Before writing today's Daily Horoscope, I have been writign a ton of commentary below first. Before I even rolled out of bed this morning, I was looking at my phone and there was a message notification on my DrStandleyAstrology Fakebook page. A woman who will remain unnamed (because I believe her to be uninformed or misinformed) she asked the following in the quote below. If I believed her to be a hater, then I would not hesitate to use her name and counterpunch harder, but I honestly believe she is not punching me (maybe a little bit) but I believe she is more uninformed or misinformed and she's just asking a question. We don't have to hate those who don't agree with us or who do not understand. What she has done is create an opportunity for me to educate others more clearly. I'm all about being 'clear'.

I have addressed this in the commentary below because I believe she just doesn't get it. I do not believe her to be stupid or dumb or any name calling. I believe she just doesn't get the big picture. Now listen Astrotators, NO MATTER WHAT your political views, do not go hating on her. We know haters when we see them and her question is not like that. When people just don't know, that's another story. She is asking a question that deserves to be answered and she obviously does not understand why politics are used and why you have to be one brave-ass astrologer to stand your ground in politics and interpret Astrology. It's important enough that it made me get up out of bed because you know I believe in the 'Cockroach Theory' which says, "Where there is one, there are many." So if one person does not understand, then there must be others. This is not like the guy who sent me the hateful text that I posted in the Daily Horoscope yesterday. This is different. She just doesn't know. Let's use the 'I KNOW THEREFORE I AM' Aquarian energy that is swirling around us all and educate. Let's not get angry, let's educate.

As for today's Daily Horoscope. Notice there are two (2) major aspects occurring today accompanied by three (3) lunar aspects. Venus trine Mars is the perfect blend of male and female energies. It is a perfect blend of estrogen and testosterone energies. It's the perfect balance of yin and yang. It's the perfect blend of cold and hot. It's just Lovely. And it's so HOT that it has sex and sexy written all over it. I'm telling you, it is HOT HOT HOT! If you aren't looking for the pitter-patter of little feet in 9 months, you might want to take the necessary precautions.

Interestingly enough, Mars is the natural ruler of the 1st house of me, myself and I, while Venus is the natural ruler of the opposite 7th house of us, we and ours. Mars is also a natural trine from the 1st house to 5th house of Love, intimacy, dating and pleasure, while Venus is a natural sextile from the 7th house of committed relationships and marriage to the 5th house of Love, intimacy, dating and pleasure. This placement has sexy, Love and romance slathered all over it. This aspect enjoys pleasure and wants to please.

This aspect breeds a warm, affectionate, and just downright wonderful energy and brings out the best in people. This aspect makes it easy to get along well with others because it does not make demands on others and the willingness to compromise often brings the concessions you want.

Mercury conjuncts Saturn which carries the energy of painstaking logic and skepticism. Maybe this is why I had to load and reload and then reload again the commentary and pack it full. This aspect can cause others to say, "Can't you just expand your mind or be more open?" but question is more like Mercury conjunct Jupiter, and this aspect is Mercury conjunct Saturn. Jupiter expands, opens up and blows things out of proportion, while Saturn restricts, squeezes and limits. Being that this aspect is tighter and more restrictive, then it has more of a scientific mind, than a creative and expanded mind.

So we are getting into some critical thinking here. This is where you really have to think things through, which supports all the commentary below. You have to think Astrotators, think! Mercury rules the mind and this energy is sharp as a tack. This is the aspect of the critical thinker, which can think out Algebra very well. This is a fabulous placement for learning, study and taking tests. Mercury is a very methodical planet, so Saturn makes this aspect even more methodical and disciplined to plan, strategize and calculate. Careful planning, foresight and mental concentration are heightened. Ohhh, I just Love that strategy is involved and you will see why below in the commentary.

