Sun Void of Course: Slippery when Airy

Today, Monday, the Sun is in the last degree of Gemini. As I write, it's about 18 arc minutes, meaning it has approximately 19 hours before reaching an exact square (90 degree angle) to the Tropic of Cancer and thus entering the astrological sign Cancer. This is why we call our horoscope the "tropical horoscope -- it's based on the position of the Sun as it makes aspects to the tropics and the equater.

When the Sun is the latest planet out and the the next to change signs, it's called "void of course." Many have heard of the void of course Moon; this is the same basic idea. I find these are mysterious days, when anything can happen, or when anything can happen and it doesn't quite matter. This happens 12 times a year, usually for a day or so,

I suggest taking slow moves today, and whenever possible waiting for the Sun to arrive in Cancer before initating anything new. It is an appropriate time to resolve matters, particularly those that are in some kind of deadlock, as the combination of the Sun changing signs and the Full Moon the next day should do well to break up the congestion.

I won't say too much more, only ask for your experiences today and note if they are a bit unusual, or in particular, the ways they're unusual. Sun void of course has often felt to me like a mysterious cosmic door opens up, and we get a view of what is possible, a taste of the impossible, or a chance to be really different. Give it a feel.

Till tomorrow,
