Cosmic Calendar

Early on, the mental universe is in an expansive mood — courtesy of a Moon-Jupiter 60-degree rapport (12:54AM PDT). Move forward to reach key literary, educational or publishing goals.

Where you may encounter some resistance to your efforts is during a testy square pattern from the Sun in Virgo to Vesta in Gemini (3:43AM PDT). There is a good use for this 90-degree aspect as Vesta has much to do with protecting your home and business from harm and invasions of privacy. Make sure fire alarms, kitchen appliances and smoke detectors are in good working order. Do you have first-aid items on hand in case there is an accident? Are batteries plentiful and flashlights handy were the power to go out? You may also want to check in with a sister or female friend who is near and dear to you. On the business and investment fronts, wisdom dictates a careful and conservative approach for the time-being.

Adding a healing touch to the day is a Mercury-Chiron contra-parallel (9:29AM PDT). Try to accomplish everything major on your to-do list before the Moon enters a void cycle at 10:15PM PDT. Just four minutes later, there is an intellectual feast as the Sun parallels Mercury (10:19PM PDT) — being fairly similar in nature to a union in the zodiac. Reading, writing and research are still emphasized while the void lunar vibes continues until 2:32AM PDT tomorrow morning when the Moon shifts into meticulous, earthy Virgo.
