Thursday, July 23rd, and this is a Thursday. Mercury turns direct today. The day that it turns direct are very unusual days because it's changing directions, and when it changes directions, realize that people change their minds because first they're going one direction, then they're going another. Mercury is stationing, which means there will be some big happenings in the US. Venus is in an unusual aspect with Saturn. It's called the quincunx, and it means that things in the area of love and romance aren't the way they should be. Some things that just need to get ironed out in your relationships. But the Moon being in Scorpio today is debilitated. Now, that is a difficult place from the Moon. This is like a big emotional day, and Things can be coming together, but it is not so easy. And Jupiter is being more and more influenced by the Sun, so it is getting combustion. So it's not as strong as it has been. It's still pretty good though by the fact that it is in Cancer.
