COSMIC WATCH:

The “probing” Scorpio Moon meets up with “psychedelic”  Neptune this morning (11:14 am EDT), right before leaving Scorpio for Sagittarius. So there’s a chance that we may have to navigate through some fog and confusion, the first part of the day, as Neptune tends to put a “tie-dyed veil” over things.

With the Moon’s shift into impetuous Sadge (11:21 am EDT) we are imbued with a more adventurous streak over the next couple of days. The Moon’s square to retrograde Mercury in Virgo (11:54 am EDT), however, cautions us to refrain from being overly critical or arrogant in discussions.  Probably a wise time to remember that other people are also entitled to their own opinions, even though they may go against what we regard as “the truth.” The Sagittarius Moon is known for making us a little preachy. Too, it is a Sunday. A time when the sermon on the mount may be harder for us to resist. 🙂

We do have a good opportunity to stabilize our relationships today, especially later in the day, when love maven Venus sextiles steady Saturn (10:20 pm EDT), an influence that tends to inspire trust and loyalty with others. This is also a signature aspect of the formation of “May-December” romances, with Saturn denoting older persons.  Also, Venus-Saturn can bring back “old flames” into our lives.

Famous Birthdays August 7th: Comedic genius and fab storyteller, Garrison Keillor, turns 69 today! Fascinatingly, Keillor has communicator Mercury, in entertaining Leo, exactly conjunct his Leo Ascendant, giving him a great “gift for gab.” The Ascendant is the window through which we view the world and with Mercury right there for Keillor, in colorful Leo, he has a natural talent for both dramatization and intellectual analysis.

His Moon is also in witty Gemini, sextile to his Mercury, reinforcing his ability to articulate his feelings in a theatrical (Leo) way. His Venus and Jupiter are additionally conjunct in Cancer, the sign of home and family, making him very sentimental about his “Lake Wobegon” roots. Venus conjunct Jupiter is also a classic aspect of “luck” and Keillor has managed to use his “home base of operations” (Prairie Home Companion) to his advantage in his career.

“Lake Wobegon, the little town that time forgot and the decades cannot improve.” Garrison Keillor

Happy Birthday, Garrison!

Enjoy your Sunday, everyone!
