The BIG NEWS today is Mercury squares Pluto accompanied by three (3) lunar aspects, one of which will be nearly long gone as we begin to arise in the U.S. Then the Moon moves out of Scorpio and into Sagittarius, taking us through the day with a trine to Jupiter. SWEET! A bit over-indulgent in all ways, but its a trine and that's sublime! We will need a decent and patient attitude with this square to Mercury.

Mercury square Pluto is a tough aspect because it talks tough. Mercury rules communication and travel, and Pluto involves power. This could easily look like road rage. It has nothing nice to say and just needs to zip it! You might feel like saying to someone, "Oh my gosh, shut the hell up!" At the same time, someone might be saying that to you.

Mercury rules the mind, mental energy and the power of mental persuasion and Pluto levels one thing to cause something else to rise up out of the ashes, just like the phoenix-rising arises from the ashes. Pluto destructs in order to reconstruct and there is where the transformation takes place. Keep reading . . .

Thu. Oct. 27, 2022 Applying degrees begins Oct. 22, 2022 Exact on Oct. 27, 2022 at 9:09 AM EDT Separating degrees ends on Nov. 1, 2022

GET YOUR SOLAR RETURN! When the Sun 'Returns' to the same sign, degree and minute as when you were born

So this is where you have the ability to transform your mind, thoughts and concerns into something completely different. This aspect is asking you to be fully conscious of your thoughts and transform them into something else. In other words, don't say it, say something else that is better.

If we take a positive spin to Mercury square Pluto, then we can transform our mind into accepting a 'different' play on words. Otherwise we end up believing we are constantly 'under the attack' when that is not the case at all. Pluto has power attached to it, so words can destroy, but at the same time, our level of sensitivity can destroy ourselves.

You have probably heard, "If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all." It really is better that you adopt this motto when this aspect is present because it can literally tear someone's world apart in one brutal sentence. Once the word or phrase is spoken, then jury has heard it and it will be hard to take it back. There are no take-backs with this aspect. You might also find yourself 'explaining' what you meant.

Pluto can cause words to be sharp, biting and stinging because Pluto rules the sign of Scorpio, which can strike out without warning or provocation. That's just its nature. Mercury square Pluto tells it like it is, regardless of what you think. If you don't want to know, don't ask!

THIS IS IMPORTANT COMING UPON MID-TERMS! Mercury square Pluto is deliberate, cunning, sharp and unapologetic. Those who are operating at a less than optimal level of character may be using this aspect to persuade others to think a certain way or it might be used to gain control over others.

Mind manipulation, mind provocation, mind bullying and mind control. Do not do this to others and do not allow it to be done to you. Remember, this aspect began in applying degrees on October 22, 2022, it is exact today, and it will last until November 1, 2022 in separating degrees.

Back in the Spring and Summer I wrote to you that most individuals would have several months in their 2022 Solar Return where they had nothing going on. It would be several months of just blank nothingness and it would be as though you are barely moving forward because nothing is going on. Nothing seems to be occurring and or poppin'. It's like Groundhog Day where each day looks like the day before.

Folks, all you have to do is look at your Solar Return and you may see several months of blankness or empty houses where nothing is occurring. THAT is when you get creative, busy, immersed and active with something else that can move time around for something else down the road. When nothing is occurring, that is when you make things happen. When you have some time then prepare yourself for 'down the road'.

Yesterday I on @DrStandleyAstrology Fakebook page I made a post that said the following below.

"Who has their eyes peeled? Who is 'really' paying attention? Who is sharper than a damn tack? Who caught all of the hot NEW! 2023 info I have already added to the website? If you are going to be prepped, well then you better think about have a little sharper eyes .... check out all of this!"

And then I added some pics to that post of what I was referring to.

Right now, for myself, my current Solar Return reminds me of a Solar Return I had YEARS AGO. I could see down the road that I was going to go through a Quadrant (3 month period) super-busy time and it had a lot of Mercury involved. I could see that there would be communication, travel within my own country, clerical office paperwork type of stuff and I was wondering how to get ahead of it so I would not be rushed or crushed by work. Back then I was writing reports and mailing them. There was no attaching huge pdf files like we do today and emailing them. But we did have CDs back then.

Needless to say, to get ahead of the energy, instead of shuffling papers around, I started putting the charts and reports on a CD and mailing them. I could see down the road I would need to do something and that's what I did to prepare.

When the Quadrant (3 month period) came that had me SO BUSY, I was still SUPER DOOPER BUSY, my Mama Bear was traveling with me to speaking engagements and I was growing the website. It was a crazy time. She and I were always on-the-road or flying somewhere. I was no-less busy, but what I was . . . was prepared. I was more organized, orchestrated and choreographed at my own doing, so I was able to handle the oncoming busy time with grace and smoothness. I was not frazzled. I was ready.

If you find yourself in that lull of energy that most charts have this year, which is three (3) to five (5) months of blankness, then get busy.

Think of it this way, the Universe is giving you some 'time off' to get ahead, prepare, get composed, arranged and organized. If you have not been to the 'Survival Prepping' section of this website this is what I did with my extra time. I created that section of the website. It is very basic, with not a lot of text, but the text that I did write is IMPORTANT so read it. There are a lot of pictures. All you have to do is follow-up by doing your own research and getting yourself and your family at-the-ready.

What I am referring to with regard to the post on Fakebook yesterday is with my extra time I began moving into 2023 with the Astro Memes. If you look at in the left-side navigation column, under the white font header 'Monthly Astro Memes' you will see that January 2023 and February 2023 Astro Meme pages are posted. I will have March 2023 added to the list as well sometime today. I'm halfway complete with it.

At the bottom of those pages and at the bottom of the home page you will see that the 2023 Astro Memes for Retrogrades, Lunar Eclipses, Solar Eclipses, Moon trine Sun Calendar . . all of those extras are already posted. You are set AHEAD OF TIME.

Folks, that is what prepping is. It's not waiting until the last minute when you foresee a juggle ahead. You take your down time or your slow time and you create. God is 'The Creator' with a capital 'C' and we are 'creative' with a lower case 'c'. This is how we co-Create with God.

If you have down time or slow time, that is when you should be your busiest because you are being given time (for something). It makes NO SENSE whatsoever that your down time or slow time is for 'not' or 'nothing'. I have NEVER believed in my whole 61 years of Life that slow meant anything other than a time to create.

YOU ARE BEING GIVEN 'TIME'. Don't you see. I know so many of you are going through a slow time, so you must create something. Nothing else makes sense. But to do nothing, that is 'slothfulness' and 'lazy' and I'm absolutely certain that God does not like or support 'slothfulness' and 'lazy'.

In fact, go ahead and research the Bible what it says about being lazy. On the home page of this website, near the middle, there is section that tells you to 'Research a Matter Out'.

There is hardly a Solar Return this year that does not have a slow time or down time and you MUST SEE this as time being given to you. You have more time. There are going to be SO MANY people who are not prepared or they are ill-prepared for what is to come.

Do you get me? Do you read me? It does not matter if you are food prepping, survival skill prepping, work prepping, house organized prepping, awaiting the birth of a child (nesting, which is prepping) or if you are going on vacaction . . . you always prep to do something or to go somewhere. ALWAYS! You should never be sitting around doing nothing. Get ready!

I have a very busy time coming up, which I can see in my Solar Return, which means I need to get myself ready for then, RIGHT NOW, in order to get ahead of it. Use your Solar Return's. You will be busy when it shows you are busy, and you will be slow where it shows you are slow, but what you do with that time, during those times, is what matters.
