Today is a little unique astrologically speaking as Mercury throughout the course of the day will square more than one planet. Mercury is all about communication and speed. Currently retrograde, the next 48 hours should prove interesting. I won't bore you with the minute details of what Mercury is doing to whom planetary-wise, but there are some things to keep in mind:
The Sun is about to leave the Bull and enter the Twins (HooRay). The Moon is not resting in the Ram. Mercury is Retrograde also in Taurus. There is a triple conjunction of Chiron, Neptune, and Jupiter (once in a lifetime kinda thing) and these would also be the planets the Merc is going to square. Hmmmmmm.
Communication and travel may all be impacted -
If there was ever a time not to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, this may be it. If there is something you don't want to be caught doing, exercise caution. Things like email you should really not be sending at work (or anywhere else) is a big no-no. Drive, fly, and ride with an eye to delays and looking out for the other guy. For heaven's sake, get off the cell phone while driving anything including the John Deere - I mean, this may be the worst day ever to be doing that (not that there is ever a really good day to be distracted).
There is an upside. Personal creativity may crop up (or may be forced to if we are in survival mode). If you have Mercury squaring anything in your natal (birth chart), today would be a good day to research the situation. Some of us will experience negative dreams if not nightmares during this period. This will pass.
So, are there numbers to be found in this mess? You know me and Mercury - I always look for 718 in the 3 and any combination of 718 in the 4 - I continue to look for 5718 as we've already seen 1718. Some basic numbers from the planets:
Neptune & Jupiter - 3 Gemini 3, 5 Taurus 6 A number nagging me in the far reaches is 1107. I like 111, 444 but quads would be nice too.
One other thing, I believe this is one of those places in time where numbers around us may hold true significance. For example, yesterday I located an address that I have been searching for literally for years - the numeric aspect was 801 which was DE day play 3 straight. Keeping in line with the thinking of today, you might want to keep these "special" numbers to yourself. After all, the illustrious field of psychiatry has a name for this - ideas of reference. No worries, for everything they cannot explain they simply give a name and label a condition. But that truly is another topic.
Find great fortune today but exercise due caution while you're at it. Jake
