I welcome sharing my writing, links, quotes and Astro Memes,
but copying and passing off my work as ones own, is plagarism!
Big difference!

The BIG NEWS today is A LOT! Scroll your eyesballs over the Astro Memes below before you begin reading. Let that soak in for a brief bit. Put a picture together in your mind's eye with these aspects. Not only do we experience two (2) major aspects with Mercury in Leo quincunx Saturn in Pisces and Mars in Taurus conjunct Uranus in Taurus, but today is also the start of the Jupiter in Gemini square Saturn in Pisces (Scared Straight) in applying degrees, which means we feel or sense the energy approaching and become hyperaware that something is about to go down.

Folks, you are really going to have to trust your intuition and instincts, which includes both your sentient and extrasensory self, as well as your primal and protective self. Jupiter square Saturn is NOT the time for risky business, monkey business and sticking your nose where it is none of your business.

As a tiny review for the newbies arriving on this page, in the Astro Memes below I include the applying (approaching) degrees and the separating (pulling apart) degrees. Applying is when the aspect is close enough that we feel (intuit) the energy getting closer. Separating degrees is when we feel relieved or refreshed that the energy is leaving. Keep reading . . .

Mon. August 19, 2024 Applying degrees begin July 15, 2024 at 5:46 PM EDT Separating degrees end on Feb. 23, 2025

Tue. December 24, 2024 Applying degrees begin July 15, 2024 at 4:59 PM EST Separating degrees end on Feb. 23, 2025

Think of a problem relative who is coming for a visit. Applying degrees is when we feel them on their way. The closer it gets to the date and time of arrival (exactness), the more intense we feel the energy approaching. Separating degrees works the same way but in reverse. We feel 'relieved or refreshed' that the relative is leaving. In other words, we are either glad they showed up or we are glad they going home.

Jupiter square Saturn is the 'problem' relative who is bound to cause trouble unless you prepare and set some heavy duty ain't puttin' up with BS ground rules. Folks, Jupiter square Saturn WILL NOT put up with juvenile behavior on any level from adults. Not even a little bit!

Side note - I am only using the example of the problem relative because everyone can relate to that example. The problem can be 'anything' arriving on the scene.

Now let's throw into the pot Mercury Quincunx Saturn that says it is time to grow up and act like an adult. Saturn rules time and does not like to see time abused or misused. Saturn is looking for longevity, so anything less than that is a waste of time and then Saturn gets pissed. Saturn doesn't even like it when you waste money on petty, insignificant and plastic things. A chaotic, late, messy and disorganized Life will only piss off Saturn. GUARANTEED! I mean with a BIG OL' RED STAMP guarantee.

I'm telling 'some of you' straight up, in your face, pointing into your chest, looking you straight in the eye, if you do not straighten up, you will get your ass slapped so hard it will make you rise up on your tippy toes, grab your ass and pee on yourself as you wince and dance across the floor trying to get away.

The rest of you who are living Life as a mature adult, who are not making excuses for yourself or anyone else for that matter, it's going to be painful to watch so many who just need to learn the hard way. We are not only entering the 'Twilight Zone', we are entering 'Told'ja So Zone'. Keep reading . . .

On top of that, we are also experiencing Mars conjunct Uranus, the aspect of the anarchist (not antichrist), which is those with mob mentality who cannot or will not take responsibility for themselves. How do we get 'mob' out of this? Think Astrotators Think! Uranus naturally rules Aquarius, which rules groups, gatherings, the masses, circles of friends, associations, aquaintances and followers. Mars rules rebels, aggression, the warrior, a fight, an argument, competition, excitement and action where something is blowing-up. Anarchists by nature are too juvenile to live as law abiding citizens. Mars in all its rebelliousness turns Uranus and its group of friends into the mob.

Yesterday I wrote to you about my own 'scared straight' back on Sunday - July 25, 2015 when I decided to never drink alcohol again. On Friday, July 23, 2015 a friend received a DUI. On Saturday, July 24, 2015 I was out with a friend at a winery. I left after 2-1/2 hours, went home and went to bed, and my friend who was there long before I was and left after me, totaled her car driving the wrong way on the highway. The next morning after looking at my texts and seeing what happened, I decided to NEVER drink alcohol again. I did not need a third incident to be myself or anyone else to realize that alcohol NEVER makes anyone make better decisions.

And here's the thing, on Saturday, July 24, 2015 not only were we in the 'orb of influence' in applying degrees of Jupiter square Saturn hitting exact on August 4, 2015 but Mars was squaring Uranus EXACT on that date, which is the aspect of one craving for excitement and freedom with a twist of crazy. That aspect carries enormous energy that has to be self-controlled. It's great if you channel it into leadership, but not into partying and then driving.

I have been hit by a drunk driver and had my car totaled (in the 80's) ending up in the back seat even though I had my seatbelt on, so after that night knowing the first friend got a DUI on that Friday night, the other friend totals her car and someone else's the next night, I didn't need a third incident to tell me that the next level is someone dying or killing someone else as a result of alcohol. I received my awareness LOUD AND CLEAR and have never drank alcohol again.

So folks, here we are again, pretty much a repeat of 2015, only MORE! A LOT MORE! This aspect is accompanied by a fair warning of Mercury quincunx Saturn that says, "GROW UP AND STOP WASTING TIME!" Saturn does not like being disrespected if you waste his time. Get ready for an ass whoopin'.

Mars conjunct Uranus (the anarchist) is the higher octave of Mars square Uranus (chasing excitement). We are in the same energy folks. THE SAME, but more, with an extra dose of Saturn that says check yourself before you check others. Folks, you better get your sh!t together and tighten your circle. I mean sew it up tight, pull the ends in, and pull even tighter. Keep your circle TIGHT. Keep your friends and family tight and together.

You have no doubt become even more clear on who your friends are because a nice little dose of Pluto in Aquarius has been teaching us all about that since Pluto entered Aquarius for a few short months in 2023 and for a handful of months here in 2024.

Having close friends takes time, energy and attention. Relationships have to be nurtured and watered in order to grow into full-blown trusting relationships that have no hesitation or question marks. These type of relationships develop over time, over disagreements, and over shared hard experiences.

Folks, we are entering some severe troubling times. Think back to 2015 and what scared you straight. The 'orb of influence' would have been from June 28, 2015 until September 17, 2015. Then due to a retrograde, Jupiter square Saturn hit exact again on March 23, 2016 and May 26, 2016 also carrying 'orbs of influence' before and after those exact dates, which would have been from February 2, 2016 until July 11, 2016. Look back at these dates. How were you scared straight?

When we go into troubling times, that is not the time to do wildly crazy and jacked-up things. This is NOT the time to load up your plate with too much. In fact, Lighten your load. Take things off your calendar and organize your Life so that you can manage better in troubling times. Think back to the 2015 and 2016 dates.

Exact dates of Jupiter square Saturn were August 3, 2015 - March 23, 2016 - and May 26, 2016 with the full 'orb of influence' in applying and separating degrees between June 28, 2015 until September 17, 2015, and February 2, 2016 until July 11, 2016. How were you scared straight? Don't make me say, "I told'ja so", because I will, I'm like that. It's not my most attractive character trait, but at least I own it.

Today begins the Republican National Convention (RNC) at the start of Jupiter square Saturn. On August 19, 2024 will be the start of the Democratic National Convention (DNC). Hmmmm, would you rather have this date for your convention of choice or August 19th as your date for your convention of choice? Yep, it's a no-brainer and I'll tell ya' why. I will be writing a RED FONT ADDENDUM and adding it later today. I will post on FB and X when it is posted.
