are in that mood during the day, that may change later

on, especially in the evening.

Between Venus-Jupiter in the morning and Sun-Uranus

later on, Saturday’s aspects are bold and bright. We

feel confident and our minds are brimming with ideas,

yet this is a time to outline bold plans rather than to

try to implement them.

If we came up with what we felt was a worthy idea

or two yesterday, Mars square Saturn along with the

New Moon tells us it is time to sit down at the drawing

board and see if there is a way to turn them into reali-

ties. This takes us just one step further than yesterday,

because getting down details is more important than

sketching out a few ideas on the back of a napkin.

With Mercury slowing down for an end-of-month ret-

rograde, we need to come up with concrete ideas, set

them aside and make decisions on them next month.

Today’s aspects show, at least in part, why planning

and then waiting is best for now. If nothing else, Sun

opposite Uranus, Mercury parallel Pluto, and Mars

quincunx Neptune will jumble things up a bit, so we

may find ourselves rethinking everything we were

ready to make a firm promise on yesterday. Instead of

that, deal with the hectic scene promised by the day’s

aspects, setting aside pending plans.

Though Monday’s big aspects remain with us to some

extent, Today we get only lunar contacts that are

mostly pleasant. We can get back to work that might

have been knocked off course yesterday, and perhaps

find a way to get some real work done.

Mercury contacts to Pluto and Venus, but particularly

to Venus, seem to tell us that the coming retrograde is

likely to be a soft landing, so to speak, with few of the

standard Mercury retro problems visible. There will be

plenty of time over the next three weeks or so for Mer-

cury to fool with us, but for now it may just give us a

period of quiet in much the same way that a noisy air

conditioner restores peace when we shut it off.

So as of 10:40 a.m. Eastern Time we are in that Mercu-

ry quiet zone we mentioned, with the daytime hours

almost as peaceful as the sound of Mercury silence. It

would be nice if evening looked as promising, but af-

ter the Moon hits retrograde Mercury, Pluto, and then

Saturn, that aspect to Venus doesn't look as promis-

ing in terms of socializing as we might wish it to be.

No matter, since as the late great philosopher Scarlett

O'Hara once told us, “Tomorrow is another day...”
