COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon in irrepressible Aries encourages us to be more assertive and active. A Mercury-Saturn semi-square, however, may mean that we may have some challenges getting others to agree with our brilliant ideas, as Mercury-Saturn tends to carry more of a disapproving theme to it. This same influence can also serve to awaken our own inner critic.

Too, retrograde Mercury, in blunt Sagittarius, is conjunct the Sun and square to feisty Mars, in correcting Virgo, so we will want to make sure that incendiary words do not needlessly inflame matters.  No doubt, a fabulous day to make frequent use of our system’s nifty, “pause button” feature – as a way to avoid impulsively engaging the venomous foot into the mouth. 🙂

“Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt.” Lao Tzu

Today’s Affirmation: I choose to use words that heal today instead of words that wound.

In the News: Sagittarius is the sign that governs politics. On Saturday, with the Sadge Sun separating from a square to action-oriented Mars, in critical Virgo, and decision-maker Mercury in Sagittarius, also applying to a square to Mars, Republican Presidential hopeful, Herman Cain, formally suspended his political campaign for 2012, citing the continued distraction of allegations of sexual misconduct and infidelity, allegations which he has repeatedly denied. Sun-Mars and Mercury-Mars aspects often correlate with our feeling pressured to take pivotal action on matters. Too, Cain’s poll ratings had been nosediving in recent weeks. The Moon was additionally in dissolving Pisces on Saturday, a time when things are often phased out.

Enjoy your Sunday!
