Cosmic Weather:

Colossal traffic on the cosmic superhighway today! 🙂

The Leo Sun squares Uranus in Taurus (8:53 am) – It’s possible that we might be thrown a few curveballs with this aspect now. This influence tends to test our ability/willingness to make or accept sudden changes in our lives, including such things as tolerating simple disruptions to our daily routines or schedules.

On another level, we may find ourselves wanting to change things up in such a way that is typically uncharacteristic for us – stemming perhaps from feelings of boredom or seemingly a pervasive need for more stimulation or excitement in our lives.

Generally, Uranian energy is more roguish and rebellious by nature and often operates with lightning speed. Too, because the Sun also symbolizes, among other things, authority figures, we may find ourselves more at odds now with directives/policies issued by higher-ups or those in charge.

On a collective level, this Sun-Uranus influence also sometimes correlates with a greater chance for open rebellion, strikes, walkouts, etc. as those being ruled/employed weigh in to voice or offer up their opposition/input to things.

Additionally, on another level, some astrologers often liken Uranus’s activated ray to a period when we are privy to consciousness downloads that can raise our vibration. Part of this may be because Uranus is also considered the higher octave to intellectual Mercury and governs intuition.

We also have the Full Moon in (Uranus-ruled) Aquarius tonight (9:36 pm), which occurs when the Leo Sun forms an exact opposition with Luna. Overall, with this configuration, we are seeking to integrate the urge for individual expression and group expression. This may coincide with a desire for such things as social activism or involvement in humanitarian concerns.

Full Moons also deliver results, culminations, and revelations. They are also a time when our New Moon intentions are brought into manifestation.

Luna also conjuncts cautious Saturn in Aquarius shortly after this Full Moon (exact tomorrow at 1:58 am). This conjunction also re-emphasizes the ongoing Saturn-Uranus square, which symbolizes, among other things, a changing of the guard, so to speak, pitting the old established way of doing things up against the new or cutting-edge.

On another level, the more concentrated Moon-Saturn aspect also favors such things as data collection, organizing database systems, and evaluating various technologies and information.

Too, sandwiched between the Sun-Uranus square and Full Moon today,  lovable Venus will shift into playful, warmhearted Leo (2:30 pm) for a three-week stay, while initiating Mars, in soothing Taurus, will sextile transcendental Neptune in Pisces (5:44 pm), with the latter aspect, perhaps, possibly making us feel a bit like we are being taken on a magic carpet ride of sorts, with Mars-Neptune often introducing the chance for some “out of this world” or otherwise unusual type of experiences our way. We may also want to pay closer attention to any synchronicities occurring now as they might impart very special meaning to us.

Astrology August 9, 2022: Venus Opposes Pluto

Cosmic Weather:

On this second Tuesday of August, we may want to consider holding an impromptu seance to see if Sigmund Freud is possibly available for a quick consult regarding the latest perplexities of our ever-entangled love life..:)

Venus in Cancer opposes Pluto Rx in Capricorn (1:18 am) – While this more intense aspect may arouse our passions, it can also ignite power and control issues within relationships as well as conjure up our jealousies and suspicions. By nature, Venus in Cancer tends to feel or take things very personally; it can also be very clingy or smothering. Paired with forceful, obsessive Pluto, there’s a possibility now that all this neediness goes into overdrive! This tendency to hold on too tightly can also expand beyond people to include things or situations.

“If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, it is yours forever. If it doesn’t, then it was never meant to be.” – Unknown author

On the positive or redemptive side, this transit may tip us off to some hidden or submerged shadow stuff inside ourselves that we are able to, upon reflection, deftly transmute into shiny nuggets of gold.

On This Day in History: On August 9, 1974, Richard Nixon resigns as President of the United States – in wake of the Watergate scandal – and Vice President Gerald Ford swears the oath of office to take his place as the 38th US President.

Among the astrological aspects that day: activator Mars in censoring, corrective Virgo was separating one degree from an exact square to dissolving Neptune – the planet that also rules scandals and deception. (Squares bring about action.) The authoritative Leo Sun (which symbolizes leaders or rulers) was also exactly quincunx to Jupiter in surrendering Pisces, suggesting an adjustment in power. Jupiter can also underscore ethical or moral matters, lapses in judgment, and overstepping boundaries.

*All times EDT

Born On This Day: Chris Haney, a Canadian journalist, in 1950, in Welland, Ontario (d. 2010). Haney created the board game “Trivial Pursuit.”

