COSMIC WEATHER:

“The most confused you will ever get is when you try to convince your heart and spirit of something your mind knows is a lie.” – Shannon L. Adler

Our Monday gets underway with the waxing Moon in “keeping it real” Capricorn! Employing tried-and-true methods or strategies that have delivered solid results for us in the past may feel like the best way to play the day.

Luna will also be having its monthly meetup with intense Pluto this evening (6:11 pm), which may prime us to go after our desires with increased passion or focus.

Moon-Pluto energy is also viewed as a good time for de-weeding; taking out the trash; recycling or renovating; going antiquing/treasure-hunting; performing archeological digs.

Numerologically, today (8-12-2019) reduces down to both a “3” and a “5”. The “3” aspect suggests some reverence for traditionalism or history. It can also incline us to want to ambitiously climb to the top of the totem pole! The “5” element also potentially injects an impulsive quality to the day, and a changeability.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY:

On August 12, 1972, the last American combat troops leave Vietnam, marking the end of direct U.S. military involvement in the conflict.

Quite notably that day, astrologically, assertive Mars – symbolizing war and the military – was at 29 degrees of authoritative Leo and forming an exact waning trine to philosophical Jupiter Rx at 29 degrees of futuristic Sagittarius; Sagittarius is also associated with foreign lands or cultures.

In astrology, when planets are at 29 degrees of a sign they are viewed as potentially being at a critical juncture, including suggesting more of an urgency to wrap things up.

The waning trine itself also points to matters (the Martian military campaign) nearing an end and, correspondingly, moving in a new direction (Jupiter).

Too, with the end of U.S. combat forces in Vietnam, Pluto, symbolizing dramatic makeovers and shifts in power and focus, was notably enthroned at zero degrees/or the initiating degree of diplomatic, balancing Libra.

“Television brought the brutality of war into the comfort of the living room. Vietnam was lost in the living rooms of America — not on the battlefields of Vietnam.” – Marshall McLuhan
