The Moon in Sagittarius opposing Mars in Gemini at 2:39 AM EST. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

Mercury in Capricorn turns 'Direct' at 8:12 AM EST and continues in Capricorn until February 11, 2023.

The Sun in Capricorn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn at 9:44 AM EST where it began in applying degrees on January 8, 2023, it is exact today, and will last in separating degrees until January 27, 2023.

The Moon in Sagittarius quincunx Uranus in Taurus at 1:42 PM EST. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

The Moon in Sagittarius sextile Venus in Aquarius at 10:05 AM EST. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

Folks, today we are seeing an incredible relationship of planetary action. YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST pay attention to the energy that is occurring RIGHT NOW.

It is important to note this date, Wednesday - January 18, 2023 and the time slot we are in right now, that leads us up to February 11, 2023, which is exactly in three (3) weeks and four (4) days. Again the time slot is Wednesday - January 18, 2023 up to February 11, 2023.

Today Mercury in Capricorn turns 'Direct' at 08 degrees. So the entire Mercury Retrograde (Rx) movement took us back in time to December 12, 2022, which is when Mercury was last at 08 degrees. That's how this works. We have to go back in time, in order to see, do, repair, fix, change, become aware, wake-up, realize . . something. Then the energy moves forward again as we are now in a different mindset. More enLightened, if you will. Mercury rules 'the mind'.

Mercury in Capricorn is super-practical, rational and reads nothing into a matter. It is what it is. What you see is what you get. There is no other interpretation other than what you see. Look! It's right there.

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck . . . IT'S A DAMN DUCK!

Mercury in Capricorn will keep trekking forward climbing in degrees until he moves out of Capricorn, which will be on Saturday - February 11, 2023. In the meantime, Mercury remains in Capricorn and has a super-sober mind. He is not blinded by his own views, thoughts or wishes. What he sees, is what he sees. Don't call it something that it is not. "Call things by their right names!"" says Mercury in Capricorn and "Do NOT try to convince what I see is something else. I know what the 'F' I see!

Mercury in Capricorn is fully awake and is calling out hypocrites, liars, cheats, thieves, blasphemers, plagiarizers, pirates, imposters, pretenders, phonies, Pharisees, false prophets (profits), wolves in sheeps clothing, fabricator, false witnesses, spinners, perjurers and the like.

Folks, I have the Moon and Saturn in Capricorn, and as a Gemini, and North Node Virgo, which both are naturally ruled by Mercury, I cannot stand those who steal the work of others. CAN'T STAND IT! There is a reason why I will typically NOT post Daily Horoscopes ahead of time, although I will prep the pages. It's because there are so many thieves and plagiarists in Astrology who have no idea what they are doing, they copy the works of others and claim it as their own. If you look under the banner at the top of this website, there is a tiny little banner that says, "Protected by COPYSCAPE Do Not Copy". There are two (2) more logo banners of 'Copyscape' in the right side navigation column. This means I can track who copies my work and puts it on their website. Yepsie-Doodle.

Now folks, this is different that sharing my work and providing a link. When someone copies my work and puts it on their blog or website, I have a real problem with that and I will go after you. I absolutely DO NOT visit other astrology sites for the sheer reason of keeping my work pure and not even accidentally embedding someone else's work into mine. I like putting the pieces together before your eyes, for you and with you. [Keep reading . . . ]

GET YOUR SOLAR RETURN! When the Sun 'Returns' to the same sign, degree and minute as when you were born

Wed. Jan. 18, 2023 Mercury in Capricorn 'Direct' at 8:12 AM EST until February 11, 2023

Let that be said, even though I do not have Mercury in Capricorn, my Moon and Saturn in Capricorn, and as a Gemini, and North Node Virgo, sure make it appear that way because I will CALL IT OUT!

Those of you who have already been paying 'wide-attention', you should be seeing some eyes open and some mouths running from some who were previously so far off base, they were falling off a cliff on their 'views', because their view was so far off center. But now, they are seeing a ray of Light and saying, "Hey wait a minute!" Folks there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between 'wide-attention' and 'attention'. The field of vision is not a narrow furrow in the field, it's a wide open landscape of reality.

Saturday - February 11, 2023 is also an important date because that is the same date when Pluto in Capricorn enters the final degree at 29 degrees for the first time. February 11, 2023 is the 1st of 3 times that Pluto will enter 29 degrees before it finally leaves Capicorn and enters Aquarius for the final and third time on November 18, 2024.

The first time Pluto in Capricorn enters 29 degrees will be February 11, 2023. Then Pluto will enter Aquarius on March 25, 2023 but then due to a retrograde, Pluto will trek backwards and re-enter Capricorn and we will see a second transit at 29 degrees Capricorn on December 19, 2023.

Pluto will re-enter Aquarius on January 20, 2024 (interesting date dont'cha think), and then the final third time Pluto enters Capricorn at 29 degrees due to another retrograde will be October 12, 2024 until November 18, 2024 where it will finally leave Capricorn for Good and enter Aquarius for the third time for twenty (20) years, which is an entire generation. Actually it's 18-1/2 years.

