<\/dt>\nIn addition, Mercury’s apparent motion has just started to slow down after recently exceeding a clip of two zodiac degrees per day.<\/p>\n
Besides anticipating another Mercury retrograde (beginning at 3+ Cancer on June 7), deceleration advises a trend towards circumspection regarding versatile Mercury’s earthly corollaries — thinking and speaking among them.<\/p>\n
Finally, there is the matter of what aspects Mercury will make immediately after having crossed into mutable air. The first such aspect — a conjunction with asteroid 10 Hygiea\u00a0just across Gemini’s threshold — will be essentially concurrent with both Mercury and Hygiea having opened a square (separation of 90 zodiac degrees) from centaur object Nessus. Nessus is hovering just inside of Pisces.<\/p>\n
All in all, it’s a busy day for Mercury tomorrow, probably indicating the same for you. Which is all the more reason to manage your mind and mouth well.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mercury at the mid-point of Jupiter and Uranus’ own slowly separating square brings to mind once again the grand cardinal cross of April. Yes, that again.<\/p>\n
Even though the cardinal Libra retrograde of Mars has taken it more than four degrees away from opposition to Uranus in cardinal Aries, and even though Pluto’s own cardinal Capricorn regression has moved it more than two degrees from opposition to Jupiter in cardinal Cancer, the combined grand cross aspect may still be considered functional.<\/p>\n
Since the apparent function of the grand cardinal cross of April was to encourage your advancement in some way, Mercury’s mid-point involvement implicitly indicates some sort of concluding lesson for you to discover.<\/p>\n
Because Mercury is moving to split the difference between expansive Jupiter and impulsive Uranus, you may soon discover how awkward the results can be if you jump to conclusions or speak out of turn. It is not necessary or inevitable for you to embarrass yourself tomorrow, however.<\/p>\n
Mercury is helping you to see ahead, to head off potentially inept thinking and clumsy expressions because it is slowing down.<\/p>\n
Think of what usually provokes you to slow down. Whether you are driving an automobile, riding a bike, running or simply on a brisk walk, one reason to slow down is when you see something you may want to avoid in order to maintain your well being. It’s an image that segues nicely with Mercury’s first aspect upon entering Gemini.<\/p>\n
Once in Gemini tomorrow, Mercury will conjoin with asteroid 10 Hygiea. Since the word “hygiene” derives from the mythical character after which the asteroid is named, Hygiea’s merger with Mercury implies how the middle way symbolically designated by Mercury in mutable air has something to do with thinking and speaking so as to take good care of yourself.<\/p>\n
All of which brings up Nessus to complete a holistic picture of how to handle what astrology reveals is coming.<\/p>\n
All centaur objects, including Nessus, require as part of their interpretation a holistic viewpoint. With the Gemini conjunction of Mercury and Hygiea also opening a concurrent square to Nessus, the implication is that you should slow down and pursue a middle way of thought and speech based on what you feel (or otherwise sense in your body) as well as what you see coming.<\/p>\n
Therefore, even as busy as your day will probably be tomorrow, exercise due care. As fast as your mind may be moving for the rest of the week, slow down and think mindfully.<\/p>\n
Finally, as powerful as the temptation may be to huff, puff and let holler, find a middle way. Look ahead and also feel out the situation so as to maintain your well being, and preserve an enlightened self interest before you express what may be errant judgement. Ultimately, what you didn’t do this week may end up being your greatest accomplishment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
