As anyone waiting for that boy/girl to text knows, updates can be just as important as dates. In Cosmic Numbers, Morgan Rehbock, the guru behind our monthly Astrology IRL column, divines the stars to bring you in-the-moment advice on important dates.
Uranus squares Pluto, Mercury enters Capricorn
In astrological terms a “square” aspect, or 90-degree angle between two planets, creates tension and calls for action. Besides the vast socio-political implications, I bet you’re wondering what this means for each sign on the individual, material plane? The Uranus/Pluto square has caused stress, drastic changes, possibly hair-loss, weight loss, lost sleep, and definitely personal transformation. With this kind of powerful aspect, we have to expect the unexpected, but also to expect things to get better than they were. Keep Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)" on repeat and you’ll come out of this week on a much higher plane.