Now you can see why it takes Pluto approximately 248 years to orbit the Sun and make it through all twelve (12) Sun Signs. We will NEVER see another Pluto in Capricorn in our Lifetime. [Keep reading . . . ]

Pluto in Capricorn Transiting Calendar Transiting Degree Calendar

Pluto in Capricorn write-up Until November 18, 2024

The last time Pluto was in Capricorn was from 1762 and 1778 when the people were running, leaving, and sailing away from those in a position of authority and those in high places were falling like King George III and Marie Antoinette. Notice the U.S. claimed its independence in 1776. So yes, we are in a repeat cycle. We are in a pattern with Pluto in Capricorn.

The Uniparty will lose. They will. They will lose! And those in power right now, will be exposed. And it will be ugly. Very ugly. Have you prepped yet?

The other pattern that shows up is the Sun in Capricorn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn. This exact same aspect (pictured below with the hands) has been showing up 'in the sign of Capricorn' since December 22, 2008 at 00 degrees and today it shows up again 'in the sign of Capricorn' at 28 degrees.

So for the last 15 years we have seen this pattern of the Sun conjunct Pluto 'in the sign of Capricorn'. Before this, the pattern was in the sign of Sagittarius for 13 years. This is the last Sun conjunct Pluto (in the sign of Capricorn) that we will see for another 248 years.

Pluto now moves in and out of Capricorn until November 18, 2024, which means it will last through the next election cycle in the United States, but it will move into Aquarius before it can conjunct in Capricorn again. Then it will be Aquarius's turn to experience Pluto for the next twenty (20) years. Actually, it will be 18-1/2 years.

Like I said, it takes Pluto 248 years to transit through all twelve (12) sun signs. Pluto 'does not' transit the same amount of time in each sign. For Sagittarius it was 13 years, for Capricorn it is 16 years and for Aquarius it will be a solid generation of people, 18-1/2 years.

During this time the Sun conjunct Pluto is being accompanied by Mercury turning Direct and both are telling us to look to February 11, 2023 when Pluto hits 29 degrees for the 1st of 3 transits at 29 degrees.

Remember folks, Pluto, Uranus and Neptune are generational planets impacting and influencing an entire generation of people, while at the same time impacting and influencing us on a personal level in our own charts. That is where the generation of our own family is experiencing a pattern that needs to be broken. The pattern needs to end with us. Whatever the family pattern is. [Keep reading . . . ]

GET YOUR SOLAR RETURN! When the Sun 'Returns' to the same sign, degree and minute as when you were born

Wed. Jan. 18, 2023 Applying degrees begin on Jan. 8, 2023 Exact on Jan. 18, 2023 at 9:44 AM EST Separating degrees end on Jan. 27, 2023

In the generational horoscopes I wrote, "These are generational shifts because these are generational planets (Pluto, Neptune and Uranus), which tells us that patterns are being broken on a generation of people. What will make you a Good astrologer is being able to see the patterns. These patterns that 'have to be' broken are recurring themes, ideas, habits and behaviors that have been handed down from generation to generation through the family. Breaking these patterns is going to hurt and it is going to hurt bad. Patterns are hard to break, but they must be broken for us to move forward as a population of people. Pluto, Neptune and Uranus (the planets on this page) are affecting us all. These are not personal planets, they are generational planets that affect 'a generation'."

When patterns are being broken it never feels Good. Heck, it's hard enough just to change the part in your hair and comb it a different direction. Day-after-day the hair flops back to where it was use to laying until one day, it finally stays. Changing any type of habit or pattern is never that easy.

Training and practicing takes time, so when we are moving as a collective, a population, a group of people who speak different languages and come from different backgrounds, cultures and families, it's just not easy. It's going to take some time.

In this collection of energies, generations of people are going through massive change together, as the influence comes from the outside world, outside of our own family or circle, and then impacts us personally inside of that circle. And it's all of us. No one will escape it.

In order to move through Pluto energy it will take maturity, responsibility, discipline, longevity, commitment, practicality and groundedness. In other words, some firm footing. Pluto is rarely ever easy under any circumstance because his natural tendency is to transform and leave EVERYTHING different and changed from where he found it. Pluto will shake, rattle and roll everything, so that the layers are peeled back and we can see the core.

Pluto is 'the purge'. He has been sitting in the sign of Capricorn purging and purging and purging. Anything that Capricorn rules is getting purged. Look at your natal chart where Pluto rules and you will see this area of your Life is getting purged and transformed.

This has been a pattern that we have all been experiencing since 2008. What happened in 2008 or well into 2009 that changed so drastically in your Life? Can you look back and see that something back then shifted that put you on the path where you are today?

The intention of Pluto is to 'transform'. This means an area of your Life will look completely different from its beginning after Pluto gets a hold of it. Pluto will not let go or let up until it completely makes over that area of your Life. In this case, it comes under the 'guise' of Capricorn.

