The magic eight-ball revealing today’s celestial offerings is coming up with mixed messages. On one hand, disturbing tensions are filling up the psychic atmosphere as the Sun parallels Pluto (5:38AM) and the Moon parallels Uranus (6:31AM).

Additional stress is piling on due to the Moon in Aries squaring Mercury retrograde in Capricorn (6:48AM) while Pallas moving into a frictional, 45-degree tie to Saturn (8:36AM) suggests that mental fatigue can replace skillful problem-solving abilities. Circumstances beyond your control appear to be in the driver’s seat. However, the Moon trine to Venus (6:41AM) and a subtle and yet still supportive, 30-degree link from Mercury to Venus (7:26AM) attempt to shift the daily scales of life-experience from doubt to hope.

The arrival of the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (activating 27 degrees of Capricorn and Aries at 3:27PM) suggests the need to cut through apparent obstacles in your path. Manage your business affairs with finesse via building up self-confidence.

The 6 hours after the Sun and Moon are in square formation (3:27PM) emanate an aura of haziness as the void-of-course lunar cycle holds sway until rock-solid Taurus draws in the Moon’s vital power for the next two days starting at 9:49PM. Be a pillar of strength overnight for friends or loved ones on the ropes.

Today is a mixture of opportunity and challenges where the highlights include an investment-energizing Moon-Vesta union in Aries (12:29PM), an overall encouraging Moon-Jupiter parallel (6:55PM), and a relationship-supporting, 72-degree rapport from Mercury to Juno (7:26PM). Ceres parallel Saturn (2:39PM) and the Moon trine Saturn in fire signs (4:23PM) are moderate boosters — especially regarding home, family, and business matters.

It is during the later hours when you want to be extra careful since Juno makes a frictional, 45-degree tie to the Mean Lunar Node (9:12PM), the Moon squares Pluto (9:16PM) and makes its monthly conjunction with surprise-bringer Uranus (11:16PM).

Do your best to turn potential shock waves into flashes of genius as you study advanced subjects — particularly in the fields of science and high-technology.

Home and professional interests can merge in a favorable way due to Ceres forming an inspirational, 72-degree liaison with Saturn (1:48AM). Be receptive to ingenious ideas during an Inferior Conjunction of the Sun and Mercury retrograde (6:06AM at 24 degrees of Capricorn).

This is actually an Earth-Mercury-Sun line-up in the solar system in which Mercury is close to the Earth. The eminent astrologers Dr. Marc Edmund Jones and Dane Rudhyar referred to this heavenly alignment as a New Mercury — when eager human minds could grab ahold of cosmic seed-ideas and eventually turn that divine energy into earthly creations that promote societal advancement across the board.

While a supportive, 60-degree alliance between the Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Capricorn (8:32AM) can increase physical-emotional vitality, this Moon-Sun contact also begins a 10 hour void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 6:49PM. Even though the Moon is out of sorts while in void mode, Mercury makes another sterling connection today via a harmonious trine to mind-expanding Jupiter (6:16PM).

Once the Moon enters fiery Aries (6:49PM), it is wise to enhance your leadership credentials and be more assertive even though a rising tide of temporary confusion can appear as Ceres forms an off-kilter, 150-degree tie to the Mean Lunar Node (9:55PM) while Mercury forms a caustic, 45-degree link to Neptune (10:32PM).

Keep a notebook by your bed to record Technicolor dreams and out-of-the-body experiences as the Moon makes its monthly conjunction with far-out Neptune in Pisces (5:18AM) while the Sun forms an intense 45-degree link to Neptune (7:38AM). Tune into your spiritual willpower and mental concentration — courtesy of Ceres parallel Pluto (11:36AM).

Regain any lost confidence that occurred when Jupiter began its four-month retrograde cycle on January 7 as the Sun and Jupiter open a euphoria-building, telepathic communication via a flowing trine of 120-degrees in earth signs (2:50PM).

Look to Venus as a cosmic guardian angel of love and understanding despite its squares to Chiron (4:27PM) and the Moon (10:55PM). The good nature of Venus shows up during a parallel to the Sun (9:21PM) and all-around healing vibrations add a soothing emotional touch during the monthly Moon-Chiron conjunction (10:23PM).

Completing old projects with pizazz is something that can be accomplished with the Moon in void mode in Aquarius until 3:55PM. Helping you gain productivity in main fields of expertise are the Moon making its monthly union with Ceres (5:26AM) followed by Venus parallel Ceres (6:31AM). These twin Ceres alignments can also boost your parenting skills and assist in recognizing dietary-nutritional needs.

Solving problems via strategic thinking is promoted as Mercury retrograde and Pallas join forces at 27 degrees of Capricorn (8:15AM). Ward off emotional tensions and a temporary rise in potential confusion as the Moon parallels Mars (1:52AM) and Neptune (5:12PM). In the meantime, the Moon’s entry into watery Pisces (3:55PM) is a reminder to be compassionate and empathic to dear ones on the skids.

Insights abound concerning a wide variety of artistic media as Venus trines Uranus in fire signs (4:12PM). This promising Venus-Uranus alignment can also double as a catalyst to energize a key romantic partnership. Dance the night away as the Moon in the last sign of the zodiac can give you happy feet.

Over the next few days, the universe is striving to be more benevolent than adversarial toward humanity. Tune into current trends of fashion, style, and elegance while the Sun makes an upbeat, 72-degree rapport with Juno (6:10AM). Venus parallel Pluto (7:58AM) adds more oomph to the Sun-Juno connection, but say no to egocentric behavior on the romantic front. Watch out for some temporary hassles in business matters due to Mercury making an abrasive, 45-degree link to Saturn (11:57AM).

