The regions around Japan Indonesia, to the Philippines is indicated for its most likely manifestation, although, many people throughout the world will personally feel the effects of this configuration.

Tuesday is a turning point day. There's a First Quarter Moon in Virgo, Uranus makes its yearly retrograde station at 11:11 am edt, while the Sun trines Neptune.

There are major discoveries to be made and being in fine tune with the cosmos and your intuition can open your mind to new trends and possibilities. Working with the group can take some restructuring and if you socialize today, you may rather be with people you can just drift with instead of being with those who want to spar, compete, or make demands.

There can be times this week you may be feeling too relaxed to be ON and UP all the time, and you'll be looking to form associations with people who share your vision, value your interesting perceptions, and are inspired by your uniqueness.

The Moon in diplomatic Libra Thursday and Friday can balance you out and help you to find peaceful and positive outcomes to any potential problems. Aggression, competitive behavior, and energy csars may be able to discover mutually beneficial solutions that keep the lights on and the economy flowing.

The Gemini-Virgo square this week could find you ravenous for knowledge. Don't waste all your time collecting scattered facts, go for the gusto --- knowledge with a purpose.

During this First Quarter Moon, the Sun and Moon are in the Mercury-ruled signs; the Sun in Gemini and the Moon in Virgo. Mercury is approaching the last degree of Gemini-- HOWEVER, it is also stationing (hardly moving) and will become Retrograde next Monday morning. This makes Mercury's message loud and clear-- getting informed can make all the difference. Collecting facts and information can bring your fabulous and inventive ideas down to earth. If something seems clear now, write it down, even if it will take time and planning to make it real and profitable.

As Mercury approaches Retrograde, it is conjunct Jupiter and trine Uranus. These aspects will remain in effect for weeks instead of days, and this is where you can see the difference retrograde makes; the aspects are in effect longer, and if you ignore their influence at first, you won't by the time it's over. The aspects that Mercury makes now can promote your ability to sell yourself, market your ideas, and expand your business.
