Will your morning be greeted with a little jolt, surprise or other disruption of the status quo. Moon in people-pleasing Libra, challenged by rebel Uranus at 8:58AM ET would suggest that potential…followed by a power play, an emotional confrontation or catharsis or news from underground as Moon is challenged by ruthless Pluto at 1:27PM ET. In your own personal world, these patterns offer a dynamic, proactive energy for you to use in your quest for fairness, justice and the ideal as (possibly) expressed in relationship, which can be especially rewarding today.

Speaking of ideals, idealism is running higher than usual, as reflected in a sextile between Mercury (mindset) and Venus (social expression, art, love, beauty, money, women). So much of everything can seem so beautiful right now…

Follow up story: “The Scream” by Edvard Munch, did set records yesterday, selling to someone for a staggering 119.9 million dollars http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/03/arts/design/the-scream-sells-for-nearly-120-million-at-sothebys-auction.html?_r=1&hp  More of the wretched excess suggested by expansive Jupiter, running wild in the sensual, material world of Taurus? Yes…and there would have to be something in Edvard Munch’s horoscope to reflect this cycle of prominence in the headlines. Even though Munch is no longer among us, I’d argue his horoscope continues to respond to planetary patterns.

Munch was born on December 12, 1863 in Loten, Norway — birth time unknown, but through a technique known as rectification, an astrologer can determine a birth time, by lining up patterns in a horoscope with the timing of life events. If I were to take the time to test Munch’s horoscope, instinct tells me that the square between Pluto and Uranus would likely be active right now — the horoscope would be hot! When I have time, I may explore this horoscope further….gotta fly right now!
