Solar flare-ups incited by the god of lightening

Uranus is rather famous for surprises, in the same way you never know when lightening will strike--or exactly where. The god of lightening continues to throw strikes at our hot-wired mental circuitry, inciting flashes and flare-ups of unusual ideas. As if that weren’t hot enough, all this energy is being channeled through fiery Aries.

Today at 2:46 AM, PST, the Libra Moon’s opposition to Uranus stimulates us to look for the avant-guard, the eccentric new friend, the unusual event.

At 7:02 AM, PST, the normally peaceful Libra Moon opposes Uranus’ sidekick and lays her intuition all over the logical mind of Mental Mercury. If you stay aware of the subjective nature of your reasoning, you can understand your emotions with unusual clarity.
The Force of peaceful preference is with you.
A Flare for Friday, March 9, 2012

Aries (March 20-April 19)
Very little in your environment will escape your notice today. Your mind us unusually bright, and the way you express yourself is based on logic and reasoning. Your willpower is strong, encouraging you to take the initiative (you already do this by nature, but today it’s augmented by the god of communications). You’ll feel intellectually competitive today--raise your hand in class and enjoy the debate. If it gets too heated, and your anger flares, it will likely be in the arena of your 7th house of partnerships.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You may feel like “making-nice” in order to keep the peace, but it would likely involve repressing how you really feel. It’s okay to occasionally let your feelings play second base to getting the work done, but draw your line in the sand at self-sacrifice. When the Libra Moon gets at odds with Mental Mercury around 7:02 AM, PST, old ideas and memories of relationships-past seep in and color your decisions. The only true thing you can say about the past is, it’s over.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Your goals and expectations for your life are front and center in your mind. When the Libra Moon has her challenging show-down with Mental Mercury (your muse) at 7:02 AM, PST, it will light up your love of the truth and your humanitarian ideals. Host a group think-tank. You feel very in tune with your partner or anyone you’re in a close relationship with. The mental electricity you feel today will stand your hair on end!

Cancer (June 21-July 21)
If you dip into your childhood conditioning (Moon) and try to apply that to your logical mind, you’ll be looking through an old, prejudicial lens. On the other hand, The peace-please Libra Moon is quite the active trigger today for you to see things differently, especially as it affects your home life. A surprise regarding your career ambitions could come through a family member. The solar flares are lighting up the rewarding aspects of your career, helping you free yourself from the red tape.

Leo (July 22-August 22)
The nervousness you may feel today is in anticipation of Uranus’ surprises. It’s like your hair standing on end just before a lightening strike. Your intellectual eagerness is wired for understanding of attitudes, and how they govern which facts you consider to be important, worth investigating. Perception creates your reality. Under the influence of today’s harmonious Libra Moon, you might say “peace is all I want”--until the phone rings.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Lightening strikes light up your ability to ingeniously formulate strategies. You may be inclined to secrecy about your plans, just to add some mystery and intrigue--two of your favorite things today. You’re ready to take on a Mission Impossible and delve into the hidden aspects of your own mind. You may be amazed by some conversations you have today. Around 11:54 AM, PST, you’ll experience something particularly intense in this regard--even by your standards.

Libra (September 23-October 22)
When the Libra Moon opposes Urgent Uranus at 2:46 AM, PST, the tone is set for an excitable mood and a hair-trigger mind. You are awake! Your thoughts are focused on cooperation with others, with a heightened charm added to your gift for public relations. More than ever you want harmony, and the discordant and ugly side of life is more distasteful than usual. With the Moon in your sign you can be too easily influenced. You could go along with someone, or an idea, just for the sake of keeping the peace. Say no.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
You generate a psychic field so powerfully intense that others are a bit wary of you today. Around 11:54 AM, PST, your Scorpio sleuthing abilities will gain an intensity that could spook your friends--and you. The lightening strikes light up your ability to plan and work out any detail. This is a day that ends with, “job well done!”

Sagittarius (November 22-December 20)
Uranus stimulates you to look for the avant-guard, the eccentric new friend, the unusual event. You may even try to stir up some stimulation in your partnerships or marriage by picking a fight--quite unintentionally. You just enjoy the fun and play of all kinds of interactions today--including pranks played on friends. You’re not insensitive to people’s needs or feelings, it’s just that you don’t want to coddle them either. Playing games today may look like amusement, but you’re actually going to learn somehting about yourself.

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
It’s late afternoon at the beach, you’re wet from a swim, when dark clouds roll in with thunder. Imagine the intuitive edginess you feel just before lightening strikes. That’s the electric energy coming your way to help you enter into discussions with family members about your inner most thoughts. It is also a good day to work at home, to take one step away from the business of the world.

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
You feel very in tune with your partner or anyone you’re in a close relationship with. Today Libra Moon is creating a spiritual experience based on feelings rather than reason. Your imagination is hot-wired for flashes of intuitive understanding. The other side of this Moon has a conflict-avoidance mechanism that can cause you to drift into situations that are unhealthy--just because you don’t want to disturb the peace.

Pisces (February 18-March 19)
A strong psychic sensitivity is hot-wired by the current, on-going, collusion of the god of lightening and Mental Mercury. The Libra Moon in your 8th solar house of the sleuth may encourage you to delve into the secrets of those close to you. You might want to write about it, or create your own mystery novel. You may get a surprise, like money, regarding your writing, publishing or teaching. Life is playing out for you behind the scenes.
