If you read yesterday’s calendar entry carefully, you know that the dark-of-the-moon time-period of the month is in effect this morning and until the New Moon occurs at 12:57PM PDT. The key is to finish old business in the first part of the day as Mars forms a supportive, 60-degree alliance with Saturn (2:39AM PDT), Mercury parallels Pluto (4:15AM PDT), the Moon in Libra is void from 5:19AM PDT until 8:09AM PDT (when the Moon enters Scorpio), Venus parallels Ceres (6:21AM PDT), the Moon unites with Juno (9:02AM PDT), Venus makes a 30-degree tie to Saturn (10:35AM PDT), and Mercury makes a frictional, 45-degree link to Pluto (12:29PM PDT). Here are seven fairly important alignments – most uplifting, empowering and productivity-enhancing – but they are all encouraging you to complete enterprises that you already have been working on for weeks or months. Once the New Moon occurs (activating 4 degrees of Scorpio at 12:57PM PDT), the usual rule of thumb is to leap ahead with bold plans across the board and especially associated with in-depth research and investigative work. Causing a potential challenge just a few hours later is a sharp Venus-Mars square in fixed, power signs (3:24PM PDT). Love vibrations take a turn for the worse and social affairs may seem more subdued and turbulent than usual. A Sun-Neptune parallel (7:36PM PDT) opens the gates of psychic attunement while Juno trine Chiron in water signs (10:25PM PDT) is a notable boost for emotional empowerment. These two evening sky patterns are magnified as Pallas re-enters the universal air sign of Aquarius (8:34PM PDT) until February 11, 2012.
