The BIG NEWS today is Mercury trines Uranus at 1:46 PM EDT. This is an awesome aspect as it is the mark of 'the specialist', which is Virgo energy. I believe we all have a niche', a speciality, some sort of 'different' and 'unique' talent that separates us from others. We are the original us. You are the original you. I am the original me. Even twins identical twins, who 'have to be' the same sex, who share 100 percent of the same DNA are still different in spirit. They are 'not' the same person and absolutely different human beings.

Uranus has been playing a HUGE role in our daily Life (horoscope) as it rubs up against different planets or reaches out through a certain angle (aspect) and touches another planet. Some planets it rubs the right way and some planets it rubs the wrong way, as is the case with any two (2) planets making contact.

That is the way we humans are in a group setting. With each person in that group, we have a different connection with each person next to us (right or left), each person on a diagonal, and straight across from us. Those angles are called 'aspects' in Astrology.

So much is happening at record pace on a global, national, state-wide, local and personal level and the faster the masses absorb, analyze, compute, decipher and take-in, the faster change occurs. We are processing f-a-s-t-e-r and f-a-s-t-e-r and f-a-s-t-e-r.

Mercury trine Uranus is asking us to recognize and embrace our 'specialty' because we all have something to 'unique and 'unusual' to offer. Remember Uranus is - unique and unusual. It is original, rare and in a class all by itself. Own your 'uniqueness'.

When you own your uniqueness, you become comfortable and confident in your own skin. Folks, you can paint yourself from head-to-toe however you want, but you really don't have to try 'that' hard. The level of self-absorption and attention to detail that it takes to maintain a constant 'appearance' is going to take you off the path of the real uniqueness that you were intended to fulfill.

GET YOUR SOLAR RETURN! When the Sun 'Returns' to the same sign, degree and minute as when you were born

Why? Because the 'detail' is Virgo energy and when you become 'hung up' on a detail that is really unimportant to your 'fulfillment' or the 'intended purpose of why you are here in the first place', then it prolongs or procrastinates your spirit's mission, assignment or special-ops calling from Spirit Him (God).

This reminds me of the meme that says, "I'm pissed! I spent all of my skinny years thinking I was fat." Oh my gosh, how True and what a huge waste of time spent adoring and unadoring myself. Hey, but I'm 61 now and know better. So style yourself up so much that you look like a drag queen, fine, but understand this, the amount of time spent adoring or unadoring yourself is taking away from your special-ops calling. Virgo energy is SPECIAL-OPS!

Mercury trine Uranus reveals a special type of mental ability associated with intuition, gut instincts and knowingness. Flashes of intuitive insight are amazingly accurate. We are all intuitive, whether you practice and develop your skill is up to you. Mercury rules both Gemini (I think) and Virgo (I analyze), while Uranus rules Aquarius (I know). Wow Wee, now that's a human 'channel'.

This aspect puts you in-touch with humanitarian matters and causes you to ask yourself, what can 'I' do? That question mark right there is the specialty question. What is it that you have to offer that is special?

Maybe you have a nurturing ability that can be provided to hold and Love crack babies who are born into addiction and crying in pain. Maybe that is your specialty. Sit with this aspect and ask yourself. What can I do? This is not to promote and place yourself on a "Look at me, see what I can do and see what I did" pedestal. This is NOT about you.

What can you do to glorify God, not yourself? It's not about you. STEP AWAY FROM THE MIRROR! Lost souls or miserable souls are made of self-absorption.

At one time or another, we have all probably felt like a lost soul or have sat in the seat of being a miserable soul. That's Life and that's a bummer! Sometimes it's just our turn because nothing will make us grow and change quite like misery and suffering. And it will take, as long as it takes.

When the soul feels lost or incomplete, it is easy to dive into a self-absorbed pit of poor-me-syndrome. The more you focus on poor-you, instead of the uniqueness and unusual qualities you were born with, the further you get from what you were commissioned to do.

I believe your uniqueness and unsual qualities is the 'Ultimate System' that was designed to work for you, not against you. The more you move away from your unique and unsual qualities (Uranus) the harder Life gets. It only makes sense.

Where is Uranus in your Natal Chart or Solar Return? This is also where you will tend to rebel due to fighting with your'self' as you begin breaking through, cracking open and entering into your unique and unusual crazy-ass-self.

And you want to fit in? Really?

This is a perfect time to pull out your original ideas and create something new. Uranus is THE MOST inventive and innovative planet as it naturally rules Aquarius, THE MOST inventive and innovative sign.

Mercury trine Uranus also makes it easier to communicate with others and figure things out. It is a wonderful aspect for speakers and writers. The ideas should be pouring out of you under this aspect. Whether you put the ideas into action, "that's on you".

Mercury trine Uranus is NOT a crowd follower. It's not necessarily the leader either. It's doing its own thing putting its specialty to work as God had intended. If you follow . . . great! If you lead . . . great! But it's not about you, it's about God and THE MISSION that you were COMMISSIONED to do. You are 'chosen' to do . . so do 'it'.

This aspect also marks a placement that is perfect for astrologers, research and finding out the Truth through investigation and reading.

I'm going to use my specialty, which is the gift of communication, and send you to the home page of this website to 'Search a Matter Out'.

Mercury trine Uranus has special mental abilities that are associated with intuitive understanding. There is somewhat of a double-Aquarian trait here because Uranus naturally rules Aquarius and Mercury is exalted in Aquarius creating the gifted mind. Everyone can use this energy right now if you choose to. It's out there floating around and you 'get to' choose to use it. Dial into it.

When it comes to a career, this placement says, "I specialize or I have a specialty" which is Virgo energy. It is Virgo who is the 'specialist' of the zodiac simply because of their attention to details.

By the way, I am a North Node Virgo - Sun in Gemini, my attention to detail in writing these Daily Horoscopes is a bit over-the-top, I know, but I have finally decided to embrace my attention to detail gift and this is the result.
