“Television won’t last because people will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night.” – Darryl F. Zanuck, American film producer and co-founder of 20th Century Fox

On October 14, 1964, Philips TV reportedly conducted their first official experimental broadcast of Philips’ color TV system in the Philips television studio in Waalre, Netherlands. The demonstration is said to have featured a Polygoon color film news program described by a journalist as “well blue-tinted.”

This event was part of Philips’ broader 1964 test campaign, during which some 100 Philips employees received color TVs at home to evaluate the new technology, along with some select members of the media. While Philips had been developing and testing color TV earlier in 1964, October 14, 1964, is historically recognized as the date of the first official experimental color TV broadcast by the company and hailed as a milestone in Philips’ rollout of color TV in Europe.

Just for fun, yours truly took a quick peek at the astrology that day!

Among the planetary aspects on 10/14/1964 that caught my eye: the transiting Moon was passing through innovative, tinkering Aquarius, the sign ruling broadcast technology. Trailblazing Mars was also deposited in bold, colorful “Leo the Lion,” which is thought to be a much more dramatic, performance-focused placement for Mars.

Mars was also forming an exact square to otherworldly, masquerading Neptune in Scorpio, an influence that sometimes is linked with our perceptions seeming a bit off or skewed; Neptune also governs cameras, photographic equipment, and images.

Energizing square aspects are also commonly viewed as forcing us to take some kind of action on a matter in a bid to ease or resolve tension.

Too, “Mars-Neptune” aspects are often regarded in astrology as among the most potentially creative pairings of all. This is perhaps because Neptune is seen as overseeing our dreams, vision, and imagination, and pioneering Mars often acts as a catalyst to fire up or animate whatever it is aligned with.

Too, when we are under the spell of idealistic Neptune’s activated ray it is often conjectured that we may be looking through “rose-colored glasses.” 🙂

***

Anyone remember when color TVs first came out? They were quite a game-changer! I think my family got our first one in the mid-sixties. Initially, color televisions were reportedly nearly triple the price of the black and white TVs, with some purportedly costing as much as a $1000! Too, I’ve read that it was only in the early 1970s that color TVs finally overtook the black and white television market. Maybe the hesitancy to make the switch was due to the higher price.

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

Astrology June 28, 2026: Mars Enters Gemini, Treaty of Versailles Signed

daily astrology, flexibility, information-gathering, Mars sextile Saturn, Mercury conjunct Jupiter, On This Day in History, Sun conjunct Pluto, Treaty of Versailles Signed, World War I

Cosmic Weather:

“Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?” – T.S. Eliot

Animating Mars, the perceived planet of action and motivation, enters the information gathering/sharing sign of Gemini today (3:29 pm), where it will stay until August 11. Mars in curious, communicative Gemini serves to expand the general awareness of our environment as well as steps up our daily interactions with it.

We’re also seeking to enlarge the playing field of our options now as Mars in Gemini possibly compels us to ferret out greater variety in our lives. Accordingly, the choices that we make, or the decision-making process, also potentially becomes more complicated as we sort through a plethora of possibilities.

Too, it could be that we are needing more flexibility or wiggle room with respect to how we execute what we undertake, over the next six weeks, as our natural orientation now may be more akin to that of a busy bumblebee, going from flower to flower, gathering nectar; in mutable Gemini, Mars function is to first gather or collect, and then to disseminate, the bounty it has accumulated.

“To be successful, one has to be one of three bees – the queen bee, the hardest working bee, or the bee that does not fit in.” – Suzy Kassem

*All times EDT

On This Day in History:

On June 28, 1919, the Treaty of Versailles is signed in France, ending World War One and establishing the League of Nations.

Among the astrological aspects that day, Mars – the planet of war – was in versatile Gemini (as it is today) and applying one degree to an exact waning sextile to structuring, disciplining Saturn in authoritative Leo, potentially paving the way for dialing back the aggressive urge; Mars-Saturn aspects also tend to be more serious or cautious in nature and are considered excellent for planning.

Too, cooperative Venus was applying to a conjunction with Saturn, an aspect associated with long-term responsibility or commitment.

Additionally, there was a stellium of 5 planets in security-minded Cancer, that day, including contractually minded Mercury separating one-degree from an exact conjunction with goodwill ambassador Jupiter, an influence that tends to find us focusing on the bigger picture.

