More inconjunct energy. Sun is at potent degree of LEO and very powerful interacting difficultly with MARS in Capricorn. Ego’s and power mongers are fighting. This segue is President Trump’s ascendant. He could seriously be under fire.

AUGUST AUG 22/23 VENUS and her Higher octave NEPTUNE INCONJUNCT
