Dear Friend and Reader:<\/p>\n

Mercury, moving direct in late Taurus, is now square (90-degree aspect) the alignment of Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune in Aquarius. This is the last of Mercury’s three squares to the Aquarius alignment, and the one that happens with them at their most precise. Try to visualize this without a chart. Imagine the Earth at the corner of a right angle. Off in one direction is a string of three planets; exactly 90 degrees away, closer to the Earth, is Mercury.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Mercury is also making a sextile (60-degree aspect) to Uranus in Pisces. So today Mercury is involved in four aspects, and it’s also close to a square with the Galactic Center in Sagittarius. This is called an aspect structure, where a group of planets aligns from different points in the celestial wheel to create one geometrically precise pattern; this one is taking place at 26 to 27 degrees of various signs (Taurus, Sagittarius, Aquarius and Pisces are involved).<\/p>\n

It’s difficult to understand or even feel an aspect in the context of itself. Human perception generally requires contrast<\/em> to function at all. For that contrast we need to utilize memory, particularly emotional memory. This can be selective; let’s use something really obvious. Consider how you felt in February, about four months ago. Scan back over some of the events of that month and see if you can get a sense of where you were at, so you can feel where you are today.<\/p>\n

I have said repeatedly and feel just about all the time that the alignment we’re now in is about creating your reality. If this is true, it’s going to be more meaningful and more noticeable to those who are actively involved in such a process, rather (for example) than cruising along or struggling to maintain some version of the status quo. There is a big difference, though the distinction is not made often enough for my taste. Wanting to change is not the same thing as committing oneself to the progress; creative process is a path of both thought and of action. It is not necessarily convenient. There are no guarantees of success; to the contrary — one almost never comes out where they anticipate they will on a creative project, commitment or intention. It’s almost always a matter of (as Patric Walker said to John Lennon once) “Life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans.”<\/p>\n

Yet we all know there is something unusual invoked in making the attempt sincerely and seeing the work through to some conclusion or at least an interesting place.<\/p>\n

Speaking to those working their way to a new level of energy or awareness, pay attention to where you’re getting information about your progress. Notice who you are encountering; what your relationship to groups of any kind is; and the way in which your mental and emotional patterns are changing. Most and I do mean a large majority of people are hung up mainly on their way of thinking<\/em>, literally, the method; that method involves deliberate use of ignorance<\/em>; and on a strange attachment to not changing<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Aquarius itself is being totally rewritten by this conjunction; and then we have Mercury, moving through Taurus (a sign where Mercury does not, according to most systems of traditional astrology, do particularly well), leaning into the conjunction today, as if to push us into focusing our minds, and to get something into the physical realm of the body and the senses. Part of what this alignment promises is the experience of not being alone; not feeling alone, and in reality, not being alone either. However, it involves four slow-moving planets (Jupiter, Chiron, Uranus and Neptune) and a fixed point (the Galactic Core).<\/p>\n

Today, an inner planet and one of the most personal planets (Mercury) is picking up the alignment, granted mostly with a tense square. Squares between Mercury and Jupiter or Neptune are prone to fogging over, deception, denial and exaggeration. Mercury square Chiron can feel like having a broken mind, but then something creative can come out of that experience of debility. There is a crisis of focus right now, but if we are paying attention it can actually get us to<\/em> focus.<\/p>\n

So, my questions for you are: what are you sharing, and with whom? What are you being offered? What are you receiving? Who do you want to connect with? How are you confronting your mental patterns and do you see how they tend to dictate the course of tour life?<\/p>\n

And what is your mind creating these days? What is your experience of your use of time? Are you wedged into your date planner, or are you actually flexible to be spontaneous and allow some of the synchronicity factor to work for you?<\/p>\n

We have a lot and I do mean a lot of potential that we are not tapping right now. Vast oceans of energy are being consumed by the Internet and cable television, without which I am pretty sure we would have the feeling of a revolution in progress right now. We can take some of that revolution to the Internet itself. I suggest we get it into the flesh; into the same room; into what we think of as reality. Yes this can be cumbersome, but you cannot dance with an email — and this is coming from someone who adores email.<\/p>\n

Yours & truly,<\/p>\n
