COSMIC WATCH:

“Above all else, be daring, be bold, be unconventional.” Kevin Rampe

The stars above seem to be “dittoing” that same sentiment today with both the Sun and Moon still deposited in bold, daring Leo, along with relationship and social guru, Ms. Venus. Venus is also forming an exact trine to Uranus, the planet of unconventionality, in “new moves” Aries.

Mingling with non-conforming types, or with people who may not share our same set of values. Seeking out new forms of entertainment or recreation. Throwing an impromptu party or celebration. Doing something we fear. These are but a handful of ways that we can positively engage the energies of the day and maybe push up that “growth factor” one notch higher in our lives by stepping out of our comfort zones.

Are you comfortable embracing people from different backgrounds? Can you see where it may be advantageous to expose yourself to different cultures?

“Continuity gives us roots; change gives us branches, letting us stretch and grow and reach new heights.” Pauline R. Kezer

Famous People with Venus Trine Uranus: Maria Shriver, Lucille Ball, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carmen Electra, Ron Howard

Enjoy your Sunday!

Astrology July 30, 2011: New Moon in Leo

COSMIC WATCH:

“An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail.” Edwin Land

The New Moon in “colorful” Leo the Lion (2:40 pm EDT) is a call for us to be creative and unabashedly share what is inside our  hearts. Leo is the sign of flowering self-expression and fun and entertainment. It also rules romance, hobbies, and children, treasured aspects of our lives that can bring us untold joy.

Today’s lunation is also “extra pleasurable” because it conjuncts sweet Venus, the official procurer of love and beauty, deepening evermore our desire to connect or bond with others. Venus is also trine to electrifying Uranus, the freedom-loving planet of change and originality, with this aspect helping to broker more spontaneity in our feelings. Venus-Uranus tends to free us from our hang-ups or inhibitions. It can also usher in sudden infatuation and liberating or unusual social experiences.

The Moon’s square to indulgent Jupiter in earthy Taurus also reinforces our ravenous appetite for life’s tray of delights, although it also raises a red flag of caution about squandering our resources or going to excess. Optimistic Jupiter can be a bit of a gambler, often willing to risk all of his tidy earnings to date for whatever is magically lurking behind door number three, hoping to double or triple his lot. Of course, we all know that sometimes that strategy can regrettably backfire on us.

“If you must play, decide upon three things at the start: the rules of the game, the stakes, and the quitting time.”  Chinese Proverb

Happy New Moon blessings! Enjoy your Saturday.

Astrology July 29, 2011: Mercury Opposes Fuzzy Neptune

COSMIC WATCH:

“That rolls to its appointed end.” William Cullen Bryant

A perfect day for winding down our affairs as we have a void-of-course Moon in sentimental Cancer and a New Moon in sunny Leo tomorrow. Mental Mercury in analytical Virgo also opposes fuzzy Neptune in fishy Pisces making decision-making possibly more convoluted today. When Neptune’s ray is activated matters tend to get obscured and we may be missing key facts. However, this same aspect could be a boon for creative types as Neptune governs our imagination. Neptune also presides over film, photography, dancing and aquatic activities.

A note of caution: Mercury goes retrograde August 2nd! A period when we often revisit and or reverse our previous decisions or plans. Something to keep in mind now.

Enjoy your Friday!

COSMIC WATCH:

“An idea is salvation by imagination.” Frank Lloyd Wright

Our creative and original ideas flow more freely with the colorful Sun in Leo’s harmonious trine to ingenious Uranus in new beginnings Aries, the planetary ruler of technology and innovation. Employing new approaches is likely the positive North Star that guides us to liberating changes today. Sun-Uranus also ignites an independent streak in us, emphatically reinforced by the Gemini Moon’s conjunction with adventurous Mars (12:56 pm EDT), which vets us for risk-taking.

Later, the Moon’s sextile to Mercury at the tail end of dramatic Leo (8:36 pm EDT)  affords us one last chance to make our points with extra grace and flair.

We wrap up the day with the Moon’s ingress into security-minded Cancer (9:12 pm EDT) which puts matters of the hearth front and center. Also, Luna’s trine to spiritual Neptune in meditative Pisces (9:34 pm EDT) sets the stage for deep reflection.

“Every artist dips his brush into his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.” Henry Ward Beecher

Famous People with Sun Trine Uranus: Farrah Fawcett, Dick Clark, Muhammad Ali

Famous Birthdays: Peggy Fleming turns 63 today! This former professional ice skater and Gold Medal Olympic champion has her athletic Mars and imaginative Neptune conjoined in graceful Libra in her 10th house of career. Neptune is also the planet that governs the feet! Seems she picked the perfect career according to her stars.

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Astrology July 26, 2011: Gemini Moon Trines Saturn in Libra

COSMIC WATCH:

There’s a willingness to tackle difficult issues this morning with the intellectual Gemini Moon’s harmonious trine to disciplined Saturn in relationship Libra (11:36 am EDT). This aspect supports team efforts, diplomacy, and is excellent for seeking out wise counsel. On the whole, Moon-Saturn tends to stabilize our affairs as Saturn symbolizes the urge for security.

“The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability.” Henry Ford

Famous Birthdays: Mick Jagger turns 68 today! In his natal horoscope, Mick has abundant Jupiter ( talent and gifts) exactly conjunct transforming Pluto in theatrical Leo. Jupiter-Pluto suggests a plethora of talent especially in creative Leo. Pluto also rules the masses and his music and stage performances have rendered him an iconic figure.

