“As soon as we start putting our thoughts into words and sentences everything gets distorted, language is just no damn good—I use it because I have to, but I don’t put any trust in it. We never understand each other.” Marcel Duchamp

COSMIC WATCH:

Retrograde Mercury square Saturn, Moon in Libra

The proverbial saying “silence is golden” may be an effective, diplomatic strategy (Libra Moon) to avail ourselves of today, particularly if we find that we’re in an awkward or difficult situation in which we’re just not mentally connecting with somebody, for whatever reason, and we intuitively sense that, no matter what we do or say, we’re likely to remain at an impasse (Saturn). It’s like one of the roads of the two-way conversation is closed, so what would be the point in trying to journey down it?

Also, it could be that if we’re willing to wait it out or redirect our focus, the road will re-open again shortly, and the conversational flow with be smoother. Too, often there’s great wisdom and reassurance in simply honoring the natural rhythm of things versus feeling that we must force issues in order to meet some arbitrary timetable or expectation of ours. “Speech is for the convenience of those who are hard of hearing; but there are many fine things which we cannot say if we have to shout.” Henry David Thoreau

Who, to you, epitomizes the perfect communicator?

“We’re very physical creatures and we worry about how we look sometimes more than our spiritual selves.” Smokey Robinson

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Astrology February 18, 2014: Peace Within – Sun Enters Pisces

“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.” Carl Sagan

COSMIC WATCH:

Sun Enters Pisces, Moon in Libra

The Sun’s ingress into contemplative Pisces – the last sign of the zodiac – reminds us of our universal roots, where there are no boundaries or divisions, only an enduring interconnectedness with all life forms. The Moon in relationship Libra eloquently restates this “togetherness” theme, as does the Nodal Axis shift today, from Scorpio-Taurus into Libra-Aries.

Too, it’s often tempting to think of the concept of unity as something that begins ‘out there.’ That only when others get their act together will there finally be a chance for all of us to peacefully co-exist. Of course, in reality, it doesn’t appear to work that way; unity, seemingly, has always been an inside job. Something that can only come about once we have surrendered our inner turmoil and supplanted it with a reassuring, unyielding peace within. A state of being that allows us to love ourselves and others, unconditionally.

Astrology February 16, 2014: Speak Your Piece – Mercury Trine Mars

“Much unhappiness has come into the world because of bewilderment and things left unsaid.” Fyodor Dostoyevsky

COSMIC WATCH:

Retrograde Mercury trine Mars, Moon in Virgo

We’re more confident in rallying behind our ideas today, or wanting to say what’s on our mind. Also, a positive time for buckling down and tackling projects that require attention to detail, including those that involve perfecting a skill or craft. May also want to put editing on that list.

Too, Mercury-Mars is a plus for public speaking, although it appears that the majority of us will probably be choosing to pass on that particular option, if statistics are correct. It’s estimated that approximately 75% of us suffer from ‘glossophobia,’ a technical term given for the severe fear of public speaking.  In fact, public speaking is deemed to be the greatest fear a person can have, even surpassing the fear of death! Why is that, I wonder? Could it be because most of us fear humiliation? Or, is it because we lack faith in our ideas? What do you think? Are you with the majority here?

Astrology February 15, 2014: Shift Perspectives – Mercury Conjunct Sun

“To change ourselves effectively, we first have to change our perceptions.” Stephen R. Covey

COSMIC WATCH:

Intellectual Mercury (retrograde) conjuncts the Sun in “innovative” Aquarius, an aspect that can help us to shift or adjust our perspectives. Sort of like looking through a kaleidoscope and rotating the angle of the lens, we are more receptive, maybe even eager, to sampling different points of view, or taking in new information.  The Moon’s entrance into “analytical, logical” Virgo (2:58 am EST) also adds some positive foundational glue here. Virgo is one of two signs ruled by the planet Mercury (the other is Gemini).

“A misleading perception or false belief is increasingly being perpetuated that the unconscious or the intuitive is all that really matters in any spiritual endeavor, and that the conscious, rational, logical, analytical mind is the mortal enemy of spiritual awareness and soul growth.” Anthon St. Maarten

Of course, with Mercury retrograde, it’s possible that we may later change our mind about something that we decide today, but instead of recoiling at this possibility (a draining perspective), why not celebrate the fact that we have the power to choose our illustrious thoughts in the first place? Such a wonderful option that many of us take for granted.

Where do you think you might presently be stuck in your thinking?
