MERCURY SQUARES JUPITER:
On Friday March 15th at 7:17 P.M. EDT this active square begins a few days of Mercurial energy during which we can get much done and catch up on things. Because of the retrograde motion of Mercury we are experiencing several quick moving transits that we saw last month once again. On Friday February 22nd we had this square. It will return for a last pass April 12th.
This is a very active transit that will stimulate the mind. Expect to be busy with communications and errands. This is primarily a positive aspect when people will be extremely sociable and outgoing. Jupiter squares are quite unlike any other. They are exciting and growth oriented, and can shake us free from our doldrums. But they do come with a warning. The main concern is that Jupiter has no sense of boundaries or limitations and under its influence we can often take on too much. You may be so inundated with input today that it’s difficult to catch up. This can make us nervous and at times do a shoddy job. Mercury is all about details and getting things right. Jupiter is interested in the big picture and often misses the little things. This combination can result in errors and miscommunication. It’s the type of aspect under which you may send an email to the wrong person and pay the price. I’ve always felt that there should be a breathalyzer attached to the “send button” on computers. Microsoft has ignored my letters so far. Oh well. If you use this square properly and keep things in perspective you should be able to do much and open conversations that are necessary and can expand your relationships. It’s a good day for a trip as long as you pay attention. When traveling you should use some caution and double check your plans. If you are driving, you must pay attention to your immediate environment. Mistakes and accidents are possible as a result of distraction. A little caution will prevent any mishaps.
