The BIG NEWS today is Mercury sextiles Venus at 11:36 AM EDT causing all of us to wake up on the right side of the bed with Loving thoughts, kind words and gentle approaches. Even though the Moon squares the Sun at 3:46 AM EDT, this major aspect of Mercury sextile Venus will overrule it and cause your angst not to last. The Moon square the Sun is mommy and daddy issues, which transfer to the child or adult children in their way of thinking. Mercury is the planet of communication and Venus is the planet of Love. Everybody wants Love, which is the key to happiness. It's not about being in Love, as much as it is being a Loving person. Well, you learned how to Love somewhere, by someone, and some people had better teachers than others. Still, communication today is very Good, which you may have felt over the past few days since this major aspect came into applying degrees on Wednesday, August 15, 2018 and will last until September 6, 2018.

Whew, with all of the nutty lunar aspects we have experienced this month, it's about time we have some support from Mercury, especially with it being Retrograde. Tonight, Mercury actually turns Direct in several U.S. time zones since it will Direct at 12:25 AM Eastern Time. That means tonight it turns Direct at 11:25 PM Central, 10:25 PM Mountain, 9:25 PM Pacific, 8:25 PM Alaska and 6:25 PM Hawaii. So there ya' go folks, relief comes early than expected. Always remember that I post everything on this website in Eastern Time because I have to pick a time, so I choose Eastern. You always need to make adjustments in your mind, heart and schedule for this time warp. Now listen, it is going to take about a week for Mercury to get back to its normal clip (speed) since it has been moving through mud over the past July 26, 2018. I don't know about you, but this has been the longest, most complicated Mercury Retrograde I have experienced in a long long time. It's just been nuts! But still, I don't like to talk about those things as they are occurring and give them power, so I just suffer in silence about it. What can I say, I'm a South Node Pisces, the silent sufferer. ZIP IT AND DON'T BLAB ABOUT IT!

There is another lunar aspect occurring today, which is the Moon sextile Mars at 11:07 AM EDT, which will light some action under your butt and cause you to work or go workout. This aspect is emotionally active in a Good way, so you may feel pumped and ready to rumble. Enjoy the day. Now remember, it will take Mercury about a week to get back up to its normal clip, so if you can still hold off signing any important papers or making new 'electronic or automobile' purchases until a week from now, that would be great!