Fortunately, a tag-team effort by Mercury forming an inspirational, 72-degree tie to Vesta (2:22PM) and the Moon in Aquarius making a supportive, 60-degree alliance with Venus in Sagittarius (3:00PM) can overcome any tendency to mess up on the financial and investment fronts.

Open your mind to ingenious thoughts as the Moon approaches a constructive, 60-degree aspect to Uranus (5:10PM). However, once this Moon-Uranus interaction is precise, a void lunar twilight zone in Aquarius comes into manifestation until 3:55PM tomorrow. Be a minimalist overnight to avoid falling into psychic black-holes of your own creation.

Following a boost for the power of positive thinking as the Moon in Capricorn trines Jupiter in Virgo (12:34AM), stay upbeat and confident about making the grade as a budding entrepreneur or hobby-master. Tweak a potentially frictional, 45-degree tie between Mercury and Venus (4:24AM) toward success in arts, crafts, and literary endeavors as the Moon makes its monthly unions with Pallas (4:31AM) and Mercury retrograde (9:41AM).

Solve as many problems as you can as the clock approaches 9:41AM because that time begins a 2 hour void lunar cycle that lasts until 12:24PM when Aquarius Moon makes its monthly appearance. Keep a low profile during the void-of-course Moon experience — finishing old business on a high note.

The arrival of airy Aquarius Moon places a strong emphasis on participating in group projects, team sports, community volunteer work, and global causes close to your heart and philosophy of life. However, wavering from your main goals can send you on unnecessary detours as Ceres makes an off-kilter, 150-degree contact with Jupiter (1:22PM) while the Moon squares Mars in fixed, power signs (7:33PM). Metaphysical and astrological studies will keep you out of harm’s way.

It is hard to gain a lot of traction with major business and career-oriented plans under an increasingly potent dark-of-the-moon cycle amplified by Venus parallel Saturn (7:17AM) and the Moon making its monthly union with secret-keeper Pluto in Capricorn (10:41AM).

Nevertheless, a cosmic rescue mission to assist you as a problem-solver, strategist, and all-around MVP on the athletic front arrives in the form of a flowing trine between the Mean Lunar Node in Virgo and Pallas in Capricorn (6:33AM) and an inspirational, 72-degree liaison from Mars to Pluto (9:17AM).

In the meantime, it is better to wait until the official moment of the New Moon (energizing 20 degrees of Capricorn at 5:32PM) before launching bold ventures that can capture the imagination of your community, nation, and the world’s ever-evolving marketplace of goods, services and breakthrough concepts. Let the good times roll tonight as the Moon approaches a trine to faith-building, ebullient Jupiter (forming exactly at 12:34AM on Sunday).

This is a good point in the Cosmic Calendar to remind you that solar and planetary alignments that occur on one day don’t just disappear the day after. Instead, they remain very active, but more below the conscious astro-radar screen and yet still influencing human and societal affairs in dramatic fashion.

Psychic storm warnings are very much in effect right now as healing vibrations increase due to Mars forming an intense, 135-degree link to Chiron (5:41AM) while the Sun makes a supportive, 60-degree alliance with Chiron (6:16AM). Both of these sky configurations occur while the Moon is still void in fiery Sagittarius. By 7:08AM, the lunar orb enters the industrious, hard-working realm of earthy Capricorn for a two-day adventure.

Adding more gravitas to the tenth sign of the zodiac are Mercury retrograde retreating from Aquarius into Capricorn (11:37AM) while Venus at 12 degrees of Sagittarius unites with Saturn (ruling Capricorn) at 8:12PM. While focusing attention on professional aims makes total sense, slowing down your pace in romance and social affairs may be the right move now to steer clear of the big chill penetrating your mini-universe of key relationships.

Another reason to be cautious concerning primary partnerships is that Juno makes a frictional, 45-degree link to still motionless Jupiter (10:16PM) and the dark-of-the-moon monthly cycle builds in power as the next New Moon arrives on the scene tomorrow at 5:32PM. Look within for guidance as Friday night morphs into Saturday morning.

Get your act together as strange cosmic forces are on the prowl. As indicated in this calendar yesterday, the Sun squares revolutionary Uranus (4:23AM) while the largest planet in our solar system — Jupiter — appears to stop from the Earth’s vantage point at 24 degrees of Virgo (8:41PM), beginning a retrograde cycle that lasts until May 9.

Adding to the overall uncertainty that this 24-hour time-period spreads through humanity like an alien virus are an off-kilter, 150-degree tie from Juno to Vesta (2:05AM) and a square between the Moon in Sagittarius and giant Jupiter (6:45PM) that starts a void lunar twilight zone continuing until 7:08AM tomorrow.

Helping you cope with various unsettled conditions are an inspirational, 72-degree rapport between Venus and Ceres (4:10AM) and an intuition-enhancing trine from the Moon to Uranus (6:30AM). This Jupiter halt in the heavens is actually influential all day, and themes like the power of positive thinking, goal-orientation, higher learning, seeing the shape of things to come, providence and benevolence, good fortune, Big Business, long-distance journeys as well as pride, arrogance, hubris and overdoing a good thing can boost your self-confidence or send you to the back of the class with a dunce cap on your head. Know what you are doing and where you are going to avoid instant karma intruding into your life.
