“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” Aristotle

Mercury the messenger in methodical, practical Capricorn the Goat is getting ready to wind up its stay in Capricorn, where it has been since January 5th. But, before it does that, very early tomorrow, it’s going to square Uranus in Aries today (6:13 am). Mercury and Uranus both have an affinity for one another as Uranus is considered to be the higher octave of Mercury. Uranus, as a transpersonal planet, however, is more focused on our abstract or objective perceptions, while Mercury, as one of the personal planets, tends to be more concerned with such things as speaking, communication, and general awareness itself. Uranus also governs technology.

On those days of the year when Mercury and Uranus align, our thinking is potentially more brilliant, more insightful, more original. We may be able to grasp more complex concepts that might have eluded us before. Our perceptions may be lightning-fast, peppered with sudden intuitions. The shadow side of the Mercury-Uranus square is sometimes we may feel more scattered or restless in our thinking and judgment, which can cause us to miss important details. Our nervous systems, which are ruled by Mercury, could potentially also become more highly charged now due to the more electrifying, jolting vibration of Uranus.

Today is also a test drive, of sorts, for Mercury as it will be entering Uranus-ruled Aquarius tomorrow (12:50 am), which is the sign of Mercury’s exaltation. Mercury’s favorite place to hang out!

The Moon is also in fastidious Virgo now so don’t be surprised if you feel a strong, passionate urge to tidy things up! The Moon will also trine Saturn in Capricorn tonight (8:56 pm), a very stabilizing influence that is excellent for organizing our affairs.

*All times EST.

Famous People with Mercury Square Uranus: Tim Cook, Carrie Underwood, David Letterman, Drew Carey.

Famous January 23 Birthdays: John Hancock, Edouart Manet, Chesley Sullenberger.

“All of us have to find the courage to leave the shore. That means leaving the crutch of our lifelong complaints and resentments, or our unhappiness over our upbringing or our bodies or whatever. It means no longer focusing negative energy on things beyond our control. It means looking beyond the safety of the familiar.” Chesley Sullenberger

This Date in History: On January 23, 1973, US President Richard Nixon announced an accord had been reached to end the Vietnam War. Regarding the astrology that day, expansive, philosophical Jupiter, which symbolizes higher understanding and a bigger picture point of view, was in realistic, pragmatic Capricorn, the sign of government. It was also exactly square Uranus, the planet of sudden breakthroughs and new approaches, at 23 degrees of diplomatic Libra. Negotiator Mercury had also just entered innovative Aquarius, that day.

UPDATED 1/23/19 4:30 pm: With Communicator Mercury exactly square spontaneous Uranus in Aries today, Nancy Pelosi has reportedly gone ahead and canceled the address! A first in US history! In Mercury rules speeches, while Uranus signifies the unexpected and breaks with tradition. Mercury also represents the news media, which are all abuzz now with this unfolding story! 🙂

Hope you enjoy your day! Bask in your brilliance!

Astrology March 22, 2012: New Moon in Aries

COSMIC WATCH:

What “new beginning” is calling to you in your heart? It could be that today’s New Moon, at 2 degrees of pioneering Aries (10:37 am EDT), is a perfect chance to begin making serious inroads towards that new direction. Aries energy prompts us to take courageous action. It challenges us to venture outside of our comfort zones to open up new doors of possibility. It can also endow us with a greater desire for personal freedom.

With this New Moon in spontaneous Aries today, many of us may feel a little like a caged bird that is about to be set free. Too, we will want to take a look at the house (or area of life) in our personal horoscopes where this New Moon is taking place, as that is where this eager, little bird Is getting ready to take flight and, hopefully soon, soar to new heights.

This lunation, which is really a marriage of both the Sun and the Moon, is also conjunct “radical” Uranus and “thinker” Mercury. An alignment that may very well increase our capacity for originality and brilliance. Uranus governs both genius and intuition. We are also now more comfortable rejecting or challenging the status quo.

Of course, with decision-maker Mercury still retrograde, and initiating Mars, the ruler of Aries, also retrograde, in stickler Virgo, we may still feel some pressure to edit ourselves and play by the rules. Also, we will probably need to be open to changing or modifying our course of action, at a later date. Retrograde periods are synonymous with revisions.

Too, we continue to feel the affect of that rare, transforming grand earth trine involving Mars, Jupiter and Pluto. “We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.” Anthony Robbins (Robbins also has his natal Moon in Aries.)

New Moon in Aries activities/aptitudes: Joining a gym; involvement in sports, athletics, or martial arts; self-promotion; cold-calling; hiking; camping; matters involving the military; setting new records; making new discoveries; showing bravery, demonstrating valor; taking risks; being adventurous.

Famous People with Moon in Aries: Whitney Houston, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sarah Ferguson, Jennifer Lopez

Happy New Moon blessings! Where does the New Moon fall in your chart? Since I have a 2 degree Aries Ascendant, I guess I am the poster child for this lunation. Sort of like my fifteen minutes of fame, I guess. 🙂

“Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.” Shaquille O’Neal

COSMIC WEATHER:

The anchoring, enduring Taurus Moon forms a challenging square to nebulous Neptune (1:51 pm EST), perhaps making our vision a tad foggy or murky. It could be that we “know not what we do,” during this time period. That our physical forms are merely along for the ride, as our tender minds wander aimlessly along. 🙂

However, this pea soup veil is soon lifted with the Moon’s sextile to genius Uranus which can bestow upon our moist little brains a bright idea or two (2:28 pm EST), and potentially show us a clear way out of our perceived difficulties. The sextile to Uranus also sets up nearly a three-hour void of course Moon phase that ends with the Moon’s entrance into restless, mentally curious Gemini (5:22 pm EST). During the Moon’s “v-o-c period,” it is best to attend to routine matters instead of initiating new projects. The Gemini Moon perennially favors reading, writing, conversation and social networking.
