Mercury and his higher octave are the
headline makers on this Christmas Eve. This morning we wake up to the
Moon in Aquarius. Her first aspect, a sextile to Saturn, occurred at
9:57 PM last night. Her next, a sextile to Uranus, doesn't occur
until 6:27 PM tonight. I don't know about anyone else, but it is
obvious to me that the Lightning God is now direct and firing away.
Some things are definitely breaking loose and opening up allowing
light to shine through the crevices. Illumination has been restored.
With the aspects from the Moon and Mercury to Uranus this evening, we
are likely to witness some of those sparks.
The key to managing this on a personal
level depends on one's ability to remain well grounded and to convert
the lightning bolts of Uranus from shocking or surprising (which
kicks in our fight or flight responses) into smooth pure blue energy.
That calls for rising above personal emotional reactions. Just so
happens, that is a special talent of Aquarius and there is plenty of
this sign's energy swirling around in the air. But, met from an
ungrounded and “itchy” platform, it can certainly cause the
negative potential of this energy to manifest. So, enter into
gatherings with a bit of detached interest and give things time to
unfurl before you spontaneously react to them. Those few moments it
takes to catch your breath and slow your heart rate before responding
to stimuli are key in successfully navigating the lightning bolts
that Uranus hurls.
Mercury squares off with his higher
octave at 8:32 PM. This can cause pieces of information to fall
together in a rapid “Aha!” moment. Or, we could hear some
illuminating conversations in the outside world. There could be some
blurting going on. And, this blurting could reveal things that the
communicator did not intend to reveal. Mercury is also waxing into
conjunction with Pluto which perfects at 1:51 AM. In between the
square to Uranus and the conjunction to Pluto, the Moon meets Mars by
conjunction at 11:37 PM.
On the upswing of this energy, this is
a good time to gather around friends or community. Uranus and Mercury
are both social. Uranus favors extended circles and connecting large
groups of people. So, this evening would be fit for a gathering that
included work mates, family, extended family and friends...a good
solid mix of folks from all areas of your life. It would be a great
night to come together for humanitarian efforts such as distributing
food/goods collected for the holidays, visiting nursing homes or
medical facilities, or simply reaching out with good intention toward
your fellow human. It's a great night for trying new things,
fostering new connections, collaborations and, even, social
networking.
On the negative end, Mercury is
pressurized. The square to Uranus could prompt surprising or shocking
news that triggers or upsets others whether intentionally or by
accident. Arguments could arise as a result of these aspects. Other
(more negatively inclined) possibilities include motor vehicle
accidents, increased awkwardness or clumsiness, internet security
breaches, nervousness and/or anxiety and, of course, impulsiveness
with potentially dire consequences.
Mercury in square to Uranus plays jump
rope with the thin line between genius and madness. Is it genius? Or
is it pure insanity? You will have to be the judge of that; but,
either way, there are likely to be some interesting conversations
happening by the end of the night. It's great for brainstorming
collectively for solutions. At the same time, it's also great for
mixing groups of people who have strong differing opinions and
starting a small riot. The key to balancing it all, comes from our
current North Node in Libra and the tone of the hostess of this party
who may be called in to redirect the group from tense conversations
and instead steer them toward less confrontational speak. This can be
done delicately or more forcefully depending on the situation. And,
it will largely depend on the situation and the demeanor of the
hostess.
Don't take things too personally and
use conversations as tools for study as if you were an only an
observer taking notes for scientific study. Don't become overly
emotionally invested. Give people space to express themselves and
refrain from being too judgmental...though that last part may be
difficult since Mercury in Capricorn can certainly judge with the
best of them. But, this can be accomplished. Contribute your 2 cents
but don't forget to listen with an open mind giving equal podium time
to all. Nobody is really going to be in the mood for wild emotional
displays. So, don't make any. Save those for the Pisces Moon coming
in tomorrow and trickling all the way into Saturday morning.
