Cosmic Quote of the Day: “Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won’t come in.” Alan Alda

Each of us excels in storytelling, particularly the stories that we tell ourselves about ourselves, and what’s possible for our lives. Often, too, we readily accept these personal accounts as the gospel truth when, in reality, they may be closer to fiction.

Today’s Energy:

Moon conjunct Pluto, 5:55 am: Even though it’s early morning, we awake with a desire to get to the bottom of things.

Mercury sextile Uranus, 2:50 pm: Here is B-R-E-A-K-T-H-R-O-U-G-H relief fast on its way to us to confront some of those storylines in our head. This is perfect energy for precipitating mental shifts as our curiosity is more fully engaged. We naturally are more oriented toward questioning our assumptions, at this time, including questioning the unquestioned answers!

Also a great influence for meeting and conversing with new people who harbor very different views from our own, which can also serve to subtly rock our world. This aspect additionally favors dealing with any technology-related matter. This alignment will linger around for the next day or so.

Moon square Uranus, 3:58 pm: Departing from our routine, for a while, helps to recharge our batteries and makes us better appreciate what we have going on.

Moon quinqunx Mercury, 4:07 pm: Our heart and head may be at a temporary impasse. Best to think before we speak, and formulate our words clearly. Also, avoid prejudging things.

Moon sextile Chiron, 6:04 pm: There’s more finesse and sensitivity in knowing how to assuage pain or handle emotional issues.

Moon quinqunx Venus, 8:06 pm: Letting go our expectations of how others should behave, or how a situation should be, makes the present moment richer and more enjoyable.

“We are sun and moon, dear friend; we are sea and land. It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is: each the other’s opposite and complement.” Herman Hesse, Narcissus and Goldman
