COSMIC WATCH:

Coming on the heels of yesterday’s empowering Sun trine Uranus, today we have intellectual Mercury trining Uranus, in pioneering Aries (10:44 pm), as both the Sun and Mercury are pretty much moving in tandem through futuristic Sadge, at the moment.

In general, Mercury-Uranus aspects potentially help to “speed up” our thought processes. They can also possibly activate our Uranus-ruled intuition spawning exhilarating “aha moments.”

Uranus, the planet of change and innovation, is regarded as the higher octave or higher expression of Mercury, which represents our thoughts, ideas, and communication. Uranus is also linked with genius or brilliance, originality, and what could be characterized as more non-traditional type perceptions.

Needless to say, today may be an excellent time to stretch our mental horizons. It’s also possibly a great period for brainstorming, or for “out of the box” problem-solving.

Too, Mercury-Uranus can potentially serve to align our thinking with ideas or gleanings about what is best for the collective, or society as a whole, as Uranus, the ruler of group-oriented Aquarius, poises us to naturally think of the broader impact of things, and not just about ourselves.

This is also the first full day of Mars in experimental Aquarius. Mars is also involved in a creative “quintile aspect” with Uranus, seemingly making, today, even more cutting edge, in many ways. Quite fittingly, the first test flight of NASA’s Orion spacecraft launched successfully, this morning, from Florida’s Cape Canaveral. While today’s “unmanned” flight reportedly carried a cookie from Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster, future launches are expected to carry people to asteroids, the Moon, and hopefully – even to Mars – if all goes as planned.

When man first landed on the Moon, expansive Jupiter was exactly conjunct Uranus at 0 degrees of Libra. Mars was also sextiling this conjunction from 2 degrees of travel-related Sagittarius. The signs Sagittarius and Aquarius are both related to space travel.

Question for Today: If you could swap places with any of the great figures in history, for a day, who would you select?
