COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon’s ingress into plodding, deliberate Taurus the Bull (2:46 am) is a lift for all things practical. The Taurus Moon is thought to be a good grounding or stabilizing influence.

It’s also regarded as ideal for gardening or planting activities, especially for planting above ground crops today, as the Moon is working up to its Full Moon phase tomorrow in this sign.

Too, the Moon’s monthly conjunction with buoyant Jupiter (10:21 am), the largest planet in our solar system, can ideally help to put us in more hopeful or generous spirit, with Jupiter often billed as the cosmic Santa Claus.

The Moon is also forming a potent trine to healing, regenerating Pluto, in success-oriented Capricorn (2:08 pm), which is another earth sign. With Moon-Pluto energy, we often receive added clarity or insight into matters and can successfully re-plot our courses or strategies as a result. It is also considered possibly an excellent influence for locating missing objects or ferreting out what has been hidden in general, including hidden within our subconscious (Pluto rules psychology and psychotherapy).

Neptune, the planet of spirituality and illusion, is also stationing direct today in hi-tech Aquarius (1:54 pm), after going retrograde in Pisces, the sign of its rulership, in early June. Neptune will be leaving Aquarius for good in early February of 2012. It will not be back in the sign in our lifetimes.

During its passage through Aquarius, beginning in the late 1990s, we have, of course, seen an explosion in technology, which has seemingly created more connectedness among all of us via the internet. Neptune, too, perennially acts to dissolve boundaries. It’s labeled the “Great Dissolver.”

On the shadow side, though, Neptune can also potentially foster addictions, dependencies, cover-ups and deception. Too, how many of us have become psychologically and physically enslaved to our various technological devices with Neptune in the sign of the water bearer? Maybe with Neptune leaving Aquarius, we will be able to gradually wean ourselves away from those devices.
