The Astrologer Daily: March 12th, 2012
By Kelli Fox, The Astrologer
The big news of the day: Mercury turns retrograde early this morning. Have no fear–just follow a few retrograde “rules.” One big one is to re-read emails before sending them to catch mistakes. Another is to double-check that people understand what you’re saying when sharing important information. And if you haven’t backed up your computer, today’s a good day to do so.
Also, if you can put off initiating important projects or making contractual agreements until April 4th when the retrograde is over, so much the better. The Moon is “void” from mid-afternoon through early tomorrow morning, adding to the day’s feeling of cloudiness.
The Sun is at 22 degrees Pisces, the Moon is in Scorpio, Mercury is in Aries, Venus is in Taurus and Mars is in Virgo. With this combination of planetary energies try to: rehearse a public speech in private. Clean and sharpen the jokes. Try not to: jump to any quick conclusions. Let details simmer awhile.
Today’s exact aspects and their keywords are:
– Moon Trine Sun: Time for Evaluation
Jupiter Trine Pluto: Magic Carpet Ride
Mercury in Aries is retrograde until April 4th, Mars in Virgo is retrograde until April 13th and Saturn in Libra is retrograde until June 25th.
Happy birthday to Liza Minnelli, Pete Doherty and Aaron Eckhart.
