COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon’s ingress into innovative, change-oriented Aquarius (5:43 am EDT) makes a case for trying out new approaches or strategies as we navigate our day. In fact, we are privy to a double-dose of cutting-edge Aquarian energy, at least the first half of the day, as we also have the Moon favorably sextiling Uranus, the planetary ruler of Aquarius (11:54 am EDT). Uranus governs science and technology and its ray is often implicated in breakthrough discoveries. This planet and the sign of Aquarius are also linked with group activities and humanitarian causes. Too, we still have the Sun and Venus in service-oriented Virgo. Virgo is also very research-minded and analytical, which should serve as a supportive backdrop for the inquisitive Moon in Aquarius energy both today and tomorrow.

Of course, to keep us on our toes, the Universe is also mischievously waving a big red flag at us today via mental Mercury’s third and final opposition to fantasy Neptune.  While this influence can be a windfall for endeavors that rely on imagination, such as art, music, and photography, we do need to be more astute regarding the people that we trust and or let into our inner circle. Also, maybe more skeptical about all that we hear now, especially if things seem a little fishy or too good to be true. Neptune, on the shadow side, is linked with deception and or delusion, including the self-generated kind.

“We are inclined to believe those whom we do not know because they have never deceived us.” Samuel Johnson

News Update With an Astrological Spin : With the Aquarian Moon exactly sextile hi-tech Uranus mid-day, it was announced that Google has agreed to buy Zagat for an undisclosed price, the longtime guide to restaurants around the country (NYT.com). Too, we do still have enterprising Mars in food-related Cancer, which rules the restaurant industry.

Daily Intention: I am looking at my world from a fresh perspective today and eagerly mapping out new avenues to explore.

Enjoy your Thursday!
