The BIG NEWS today is the Sun in Aquarius conjuncts Mercury in Aquarius. A conjunction is when two (2) or more planets, the Sun and Mercury in this case, are in the same Sun Sign (Aquarius). If they are within 10 degrees of each other, then they are a conjunction.

This conjunction began in applying degrees on January 13, 2022, it is exact tonight at 11:39 PM EST, and will last in separating degrees until February 2, 2022.

This is basically the aspect of brain overload where you end up with brain-fry due to 'too much information', which causes the brain to scramble and lose thinking power.

At the same time, when this aspect is within less than 30 minutes, it actually powers the brain and it is called 'casimi' or 'cazimi'. It is 'the most' powerful of conjunctions. When a conjunction is wider in degrees, it is weakened. It's like solar planels powering up Mercury. When it is over 30 minutes it's just too damn much heat and circuits begin to fry.

I often remind you of this little piece of intel when this aspect shows up. Several years ago I followed the trial of Jodi Arias, the woman who murdered her boyfriend? She has the Sun Conjunct Mercury with a 03 degree 34 minute orb. I followed this trial every single day on HLN. When Jodi Arias said to Juan Martinez (the prosecuting attorney), "Usually, when men like you are screaming at me or grilling me, it makes my brain scramble." I yelled back to her, "That's because you have the Sun conjunct Mercury in your birth date!!!" And she used that exact word, "scramble," which I have always used to describe this aspect. It is clearly the best word to describe this particular aspect. Think of a computer scrambling lights and sounds as it figures and computes. That's exactly what this is like. [Keep reading . . . ]

Having said that, I would not make any BIG decisions until after February 2, 2022 when this aspect ends and pulls away from each other giving the brain a rest. Mercury will actually turn 'Direct' on February 3, 2022 so you may as well wait until after that to make a decision. And if you can wait two (2) weeks after that so Mercury gets back up to its normal speed, that would be primo.

So right now, everyone is on brain overload and one (1) more thought can prove to be too much where you feel unable to process one more thing. Give your brain a rest.

This energy can make you crabby if you have too much stuff laying around because again, it can contribute to brain overload where you are thinking about all of the stuff you have to do. It's just too much. The best way to handle this aspect is begin clearing space and picking up so that the space in your head is clear.

We also have two (2) interesting lunar aspects overlapping each other in their 'orb of influence'. The first aspect can make female (estrogen) energies collide where friends, mothers and daughters or strangers are turning into 'cranky pants'. This can create a confidence issue, so make certain you are well aware of the words you choose when you temperature is rising.

The second lunar aspect is wonderful for male and female energies or testosterone and estrogen. It's a perfect yin/yang energy where couples are acting like grown-ups. There is confidence, comfort and security.

So if there is an energy today (someone) who clearly rubs you the wrong way, then keep your distance. There is no need to show up and feel like you need to set someone straight under such strained energy. It's estrogen energy folks, so it's likely females going at it. The evening will feel much better once the Moon and Venus separate and Saturn comes into to put his foot down.
