COSMIC WEATHER:

“Most people have a harder time letting themselves love than finding someone to love them.” Bill Russell

Today’s Venus-Saturn opposition (8:15 pm EDT) has been linked with a “fear of involvement,”or a general “resistance to love.” Saturn symbolically represents our fears, also our duties and obligations. When it is aligned with Venus, governing our affections, there can be some blockages in the expression of our feelings for a myriad of reasons. Or we may just feel more obligated by love. Sometimes, too, with this aspect, others let us down or do not give us the support that we need. Venus-Saturn also has some history with separations. Regardless of the scenario, we may find that we prefer our own company more now.

Financially, because Venus also rules money, we may encounter some temporary restrictions or challenges in this area. It may also behoove us to be more frugal (Saturn) now, or to try getting by with less.

Meanwhile, the Moon’s placement in fiery, “start-me-up” Aries means we have a tally of six planets in this restless sign, today and tomorrow. (Won’t have this number again here for several years.) We also have 8 planets in the cardinal signs (also linked with originating action).

With such a preponderance of Aries and Cardinal energy, we will want to make sure that we are finding a way to expend all of this physical energy. Gardening, or yard work, may be ideal for us now, especially with the Sun in earthy Taurus. I personally went shopping for flowers today at the local farmer’s market and will be planting them tomorrow. I also have an Aries rising and, have to admit, I am really feeling the weight of the Aries energy. I seem to be having more difficulty focusing and concentrating on tasks. Anyone else feeling this way?

Enjoy your Saturday!

Astrology April 28, 2011: “Be An Angel” Moon in Pisces

COSMIC WEATHER:

“When angels visit us, we do not hear the rustle of wings, nor feel the feathery touch of the breast of a dove; but we know their presence by the love they create in our hearts.” Unknown

The compassionate Pisces Moon admonishes us to be an angel to others today. To selflessly take creatures, fragile or weak, under our wings and provide them with kind, loving shelter. Too, sometimes just taking a moment to utter a few, uplifting words to a person can fill that person with a bright, glorious hope.

We also have energizer Mars applying to a conjunction to expansive, optimistic Jupiter today (this aspect will also be in around for the Royal Wedding). This is a very potent alignment that tends to make us much more open to envisioning grander possibilities for ourselves and others. As a matter of fact, if we could astrologically “bottle” hope, this is one aspect that we would be putting into that container.

Too, Mars conjunct Jupiter is linked with evangelizing and preaching. So, if you perhaps feel a little inspired to give that “sermon on the mount” today, this aspect could be the reason why.

BTW, Mars-Jupiter also has a legacy of being mingled in with the affairs of royalty, with Jupiter ruling kings and queens. Kind of neat that this uplifting aspect will be imbedded, forever, in Kate and William’s royal wedding chart. It could be, too, that their loving marriage will serve as an inspiring template for others, maybe the whole world, to follow. The late Princess Diana, now in the company of angels herself, must be so very, very proud. Of course, Diana’s, dear, sweet memory, will also be present in all of our hearts tomorrow, as we watch the young couple wed.

Famous Birthdays April 28th: Jay Leno (61), Ann Margret (70).

A quick peek at Ann-Margret’s horoscope shows that she has 6 planets in earthy, sensual Taurus, which is also a very artistic sign. Four of those Taurus planets are involved in a harmonious trine to creative, imaginative Neptune. The Neptune influence helps to endow Ann with more of an ephemeral or otherworldly (angelic) quality, and also makes her very sympathetic and compassionate. Everything I have always read about Ann-Margret suggests that she does, indeed, have a heart of gold.

Have an angelic day! Earn those wings!

Personal note: From the looks of things, I may need to be away from here for a few days. But, I shall return!

Astrology Horoscope April 27, 2011: Venus Square Pluto, Sun Trine Pluto

COSMIC WEATHER:

“All of our reasoning ends in surrender to feeling.” Blaise Pascal

The Moon enters “contemplative” Pisces today (12:58 am EDT) and immediately forms  a potent conjunction to Neptune, the ruler of Pisces (2:06 am EDT). This is the first time this has occurred here in about 150 years.  With this double-dose of  “Neptunian energy”  mystically engulfing us, there can be more of a desire to surrender to “unseen forces.” Neptune, of course, denotes our “link with the Divine.” It also represents our “urge for escape (fantasy),” and the impulse to avoid confrontation.

