The BIG NEWS today is Mercury in Pisces squares Jupiter in Sagittarius and Venus in Capricorn conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn. MY GOSH! Talk about drama! No wonder the Academy Awards (Oscars) always occurs during the Season of Pisces (when the planets are bouncing around Pisces). Not only do we experience these two (2) incredibly dramatic major aspects, we also experience four (4) lunar aspects, three (3) of which are squares tossing more drama into the mix. Those of you with a birthday occurring around this date, will have this drama in your Solar Return impacting you for the next year. I can't tell you how important it is to read and then re-read your Solar Return so you know exactly what you are dealing with over the next year. It was an ugly Solar Return I was dealing with a couple of years ago that alerted me to how important it was for to alert you. And because of that, I will always press on the gas and tell you to READ YOUR SOLAR RETURN because the aspects occurring around that date (your birthday) impact you until the next birth date! If you are wondering what the hell is going on and why, then read your Solar Return again and again.

Today Mercury squares Jupiter. This isn't any ol' Mercury square Jupiter. This is Mercury in Pisces, who tells the big fish stories. Pisces is the storyteller with the eyes all bugged out and in full theater and story tellin' mode. Now we drop Mercury, the communicator, into this aspect and we get 'the exaggerator'. Even more interesting to note is Mercury naturally opposes Jupiter because Mercury naturally rules Gemini and Jupiter naturally rules Sagittarius, so this is a natural opposition tossed into a square that is occurring between them today. Talk about hard communication. Not only that, Mercury also naturally rules Virgo, wherein Virgo and Sagittarius are natural squares. So on top of today's square between Mercury and Jupiter, this aspect also carries the energy of a natural opposition and a natural square. This is not the day to handle important conversations, make commitments, sign agreements, settle a dispute, have an operation or even go to the doctor when communication is this challenging.

There are a lot of ideas being thrown around, plans being made, schedules laid out and bags being packed but none of it really goes anywhere. There are just so many options that you may not be sure which way to go or which plan (path) to follow. It all sounds so optimistic, wonderful and highly inflated because Jupiter expands whatever it touches, so it is INFLATED! Promises will not be kept and this energy bites off more than it can chew. There is also a rush to judgment where decisions are being made on insufficient or exaggerated information.

Now let's toss romance on to this pile of drama. Venus in Capricorn conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn who is not going to be in the mood for the drama of relationships when there is work to be done. If anything is going to take you off your work-game, it is going to be Love, romance and relationships. Venus conjunct Pluto is boy crazy or girl crazy. It is an incredibly dramatic placement for Love, which also makes Love karmic. So those of you with this aspect in your Solar Return, this is relationship karma! This energy is so passionate and intense that you will swear that you are made for each other, that you are soulmates and that you are here to teach each other a lesson. Nevermind the lesson could be just to get the hell away from each other, but nope, this makes a person in Love just keep coming back for more. Nevermind the lesson could be in how to move on and Love yourself the way you desire to be Loved thereby attracting the same in return. Karma does not mean keep you have to keep repeating the same damn thing over and over again, that's called insanity, karma intends for you to learn and grow, not continue on until you are miserable and crazy. Unconditional Love does not mean continue on in broken pieces.

What this aspect should be used for is to fight injustice. This aspect of 'unconditional Love' should be to Love fiercely and come to the defense of those who are defenseless, not channeled into crazy Love. In relationships, a healthy couple can use this aspect to say to one another, "We are in this difficult time together and we will get through it together." If romance and chocolate is slathered all over this aspect, then the real juice of it is NOT being used. This isn't about romance, it's about 'Real Love'. Romance fades, but real Love is truly unconditional. When romance is tied up in this aspect, it just becomes a mess and the real intent of it is lost in translation. If romance is all the person can think about, then deep disappointment sets in when others fail to soar to such great emotional heights. This aspect is in the sign of Capricorn, so while one person is romancing, the other person is enjoying and Loving their work more, which can cause the romantic person to plummet into the emotional depths. This is definitely a tough aspect if you have to be romanced. Again, if you have a birth date surrounding this date, you will have these two (2) major aspects in your Solar Return.

As far as the lunar aspects occurring today, there are three (3) squares out of the four (4) lunar aspects occurring, which contribute to the emotional drama, moodiness and over-sensitivity. Remember this date, especially until March 1st, 2019 where you are concerned about Love.