This aspect can cause one to worry too much and also be more critical. This is because Mercury is the natural ruler of Gemini and Virgo and so Mercury is expressing some Virgo characteristics as being critical, methodical, nag, whiner and nit-picker of the zodiac. YIKES! This placement is more traditional in their thinking and will not accept ideas that are too broad, blown up or expanded.

Now let's get on to that commentary below.

TIMESTAMP 6:05 AM EST SAME DAY - SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 2021

Before I write today's Daily Horoscope, I will write some commentary first below. Before I even rolled out of bed this morning, I was looking at my phone and there was a message notification on my DrStandleyAstrology Fakebook page. A woman who will remain unnamed (because I believe her to be uninformed or misinformed) asked the following. If I believed her to be a hater, then I would not hesitate to use her name and counterpunch harder, but I honestly believe she is not punching me (maybe a little bit) but I believe she is more uninformed or misinformed and she's just asking a question. We don't have to hate those who don't agree with us or who do not understand. What she has done is create an opportunity for me to educate others more clearly. I'm all about being 'clear'.

I want to first begin with an apology because sometimes I roll out this commentary and forget that you are all Astrotators and you are coming here to learn and apply Astrology. I get rolling on a topic and forget to connect it to Astrology.

Second, to answer this woman's question, my first mission is to deliver the Astrology. I was in-tune to politics at a very early age. I'll tell you why in the next paragraph. When I was rolling out the 2008 and 2012 election of 'obama-biden' I was catching heat there too. Astrotators did not like that I did not like or support that ticket. I was absolutely NOT a supporter, but I had to write that they would win because that was the Astrology. My opinionated-opinion came in the form of saying that I was "not drinking the Kool-Aid" (to be specific), which rattled a lot of cages, but I really didn't care. I still don't. That's my OPINION, which I can have an opinion because this is MY website. It's cool when you create a forum for yourself to speak on your own terms. So whether I like the political ticket or not, it's still my Life, my website and I can have an opinion. Still, no matter if I agree or disagree, I will write the Astrology. That I guarantee. I'm brave enough to do that.

Third, no matter who I talk to, it's a Good idea for me to consider their Moon before I even dive into a conversation. Before I talk to you in a phone reading, you better believe, I will look at your Moon first so I will know how soft I need to be or how much I can get in your face. You are coming to me for solutions, knowledge or action, not for me to just rattle off your chart. You want answers right? So I have to look at your Moon (emotions) and then your Mercury (communciation) and talk to you on your territory and using words that rhyme with your spirit so you can get the information and wrap your brain around it. I have to discuss you on your terms. Not mine.

This is also why Daily Horoscopes on any astrology site 'should be' written according to the Moon because the Moon changes every 2 to 2-1/2 days and the Moon ALWAYS AND FOREVER relates to our emotions, feelings, moods and sensitivities. The Moon ALWAYS AND FOREVER relates to our biological and psychological foundation. The Moon ALWAYS relates to our childhood. "Back when I was a kid we did/didnt . . . " I see an individual as being 'on their moon' when the Moon hits the Natal Moon with squares or oppositions. I interpret or see you 'on your moon' as a time when it seems like you are on your menses aka period, whether you are a man or a woman.

So that is how I relate to your personally. But how does an astrologer reach the masses? How do we write to an entire population of people who have different Moons, in different signs, in different degrees, in different houses, at different coordinates across the globe in different time zones? How do we do that? Then there is figuring out the style of writing in order to reach and teach the masses. How do astrologers figure out how to reach the masses? Well, I don't know how other astrologers do that but I do it with politics. And I sure as hell won't do it with a celebrity.

So Fourth, the reason why I use politics to write Astrology is because it is something we can all see that is on the news every single day, which we can relate to, and impacts us all directly. It is the subject matter that impacts everyone and that will cause our Moon's and Mercury's to get rubbed. Now remember, you all have different Moon's and different Mercury's in different time zones, signs, houses, etc., which means your emotions and style of communication will be touched, ignited, fanned, stimulated, poked, etc.

