The BIG NEWS today is the Sun in Aquarius conjuncts Saturn in Aquarius. As THE MOST Freedom-Loving sign (Aquarius), this is a BFD (big hairy deal).

Further, Saturn is the ancient ruler of Aquarius, which means Saturn is in his 'home' placement. If you have studied the 'Dignity and Delibility' page then you already knew this.

So Saturn is the co-ruler of Aquarius and Capricorn. Due to Saturn's natural rulership on Aquarius, this is what makes Aquarius more conservative in nature, and I mean that as the opposite of extravagant. Aquarius wants both quality and not just quantity, especially in the area of friends.

Aquarian's are generally not all that flashy because their value system is friends, acquaintances, their groups, their posse and their 'circulation' of connections, friendships and relationships. Connections are EXTREMELY important to Aquarius. It is the key to their success.

Think of the Daily Horoscopes here as being an Astrology class. Having said that, always come to class with your chart. Even if you take a picture of it on your phone. Bring your ass to class with your chart. The notes are here, so all you have to do is pay attention. You don't even have to write anything down. How easy is that? You can just sit back and read, or listen, once I get the 'Talking Feather' posted at the top of this write-up.

Think a little longer on the word 'circulation'. I use single apostrophe's a lot to highlight a word in my writings, which I did in 4th paragraph. I'm super-deliberate with the words I choose.

So in order to understand the depth of this aspect, because it is more than just wanting to break free of restrictions, let's mentate on the word 'circulation'. To circulate means to pass through, in and out, free of any restriction. At the same time, circulate means to move continuously through and freely a closed system. Keep reading . . .

Thu. Feb. 16, 2023 Applying degrees begin February 7, 2023 Exact on Feb. 16, 2023 at 11:48 AM EST Separating degrees end on February 24, 2023

Example 1 - Leaving the windows open so the air passes through, in and out, free of any restriction.

Example 2 - Blood moving through the body, which is a closed system.

Example 3 - People moving around a big room, space or venue, a closed area. Rules tell us there has to be a 'circulation' of air.

You get the picture? Circulation 'can be' an open or closed system, which means circulation 'does not' like to be restricted. Ya' gotta have air. By the way, Aquarius is an 'air sign' not a water sign. The glyph is Aquarius pouring energy and knowledge into the world. It is not water. Aquarius is one of the three (3) intellectual air signs - Aquarius, Gemini and Libra.

This is an important point. When you restrict circulation, something gets trapped and it won't be pretty.

When you restrict blood, it can clot, veins can bulge, you could experience angina (heart pain), fingers and toes turn blue, you could experience numbness, pins and needles, you may experience swelling, or muscle aches and pains. You see, restricting circulation is a dangerous thing to the human body.

Now imagine restricting the human in any form. Too much enclosure is a dangerous thing. Alliances that are 'closed' are a dangerous thing. Now imagine Congress, which is ruled by Aquarius meandering and wandering about 'the House' floor. Then spilling out in the hallways and into the offices. The Senate, same thing. Aquarius rules Congress.

Aquarius rules the circulation through the body. Think of it this way, Leo rules the heart. So it stands to reason that Aquarius 'has to' rule the opposite and be compatible with the heart, which is the circulation.

Opposite signs are compatible folks! They are not supposed to be a tug-of-war! They are the perfect balance. We can't have everything, so we get what we need through the opposite sign.

Aquarius rules the ankles and the pedal pulse. There are actually four (4) places on the foot/ankle to get a pedal pulse. Look them up. Know them for the Aquarian (knowledge) in you and your chart. When you look them up, then you will remember that Aquarius rules circulation, in all forms. Aquarius - "I know therefore I am."

So right now, the Sun and Saturn are in the same degree and sign - both in Aquarius at 27 degrees 45 minutes. Conjunctions intensify the energies of the two (2) planets involved.

The Sun has an identity and wants to express itself. Saturn is trying to put a limit on expressing yourself and what you believe you can accomplish. Some, who have not matured enough, will really feel this restriction where Saturn puts a limit on what you can accomplish. Saturn is the old man of the zodiac. He's the authority figure. He wants you to get out there and live your Life, but be mature, responsible and disciplined about it. Do not hurt anyone.

Those who have matured to a wonderful rebellious point, will break free of restrictions without having broke any rules and will do their own thing.

I am a living example of this energy right now. Having broke FREE of FB and decided to run off on my own. Have you seen the 'home page' since yesterday afternoon or last night? In addition to the 'Talking Feather' at the top of this page where you hear this Daily Horoscope as a recording, I am also bringing back my other website - www.DrStandleyLIVE.com and the Astrology Message Boards will open up some time today. I have a couple more friends I want to go there (the message boards) and play with it. Then I will open up the gates.

