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

First, handle this Cancer Moon. Either you are embracing your intuition 'I feel therefore I am' or you are being over-emotional. It's one or the other. Handle it!!! The Moon will move out of Cancer into Leo at 3:29 PM EDT. I hope your intuition has been raised during this time and not your emotions over-and-over-again thereby needing the same lesson in handling emotions next month. Better luck next time.

The BIG NEWS today is the Sun squares Saturn. This aspect is accompanied by the sound of the individual who approaches every subject or question with a knot (not) in it. There seems to be a contraction (n't) or the word 'not' embedded in the verbiage.

The perfect 'fictional character' representing the Sun square Saturn is George Costanza from the TV series 'Seinfeld'. He was negative, down, depressed and anxious all the time. When he was excited and happy, he lit up a room, but when he was frustrated and down, he brought down the world.

No matter what is said or stated, this aspect often responds with a 'constant' need for reassurance that is accompanied by constant doubt. This would be like the person who always asked, "Is that bad?" or "Is that wrong?" The Sun square Saturn is insatiable as it is incapable of being satisfied. It's just too damn much lemon.

Even though the Sun square Saturn has excellent business qualities and is known for being steady, skeptical and persistent, it feels like a burden because it is carrying a heavy load of responsibility. It's heavy! No matter what occurs in Life, doing it, whatever it is, is hard. It just can't be easy for some reason. This aspect will make you learn the hard way and nothing comes easy if THAT is how you need to learn. Some people just need to learn how to say, "No". Simple as that, without hesitation, reservation or guilt. [Keep reading . . . ]

Sun. June 9, 2024 Mars moves into Taurus at 12:35 AM EDT until July 20, 2024

Sun. June 9, 2024 Applying degrees begin May 31, 2024 at 6:36 AM EDT Separating degrees end on June 17, 2024

A really easy fix would be to simply step away. Some things are for your figuring out, but some things are quite frankly, none of your business!!! This aspect gets wound up over everything. Instead of hearing the announcement, "Let the games begin!" this would be an announcement of, "Let the complaining begin!"

The Sun square Saturn is the classic 'sour disposition'. Picture yourself with a sour look on your face most of the time and that is exactly what this aspect looks like. It is as if your face is dramatically drawn in on itself with the eyebrows furrowed, downward and inward, with the mouth puckered, the cheeks drawn, the nose wrinkled, with a squishy face. This is the look 'all the time'. One frustration after another will take its toll until the face freezes like this. The disposition is pretty much bothered by everything.

Moms all around the globe used to say, "If you keep looking like that your face will freeze." But mom's nowadays are too busy doing what others should be doing (helicopter-parenting) that they are the ones left with frozen sour-faced expressions.

Watch it folks, especially if you have a birthdate between May 31, 2024 and June 17, 2024, which means this aspect would be in your Solar Return. When this aspect occurs as a transit for everyone else, it just looks like a really hard time as it will pass after the 'orb of influence'. But when it is solid in the Natal Chart or Solar Return it will feel like its bad day, almost every single day, until you learn how to channel the energy appropriately.

Like anything else, you have to handle it or find a way to lift it off your shoulders. Not everything is your business. Remember, Saturn is mature, self-disciplined, practical, responsible and adult. Doing what others should be doing with this energy would be enough to make anyone sour-faced.

This aspect is most definitely oppressive and will always feel like there is a lesson being learned. That's Saturn for ya'! This aspect is also naturally defensive, which can cause one to underestimate their potential and question their own self-worth. The road is paved with one setback after the other that must be learned and overcome before moving forward.

"Do it yourself!" may very well be the one thing you need to learn how to say to others, especially if they are doing less than you, for them.

Further, no one likes a sour disposition, not to mention there is nothing attractive about it. It's just too much lemon. The Sun square Saturn simply cannot find anything positive to express and the resting face is pretty much frozen, wrinkled up and snotty-faced. Those of you with birth dates between May 31, 2024 and June 17, 2024 will need to check your resting face constantly until your next birthday in 2024 to make certain you do not have snot and boogers leaking from your nostrils. Sound gross? And this aspect is not even when the Sun is in Taurus (the bull), the Sun is in Gemini, but one can certainly end up looking like a snotty-faced bull.

