\"Learn<\/a>Have you had any flashes of brilliance in the past week? I sure have. My best idea yet was deciding to bring my disco ball camping, where I then proceeded to make a rope out of duct tape (more brilliance!) and then hung it between two trees. Why? Why not?<\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t planning to disturb the peace with a disco party in the woods. Really, I just thought it would make for some quirky photographs, and also a few laughs. And it did! It pretty much made the whole weekend more fun. See? Genius at work.<\/p>\n

If you missed out on your own shot at brilliance last week, don’t fret. There are two more key dates to watch this summer when you might be hit with a stroke of genius: July 25 and August 18.<\/p>\n

On those days, Mercury (planet of intellect) will trine Uranus (planet of surprises), just as they did last week. This aspect is so stimulating it will lend excitement to whatever you do on those days.<\/p>\n

Of course, the best thing to do those days is break from your normal routine and get outside, travel or just do something new. If you shake up your everyday grind, it’ll be easier to let all those new ideas come to you, plus you’ll have more freedom to put them into action.<\/p>\n
