COSMIC WEATHER:

“I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it.” Harry Emerson Fosdick.

It could be that we are feeling more of a sense of “mystery and awe” today, as the reflective Pisces Moon forms a sextile aspect to enigmatic Pluto (9:45 am EDT), the transforming purveyor of life’s many secrets. With Moon-Pluto, we tend to want to go “deep within,” in our noble quest for relevance and higher meaning. This aspect also potentially holds a strong reservoir of healing energy.

Too, with Pisces ruling water, we may want to indulge in a spa treatment, perhaps steam therapy, for removing toxins from our bodies. Pluto rules both toxins and the process of elimination.

Also, we could probably use this same Moon-Pluto energy to do some revamping of our home or office decor, even if we only move a few things around. Sometimes simply moving objects in our environment has the net affect of freeing up stuck energy. For instance, I recently removed a small table from my den that had been sitting by itself for years in a corner. Once I did, I immediately felt a sense of release and movement around me, like a onerous weight had been lifted. I also recycled the table (Pluto rules recycling) by donating it to charity. Giving the chance for the table to also enjoy a new life where it, perhaps, will be greatly appreciated.

NEWS UPDATE: The famous “missing cobra” from the New York Bronz Zoo was found safe and alive today at the zoo just as the Moon was forming a harmonious sextile to “Detective Clouseau” Pluto. Pluto rules snakes. Too, whenever Pluto’s ray is activated, we tend to find out about things that have been previously hidden. Pluto is associated with ferreting out secrets. The snake had been missing for a few days.

Astrology March 30, 2011: “Return To Sender” Mercury Stations Retrograde!

30 Wednesday Mar 2011

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Communication works for those who work at it.” John Powell

“Communication kingpin” Mercury stations retrograde today at 24 degrees of impetuous Aries. The “winged messenger” will remain retrograde (appearing to go backward in the sky) until April 23rd.

By now, most of us know that when Mercury goes retrograde, communication and travel matters often seem to hit more snags and snarls. Of course, this is merely conjecture on our part about Mercury and its alleged correlation to these kinds of snafus. Still, to cover our bases, in any regard, we may want to pay closer attention when reading the fine print now, especially when signing any agreements and contracts (if possible, we may want to postpone signings until Mercury goes direct, which is something I always personally try to do). Also, we may want to double-check correspondence, emails, do extra backup on our computer files, have a “plan B” ready for travel plans, etc.

Theoretically, when a planet is retrograde, we are urged to do a “review” or “re-assessment” of the matters that the planet represents. Kind of like putting a car gear “in reverse,” we revisit old territory. It could be, too, that we “missed” seeing some things, the first go round, and that during the retro phase, new information comes to light. Also, with Mercury ruling our thinking, we may want to use this “retro phase” for evaluating our most recent thoughts and ideas. See if they are really worthwhile to pursue in the future. Mercury in impulsive Aries is inclined to making hasty, split-second decisions, so it probably doesn’t hurt any, to take some time out now to rethink things.

Also, with respect to the above-mentioned quote by John Powell, even though Mercury may be retrograde for the next three weeks, there is no reason that communication has to fail, if we are willing to work at it. I think this point often sadly gets overlooked in all the “Mercury retrograde” hype.

Astrology March 29, 2011: “Remote Viewing” The Moon in Detached Aquarius

COSMIC WEATHER:

“He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment.” Meister Eckhart

Too, we have somewhat of a cosmic tie-in here today: This “ability for detachment,” is conceivably more doable now, and serenity and purity, possibly more attainable, as the emotional Moon is in”airy” Aquarius all day, aligning harmoniously with “stabilizing” Saturn (11:13 am EDT) in judicial, impartial Libra (another intellectual air sign) and sextile to “philosophical” Jupiter (11:41am EDT) in “moving forward” Aries.

Theoretically, and ideally, the “cutting-edge” Aquarius Moon confers the wherewithal to be able to “remotely view” our issues and circumstances apart from any complicating emotions. Additionally, Saturn’s “firm involvement” in the matter (Saturn rules concentration), is extra “icing on the cake” for us, while “teacher” Jupiter provides us with an extra measure of vision and wisdom.

