“Truly successful decision-making relies on a balance between deliberate and instinctive thinking.” Malcolm Gladwell

COSMIC WATCH:

Mercury, the thinker, stations direct today in “relationship” Libra (3:17 pm EDT). When a planet “stations,” it appears “motionless” in the sky – behaving kind of like a stalled car, alongside the roadway. It is also thought that only when Mercury finally moves beyond its “shadow phase” on November 9 – or the original degree in which it turned retrograde – will “clarity” finally return to our thought processes and decision-making, as only then will Mercury have completed the “full retro trek” of the landscape.

Lovable Venus, the ruler of Libra, is also, again, a major player today, in the cosmic scheme of things, seemingly enjoying official “rock star” status with her exact conjunction with the sultry Scorpio Sun (3:31 am EDT). Hopefully, this alignment aids us in our “power of attraction.”

Assertive Mars is also at the urgent “anaretic” degree of Sagittarius, shifting into “ambitious” Capricorn, tomorrow. Mars at the end of Sadge, which represents our beliefs and convictions, can poise us to take some kind of “last minute action” in order to show others exactly what it is that we hold in high regard, or what is, perhaps, most meaningful to us. It could be, too, that we feel extra pressure to take a stand on things. One thing that we do want to avoid, though, is fanaticism, or a “holier-than-thou” stance, which could backfire – especially with Mercury stationing direct, some of our ideas could be misconstrued.

Question for Today: What is your overriding belief about the world?
