Moon comes out of Void of Course into Pisces, her home away from home, at 7:17 am PDT. Moon will be sextile Pluto exact at 12:52 pm PDT. Although we are in the middle of Mercury Retrograde with it's attendant monkeywrenches, there is likely a phew relief as Saturn is now out of Retrograde. A particularly "Saturnesque" kind of tension or blockage of the flow that we were becoming accustomed to is just suddenly not there. Today is good for inquiries into and appreciation of depth, particularly in relation, family, or community. What's backstage behind the curtain? A simple complement will go a long way, but remember that disingenuous flattery is ultimately counterproductive and even potentially destructive.

The Birthcard for today is the 2 of Diamonds, a Mars expression of a Saturn core with a 6 of Clubs inside and an Ace of Diamonds outside. 2Ds include Corazon Aquino, Viktor Yushchenko, Modest Mussorgsky, Rosie O'Donnell, Dudley Moore, Taj Mahal, Johannes Gutenberg, Ole Evinrude, Trent Reznor, and Howard Jones.
