COSMIC WATCH:

“Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.” John Allen Paulos

The Moon’s entrance into nesting Cancer (4:37 am EDT) encourages us to get back to our familial roots. It also raises the volume up on our emotions, especially those centered around our protective instincts. We may need to rein in feelings of rebelliousness and defensiveness when the Moon squares freedom-loving Uranus in Aries (12:05 pm EDT) and opposes controlling Pluto in career Capricorn (5:09 pm EDT).

There is also a “tricky” aspect to the day with mental Mercury in Gemini’s  square to nebulous, confusing Neptune which can serve to fog up our perceptions. We are cautioned not to believe all that we hear today and are well-served to thoroughly comb through all the facts. Neptune’s ray can be very deceptive and misleading. It is also linked with scandals and cover-ups.

On the plus side, it can be excellent time for any creative work that utilizes our powers of imagination, which Neptune governs. Neptune is also stationing retrograde today favorable for turning our focus inward (Neptune rules spirituality). Neptune stays retrograde until early November.

“As we grow old, the beauty steals inward.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Enjoy your Friday!

“Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.” Anne Morrow Lindbergh

“Mercury turns retro in Capricorn today at five degrees.”

“Please, would you kindly repeat that for me? You say that the mercury is reading what? Five degrees?  It feels more like about 70 in here to me.  Unless, I’m having a hot flash. Your mercury in your thermometer must be wrong, lady.”

“No, I’m not talking about the temperature. I’m talking about the p-l-a-n-e-t Mercury. Mercury goes retrograde in Capricorn today, at five degrees. Near malefic Pluto and hotheaded Mars, which means…”

“I’m sorry. But, I still don’t quite understand you. You also appear to be moving your upper right lip kinda’ funny when you speak. Are the planets making you do that? Or have you been, perhaps, hanging out with President Obama? Please, if you could. Repeat whatever you are saying, just one more time. The point you are making about the hot temperature on Mars is what? And how does it affect our hair?”

“Not Mars! Mercury.  I was talking about M-E-R-C-U-R-Y! And, nothing about the temperature, or our hair! Mercury the planet, up in the sky, is going retrograde! :)

Yes, a sweet, nauseating preview of possible coming attractions the next 20 days as communicator Mercury, which also rules travel, goes retro, or seemingly backwards in motion, until Dec. 30th.

Mercury retrograde is a period of routine maintenance for our minds, diabolically visited upon us by a wicked cosmos.

It is set aside as a period for us to “review” and “reflect” upon our earlier thoughts and decisions, with a probable eye to “revising” whatever it is that we originally hatched or incubated inside our moist little reptilian brains.

Mercury retrograde characteristically correlates with misunderstandings, or general mental confusion. So it’s always a good idea to clarify and double-check things, especially travel plans. Also, we may want to double-check the thermostat. Just in case.