Ironically, with this more “retreating” Pisces Moon backdrop, we also have the more “high-drama” Venus square Pluto aspect (3:19 am EDT), which is, potentially, a more conflicting, confrontational type energy, that is linked with “depth of feeling” and “all-consuming” passion. Venus, again, rules love and relationships, and money and what we value. Pluto governs our “urge for reform” and also the “desire to purge.” It is tied in with power, control, erotica and sexual issues, compulsive-type behavior and feelings of obsession. Pluto also symbolically rules death. Its vibration is intense and laser-focused.

Often when we merge these two, with the “square” aspect often “forcing matters,” we see, on the shadow side, the emergence of some very thorny relationship, or money issues, especially if we are acting in a self-serving manner. It is suggested that, to avoid giving a platform to these problematic issues, we wisely refrain now from engaging in manipulative (Pluto) or controlling behavior and avoid deliberately pushing “hot button” topics. This also extends to the professional front, as Pluto is in Capricorn, the sign of career.

On another level, though, Venus-Pluto does sometimes have a healing or redemptive quality to it, and can also mark the beneficial ending (Pluto) of a personal or business relationship (Venus) that is no longer useful to us, or that has simply outlived its purpose. Moving on from such a tie now may actually be a potent way to “regenerate” (Pluto) ourselves.

To cite, perhaps, a high-profile example of this: Yesterday, on the eve of this aspect, came word that CBS Evening News Anchor, Katie Couric, would be leaving that post at CBS, when her contract expires at the end of June. Katie, a Capricorn, debuted as nightly news anchor when Saturn in entertainment Leo was exactly opposite hazy, dissolving Neptune in Aquarius (sign of broadcasting). The ratings for the program have never been very good. Often with Saturn-Neptune we experience more “ego-denying” experiences. Saturn-Neptune energy is often depicted as a time when the “rug is pulled out” from under us, a period when we do not receive the kind of support that we need.

Meanwhile, we also have a powerful “Sun trine Pluto” aspect today, with the Sun in pragmatic Taurus, the sign of money. This can also suggest that we can successfully make some practical (Taurus) reforms (Pluto) in our lives now. It also gives us more resolve to tackle difficult issues head-on with determination and courage. Sun trine Pluto can additionally bring about more “transparency,” as it can illuminate (Sun) previously hidden matters (Pluto). Although, we may want to be careful now that we don’t also “spill the beans” on things that we don’t want revealed.

Coincidentally, as I am writing this, a news report has just come out that the White House has released President Obama’s “long form” birth certficate today (transparency), in a bid to end a long-standing public controversy on whether or not he was not born in the U.S.  (The birth certificate shows that he was.) Also, today will be the very first time that the Federal Reserve (Taurus) has ever held a “press conference,” with Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke, set to be grilled by the media. The Central Bank has traditionally operated with a high-level of secrecy (Pluto). Pluto also rules debt and credit issues.

Do you maybe feel a need for more transparency (Sun trine Pluto) in your own life today? Do you see where it perhaps could be helpful to you now, to share a secret about yourself, or to divulge some information? Too, sometimes when we do “unload stuff,” we do feel better, more freer. In other words, there can be a decided “cathartic” affect (Pluto) to the whole process.

Astrology April 26, 2011: “Early Bird Catches Worm” Moon Sextile Jupiter

COSMIC WEATHER:

“A pessimist is a man who thinks all women are bad. An optimist is one who hopes they are.” Chauncey Depew 🙂

It could be the “early bird catches the worm” today with the Aquarius Moon’s early morning sextile to fortuitous Jupiter in “trailblazing” Aries (7:29 am EDT). The futuristic Moon in Aquarius is a perfect conduit for visionary Jupiter, the planet of expansion and optimism. With Moon-Jupiter we tend to be more upbeat emotionally, which may explain why we often attract more positive things to us under this influence.

Jupiter also governs our sense of humor and when aligned with the Moon, there can be more of an ability to see things from a humorous perspective, which can also be a good way to help endear other people to us. I think most of us like to be around people who can “lighten us up,” or make us laugh, don’t you?

The Moon will be in Aquarius all day again today, not really making any other major aspects, the rest of the day, after her sextile to Jupiter. Shortly after midnight tonight, she will shift into dreamy Pisces.

