The BIG NEWS today is three (3) major aspects and four (4) lunar aspects. See the aspect list above. This is the 1st busiest planetary aspect day this month with the 2nd busiest planetary load-up on Tuesday, November 30, 2021. Unpacking today's collection of Mercury, Mars and Saturn intertwined deserves some patience and gentle pondering.

Notice from the aspect memes below how one planetary arrangement weaves into the other. It's a triangulation of energies that presents itself as detailed (Mercury), serious (Saturn) and somewhat aggressive (Mars). The mind is definitely at work, while at the same time finding itself (the mind) caught between a rock and a hard place.

Mercury conjunct Mars is the perfect aspect for searching out the Truth. If you are looking for something lost or hidden, or if you are looking for a solution or an idea, this is the aspect to use. If you are looking for a physical object, make certain that you scan the surrounding plane before you physically move anything. It is in moving things around that you could cover up what you are searching for by accident. Sit or stand, then look around by taking it all in, then start picking the pile apart straw-by-straw. If this is not a physical 'thing', then take the same approach, and pick 'it' apart little by little. This will save time, energy and a retracing of steps. Use precision and a step-by-step approach.

The biggest problem with today is Mercury square Saturn, which can be incredibly self-limiting. No one is limiting you more than you are limiting yourself. It can be excruciating for others if you are tied-up with this aspect because maybe your limited view impacts their outcome or what they do.

Check-in with yourself to make certain you are not using this aspect as a control issue or as a weapon. You can tell if this is 'you' and not the other person by your initial response and if there is no contemplation or consideration for something else. This aspect does have negativity and/or pessimism attached to it, which is the Saturn part of the aspect; therefore, your initial response might be "no" before you thought things through.

You may respond with quick "no" without any explanation, reasoning, consideration or thought. Look closely at your responses to make certain you are not acting out of fear or lack of experience. OUCHY! That might be a blow to the ego, but it's important to check-in with yourself, especially if you consider yourself an enLightened or self-actualized individual.

What's the problem in considering the alternative before giving an answer? Do you just not want to take someone else's lead, advice, idea or suggestion? Keep reading . . .

Order Your Solar Return! It's your birthday chart! When the Sun 'returns' to the exact sign and degree when you were born

The third aspect occurring today is Mars squaring Saturn. Now that you have done your research and looked high and low, and now that you have opened yourself up to suggestion or fresh ideas, you may find yourself stuck between a rock and a hard place unable to make up your mind.

This collection of aspect energies can leave you feeling like you don't know what to do. Maybe you are feeling like you don't know which direction to turn or where to put your own energy. It can be maddening when the mind (Mercury) is being challenged. You may feel pressured, but unable to decide. While maybe you choose not to make a decision, that's okay, as long as you are researching, seeking and considering.

If you consider alternatives and/or other ideas and suggestions, at least you will be ahead of where you were without having had those thoughts previously. Personally, I find choices to be AWESOME! I am a creature who is ALWAYS looking for choices. I want options! Even if my choice to re-paint the ceiling is still white, I want to see the various shades of white. That's just how I am. At the same time too many choices can confuse the mind.

Back in the day I use to make aromatherapy bath salts and sell them on this website. At one time I had 40 different bath salts to choose from, which in turn became an issue for those who went to the page to purchase the bath salts because there were too many choices. I found the pages getting a lot of hits, but no one was buying. It dawned on me that I had too many bath salts to choose from and after reading about so many of them, the interested customers would invariably leave the page because it took too long to decide. Once I scaled down from 40 bath salts to 7 bath salts, they began to sell.

If during the 'orb of influence' of these aspects you find yourself stuck, spinning, unable to decide or move in a direction, then maybe you should open up your choices and then dial them down through a process of elimination. Make certain you are well-aware of what you are dealing with and when the window of opportunity closes.

I ALWAYS like to keep all options on the table and in play until I have to make a choice. And this is how you remain open. If you don't have to make a choice, then don't. Stay open, 'cause why not?

On another note, emotionally speaking, the Aquarian Moon is squaring three (3) planets and conjunct another. Aquarius is a fixed sign and with so many planets in Scorpio, the energy today will be very tough to move. It is F....IXED! I mean it does not want to budge. THIS IS THE WAY IT'S ALWAYS BEEN DONE! LOL

It's already enough that the three (3) major aspects have a wide 'orb of influence' surrounding them catching a bunch of birth dates during their reign. Not to mention the four (4) lunar aspects that are so fixed. Overall, it's a tough day.

If your birth date is today, yesterday or tomorrow, there is a very Good chance that your 2021 Solar Return lands today. And even if your 2021 Solar Return does not land today, the three (3) major aspects that are listed above and as you see in the Astro Memes will still be part of your 2021 Solar Return.

If you have a birthday coming up within the next three (3) months, now is the time to order your Solar Return. We begin feeling our next Solar Return right at about the three (3) month mark because the planets are coming into the 'orb of influence' of the birth date. Just like when one of the above aspects enter at the applying degrees or leave on the separating degrees, all of those birth dates feel it. This is why the Solar Return is so handy so early before the birth date. You want to be ready. I'm opening the links in the Holistic Shop for the Expansive Natal Chart and Solar Return for a few days.
