UPDATE FROM YESTERDAY'S RED FONT ADDENDUM . . . After teaching two (2) yoga classes I left to go to my hair appointment. It was sleeting. But it was a hair appointment!!! So I kept going. We live rurally, so there I was behind this huge piece of farm equipment traveling 20 miles per hour below the speed limit on a two-lane road. Well, I arrived early at the appointment because I left early. In my world, if I'm 10 minutes early, I'm already late. North Node Virgo here! Anyway, I was in the chair for three (3) hours because I'm embracing my gray and I had to get foiled. My hair is past my waist, so there's a lot of hair to blend. During that time in the chair it snowed and sleeted super-heavy. While driving back and white knuckling the steering wheel, I was also driving at a snails pace. Needless to say, writing more on the 'red font addendum' did not happen. So I will continue with my 'red font addendum' today after I finish writing this Daily Horoscope. I will have plenty of time.

The BIG NEWS today is Venus in Aquarius conjuncts Pluto in Aquarius. We know drama is present because Pluto is present. He enjoys power, control, passion and drama. When coupled with Venus (Love and money) then its like a match to the energy to make the flames burn bigger, brighter and better. This is incredibly dramatic energy.

Remember that conjunctions intensify the energy of the planets involved, meaning Venus (Love and money) along with Pluto (power) is intensified. This is conjunction is also 'Karmic Love', which can cause you to feel consumed by Love and/or money. This might sound great to you, but for me, I will admit that I do not particularly like consuming-Love. It's too much. It's too big. It's too dramatic. It's too controlling. And it's too emotional for a gal like me.

Folks, keep in mind Pluto is jealous, cruel, and obsessive. This aspect is addictive Love, dominating and quite frankly, neurotic.

Consuming Love takes too much work and energy for 'real Love'. Consuming Love is NOT real Love. Real adult Loving relationships are not consumed by Love where they eat you up and eat your alive. Venus conjunct Pluto usually needs approval or permission. EEK! So, while this infinite symbol of 'Karmic Love' sounds romantic, I assure you, it's not that dang romantic. It's full of relationship-egg-shell-walking. So this aspect, I won't be a fan of it.

One of the first awarenesses I had with my Scorpion King was that I was not consumed by the relationship (neither was he) and this felt Good for both of us. The constant pleasing or displeasure in a relationship is consuming, which you have probably no doubt felt. It's awful. For us to 'not' be consumed by Love meant we were not losing ourselves to the relationship. We are still our individual selves Loving each other.

Carrie Bradshaw in 'Sex in the City' says to Alex Protrovsky while in a Paris Hotel room, "I am someone who looking for Love. Real Love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't live without each other Love." Whoaaaa, now see that is a dangerous statement because it's out-of-touch with reality and daily living with another. And the way she said it was so dramatic and Cinderella-ish. You still have to get up after the worst day of your Life or a hard days night, feed the children, cook, pay bills and juggle Life. Carrie Bradshaw had girlfriends, no family, no children, just skippity-doo-dah through the streets of New York writing articles for Vogue, buying shoes, having cocktails and obsessing over men. It wasn't real, but man that quote sounded sweet, until you think about it. Keep reading there is more Good info here . . .

While 'Unconditional Love' with this aspect 'can' sound so Lovely, romantic and beautiful, in this energy with Pluto, it's not. Unconditional Love in this aspect gives someone else permission to do whatever they want to you, while you are holding onto their ankles as they are walking out the door. This aspect can be dirty, cruel and nasty. I means NASTY! Unconditional Love means 'without conditions' as the two (2) individuals are still pressing and forcing to make something work after being treated so cruel and unkind, manipulated and cheated, twisted and perverted. That's Pluto! Venus also connects to personal money, so there's that as well.

Venus conjunct Pluto expects the partner to feel the same way and often gets its feelings hurt because the partner did not respond as big and over-the-top as it would have liked. This aspect can lead to deep 'disappointment', which is one-of-the worst words in the world, along with 'shame' or 'ashamed'. When the partner does not fly-over-the-moon and melt in response, sulking, pouting, despair, depression and all of the other sad words kick in.

Venus conjunct Pluto soars to great heights and then plummets to the ground, into emotional depths like a hot air balloon that just lost its fire. Actually, Venus conjunct Pluto is manic. It is just like manic depression, supreme highs and deep crevicing lows. That's too damn emotional and crazy for anyone to be happy.

On the positive side of Venus conjunct Pluto for the folks who are mature, responsible, disciplined adults while in Love, this aspect will be fiercely loyal. Now THAT I can dig on. I am loyal to people even when I don't even like them anymore. I STILL will not tell their stuff that they shared with me. Won't do it!! Cause hey, that's real loyalty. Real loyalty stands the test of time and emotions. Loyalty is not fleeting and conditional. Loyalty does not change or shift because you are angry, unfriend or fall out of Love. It's flippin' LOYAL.

Now see that's what I Love about this aspect. That's Life and that's real Love, even when you are no longer in-Love or friends.

A disloyal person, was disloyal all along. Loyalty is not a quality they carried in the first place. For this reason, take your time getting to know someone and you will not be so surprised when in a snap they change and don't like you anymore. Oh well. The past pattern can and will predict the future pattern.

The most negative about this aspect is the out-of-control control that is coupled with perversion, sexual passion, ownership, self-indulgence and super-low self-worth. Only someone with low self-worth would try to control and manipulate another person and call that sh!t Love. There is a 'neediness' that will show up in some who have this aspect and that is something those individuals will have to live with, twist and channel into something else besides making someone else dance to their consuming Love. That is a helluva lot of pressure to put on someone else, which is to match the crazy Love in this aspect.

Perhaps you will feel needy or like young Love in this aspect. Okay. Let that be it. Be fun, youthful and silly. But consuming Love? Just stop with the Carrie Bradshaw fairytale in Paris cause you still have to wake-up, go to work and feed the children.

I have to do a reading for 90 minutes, so I will be back to finish up any thoughts. Come back in a few hours to see what I added after I came back from the reading.