Wanted to also briefly mention that we are getting ready to have another “high-drama” Venus-Pluto hookup tomorrow (3:19 am EDT), which can often be a real “soap operish” type aspect in which we are tempted to go to extremes, especially in romance. Venus rules love and money. Pluto rules power and manipulation. This influence is already starting to apply so we may want to monitor ourselves today and make sure that we are not acting too pushy, accusatory, or self-serving. (We can also encounter boorish types who act this way with us.)

Also, it’s probably a good idea to hold off  issuing “Pluto” ultimatums for a few days. Venus-Pluto tends to fire up our emotions and passions.

“Love comes when manipulation stops.” Joyce Brothers

Famous Birthdays April 26th: Michael Damian (49), Carol Burnett (78). BTW, Carol has both her Moon and Sun in down-to-earth, easy to relate to Taurus, and her Sun is exactly conjunct her Venus in Taurus, endowing her with a lot of warmth to her personality and also giving her a strong personal power of attraction (Venus). Sun-Venus aspects also can denote artistic ability.

She also has Mars and Neptune conjunct in exacting Virgo which can be a phenomenal force for stoking the creative juices (Mars energizes whatever it touches and Neptune rules the imagination, also acting). Too, Carol, has her Moon trine Jupiter (sense of humor), a very similar aspect to the Moon-Jupiter sextile influence that we have in operation today, an aspect which I also happen to have exact in my chart. Of course, Carol Burnett is a legend in the comedy world. I have admired her all my life for being so talented and funny.  In my own way, I also try to be lighthearted and optimistic, and I can usually manage to find the humor in things, but I’m certainly no comedian. How about you? Can you usually see the humor in situations? Do you think others find you funny? Do you have a Moon-Jupiter linkup in your horoscope? Or perhaps Mercury-Jupiter or Sun-Jupiter (equivalent type energy)? Hopefully, too, we’ll all find something to laugh about today.

“A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life.” William Arthur Ward

Enjoy your day!

Astrology April 25, 2011: “Be Curious” The Moon Is In Aquarius

COSMIC WEATHER:

“It has bothered me all my life that I do not paint like everybody else.” Henri Matisse

The Moon is in individualistic Aquarius all day, encouraging us to celebrate and revel in our own personal brand, while at the same time urging us to make a positive contribution to the collective. Too, due to the airy, detached nature of Aquarius, the Moon here also potentially supplies us with more objectivity for dealing with our feelings. The Aquarius Moon is also innovative, so it is a great day to be curious. To ask questions. To see if there is a novel way to improve upon the existing protocol.

The experimental Aquarian Moon energy also adds positive support to the cartel of five planets in enterprising Aries, a sign that is largely focused on the matter of its own self-discovery, and proving itself through bold action. The Moon’s harmonious trine to stabilizer Saturn in relationship Libra (1:46 pm EDT) also helps to get us solid backing and endorsement from others for whatever worthy causes we might want to spearhead today.

“What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Astrology April 24, 2011: “Emotional Detachment” Moon in Aquarius Horoscope

COSMIC WEATHER:

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

The Moon vacates practical Capricorn for objective Aquarius (2:00 pm EDT) allowing us to experience more of an emotional detachment with respect to our feelings. Mercury in energetic Aries also continues its opposition to serious Saturn in partnership Libra, perhaps inclining us to want to discuss more substantive (Saturn) issues with our mates, including maybe commitment? (Saturn)

This is also an excellent day for studying history or science, or for learning new technology. Too, it could be that with the smart Aquarian Moon, we are able to masterfully detect where the Easter bunny has hidden all the eggs. 🙂 Too, for those who celebrate it, Happy Easter!

Famous Birthdays April 24th: Shirley MacLaine (77), Barbra Streisand (69). BTW, Barbara’s horoscope is very similar to my own. We both have Sun in Taurus, Moon in Leo, and an Aries Rising. Too, I have always personally identified with Barbra, since I was a child. I think her personality is a lot like mine, particularly her sense of humor. Unfortunately though, for me, I cannot sing and I don’t have her kind of money. Also, I wish I had a man like James Brolin!

