Astrology June 10, 2023: Last Quarter Moon in Pisces

“I thank God for my failures. Maybe not at the time but after some reflection. I never feel like a failure just because something I tried failed.” – Dolly Parton

This second Saturday in June we are gifted with a Last Quarter Moon in contemplative Pisces (3:31 pm), which means that Luna is halfway between the last Full Moon and upcoming New Moon. The LQM is perceived to be an optimum time to retrieve the trusty scorecard, from out of our back packet, and evaluate our most recent spate of hits or misses, with an eye to moving on from what is deemed no longer achievable or practical. Likewise, this lunar phase is also regarded as an ideal period for looking ahead and crafting our intentions or goals for the next New Moon (which will be occurring in Gemini on June 18th).

Meanwhile, Luna in Pisces also suggests leaning more into our intuition now, or cranking up the volume on what our inner voice may be saying to us.

“Intuition is like reading a word without having to spell it out. A child can’t do that because it has had so little experience. A grown-up person knows the word because they’ve seen it often before.” – Agatha Christie

On This Day in History: On June 10, 1935, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) was founded in Akron, Ohio by Bill Wilson and Robert Smith (known as Dr. Bob).  The organization was created to help people struggling with alcoholism and to provide them a safe space to share their experiences and support each other.

Astrologically, that day, Saturn, often billed as “the taskmaster,” which ideally teaches us self-reliance and self-discipline, was in compassionate Pisces and applying (one-degree) to an exact opposition to Neptune in health-oriented Virgo; Neptune also rules drugs, alcohol, and addiction issues. Oppositions tend to deliver results or may bring matters to a climax or culmination. Also, on that date, communicator Mercury was in sympathetic Cancer and exactly sextile to innovative, group-oriented Uranus in grounded Taurus, an aspect which can help to foster new insights or facilitate new approaches.

“We are not cured of alcoholism. What we have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition. Every day is a day when we must carry the vision of God’s will into all of our daily activities.” – Bill Wilson

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology June 2, 2023: Venus Trines Neptune

Cosmic Weather:

“If I had a flower for every time I thought of you…I could walk through my garden forever.” – Alfred Tennyson

We greet this first Friday in June with love goddess Venus, in nurturing Cancer, trining transcendental Neptune in unifying Pisces (6:42 pm). Perhaps making a heavenly case for resting our haloed heads upon the shimmering, pillowy clouds, for a spell, possibly as a gentle respite from the harsher realities or constraints of the regular 9 to 5 world. This dreamier influence ideally bestows upon us greater sensitivity, compassion, and creativity. There can be a palpable yearning now for a more divine or unconditional love as we seek to look for the best in others.

Interestingly, on June 1, 1967, when the Beatles’ Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Album was released in the U.S., Venus was also in Cancer and trining Neptune in transformational Scorpio at the time. The widely recognized, surrealistically-styled (Neptunian) cover of the album depicts several dozen celebrities (including Marilyn Monroe, Carl Jung, Aleister Crowley, Bob Dylan) and other images. The image was made by posing the Beatles in front of life-sized, black-and-white photographs pasted onto hardboard and hand-tinted.

The Sgt Peppers’ cover image was created by Jann Haworth and Peter Blake, who in 1967, won the Grammy Award for Best Album Cover, Graphic Arts, for their work on it. Blake has said that the intention was to show the band surrounded by fans after a performance. (Wikipedia)

Cosmic Weather:

I love the challenge of starting at zero every day and seeing how much I can accomplish.” – Martha Stewart

This Tuesday morning, we step out of the gate with motivator Mars, in showy Leo, squaring everyone’s favorite optimist-junkie Jupiter – who is now officially headquartered in got-to-have Taurus. (1:13 am). Wanting to make a big splash in the world and spearheading things that generate seismic ripple effects, may simply be something too irresistible to pass up now. Especially if our lofty egos are involved! Too, while we may be able to pull off some whale-sized accomplishments, at the moment – particularly if we avail ourselves of opportunities that may suddenly appear before us – knowing when to dial it back a bit, may also prove to be a gallant strategy in the long run. Remember, Saturn’s rings are there for a reason!