Astrology March 28, 2011: Jupiter Opposite Saturn, Sun Square Pluto

27 Sunday Mar 2011

COSMIC WEATHER:

“I believe that being successful means having a balance of success stories across the many areas of your life. You can’t truly be considered successful in your business if your home life is in shambles.” Zig Ziglar

We have a “highly-charged” day today with “expander” Jupiter in “pioneering” Aries forming an exact opposition to “contracting” Saturn (5:56 pm EDT) in “evaluating” Libra. The illuminating Sun is also in “start me up” Aries and exactly square to “transformer” Pluto (8:09 am EDT) in “ambitious” Capricorn. The Moon also enters “futuristic, discerning” Aquarius (7:01 am EDT).

Five of the planets are now in the “action-packed” cardinal signs (Aries, Libra, Capricorn), moving towards the “steroidal” New Moon in Aries on April 3rd, when we will have five planets in Aries and a total of eight planets in the active cardinal signs. With all this energy “building up” we are very likely to be feeling much more physically and mentally restless in the days ahead. Very anxious for “new beginnings.”

Today could be both a “time of revelations” and also a “day of reckoning” for us when we are able to glean fresh insight into how we are balancing and managing the various affairs of our lives (Jupiter opposite Saturn). We also may become much more aware of the scope of work that we still need to do to get our lives in better order. Also, this is most likely a time when we are going to be held accountable (Saturn) for our previous actions and decisions.

(BTW: Jupiter also rules lawsuits and legal matters, while Saturn is in judicial Libra, the sign of the courts. On Tuesday, the US Supreme Court is slated to hear arguments in a gender discrimination lawsuit against Walmart concerning pay and promotion for some 1.5 million female employees. The outcome could have huge impact for working women and work issues in general.)

Of course, some of us may also conclude that we are “going in the wrong direction,” in the face of unfolding events now, and may need to maturely cut our losses and move on. Or, at least substantially reconfigure things. With Sun-Pluto, there can be a “toppling of expectations” and a “tumbling down” of what isn’t working. Too, this “implosion” can be a good thing, as it can help us to better conserve our energies in the future. Needless to say, none of us like to admit failure and defeat. But, just because something isn’t working now, doesn’t mean that we won’t experience success again in the future. Better to regard any setbacks now as simply “retooling periods.”

Also, with the intense, dramatic Sun-Pluto aspect, there is greater likelihood of power struggles or skirmishes today, so we may want to try to rein in our egos and tempers, if we want to preserve the peace in our humble neck of the woods. Controlling Pluto often relishes a good “show of force,” especially when paired with the “empowering” Sun.

This “showdown energy” may be particularly the case on a collective level, with respect to governments around the world, as Pluto is in Capricorn, the sign of government and the Sun denotes world leaders. Too, we already have a very volatile world situation, with ongoing uprisings in the Middle East and elsewhere. Pluto tends to take things even “one step further,” often to extremes, or at least to a crisis point. It is very transforming and laser-focused energy. Could also be a day when, both individually and collectively, we hear about matters that have been previously kept hidden. Also a time when we can figure out or solve major riddles. Probing “Sun-Pluto” generates more “transparency.” As does “Jupiter-Saturn.”

Pluto also rules debt and taxes, and our financial obligations to others. Jupiter rules wealth and abundance. Saturn oversees budgeting and the conservation of resources. If we have been “living beyond our means,” the chickens could “come home to roost” now. With this in mind, today is a perfect time to perhaps take measures to “simplify” our lives and reduce our expenditures and consumption. Interestingly, too, as I am writing this (Sunday afternoon), a news story has just come across the wire about Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York finally reaching agreement with lawmakers on a tentative 2011-2012 budget for the state of New York that eliminates a $10 billion deficit. Squares tend to force issues (Sun square Pluto) and with Jupiter opposite Saturn we are looking to strike a balance and achieve an equilibrium.

Astrology: Love Goddess Venus in Pisces March 27, 2011 to April 21, 2011

26 Saturday Mar 2011

Posted by in March 2011 Astrology

(Below is an edited, re-posting of a blog that I wrote last year on Venus in Pisces.)

“Intense love does not measure. It just gives.” Mother Teresa.

Relationship planet Venus, slips into dreamy, mystical Pisces on March 27, 2011 (at 2:53 am EDT), where she stays until April 21, 2011.  Venus represents our “urge for love.”  It shows us what we are passionate about, what we value.  Her passage through the twelve signs of the zodiac gives us an insightful glimpse into our ever-changing passions and values.

