The BIG NEWS today is Mercury trines Uranus at 4:06 AM 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 share the same DNA are still different in spirit.

Uranus has been playing a HUGE role in our daily Life (horoscope) as it keeps coming into the exactness and rubbing different planets. Some planets it rubs the right way and some planets it rubs the wrong way. As occurs with any two (2) planets making contact. That's 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 or 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 take in, absorb, compute, decipher and analyze why is occurring, the faster change occurs. Mercury trine Uranus is not only asking us to recognize and embrace our 'specialty' because we all have something to offer to 'the cause', whatever that cause is for you. I am going to circle back around to this 'specialty' aspect but I will lay a little groundwork first in the next couple of paragraphs.

Remember from the Pluto in Capricorn write-up it states that we will (at some point) find ourselves out in the street with our fist in the air. Something will take us there that will rub us raw to where we can't stand it any longer and we will be out in the street with our fist in the air. I knew my time would be coming and what would make me get out into the street. FREEDOM. LIBERTY. That's my deal because with my Jupiter in Aquarius, every decision I make is based on how it impacts my freedom.

Jupiter is the most freedom-loving planet in Aquarius, which is the most freedom-loving sign. Jupiter e-x-p-a-n-d-s whatever it touches. Freedom of choice. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness (as stated in U.S. Constitution). I get to pursue my Life, Liberty and Happiness, but I do not believe that you or anyone else gets to pursue your Life, Liberty and Happiness at my expense (or anyone else's for that matter). If you are okay with your freedom(s) being limited, restricted, wrangled, held down and stomped on, that's your business and your freedom to choose in that way, but if my freedom is now infringed upon, then I have a real problem with it.

I am one of those people who absolutely will put God first (South Node Pisces), my country second (Moon and Saturn in Capricorn) and my family third, because if you do not have your priorities marked-up and solid, then you have no protection and no defense. God is your BIGGEST AND STRONGEST ally everrrrrrr and your BIGGEST AND STRONGEST defense. Don't claim He is and then not operate in His realm and under that belief. We all know we can get God to protect us faster than a pissed off family member. And while you are waiting for your rescue (military, ambulance, ship, friend, stranger) your ass will be praying to God while you hold on for dear Life. And when you are lying on your death bed circled by family members, it's really you and God holding that final conversation.

If you have no protection and no defense, then how can you be there for your family or count those you Love to be protected when you are not there? Who protects them? Uhhh, ummmm . . God and Country? I've thought this thing through. I'm pretty clear. So yeah, I will stand in God first, Country second and family third. Everyone else, get in line. This in no way means that I Love my family less, I believe it shows I Love my family more by having the strongest allies one could have in your corner. If you need back-up, who you gonna call? I'm pickin' up the Jesus Hotline for sure! If you call a friend or family member first, then there it is for you. I'm callin' Jesus first. But that's just me.

So circling back around to Mercury trine Uranus and to use this aspect in times such as this. This aspect reveals a special type of mental ability associated with intuition, gut instincts and knowingness. Flashes of intuitive insight are amazingly accurate. I have been posting videos on the home page from the modern-day prophets. I always believed that would be ridiculous to think there were only prophets and intuitives in Biblical times. Certainly there are prophets and intuitives right now. I have considered myself an intuitive since my early teenage years sitting in the library between the isles reading Edgar Cayce.

We are all intuitive but whether you practice and develop your skill is up to you. Some have developed and listened to their intuition so much that they are prophets. Some are channels. I have always felt as though I was a 'channel' writing these horoscopes at The Master's Direction.

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? We all know what we can do. Maybe you have a nurturing ability that can be provided to hold crack babies, born into addiction, crying in pain. Maybe that is your specialty. Sit with this aspect and ask yourself. What can I do? Not to promote and place yourself on a 'look at me, see what I can do' level. What can you do to glorify God? There I go . . I circle back to God. I believe this to be the Ultimate System that works.

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.

This aspect also makes it easier to communicate with others and figure things out. It is a wonderful aspect for speakers and writers. I'm a writer and typing a mile a minute this morning. The ideas should be pouring out of you under this aspect. Whether you put the ideas into action is up to 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.

This aspect also marks a placement that is perfect for astrologers, research and finding out the Truth through investigation and reading. So I send you to the home page of this website to 'research a matter out'. I'm going to use my specialty, which is the gift of communication.

I was talking to someone on Facebook yesterday and we communicated a little bit about confirmation names. I chose the name 'Elizabeth' on purpose because Elizabeth was John the Baptist's mother. And I Love John the Baptist. You would not believe how often I use his words in my daily Life, "MAKE STRAIGHT THE WAY!" He was a communicator and a hard-core believer. Communication is my specialty as I am a communicator (Gemini) who is naturally ruled by Mercury with a North Node Virgo, which is also ruled by Mercury. It just made sense to take the name 'Elizabeth'.

This aspect 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.

There is a change-in my daily work. I feel the importance of speaking out for our 'freedom(s)' is more important that writing charts. I have already closed the link to ordering Natal Charts and Solar Returns. I do not know when I will re-open those links. I will however continue to do phone readings as I feel that my intuition and spiritual guidance has been ratcheted-up a couple of octaves since deciding to dial back on the chart writing. And doing phone readings I feel that I am contributing more to your questions and purpose in this way. The guidance has been sped-up.

My Life is changing as I feel as though I have been 'quickened' by God to step-up in a bigger way as my energy has always been more global than local. I am able to cast my net further, as my yoga studio has proved to me that even as a yoga studio, it has turned from local to global. So there it is.

If I have written a Natal Chart or Solar Return for you or a family member in the past, then go ahead and email me to see if I'm at a space to still write one for you. Chart writing is going to be an ultra-nuclear personal service from here on out.
