Sunday January 31st 2016

Sunday brings the second part of the T-Square we previously mentioned: Mercury square Uranus.  We have visited this aspect several times since December, and we are probably tired of it by now.  With Moon in Scorpio, we may be up for one last fight, but is it worth it?  Only you can decide.

For better or worse, this aspect will bring insights.  Creatives, particularly writers and computer programmers (who do creative programming) will prosper.  Others will find themselves suddenly thinking “out of the box” and wondering “why was I in ‘the box’ to begin with.”  It is definitely a day of surprises for at least some people, particularly Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn.  You almost certainly felt this on Saturday (and maybe Friday), and you will almost certainly feel it on Monday (and maybe Tuesday).

For some people, this is the kind of Sunday where, on Monday, you pretend to leave for work but go somewhere entirely different and hide for a day or week or year.  (Maybe you “go out for cigarettes and never come back,” as was popular in the 1950’s and 1960’s.)  Do keep in mind that “this too shall pass,” and “things” will become different.  (Not “better” or “worse” but “different.”)  But, again, this will be a critically important turning point for some people who choose to move into new circumstances.  A fair number of you will do just that.

While we are technically still in the “retrograde shadow,” in many ways moving past this final aspect of the sequence ends this particular sequence of dramas and opens the door for us to (finally!) move in new directions.  But, in January of 2017 (when Mercury conunct Pluto perfects again), we may want to revisit our thoughts, notes, and decisions at this time.