Venus’ love expression is exalted in Neptune-ruled Pisces.  Here she finds herself capable of unconditional love and divine compassion. With idealistic Neptune as her mentor, Venus in Pisces can be quite spiritual, and hopeful.  She wants to believe the very best of people. She characteristically gives her heart away without thought of what she’s going to get in return.

Neptune also rules the creative urge, so natural artist, Venus in Pisces, can be very romantic, and dream up all kinds of imaginative ways to express herself here. She is especially fond of self-expression through poetry, music, dance, photography, and art.

Venus in Pisces does have a soft spot, some might even refer to it as a “blind spot,” for falling for types “who need rescuing.” More fragile types are naturally attracted to Venus in Pisces because of the warmth and caring that she magically exudes.

Because Neptune also signifies illusion and fantasy,Venus in Pisces tends to idolize or glamorize others, instead of seeing people as they are. Venus in Pisces also longs for total submergence into a relationship. Neptune’s Venus wants to be romantically swept off her feet and to give herself entirely. She does not want any boundaries coming between her and the object of her affection (Neptune is known as the “Great Dissolver”). Of course, when we do seek total immersion in a love relationship, there can be some hazards, including potentially a loss of our own identity.

“Make me immortal with a kiss.” Christopher Marlowe

In the event a love relationship does not pan out, Venus in Pisces can become very disillusioned and disheartened.  Her heightened sensitivity also makes dealing with the pain of a break-up or rejection, that much harder. Unfortunately, she often blames herself for any failures in a relationship.  Even if someone treated her disrespectfully, she may still have that person on a pedestal. Again, it’s about that tendency to not want to see others as they are.  It’s a reflection of Neptune’s intrinsic nature to want to look at relationships through rose-colored glasses. Also, it’s part of the “serve or suffer” Pisces martyr-complex that many of us are all too familiar with.

So, in summary, with Venus’ passage through softening, sympathetic Pisces, the next few weeks, what we may find is that we are acting with more of a tender-heart now, perhaps more able to graciously accept others on an emotional level. Also, perhaps more in tune with others’ needs. Too, we may be more inclined to let down our emotional guards a bit more, which could be a very good thing if it results in forging more healthy, positive connections.

On the shadow side again, we will not want to delude ourselves into seeing things in a relationship, that are not really there. Of course, this tendency is always a risk in the realm of romance, but especially now with Venus tucked away in more vulnerable, wishful Pisces. Too, we may want to make sure that we hold other people accountable for their words and actions now. Make them “walk their talk” before giving our hopeful hearts away.

Venus in Pisces Keywords: gentle, romantic, tends to fantasize, idolize, intuitive, affectionate, seductive, sentimental,  compassionate, sensitive, empathetic, sympathetic, vulnerable, gullible, moody, self-negating, self-defeating, impressionable, artistic, creative.

Famous persons with Venus in Pisces: Actor John Travolta, Poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Pianist Arthur Rubenstein, Civil Rights Leader Martin Luther King, Jr., and Psychic Edgar Cayce.

Astrology March 26, 2011: “Seductive Love” Venus conjunct Neptune

26 Saturday Mar 2011

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Seduction is always more singular and sublime than sex and it commands the higher price.” Jean Baudrillard

The Moon continues in “grounded” Capricorn urging us to apply “common sense” to our feelings and emotions. Although, the Moon’s monthly conjunction to “controlling” Pluto (11:49 am EDT) could pose a few challenges for us if we venture outside of our boundaries and try to exert too much pressure or influence on others.

This is an excellent “purge” aspect, though, so venting could be a good thing now, if done in a mindful fashion that does not unduly alienate or involve mud-slinging or the re-opening of old, hurtful wounds. Pluto is associated with the subconscious and under its activated ray, things buried deep inside of us tend to rise to the surface for review.

Also, it’s a great time to recycle or declutter on the home front or at the office. Perhaps one of the premier times of the month to do so. On the other hand, treasure-hunters may want to do some antiquing, as Moon-Pluto can be favorable for unearthing “rare jewels.”

Connection queen Venus also forms a tense, 135-degree aspect to “withholding” Saturn in partnership Libra (5:04 pm EDT).  We may feel a little more cut off or blocked in expressing our feelings. Saturn sometimes coincides with giving a voice to our fears.

