Cosmic Weather Forecast — February 10, 2010
Mercury joins the Sun, Venus, Chiron, and Neptune and becomes the 5th planet to enter into the sign of Aquarius on Wednesday. This has been a rather interesting Aquarian transit. To understand the natural energy of Aquarius, we need only look at the tragic earthquake which occurred in Haiti. Not that Aquarius causes earthquakes, but a dimension of the sign reflects human beings at their best. Imagine the millions of individuals that used their cell phone (an Aquarian device) to send money through the international (Aquarian word) Red Cross (An Aquarian Institution). The concerts, celebrity pleas, media attention, and politicians all joined hands in a collective embrace to help an ailing nation recover from one of the worst disasters in modern history. There is even a remake of “We Are the World,” being recorded and set to release soon.
What will Mercury do in Aquarius? Mercury is the planet of expression. Long after the Sun and Venus escape into the watery realms of Pisces, Mercury will still be doing his job ushering in messages and thoughts that have to do with the collective group consciousness and our willingness to participate in the fellowship of man. Mercury likes to understand the patterns of such groups, and we most likely will hear about disaster relief focus groups, improvements, and implementation for the next several weeks.
On the inner level, Mercury seeks out the truth. What is our truth? Is this simply another set of cliché words used to express our own self purposed agenda? Today, we can use the energy of Aquarius to decide just what exactly our truth is, and begin to express it with love and respect for others. We can all make a difference by first being truthful with ourselves.
