In the pre-dawn hours, retrograde Mercury in Taurus sextiles Saturn in Pisces, inspiring us to review our commitments within work and relationships. We rise to an occasion, looking over the fine print of our investments, and having important dialogues. This examination will feel so organic that we may not realize the extent of our progress until a few days have passed. Although this is not the time for altering the terms of an agreement, we can determine changes that must be made going forward. Write down ideas that occur to you today. Meditate upon them. Talk your feelings through with friends. Then, see what you come up with!
After sun-up, the last quarter moon in Aquarius triggers tension relative to May 5’s Scorpio lunar eclipse. Intense shakeups to our physical, mental, and emotional security have given us much to process over the past week. We are still in a holding pattern, and the dust is still settling. Yet today we may erroneously believe we’ve gotten enough distance from the problem to manage it correctly. Though the initial shock has worn off, we are not able to be objective about this matter yet! Our tendency now is to rationalize, to make excuses for, and to assume we have the necessary tools to tackle this issue. Although it is uncomfortable, force yourself to be still. Feel into the frustration. There will be a time to take action, but that time is not today.
