COSMIC WATCH:

Mercury, ruler of thought, communication,  and travel, stations direct at 18 degrees of authoritative Leo today (6:05 pm EDT) giving us the cosmic go ahead to gradually resume forward motion with our bright ideas. Especially those ideas related to the sector of our personal horoscope that houses the sign of Leo.

Mercury is also getting ready to make an off-kilter, 135-degree hookup with maverick Uranus (1:24 am EDT Saturday), so our mental plates are still a little full now, even with the direct motion.  Uranus delights in throwing us curve balls that often demand rapid, clever responses on our part. Uranus helps to foster our originality and brilliance, although it can also make us a little cranky or rebellious in the process.

We are actually privy to a double-dose of unsettled Uranian energy today as the Sun in methodical Virgo is applying to an awkward quinqunx to that planet (3:25 am EDT Saturday). Too, we still have the weird Saturn-Neptune sesquiquadrate aspect which encourages us to develop our levitation skills while it temporarily pulls the rug out from under us. 🙂 At least it can sometimes feel that way with this disintegrating configuration, that we are in a more precarious or uncertain position with fewer safeguards at our disposal. Of course, if we keep our eyes steadfast on our long-term goals, that strategy can help to sustain us through any rough patches now. We may also want to try to aim for more mental detachment, if we are feeling overwhelmed.

The waning Moon also enters self-expressive Leo today (12:09 pm EDT) helping us to personally shine. With the Moon in a fire sign, it is an excellent time for doing weeding. Also for getting our hair cut. Too, the waning Moon is perfect for any purging or recycling projects.

Enjoy your Friday!

“Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” Theodore Roosevelt.

Cosmic Watch:

Moon enters practical Capricorn (6:00 am).  We want to feel useful and know that our actions are making a difference.  When we are doing what we love, we naturally feel purposeful. Today, is a potentially a good day to channel a passion of ours into a meaningful achievement or activity.

Thought-keeper Mercury is also harmoniously aligned (trine) to secretive Pluto.   We are able to penetrate and tap into life’s deepest mysteries and solve a mystery or two in the process. What alluded us before, is now made crystal clear.

“It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.” Albert Einstein.

We are well-advised to stick with things today. To focus our energies for maximum impact. Make it a day of discovery (Pluto) and purpose (Capricorn).

*All times EDT

In the News:

The tragedy of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico continues to unfold.

Checking back to the Exxon Valdez oil spill on March 24, 1989, we find that Saturn and Neptune were both conjunct in Capricorn then. Neptune rules the sea and oil; Saturn represents trials and tribulations. It also perhaps speaks to us about the importance of owning up to our duties/responsibilities.

Today, interestingly enough, we have Saturn and Neptune together again. This time Saturn is in perfecting, refining Virgo exactly quincunx to Neptune in experimental Aquarius.Saturn also rep resents the principle of conservation or the wise use of our resources.

Maybe this quincunx influence will help to usher in wiser stewardship practices (Virgo) and teach us to, perhaps, figure out how to better utilize our technological know-how (Aquarius) so as to live more judiciously with Mother Earth in the future?
