Big difference!

Well folks, it's an emotional day. This day will certainly test your patience and your ability or inability to let things slide. Granted some of you will be better at this than others, but again, just like yesterday, it's best to study the quadrants of the chart wheel to give you some understanding into what makes you and others tick. I'll get to more of that after I address the lunar (Moon) line-up today.

The day begins with the Moon sextile Neptune, which occurred so early in the AM hours (EDT time) that you probably felt this more last night. You may have had sweet dreams or a sound sleep due to this aspect. The Moon was still in Capricorn at that time, which is bothered by things that matter, not things that don't matter. No kidding. That's a lot of peace that the Capricorn Moon brings.

The Moon then moves out of cold, emotionally tough-as-nails, sober and serious Capricorn, into cold as ice, aloof and emotionally distant Aquarius at 4:42 AM EDT.

Lordy Lordy folks - DO NOT expect to be coddled, nurtured and held to mama's bosom during this Moon. These are special circumstances for 'you' if that is the case in your world.

Instead the Aquarian lunar energy says, "Shake it off, shake it off." Better yet, this Moon looks over the shoulder uninterrupted while fixing something with a motor and says, "You're okay, you're okay. The band-aids are in the medicine cabinet." In other words, "Get it yourself! Learn to take care of yourself."

There is none of this 'adulting' business, as if being an adult is something that should be rewarded for things you should KNOW in the first place. After all, the Aquarian motto is, "I know therefore I am". In other words, don't expect fanfare and celebration because you took care of yourself and did your chores.

Once the Moon moves into Aquarius you should be feeling, sensing or 'knowing' the Aquarian energy has arrived. This Moon is NOT petty and does not get hung up on trivial, insignificant or trifling matters. And it certainly does not trash talk friends. In fact, this Moon rules the 11th house of acquaintances, friends, groups of people, organizations, memberships and places where people gather. Aquarius IS THE friendliest sign of the zodiac and the party never starts until Aquarius shows up. This is a fun moon! At least it should be.

Let's say you get hung up on stupid sh!t and trivial matters, you will see this Aquarian energy change the subject or get the hell out of there because it's trivial. Aquarian energy wants to KNOW something new, not same old BS, different day.

The Moon conjuncts Pluto at 4:48 AM EDT and brings about emotionally extreme highs and lows. RATS! Folks, here is a HUGE piece of advice. If you are feeling emotionally high or low, then get creative. Ya' gotta get creative or your foul mood and inability to be playful 'in the moment' will literally ruin relationships. It's best to tame 'the wild' within and go for a run, walk, swim or cook something to bring out a more nurturing side. Ya' gotta chill 'the wild' within before the 'the wild' seeks to draw blood.

The Moon will then oppose Venus at 7:39 AM EDT causing friction between female, estrogen and yin energies. This is just a bummer of emotional energy because one female is seeking to be Loved, while the other female simply cannot and will not drop everything to feed the other female so much needed and nurturing attention. One female might need to hear how beautiful she looks, how cute her outfit is, and needs to be applauded on how well she did something, while the other female is not giving up their attention span to lay it all on someone else. There will be a lot of 'fishing for compliments'. Watch this on social media. After all, Aquarius rules social media.

The Moon will then square Jupiter at 12:35 PM EDT, which creates, causes or instigates self-indulgence. Oh Geez! This is emotional-eating or over-engaging in something that pacifies the emotions. This could also be drinking to excess or shopping too much. This aspect can also cause a person to be lazy and simply not care as it is very apathetic. Watch decision-making at this time because snap 'judgments' end up regrettable.

The day ends with the Moon opposing Mars at 10:11 PM EDT, which is opposite of the energy we experienced earlier in the day with the Moon opposing Venus.

The Moon opposing Mars causes friction between female, estrogen and yin energies, and male, testosterone and yang energies. Mars is aggressive, assertive and usually ends in conflict. What a dang bummer! Keep in mind this aspect has an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours before and after its exactness at 10:11 PM EDT. That means around 8:11 AM EDT this morning up until around 12:11 PM EDT tomorrow, this aspect will have influence . . as does all the lunar aspects holding a 12 to 14 hour 'orb of influence'. So you see the overlapping of emotional aspects today. With this Moon opposing Mars, there is a struggle to express oneself, so the energy ends in conflict, meaning arguments, emotional disputes and anger.

As with the Moon conjunct Pluto, channel this energy into a creative outlet, as Pluto is the higher-octave of Mars. Engage in an activity that you enjoy so you can throw your chi appropriately, rather than inappropriately.