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology August 7, 2022: Venus Trines Neptune, Mars Squares Saturn

Cosmic Weather:

On this seventh day of the week – and seventh of August – we’re seemingly treated to a mixed bag:

Venus in Cancer trines Neptune Rx (12:43 pm) – Potentially a nice dreamy romantic aspect. This influence inspires us to look for the best in others. It’s also a configuration that can incline us to want to get lost in something as an escape. Too, creativity may be kindled or enhanced. (Many artists and musicians tend to have Venus-Neptune aspects prominent, including singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks.)

Waxing Moon in Sagittarius trines the Sun in Leo (2:21 pm) – This flowing aspect ideally helps us to achieve more of an inner/outer balance. Our ego needs and desire for accomplishment are more readily met. Nurturing ourselves and others may also come easier now.

Mars in Taurus squares Saturn Rx in Aquarius ( 3:57 pm) – Hands down, this aspect is the big elephant in the room today! Among other things, it often forces us to slow down – or to at least go at things at a much more measured pace. Success can be had now but this is more likely only if we are willing to put in the hard work that taskmaster Saturn requires. If we are, we may find that we are able to build something of real stature or value now that is long-lasting. Too, trying to simply wing things or rest largely on our laurels will likely just send us to the back of the class now. On another level, this aspect may also make us more aware of how our fears may be holding us back. It may also alert us to the finite nature of our physical energy and how we may need to guard it.

“If people knew how hard I had to work to gain my mastery, it would not seem so wonderful at all.” – Michelangelo Buonarroti

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On August 7, 1782, George Washington creates the Purple Heart medal (original name Badge of Military Merit) as commander of the Continental Army.

Astrologically, that day, warrior Mars was conjunct the Sun in commanding Leo. Mars was also trining Jupiter and Saturn both conjunct in philosophical, freedom-loving Sagittarius. Mars trine Jupiter tends to greatly inspire or ignite our bravery and ideals, while Mars trine Saturn often rewards us for our past efforts.

The modern Purple Heart was first issued on February 22, 1932 – the bicentennial of George Washington’s birthday. General Douglas MacArthur, Army chief of staff at the time, received the first Purple Heart.

Born On This Day: Radio entertainer and writer Garrison Keillor. Perhaps best known for the public-radio show A Prairie Home Companion. Keillor, who was born in Anoka, Minnesota, turns 80 today.

“That’s the news from Lake Woebegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.” –Garrison Keillor, signing off.

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology August 6, 2022: Scorpio Moon Sextiles Pluto

06 Saturday Aug 2022

Cosmic Weather:

On this sixth day of the week – and sixth day of the month – we have Waxing Luna, in penetrating Scorpio, sextile to Pluto Rx in Capricorn (7:24 am), Scorpio’s modern-day co-ruler of the sign (along with Mars).

This aspect tends to introduce more intense emotions and feelings. Things that have been tucked away deep inside of us are now surfacing and clamoring for the exit doors. Ideally, this exodus process can be very healing. It can also be a good time to attempt to locate what has been lost or misplaced as our inner detective is now hot on the trail.

Too, Luna will go void-of-course after this sextile and remain so until she enters adventurous Sagittarius (12:39 pm) where she will hang out and, no doubt, copiously opine for the rest of the weekend. Also, we may even see preachiness crescendo to new heights when the Sadge Moon squares off with mental Mercury in persnickety, snarky Virgo this evening (8:18 pm). Additionally, Moon-Mercury tends to put our thoughts and feelings at odds.

“Don’t allow your mind to tell your heart what to do. The mind gives up easily.” – Paul Coelho

Born On This Day: Alexander Fleming, Scottish bacteriologist (invented penicillin; Nobel Prize 1945). He was born in Lochfield, Scotland on August 6, 1881 (d. 1955).

“For the birth of something new, there has to be a happening. Newton saw an apple fall; James Watt watched a kettle boil; Rontgen fogged some photographic plates. And these people knew enough to translate ordinary happenings into something new…”

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology August 5, 2022: First Quarter Moon in Scorpio

05 Friday Aug 2022

Cosmic Weather:

On this jobs-reporting Friday in the U.S.  – and the very first Friday of August – we are greeted by a First Quarter Moon, as the celebrity Leo Sun squares off with angst-filled Luna in Scorpio (7:07 am). This phase of the Moon occurs when Luna reaches 50% of her illumination – or appears half full in the sky.

