“You will never feel truly satisfied by work until you are satisfied by life.” Heath Schuck, The Working Mom Manifesto

COSMIC WATCH:

A Full Moon in “maternal” Cancer tonight (11:52 pm EST) illuminates the polarity between our personal or inner world (home, family, and roots) and our public or outer life (career, duties, and ambitions), the latter signified by the opposing Sun in “paternal” Capricorn.

This nurturing Full Moon is a chance for us to get clearer on how we can successfully integrate both of these realms so that we can bring more enjoyment into our lives. Too, with the frenetic pace of daily living, it’s often easy for us to look upon life as something merely to be endured, instead of as a vehicle for self-actualization and fulfillment.

This feelings-oriented Cancerian lunation predisposes us to go within; to perform a “gut check” on ourselves, regarding where we’re at and how we got there. Feminine, protective Cancer, the sign of the womb and mother, has a very keen survival instinct and always knows what is in its best interests to do to sustain its existence. Included in the equation now may be a growing awareness of the need for administering liberal amounts of self-care to ourselves as a way to start thriving in the future. “Rest and self-care are so important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel.” Eleanor Brown

This nostalgic Cancer Full Moon may also find us journeying down “memory lane” to re-connect with, or reflect upon, our familial past. In general, there may also be movement or developments in affairs pertaining to family or our home life. “For in every adult there dwells the child that was, and in every child there lies the adult that will be.” John Connolly.

This lunation may additionally be a good time to assuage or heal old wounds as we have benevolent, philosophical Jupiter retrograde conjunct the Moon and wise Saturn trining it from transformative Scorpio. The Moon and Saturn can also help us to coolly detach from our feelings and see things as they are instead of how we merely wish them to be. On another level, this trine is positive for re-organizing our domestic environment to make it more open and efficient, with Saturn injecting the minimalist or utilitarian influences.

Overall, Full Moons are a time for release, a time when we begin to empty out our chalices. We also may see matters suddenly coming to a head or climax. “You leave old habits behind by starting out with the thought ‘I release the need for this in my life’”. Wayne Dyer

What activities could you minimize now that don’t add to your sense of personal well-being or professional fulfillment? What makes you feel nurtured and protected? What comes up for your when you think of your home, your family?

Full Moon Blessings to you!

Astrology January 9, 2014: Contentment – Moon in Taurus

“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” Oprah Winfrey

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon’s passage through “slow-moving, sustaining” Taurus inspires us to find contentment in the moment, in the simple things of life. It fosters an acceptance of where we are in our journey. The Dalai Lama teaches that when we are “discontented,” we want “more, more, more.” But, when we reflect contentment, we can say to ourselves, “Oh yes – I already have everything that I really need.” Contentment also provides us with the strength and wherewithal to continue on our journey; it replenishes our chalice.

This evening’s lunar trine to transforming Pluto (7:27 pm EST) also gives us a chance to clear away toxic emotions that have been holding us hostage. Too, it’s potentially a very sensual influence that can serve to unleash our passions, something that also naturally occurs when we are living fully in the moment. “A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them.” Carl Jung

How would you characterize a “contented life?”

Famous January 9 Birthdays:  Richard Nixon, Joan Baez, John Denver.

“Always remember others may hate you but those who hate you don’t win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.” Richard Nixon, in his White House farewell

Enjoy your Thursday!

Astrology January 8, 2014 – Mars Squares Jupiter

“Once one becomes a man, he can and must make his own decisions. But I do offer warning. Even a good thing can become destructive if taken to excess.” Brandon Sanderson

COSMIC WATCH:

Knowing when to go forward, and when to retreat, could get a bit more complicated for us today with “assertive” Mars making an exact square to “exuberant” Jupiter (5:36 pm EST). Often when these two planets align, we find ourselves going a little overboard with things. Of course, the fact that the Moon is also in “unbridled” Aries, until later this evening, doesn’t really make our discernment here, any easier. (The Moon enters “stabilizing” Taurus at 9:24 pm EST).

On the plus side, this planetary pairing can serve as a mighty elixir for finally goading some of us out of our self-imposed shells, or comfort zones, and into taking much-needed action on our behalf.  Mars-Jupiter aspects have been paired with acts of courage or bravery. “Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim.” Nora Ephron

If you felt no fear today, what would you do?

“I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.” Mahatma Ghandi

COSMIC WATCH:

With the Moon passing through “action-oriented” Aries today, and igniting the entire Cardinal Grand Cross, this is an excellent time for proceeding at full throttle with pivotal projects that we have perhaps had on the back burner, for a while, but still feel passionate about.

Intellectual Mercury’s conjunction with sweet Venus in “ambitious” Capricorn (5:02 pm EST) also helps to foster a spirit of cooperation in business and the workplace, as well as endowing us with a greater appreciation of love and beauty in general. “I don’t think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains.” Anne Frank

Famous January 7 Birthdays: Nicolas Cage, William Peter Blatty, Kenny Loggins.“Procrastination is what we often call ‘resistance.’” William Peter Blatty

Enjoy your Tuesday!

