Daily aspects
extile Uranus (Pisces) This aspect between Mercury and Uranus makes you progressive, energetic, unconventional, and creative. You have intuition, a talent for speech, originality, and are flexible with changes. You're quick in thought, and have an affinity for technology, physics, and mathematics. You go your own way and reject traditional views. You'll have great ideas that can materialize in monetary value. You'll meet very interesting people through friends during this period.
When Mercury is in Sagittarius, we can express ourselves faster and more accurately. There may be a greater interest in philosophical and religious matters. We strive for freedom, and we show this fact in how we formulate our thoughts. The ideal is now more important to us than experience.
Your emotional life is active during this time but could be one-sided. You experience the awakening of your feelings. You might feel the desire to experience adventures, extreme actions, traveling, and discovering new places. It is an excellent time for discarding items you no longer need or use at home. You may desire a beauty makeover!