At this time of the lunar cycle, we may be feeling some unease inside ourselves and feel compelled to take some kind of corrective or re-orienting action to right the spaceship, so to speak, especially with respect to what was conceived at the Leo New Moon (i.e. our monthly vision for ourselves).

Luna’s increasing light makes it more possible for us to see now some of the kinks or vulnerable points in that original design that may need to be purged or expunged in order to make this whole thing fly by the time of the Full Moon in aviation Aquarius, on August 11th.

Too, the First Quarter Moon can also bring to light other issues, and hidden tensions, that may force us to pay more attention to what is happening, including possibly highlighting some inner conflicts that we may feel regarding our need for outward recognition from others for what we are generating or putting out there. For instance, we may question whether we are doing the right thing with some project, or maybe think about possibly changing our approach.

Additionally, today’s eliminating Scorpio Moon is an excellent time to do some decluttering of objects we no longer need.

“I felt that days, weeks, months, and years of my life were wasted by the removal of stuff. There were more important things I would rather have been doing. But I continued, and eventually, I felt lighter and freer than I had ever felt in the years of big houses with each room filled to the brim.” – Lisa J. Schultz

*All times EDT

Born On This Day: Neil Armstrong, American X-15 pilot and astronaut – first man on the Moon (Gemini 8, Apollo 11) on August 5, 1930, in Wapakoneta Ohio, (d. 2012).

“It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.” – Neil Armstrong.

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology August 4, 2022: Mercury Enters Virgo

Cosmic Weather:

We may be more honed in on dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s, in the next few weeks, as Mercury, the planet of communication, intellect, memory, and travel enters precise, analytical Virgo today (2:58 am), one of two signs that it rules (the other is Gemini). This is one of the best placements for the Winged Messenger as it gives our mental faculties quickness and a critical edge.

Too, one thing I’ve discovered: when we do start paying closer attention to the myriad details of the things around us we often find that the world that we thought we so intimately knew is really, in many cases, vastly different than the one we have fabricated in our heads. It’s like the long paper trail never ends! 🙂

This also hints at the possible shadow side of Mercury in Virgo: that we become so consumed now by the little things that we fail to see the big (perplexing) picture. Still, though, Mercury in Virgo can be very useful in helping us to navigate and manage many of the practicalities of day-to-day living as it makes us focus on what’s right before us.

“Everything made by human hands looks terrible under magnification–crude, rough, and asymmetrical. But in nature every bit of life is lovely. And the more magnification we use, the more details are brought out, perfectly formed, like endless sets of boxes within boxes.” – Roman Vishniac

Mercury will remain in Virgo until August 25th but will re-enter Virgo late September due to a Mercury retrograde period. (More on that later.)

Waxing Luna also shifts into Scorpio today (7:47 am) motivating us to get to the bottom of things.

“A change is brought about because ordinary people do extraordinary things.”

Astrology August 3, 2022: Moon Squares Venus, Trines Saturn

03 Wednesday Aug 2022

Cosmic Weather:

Luna continues in diplomatic Libra today. She also remains in her Waxing Crescent phase presently displaying 30% illumination. This phase is a transitional period that starts after the New Moon and lasts until the First Quarter. Astrologically, this is perceived to be an excellent time to be laser-focused on advancing the intentions that we set during last week’s New Moon in Leo.

Luna squares Venus in Cancer this afternoon (1:54 pm). This more social aspect poises us to want to be around people we like, doing things that we enjoy. On the shadow side, our feelings and desires could conflict a bit with our relationships, which could possibly distort our perceptions. One way to perhaps neutralize or turn this around may be to listen to what others are saying instead of imagining things in our heads. Or we could simply ask for some clarification about what is being said.

The Moon in Libra’s trine to Saturn in Aquarius (6:28 pm) tends to redirect our focus and may find us seeking out moments of quiet reflection or solitude. We tend to be less dependent on others for our feelings of well-being or validation now because we are more attuned to our inner reserves of strength and security. Accordingly, it may be a very good time to evaluate our relationships and our relationship needs.

“The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.” – Ernest Hemingway

Born On This Day: Tony Bennett [Benedetto], American Grammy and Emmy Award-winning pop and jazz singer (“I Left My Heart in San Francisco”; “Steppin’ Out With My Baby”), and painter, born in Long Island City, Astoria, New York. Tony turns 96 today.

“It sounds so simple, but if you just be yourself, you’re different than anyone else.” – Tony Bennett

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology August 2, 2022: Libra Moon/Venus Sextile Triple Conjunction

02 Tuesday Aug 2022

Cosmic Weather:

There seems to be a general consensus among many of us that aiming to strike a balance, in all that we do, is key to having a healthy and contented life. The Persian poet Rumi once opined over a thousand years ago:

“Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralyzed.”

