Today the BIG NEWS is Mercury squares Saturn. Note above that this aspect came into the 'orb of influence' on October 22, 2020, it is exact today, and it will separate far enough that it no longer impacts us after November 14, 2020. Let's remember that the birth dates in between October 21 and November 10 will have the 'mean girl' and 'grumpy old men' aspect in their 2020-2021 Solar Return that I wrote about yesterday. Not to mention the aspect of the 'narrow-minded' will also be present hitting those birth dates from October 22 until November 14, 2020. So the majority of these birth dates are going to have a really rough time getting along with and playing with others.

It will be a really tough 2020 Solar Return for birth dates from October 21 - November 14 unless you can drop the ego and embrace thinking out of the box, but Holy Mama Mia it is going to be tough for these birth dates and relationships of all sorts will be lost. Those who have to live with or dance with these individuals in conversations on a daily basis, you need to figure out how to keep your sanity because you will be pointed out as WRONG no matter what. Every damn time! Sorry astrotators, but I do NOT coddle with my horoscopes, or pull any punches, or sugarcoat, or wipe your tears. I go for the jugular because I figure you come to read my horoscopes because you want the guts and the meat of the meaning. The chart doesn't lie, only the mouth does. So tell yourself whatever you need to in order to justify, "No, not I" . . . but I'm telling you, these birth dates are going to be tough.

I will readily admit, and I will admit it quickly, that I have a pretty damn fixed nature and a big ass ego. I do! I have Mars in Leo and Jupiter in Aquarius, but thank God narrow-mindedness does not fit Jupiter in Aquarius. Oh contraire! But then again, it can in a weird way if it thinks that it is ALWAYS right and cannot possibly be wrong. That's pretty narrow-minded and ego-licious-ness if you ask me. Jupiter in Aquarius thinks it knows EVERYTHING and Jupiter is preparing to move back into Aquarius on December 19, 2020. It will be my Jupiter Return, just as my Saturn in Return (in Capricorn) leaves on December 17, 2020. LOL! Crazy huh? I remember a man called into my political radio show (years ago) and said, "Dr. Standley you think you know everything!" I responded, "No I don't, but I do think I know a little bit about everything!" LOL! And do I even need to remind you that I have the Sun trine Jupiter (like President Trump)? I like me, what can I say! Lack of confidence does not come with Sun trine Jupiter. Hardly! We just count on landing on our feet. President Trump also has Mars in Leo (like me, or should I say me like him) and he has Pluto in Leo AND he is Leo Rising and has energy literally out-of-this-world. People wonder where I get my energy and I have always said, "Mars in Leo!" . . but he has Mars in Leo and Pluto in Leo and Leo Rising. He is not going to run dry of energy. And he is really NOT afraid of anything or anyone. He's literally a big orange tabby cat with all of that Leo. Why do you think he's so orange? Because he likes to lay in the Sun (his tanning bed). Why make fun of it? Just enjoy the blatant astrology of him, even if you don't like him. It's cool astrology.

Anyway, back to Mercury square Saturn and having a big ego . . . pay attention if you do too . . . the best way for me to handle all of my ego-licious-ness is to admit as quickly as I can when I'm wrong or someone else is right. And just say it. I know admitting when I am wrong, does not mean I was wrong all the time. I get that. So I swallow my pride and say it, and I do it quickly like ripping off a band-aid. Errrrr, sometimes I do have to say to my Scorpion King, "You're right, you're right" because the Gemini within me will say it twice, just like that. To put it to rest quickly, I find it easier on my ego to just fess up.

Also, I find a person who can admit when they are wrong the STRONGER person, and my ego wants to be STRONGER (mentally). I dig on 'mental strength'. So there is always a method to my madness. It's always best to know yourself better than others and then teach them about you, then you have less arguments. And ya' see, if I admit when I am wrong faster, then it is 'I' who sets the bar high and then others will have to match that. Sneaky, for sure! Know thyself Astrotators. Know thyself! If you are so dang wonderful, then set the bar high and do not be afraid to admit when you are wrong. Maybe you just don't like the word 'wrong'. Suck it up! When you're wrong, you're wrong. Oh I just Love that strength within me to say that. Ego! LOL!

So back to Mercury square Saturn, it is is the classic placement for the narrow-minded individual. While it is easy to point the finger at someone else's narrow-minded, it's a better idea to look in the mirror and see where you are being narrow-minded and lack the openness to think differently. Narrow-mindedness is usually born out of the refusal to admit when someone else is right. The fear is that if you admit you are wrong and 'they' are right, then 'they' might think, "Well, what else are they wrong about?" So this my dear little Astrotators is an ego-trip. GET OVER IT! Free yourself. If your mind can only s-t-r-e-t-c-h so far, then what does that say about you. A refusal to bend can cause severe arthritis and/or tension in the joints.

This narrow-mindedness shows up in a healthy way for those who are law abiding citizens, BECAUSE ITS THE LAW, or those who hold the law-breakers to accountability. But at the same time, this other side of the coin does not give much wiggle room and demands strict adherence to the law with no room for negotiation. This can look like no probation or community service, go directly to jail. Those who drove drunk or broke the law . . . uh oh . . . this doesn't look Good.

Just remember, when you hold others to such strictness, you too will be held to the same level of strictness and discipline. There is a tendency to become stuck on certain ideas and find it difficult to change your mind. There is difficulty communicating your thoughts to others because Mercury rules the reasoning mind and a square results in difficulty or a challenge. Lighten up Astrotators! Live a little and open up your brain. Mercury rules the mind and Saturn is the limitor and restrictor. The brain is getting squeezed here by Saturn's belt and it is not budging, so Saturn will squeeze tighter with his belt.

Remember, worry fixes nothing. It's a HUGE waste of energy because worry has a big nothing attached to it. It does NO GOOD! Love does, but worry only breeds chaotic and dramatic wails. There is excessive worry with this aspect because you may not be able to allow your mind think new and different things. Have fun with that! (insert sarcasm) But seriously, worry is a big ol' nothin'-burger.

Maybe things have always been done 'that' way, but maybe that's why some things in your Life aren't working so well. Think about that!

This aspect also reveals a mental bully, which means there is mental abuse in the air that is just like military boot-camp where the soldier is broken-down only to be built back up. The sergeant (Saturn) gets in your face and drills new things into your mind (Mercury). Maybe a partner or Loved one or you are doing this. OUCH! This aspect seeks to limit the mind and imbed into the mind a different way of thinking. It's a rough aspect when it is abused and it is mental abuse. How about everyone just talk sweeter to those you Love and stop being so quick to make someone else wrong. How about that?