The empowering Sun was also applying (one-degree) to an exact conjunction with transformational Pluto in Cancer, a potentially very intense, emotionally charged, power-driven energy.

Astrology Brief June 8, 2026: Last Quarter Moon in Pisces, Orwell’s 1984 Published

08 Monday Jun 2026

daily astrology, George Orwell's 1984 book is published, Last quarter moon in pisces, letting go, regrouping our energies

Cosmic Weather:

“Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.” – Hermann Hesse

Instead of scurrying around trying to conquer our miles long, hallowed to-do lists this Monday morning, the waning Last Quarter Moon in dissolving Pisces (6:00 am) suggests we may want to consider holding off a bit; maybe give ourselves a chance to quietly reflect or regroup our energies. Refine our focus. Especially if we are perhaps feeling unsure of our path or overburdened. Too, a lot of times just eliminating one or two elements from our life, things that we maybe no longer have a passion for or that no longer serve us, can sometimes materially help to turn our “lost at sea” Piscean ship around in a positive, or at least semi-salvageable direction. 🙂

This evening, Luna’s flowing trine to lovable, receptive Venus (7:05 pm) and optimistic, big-hearted Jupiter (8:38 pm), in protective Cancer, potentially strengthens bonds and deepens trust, realities that often fall into design by following through on our commitments or keeping our promises.

“In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the commitment you make with love.” – Abraham Lincoln

*All times EDT

On This Date in History:

On June 8, 1948, Secker & Warburg publishes George Orwell’s seminal novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four” a dystopian novel set in a totalitarian society led by Big Brother. The novel explores themes of government surveillance, truth manipulation, and the loss of individuality. (Wikipedia)

Astrologically, among the planetary aspects that day: Philosophical Jupiter retrograde was in brotherly, freedom-loving Aquarius and applying one-degree to an exact quincunx to taskmaster Saturn (which also rules government) in perpetually ordering Virgo – suggesting tension between wanting to expand and align with individualism or new ideas versus wanting to maintain possible top-down control and abide by the permissible status quo.

“Until they become conscious, they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled, they cannot become conscious.” – George Orwell 1984

Astrology June 7, 2026: Pisces Moon Trines Mercury in Cancer, Graceland Opens

daily astrology, Graceland opens to public, heartfelt conversations, moon trine mercury

Cosmic Weather:

With maternal Luna and communicator Mercury harmoniously trine to each other in intuitive, feelings-oriented water signs (3:15 pm), it may be hard to resist wearing our hearts on our sleeves!

Positive Moon-Mercury pairings are naturally thought to lend themselves to our being better equipped to articulate/express whatever it is we are feeling or thinking. Our ability to listen and be receptive to what others are sharing is also ideally enhanced now as the trine aspect is perceived to make matters more effortless.

Mercury in Cancer can also be a wonderful storyteller as there is seemingly more of a talent for sharing personal experiences and showing genuine emotions with this placement.

“When you give yourself permission to communicate what matters to you in every situation you will have peace despite rejection or disapproval. Putting a voice to your soul helps you to let go of the negative energy of fear and regret.” – Shannon L. Alder

*All times EDT

On This Day in History:

On June 7, 1982, Graceland, the iconic home of Elvis Presley in Memphis, Tennessee, was opened for public tours by Elvis’ widow, Priscilla Presley, along with Elvis’ aunt, Delta Presley Biggs, who participated in the ceremonial blue ribbon cutting. The event drew around 3,000 fans who paid $5 admission to be among the first to tour the estate five years after Elvis’s death in 1977.

(Astrologically, that day, the authoritative Sun in ever-curious, conversational Gemini was in a one-degree trine to structuring Saturn in artistic, public-minded Libra. Sun-Saturn aspects are generally regarded as excellent for potentially laying solid foundations and enduring long-term commitments in relationships. Too, Elvis’ fans have proven to be very loyal to the King of Rock and Roll!)

