The BIG NEWS today is Mars sextiles Pluto, which I find very interesting because the last time this aspect was exact was on November 21, 2023 and the Moon was in Pisces on that day as well. Note on the Moon in Pisces Astro Meme it says, "Monk mode and moving meditations. Mental Health, Reflection, Life Review."

Mars sextile Pluto is a wonderful combination as both planets that represent power and level of aggression. Not to mention, Pluto is the higher-octave of Mars, so it essentially takes the energy of Mars, lights a match to it and explodes it into a higher realm of action. This energy is courageous, powerful and will powerful. This aspect is the BIG UMPF when a power-lifter pushes the heavy weight and explodes into its full extension.

This is the energy you want in order to instigate change. Do you need some change? Sometimes you do have to be the 'instigator' of change so the wheels get rollin'.

This aspect involves a personal planet (Mars) and a generational planet (Pluto). This sextile intends for the energy to be used to serve oneself (personal Mars), but also the needs of society (generational Pluto), of which the protestors are leaving us the perfect example of what not to do with this aspect. What a useless way to protest.

If you are going to throw your power around, at least be effective. Mars sextile Pluto is deliberate about change, even if it has jump in and get everyone all wet. Protesting can easily be done without blocking traffic and classes, and infringing on others rights thereby pissing them off, then demanding food and water, while trashing the place with plastic water bottles and tents, all the while claiming support of climate change. Protesting can be accomplished in a better way, just ask Anheuser-Busch how effective protesting worked on them. Keep reading, more juicy stuff . . .

This sextile stimulates action and gets to the bottom of the most complex issues while standing in the fire hearing the views of others. Hey, you might not agree with the views of others, but standing in the fire together, meaning hashing it out without the ol' cut and run ending, is important. Stand in the fire and hash it out.

Have you ever had a friend who simply ghosted you when they got mad. They simply disappeared because their feathers got ruffled. That's what I'm talking about. They did not stand in the fire and hash it out. Some friendship that was, huh? The loyalty or commitment to the friendship, process or discussion does not exist, which makes it impossible to communicate. They were not committed. How can an entire relationship be lost so quickly, but alas, that's how many respond.

NEWSFLASH!!! If you can't stand in the fire with a person and hash it out (discussion), then don't be so quick to expect entire countries to do it. If you cut and run, then you are a poor example of what you profess to believe about peace.

Mars sextile Pluto wants to stand in the fire as Mars and Pluto are both fiery planets. Work it! TAKE A STAND and stand in it no matter how hot it gets.

Since Mars and Pluto rule the muscular system, this is a perfect placement for getting back into your workouts or increase the weight. It is also perfect for working on projects that require muscle power.

My Scorpion King is building another level of my garden into the retaining wall. The blocks are 57 lbs. a piece. It's a massive undertaking where he had to rent a backhoe at the start of the project, all under the umbrella of this Mars sextile Pluto aspect. He works fast and he's real strong. Last night we began filling the raised garden with soil. Lots of shoveling, stomping, shoveling, stomping before the rain set-in last night.

Folks, recommit to your own personal power, both mentally and physically. And for Goodness sake, watch how you throw you chi' (energy). DO NOT waste your energy and become ineffective thereby showing the lack of commitment to your friendships, beliefs, projects, processes or discussions. STAND IN THE DAMN FIRE and be effective. Hash it out.

Argue, debate, discuss, teach, educate, etc. What is so wrong about hashing it out? People today, trash it out, instead of hash it out. Have you seen the college campuses? If you cannot stand in the fire and hash it out, then how in the heck do you expect ENTIRE COUNTRIES TO DO IT? Huh? Riddle me that, Einstein's of the world!

People cannot stand in the damn fire together anymore and solve anything. So you disagree. Do you not appreciate 'Freedom of Speech'? On FB, the one's who cannot stand in the fire will cut and run, then unfriend. Well that's real adult. BIG stuff requires strength on a different level. Cutting and running means retreating when the discussion gets too hot, which is essentially giving up on what you profess to believe or support. If you believe something or support something, then do just that! Believe it and support it. And if you can stand in the fire, then listen, ask questions and learn. So if you unfriended me, I welcome you back with open arms, but chances are, I don't know it anyway. LOLOL.

The Moon is also in Pisces today, which is monk mode. Treat everything as a moving meditation today, including traffic, eating, laundry, working out or washing the dishes, like the book 'Miracle of Mindfulness' by Thich Nhat Hanh. Instead of just washing the dishes, wash . . the . . dishes. You will find if you meditate while eating, you will enjoy the flavor, texture and nourishment that food gives you. If you are going to obsess over food, then really obsess over it by meditating while eating. It will change your Life and you will never look at food the same way again.

Oh, and by the way, I do not coddle or cater to anyone just because they have been coming to my website 'for years'. I'm just not like that. I will not be tamed or shamed.

On another note - this coming June, July and August 2024, I will 'not' be writing ANY Natal Charts or Solar Returns. It is also quite possible that I may stop sometime in May 2024, I just don't know that date yet. I'm lining up my Life so that I can take this break in order to complete a different project, which will take all of three (3) months to accomplish.