Pluto transforms 'so much' that it will take you down to the bare minimum so you can see what it is you need to see. If that is how you need to see the value or meaning in something, then so mote it be. If your house, health, money, family, career, etc., need to be rocked, shaken and stirred, in order to for you see the value, then that is how it will be. Perhaps you don't think Pluto needed to nearly destroy your Life in order for you to see, but maybe, just maybe it did.

Pluto purges. He is not looking for complexity, he is actually looking for simplicity. Pluto operates under the cloak of darkness. You don't see him coming. Pluto rules the netherworld, the underworld, hades, hell and the darkness. When Hades visited the human world, he always work the 'invisibility cloak' or the mask that made him invisible. No one saw him coming or going.

Remember, this Pluto transit is operating in Capricorn, the sign that rules celebrities, diva's, the palace, high ranking people, the government, the military, the police, the career, the profession, those in a position of authority, father figures, those in a position of power, status in the community and rank in society. Pluto has been rocking these worlds for quite a long time and now that we are on the other end of Pluto in Capricorn, we can now see from the Pluto in Capricorn write-up, that is exactly what happened.

Pluto is obsessive, it is compulsive and it is abusive. Note where you have Pluto in your natal chart so you can see where the obsession, compulsion and abuse resides in your chart. Abuse does not necessarily mean that someone is abusing you, it can mean that you are abusing yourself that daily habits, or maybe it means you are abusing money. It just depends on where Pluto shows up for you. That is the area of compulsion, obsession and abuse that needs to transformed once and for all. If it means being brought to your knees through a health scare or the house swept off its foundation for that to happen, then I guess that's the way it will be.

The Sun conjunct Pluto means that the two (2) energies are intensified by each other. This is an incredible amount of power that is being shifted and remade. The Sun is big, bold, flaming and full of fire. Pluto is transformational, it's regenerative and it is explosive. KABAMMO! Imagine coupling the ball of fire (the Sun) with a massive dose of Plutonium (Pluto) and the impact that it will have. Yeah, it's BIG! It's freakin' BIG!

Remember, back a few paragraphs I wrote, "In order to move through Pluto energy it will take maturity, responsibility, discipline, longevity, commitment, practicality and groundedness. In other words, some firm footing." We do have that in the sign of Capricorn. No matter how hard the mountain shakes, the Billy goat hangs in there as their hooves act like suction cups attached to the mountain. The sign of Capricorn is very serious, self-disciplined and only thinks in a practical sense.

The Sun conjunct Pluto is such a powerful combination of planets and it is intense to the nth degree. Remember, he is compulsive, obsessive and abusive. He is working on you to rid yourself of all three (3) in the area that need be. He is also doing this to the masses on a global scale. The purge will occur with or without your permission. You may find yourself getting rid of boxes and boxes of scrap, clothes, papers, piles and junk.

This aspect is looking to minimize in order to maximize. Where energy is scattered and strewn amongst 'things' (materialism) then energy is lost. It's too much. You are being directed to purge, detox and eliminate. You can not move forward with so much energy clinging to your ankles and holding you back. Let it go! Purge the materialism and find value where it really matters.

The Sun conjunct Pluto seeks to recreate, regenerate and reform taking you to higher planes of existence wherein you can also take others with you. So you see, this aspect carries a tremendous amount of influence, which reminds me of my favorite quote by Clint Eastwood, "It takes tremendous discipline to control the influence, the power you have over other people's lives." There's that necessary Capricorn energy again that is so grounded and practical that it helps you keep your Good sense about it.

Those who have abused and misused their power (Pluto), they are falling like dominoes, which are those in a position of authority (Capricorn), which equals 'the dictator'.

Look at the area in your natal chart or Solar Return ruled by Capricorn at 28 degrees where you can empower, repower, recreate, regenerate, reform and transform this area of your life and others. This aspect tells us that we hold the world in the palm of our hands and we have the power to influence and impact others. We have the power to influence the masses and either empower them or disempower them.

Then on February 11, 2023 Pluto in Capricorn moves into its final degree of 29 degrees before it moves into Aquarius for a handful of months.

We also recognize the egomaniacs who have this Sun conjunct Pluto power who hold the world in the palm of their hand and abuse it. We are seeing our fill of this type of energy, but its what had to be in order for us to see. Who knew with enough power, the powers that be would yield their power in the way that we have witnessed. It's interesting to see those who have bowed and knelt to that power and those who have not.

There is two (2) years left of Pluto in Capricorn and its really not 'fully' in Capricorn, because Pluto will move in and out of Aquarius a couple of times and spend a significant time in Aquarius, especially in 2024. Check the Pluto in Capricorn Transiting Degree Calendar.

If you still cannot see or will not see . . . eventually you will, even if it has to be the hard way. Time will tell the final tale of just how corrupt, obsessive and abusive power can be when it is given, stolen, taken, surrendered, manipulated and then transformed.

Buckle up, gird your loins, and #PrepYoAss, as I keep saying, "You ain't seen nuttin' yet."