Astrology January 6, 2014: Seeing the “Little Picture” – Mercury Sextiles Saturn

“Much of life appears mundane at the time. Yet in God’s providence every moment includes significant details arranged by His divine hand.” Dillon Burroughs

COSMIC WATCH:

With the new year only six days old, some of us are perhaps still in the process of fleshing out or maybe modifying the finer details of our resolutions or personal vision for ourselves for 2014. Too, for those of us who may fall into this illustrious camp of late bloomers, we appear to have a special helping hand on our side today in the guise of mental Mercury sextile exacting Saturn. This planetary aspect can help us to focus on the nitty-gritty versus the broader scope of a matter. It is also very good for concentration and for seeking out advice from experts or from those whose opinions we value.  “A good leader will seek the wisdom of others. After all, no man is an island!” Jim George

Also, the Moon’s ingress into trailblazing Aries (2:45 pm EST) helps to channel our inner pioneer and inspires us to take bold action on matters.

What is perhaps the best piece of advice that you have ever received? Too, what advice do you wish you maybe had received earlier?

Famous January 6 Birthdays:  Joan of Arc, Nancy Lopez, Loretta Young, Steven Forrest (astrologer).

“Act, and God will act.” Joan of Arc

Enjoy your Monday! Be safe and warm.

Astrology January 1, 2014: A New Moon in Capricorn

“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.” Henry David Thoreau

COSMIC WATCH:

With it being the first day of a brand new year, many of us are excited about writing a fresh, new chapter in our lives and also, perhaps, very hopeful or optimistic that we will be able to make tangible traction toward our dreams in 2014. Too, when some of us take a moment to look back in the rear view mirror at 2013, and gaze upon some our perceived “failures” or “fiascos” of the past year – the Neptunian dreams that maybe woefully went south – we may be tempted to scratch our heads and wonder to ourselves, “What in the world were we thinking by attempting such ludicrous or hare-brained things in the first place?” What do they say, that hindsight is always 20/20? 🙂

But, what if we cut ourselves a bit of slack here? And, instead of maybe regarding some of our so-called “missteps” or “blunders” as evidence of our towering and undeniable stupidity, or naivete – or whatever disparaging description that we opt to attach to our humble self – and chose instead to characterize these “well-intentioned, past creative renderings” of ours as simply “castles in the air” that just haven’t been given their foundational wings yet, as Thoreau suggested that we do? Maybe this type of morale boosting, “bigger picture point view” would duly inspire us to non-sheepishly resurrect (Pluto) some of our former, unfulfilled dreams in 2014. Dreams that are still likely very worthwhile for us to pursue, if only because, despite all of our best efforts to repudiate, silence or distance ourselves from them, they continue to keep tugging away at our heartstrings for completion. Victor Hugo once said that, “There is nothing like a dream to create a future.” Perhaps our dreams are also a vital part of our basic survival instinct, as they motivate us to keep going, and going, and going – kind of like the Energizer bunny.

Too, many of us are also likely ready now to break out of the gate – to chase after that Energizer bunny  – with eight planets (including the Sun and Moon) in the initiating, action-packed Cardinal signs, as well as a New Moon in persistent Capricorn occurring today. This is also the first time that we have reportedly had a New Moon on the first day of January in 19 years.

Capricorn is an earth sign that is associated with employing practical, strategic measures to obtain its goals. It is all about putting a solid foundational structure in place as a springboard for realizing our dreams or agendas. As a sign, Capricorn is focused on the outward contributions that we as individuals are each able to make in society.  Capricorn is symbolized by the adaptive mountain goat.  Too, New Moons are all about new beginnings and setting our intentions for the future. Also, with each New Moon, we are attempting to internally integrate the qualities of the sign in which the lunation is occurring.

This New Moon is very powerful because it is part of a galvanizing grand cardinal cross. It is also conjunct “makeover” Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth, so hopefully we will be able to triumphantly “rise from the ashes” again and, like the phoenix, courageously reclaim some of our forsaken or abandoned dreams.  Pluto’s activated ray is also positive for helping us to maintain a single-minded focus. Additionally, Pluto energy is very good for helping us sort out what’s worthy of saving or salvaging from the past, and what should be purged or pitched for good – an especially valuable ability to have in our toolkit at the start of another year. “You may be the only person left who believes in you, but it’s enough. It takes just one star to pierce a universe of darkness. Never give up.” Richelle E. Goodrich

Famous January 1 Birthdays: J. Edgar Hoover, Betsy Ross, Paul Revere, J.D. Salinger. “I’d just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it’s crazy, but that’s the only thing I’d really like to be. I know it’s crazy.” J.D. Salinger.

Happy New Year!
