The Moon in Libra trine Mercury in Aquarius at 7:18 AM EST. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

The BIG NEWS today is 'yesterday' the Sun moved into Pisces. If you missed that Daily Horoscope click back a day and play catch-up.

The only aspect present today is the Moon trine Mercury. As you have learned this week, trines are fine, sublime and simply Divine.

As the natural ruler of Gemini, Mercury is the planet of communication, marketing, promotion, sales, local travel in your own town, region, state or country and transportation within those areas such as automobiles, but not necessarily bigger forms of transportation because that would be Jupiter (along with global travel).

Mercury is also the natural ruler of Virgo, which makes it the planet of physical health, daily routine, habits, regimen, the daily grind, fitness, nutrition, hygiene, scheduling and organization.

This trine makes it likely you will be more in-tune with Good health and may accept invites and opportunities to explore a healthier Lifestyle. Mercury, as the natural ruler of Virgo, this sign ABSOLUTELY REQUIRES that you show up and participate.

Remember back in the day, all of your science classes required a lab? You had to go into the lab and actually use the beakers, test tubes and Bunsen burner. In other words, you have to APPLY what you learned in class. Virgo (Mercury) is the LAB for your class. You KNOW that you need a healthier Lifestyle, but you have to actually APPLY the information you learned in order to actually enjoy Good health. It doesn't work without THE LAB!

This Moon in Libra will likely have people obsessing more over their face, than their health. Remember the Moon rules the emotions, feelings, moods and sensitivities. Libra is a very 'presentation' focused sign. This can cause you to be more presentation focused on the outside of your body and not really 'on the body'.

Mercury wants the focus ON THE BODY (Virgo), but also ON THE MIND (Gemini) because Mercury rules THE MIND (Gemini) and PHYSICAL HEALTH (Virgo). Make-up + filters, Spanx, wigs, extensions and all the rest will not turn you into a healthy fit person. SURPRISE!

This Moon in Libra trine Mercury in Aquarius aspect is just perfect for bringing the emotions and the mind in-sync. Mercury in Aquarius KNOWS! So you know. You KNOW what you need to do. This aspect helps you get your mind straight in order to get your ass moving. Folks, you are NOT getting any younger. You just aren't!

I told my grandson, when he comes home from college for breaks, he will continue to see me holding my own, maintaining Good health, and staying strong. I told him he will not be wondering to his mom (my daughter) what happened to my strength and stamina. Instead he will be saying to her, "DANG MOM! DID YOU SEE GRANNY AND HOW HEALTHY SHE IS!"

Incidentally folks, I did not start doing headstands (sirsasana) and crow (bakasana) until four (4) years ago, when I was only 56 years old. (winky wink) Now I'm 60. And I was coming out of DOUBLE frozen shoulder. Indeed that is the Truth. Maybe you won't be standing on your head, but maybe, just maybe you will stop making excuses for why you have no time or why you can not find the time to care for yourself. NO ONE and I repeat NO ONE will ever take better care of you than you can take of yourself. That is the Truth. You have to show-up for yourself. SHOW UP!

Incidentally, myself and Christine (one of the Pose Yoga Teachers) took a headstand and handstand workshop this past weekend. She's a grandma too. Younger than me, I like 55 or 56. She would not mind me saying that. I'm putting her pics below too and you can click the link to read her bio on the Pose website. She is a cyclist too and bikes at least 200 miles a week.

Side note - When I returned to my yoga practice after having been away from it for 17 years, I was incredibly tight, plump, stiff and motionless. I had spent 17 years behind this computer and 'healthcare' website being completely out of integrity with myself. There were other health issues I was dealing with that I will not state outloud and give power to. I barreled through and showed up on my mat every damn day and kick-started my health and metabolism. Back then, I could not even lay on my back and do bicycles (opposite elbow to opposite knee). I could not even pull my knee within a few feet to touch my elbow. I fought for myself. And now I teach 2 to 3 classes a day, every single morning, 7 days a week, and I take zero meds. As a North Node Virgo I have to show up, participate and get my ass into the lab. My lab is the yoga mat.

You can click the pics to go to our bio's on the Pose-itively Yoga website. And Kayleen on the website . . she is our Abs & As(s)ana teacher and she is 62 years old. She would not mind me saying that either. She is a mother of six (6) and grandmother of eight (8). You will see her doing the full splits below.

Folks no matter where you are in your health . . when it comes to yoga, you HAVE TO show up on the mat. By the way, we offer S-T-R-E-T-C-H classes where we start at the very beginning and stay down on the mat the whole time. Ya' gotta start somewhere.

AS A SIDE NOTE - To reach two (2) days worth of your Daily Horoscope for each Sun Sign, you can find this on my other website Pose-itively Yoga. All twelve (12) Sun Signs are there. Save the link so you can access the page easily. Since I am a lark and not a night owl, I typically update in the super-early morning hours.