The Sun square Saturn is squirting lemon juice on everything, no matter what is being stated, argued, presented, relayed, told, suggested, advised or shared. Suddenly a squirt of lemon sprays out of the mouth and lands on everything. Gosh, if there was ever a time for an 'invisible mask', this is it.

Another classic character of the Sun square Saturn is 'Eeyore' from Winnie-the-Pooh who is characterized as a pessimistic, gloomy, depressed and anhedonic. 'Anhedonia' is a severe psychological condition that describes a near-complete absence of enjoyment, motivation, and interest, with the inability to experience pleasure. The Sun square Saturn can show up this way.

Now before you turn to gloomy about this aspect, it might encourage you to know that it all depends on how you use these aspects.

For instance, there are going to be a whole mess of people in social media proclaiming their gloominess in one way or another thereby e-x-p-a-n-d-i-n-g this energy. You see that my dear astrotators is how you get people to agree with who you are. Right? That's how you feed feelings (like sourdough bread). You just keep feeding it what it needs to grow and that is an announcement about poor you. I mean if you are posting selfies about how great you look waiting for the compliments to roll-in, then wouldn't the Universe honor your gloomy proclaimations as well? Whether you do this in personal texts or public broadcasts (social media) the Universe will honor 'the order' you are placing if you need such hard lessons in Life.

Remember from the 4th paragraph above, this aspect has excellent business qualities and is known for being steady, skeptical and persistent, and feels like a burden because it is carrying a heavy load of responsibility.

There are plenty of well-known incredibly successful people who have this aspect in exact degrees and I mean at 00 degrees and a couple of minutes - Oprah Winfey at 00 degrees 03 minutes, Salvadore Dali at 00 degrees 26 minutes who had schizophrenia and was also diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and paranoia, and Jason Alexander (George Costanza) 00 degrees 38 minutes. So Jason Alexander not only has this aspect in real Life in his Natal Chart, he played the classic character for this energy as well. It's like he played himself.

While this aspect can certainly be gloomy, it will cause an individual to look at the dark side first, which can be a very healthy thing when channeled appropriately. This enables the individual to 'prep' for the dark side and ward off trouble simply because they prepared for it. Think about it.

Folks, these aspects are not, for naught! They are to serve a purpose. A lot of people are going to pop-on social media and cry "poor-me" over this aspect thereby cranking out more of the same energy, since they are getting the masses to agree with their feelings, instead of using this energy appropriately, which is PREP!!!!

Saturn has been squaring Sagittarius (the talker) and Gemini (the other talker) since it moved into Pisces back on March 7, 2023 and will last until February 13, 2026. So during this three (3) year transit of Saturn in Pisces, Saturn squares Gemini and Sagittarius, which are generally bouncing along with a happy-go-lucky spirit communicating with everyone.

Hang with me folks because this is IMPORTANT!! Why in the world would the Universe have this very energy land in the sign of Pisces during this time in our history? Because Saturn in Pisces brings 'order to chaos' that's why!!! Saturn is order and Pisces is the fish swimming in circles (chaos), when Pisces can take on Nemo qualities and head out to the big Ocean and lead an entire population of fish. Pisces leads a 'school of fish'.

Sagittarius and Gemini are THE TEACHERS of the zodiac. Sagittarius rules the 9th house of higher-education, colleges and universities, and Gemini rules the 3rd house of grades K-12, which is primary and secondary education.

Do you see now?? The Universe is using Pisces as leading the 'school of fish' using the teachers as bait. The teachers can't help but teach. It's what they do. So the teachers are out there spreading the word, the news, the education, and yelling PREP!!! Maybe you are not a Sagittarius or Gemini, but maybe you are a teacher because of where these signs land in your chart and you are yelling PREP!!!

Remember, this aspect enables the individual to 'prep' for the dark side and ward off trouble simply because they prepared for it.

I am Gemini (South Node Pisces) and I even created a place on this website focused on your survival, camping and prepping needs. I am a natural-born teacher and I cannot help myself but to teach you how to prep. The fish has an eyeball on each side of its head, which means it has a 360 degree field of vision. When I go deep into my South Node, I really go into waving warning flags as we go into the deep end of the Ocean.

While others may choose to only see this as being pessimistic or dark, I see it as 'Survival of the Fittest'. As a Gemini or Sagittarius one needs to make peace with this aspect as it moves over their sign. If you don't channel this energy into warning others, which is the very energy that is warning you, then it will eat you alive from the inside out and cause the sour disposition, or lest you be eaten by sharks (Washington D.C. for instance).

