THE MERCURY MINUTE
The Moon rules the emotions and tone of the day. For this reason, your awareness of
its location can give you a better understanding of influences at play. The Planets signify
the mythological opportunities for each day.
(All times PST)
I use 00 degrees of the Sun Sign that the Sun is in on any given day.
Monday, February 22: The Moon is in Gemini all day. A new romance is
possible and communication is the key for the connection. Consider love as
the path for self realization and as you find love you discover yourself. The
idea of being born is to discover love and to awaken to a peaceful knowing
that you don’t know!
Be present with your immediate surrounding no matter where you are and
where you are is where love begins. God is not dead, she doesn’t need to
exist to justify your so called holy wars. What’s holy about killing?
When you come to the point in your life that you attain absolute peace of
mind then you live life as if you were an expression of nature itself. And
then you and sister rock can have a meaningful silent conversation. Love is
the key to understanding and enlightenment.
"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before
starting to improve the world." -- Anne Frank

Tuesday, February 23: The Moon is in Gemini as the day begins a n d
the moon enters Cancer at 3:29 p.m. PST The Sun in Pisces is
sextile to Pluto in Capricorn at 8:31 a.m. Use the energy of the day f o r
cleaning up any area in your life that needs order. Eliminate any chaos that is
present. Your home is a great refuge for finding that sense of peace and
harmony.
Silence is another word for a language that is not understood or s p o k e n .
When you listen to nothing then you can discover, that undiscovered
universe that resides within. Listen to your intuition for your path of l e a s t
resistance. For your external is a whisper for the ocean that resides within
you.
Consider Zen as the spirit of all that is and all that has been and all that
will be. Zen awakens the inner purity and kindness as an expression of the
whole. Everything comes from within you!
“To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.” Lao Tzu

Wednesday, February 24: The Moon is in Cancer all day. The
conversation today between the Moon and Jupiter, delivers a sense of hope,
joy and true confidence. I am reminded of a conversation I once had with
with Kurt Vonnegut years ago. We had a very amazing dialogue about how
everyone in the world was functionally insane. We explored the idea of
being intelligent and living in this world is not easy. Yet, we recognized,
that life is exactly the way it has to be, for the world to be as it is. Letting go
is how you become aware of what is present!
I often write about intelligence, and I realize that when I refer to
concentration, I mean that is is an example of awareness. Awareness is
another form of intelligence that has nothing to do with cultural education.
Meditation is another word for concentration. Prayer is another word for
Meditation. To pay attention, is the key to unlocking your spirit, which
speaks the language of awareness.
The secret to success in any human endeavor is total concentration. Kurt

Thursday, February 25: The Moon is in Cancer as the day begins and
later in the day the moon enters Leo at 5:08 p.m. PST Today, there is a
sense of excitement and creativity in the air. Any sense of timidness that
one can associate with the moon placement in Cancer is curtailed by the
planet Uranus. And with the moon entering Leo, you can count on a fun
evening after a long work day. Awareness is an active form of inaction,
which leads to action. Observation is the window for the sign of infinite to
show you what is not and what is and everything in between. You are that
pain in the window of the unknown. Suffering is the corner stone to
enlightenment and light is the energy that allow darkness to be a kindred
spirit. You don’t need a reason to be happy and joyful. Practice being happy
and do what makes you happy and then guess what? You become happy!
“True progress comes not through action, but through awakening. ~

Friday, February 26: The Moon is in Leo all day. Give yourself some of
yourself! Be a door for the widow for your own inner-space. The sooner you
understand that energy doesn’t die, then you can awaken to the knowing that
death is another word that teaches you that fear doesn’t exist. When you are
living in a state of meditation then you are one step closer to truth as the
only from of love and love is another word for energy.
The fun aspect concerning the mind is, that it is designed to keep us from
knowing by way of thinking that thinking is a way of knowing. Words,
words, words and more words lead to silence. Words are names for silence,
but no one knows how not to listen.
Don’t let your ego get out of hand today or you may regret the
consequences. Truth and love are the yin and yang of the same side of the
source that has no name.
“Truth is One, but the sages speak of it by many names.” ~ The Rig Veda

Saturday, February 27: The Moon is in Leo as the day begins and later
in the day the moon enters Virgo at 4:52 p.m. PST Mercury in Aquarius
is conjunct to Neptune at 6:03 a.m. Mercury is conjunct to to Chiron at
11:01 a.m. The ancient mystic’s understood that the name that cannot be
spoken is the source of all that is and all that has been and that is the way it
is... There is know up and there is know down and there is know in and there
is know out. You are right where you are, because there is know-where else
to Be.
Confusion can be the tenor of the day so make sure you don’t make any
important moves until the weekend comes to a close. You’ll be seeing life
from a clearer point of view as the Full Moon tomorrow brings out the
hidden and reveals confusion in the monthly cosmic light of the reflective
moon.
Nothing can be created out of nothing. ~ Lucretius 50 BCE

Sunday, February 28: FULL MOON IN VIRGO at 8:38 a.m. PST The
Moon is in Leo as the day begins and later in the all day the moon enters
Virgo in the morning for its fullness to fill your cup with light. The Spirit
of the moment or as the Germans would call the Zeitgeist is revealed. This is
a Super Moon that brings mother earth close to sister moon. As the tides
respond to the moon so your physical body is mostly comprised of water and
light in a rare from of biological goo.
Goethe, once said, “ everything is a metaphor and E=MC2 is a good
example of You! Think of it.... we are all traveling at the speed of light and
that is why it all seems so ordinarily stationary. Be loving and kind as a great
expression of energy.
One thing I have learned in a long life, that all our science, measured
against reality, is primitive and childlike, and yet it is the most p r e c i o u s
thing we have. ~ Albert Einstein
