Cosmic Calendar

Golden opportunities are plentiful in the early going today as the Sun makes an inspirational, 72-degree link with Jupiter (12:40AM PDT). You might as well tune into the enthusiastic nature of the great adventure of life since a 60-degree supportive tie from the Sun to Saturn (5:05AM PDT) happens just a few hours later, but may inadvertently create more caution and realism than excitement and spontaneity. Remember that these two major solar alignments — to the largest planets in the solar system — are also occurring during the maximum dark-of-the-moon time-period of the month when finishing old business is more sensible than plunging ahead with bold enterprises.

However, by 8:55AM PDT, the New Moon — energizing 26 degrees of Leo — is a catalyst to aid you in taking several great leaps forward. The hitch in this game-plan is that the Moon in Leo enters a void cycle at 10:56AM PDT that lasts until 5:34PM PDT. Be circumspect and observant about the behavior of others over this 6+ hour twilight zone. Forcing your will on someone else will backfire.

Once the Moon enters meticulous, earthy Virgo (5:34PM PDT), become an efficiency master and super-organizer during the next two days. Pull away from any draining or ill-conceived social activities later tonight as Mercury makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link to Pluto (11:18PM PDT).
