Mercury and Uranus Will Stoke Your Creative Fire Today

Today’s planetary energies are all about that creative fire. Have you been beating yourself up for not taking this extra time to write the Great American Novel or launch your entrepreneurial empire?

Well, first of all, stop doing that, because you’re perfect just the way you are. Second of all, pay close attention to your intuition today. If Mercury and Uranus (and our trusty friend Taurus) have anything to say about it, your next big innovative idea could be right around the corner. You might even say it was written in the stars.

Mercury is Conjunct Uranus at 12:04 AM

Just a little past midnight, Mercury, currently in the sign of Taurus, moved conjunct to Uranus, also in the sign of Taurus. This transit stimulates thinking, and has a way of opening our minds and clearing the way for creative ideas and innovations.

This placement can cause disruptions in concentration, but with earthy Taurus holding down the fort there’s less chance of that happening today. Take some time to write down any interesting ideas that might have sprouted up in your dreams, and maybe keep a journal or notebook nearby all day.

Your increased intuition could lead to flashes of insight or breakthroughs.

The Moon is Sextile Venus at 7:12 AM

The moon, currently in fiery Leo, moves sextile Venus in Gemini this morning. This transit has a tender and loving energy. It drives us to want to spend time with friends, family, and romantic partners. So check in on your loved ones and let them know how you feel about them, even though you can’t physically be with them right now.

If you do have the opportunity to spend some one-on-one time with a significant other, this alignment increases your personal charm and beauty, and you’ll be less susceptible to arguments. Breakfast in bed, anyone?

The Moon is in Opposition to Mars at 12:02 PM

Leo moves in opposition to Mars in Aquarius around noon, heightening our passions. Leo and Aquarius are both stubborn, fixed signs. And when the moon is in opposition to Mars, it can bring up petty annoyances with those around you, highlighting some moodiness.

It might be wise to spend a bit of time alone and channel that energy into more creative endeavors. And wouldn’t you know it? That’s something our Mercury conjunct Uranus placement has us primed and ready for.