Too, a peek at Shirley MacLaine’s horoscope reveals that she has an analytical Virgo Moon conjunct mystical Neptune, perhaps why she doesn’t mind “going out on a limb” discussing her spiritual beliefs before the public (Moon). Of course, she is also regarded, by some, as being a little bit “spacey” (Neptune). The Moon not only rules the public, but it also governs our public image. Shirley also has expansive Jupiter in Libra in her first house, giving her grand creative (Libra) talents ( as both a performing artist and writer), and also making her a natural teacher (Jupiter). Additionally, she has innate ability as a “peacemaker” and “diplomat.” (Jupiter in Libra)

Oprah Winfrey recently had Shirley MacLaine on her program. Did you see the show? Oprah mentioned to Shirley that it was Shirley’s book, “Out On A Limb,” that significantly altered her own thinking on religion and spirituality. I was really surprised to hear her say that. Shirley also talked on the Oprah Show about her experience with “UFO’s.”

Astrology Horoscope April 23, 2011: Mercury Goes Direct, Mercury Opposite Saturn

COSMIC WEATHER:

“The problem with communication is the illusion that it occurred.” George Bernard Shaw

Isn’t that a wonderful quote? We think that we’re communicating, but in reality, we’re not. It’s all but a fantasy. A mirage. A product of our delusional, vulnerable minds. No one’s really listening to us. Or, vice versa. Not even our own mothers. 🙂

However, there is some hope that all this may begin to change today, that communications may start garnering some measure of respectability again, and that we can begin moving forward with our brilliant ideas, as messenger Mercury is finally stationing direct in “mildly manic” Aries (6:04 am EDT) after roughly a three-week retrograde cycle.

Generally, whenever Mercury stations direct, information that was earlier withheld or filtered from us, begins to appear. However, we are still well-advised to proceed cautiously now, and wait a few days before really acting on this newly-acquired knowledge. Too, what we should do now is use the next few days to seriously reflect upon all this new information that is coming our way. (Mercury will also not officially be out of its’ “shadow period,” back to the degree that it originally went retrograde at, until May 11th.)

Of course, nothing in life is ever simple. There are always unnerving complications. Today, is no exception. Mercury is stationing direct at 12 degrees of Aries exactly in opposition to delaying, restrictive Saturn at 12 degrees of partnership Libra. With Mercury-Saturn, we can experience communication blockages (just what we all wanted to hear, right?). We may also feel more serious and sensitive, and may even want to withdraw from others, in order to be by our lovable, lonesome selves. However, since Mercury-Saturn is great energy for focused concentration, this may not be such a bad idea to temporarily go into seclusion, especially if we have some important tasks to do that could use our undivided attention.

Too, the Moon is in “work till you drop” Capricorn, Saturn’s home turf, and she’s not really a happy camper there, forming squares to Saturn, Mercury Mars, and Jupiter. In the end, we likely “progress” today by being productive and responsible (Saturn). With that said, love goddess Venus is still in a conjunction with wild Uranus in spontaneous Aries, so things could also conceivably get a little interesting in the romance department, given the opportunity. Venus-Uranus helps to shatter our inhibitions.

Famous Birthdays April 23rd: George Lopez (50), Michael Moore (57), Shirley Temple Black (83), late Roy Orbison (75)

Astrology April 22, 2011: “Sudden Infatuation” Venus Conjunct Uranus

COSMIC WEATHER:

“All charming people, I fancy, are spoiled. It is the secret of their attraction.” Oscar Wilde

The late Elizabeth Taylor and the late Johnny Cash (born just a day apart) both had their Venus (ruling love, beauty, creativity, and power of attraction) exactly conjunct high-voltage Uranus (urge for individuality) in self-expressive Aries. The Venus-Uranus conjunction is often the hallmark of charismatic individuals with unique talents and gifts (and often striking appearances). We have this very same aspect today in Aries for the first time in over 75 years (10:29 pm EDT).

This Venus-Uranus influence can also make us crave more emotional excitement in our relationships and also in our pleasurable pursuits (ruled by Venus). Too, we are possibly more inclined to forge ties (Venus) with more non-conforming (Uranus) types, or to people we normally would not be attracted to. Venus-Uranus is also known for having sympathy for those who are perceived as “underdogs,” and this aspect often figures in prominently with the emergence of “gay rights” issues in the news.

Additionally, Venus-Uranus has a legacy of spawning “sudden infatuations” and instant “electrifying” relationships. Interestingly, John Lennon and Paul McCartney also met on a day when Venus was conjunct Uranus in entertainment Leo. Of course, we all know what transpired from that union. So, today could be filled with a lot of exciting possibilities for us, if we mingle. Too, this is a fantastic aspect for any creative endeavors.

