the planetary circuit, which is the job of transformation. Back in the beginning of Pluto in Capricorn, I wrote to Capricorn's over and over and over again that it is quite possible that they would not even recognize themselves at the end of this transit because their Life would be so much different than it was in 2008. This could not only be appearance, but in career, family Life, the whole sha-bang!

Venus sextile Pluto has a transformative impact like that on relationships. It's literally a power couple type of energy. 'You and me' against the world type of thing. Pluto is hot-headed and if left unattended, unsupervised and untrained, he goes off and blows sh!t up. This aspect wants you to work together, not separately. One half of the couple is just as 'vital' as the other half. Keep reading as this is really important relationship info . . .

Vital. That's a great word. Think of your vital organs. That means you cannot live without them and they are the heart, brain, kidneys, liver, and lungs. Your vitals or vital signs is a collection of medical signs that indicate the status of the body's vital functions. So back to the couple in this Venus sextile Pluto aspect. One half of the couple is just as 'vital' as the other half.

Having said that, I think it is very wise for couples to have a game plan. If you are not coupled-up, that's okay, then power-up with a friend and get a game plan. I'm talking 'survival' folks. VITAL! And you don't share your game plan with others. Desperate times make people do desperate things.

For God's sake, stop sharing so damn much personal stuff and plastering it on social media. So many people would be sitting ducks in hard times because everyone and their cousin knows their weakness. Times are going to be tough. I know, I know, you have been hearing it for a SOLID three (3) years now, but how much notice do you need? This aspect wants to get you thinking, "It's you and me against the world." Maybe this is you and your Honey-Love, maybe it's you and your friend, maybe it's you and your oldest child.

Imagine in hard times, one could easily say, "Let's head to that house! She is diabetic, he has bad knees, and they have insulin! They will not be running after us." We know so much personal info about so many just because they blabbermouth their weaknesses and plights on social media.

My Scorpion King and I use the phrase, "Cover me" a lot. It means we know that we are looking out for each other and have each other's back when we move out of cover. So let's say I step out of the vehicle to run into a store, then I say, "Cover me" and he watches out for me and places himself in a position to pick me up when I exit the store. It's like Bonnie and Clyde and he is in the getaway car or vice versa. We are the eyes and ears for each other all the time. Like comrades on the battlefield of Life.

So you see folks, this is a very important aspect. I could write all kinds of romantic stuff surrounding this aspect, but that does not really give you the meat of the aspect. The real tie that binds is 'the cover'. Take your relationship(s) to a higher level of protection, commitment and solidarity with this aspect.

Certainly this aspect is a 'Love Fest'. For instance, it was present at the time of Woodstock during the weekend of August 15 - 17, 1969. It sure was! This aspect is the classic placement for the motto, "Love conquers all!"

This placement absolutely believes that with Love, anything is possible. And at Woodstock, the crowds conquered the rain and lived to tell about it.

Venus sextile Pluto has an intense commitment to a relationship that requires the partner to be just as committed. "COVER ME!" In other words, when Clyde ran into the store, bank, etc., he didn't worry if Bonnie would still be in the car WITH ALL THE MONEY from the previous score when he ran out. He had to know and believe that she would be sitting in the car running and ready to boogy out of there. She had his back. She could have high-tailed it out of there alone when she had the chance, but they were in it together. VENUS SEXTILE PLUTO COVER ME BABY!

Those with this placement in their Solar Return (birthdays between Dec. 25 and Jan. 1 including this date) will have a theme or emphasis on relationships. The key to your success in relationships is having a deep understanding of each other and your motivations. Folks, you need a buddy you can trust right now. You and your Honey-Love, oldest child, friend, need a game plan. COVER ME!

If my Scorpion King had to run in somewhere and I'm sitting there waiting, I will not be sitting there putting on my mascara. I'M COVER! I'm watching for him to come out.

He was changing Lightbulbs the other day and I was holding the ladder. I was his cover.

We had beef stew last night and I said, "It's super-hot!" I had his back and I didn't want him to burn his mouth.

Folks, you have to watch out and be each other's cover. If you do not have this 'cover' down cold, then you better straighten up and get in sync. A lot of this is also plain ol' relationship courtesy.

So while there is a strong attraction to physical appearances and a person's sex appeal, this aspect can be turned off just as quickly by any signs of a superficiality, selfishness, fakeness, rudeness or all four (4). This aspect is not concerned with the self, as much as it is the survival of the coupling. This is NOT a, "What about me" or "You, you, you" aspect. This is an - us, we and our aspect.

Venus sextile Pluto has strong feelings and perceptions, coupled with a happy and lively disposition. This aspect favors the success of relationships and believes in the transforming power of Love. This aspect takes Love to a whole new level and dimension.

I would not normally do this for Bruce Springsteen because I disagree with him politically on SO MANY levels, but I have to make an exception because his song 'Cover Me' fits so well into this write-up and I like to dance to it. Can't help myself. I also have to get past myself in order to deliver you a write-up that gets the message across, which just so happens to include this song.

If you do not see the video embedded below, here is the link with the lyrics to 'Cover Me'. Keep reading . . . there is more . . .

Also, I have been writing to you about the 29th degree of Pluto in Capricorn for several years and taking that more in depth over the past month talking about the Anaretic Degree aka Karmic Degree aka 29th Degree (same thing). Call it want you want, I call it the 29th Degree. I like to call things by what they really are - like male and female, in and out, up and down, North and South, East and West. But that's just me. Some things really are, what they are.

So you can slap a $50 word on the 29th Degree, or call it the Last Degree, but I like solid descriptions without having fanfare, confusion or without having to pull teeth, so I just call it the 29th Degree. So from now on, I will be calling out the 29th Degree when a planet gets there just to keep you on your toes.

Yesterday Venus entered the 29th degree, which continues on until Venus enters Sagittarius at 3:24 PM EST this afternoon. Then Venus will begin at 00 degrees 00 minutes 00 seconds at that exact time and continue on until it reaches 29 degrees 59 minutes 59 seconds and then it will change at the last second to Capricorn on January 23rd and I will point out the 29th Degree AGAIN!

So those born during this 29th Degree will have this 29th Degree forever in their Natal Chart, those with Solar Returns during the timing of the 29th Degree will carry this aspect until their next birthday in 2024, and the rest of us will experience it as a transit. GOT IT?

All the same, take the 'Cover Me' lesson of such committed Love beyond just these few days during the 'orb of influence'.

One last thing, the Capricorn birthdays from last night, Thursday - December 28, 2023 at 7:23 PM EST until Sunday - December 31, 2023 at 6:53 AM EST will have the Leo Moon in their Solar Return. Now folks, this is IMPORTANT.

Capricorn rules the 10th house of the authority figure, the CEO, the boss, and the manager. Leo energy is THE LEADER, not the boss. Those of you with birthdays during this time CANNOT whirl into the room and start barking out orders and expect people to do as you say. You might do that normally, as Capricorn runs a tight ship, but you will not get any follow-through or respect having this Leo Moon present on your birthday without being a leader first. Good luck with that if you are just a bossy Capricorn.

So if you have a birthday during this Leo Moon, your effectiveness this year will come through LEADERSHIP, not bossy-face attitude. That's a Good way to demoralize the troops and create a mutiny.

Capricorn's with the Leo Moon from Thursday - December 28, 2023 at 7:23 PM EST until Sunday - December 31, 2023 at 6:53 AM EST need to become Good leaders this year. In other words, they are rolling up their sleeves and leading by example, not just barking out orders. You can do both, but if you just bark out orders, then you can count on others biting back (not barking) and disrepecting you. You know, respect is earned, not demanded.