Astrologically, Libra – symbolized by the scales – depicts that balance, and very early this morning, Waxing Luna – often thought to be a barometer of our ever-shifting emotions and public sentiment – gently dovetailed into this seventh sign of the zodiac (12:06 am), where she will, no doubt, try to work her special brand of magic and diplomacy for all of us over the next couple of days, attempting to keep everything on a copacetic even keel.

No doubt, too, Luna’s also closely eyeing Mars, Uranus, the North Node – and US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi – all conjunct in the saddle, in unflinching Taurus the bull, headed over, this morning, to Taipei, Taiwan. Reportedly, they will all be graciously escorted into the country by a fighter jet! Keeping fingers crossed, though, that Libra’s ruler, social Venus in nurturing Cancer, which is harmoniously sextiling Mars, Uranus, and the North Node today, will ultimately help everyone to maybe channel their inner Emily Post and, accordingly, mind their p’s and q’s.

“Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.” – Marcus Aurelius

*All times EDT

Born On This Day: American novelist and playwright James Baldwin in 1924 in Harlem, NY (d. 1987). Here’s a very thought-provoking passage from Baldwin’s book, The Fire Next Time:

“Life is tragic simply because the earth turns and the sun inexorably rises and sets, and one day, for each of us, the sun will go down for the last, last time. Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, the only fact we have. It seems to me that one ought to rejoice in the fact of death–ought to decide, indeed, to earn one’s death by confronting with passion the conundrum of life. One is responsible for life: It is the small beacon in that terrifying darkness from which we come and to which we shall return.” 

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology August 1, 2022: Mars Conjuncts North Node and Uranus

01 Monday Aug 2022

Posted by in Astrology August 2022

, , , ,

Cosmic Weather:

This first day of August gets off to a rather rip-roaring start with the activator Mars conjunct both the destiny-pointing North Node (2:04 pm) and liberating, awakening Uranus (7:53 pm), the so-called rogue planet which can also be very volatile and unpredictable by design. This galvanizing meetup is occurring at 18 degrees of determined Taurus the bull, the sign which governs money, security, possessions, and values. Taurus also rules food and agriculture.

Perhaps one thing astrologically notable here, too, from a collective standpoint: the first grain shipment from Ukraine – since the Russian invasion – left the port city of Odessa today bound for Lebanon, aiming to ease the world food crisis. Was also personally thinking that even though this deal was reportedly brokered, a while back, by Turkey, it wasn’t until we actually had this triple conjunction in effect today that the first ship left the harbor. Of course, this latest positive development could also quickly change here – in the wrong direction – based on the past. But, at least it’s a start.

Too, when I first heard this hopeful news on the radio this morning while I was still in bed, the astrologer in me was right away thinking that one of the potential upsides to today’s “cosmic trio lineup” is that it truly does have enormous potential to shift things around for us, to help break up stalemates or stuck situations so we can free ourselves up (and hopefully our world) for something better and possibly more engaging. In other words, that astrology really does work! 🙂

Uranus is revolutionary/disruptive by nature. It represents, among other things, the changing of the old guard, the supplanting of the status quo, the adoption of new methods or procedures, as well as the expression of our individuality – or what it is that makes us unique or quirky. The North Node signifies our evolutionary future, the path of Spirit. Mars is operating now as an amped-up conduit to bring us into greater alignment with these realms.

Too, how we spend our time, money, and resources, what we choose to focus on, the decisions we make, and what we value are always crucial aspects that help to shape and determine the general contour and course of our daily lives, over the long term. That said, it’s also often very easy as astrologers to sometimes get so engrossed/dazzled/enamored by the various astrological influences of the moment, that we sort of forget the down-to-earth basics of Building A Peachy Keen Life 101.

Nevertheless, over the next few days, while this electrifying triple conjunction is still in play, it may behoove us to seriously think about injecting some fresh new elements into our lives, to change things up,  so as to endow them with more pizzazz, passion, and higher purpose. To wake us up from our slumber.

“When one realizes one is asleep, at that moment one is already half-awake.” P.D. Ouspensky

Born On This Day: American author Herman Melville in 1819 in New York City (d. 1891), creator of the classic novel Moby Dick. Here’s a pithy line from that masterpiece that is also rather fitting for this special day:

“It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.” 

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.
