\"betelgeuse\"<\/a>Thursday June 19 could be a big day. Several odd factors look like they add up to something unusual. The first is one of my favorite routine aspects — Mercury conjunct the Sun, or properly stated, Mercury combust the Sun. The alignment is exact at 6:50 pm EDT in the next-to-last degree of Gemini. This is a weird degree, which is why I like it. While on one level a diversity of unfortunate things have occurred with important points in this degree of the zodiac, for me as a journalist it’s been like a beacon that has helped me string them together and step-by-step discover the truth. There’s also a fixed star back there, called Betelgeuse. This is the star of the distinct advantage or the sudden stroke of fortune. Yet this is not self-activating — you must take the initiative, and take a risk. It’s an invitation to stand in your strength and the strength of your message, and to think quickly and efficiently. At the moment that Mercury, the Sun and Betelgeuse align, they will be opposite the Galactic Core, which adds depth, a balancing element and a touch of the impossible. And as this happens, the Moon is in the first degree of the zodiac, on the Aries Point, the junction of the personal and the collective, which provides some information about the sense of scale that’s involved in whatever these aspect signify. This is the day to remember that astrology is not something that happens to you. It’s about what you do, why you do it and, finally, when. Such as right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