Overall, though, this can be a fun and exciting day. Good for embarking on new adventures.

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, Wow! What a Ride!” – Hunter S. Thompson

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On May 23, 1900, the Associated Press News Service (AP) began in New York. Astrologically, at the time, the empowering Sun had just entered the news and information sign of Gemini (the day before). Expansive Jupiter and innovative Uranus were also conjunct in truth-seeking Sagittarius, a sign in which we aspire to stretch our world views as well as supply greater meaning and understanding to what Gemini has gathered.

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Cosmic Weather:

“Never underestimate the power you have to take your life in a new direction.” – Germany Kent

We start our Monday morning off with the empowering Sun, in multi-faceted Gemini, forming a waning sextile to action-planet Mars in commanding Leo (1:57 am). This perceived opportunity aspect may help to put a bit of swagger in our step. It also potentially bodes well for creative endeavors, fostering new approaches, gathering information. Our curiosity could lead us down a myriad of paths now. Breakthroughs are also possible.

In numerology, the 22nd day of the month is also regarded as the Master Builder number. It is associated with organizational ability, productivity, and leadership. Some also view this number as a potent facilitator to more readily allow us to tap into our Soul’s purpose or wisdom.

“As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.” – Carl Jung

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On May 22, 1992, Comedian and late-night TV host Johnny Carson signs off for the last time after hosting “The Tonight Show” for 30 years. His final show featured no guests, focusing instead on clips and remembrances from Carson, sidekick Ed McMahon, and bandleader Doc Severinsen. (Jay Leno would become the new host of the show.)

Astrologically, that night, Luna was in broadcast-ruling, eclectic Aquarius and applying to a conjunction with more serious-minded Saturn; Saturn is linked with partings or endings. Communicator Mercury – the planet which also governs talk show hosts – was in grounded, reliable Taurus and just separating from an opposition to transformational Pluto in Scorpio. This more intense energy also maybe lending some extra poignancy, depth, or disclosure to the conversation on the final show that night.

Asked how he became a star, Mr. Carson once replied:

“I started in a gaseous state and then I cooled.” 🙂

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology March 24, 2023: Mars at Anaretic 29 Degree Mark

Cosmic Weather:

“It is easier to resist at the beginning than at the end.” – Leonardo da Vinci

This Friday, Mars spends its last full day in ambidextrous Gemini after buzzing around in the sign since August 20th. Accordingly, it’s possible that we may be feeling a sense of urgency to take some last-minute action. Kind of like when we are leaving the house, and walking out the door, when all of a sudden, we wonder if we maybe left the stove on or forgot to turn off the lights – so we frantically go back inside to take one final look around.

Too, on the flip side, sometimes when a planet reaches the end of the road (or a sign), it just wants to chill out a bit or relax – or reflect upon where it’s been. Mars has been holed up in busy, cerebral Gemini since August 20 due to its retrograde period; normally, it moves a half a degree a day or spends just two months in a sign.

Mars enters homebody Cancer, tomorrow morning (7:45 am), where it will reside until May 20th. Since Mars is the energy or momentum planet, it’s possible that we could also see a boost in spring homes sales or in other kinds of home-related activities during this time.

Assertive Mars is said to be “in its fall” in Cancer as it tends to go more inward, becomes more protective and nurturing and honed-in on what is going on in its immediate surroundings with family or loved ones. There can also be a lot of stops and starts with things depending on our mood.

The Waxing Moon is also in steady Eddie Taurus, all day, so we may be more interested in doing what we can to stabilize our personal situations, particularly on a financial level. At the same time, Luna’s late-day conjunction with Uranus (7:52 pm) might find us interested in exploring new possibilities or pastimes.

