After zipping through Scorpio, Mercury will trade its X-ray vision for a one way ticket to a far off, exotic destination when it arrives in Sagittarius at 2:43 pm EST. Technically Mercury in its detriment in Sagittarius, but how can travel, philosophy, education, and publishing be such a bad place for Mercury?

Maybe it’s because Mercury looses a little bit of its flexibility in Sag and has to be careful not to get too self righteous and opinionated. (I have Mercury in Sagittarius; I speak from experience.) Then again, enjoy the journey. Sagittarius takes the curiosity of Gemini and puts it on a plane or a boat or in a library in search of wisdom, truth, and meaning — just in time for next week’s Saturn/Neptune existential crisis.

Don’t forget about Venus bumping around Pluto and Uranus this weekend. If you’re a Taurus or a Libra especially, you’re going to be feeling these tense evolutionary forces pushing you to make a change. Check out yesterday’s write up.
