Big difference!

The BIG NEWS today is the Sun opposes Saturn. Two years ago, the Sun opposing Saturn began on August 3, 2022, last year it began on August 17th and this year the energy began on August 29, 2024. So those of you with birth dates on or before August 29th were spared this aspect and those with birth dates between August 29th and September 17th will have the Sun opposing Saturn in your 2024 Solar Return.

The Sun opposing Saturn tells us that something is happening or will happen that we don't want to see, so we cover our face or close our eyes. Well folks, it is better to open your eyes than close your eyes and be blinded causing yourself to be weak, helpless, dependent, vulnerable and needy. That would be no help to you because if you cannot help yourself, then you cannot help someone else. Not to mention, that would make yu dependent on someone else. So open your eyes.

In today's political and social culture, I have three (3) words for you . . . #PrepYoAss! Some of us are natural-born preppers because it is who we are, but those of you who are not, better darn well start believin' because something is seriously wrong in the world, not just in your local conspiracy theorist's head.

The Sun opposing Saturn will be giving a lot of people a really hard time. Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Especially those who carry this in their 2024 Solar Return because the energy will last until the next birthday. What will help you is learning, engaging and practicing your Life skills. If you choose to cover your eyes and know nothing, that means you will likely be trouble(d), heavy and dramatic around those who ARE helping and doing their best to do what needs to be done to feed the children. Stand aside and let those who can handle 'it', handle it.

You better get strong just in case you have to drag someone. Stand up or at least crawl, but do not be heavy if someone has to pull your ass. Push your feet into the dirt and help push yourself across the gravel or hot pavement if you have to be dragged. These are tough times folks and they will be tougher.

Prepare. Stand up and go, or if you cannot stand up and go, then just don't be heavy. And by heavy I mean, inactive, trouble, Lifeless, dead weight or dramatic. And for God's sake - CHECK YOUR EMOTIONS!

The Sun (identity) opposing Saturn shows the personality will have to be toned-down. If you feel the prodrome (early symptom) that is telling you not to do 'that' or say 'that', then that would be the cue to tone-it-down. That's the restriction of Saturn on the Sun (personality). That is this aspect.

This is also some SUPER-COOL intuition if you use it that way. IF you do not use your intuition, then COUNT ON the experience of throwing your hands over your face in embarrassment or not wanting to see what needs to be seen. You will need to 'temper' your personality. Tone it down.

This is a feeling of 'pulling back' to self-restrict. You might find yourself saying, "Damn it, every time I start to _____________ something happens!" Well, you have to get through it rather than turn back. Turning back means you did not confront what needed to be confronted, so the repeat of "every time I start to" is the likely story. Catch-22!

So approach that thing differently, or in a different timing, or different set of circumstances. Stop going 'that' way. That's like knowing there is a detour if you turn left, so you turn left and say, "Damn it, every time I turn left there's a detour!" Oh my gosh, then STOP TURNING LEFT!!! What is up with this self-imposed suffering? What do people dig on that stuff? These aspects are kinda comical in a spiritual sense, if you can go there, as we humans just keep going left. Doinky Doink Doink!

Think of it this way, maybe you are praying for something that you cannot yet handle. Maybe you just can't handle it yet. Did you ever think of that? Maybe some quick re-evaluation is necessary to get you to the place that you need to be.

I do not believe for a second that God rolls these bowling balls into our path just to mess with us. Our Good Father would not do that. That does not make sense. It's more like, "Let's see how you handle this! Here it comes. So you either handle it thereby proving you can handle the BIG PRAYER you have been asking to be answered in your favor or get the hell out of the way. But don't 'not' look. LOOK! So you can see how it is supposed to be handled. Hiding your face won't make it go away or make it any better.

Aren't we about 'better' when using our Astrology? Don't we want to do and be better? That's why we study and use Astrology appropriately, right? Get your hands off of your face!!!

The Sun opposing Saturn can cause a very tight restriction, if in fact it needs to show up that way. It can create a crisis or worse, an identity crisis.

You may be in a search for your identity, or your perfect career, which gives you that validation, affirmation and recognition outside of the family unit. Maybe your identity inside the home is restricted and so outside of the home you appear flamboyant and over-painted because of that need for attention, compliments, affirmation and recognition. Just make a clear note to yourself how 'identity' is showing up for you and how desperately you might need to be SEEN or acknowledged.

This aspect will make you constantly question if you are doing the right thing. The restriction may show up as a feeling 'as if' there is a dark cloud hanging over your head. If you start turning dark, pessimistic and skeptical then you KNOW that you are playing right into dark side of Saturn, instead of the Light side of Saturn. The Light side of Saturn would be self-imposed restriction, practicality and reasoning. Not, "Woe is me" and "I can't" type of responses.

OMGosh, the "I can't" is so self-defeating and people speak the words "I can't" outloud thereby feeding the invisible energy force of defeat. If you say that around me one too many times, I will stand back and let you, "I can't" so you can wear your spoken badge of honor all on your own.

At the same, DO NOT expect a lot of atta girl or atta boy types of pats on the back. This aspect is not going to coddle and pamper you. It just isn't. If you find yourself fishing for compliments, think before you act because this aspect could leave you feeling embarrassed.

There will likely be restrictions on employees, co-workers and those who work in our daily lives like clerks and customer service, since the Sun is the natural ruler of the 6th house of activities of daily living and the people in our daily Life. Saturn is the restrictor and limitor, which can put restrictions on the people without notice. Read that again. Saturn is the restrictor and limitor, which can put restrictions on the people without notice.

Those of you who still have daddy issues, the older you get, the more you realize you have to heal and move on, which means you could have BIG problems with authority figures, or the father, since Saturn is planet of the father and both planets have testosterone associated with them.

Mercury in Leo quincunx Neptune in Pisces is the aspect of the 'Day Dream Believer'. That's great. How wonderful. Day dream believin' is a great start to manifesting because first you must believe. I'm all for day-dream-believin', AND still rowing to shore. AND still getting up to feed the children. AND still going to work. AND still taking care of yourself. AND still doing your chores. AND still prepping. AND tuning-in to the world around you. AND protecting yourself.

Day dream believin' can easily become too much dreamin' and not enough believin', therefore nothing really gets accomplished. This aspect can keep an individual so caught-up in dreams that they are completely out-of-touch with what is really going on around them.

It reminds me of the meme going around that shows a freight train barreling down the tracks and this Lovely woman is standing on the tracks taking a selfie with the freight train in the background, having no clue that train will hit her within seconds. Time is up! Day dream believin' is cute, it's nice, but it's also out of touch with reality.

So if you are going to be a day-dream-believer, then take action on your dreams, otherwise all you are looking at is ambition and potential. Make something really occur in the invisible realm (Neptune) and the visible realm (Mercury).
