It's Astro-Logical -- practical advice for conscious living ---> Issue #80
with Uranus in Taurus. This aspect formed at 4°.
The influence lasts into late June.
The theme of this pattern
new or original solutions to problems and more progressive visions.
Who are the players
and what are they doing?
Mercury in Cancer = a mind full of ideas fueled by intuition and concerns for security
Uranus in Taurus = original financial strategies, unconventional ways to handle business & $$$
Departing sextiles = information, news, "breaking developments" received through your own ideas, casual conversations, everyday life
What's happening?
Mercury / Uranus aspects form the Zodiac's most intellectual partnerships. When they connect look for new ideas -- in this case about how to handle $$$, property, finances, or business dealings to provide more safety and comfort in your private life, that protect your home and family, that offer more peace of mind, etc.
This can also forecast updated facts, breaking news, "more information," things you've learned (or soon will) about how to use existing assets to take care of you and your loved ones. This may involve breaking old habits, trying something different, moving away from traditional advice and trying something "original."
Mercury / Uranus sextiles can prompt you to change your mind, see issues from different perspectives and take risks based on intuition and insight ... ones that sometimes amount to a flash of genius -- or a sudden impulse from out of left field that pays off nicely. They help alter your opinions and replace prejudices (or entrenched patterns) with more progressive choices -- which ultimately give you more freedom, too. Interesting how that works.
Keep an open mind when this one is around. It can surprise you. But it needs space, flexibility and courage for best results. It's your job to supply those. You may be tempted to pursue new interests, go off on a tangent, explore some entirely different directions -- just to see what you find. This mix doesn't stick to the beaten path -- and sometimes out in the weeds, the best discoveries happen.
What to expect?
- A responsive mind full of ideas -- and able to generate more, especially once this gets going
- Plenty of future-oriented, original thoughts ---> progressive ideas replace traditional ones
- Exciting news, different options, revolutionary insights, "new ways to see life"
- Outside-the-box thinking ... big time! ---> more willing to think for yourself and find your own answers
- Old habits, daily routines, established patterns, etc., veer off in different and surprising directions
- More interest in learning things / meeting new people / friendships with people from different backgrounds with different assets to share
- A hit-and-run kind of social life / conversational style that can produce thought-provoking ideas, breakthrough insights ... but which end as fast as they start
- Contact with free-thinking, possibly brilliant people ignites your own originality, intuition, ingenuity ---> instances where you suddenly "get it" ... and your mind changes forever
- Future-oriented thinking and open-mindedness lead to original, ingenious discoveries ---> things you'd have never found by plodding along in the same old rut
somebody's got to tell the truth,
you know what I mean?