Too, Pluto governs one’s personal sense of destiny and when it’s ray is activated in our charts we tend to feel that we have a “special mission to perform.” This is the case even with transits of Pluto to important points in our charts. Of course, Mick must surely feel that it was his “destiny” to be a rock star, don’t you think? He also has his Sun, Mercury and Mars near his Jupiter-Pluto conjunction, a powerful stellium in “performer Leo.”

Do you feel that you are living out your “true destiny?”

“Lose your dreams and you might lose your mind.” Mick Jagger

Enjoy your Tuesday! Happy birthday, Mick! We love you!

Astrology July 23, 2011: Sun in Leo Quinqunx Elusive Neptune

COSMIC WATCH:

Our light begins to shine brighter with the Sun’s entrance into magnanimous Leo (12:12 am EDT) which puts a focus on being creative, self-confident, and fully open to experiencing joy.

The Leo Sun’s quinqunx to veiled Neptune, however, does suggest the need for extra vigilance today, as some issues could be obscured or clouded. Mercury’s semisquare to naysayer Saturn may also find us wrangling with a few detractors on our path.

The Moon’s ingress into sensual Taurus (12:59 am EDT) puts before us all manner of Earth’s delicious pleasures. The Moon’s monthly conjunction with fortuitous Jupiter (5:20 pm EDT) sweetens the pot even more.

“Do not bite at the hook of pleasure, until you know there is no hook beneath it.” Thomas Jefferson

COSMIC WATCH:

“Enthusiasm is the energy and force that builds literal momentum of the human soul and mind.” Bryant H. McGill

Final day for the Aries Moon. An energizing and galvanizing lunar position that supplies us with lots of momentum for getting things done.This is especially the case early and late in the day when we have the Moon sextiling enterprising Mars in clever Gemini (8:46 am EDT) and then trining “thinker” Mercury in sunny Leo (5:36 pm EDT). Both of those aspects support  our communication, discussion and decision-making efforts. We may also be waxing more eloquently now, as Mercury in Leo can be quite the orator, especially when courted by a passionate Aries Moon. Too, Moon-Mercury is a perfect time to give voice to our feelings and for speaking or writing about what is in our heart.

Enjoy your Friday!

Astrology July 21, 2011: Aries Moon Opposes “Father Time” Saturn

21 Thursday Jul 2011

COSMIC WATCH:

The “trailblazing” Aries Moon encourages us to take initiative and to make discoveries on our own. Although the Moon’s opposition to “taskmaster” Saturn in relationship Libra (11:54 am EDT) also suggests that we need to remember to “play nice with others” along the way. Or at least be willing to tolerate a little interference with our plans.

John Maxwell in his book, Winning With People, mentions five “people principles” and one of those is the “Patience Principle,” which purports that “our journey with others is slower than the journey alone.”  This is so true, isn’t it? And possibly right on the money for us today, as Saturn also symbolizes patience.  Often when Saturn crosses our path, its main purpose is to help us build up our patience reserve.

Saturn is also referred to as “Father Time.” He is perennially pushing for us to be very mindful of our movements and how we are utilizing the time that we have been allotted.

“I want to go ahead of Father Time with a scythe of my own.” H. G. Wells

Enjoy your day. Remember the clock (Saturn) is ticking away!

Astrology July 20, 2011: Moon in “Checkered Flag” Aries

COSMIC WATCH:

“Adventure is not outside man; it is within.” George Eliot

The Moon’s ingress into “checkered flag” Aries (12:26 pm EDT) gets our engines started and propels us to seek out new adventures. Too, the Aries Moon has her monthly meet-up with “unexpected” Uranus today (9:31 pm EDT), normally a time when we are able to load up on new experiences. Uranus tends to work its magic for us as a harbinger of change. He also gets us ingeniously thinking outside the box.

The Moon in Aries also squares “stealth” Pluto in Capricorn (11:46 pm EDT). A time when we may choose to go undercover. Pluto governs hidden realms, including our subconscious. Too, while we like to think that we’re consciously controlling our behavior, many psychologists say that most of the time, our behavior is dictated by our subconscious. No doubt, this theory is also “music to Pluto’s ears,” who delights in surreptitiously pulling our strings. 🙂

“Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.” George Patton

People with Moon in Aries: Sarah Ferguson, Jennifer Lopez

Celebrity Update: Unconfirmed reports are swirling around today that former Beatle, Paul McCartney (a Gemini), is poised to walk down the aisle for a third time in London. His bride-to-be is American divorcee, Nancy Shevell, who is Barbara Walters’ second cousin. The two have reportedly dated for four years.

Paul has “change-agent” Uranus, in “new beginnings” Aries, moving through his seventh house of marriage now and exactly trining his “transforming” Pluto in “romantic” Leo in his 11th house of hopes and wishes. I get the sense of some positive, life-changing karma playing out for Paul here. How about you? Unfortunately, I don’t have Nancy’s chart.

One other cool note about Paul’s chart: He natally has loving and creative Venus, in faithful Taurus, exactly conjunct his 9th house of writing. This has to be a big boon for him in his song-writing ability, especially his talent for writing “silly love songs.” Venus not only rules romance, but it also shows what we love to do. I’m not even sure how many songs Paul has written, but it has to number into the hundreds. Too, Venus in Taurus often coincides with marked talent for art or music.

Enjoy your Wednesday! We’re rooting for you Paul!