So, not only do we have to protect ourselves from others sour disposition, we have to protect ourselves from our own sour disposition.

This is the second pass of this aspect squaring Gemini as the first time was in 2023, now in 2024, and it will hit a third time in June 2025 before Saturn moves into Aries in February 2026. The same goes for Sagittarius. The teachers of the zodiac who are Gemini and Sagittarius, along with those with these signs strong in their Natal Charts or Solar Returns will be screaming PREP to the world or within their families. Talk about God using you for a cause.

Granted some people are still not on board. All I can say is, "Okay". As teachers we will also experience some who will not listen. There are non-listeners (obstinate and self-willed) in every class. Right? So be it.

This square is leading the school of fish, by using the teachers. And how interesting that this is occurring at this time in our history.

Jupiter conjunct Uranus began in applying degrees on February 16, 2024 and will last until June 16, 2024, which had a direct hit on April 20, 2024. Remember, I wrote to you that the birth dates in-between these dates would be the freedom-fighters.

It doesn't mean there won't be natural born freedom-fighters already doing their job, because we see them out there doing just that. It's just here comes another group, another wave of people who are prepared to stand up and fight for their country, family and land. This being the 2nd Decan of Gemini. You bet your ass this is the case!

So don't you think it's interesting that this Sun square Saturn aspect last year hit the first decan of Gemini and Sagittarius. There are 30 degrees in each Sun Sign. 30 degrees x 12 Sun Signs = 36 degrees.

For Gemini it is . . .

1st Decan May 21 to May 31 (Sun in Gemini 00 degrees to 09 degrees)

2nd Decan June 1 to June 10 (Sun in Gemini 10 degrees to 19 degrees)

3rd Decan June 11 to June 20 (Sun in Gemini 20 degrees to 29 degrees)

If I wrote your Natal Chart, then I included a Decan chart wheel (it's the rainbow colored chart wheel) and I included two (2) pages of text to explain it to you. That would be in your 'Chart Configurations and Graphics file'.

So you see, last year in 2023 the 1st Decan was hit by Saturn in Pisces in the earlier degrees. This year the 2nd Decan is hit by Saturn in Pisces in the mid-degree areas. And next year the 3rd Decan will be hit by Saturn in Pisces, as Saturn in Pisces grows in the later degrees. Maybe you need to look at the Saturn in Pisces Transiting Degree Calendar again to see exactly what degrees it is in because Saturn in Pisces will be turning Retrograde on June 29, 2024 going over the same set of degrees again, back to 12 degrees, which is nearly the beginning of the 2nd Decan.

It takes three (3) years to wake people up. You know, as teachers there is always some kids sleeping, mouthing off or playing the distractive role in class so the rest of the class doesn't learn. OUCHY!

Saturn in Pisces is irritable, restless and plays devil's advocate A LOT! I just want you to know, if you 'choose' to play devil's advocate then that means you are PLAYING ON THE DEVILS TEAM, and consciously. It means you are advocating for the devil. How's that make you feel? A person warning others about what is to come is about prepping and survival making you stronger, not scaring you to make you weak and vulnerable.

Even stating your position outloud (playing Devils Advocate) makes you play for that team, even if it is not your intention. I can see the other side (Devils side) fist pumping and saying, "YES!" Now you could argue, well that's just a phrase intended to balance the argument and bring more information to the conversation. If you choose that verbiage, then you better understand that the negative force (entity) heard you loud and clear and you left yourself open.

So you can be down, depressed and sour-faced, or you can pull your weight and require others to pull theirs too!

'I think' these bowling balls rolled into our path help us recognize dark energy when it is presented to us, or when it flies up our own rear-end and takes over our spirit. Talk about being infiltrated. Remember, fear is a spirit. That ought to spook you into remaining God-focused and voluntarily enLightened. Why make things hard on yourself?

So while it is Good to question, be skeptical and explore any doubts, hesitations or reservations, then also recognize when this energy takes over and turns depressed, gloomy and even worse, anhedonic. Eeyore and George Costanza!

You can turn this around, upside and on its head, as many individuals have used this energy to propel themselves forward. You can too! As many other individuals, myself included have turned this energy on its head and used it to teach others how to prep and learn some survival skills, you are going to need it. You will. So channel this energy as you wish because you have just been schooled by a Gemini.
