Mercury conjunct Uranus

Mercury is the planet of logical communication, getting the facts, learning information and asking questions.  Uranus is about genius types of thinking, sudden bolts and flashes of inspired ideas and receiving messages from the gods, the ethers, outer space and sources beyond our logical and practical human mind. 

The combination of these two planets can be truly inspired.  Use this energy to make a new beginning in educating yourself about alternative ways to communicate through advanced uses of  technology in order to apply it to daily life.  The internet and technology is a vast reservoir of knowledge and these two planets suggest it's time to birth new thoughts, ideas, teaching, learning and communication that goes beyond the normal, mundane and everyday basic routine.  It's a wonderful time to launch a project and to be inspired in how you get the message across whether you're a teacher, educator, writer, healer mentor, student, or disciple. 

The world is experiencing a technological revolution and those that will ultimately succeed are discovering new ways to think outside the box by taking risks towards embracing the new, innovative, progressive and unconventional.  This energy is the launching point towards future enlightenment, break throughs, break outs and awakenings.  Go against tradition and break the rules and you're bound to discover a new form of independent thinking that will make you stand out from the crowd or, at the very least, keep apace with the rapidly evolving and ever changing society.  We are in the midst of being transported to an alien world and must take risks so the new and unusual will eventually become part of our daily routine.  We are not there yet, but this energy helps to access it.  It's about clearing the way for new concepts to use your talent and plan for future earning potential.  Old structures, resources and values are altering to something original and unique.  

On a practical level the next few days may feel as if we're on mental overload and it's important not to talk, speak, move or act too quickly.  It's imperative to filter information and have ways to organize thoughts so they don't electrocute or short circuit the brain waves.  Be careful when driving, riding a bike or using any type of transportation.  The speediness and excitability of this mental energy can make you careless and cause accidents because you're not paying attention.  Update your communication systems in the office and at home.  

In addition, Pallas enters Aquarius further emphasizing the Aquarian themes addressed above.  Her sword cuts both ways and can adhere stubbornly to the rule of law or  inaugurate the emergence of a new, more viable principle.  She's a warrior Goddess and her first line of battle is using the mind to strategize, plan and forge a peace treaty through diplomacy.  She fights for group consciousness in Aquarius and has a mind like a steel trap.  This is a humanitarian fight and she's here to balance injustice and uphold the democratic principle and if necessary start a revolution for the sake of equality for all.  Observe strong women coming to the forefront in the political and humanitarian world as their voices need to be heard.