Astrology March 23, 2023: Pluto Enters Aquarius

Cosmic Weather:

“When she transformed into a butterfly, the caterpillars spoke not of her beauty, but of her weirdness. They wanted her to change back into what she always had been. But she had wings.” – Dean Jackson

All astrological eyes are zeroing in on dwarf planet Pluto today as it moves into change-oriented Aquarius (8:13 am), where it will take up temporary residency for the next three months before exiting back into Capricorn in June. Due to retrogrades, Pluto will not re-enter Aquarius, long-term, until late November of 2024 – at which time it will set up shop there for approximately the next 20 years.

Pluto is associated with endings or purging, the subconscious, spying or surveillance, as well as issues of power or control. It is also linked with rebirth or renewal, including potentially helping to deepen our awareness and foster our awakening.

Often our responses to Pluto’s transformational ray tend to be more intense or single-minded. Of course, how this more highly engaging orientation will ultimately play out in airy, intellectual Aquarius – the sign also associated with innovation and AI – is anyone’s guess. But it could be that, among other things, our involvement with the tech world is about to become much more complex or complicated in the coming years, including, perhaps, with a much keener focus on the entities that may be in charge of or wielding control/or regulating the ever-evolving digital landscape.

Just today, as investigative Pluto entered Aquarius, the CEO of TikTok faced intense grilling and scrutiny on Capitol Hill from both sides about the social media platform and whether it could be posing a national security threat to the US, or to user privacy, and whether its popular app should possibly be banned.

Ever since ChatGPT debuted, in late November, there has been a firestorm of stories in the media about how artificial intelligence is going to be dramatically revamping (Pluto) our daily lives, in a multitude of ways, particularly in the workplace.

Today in the WSJ on the front page, there is a story about how many workers are already widely embracing Chat GPT despite their bosses’ fears. In the article, some employees surveyed said that they feel the program makes them more productive, but many leaders have purportedly some misgivings about what corporate intelligence workers might be sharing.

The other day, I heard someone say – presumably tongue-in-cheek – that as long as they can come up with a robot to clean the toilets, she doesn’t care about all the rest. Which immediately reminded me of the importance that humor can sometimes play in helping to keep our lives more manageable so hopefully that we don’t go off the deep end and lose our perspective or sense of empowerment by conjuring up a bunch of scary scenarios (such as the robots have finally taken over!) that may or may not ever fully come to pass. At least for now. 🙂

*All times EDT.

Born On This Day: Erich Fromm, German psychologist and psychoanalyst (Sane Society). Fromm was born in Frankfurt Germany in 1900 (d. 1980).

Love isn’t something natural. Rather it requires discip*line, concentration, patience, faith, and the overcoming of narcissism. It isn’t a feeling, it is a practice.” – Eric Fromm, The Art of Loving

Astrology March 22, 2023: Moon Conjuncts Jupiter in Aries

Tags

, , ,

Cosmic Weather:

“It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through.” – Zig Ziglar

This Wednesday – with Luna remaining in trailblazing, initiating Aries all day – and also fresh off the heels of the gangbuster Aries New Moon yesterday, the hustle and bustle in the heavens continues head on today – suggesting the same for our humble earthling lives.

Of course, it may also possibly help out our personal cause now a bit – in terms of achieving any long-term success – if we have at least some clear idea, notion, or vision of where we want to go and what we intend to do once we get there; though, on the flip side, some behavioral researchers are also saying now that – in some instances – just taking action in a new direction, without prior prepping or planning, might also end up being a winning strategy for us as well, as it – at least – gets us out there, soaking up a new environment, and that that real-life immersion can potentially be very helpful in illuminating for us what our next steps should likely be, on a practical level – especially since many people seemingly discover their true calling or sense of purpose often by accident in the course of pursuing something else.

This latter approach to generating new beginnings, new experiences, new growth also seems to be a pretty compatible fit for the more perceived spontaneous, irrepressible nature of Aries energy itself, which is often depicted as tending to want to throw everything up against the proverbial wall in hopes that something will eventually stick.