However, this low feeling may not linger too long, as we also have love maven Venus conjuncting magical Neptune (9:40 pm EDT), a time when we are more inclined to “idealize love.” Putting our lover on a pedestal or making great “sacrifices” for the sake of love, may be part of our mindset now, as Venus-Neptune can be a very seductive, alluring influence. We do need to be mindful of the fact, though, that “all that glitters” may not be gold. Because, on the shadow side, “spell-binding” Venus-Neptune can be deceptive. We are also more emotionally vulnerable now.

Also, new people that come into our lives may be on a “different wavelength” from us. This influence has been known to produce some rather “odd pairings.”

Too, with Neptune symbolizing our link to the divine, Venus-Neptune, at the highest levels, can equate to “selfless love,” or an ability for demonstrating deep compassion and sensitivity with others. Therefore, it’s an excellent time to do charitable work or to dole out good deeds. It is also a very creative influence, perfect for any artistic renderings or performances, including dancing, as Neptune rules the feet.

Venus also moves into Neptune-ruled Pisces tomorrow, so today is sort of a “test-run” for possible things to come. Venus stays in Pisces until April 21. (Refer to my Venus in Pisces blog post for more details.)

Astrology March 25, 2011: “Is Glass Half Full?” Moon in Sagittarius

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can’t be done.” Bo Bennett

The bewitching Moon spends her day in optimistic Sagittarius, where she is more inclined to conclude that, “Yes, indeed, the glass is half full!” The early morning hours are best for mental work with the Moon’s trine to logical thinker Mercury ( 8:24 am EDT). The Moon’s tense square to impulsive Mars (11:09 am EDT) also cautions us to “think” before we act.

Later on, our romantic prospects brighten with the Moon’s warm sextile to connection queen Venus (7:03 pm EDT). Our blissful mood continues with the Moon’s magical sextile to dreamy, meditative guru Neptune (9:26 pm EDT), a time to seek out more mystical or creative outlets. Neptune represents our “link to the divine.”

Shortly afterward, the Moon then switches to realistic Capricorn (9:58 pm EDT), forming a potent square to rebellious child Uranus, who could put a disruptive kink into our levitation practices, if we’re not careful. A time when we could also temporarily conclude that the glass is “half empty.” Of course, this need not be the case if we keep our eyes focused on the “bigger picture” and our grander intentions for ourselves.

Astrology March 21, 2011: Reform or Revolution? Sun conjunct Uranus in Aries

21 Monday Mar 2011

COSMIC WEATHER:

“A reform is a correction of abuses; a revolution is a transfer of power.” Robert Bulwer-Lytton

Well, now that we know the fine distinction between these two things, reform and revolution, it may be that we see a bit of both of these occurring today as the “big cheese” Sun conjuncts “liberating” Uranus, the sometimes quirky, and often unruly, “rebel stepchild” of the Universe.

“Change-agent” Uranus also tends to be  “unpredictable” in nature, so it’s hard to ever know exactly what he has up his sleeve. It’s probably best for us to just prime ourselves for the “unexpected” today, and hope it will be “very good” unexpected stuff that develops in our lives.

Uranus can bring about sudden amazing breakthroughs and advances, especially of a more scientific or technological nature. This is especially the case in pioneering Aries, a sign also known for “firsts.” At any rate, a very good day to consider instituting new procedures or processes in our lives to make them more efficient. BTW, Uranus is formally associated with “genius.” Maybe all of our “IQ’s” will effectively get a boost today. Too, this is not a good day to resist change, as it could be a lost cause for us with wacky Uranus breathing down our necks, holding us captive. 🙂

This powerhouse Sun-Uranus pairing is also occurring in “don’t fence me in” Aries, the macho sign of war and the military. Of course, many of us already know what is presently unfolding in Libya with the international coalition forces enacting a no-fly zone over that country. Heard on the Wall Street Journal Radio this morning (love their early morning news program) that there is also reportedly some concern that Moammar Qadhafi could resort to terrorism, at some point, even use mustard gas.

Too, more unrest is again brewing in other areas of the Middle East. (We also have Mercury and Jupiter in Aries.) Ever since expansive Jupiter got into Aries, late January, is when the political activism and social unrest in the Middle East started heating up (also had warrior Mars in group-oriented Aquarius setting the tone then. Mars rules Aries.).

Aries also rules sports. Today, the long-awaited Barry Bonds‘ perjury trial is slated to begin, three years after Bonds was charged with lying to a federal grand jury when he denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs. One thing’s for certain about “high-voltage” Sun-Uranus: It is never a boring aspect!

