First, she will knock on the door of Pluto opening up a deep vast pit to the underworld, staring at the edge of horrors and delights you have never imagined, she will walk you back and oppose Venus.
Perhaps there you will come to understand the sublime pleasures of the intellect unbound, the rolling thoughts of creative delight, free of the flames of temptation. But then Mars grabs your attention, Hot, Red, and ready for a rumble.
This day is off to a powerful roar. Your engines are firing, your ears are hot. It is of no surprise that Mars, the hot red planet, is in Leo, the hottest of signs and we are experiencing A hot war, and hot forest fires in the Northern Hemisphere.

Moon in Capricorn.
While the Moon is indeed today in Capricorn, sitting there like a child with his finger in the dyke trying to stop the flood, with an innocent yet determined look on his face, I think it is best that we speak of the flood over the cracking damn.
Venus is opposed Pluto and with it a whole host of emotions launching us into Venus in Leo season. Why not me? you may ask, and indeed you. You are beautiful, wonderful, witty, intelligent, and brilliant. The sexiest thing ever. You be You.
Why is Pluto there hanging out, a long vampiric shadow stalking your every move today? Have you noticed how we all want to be innocent sensual delightful and playful humans but are so traumatized that it's hard to trust anyone enough to be that?
Be the one who speaks kindly.
This is a foundational point of Madhyamika philosophy from 2nd century AD India. There is no end to the dividing of particles or time into smaller and smaller units. So there is no basis for their actual existence.
Phenomena is just random appearances interdependently connected through casual relationship assembled into meaning by mind.
Yet because mind itself is free of location and can not be found in any particular place or time, it itself is free of being something, having no origin or cessation, spontaneously arising.
A rant on astrologers and prediction. One of the travesties that limits astrologers, is the fear of being wrong. As astrologers our income is based on being right, so making a public prediction about a future event exposes us to a loss of income.
So when it comes to events like the presidential election, good astrologers who have some capacity for examining and refuting their own underlying political assumptions , might be hesitant to make a clear prediction.
Because if we get it wrong, which many did in the 2016 presidential campaign (for reasons which are now well understood) it will be rubbed in our faces for a few years.

The value is to prevent yourself from creating an experience of self deception. The spiritual has nothing to do with the material. many of us try to profit and live off of the spiritual. They can not be the same thing, two sides of a coin. 1 is 🔽 spirit descending into matter.
The other s spirit ascending out of matter 🔼. If you are profiting off of being spiritual, you are still just being material. You are regifting you’re ego, attachment to form, and worshipping on the alter of mammon. DuaLity is perpetuated, and you count coins. No bueno.
My previous reading was when the two planets hit the same minute, a persuasive argument was made that one should use when the hit the same second. Here is that chart and I will redo delineations based on this chart.
