The title of Grandmaster has been posthumously awarded by the creme de la creme of the chess world governing board to Mian Sultan Khan (pronounced Kaaaaaahhhhhnnnnn).
There are six interesting planetary transits taking place today. Mercury will move into Aquarius at 12:10 AM EST. Venus will square Chiron at 6:49 AM EST. The moon in Sagittarius will make a Waning Sextile to the Sun in Aquarius at 6:55 AM EST. The moon will then make a trine to Chiron at 6:58 AM EST. The sun will sextile Chiron at 7:27 AM EST. Finally, Mercury will conjunct Pluto at 7:58 PM EST. Adjust the timing to your local time zone.
“This Waning Sextile includes harmonious aspects to Chiron. This portion of the lunar cycle is an opportunity to transition from past to future with ease - exploration and the bigger picture are keys. There's a growing sense of adventure and idealism. Curious about what lies ahead? Work with that.”
“Chiron suggests that easy integration of the wound is part of this transition - the vulnerability becomes something you approach with optimism while you teach others or learn from a guide. You realize that what hurts does not have to hold you back.”
“But Venus' square to Chiron says there will still be a crisis and it involves a relationship, money or self-esteem. What you want is denied or triggers pain when the rules don't work in your favor. Perhaps you get a sharp sense that you're not loved/not attractive/not worthy as you struggle for status. You don't fit with the old traditions.”
“Remember that every square is a turning point and this one asks you to re-evaluate what you own, value and what makes you happy. The energies of the Waxing Sextile are there to assist - what starts out as pain shifts into healing as you step back and gain perspective. Perhaps it's time to break away from tradition and certain commitments.”
“Mercury into Aquarius delivers a fresh perspective (which can also assist with the above). Detachment allows you to see what was previously obscured. This transit is about logic that's open-minded: nothing is judged or rejected (initially) because everyone and everything deserves a shot (until proven otherwise). At the same time, freedom of speech is stubbornly defended. Mercury in Aquarius is also about scientific breakthroughs and the voice of the collective.”
“Mercury's conjunction to Pluto adds in a profoundly transformative realization. Whether external or internal, a truth from beneath the surface is put into words. The impact will be massive as ripples spread out over the collective and/or into your future. This is the unfiltered, verbal pow that delivers information many may not want to hear but everyone needs to hear.”
“This too is part of the Waning Sextile's transition because Mercury/Pluto offers a crucial message (or maybe an intense messenger). What you hear or see will propel you onwards.”
How one city brought the rising number of car thefts down. Turns out it was by actually addressing the root of the problem. Why hasn't anyone thought about this before? (The last sentence is total sarcasm on my part)
