Though the work day on both coasts is free of exact planetary aspects, intensity is building to the Full Moon at 23 degrees of Capricorn, exact Friday at 2:40AM. A need to make it happen (Capricorn), using the energy of that which makes us secure (Cancer). I should have thought about that when wondering if the markets would slip a bit on yesterday’s potentially chilly challenge between controlling, fearful Saturn and Venus, which relates to money. What happened? Gold hit an all-time high. Conventional wisdom holds that when people are averse to taking risks (because they’re not feeling secure), they put their money in gold. Fascinating.

The Full Moon holds potential for more weird weather: sudden storms, winds and water. The advisory is in effect a few days before and after. Keep your grounding cords down and your noses to the grindstone. Carry an umbrella and watch out for the crazies on the roads.