Back to quadrants and lunar energies. Folks, it is important to hammer-down these energies because times are going to get tough and if you cannot handle a little bit of - ruffling, angst, confusion, chaos, poking, prodding, change, adjustment, joking, aggression, assertion or anything along those lines, then you will not only have a hard time going through the hard times, there is a pretty Good chance your happiness is completely 'dependent' on others, thereby feeding your hard times and making them even harder simply because you 'require' so much.

How do you like that word . . . 'dependent'? You can appear to be, or pretend to be, independent all you want, but if your ability to be happy 'depends' on others, there are BIGGER issues here.

So back to the Moons - we are in the month of Gemini, which rules the 3rd house, which is in the 1st Quadrant of the chart wheel - the 1st, 2nd and 3rd houses of the self. But, maybe you are not a Gemini and your Gemini shows up in another quadrant. Maybe you are a Gemini and your Sun in Gemini shows up in another quadrant.

Maybe your 1st Quadrant is ruled by signs that are naturally in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th Quadrant. Folks this explains a lot about what your soul's motivation is in this Lifetime. Your soul's motivation is your Rising Sign (1st house), self-worth (2nd house) and your ability or inability to get along (communicate) with others (3rd house).

Fast forward to today's run of lunar aspects (see above) considering the Quadrants.

Now back to yesterday's Daily Horoscope, if you have a Moon that is of 1st Quadrant origin, you might take a closer look at that. Then look at the house where your Moon lands in the chart itself. Maybe you have a Moon in Aries that lands in the 5th house, which is the 2nd Quadrant - 4th, 5th and 6th houses.

Today's Aquarian Moon ramps up the tough-as-nails emotional energy because this Moon WILL NOT coddle you. Again, GROW-UP, says this energy. What is this 'adulting' silliness?

Aquarius is the humanitarian and altruistic one. We all have Aquarius in our chart somewhere, which brings out this energy in a certain area of our chart. It also tells how we act and react with our friends.

Not only do I have a Capricorn Moon, I have Jupiter in Aquarius. LOL! Jupiter is the higher-octave of the Moon and Jupiter e-x-p-a-n-d-s whatever it touches. It's pretty safe to say that the word 'coddle' is not part of my astrologic make-up. Ain't happenin'.

Those who scream just because they saw a spider will probably never make it to my inner circle. I will not do silly chaos, drama and emotional crazy. A tiny spider says a lot about what kind of attention a person needs. It's safe to say, it matters to me how well-controlled an individual is with their emotions because under changing conditions, which change the emotions, you will quickly find out where you stand.

Interestingly enough, my best friend is an Aquarius and my best guy friend (aside from my Scorpion King) was an Aquarius (may God rest his soul), both born on the same Aquarius birth date. And I have the same tight group of friends that I have had for the last 25 years. That's Jupiter in Aquarius for ya'. Friends are friends!

So folks, note your Moon and the quadrant that it is in. Look at your Jupiter since it is the higher-octave of the Moon and note the quadrant that it is in. You don't have to research this further than your own face. Sit with your chart, study it, and think about your relationships and how you act and react in them. Are your relationships/friendships here today and gone tomorrow? Then what/who is the common denominator and fix that! Check your Moon folks.

I put myself out there every single day, which may not be something that you choose. And that's okay. Those of us who put ourselves in such a position have left ourselves open to being criticized, ostracized, ridiculed or mocked. And believe me, people will criticize, ostracize, ridicule and mock from their 'oh so brave and safe seats' and not directly to your face. You bet your ass those like myself better have some tough skin who are not bothered by petty BS.

That is another reason why I feel that I am doing the right thing with my work because God gave me the bravery (Mars in Leo), along with the emotional tough-as-nails skin to do what needs to be done to feed the children (meaning His children, all of you).

By the way, Capricorn (my moon) rules the skin, teeth and fingernails. You better believe my skin is 'tough as nails'. Not fingernails . . I'm talkin' NAILS!

I threw so much better as I have been practicing every day throwin' 40 shoes a day, but then yesterday I threw 100 shoes as practice to prepare for last night. My pitching was like night and day from last week to this week. I play in my first tournament this coming Friday. Hey, there's nothing like being thrown in head first with arms and legs flying, literally learning on the fly. I did it with yoga and I can do it with horseshoes. As with anything else in Life, including the Astrology . . practice!
