If you read yesterday’s calendar entry, you will recall that Mercury is still retrograde — although gearing up to switch to direct motion tomorrow night. However, the universe appears to be on a charm offensive right now as several favorable sky patterns attempt to lift your spirits. The monthly Moon-Uranus (5:52AM PDT) and Moon-Pallas (11:44AM PDT) unions are mega-boosts for your thinking — particularly along intuitive and innovative lines. Brainstorms can lead to money-making endeavors if you are in the right place, at the right time, and in the right state of consciousness. It doesn’t hurt that the Moon forms a supportive, 60-degree alliance with mind-expanding Jupiter (11:30AM PDT) and a harmonious 120-degree trine with the radiant, glowing Sun (6:47PM PDT). Topping off this upbeat day is a Sun-Mercury parallel (7:42PM PDT) — similar in effect to a communication-enhancing union between the Sun and Mercury. Strategy sessions may be empowered overnight when you are burning the midnight oil — thanks to a supportive, 60-degree tie from Pallas to Jupiter (2:22AM on Tuesday morning). Write down your insights when you wake up tomorrow.

Sidestep confusion and uncertainty when Mars forms a feisty, 135-degree link to dream-weaver Neptune (9:01PM PDT).
