COSMIC WATCH:

“If you can dream it, you can do it.” Walt Disney

The Moon in regal Leo the Lion encourages us to “play it big” today. This might translate into our wanting to take bold strides in the direction of our dreams. The Sun’s empowering trine to transformational Pluto also puts the possibility of metamorphosis on our path. It additionally helps us to go in-depth with matters and it is also associated with creating more transparency.

How might it be in your best interests to be more open or transparent? Also, what might you want to remake or overhaul now?

BTW, when we had this same Sun-Pluto trine last year, President Obama released the “long-form” of his birth certificate, which certified his birth in the state of Hawaii. This was in response to ongoing accusations from some Republicans, including Donald Trump, that he was not born in the United States.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Astrology April 25, 2012: Mercury Squares Pluto

COSMIC WATCH:

With the Moon still nestled in “inquisitive” Gemini, gathering and disseminating information is a breeze for us now.  Although, with intellectual Mercury squaring “probing” Pluto (10:51 am EDT), the ruler of our subconscious, we are also more reluctant to simply take things at face value. All in all, it is probably a great day to play detective, or to dig beneath the surface.

BTW, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, had his natal Mercury closely conjunct investigative Pluto in his “behind the scenes” twelfth house, a part of our horoscopes that also figures in prominently with our imagination and karma. “Any truth is better than indefinite doubt.” Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Famous People with Mercury Square Pluto: Barbra Streisand, D.H. Lawrence (Yours truly also has her Mercury exactly square Pluto!)

How important is it to you that you be open and honest in your dealings with others? What elements have to be present before you can comfortably “show your cards” to another?

Enjoy your Wednesday! Happy sleuthing!

Astrology April 23, 2012: Sun Trines Mars

COSMIC WATCH:

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.” Dale Carnegie

With the “empowering” Sun trining “courageous” Mars (8:59 pm EDT), the planet of action and adventure, we are more inclined to test our personal limits today. Or raise the bar on our performance. Sun-Mars aspects are also historically linked with new beginnings and discoveries. For example, Ted Turner launched CNN on a day when the Sun in “communication” Gemini was exactly square to Mars in “skillful, perfecting” Virgo.

Too, Sun-Mars is an excellent catalyst for helping us get unstuck, as Mars rules our motivation or drive to succeed. When it is aligned with the Sun, which symbolizes our ego and deep sense of self, we usually have more of a well of self-confidence, enthusiasm, and willpower. Mars also governs our physical energy.

The Moon’s entrance into “curious” Gemini (1:05 pm EDT) additionally supplies us with a plethora of fresh ideas or perspectives today, which can always be very invigorating. Our ideas potentially hold so much power for us, don’t they? Sometimes, just one thought can change the trajectory of our lives forever when we choose to act on it.

What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

Famous People with Sun Trine Mars: Warren Beatty.

Enjoy your Monday!

Astrology April 15, 2012: Sun Opposes Saturn

14 Saturday Apr 2012

COSMIC WATCH:

The “illuminating” Sun opposes “taskmaster” Saturn. Normally with this influence we tend to adopt more of a serious mindset and focus on our perceived duties and responsibilities (or whatever our “socialized self” thinks it should be doing), which Saturn represents. If we do opt to go this route, and focus on what we view to be our obligations (or karma), instead of maybe indulging in more pleasurable pursuits, we may end up being quite productive and successful today, as Sun-Saturn can inspire us to be more disciplined and steadfast to see things through to the end.

This may also be a very good day to simply reflect upon the structures (relationships, daily practices, activities) that we have built up in our world and determine how they are either supporting or hindering us. If they do seem to be thwarting our progress now, or interfering perhaps with our desired vision of work/life balance for our lives, we may want to consider what steps we could take now to make our lives better and more fulfilling in the future.

Interestingly, last year when we had this same Sun-Saturn influence, President Obama’s presidential campaign announced that day that he was going to run for a second term in office. Too, Sun-Saturn often correlates with events, developments or perspectives that seem to be more “karmic” nature, or that seem to really resonate with our life purpose in some way.

On another level, sometimes with Sun-Saturn we may feel “cut off from others,” or simply wish to be left alone, as Saturn governs boundaries and our sense of separateness. Too, either scenario does not necessarily mean that we cannot have warm, intimate encounters now, if we so choose to do so, and are also willing to put ourselves out there on the line to make this possible. Too, it may even mean with Sun-Saturn that we come to a deeper understanding today of how valuable it can be for us to have set boundaries in our relationships as an extension of self-care.

