If some of your pep and dynamism have been restricted as of late, it might be due to the recent Mercury reversal in Sagittarius that has been in effect since November 23. This doesn’t mean Mercury has been a bad or negative celestial influence – only that it hasn’t been moving in the same direction as the Sun and Moon (the two luminaries in the sky). Once Mercury makes its station tomorrow and returns to direct motion, it is easier for your mental interests and communication skills to line up creatively with your overall character (Sun) and personality expression (Moon). Meanwhile, as Mercury slows down in its retrograde cycle today, you want to strive to maintain productivity across the board as the Sun squares Ceres (3:32AM PST). This largest asteroid – Ceres – has much to do with productivity via its affiliations with Mother Nature, agriculture, gardening, food, diet and nutrition. Fortunately, 7 hours after the Sun moves 90-degrees to Ceres, Venus makes a constructive, 60-degree link to Ceres (10:46AM PST) – helping you stay busy and active with favorite arts, crafts and hobbies. Hit the scientific, metaphysical and astrological books this evening – courtesy of a subtle and yet still supportive, 30-degree tie from Jupiter in Taurus to Uranus in Aries (9:24PM PST). Once Jupiter shifts its retrograde energy-field to direct motion on Christmas Day, it will eventually play catch up with Uranus to form another one of these 30-degree links on January 17, 2012. While the 30-degree aspect is considered minor by most astrologers, it still has the power to give you a lift or breakthrough that can change your life for the better.
