Good Day

None of the other influences support you today. First of all we’re at the very end of the Lunar Cycle which is the time of finishing projects begun in the last month. And with Uranus semisextile Neptune, the general trends are contradictory when what we need is clarity. Even your own dreams, which seemed so clear last night, seem foggy this morning.
You may even have too much information. With input from every direction it’s hard to know what’s valuable and what’s just static. This is the question of the day: what does the customer really want in this time of upheaval?
With Mercury in Taurus your computer systems can be sluggish and your purchasing or negotiating efforts bog down. Mercury turns retrograde later this week so it’s best to just patiently address each situation. Try to discipline yourself for the long-term fix rather than an expedient solution.
Later in the day Venus in Taurus slows you down again, only this time a colleague may seem stubborn and purposely inflexible. Don’t misread the situation. They want to move forward too. They are just being extra cautious about the financial aspects of the deal. Better to listen and collaborate than to proceed without them.
Let me know how it goes!

I was on communication overdrive today, like Chatty Cathy all day. Can that be a symptom of Mercury slowing down before going retrograde?

Yes, they say that as a planet slows down our experience of it intensifies. Additionally, I think that you may be intuitively aware that NOW is the time to communicate because Mercury retrograde is coming. Also, I looked up your transits and the transiting Moon was square your natal Mercury yesterday. All adding up to Chatty Cathy indeed!

Cool.
Just wanted to tell you that I really enjoy your blog. Astrology has always seemed overwhelming to me – so many details and fine points and whatnot. Frankly, it still seems that way, but what I’m noticing as I regularly check in with your blog is that I’m slowly and quietly getting a handle on some of it. I’m also quietly making small adjustments based on what I learn. What I mean is, if I read the weekly forecast and I notice that Wed. is going to be a better day for getting a lot done than Thurs. I’ll make some changes in my plans to take advantage of that possibility. I won’t change big stuff. For example, I wouldn’t move mountains to change my closing date if it turns out that it’s not the best day astrologically, but I’d go into it knowing that there might be difficulties and I feeling better prepared. In considering the planets, the stars, I feel more connected to a larger picture. And that’s always a good thing. So thank you.

I’m glad you’re enjoying it. I certainly enjoy you reading it. I always feel you out there. What I love most about astrology is the connection I feel to the whole and to the cycles of life. I’m glad you’re getting a sense of that, too.
