Moon in Cancer will be conjunct Mars exact at 9:10 am PDT. Now that Mars has moved to the edge of the orb of the once grand cross of changes, we will likely feel a bit of annoyance from this transit as a distinct, possibly more personal feeling along with the upheaval from the Pluto T-square remaining (see prior posts). Mercury in retrograde and The Sun are closing in on Saturn as Uranus accompanied by Juno is close to exact opposite Saturn. Pressure, upheaval, intensity, confusion, mixed messages as the KKKarnival on the news will attest. Saturn is inconjunct and Venus is opposite the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio --- uncertainty seeking comfort. Today, the trickster genius with a mistrust of the system or any system may make an appearance. One does not need to be a soothsayer to notice that these are intense times; the transits do correlate blatantly with the experience, it would seem.

The Birthcard today is the Jack of Clubs, a Uranus expression of a Venus core, with a Jack of Diamonds inside and a 10 of Hearts outside. JCs include James Buchanan, William McKinley, Thomas Paine, Rahm Emanuel, Julia Child, Spiro Agnew, Walter Reed, Art Linkletter, Ralph Nader, John Steinbeck, Napoleon Bonaparte, Oprah, Susie Bright, Gloria Steinem, Eleanor Roosevelt, Max Planck, Rudolph Steiner, Sergei Prokofieff, Raymond Burr, Lou Gerhig, Howard Cosell, Jim Fixx, Phyllis Diller, Fats Waller, Guy Lombardo, Mel Torme, Aretha Franklin, Shirley Temple, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Paula Abdul, whether they know it or not.
