The Moon in Leo square Uranus in Taurus at 2:26 AM EST. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

Mercury in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces at exactly 6:18 AM EST where it began in applying degrees on December 30, 2020, it is exact today, and will last in separating degrees until January 3, 2021.

Greetings from Cherokee, North Carolina (my official address) and ringing in the New Year with Mama Bear and Poppy Seed. HAPPY NEW YEAR and welcome to 2021. I was asleep by 8:30 PM EST. Zonked! The Scorpion King knew I would be zonked out early and texted me at 7:00 PM EST. I do not know how long I will be in Cherokee, but here is where I will be writing and teaching my virtual yoga classes. So join me! We continue on.

We begin the New Year with Mercury sextile Neptune. Now I always find this to be a super-interesting aspect, which is probably why being a 'magician' in my early years fascinated me so much. If you have read my bio, I was once a professional clown and owned a children's entertainment company. I don't have Mercury sextile Neptune, but this aspect fascinates me enough to act as though I have it. The reason for all this fascination is because these two (2) planets that are normally giving each other a hard time, are actually making peace. What a way to begin the NEW YEAR! Holy Macaroni!

Mercury naturally rules Virgo and Gemini, while Neptune naturally rules Pisces. Virgo and Pisces naturally oppose each other, meaning they are in a natural opposition as they are opposite signs, which in turn means Mercury and Neptune naturally oppose each other. See the rub? THEN, Gemini and Pisces naturally square each other, which is like having an elbow in your side or bumping your leg on the corner of the table. Damn that smarts! Gemini and Virgo (both) rule the conscious and reasoning mind because they are ruled by Mercury, while Pisces rules the unconscious and imaginative mind. See the rub?

Now these two (2) planets come together, they join hands, they join forces and play. They will probably even sing, 'Kumbya'. This is such a wonderful aspect that creates an insightful and imaginative way of thinking. It is a creative aspect that helps you 'think outside of the box'. Instead of bumping your thigh or stubbing your toe on the box, you end up using the box to your advantage. This is a great day to day-dream and set your sights on something pretty dang cool because you can bring your dreams into physical manifestation. Dagnabbit, I just Love this aspect. Mental telepathy is also cranked-up a level or two.

There is likely a new or re-newed interest in magic, illusion, sleight of hand and misdirection (a type of illusion) as in the movie, "Swordfish". Misdirection is a form of deception where the attention of the audience is focused on one thing in order to distract their attention from something else. You have no idea how much I LOVE THIS ASPECT! The trick is to manage the audience's attention, as is the goal in all of theater. Gaining and holding the audience's attention is the most important requirement of theatrical magic (illusion). I remember as a magician/clown being able to slide off someone's watch during a performance and later pulling it from someone else. So fun! But seriously, out in the real-world, misdirection is everything. And don't think the political theater during this time is not on to this energy and that being all-sides.

Mercury sextile Neptune does not accept ideas at face value and will check every matter out in fine detail due to its insatiable curiosity. The individual with this aspect Loves and enjoys their own thoughts because Neptune is the higher octave of Venus, the planet of Love, while Mercury rules thoughts and communication.

Enjoy the beginning of your New Year and playing with this fun aspect.
