Some days there is one major alignment that deserves most of the attention. Today we have that situation when the Sun and Mercury form their Superior Conjunction — aligning at 19 degrees of Virgo (5:45AM PDT). The reality is that the Earth, the Sun and Mercury — moving quickly and on the far side of the Sun — are lined up in the solar system. Dr. Marc Edmund Jones and Dane Rudhyar, two of the most eminent astrologers of the 20th century, would have called this a Full Mercury, when cosmic seed-ideas are attempting to blossom in the minds, hearts and souls of human beings. Stop worrying about things you can’t change. Focus attention on excelling in your literary, verbal, artistic and musical forms of communicating. Athletics and fitness routines are accentuated — thanks to a flowing trine in water signs from the Moon in Cancer to Mars in Scorpio (9:06AM PDT). Because the day and afternoon build up to a supportive, 60-degree link from the Sun to the Moon (10:55PM PDT), you can take advantage of many streams of creative expression to find fulfillment. The love boat enters exotic ports of call overnight as the Moon approaches a parallel to Venus (forming exactly at 3:21AM PDT tomorrow). If you are flying solo, be an artistic whirlwind or reach out to give a friend a helping hand.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, May 27th
Back on March 21 – two days after the spring equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and one day before a potent New Moon – we all experienced a Sun-Mercury Inferior Conjunction while Mercury was retrograde and between the Earth and Sun. As the eminent astrologers Dr. Marc Edmund Jones and Dane Rudhyar so clearly wrote in the 20th century, a Sun-Mercury-Earth alignment with Mercury in reverse is equivalent to a New Mercury. However, several months later, there is a Full Mercury – like the one happening today at 7 degrees of Gemini (4:20AM PDT), but where Mercury is on the far side of the Sun and moving at top speed. Thus, our Full Mercury is equivalent to a Full Moon – where enlightened thoughts and ideas are ripe for the picking. Adding to the festive environment – artistically and socially – is a Moon-Venus supportive, 60-degree rapport (6:58AM PDT). Revelations continue to pour in when Mercury makes a constructive, 60-degree alliance with its higher-octave guardian planet Uranus (4:37PM PDT). Hit the metaphysical and scientific books with a vengeance. Meanwhile, emotional volatility can be rising as the Moon parallels the red planet Mars (4:52PM PDT). Shortly thereafter, the Moon begins a void lunar cycle at 4:55PM PDT – lasting until 11:07PM PDT when the Moon enters industrious and meticulous Virgo. Finish odds and ends during the 6+ hour void lunar cycle, but don’t launch major undertakings. Get extra rest and sleep overnight as the celestial spotlight remains centered on Mercury’s many alignments.
