…the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

-Mark Twain<\/p>\n

Two planets and the Moon are about to begin a performance long anticipated. It’s time to find your seat. The lights go up shortly after 4:00 pm EDT today when Mercury leaves Taurus behind and takes the stage in Gemini. It won’t\u00a0take long for the audience to realize that this is where the fleet one belongs. As if finally given a chance to improvise, the trickster will be hot from the first note. Don’t be surprised if your sinuses suddenly clear.<\/p>\n

Resplendent in the Sun’s illuminating chords, Mercury will open with a solo, making it look easy. The effortless riffs are enough so that many will not notice\u00a0the trickster\u00a0is sharing the Gemini platform. The Moon actually started the concert. It began playing while the lights were down, casting a shadow and setting a mood. That seems like yesterday.<\/p>\n

Now Luna will gracefully yield and play from the wings unseen but deeply felt. In aspect to a score of minor planets and major points, it will lay down a bass line that builds and releases tension over and over. Soaring\u00a0upon those rapid lunar rhythms, the trickster will have our fully conscious attention.<\/p>\n

The Moon will not be the only source of tension. When the stars come out, a guest performer will join the Gemini power trio of Mercury, Luna and Sol. Out on a runway, sheathed in its trademark fog, Neptune has been waiting for its cue.<\/p>\n

As far as your ephemeris can tell, Neptune appears to be standing still right now in the first degree of Pisces. As with so many other objects that have changed signs for the past two months, the first aspect Mercury makes after entering Gemini is to Neptune. With both the fishes and the twins signifying the same tonal (mutable) quality, that angular relationship will be a square. The suspense you\u00a0feel will not last long before a resolving turnaround changes everything.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The square from Mercury will be the last aspect to Neptune while it is in direct motion this year. Twenty minutes later, Neptune stations retrograde on its way back to take care of unfinished business in Aquarius. It will be as if the foggy one suddenly started playing eloquently backwards. It promises to be a trans formative experience. In all the excitement of the moment, the ramifications for your awareness will not be immediately apparent.<\/p>\n

By the time you arrive home, the Moon will have done the same, entering its Cancer domicile. That will be when it starts to sink in. Your familiar surroundings will appear to have altered in your absence. What you took for granted will seem new. Even your favorite pencil will feel different in your hands. It may feel like a chance to create with it as you never have before.<\/p>\n

This is not madness. It is inspiration. A good artist can get your attention. A great artist will enter your mind and deconstruct it. It feels uncomfortable and leaves you with some work to do. If you\u00a0can manage not to deny the discomfort or avoid the labor, you will have evolved. Somewhere in your neural pathways and even, perhaps, your DNA, the experience will have left its mark.<\/p>\n

As it is with a work of art, so it is with the astrology today and tomorrow. The moments of inspiration will pass quickly, perhaps even while you sleep. The feeling of being altered will last a while longer. It is for you to see in those hours the opportunity to create your very own self. Give yourself the same chance that the creative planets are giving you. The first patterns of this new eclipse cycle are setting in. They are a matter of choice. Will you expand your reach or will you settle for what you can merely grasp? You will probably not have to decide right away, but the question will present itself very soon.<\/p>\n