Astrology March 20, 2011: “Spring Equinox,” Sun in Aries, Charles Lindbergh

20 Sunday Mar 2011

Posted by in March 2011 Astrology

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Be willing to be a beginner every single morning.” Meister Eckhart

Today is the “spring equinox.” The official start of the astrological “new year,” when the Sun ingresses into “Aries the Ram,” the sign of new beginnings (7:21 pm EDT). In astrology, the “empowering” Sun symbolically represents our “core” or “center” around which everything else revolves. It is our deep “sense of self.”

The keywords for Aries are “I am.” On a personal level, this sign is all about discovering who we are as distinct creatures apart from the pack. It’s about reveling being in our own skin. Excitedly making our humble, unique contribution to the planet.

The Sun joins Mercury (thinking), Jupiter (opportunity), and Uranus (genius) already stationed in Aries. Too, almost as soon as the Sun enters Aries it conjuncts “awakening” Uranus (tomorrow), the electrifying “poster child” for change and innovation.

“Liberating” Uranus also rules aviation and the very last time we had the Sun nearing Uranus at the early part of “pioneering” Aries, back on March 21, 1928, is when aviator Charles Lindbergh was presented his “Medal of Honor” for his first trans-Atlantic flight. When we think of how aviation has drastically altered (Uranus) civilization on this planet, “freed us up” in many ways, we can glean a fresh awareness of the unlimited possibilities that exist before us, both individually and collectively, with this game-changing, (Uranus in Aries) inventive energy at our disposal. Uranus, of course, also rules technology. Too, most of the time, the only real limits that we ever face are the “self-limiting beliefs” that we impose upon ourselves.

“The real gold is what you are.” Alan Cohen

“If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflecting our conceits?” Carl Sagan.

COSMIC WEATHER:

“I am tired, beloved, of chafing my heart against the want of you; of squeezing it into little ink drops, and posting it. And I scald alone, here, under the fire of the great moon.” Amy Lowell

There is a Full Moon today at 28 degrees of “resourceful” Virgo (2:10 pm EDT). This lunation is actually a “Super Moon,” meaning that the Moon is at its closest point to Earth (perigee). The last time we had a “Super Moon” was almost two decades ago. This Full Moon will look much bigger in the sky, especially on the horizon, but the larger size is merely an optical illusion. It will, however, have reportedly greater impact on the tides. Perhaps also on our emotions.

Full Moons tend to bring about “full illumination.” With this Full Moon in logical, analytical Virgo, we have a pitting of the intellect (Virgo) against the emotional (Pisces) self, with the impressionable, imaginative Pisces Sun in opposition to this Moon. With oppositions, we need to find a balance between the two opposing forces. In this case, integrate the “head” (Virgo) with the “heart”(Pisces), the part of us that is more emotionally vulnerable.

Wherever the Virgo Full Moon falls in our personal horoscopes (the house), is the area of life where we may also need to do some extra scrutinizing or refinement (Virgo). Also, some elimination, as Full Moons are times of release. Virgo likes to systematically take things apart for study under a microscope.  This sign symbolically rules the intestines in the body which break down food substances into digestible particles. It could be the affairs of that part of our life where the Full Moon occurs need to be reviewed in “minute detail” with eye towards improvement. Virgo the Virgin, or “Maiden,” seeks purity or perfection. Likes to fix broken situations. Restore order.

Too, this Full Moon opposes “change-agent” Uranus in Aries, a planet associated with “sudden breakthroughs,” sort of a harmonious tie-in with the “revelatory nature” of a Full Moon. Especially this Full Moon in Virgo, a zodiacal sign which intrinsically tends to be more insightful.

Unpredictable Uranian energies are also more “highly charged” and with mutable Virgo, the sign of work, being more nervous and restless, we may want to make sure that we keep ourselves fully occupied now, both physically and mentally, and also try to just “go with the Uranian flow” of electrifying energies.  The Virgo Moon always wants to be productive. It also desires to be of service to others. Definitely an admirable trait.

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” Mohandas Gandhi

Additionally, the Full Moon forms an awkward quinqunx to “disguising” Neptune, the natural ruler of Pisces, so we may also have to be prepared to deal with or manage some more confusing or nebulous issues (Neptune) that could suddenly arise. The “astute” Virgo Moon with its incredible powers of perception will likely, however, be able to deftly help us “pierce the veil” of Neptunian illusion and dispel any fogginess.