This is MY WAY of circulating through friends, acquaintances, groups and communicating as we Gemini's like to do without censorship, restriction or pointing fingers. I am doing all of this under the aspect of Venus conjunct Neptune (yesterday), which is pretty much 'Blind Faith' and the Sun conjunct Saturn today. I did not plan this, I hit the wall Sunday night on FB and had enough. I broke FREE and began all of these changes on Monday. It's called 'following your intuition', guides, angels and earth angels, self.

The Sun rules the personality, identity, the self, the ego and how you approach the world. Saturn is looking to limit what you believe you can accomplish and messes with your identity. Saturn squeezes and restricts the personality and self-expression. It can also limit your ambition and goals. Unless you break FREE!

Folks, I have Jupiter in Aquarius. Seriously! I DO NOT like to be restricted, limited, held back or held down by anyone. Jupiter is THE MOST Freedom-Loving planet in THE MOST Freedom-Loving sign. I gotta be me!

This conjunction 'can be' really great even in the midst of the angst in the air because once you learn how to express yourself freely, then the ties that bind you are undone. POOF! The handcruffs come off and the mask comes off the mouth. FREE EXPRESSION!

I sure hope creative people like artists and writers understand how deep 'cancel culture' can ruin the artistic realm. Your soul has to be brave enough to say you can not and will not put me in a box or hold me down. 'F' TOTALLY OFF!

You MUST LEARN with this aspect how to master self-limitation. This means restrict yourself where you need to be restricted and unrestrict yourself where you do not need to be restricted, which is in self-expression. That is so important, so I'll say it again.

"You MUST LEARN with this aspect how to master self-limitation. This means restrict yourself where you need to be restricted and unrestrict yourself where you do not need to be restricted, which is in self-expression."

You can and will find a way to break through the chains or release the ties that bind you. You might take notice of the restrictions you are putting on others, which makes YOU the retrictor, the limitor and the squeezor. Well, well, well, who the hell are you? Who died and made you the boss of me? So I need to be this way, for you? Really?

See that's my Jupiter in Aquarius. Uranus is the modern day ruler of Aquarius. If you want to see rebellion, then mess with an Aquarius, or someone with Jupiter in Aquarius. I'll show you who is boss me! If our relationship is too restrictive, you will know it, and it may not even come in the form of a verbal cue. I will just POOF, disappear! (winky wink)

This aspect will give you the opportunity to look at restriction in your Life and how you have contributed to or bought into 'the restriction'.

I have to stop now and teach my first yoga class today - Yin for the Shoulders. And boy oh' boy do I need it. So I will be back after this class to check for typos and then add some more . . . there is more . . . and I will MOST DEFINITELY have a RED FONT ADDENDUM. So read this, and know that I will be back to add more after I teach this class and before my next class. There will be 45 minutes in-between classes. And then I will record the 'Talking Feather'. So much to do and plenty of time since I will not be hanging out on FB wasting my minutes. Later gators.

I came back after teaching my first yoga class and made corrections to the typos and added some lines or a couple of small paragraphs. If you already read it, then there's some tidbits you missed.

Now I'm getting ready to teach my second yoga class this morning - Gentle Twist. Totally a gentle class with some light twisting. Nice and easy class for just about anyone. No chaturanga dandasana's in this class, although we do 'earth salutations' (super easy ones). Anyway, this is a 45 minute class and then I will come back again before the next class and see if I can get the recording complete before the next class at 11:00 AM EST which is 'Abs and As(s)ana'. This is a kick yo' ass class (abs and ass as the name implies). I don't teach class, I take it. I'm committed to being able to fly my crow 'Bakasana' and stand on my head 'Salamba Shirshasana' even 20 years from now. I'm 61. (winky wink).

I'll be back soon . . . with more and the talking feather . . . and a RED FONT ADDENDUM.

As a side note, look at the list of 2023 Planetary Retrogrades to the right. Notice that as of January 18, 2023, there are NO PLANETS RETROGRADE up until April 21, 2023 when Mercury will Retrograde 'again'.

So you can expect a lot of awareness, quickness, steadfast forward change, from the masses as they begin to awaken from their slumber-fairy-dust-sleep. There's going to be a lot of, "Oh sh!t".

This is the time to press on the gas and cram as much productivity you can in a short period of time. Oh right up my alley. Cram 55 lbs. in a 5 lb. can.

Folks, it is time to put on your skates because it's a power play. All the skaters are on the ice and you have a chance to score some points with the Universe.

Remember the quote from Wayne Gretzky, the greatest hockey player of all time? "I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been."

Cram as much as you can and get as much accomplished as you can before April 21, 2023. We will take a look back then at today's writing when the time comes.
