COSMIC WEATHER:

The Moon in intense Scorpio today inspires us to seek out more passionate experiences that fully engage our emotions or senses. A flowing trine to “spiritual” Neptune (3:58 pm) also potentially enhances our empathy and psychic sensitivity. Too, an agreeable sextile to “collaborative” Venus (7:08 pm) works to stimulate our social, romantic, or artistic side. This might be a wonderful afternoon or evening for an outing to an art gallery, or to the theater. Or, to be involved in healing projects. The Moon is also in its Last Quarter phase, late tonight (at 10:28 pm). This could generate more of an impetus within us to sort out what’s working and what’s not, in preparation for the upcoming New Moon, next week

Intellectual Mercury is also forming a square to “restless” Uranus, tonight (10:41 pm). This dynamic and inventive energy can open our eyes to alternate ways of looking at issues. It can also trigger sudden inspirations or “light-bulb” moments in which we finally “get something” even if the matter has been explained to us several times before. On the shadow side, Mercury square Uranus can sometimes be a bit disruptive for us mentally. For instance, we are perhaps more apt to blurt out stuff now without really thinking about the consequences of our speech. Still, often embedded in the seeming disruption of a Mercury-Uranus transit is a hidden opportunity for us to get unstuck, as we temporarily feel less wedded to convention, or the “status quo.”
