mercury on high and the moon in my sights...

so, when i cast my lunar return for the current monthly cycle, i noticed that mercury is conjunct the MC and the moon is conjunct the AC. immediately, i thought, "oh, i must somehow be in the limelight for something- could be big, could be small, but i will be noticed this month."

well, wouldn't you know i was a lucky winner of a free year of healthcare at my job. i had attended a free health risk assessment back in march and the incentive was to enter into a chance to win free healthcare for a year. the human resources department told me that my name will be announced on their website, and in several internal newsletters and publications in the coming week.

new moon in taurus and my mars return

yay! new moon in my 12th house and mars return within 1 day of each other. i couldn't friggin sleep last night! i kept dreaming about a web link that wouldn't go away and forced me to analyze its origins, in turn making me THINK while i was sleeping. i was conscious most of the night because i was mentally processing an imaginary web link. unreal!

i AM going to the gym after work today (well, i really, really, really, plan to go). i even bought a new pair of sneakers as an incentive, which i left home today because i was in a hurry but luckily i have a set of gym attire in my desk at work. (12th house undoing FOILED by previous good intentions!) oh and remember my dreams of studying drama? well, i met with the head of the theater arts program and she recommended a night class in acting that she teaches- now i just have to get accepted...


notable aspects of my mars return include:

1) mars in 3rd house:

• conjunct angle (IC- 3 degree orb)
• square moon (2 degree orb)

2) mars-ruled 12th house

• 12th house inhabited by 3 planets (venus- chart ruler, moon, sun) and part of fortune
  

3) mercury in angular (1st) house

• square saturn (1 degree orb)
  

4) neptune/n.node/chiron conjunction in angular (10th) house

5) venus (chart ruler) conjunct part of fortune in 12th house

• trine saturn (3 degree orb)
• trine pluto (4 degree orb)
  

6) natal uranus conjunct return angle (DC- 3 degrees)

i've got some life plans cooking but not finalized so we'll see how this mars return reflects my actions over the next two years. i'll have to remember to revisit this each time there is a major transit or aspect.