Meanwhile, the Moon enters ambitious Capricorn (6:26 am EDT) today, kindling our desire to get ahead on the career front. The Moon’s square to rebel Uranus (10:34 am EDT), however, could create some fallout for us, if we try to rock the boat too much. Also, if we are too greedy for power, we could encounter some opposition when the Moon conjuncts controlling Pluto (7:52 pm EDT). At the same time, however, this aspect could be a potent time for networking, as Pluto can denote important “movers and shakers.”

Too, with the Venus-Uranus influence exact today, we may want to consider “altering our appearance,” such as maybe trying out a new hairstyle, or adding more pizzaz to our wardrobe (perhaps something ‘electric blue’ for Uranus).

Famous Birthdays April 22: Jack Nicholson (74), Glen Campbell (75).

Happy Earth Day! Enjoy your weekend!

COSMIC WEATHER

“Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.” Robert Frost

Love Maven Venus races into “conquest-oriented” Aries today (12:07 am EDT), meaning we can forget about doing the laundry for the next six weeks or so (Venus stays in Aries until May 15th). Or the vacuuming. Instead our focus will likely be on trying to romantically “wow” others with what we perceive to be our highly “irresistible” appeal.  Needless to say, with Venus in Aries we can be a little “too full” of ourselves. Aries is, after all, the sign of “self.”

With the sign Aries ruled by aggressive Mars, Venus in Aries normally doesn’t hold back from pursuing any of her heart’s desires. Too, tomorrow she meets up with wild, wacky Uranus. All predictions are off with that aspect – anything could happen then!

Meanwhile, the Moon is also in irrepressible Sagittarius, another fire sign. OMG! The number of wild oats that could be sown today just boggles the mind! 🙂

Have a fun day!

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Each of us seems to have a main focus, a particular idea of practicality – a concept of ‘what we want out of life’ against which we judge our experiences.” Jane Roberts

The illuminating Sun, denoting our spirit, enters earthy Taurus today (6:18 am EDT), the sign of money and possessions (where it will stay for the next month).  The Sun in Taurus imbues us with a more practical focus and greater desire for stability.

The anchoring Taurus Sun also forms an interesting sextile to dreamy Neptune in oceanic Pisces. So, it could be that we are able to manifest (Taurus) some of our dreams (Neptune) today. Too, even though the Sun is now in tangible, down-to-earth Taurus, the Sun’s soothing linkup with spiritual guru Neptune helps to provide a certain mystical or reflective quality to this day.

The Moon’s entrance into visionary Sagittarius (2:51 am EDT) also serves to sort of reiterate this “transcendent” theme. Sagittarius the Archer encourages us to “reach for the stars” and broaden our horizons through travel, philosophy, higher education, religion. Lest we forget, too, we still have four planets in fiery, adventurous Aries with Love Goddess Venus also moving into that sign tomorrow.

In the News: Perhaps fittingly, with the Sun’s sextile to Neptune bringing “sea-worthy” things to mind, we are also poignantly marking the one-year anniversary of the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history.

A year ago today, taskmaster Saturn at 29 degrees of Virgo (Virgo oversees the management of resources) was in a tight opposition to unpredictable Uranus at 28 degrees of Pisces (Pisces rules both the sea and oil). This opposition aspect can often be a more “disruptive” influence, especially when we do not “play by the rules (Uranus).” Saturn was also forming a challenging quinqunx aspect to confusing Neptune (the ruler of Pisces) at 28 degrees of Aquarius.

Saturn is often billed as the “Lord of Karma.” It is the planet of accountability and responsibility (it also symbolically represents the Earth). When we have more difficult Saturn influences we often experience the more challenging consequences of our actions (reaping our karma, in other words). Here in the case of the oil spill, BP has also reportedly acknowledged that serious errors were made leading up to the disaster (the ‘tried and true” Saturn protocol was not maintained).

Famous Birthdays April 20th: Ryan O’Neal (70), Jessica Lange (62). Also, my late dog, Coco (depicted below), would have been 15 years old today, so it’s kind of a sad day for me. Coco died two years ago. The latter portion of her life, she was blind, deaf and diabetic, but she never seemed to let any of that get her down. She was a real trooper (had an Aries Moon.) She was perhaps the gentlest animal I ever had. I miss her every day. Love you, Coco Puff! Your mama’s thinking about you.
