Astro Update 8 2 11

Mercury goes Rx tonight at 9:50 PM (MDT) in Virgo. For the past week and into the next, Mercury is opposing Neptune, so I’m sure you’ve noticed how foggy things seem to be…no clear answers anywhere. Confusion is breathed in with the sunlight.

The upside is that beliefs are being called into question, so that we can dismantle old outworn modes of thinking. What do we know and what do we think we know?

Having a project ready to sink one’s attention into is a good focus for Mercury Rx. It seems to let the consciousness be meditative and focused and not so prone to judgmental errors. Mercury goes Direct on Aug.26th.

Tomorrow, Aug.3, Mars enters Cancer and trines Neptune, bringing opportunities to live our truth that might surprise us.

“The saint knows
that the spiritual path
is a sublime chess game with God

and that the Beloved
has just made such a Fantastic Move.

….whereas, my dear,
I am afraid you still think

you have a thousand serious moves.
