By Mark Lerner - If you survived the past 72 hours of tests, trials and tribulations, pin a couple of gold stars to your lapel for meritorious efforts on the astrological front. You may be able to finally reap some well-deserved rewards today as Mars in Gemini trines Chiron in Aquarius (1:07AM PDT), the Moon parallels Jupiter (1:22AM PDT) and also makes a supportive 60-degree link to this largest planet in the solar system (10:09AM PDT). These three alignments may be setting the stage for a great day of accomplishments on your part. Recall that the Moon in Aquarius is also suggesting that you join humanitarian movements and causes that speak to your heart, mind and soul. Think more about fulfilling your higher destiny on Spaceship Earth than 'what's in it for me.' The Mars-Chiron connection is a reminder to rekindle your exercise regime, improve that tennis swing or golf stroke, and consider learning one of the martial arts. However, don't get too big for your britches as Mars also squares Pallas (4:43AM PDT). In your haste to reach milestones and gain success, you can also over-reach or dissipate vital energy by going in too many directions at the same time. Meditate for peace of mind and clarity as the Moon makes its monthly union with Chiron (12:37PM PDT), the Moon trines Mars in air signs (1:12PM PDT), and the Sun forms a contra-parallel to Chiron (2:50PM PDT). Look into the benefits of alternative medicine, herbal remedies and holistic healing. Read some inspiring passages from the masterworks of favorite philosophers, poets and mentors. Share your own insights and words of wisdom with loved ones and friends. Start gearing up for a momentous day on Tuesday August 28 which includes the monthly Full Moon (also a Total Lunar Eclipse) -- plus the annual Mercury-Uranus opposition and another Mars-Jupiter skirmish.
