The BIG NEWS today is Mercury squares Jupiter and the Sun conjuncts Uranus.

Mercury square Jupiter is quite the challenge for a couple of reasons. Mercury naturally rules Gemini (the 3rd house) and Jupiter naturally rules Sagittarius (the 9th house). Gemini and Sagittarius are opposing signs, as do the 3rd and 9th houses oppose each other. So not only do these two planets represent a natural opposition, they are squaring each other at a very sharp right 90 degree angle like someone sticking their elbow in your side and grinding it. Both Mercury and Jupiter rule the two signs of communication, talking, speaking, writing, publishing, traveling, transportation, learning and educating. These two planets also rule these subjects at different levels of communication, learning, expression and moving about the locale, country or world.

The two (2) aspoects occurring today are about as two (2) different energies as you can experience and you will ALLOW and CHOOSE to fall under one them of energy or the other. Astrology always makes room for your free will. God gave you free will and you don't even have to Love Him. You have choices. Choose one or the other with these two (2) aspects.

Now remember that Jupiter will E-X-P-A-N-D whatever it touches and when it expands Mercury, then this results in grandiose and exaggerated thinking. With this placement, remember the phrase, "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread." This is the classic placement for grandiose thinking that is just too 'out there' for realization. There is a rush to action in an attempt to get projects accomplished that are just too far out of reach for your circumstances, talents, skills, capacity or time that is required. Unless Saturn is well placed or aspected during this square, then little will get done, accomplished, fixed or off the ground. This is just flat out unrealistic optimism. There are a lot of ideas being thrown around, plans being made, schedules laid out and bags being packed but none of it really goes anywhere. There are just so many options that you may not be sure which way to go or which plan (path) to follow. It all sounds so optimistic, wonderful and highly inflated and IT IS! Promises will not be kept and this energy bites off more than it can chew.

The second major aspect occurring today is the Sun conjunct Uranus. Now this aspect is literally buzzing with excitement. Think of the solar rays and then the lightning energy of Uranus. You can practically hear the buzzing and feel the excitement, enthusiasm and energy. Think of the high-powered energy of the Sun with its solar flares and the electrical nature of Uranus, then throw these two in a bowl and mix them together. This aspect is what gives dare-devils and big thinkers that extra helping of high-frequency energy where they can think and perform outside of the box. This is the sign of the rebel, which leadership qualities. It is not the rebellion-hellion misfit. This aspect pioneers, it invents, it innovates and it thinks-up what no one saw coming. This placement uses the laws of nature and occult forces that others do not quite seem to understand in order to make things happen. It reminds me of the Star-Trek credo, "Where no man has gone before."

This is the placement of the reformer. While others may see this energy as arrogant, willful and even disruptive, this aspect can and will handle life and all the surprises that it has to offer. Those with this aspect will handle it because they have a new way of doing things, while others may be wondering, "What the hell are they doing!?!" And if you were wondering, and even if you weren't wondering, yes, President Trump has this aspect in his chart and it just so happens to land on his wife's birthday. So not only does he have this aspect in his Natal Chart, she will have it in her 2020 Solar Return.

Check out the Holistic Shop as I changed the fees on natal charts, solar returns and phone readings. And at the request of a few astrotators, I added FORTUNE REPORTS back into the shop. You will notice that the fees for the charts and reports have been cut in half and the phone reading fees have dropped as well. I will be soon be posting the North Node in Gemini and South Node in Sagittarius Transiting Degree Calendar because the Nodes change signs on May 6, 2020 until January 18, 2022. Watch for this and in the mean time, make sure you have a copy of the North and South Node eBook.