Too, it appears that we may be keeping our fingers crossed that something really big will be sticking today as the risk-taking Aries Moon conjuncts gargantuan Jupiter, later this afternoon (4:17 pm). Moon-Jupiter potentially provides us with whopping doses of momentum to advance our agendas, as well as heightened self-confidence, especially in adventurous Aries. Of course, on the shadow side, the possible risk with Jupiter is that we do too much, overestimate our capabilities, or act too impulsively.

All the world is a birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much.” – George Harrison

Today’s Question(s): If you were to “go big” today, what might that look like or entail for you – and what area of your life would you likely be focusing on?

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On March 22, 1933, President Roosevelt (FDR) makes beer and wine legal in the US as initiating Mars, in health and habit-forming Virgo, applies to a conjunction to substance-ruling Neptune; Mars tends to energize whatever it is aligned with. Meanwhile, expansive Jupiter in Virgo was also separating from a conjunction to Neptune while Luna was deposited in change-oriented, freedom-loving Aquarius.

Born On This Day: Canadian actor William Shatner, best known for playing Captain James T. Kirk in the science fiction television series Star Trek (1966–69) and in several Star Trek films. Shatner is turning 92 today.

“What does God need with a starship?” – William Shatner.

Astrology March 20, 2023: Sun Enters Aries / Spring Equinox

Cosmic Weather:

“We all want to break our orbits, float like a satellite gone wild in space, run the risk of disintegration. We all want to take our lives in our own hands and hurl them out among the stars.” – David Bottoms

We start off our Monday with lots of moving parts, including the rollout of a brand-new astrological year as the Sun enters enterprising Aries – also signaling the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere (5:24 pm), which is perennially perceived as favorable for new beginnings, particularly of a personal nature as Aries is associated with one’s own self-identity.

We also have a New Moon in energizing Aries, tomorrow afternoon (1:23 pm) – meaning that today we are immersed in Luna’s Waning Crescent phase in Pisces, often a time of reflection and quiet planning, as well as a final period for wrapping things up. Luna is only generating 2% illumination now, so her output is pretty much at a lull, suggesting that we maybe are too.

At the same time, intense Pluto is still holed up at the 29th or anaretic degree of corporate Capricorn as the global banking crisis continues to unfold and grab headlines; Pluto is thought to rule credit, debt, and lending. When a planet gets to the last degree of a sign, there often seems to be more of a last-ditch effort to do certain things, push certain things through, as we may perceive that we are running out of time.

(Too, yesterday, as the empowering Sun in unifying, idealistic Pisces formed a sextile to transformational Pluto – an influence that often can usher in sudden rebirths or makeover responses on our part – UBS agreed to buy its rival Credit Suisse in an attempt to alleviate some of the banking stress. It will be interesting to see how this aspect may appear to play out, this week.)

Also, on Wednesday, the last day Pluto will be in Capricorn, for a while, before entering robot-zone Aquarius on Thursday the 23rd (8:13 am), Federal Reserve Chief Jerome Powell will announce whether or not he will be raising interest rates, once again, or maybe taking a pause, which can, of course, have important impact on those of us who may be considering taking out such things as mortgage or car loans, with money often costing more, the higher the rates go up. Saturn-ruled Capricorn also has a reputation for being a bit Scrooge-like, to begin with, due to its perceived focus on budget-planning or preferring to live leaner and meaner.

“Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people that they don’t like.” – Will Rogers

Today’s question: If money were no object, what might you consider doing today that you otherwise would not likely do?

