Mercury and Uranus Will Make Your Mind Race Today

Today’s planetary activities are all about the mind. We could feel very mentally stimulated, or anxious and overwhelmed. It’s all a matter of perspective, really. Let’s take a look.

The Moon is Sextile Venus at 2:23 AM

Overnight, the moon in grounded Taurus formed a sextile with Venus in watery Cancer. When the moon is sextile Venus, it forms a tender, loving aspect. All types of relationships can flourish under this influence, but it’s especially auspicious for romantic pairings. You might even start a new relationship today.

It brings about increased beauty, charm, social popularity, and successful dating experiences. It’s an ideal time to be with your partners and friends, if you’re able to do so right now.

Mercury is Square Uranus at 9:14 AM

This morning, Mercury in Leo forms a square with Uranus in Taurus. This is a very mentally stimulating transit. You might find yourself growing bored easily and looking for excitement. Expect interruptions and setbacks—don’t hang on too tightly to plans you make. If you remain flexible you’ll weather these little upsets easily.

Your mind will be moving at lightning speed this morning. If you can keep up with it, you’ll feel sharp and inspired. Keep a notebook with you to jot down ideas that fly through your mind before you lose them forever. This energy has the potential to feel scattered and overwhelming as well, however, and if that’s the case, it would be better to not try and force yourself into tasks that require great concentration.

The Moon is Conjunct Uranus at 7:07 PM

Tonight, the moon in Taurus forms a conjunct angle with Uranus, also in Taurus. This could bring on a bit of subconscious impulsiveness, and we might experience some restlessness.  This transit can bring on some rapidly changing shifts in energy. We’re exhausted one minute and full of life the next.

This is also a transit that strengthens our psychic talents, so do what you can to get out of your head and go with your gut as much as possible. Flashes of intuition should be heeded, and take every opportunity to express yourself.

The Moon is Square Mercury 8:10 PM

An hour later, the moon in Taurus forms a square with Mercury in Leo. This is setting up a bit of a standoff between our emotions and our thoughts.

This all adds up to some possible conflict and irritability. While you’re hashing things out in your own head, be careful not to push your opinions or criticism onto others. Instead, channel that energy in a more productive way. You’re in the perfect frame of mind to do some deep cleaning of your physical space.
