Moon in Pisces will be sextile Mercury exact at 10:06 am PST and conjunct Uranus exact at 1:43 pm PST. Mercury is also conjunct the north node. This is likely a good time for writing/journaling, except that Mercury and Mars are both "rocking" in a retrograde inconjunct cradle. Mercury / north node and Moon/Uranus are both inconjunct Mars; and making a YOD with Mars, so emphasis is likely on movement, doing something, go-juice. Whether or not that "do something" actually does anything except spin wheels is another question. This would be one of those "mixed messages" times. Challenging, but what you make of it. We are also into the stiction days prior to the official start of the dreaded Mercury Retrograde, which is Dec 26th, just in time for returns and exchanges. Keep those receipts in case you need to micromanage. Or better yet, be creative rather than comsumptive.

The Birthcard of the day is the emotionally powerful Eight of Hearts, a Neptune implementation of a Jupiter core, with a Seven of Spades inside and a Seven of Hearts outside. Various examples of expression of this Birthcard are Theodore Roosevelt, Susan Lucci, Robert Bly, JFK Jr, Richard Gere, Christina Applegate, Joe DiMaggio, Madeline Kahn, Itzhak Perlman, Harry Shearer, and the one and only John Cleese.