Astrology March 2, 2023: Mercury Conjuncts Saturn, Venus Conjuncts Jupiter

Cosmic Weather:

“Normally, we do not so much look at things as overlook them.” – Alan Wilson Watts

This Thursday morning intellectual Mercury conjuncts exacting Saturn in “doubting Thomas” Aquarius (9:34 am) tending to inject more gravity, skepticism, or cautiousness into our thinking, words, or communications. Since our mental focus is perceived to be more narrowed or concentrated now, it can often be a good period to comb through the fine details of matters, particularly, perhaps, looking for the weaknesses or vulnerabilities in things. It is also possible now that we are wrapping up or finishing a final review of something as this conjunction is coming at the 29th (or anaretic) degree of Aquarius.

Today’s annual Mercury-Saturn conjunction is also occurring with love goddess Venus and big-hearted Jupiter affectionately paired up in the sky in adventurous Aries (12:36 am), suggesting that we are also poised and ready for adding something new or bold to our lives that ideally affords us more personal freedom and self-expression. It can also be a propitious time to expand our sphere of relationships as well as to immerse ourselves in social activities.

Later this afternoon, Mercury will also enter dreamy, idealistic Pisces (5:52 pm) for a 16-day stay.

*All times EST

On This Day in History: On March 2, 1965, one of the most popular films of all time, The Sound of Music, starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, premiers (Academy Awards Best Picture, 1966).

Astrologically, that day, there was a stellium of five planets (plus Chiron) in creative Pisces, the sign associated with filmmaking or visual imagery. Mental Mercury in Pisces was also applying to an exact trine to imaginative Neptune in potent Scorpio, the modern-day ruler of Pisces. Mars in craftsmanship Virgo was also sextile Neptune as well as trine to expansive Jupiter in the financial and artistic sign of Taurus. Mars-Jupiter aspects tend to generate or correlate with mega amounts of enthusiasm and passion for our endeavors, while the Mars-Neptune energy can help us to skillfully manifest our dreams or visions, so that they become very real to us.

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology February 28, 2023: Gemini Moon Squares Neptune

Tags

Cosmic Weather:

“For a second I was almost jealous of the clouds. Why was he looking to them for an escape when I was right here beside him?”Kamila Shamsie, Kartography

Balloons have been in the news quite a bit, as of late. And this morning seems to be echoing that sort of balloon-ish theme a tad, as the Waxing Moon in airy, curious Gemini squares off against gaseous Neptune in escapist Pisces (10:46 am). It is very possible that this murkier, more untethered lunar setup could prime us to want to mentally float or drift off course for a while – preferably to some undetectable locale – so, ideally, we can steep ourselves in fantasy and skirt around having to be accountable to anyone but ourselves; the woes of the workaday world temporarily subdued – or, at least, ideally less of a factor for us.

(By the way, in case you didn’t know, a British scientist – Michael Faraday – is credited with inventing the first rubber balloon in 1824. What is also pretty wild is that early balloons were reportedly made of animal bladders or intestines; Galileo, for instance is said to have used an inflated pig’s bladder in an experiment to measure the weight of air.) 

Anyway, as the day goes on, we do (seemingly) manage to somehow regain our affection or affinity for the “real world” (Moon trine Saturn at 8:07 pm). Too, Luna’s shift into Cancer the Crab (9:40 pm) accentuates a need or longing for secure connections firmly rooted in our past.

“The past beats inside me like a second heart.” – John Banville, The Sea

On This Day in History: On February 28, 1983, the final episode of M-A-S-H aired to record ratings. Nearly 106 million viewers, or 77 percent of the American TV-watching public, tuned in to watch the finale. After 11 seasons, the television show about a US Army medical unit serving in the Korean War lasted longer than the war itself. (Wikipedia)

Astrologically, that day, the empowering Sun was in dissolving Pisces at 9 degrees and exactly square to Jupiter conjunct Uranus at 9 degrees of storytelling Sagittarius. Jupiter perennially serves to expand the scope or reach of things and paired with Uranus, the planet ruling broadcasting, it wasn’t surprising – astrologically-speaking – that the last episode of the show garnered such a gargantuan audience. Jupiter-Uranus energy also typically has a special “buzz” to it, or suggests some ‘out of the ordinary’ occurrence.
