COSMIC WATCH:

“Love must be as much a light, as it is a flame.” – Henry David Thoreau 

Lovable Venus stations retrograde at 24 degrees of Gemini (10:33 am EDT). It will remain retrograde until June 27. During Venus’s apparent backward dance in the sky we have a chance to carefully reflect upon and critique all the areas that Venus governs: our romantic life; the way we socialize or interact with others; the values we espouse and hold dear to our heart; the aspects of our life that provide us with pleasure or beauty. Venus also presides over our attitudes towards money and possessions.

Traditionally, the retrograde phase of a planet is a time when it is normally advised to postpone any important decision-making regarding the affairs ruled by that planet, as the theory is that the final verdict or takeaway on a matter will not be known until the planet resumes direct motion again.

Venus goes retrograde every 18 months. The last time that it went retrograde in Gemini was on May 17, 2004. Fascinatingly, back then on that very date, is when the state of Massachusetts issued the first, fully legal, same-sex marriage licenses in the United States (Venus rules marriage).

Now once again, just days prior to Venus going retrograde in this same sign, the sign of the twins, more history has been made on this same issue with President Obama openly coming out in support of same-sex marriage, the first U.S. president to do so.

COSMIC WATCH:

What is hidden from view piques our interest today. We are also willing to dig deeper to ferret out the truth. Excellent day for research or investigation as our mind has a sharper edge to it. This is also a time when we may want to do some inner work, perhaps examining past issues.

Additionally, our words and ideas may carry more of a potent impact. We may also hea or/read things now that touch us deeply.

Famous People with Mercury trine Pluto: Larry King, Brad Pitt, Ralph Nader

Astrology May 13, 2012: Sun Conjuncts Jupiter

COSMIC WATCH:

The empowering Sun in Taurus is having its annual conjunction with generous Jupiter (9:23 am EDT), a planet that is often billed as the Cosmic Santa. Ideally, this configuration will foster in us a greater sense of optimism and well-being. This is a fabulous day to dream big and envision the world as our oyster.

Communicator Mercury is also trining energizer Mars (4:54 pm EDT) allowing us to express ourselves persuasively with words. This is a wonderful aspect for lively conversation and also for strategic thinking, especially with Mars in analytical Virgo.

The Moon’s immersion into compassionate Pisces also makes it timely to display forgiveness and mercy. Extending the olive branch may be the right thing to do now – especially since Sun-Jupiter can also help us to see the best in others. “Forgiveness is like faith. You have to keep reviving it.” Mason Cooley

Famous People with Sun conjunct Jupiter:  Garth Brooks, Mick Jagger.

BTW, Jagger will be hosting the season finale of “Saturday Night Live” next Saturday. He is also slated to perform on the show. Jagger has his expansive Sun-Jupiter conjunction in entertainment Leo, which should come as no surprise. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Rolling Stones.

Astrology May 10, 2012: Mercury Sextiles Neptune

COSMIC WATCH:

Thinker Mercury’s sextile to “fantasy” Neptune (5:59 pm EDT) adds a dreamy quality to our evening.  It’s also positive for projects that engage our imagination. This aspect can additionally stimulate our psychic ability, as well as provoke interest in more mystical or spiritual matters. Sometimes, too, with this influence we experience very vivid night dreams, some of which may even be prophetic (I recently had such a dream with the Sun opposite my Neptune). We may want to keep a notepad and pen by our bed tonight…just in case. I know if I don’t jot down my dreams, I’m apt to forget them. “Man is a genius when he is dreaming.” Akira Kurosawa

In the News: President Obama publicly came out in favor of same-sex marriage on Wednesday, reversing his earlier position. He is the first U.S. president to go on record supporting gay marriage.  Interestingly, in his horoscope now he has Mars, the planet of action, exactly conjunct his natal Pluto, which symbolizes rebirth and transformation. This conjunction is also occurring in his seventh house, the sector of the horoscope that governs marriage.

Mars-Pluto is a very potent influence that can elevate a person’s level of intensity and also make them very determined to achieve their ends. Metaphorically, it can depict someone “going to battle” for what they believe in. It can also coincide with a person making a sweeping change or overhaul in their life. Sometimes this revamping is necessary because there is additional clarity now about a matter. What perhaps served the person before is likely no longer working, so the person may feel that they have almost no choice but to alter their course.

What are your thoughts about same-sex marriage? Do you think it should be legal?

Famous Birthdays May 10: Bono, Rick Santorum, Fred Astaire.  Also, “yours truly” has amazingly made it to another year. 🙂

Astrology May 7, 2012: Moon Trines Uranus

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon in philosophical Sagittarius opens the doorway for trying on new perspectives. This is also a time when it may be easier to straddle a “big picture” point of view. Moon trine experimental Uranus (8:32 am EDT) also makes a case for intuitively going with the flow of things to see what emerges. It could be that a “whale of an idea” suddenly ushers forth. “All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without benefit of experience.” Henry Miller

How could you be more spontaneous and how might it benefit you? How do you know when to go with your intuition?

Famous People with Moon trine Uranus: Larry King, Bill Cosby, Jim Henson, T.S. Eliot, Jamie Lee Curtis

Enjoy your Monday!

COSMIC WATCH:

Luna’s monthly passage through perfecting Virgo encourages self-improvement, as well as self-care. Her flowing trines to renewing Pluto and the empowering Sun also potentially helps us to identify and zero in on our strengths, which will hopefully make for a successful day.

“Success is achieved by developing our strengths, not by eliminating our weaknesses.” – Marilyn vos Savant

Famous People with Moon in Virgo: Madonna, Ingrid Bergman

What do you think are the strongest links in your chain?

What activities provide you with energy?

Research shows that often when we engage our strengths, our energy increases, especially when we’re doing something that we enjoy.

Hope you enjoy your Tuesday!