I can't right to each of you personally when I am talking to the masses, so I have to choose a subject matter where I can talk to you. I choose politics! Most Astrologers really won't touch politics because hey, you could be wrong and haters would Love to see that. Am I right? I caution haters not to gloat too soon.

Holy freakin' moly, what kind of astrologer would even dare to step into that subject matter? Well, ME because I have a chart for it. ME, because for years I had a political radio show. ME, because I have Mars in Leo and I will not be intimated or shushed because someone's feelings were hurt or because they disagree with the Astrology. I'm kinda lucky this time around. Last time with obama-biden, I did not agree at all and had to keep writing about that sick-ticket. Now this time around, I agree with it. If you want to learn, you will stay. If you get angry and run away, I guarantee, you will be back. Sound cocky? I think so too, but that's what I think.

I could write using celebrities, which a lot of Astrologers will do. It's pretty safe to write using celebrity birth dates because their entire Life is out there. The Astrologer does not have to explain anything, not really, just writing about celebrity. BIG WHOOP! But politics, oh that's juicy and daring.

Astrologers do not have to write about outcomes using celebrities because these celebrity misfits dine on your attention, applause, awe and praise. Makes me sick! I will rarely write about a celebrity, even though I have accumulated a beautiful swell of celebrity clients. My chart does not get starstruck. I see celebrities as people who pull down their pants just like you do to go to the bathroom. They burp, they pass gas, they run out of money (a lot) and they are incredibly insecure as they try to remain relevant to you and on your mind. It's just the Truth.

If there is one thing I have learned about braggadocious celebrities, they have money issues. Their desire and longing for attention is an illusion. They usually owe more money than they have. The more braggadocious, the more it is True. And they are usually scrambling to keep the money train rolling in order live the Lifestyle, to remain relevant and on your mind. Why would they come to me knowing I'm not impressed? Because I am loyal and would never spill the beans on them. I have Mars in Leo and they pick up on that energy. I am a loyal to the core . . not to mention it would be bad karma on me for spilling secrets. I don't do that.

If you notice all over the internet it is easy to get the charts of celebrities and well-known people. This is because their lives are lived out loud with all the drama and issues we all have but just magnified. I dunno, I just find writing about celebrities to be the easiest thing on the planet. I'm a Gemini and their drama bores the hell out of me. While you might be holding up your phone getting a selfie with a celebrity, I'm over there holding up the wall not entertained by any of it.

I remember back on September 11, 2001 I was at the PGA here in St. Louis. The tournament was being cancelled and rightly because of the air attacks. Before they decided to cancel the tournament we were all standing outside and the professional golfers were walking from the clubhouse to the practice tees. One of the professional golfers who I will not name, so I don't give him a bad name, no need to do that he was just being unaware . . anyway, he was going down the crowd line giving autographs but not even looking up at the fans. He was looking down and just going down the line looking for the next pen and paper handed to him. When he came to me standing beside someone who just got his autograph he outstretched his hands for my pen and paper and I said, "Oh no thank you. I don't give autographs." That's when he looked up at me and I just smiled. I bet he never forgets that. LOL

Have you already forgotten about 'Secret Agent Man'? He came into the 'orb of influence' on December 29, 2020 - he was exact on Monday - January 4, 2021 and he will be in the 'orb of influence' until Monday - January 11, 2021. So I get all pissed off and rowdy just like the next person thinking, "F'ING ARREST SOMEONE!" What would be worse, they arrest someone and then they have to let them go, or they arrest someone who they caught in the act?

When you think about the protest on Wednesday - January 6, 2021 that President Trump called to the Capital, even through the frustration, it makes sense to believe that he would know that they would set him up. He gave the other side so much time to set him up. I was so angry and I was letting MY PERSONAL THOUGHTS AND OPINION come into the mix of the Astrology. LOL. So I had to back-up a bit. Remember, I do my best to keep my eyes shielded from too much information. I want to figure this out using Astrology just like you without my mind being corrupted and swayed.