“Do something worth remembering.” – Elvis Presley

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

Cosmic Weather:

On this first Saturday in June, the Waning Gibbous Moon is deposited in airy, independent Aquarius for the bulk of the day. Its awkward quincunx to lovey-dovey Venus (4:40 am) and bloviating Jupiter, (11:21 am) both snuggled together in nesting, clinging Cancer, may be all the motivation that we need to temporarily fly the coop now, so as to ideally gain some much-needed personal space/breathing room/objectivity. 🙂

“Developing intrinsic, emotional sustainability is the key to unlock the chains of emotional addictions… For this you must have tolerance, humility, and a desire to create happiness for yourself-independently…” – Robin Phipps Woodall

This evening, Luna’s sextile to wounded warrior Chiron (7:42 pm) potentially supports us in the acceptance of our vulnerabilities, especially as we may come to the realization now that we are not alone in this department.

Shortly afterwards, Luna shifts into introspective Pisces (8:43 pm) ideally setting the scene, over the next two days, for soothing self-renewal. Also, an excellent period to maybe reflect upon some of the fresh new awarenesses stemming from the recent Full Moon in Sagittarius.

“Awareness is the greatest agent for change.” — Eckhart Tolle

Astrology June 3, 2026: Mercury Squares Neptune, Aretha Franklin’s “Respect”

Aretha Franklin's Respect Song hits number one, confusion, daily astrology, Mercury square Neptune, Moon in Capricorn, On This Day in History

Cosmic Weather:

“How easy it is for so many of us today to be undoubtedly full of information yet fully deprived of accurate information.” – Criss Jami

Thanks to intellectual Mercury’s challenging square to confused, space cadet Neptune, in muscular he-man Aries today (8:18 pm), it could be that trying to sort out fact from fiction may be too much of a heavy lift. Especially since we also have Mercury deposited in maudlin, cry me a river Cancer, which tends to diminish objectivity.

Too, what we often find with the more difficult Mercury-Neptune aspects (illusionist Neptune, by the way, is known as the “Great Dissolver”) is that there may be big chunks of pivotal information that is either missing or being held back – possibly even lost in outer space, in this case! – which can, of course, potentially place us at an obvious disadvantage. Which is why it would probably behoove us now to make sure that if we are in doubt about something, to make sure that we either try to ask some questions for clarification or possibly attempt to gather more information before formulating a final decision on a matter.

“Trust, but verify.” – Ronald Reagan 🙂

On This Day in History:

On June 3, 1967, Aretha Franklin’s cover of the Otis Redding’s song “Respect” reaches #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Astrologically, that day, abundant and expansive Jupiter was newly ensconced in entertainment Leo, at one degree of the sign, and artistic, feminine-ruling Venus, at 27 degrees of sensitive Cancer, was applying to a conjunction with Jupiter, a configuration that is perceived to be very lucky or propitious. (We have it coming up on June 9th!)

Also, the empowering Sun in Gemini was sextile to enduring Saturn in pioneering Aries (which is also an aspect that we just had yesterday). Harmonizing Sun-Saturn aspects often add staying power to matters.

The song’s empowerment message resonated deeply during the 1960s civil rights and feminist movements, cementing its place as a protest anthem. (Wikipedia)

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

Astrology June 2, 2026: Sun Sextiles Saturn, Queen Elizabeth II Coronation

daily astrology, goals, leadership, Mercury conjunct Mars, On This Day in History, Queen Elizabeth II Coronation, Saturn conjunct Neptune in Libra, self-discipline, Sun sextile Saturn

Cosmic Weather:

“Don’t make excuses for why you can’t get it done. Focus on all the reasons why you must get it done.” – Ralph Marston

Sun in Gemini sextile Saturn in Aries (6:49 pm):

It appears that we may now have an enhanced ability today – at least on paper – to channel forth our inner taskmaster so as to get important projects accomplished, (Aries) trails blazed, deadlines met without requiring a whole lot of fanfare or handholding. 🙂

Sun-Saturn aspects are also deemed supportive for displaying leadership prowess with the Sun symbolizing our sense of personal power, self-confidence and authority and Saturn signifying our capacity for self-discipline, responsibility, and ability to work hard to reach our goals.

Too, with the Sun inhabiting curious, eclectic Gemini we potentially are primed to be more flexible or accommodating in our approaches now, which can be a nice counterpoint to the more seemingly unyielding energy of reality-stickler Saturn, which is typically regarded as the standard bearer/cheerleader of all that is traditional or tried and true.

“Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.” – Immanuel Kant

On This Day in History:

On June 2, 1953, at just 27 years old, Queen Elizabeth II was formally crowned at Westminster Abbey. Though she had officially become monarch more than a year earlier upon the sudden death of her father, King George VI.

What truly set the coronation apart from all previous ones was the decision to broadcast it on television. Against the initial advice of Prime Minister Winston Churchill and traditionalists, the Queen insisted that the cameras be allowed inside Westminster Abbey. Many bought or rented their very first television sets just for this day.

Across the Atlantic, the Royal Air Force flew recordings across the ocean so millions in North America could watch on the same day. It was the world’s first truly global television event! (MSN.com)

Astrologically, among the aspects that day, pioneering Mars and reporter Mercury were exactly conjunct in broadcast-ruling Gemini and sextile to transformational Pluto (governing the masses) in opulent Leo, the official domain of kings and queens.

Too, when Mercury and Mars are paired up, especially in intellectual Gemini, and aligned with intense Pluto, we tend to have an ultra-keen mental focus regarding the matters at hand; it’s like something riveting or extra captivating is seizing our attention.

Too, Mercury and Mars were harmoniously trine to structuring, status-minded Saturn and dreamy, idealistic Neptune, which were closely conjunct in socially minded, diplomatic Libra, with the Saturn-Neptune energy potentially imparting, among other things, a strong sense of fairness and responsibility to others as well as a greater appreciation of beauty and, perhaps, appetite for pomp and circumstance.

Additionally, the Gemini Sun was conjunct expansive Jupiter, the planet of luck, vision and prosperity, an aspect which is often tied to the occurrence of mega/large-scale events, perhaps a natural byproduct of pairing the two largest bodies in our solar system together.

“I declare before you that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.” – Queen Elizabeth II

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

Astrology Brief May 10, 2026: Sun Sextiles Jupiter, Suffragist Victoria Woodhall

empathy, equality, family, First female operated investment firm on Wall Street, Jupiter Conjunct Uranus in Cancer, Mother's Day, On This Day in History, prosperity, suffragist, Sun sextile Jupiter, Victoria Woodall

Cosmic Weather:

“The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.” — Honoré de Balzac.

It appears that the planets are appropriately towing the line this Mother’s Day as the purposeful Sun in steadfast, devoted Taurus forms a harmonizing sextile to magnanimous, inclusive Jupiter in maternal Cancer (10:14 pm), an influence that ideally serves to foster/strengthen our relationships, especially those that connect us to our familial or ancestral roots.

“Storms make trees take deeper roots.” – Dolly Parton

Jupiter is viewed as the “growth factor” in astrology and when it is deposited in nurturing Cancer it is thought that we are more amenable to displaying greater amounts of empathy or compassion, which can also, ideally, add to our own reservoir of personal well-being. A win-win situation all around!

Too, many astrological devotees are also, no doubt, keeping fingers crossed that the Sun in “material girl” Taurus, sextile to “cosmic Santa” Jupiter, will work its reputed magic and result in generously replenishing all of our coffers! 🙂

Luna is also in her Waning Crescent phase in progressive Aquarius until 1:39 pm, at which time she will shift into soothing, dreamy Pisces, which is regarded as an excellent period for reflection, journaling, or cleansing/clearing out activities.

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On May 10, 1872, Victoria Woodhall (b. 9-23-1838), a suffragist and civil rights activist, becomes the first woman nominated for the US presidency by the “Equal Rights Party” at Apollo Hall, NYC.

Astrologically, that day, philosophical, expansionist Jupiter was in Cancer – as it is now – and separating from a sextile to the empowering Sun, courageous Mars, and transformational Pluto all conjunct in determined, plodding Taurus. Jupiter was also conjunct unconventional rules-breaker Uranus, the planet associated with equality; the sign of Cancer is also linked with patriotism or love of country.

Earlier, in 1870, Victoria Woodhall co-founded Woodhull, Claflin & Co. with her sister Tennessee Claflin, making it reportedly the first female‑owned and operated brokerage firm on Wall Street. The sisters’ starting capital reportedly came from railroad magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt, who had employed them earlier as spiritualists and fortune‑tellers, giving them stock tips that he used to his advantage.

