Astrology

By Mark Lerner for Astrology.com - Is it possible that the annual Sun-Jupiter opposition (12:40AM PDT) can be an upbeat and positive alignment? Sure. Any major aspect between the two largest celestial bodies in the solar system can be tweaked to offer you golden opportunities across the board. However, every opposition represents a potential tug of war that can have earth-shaking ramifications. Regardless of what happens in the outside world, you do have a chance to expand your consciousness and make progress on the social, educational and professional fronts. Healing currents are on the rise when Pallas squares Chiron in fixed, power signs (11:51AM PDT). Even though this is a 90-degree link, you may have more psychological ammunition for strategy sessions and problem-solving.

Soar like an eagle in the arts and literary pursuits. A crisis atmosphere can arrive on the scene this evening when the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase strikes (energizing 19 degrees of Cancer and Libra at 9:36PM PDT). This is the right time to manage your life with greater finesse and jump over apparent hurdles on your path to worldly success. While any quarter moon cycle has a tendency to bring up a fair amount of tensions, it is tomorrow's Mars-Saturn union that can really manifest as a challenge on so many levels. Prepare for this conjunction between the red planet and the beautiful ringed planet by developing a conservative mind-set and nerves of steel during the evening hours.