Also, often with Sun-Saturn we are simply too critical of ourselves, too tuned into our perceived warts or blemishes and blind to our special strengths or assets. Additionally with Sun-Saturn we sometimes seek out older or more mature types to be around, with Saturn ruling father figures.  “I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.” Henry David Thoreau.

Astrology April 6, 2012: Full Moon in Libra

06 Friday Apr 2012

COSMIC WATCH:

“Speaking with kindness creates confidence, thinking with kindness creates profoundness, giving with kindness creates love.” Lao Tzu

How are you showing up for your relationships? Are you approaching them from a place of kindness, which Lao Tzu suggests engenders more love? Or are you perhaps showing up more from a place of fear? Demonstrating worry or skepticism are states of being that have been known to cause alienation or an erosion of love.

With today’s Full Moon in “relationship” Libra (3:19 pm EDT), the sign of the scales, which is also the sign of peace and diplomacy, we have a perfect chance to glean greater awareness of how it is that we tend to interact with others. Or how we are characteristically choosing to be present in our relationships, and how the nature of our being with others delicately dictates or threads the fabric and outcome of those interactions.

We may even want to pay closer attention to the matter of our physiology. Are we full of energy in the presence of others, or are we listless? Do we have enthusiasm in our voice when we speak, or do we sound half-hearted, like we would rather be someplace else? Too, what are we conveying to others through our body talk? Are we maybe saying one thing to them with our words, but then communicating something entirely different with our physical presence? How can we explain this gap to ourselves, and to others? What is it all about, and how is it impacting our relationships? All possibly excellent “food for fodder” topics with this “balancing” Libra Moon.

This Full Moon in social Libra is also ruled by sweet Venus, which is presently in curious Gemini and square to both assertive Mars and elusive Neptune. It could be that there is, indeed, some ambivalence about our passions and desires now. Also, perhaps a tendency to look at others through the proverbial “rose-colored glasses,” a dreamy state which often carries more of a negative connotation for us – although, a rose in bloom is a really beautiful thing to behold. So maybe a little illusion about others now, isn’t such a bad thing after all!

“It doesn’t matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was.” Anne Sexton

Happy Full Moon blessings!

Astrology April 4, 2012: Mercury Stations Direct

COSMIC WATCH:

“You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.”  James Allen

Where have your thoughts been, the past three weeks, with Mercury “the thinker” retrograde? Have you maybe been reconsidering recent decisions, or reflecting on your goals? Today with Mercury stationing direct in “intuitive” Pisces we finally get cosmic clearance to begin acting on what we have been ruminating about lately. Mercury will also be in its “shadow phase” until April 22.

Meanwhile, the Moon in “solutions-oriented” Virgo today also prompts us to evaluate matters logically, although a morning trine to expansive Jupiter in Taurus (9:35 am EDT) does supply us with an overview of the big picture as well. Additionally, the Moon in Virgo is perennially our monthly invitation to “tidy things up.” Have nothing in your home that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful. —William Morris

Enjoy your Wednesday!

COSMIC WATCH:

“A beautiful thing happens when we start paying attention to each other. It is by participating more in your relationship that you breathe life into it.” Steve Maraboli.

It may also be a bit easier for us to mingle now, or at least to strike up conversation with each other, as “connection queen” Venus enters “communication” Gemini today, a sign where she is not only blessed with the gift of gab, but is also more naturally curious about other people. Venus here has a breezier style in relationships and often feels most comfortable when things are kept casual or friendly. Venus will stay in Gemini until August 7.

Famous People with Venus in Gemini:  Russell Crowe, Sandra Bullock, John Goodman, Cher.

“I don’t need a man. But I’m happier with one. I like to have someone I can touch and squeeze and kiss. But I don’t fold up and die if I don’t have a man around.” Cher

What do you think inspires a “spirit of communication” in relationships?

Astrology April 2, 2012: Moon is in Leadership Leo

COSMIC WATCH:

With the Moon in “self-confident” Leo the Lion today we want to be focusing on our strengths or positive qualities. We also want to be looking for these same things in others. Finding a way to praise or lift others up is the hallmark of a true leader.

“A boss creates fear, a leader confidence. A boss fixes blame, a leader corrects mistakes. A boss knows all, a leader asks questions. A boss makes work drudgery, a leader makes it interesting. A boss is interested in himself or herself, a leader is interested in the group.” Russell H. Ewing

Famous People with Moon in Leo: Barbra Streisand, Queen Latifah

Enjoy your Monday!