Then I started thinking about 'Secret Agent Man' again. If the other side were going to have their misfits there turning a peaceful protest into riot and breaking into the Capital, then would that not be the ultimate move to send in your own 'Secret Agent Men' to grab some laptops? President Trump did say it would be wild. Then he came on the airwaves all peaceful and said very solemnly, "Go home." It sounded defeatist. But was it?

There are only 11 days (including today) before Inauguration Day. So why is Nancy Pelosi calling for a near immediate 2nd Impeachment? IF THEY BELIEVE themselves that joe biden will be sworn in on January 20, 2021 then why go for the 2nd Impeachment? Because a) They don't think biden will be sworn in because they have been caught red-handed and they need to get President Trump outta there . . . or b) they fear him running again in four (4) more years. No matter how you slice it, they fear him like the plague, like the masses fearing the coronavirus.

Now you have to remember, I have a military, tough, cold, hard Capricorn Moon. So I think military-like. My emotions can be just as cold when it comes to military action. Usually when someone has a Capricorn Moon, their mother was tough, cold and probably in the military. My Mama Bear was tough, she was beLoved, but man she was tough. We buried her on Wednesday - January 6, 2021 during the Capricorn Sun and she was in the U.S. Army. The Honor Guard was at her funeral and presented my Poppy Seed with the flag. I'm so dang Capricorn Moon you would not believe it. So it stands to reason that my emotions would roll out to be military-like and believing special ops-special forces went in to get Nancy Pelosi's computer and other computers, that would make perfect sense to me. What a great way for 'Secret agent Man' to get evidence! Damn that is brilliant! Is it not? Nancy Pelosi has to be out of her freakin' mind! NOW CAN WE ARREST SOMEONE???

Now let's talk about the social media blackout and probable main stream media (MSM) black out. YOU MUST REMEMBER that the South Node is in Sagittarius and the North Node is in Gemini until January 18, 2022. President Trump is a Gemini. That means the Nodes are in his favor. Further, he has natally the North Node in Gemini and the South Node in Sagittarius. This is why he suffers from 'hoof in the mouth syndrome'. This is why, before he was permanently banned from Twitter yesterday, he always said in interviews that his reason for tweeting so much is "Because I like to get the word out first!" He's a Gemini, and we Gemini's (me included) we like to get the word out first and we do not like to have our 'Freedom of Speech' squashed. Why do you think that I am using my own self-created forum here instead of another platform? I cannot and will not be silenced. It's full court Gemini press!

Here's what I think, I think that move of tweeting and getting thrown off was a brilliant move . . not by Twitter . . but by President Trump himself. Come on, don't you think he knew he would get thrown off. How else would you expose these social media giants and main street media giants if you did not push the f'ing envelope? He is showing all of us that BIG TECH does not have your back . . HE DOES! He is exposing them being such a bad boy. How can anyone not see that he is hitting a sacrifice fly.

I just don't feel like I should remind you of this every single time I talk about social media or the main street media. BUT, because of the Facebook Astrotator who I quoted above, it appears that I do need to remind the masses of this fact so that it does not look like my political opinion all the time. I guess it is not safe to assume that everyone is remembering all of these aspects. I get it now. I thank her so much for making me hyper-aware of this because she thinks this is all just my personal opinion. I'm all jazzed and jacked-up because this time, I get to agree with it. Yay for me!

I guess this is a Good time to tell you that we are not finished with Mars square Pluto. That aspect lasts from July 25, 2020 until January 12, 2021. From where I sit, it is only January 9, 2021. We still have three (3) more days until that aspect turns into a pumpkin. It is my gentle suggestion that you stay on top of the Astro Memes for the previous months because many aspects are still present carrying out their intended mission.

