A deep fuchsia-coloured hellebore flower with a starry white and yellow center makes a 3/4 turn toward the viewer's left, with blurred hellebores and buds in the background turned away from the viewer. A bright purple light splashes across the green leaves in the lower right corner, with purple shadows and highlights among the flowers.

The Astrological Weather

Mercury in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius at 0:27am PDT. Control issues surge to the forefront of our minds under this influence. We may have a heightened awareness of our own willpower and can speak with force and passion. But we may also be preoccupied with all of the ways in which we feel out of control, whether in our personal lives or in relation to the larger society.

Abuses of power are harder to conceal now, as this transit encourages deep investigation and the willingness to expose what we find. This transit is excellent for doing research and therapeutic work, and can help us get to the bottom of mysteries that previously confounded us.
