Moon starts off Void of Course, then enters Sagittarius trine Juno at 7:11 am PDT, and is sextile/trine the north/south node axis for the first part of the day. Mercury is moving into the orb of opposite Pluto, and will be for the next part of a week; as good a time as any to uncover "stuff" lurking in the subconscious, but do be aware of hidden persuasions, just say no to anything that calls you. As Juno pulls away from conjunct Uranus, she is sextile/trine the north/south node axis for the next month or so. With a little preening, any ruffled feathers in the relational realm have a chance to settle down. All other things equal, which they rarely are, there may be a bit of emotional turmoil in the aethers today, the kind that retail therapy really does not address. Values beyond material are of importance, and there may be a challenge to understand that emotioal security is not provided by shiny things, even if it is fun trying.

The Birthcard today is the Queen of Diamonds, a Saturn implementation of a Mercury core, with a 3 of Diamonds inside and a 9 of Diamonds outside. Captain Beefheart, Gene Krupa, Kim Novak, W. C. Fields, Dave Barry, Lloyd Bridges, Hugh Hefner, Jerry Zucker, Paul Anka, Aristotle Onassis, Eva Peron, Martin Luther King, Igor Stravinsky share this Birthcard, along with Adam Smith, Edward Teller, Antonin Scalia, Tom Cruise, and Rupert Murdoch.