Happy Mother’s Day! Hope it’s a good one!

daily astrology, innovative, Sun square Uranus, taking new approaches, unconventional

Cosmic Weather:

“Learning is always rebellion. Every bit of new truth discovered is revolutionary to what was believed before.” – Margaret Lee Runbeck

I am in the midst of going through/reviewing some of my older astrology blogs on this site. Today, I came across a blog on the transiting Sun square to Uranus, which I wrote and published on July 12, 2015. (At the time, the Sun was in Cancer and Uranus was in Aries.) Anyway, I thought I would go ahead and include an excerpt from that blog below since we also have the Sun in Aquarius exactly square to Uranus in Taurus on February 16th (at 12:02 am), a similar influence except for the sign placements. Hope you enjoy!

“The nature of life is such that it continually requires us to take ongoing leaps in the dark, or to venture down roads that we’re not altogether familiar with. Today, with the empowering Sun squaring experimental Uranus, the planet of change, innovation, and rebellion, it appears that we tend to thrive, or come more fully into our own now, by intentionally cultivating a love of the unknown; by deciding to tolerate or accept ambiguities; by finding a way to make peace with possibly uncomfortable outcomes or results that may not be exactly what we had originally intended or envisioned for ourselves, but which may be very valuable and necessary for our soul’s unique purpose.

Lao Tzu taught that life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes, and that we should not resist them as that only causes sorrow. Always very good advice to heed, but especially for today when a wave of uncertainty seems to be on the horizon.

On another level, if we’ve been hoping for a breakthrough or a discovery, Sun-Uranus could very well deliver one. This influence also favors taking unconventional approaches to problems.

Also, because this energy tends to speed things up, it may be the kind of day in which we feel more physically or mentally restless. Accordingly, allowing ourselves to deviate from our routine, might be a very good way to play the day. We also may want to get more rest and watch what we eat now, particularly avoiding, or cutting back on, food or beverages, or even activities, that over-stimulate us, or cause us to stay awake, or get too excited.”

Famous People Born with Sun square Uranus: Stephen King, O. Henry, Wynonna Judd, John Ritter, Dennis Rodman, Bono, George Washington, Dustin Hoffman.

Cosmic Weather:

“If you can show people how to build castles, make sure you do not neglect building and nurturing your own.” – Suzy Kassem

Good afternoon!

Waxing Luna spends most of the day in home and family-oriented Cancer, sextiling electrifying Uranus in Taurus midafternoon (2:55 pm), when we possibly may be tempted to perk up our living space in unique/offbeat ways. This aspect may also help deliver sudden insights about what best nurtures or feeds us emotionally as well as possibly showering us with some novel ideas about how to add to our material security.

Later, Luna trines structuring Saturn in Pisces (4:52 pm). This potentially could be a stabilizing influence in which we may be more inclined to approach our affairs or goals in a more organized/responsible/mature manner. May also be favorable for setting up/erecting healthy emotional boundaries with others.

The Cancer Moon then enters confident Leo the Lion this evening (7:09 pm) and almost immediately throws a harmonious trine to visionary Neptune in Aries (7:23 pm). This may find us wanting to take action on our spiritual ideals or what we may perceive to be our soul’s special purpose.

This is also the first time that the Leo Moon has aspected Neptune in Aries in nearly 160 years, so they will also, undoubtedly, have a lot to catch up on!

Additionally, this Moon-Neptune influence favors artistic or creative expression – and with Luna now deposited in theatrical Leo – there’s potentially more of a flair for the dramatic. Of course, too, we have the Leo Full Moon tomorrow, so the energies are nearing a crescendo point.

*All times EST

On This Day in History: The first daytime network TV soap opera – These Are My Children – debuts on January 31, 1949, and is broadcast live on Chicago’s NBC station. It’s the first in what will become an institution of daytime drama serials, many of which will be sponsored by soap manufacturers!

Astrologically, that day, dreamy, escapist Neptune in relationship-minded Libra was exactly trine to intellectual Mercury in trendsetting Aquarius, the sign that rules broadcasting. Too, Mercury-Neptune is typically perceived as an aspect that whets our appetite for immersion into such things as fairy tales or storytelling.

Also, love Goddess Venus and Jupiter, the planet of abundance, were conjunct in corporate Capricorn. Venus-Jupiter conjunctions are normally viewed as positive for financial prosperity, romance, and creative/artistic expression.