Oh my gosh, please do not be so naive to think that just because an aspect happened days ago, that it is not still present today. WAKE UP! Stay on top of the Astro Memes. I can see that I need to remind the Facebook Astrotator that inspired this entire write-up, but do I really need to remind everyone that there are forces at work that you can no longer see or maybe you just chose to tune-out instead of tune-in. Neptune is in his 'home' placement of Pisces. Everyone's intuition should be dialed up on high. Whether you dial-in is up to you. Astrology always makes room for your 'free will'.

I'll tell you something you may not know about me, I am a HUGE James Bond fan. HUGE! I watch 'Secret Agent 007' movies over and over and over again. I think like special ops - special forces because I have my MOON IN CAPRICORN (my Mama Bear) and I have my SATURN IN CAPRICORN (my poppy seed). Both my parents were in the U.S. Army. I LOVE war movies from - The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) and Kelly's Heroes (1970) to any military movie from the oldest to the newest. I am also a Lifetime member of the NRA. Lifetime members don't even pay dues anymore. You can hate me for who I am, but I am my chart, and that's the way it will be. And see, I know that I am writing to Astrotators who think completely opposite of me because that is your chart. Okay. That's okay. How we live out and channel our chart is 'free will' and we get that birthright.

Now back to the North Node in Gemini and South Node in Sagittarius. The North Node is where 'the cup runneth over' and the South Node is 'the bottomless pit' or the 'hole in your chart'. No matter how much energy you put in your pocket (the drain, the hole, the pit) the energy will drop straight through. But if you focus on your North Node where your cup runneth over, then all is Good, lovely and right in your world.

You have the North Node and South Node in a Sun Sign in your natal chart. The Nodes stay in a sign for 1-1/2 years and then they change. So right now they are in Gemini and Sagittarius which are President Trump's natal nodes. He is in his strength, not weakness.

Since Gemini rules communication, then it stands to reason that they also rule writing, typing, texting, shorthand, blogging, etc. Gemini's must communicate in some form, even if it is only social networking. Gemini's move about quickly ruling both communication and transportation, which is also why Gemini rules sales people, especially traveling sales people. Gemini has places to go and people to see, so the last thing they want to do is waste their time looking for their keys. THEY GO RIGHT THERE, WHERE IT SAYS, "KEYS!"

Having said all of this, now we are entering a time where we are experiencing social media block outs and black outs. We knew this was coming, right? Well, we heard it was coming. I mentioned it several times but it could have been played off as quackery or hogwash or crazy or whatever you call something when you don't want to agree. Check out Josh Hawley's post off Twitter below. This is Sen. Josh Hawley's statement.

After having rolled your eyeballs over what Gemini and Sagittarius rule, then you can now see that Gemini and Sagittarius rule the media and publishing. Have you heard? Josh Hawley (R-MO) had a new book coming out from the publisher Simon and Schuster and they are pulling his book. Can you believe that? Next thing ya' know there will be bonfire book burnings. This is just incredible and pretty believable if you ask me. That's just my personal opinion since I am aloud to have one on my own website. How could this possibly be okay with anyone? What will likely occur, which I believe would be amazing, is if writers STOP USING BIG PUBLISHING HOUSES to get their books out there. I am a self-published author, which my paperback is now in eBook form. But become your own self-publisher and also publisher other authors books. Build an audience of your own with traffic to your website and then publish your book and sell it. You can get your book on Amazon just like anyone else. You don't need these big publishing hours.

Not only will publishing houses fail (South Node Sagittarius) several of these hard core cable news networks will fold. You cannot keep up the charade and real news from the people. No doubt, it is taking 'the people' a long-ass time to wake-up, but now that they see their social media be tampered with, it's GAME ON! Sadly, this is what it took for a lot of people to see. The newsfeeds are staying the same with no new posts by friends because they are being deleted, censored and spied on my social media giants.

I need to take a break . . . EAT . . and then write a bunch of charts. There is plenty of food for thought here and I'll be back later with more. Also do not forget that this Jupiter conjunct Saturn aspect is still very much in play. Out with the old king and in with the New King. Very telling.
