There is a preponderance of earth this month. Earth is the element that gives form to our thoughts and feelings. Jupiter (king of the gods) is in Taurus (sign of substance) and making aspects to both Uranus (lord of revolution) and Pluto (god of life and death). We are being asked to enjoy the positive changes we have already made, and to prepare for the big ones coming in our immediate future.
1st – Tuesday – Mercury Semi-square Neptune – We can suffer from trying to accomplish too much too quickly. Everything goes smoother when we listen to the gentle voice of our higher values.
2nd – Wednesday – Staying on our set routines can be comforting as circumstances in the world and our environment are seemingly erratic. If we can remain peaceful the results of our work will reflect our true intentions.
3rd – Thursday – Mercury Sesquiquadrate Mars, Mercury Semi-sextile Jupiter, Mercury Sextile Venus – Some projects require constant attention in order to move forward. Talk to people and do your best to tell the facts regardless of whether or not people accept it. You eventually find the right words to make your point.
4th – Friday – When we are violent or angry with others we soon regret it. If we are able to direct our abundant energy in a healthy way we are left with a feeling of deep satisfaction by the end of the day.
5th – Saturday – Mars Contra-parallel Neptune, Mercury Contra-parallel Saturn, Mercury Opposite Saturn, then the Full Moon – We can be in a mad scramble to complete tasks. Some of our deadlines are artificial and need to be adjusted. Don’t be afraid to eliminate unproductive projects and to reset priorities.
6th - Sunday – Sometimes when we are locked in deep passionate involvement we get bogged down and can’t move forward; this is the time to lighten up and gain a wider perspective on life.
7th – Monday – Jupiter Semi-square Uranus – Abrupt change is not a good thing or a bad thing, but it is a fact of our current situation. Wise ones know how to profit from the change of circumstances. See the opportunity and commit to a new course of action.
8th – Tuesday – Mars Quincunx Uranus – We can feel as though events force us to act before we are really ready. We need to be patient with ourselves. When we stay flexible and avoid using too much personal force, we can ride the wave of transformation.
9th – Wednesday – Mercury enters Taurus, Sun Parallel Jupiter – Profound alteration of circumstances comes by committing to a course of action and being willing to see it through to the end.
10th – Thursday – Mercury Parallel Mars, Mercury Sextile Neptune – Powerful intervention and total determination to make a difference leads to both the completion of a task but also a new understanding of our own process.
11th – Friday – Mercury Contra-parallel Neptune – Do we really understand each other? This can be a time of not getting straight information; check and re-check facts. Being truthful with ourselves is the first step in developing better relationships.
12th – Saturday – Sun Semi-square Uranus, Mercury Semi-sextile Uranus – Our desire for freedom does not mean that we necessarily have to bring about any external change. But, we may need to adjust our focus and attitude.
13th – Sunday – Sun Conjunct Jupiter, Mercury Trine Mars, Mercury Semi-square Venus – We have to feel good about ourselves before we can genuinely improve our romantic relationships. This is not so easy as negative impressions can be deeply rooted. Sometimes other people act as our mirrors. We need to stay sensitive to other people’s feelings, especially when our closest relations seem to be in some form of oscillation.
14th – Monday – Mercury Trine Pluto, Sun Semi-sextile Venus, Sun Quincunx Saturn, Sun Sesquiquadrate Pluto – When we focus our mind on the correct problems a new energy starts to circulate in our lives. A deep change in our being comes from being willing to complete responsibilities and then quickly change our perspective.
15th – Tuesday – Venus turns Retrograde, Mars Semi-square Saturn – From a higher vantage point we can see common ground between warring factions. Hard work and diligent commitment to detail brings a new harmony.
16th – Wednesday – Sun Contra-parallel Pluto, Mars Trine Pluto, Venus Semi-sextile Jupiter, Jupiter Quincunx Saturn – We are attached to seeing fundamental progress along practical lines. Even though personal effort is necessary to move forward now, harmony and balance with everyone else is essential to make progress.
17th – Thursday – Jupiter Sesquiquadrate Pluto – After a rough start, markets and concerns of the world surge forward. We can benefit most by encouraging others and at the same time paying close attention to the details of our own lives.
18th – Friday – There comes a time to just relax and engage in pleasant conversation with friends. We may feel an inner prompting to get back to work, but down time is also important. Improvement comes by integration.
19th – Saturday – We can be lifted up to a new level of achievement and insight. Planning and practical actions are the mechanism for moving things forward now.
20th – Sunday – Sun enters Gemini, Mercury Semi-square Uranus, the New Moon is at 7:48 PM EDT- Innovative ideas and unique insight propel us forward. We do best if we accept new thoughts but let them gel for a day before acting.
21st – Monday – Mercury Semi-sextile Venus, Mercury Quincunx Saturn, Mercury Parallel Jupiter, Mercury Sesquiquadrate Jupiter – We are in the melting pot of ideas and notions. It is as if our higher understanding is directly connected to our speaking. If we are very observant we will see important information coming from everyone who crosses our path.
22nd – Tuesday – Mercury Conjunct Jupiter, Mercury Contra-parallel Pluto – We have all the information we need to make an intelligent decision and move forward. When we are self reliant we discover that help comes from many different directions.
23rd – Wednesday – Sun Square Neptune - Our emotional impulses override our common sense. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but be careful about making any new commitments. Wait another day before making any final plans.
24th – Thursday – Mercury enters Gemini - Make home and family your chief commitments and spend time rectifying past slights; apologize or make amends if this is necessary.
25th – Friday – Mercury Square Neptune, Sun Parallel Mercury – We are stretching. Going beyond the boundaries of the known takes us into a new realm of creativity. Physical nervousness and indecision are the signs of internal conflict. Find a way to relax.
26th – Saturday – Incremental changes can lead to a sudden big breakthrough. Our enthusiasm can manifest a new adventure. Insight arrives from unlikely sources.
27th – Sunday – Sun Conjunct Mercury, Mercury Sextile Uranus – We can talk our way into or out of the most amazing situations. Pay attention to what others are saying. This is a very innovative moment and for the culmination of something we have worked on for a long time.
28th – Monday – Mercury Sesquiquadrate Saturn, Mercury Quincunx Pluto, Sun Sextile Uranus – Even though we may be surrounded by people who are excessively pessimistic, we can be a light in the dark world and inspire others to try again, even when the odds of success don’t look great. A fresh approach will bring different results.
29th – Tuesday – Sun Sesquiquadrate Saturn, Sun Quincunx Pluto – This can be a moment of endings. We are finishing projects that have been long in the works. Taking care of details is important.
30th – Wednesday – Mercury Square Mars – Angry words and explosive feelings can cause problems. We are much better off writing our thoughts down and then waiting a few days to decide if we want to share them with anyone.
31st – Thursday – Energy and time seem to be measured and in short supply. So much can be accomplished if we don’t waste any time on situations that will not affect the final outcome. A few well placed and deserved compliments can help the day progress smoothly.
