Astrology today: Contemplate and formulate a practical plan

Thursday, March 7, 2013: Today, with the Moon is in Capricorn, your feet are planted firmly on the ground, and easy aspects between a mentally impressionistic Mercury (still Rx in Pisces), "let's get real" Saturn and "do or die" Pluto means that it's once again time to do some serious re-thinking and begin formulating concrete and practical plans that will solve problems and support your long term goals.

The reality of your current situation is clearer now, and you are able to process both thoughts and feelings more realistically, so ask yourself: What, if anything, needs to be re-addressed or processed from three weeks ago?

Tonight, while the Moon is Void of Course in Capricorn, is the perfect time to seriously contemplate everything above.

Note: Overnight tonight (Friday 2:06 EST) the long term sextile aspect between Saturn and Pluto will be exact (for the second time). I mentioned this yesterday and it is still very relevant today and for sometime to come. This aspect gives each of us a very long window of opportunity (from the end of November 2012 until the end of April +) to be absolutely truthful with ourselves and take responsibility for everything we are - the good, the bad and the ugly- and use it to our best advantage. Remember, sextiles are considered highly beneficial, but you must be willing to leave your comfort zone to reap the benefits.

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
