The Astrologer Daily: February 29th, 2012
By Kelli Fox, The Astrologer
Things may feel unusual this morning. It’s not just that it’s Leap Day, the once-in-every-four-year occurrence of February 29. It’s also because the Moon makes a sextile to erratic Uranus, shaking things up.
With the Moon in Gemini all day, the focus is on fact, figures, data, and information. It’s a time of the month that wordsmiths, crossword puzzle fans and those with ever-present curiosity adore.
More watery types–Cancers, Scorpios and Pisces–may find the Gemini Moon to be challenging unless they have strong mercurial energy. This Moon placement fits Geminis and the other air signs-Libra and Aquarius-to a T.
The Sun is at 10 degrees Pisces, the Moon is in Gemini, Mercury is in Pisces, Venus is in Aries and Mars is in Virgo. With this combination of planetary energies try to: Discuss the latest book you’ve read with a sharp literary friend. Try not to: Forget to let others get a word in edgewise. Share the air.
Today’s exact aspects and their keywords are:
– Moon Sextile Uranus: Time for Something New
– Moon Square Sun: Overcoming Challenges
Mars is retrograde in Virgo until April 13th and Saturn is retrograde in Libra until June 25th.
Happy birthday to Ja Rule, Antonio Sabato Jr. and Tony Robbins.
