Astrology

Anytime the Sun and Jupiter make waves - as they do this morning by connecting via a frictional, 135-degree link (12:10AM PDT) - you want to focus your attention on the Big Picture, your philosophy of life, and developing new ways to grow in the realms of literature, publishing and education. However, a void lunar cycle occurs in Scorpio from 3:04AM PDT until 7:12AM PDT (when the Moon enters fiery and enthusiastic Sagittarius). Finish old business and recent projects on a high note during these 4+ hours, but don't begin new or bold enterprises. Once the lunar orb is safely in Sagittarian territory, emulate the cosmic archer zinging arrows to the bull's-eye of numerous targets. The key today is to reach several goals and keep moving on to explore exciting hobbies, arts and crafts. Sagittarius Moon should help you maintain a happy-go-lucky disposition and contribute toward your strengthening an optimistic mind-set. It doesn't hurt that Mercury enters Cancer at 12:21PM - a cycle of the fleet-footed Messenger of the Gods that lasts until July 17. Mercury in this fourth sign of the zodiac boosts psychic sensitivity and activates your creative imagination. Nonetheless, slow your pace in romance, business and while traveling since Mercury moves 90 degrees to Juno (2:30PM PDT) and then 45 degrees to Pallas (3:53PM PDT). Look for a rise in your productivity this evening when Ceres in Virgo makes a mentally-stimulating, 72-degree tie to Vesta in Cancer (8:23PM PDT).
