Venus in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces at 22 deg (3:32 am)

This more subtle aspect may stimulate our creativity and love of beauty, art, music or poetry. With Neptune also governing film, it may be a fun time to kick back and watch an old classic. Or perhaps post our own video on Instagram. Also, very supportive here is the fact that we still have the Waxing Crescent Moon deposited in dreamy Pisces as well and it will be conjuncting Neptune (5:05 pm) and sextiling Venus (6:25 pm) today.

Romantically, it can be a time when we are more idealistic, including maybe longing for a meetup on the soul level. Additionally, this aspect is linked with the bestowal of unconditional love or heightened compassion.

Workwise, we may find that we experience more inner contentment with respect to what we have achieved or mastered. Also, we maybe are feeling more inspired about the possibilities ahead.

“The morning felt like a mixing bowl just waiting for its ingredients; there was a sense of possibility to it, a promise of something more to come.” – Jennifer E. Smith

Some of the things that Neptune rules include maritime interests; hospitals or places of confinement; the oil and gas industry; the cosmetics industry; spirituality; prayer or meditation; the nocturnal dream world; visualization.

On This Day in History: On December 28, 1065, a new church devoted to St Peter the Apostle, built by Edward the Confessor (later called ‘Westminster Abbey’), was consecrated in London (rebuilt in the mid 13th century).

Astrologically, that day, initiating Mars, in perfecting Virgo, was in a tight trine to spiritually minded Neptune in builder Taurus.

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

Astrology December 26, 2022: Waxing Aquarius Moon Conjuncts Saturn

Cosmic Weather:

“The first step towards true enlightenment is to lighten up on yourself.” – Bashar

Lots going on in the astrology world this week! – although it still may be a bit less hectic than last week – which saw the debut of the Winter Solstice, Jupiter’s ingress into Aries, and the Capricorn New Moon. This week’s highlights include Mercury and Venus’ meetup in Capricorn and Mercury’s stationing retrograde (start backing up your computer files!) – both events occurring on the 29th; the day before that, on the 28th, Venus will also sextile dreamy Neptune. Too, on New Year’s Day, Venus and Pluto will team up for their annual conjunction.

Today, the Waxing Crescent Moon will spend one more day in bohemian-style Aquarius, typically a time when we may feel much more inclined to ‘do our own thing’ as we set upon manifesting our New Moon intentions as the light of the Crescent Moon increases. However, with Luna forming a conjunction to more judgment-minded Saturn (1:19 pm), it is possible we could feel a bit emotionally conflicted regarding what we may want to do versus what we think we should be doing.

On another level, this lunar aspect may be a positive time to make some structural changes or alterations, especially perhaps finding a way to reduce any excesses or redundancies.

After the Moon-Saturn conjunction, Luna will also go void of course until its entrance into Pisces, tomorrow morning (the 27th) at 2:34 am. The Moon goes from Aquarius to Taurus this week.

On This Day in History:  On December 26, 1933, a patent for FM Radio was granted to American engineer Edwin Howard Armstrong.

Astrologically, that day, communicator Mercury in futuristic Sagittarius was exactly sextile expansive Jupiter in Libra, excellent for contractual matters; Jupiter also helps to expand or broaden the reach of things and FM radio pretty much ended up doing that, essentially eclipsing the stature of AM radio. Mercury was also trine inventive Uranus, in pioneering Aries, with Uranus also ruling broadcasting. Too, Jupiter and Uranus were in opposition to each other, at the time, often a boon for major discoveries or any type of technological advancements. The first walk on the Moon by astronauts occurred when Jupiter and Uranus were exactly conjunct in Libra.

Happy Kwanzaa and Happy Box Day! Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Cosmic Weather:

“Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.” – Anais Nin

No matter that many of us in the U.S. may be bummed out by the brutal cold weather that has currently hijacked much of the country, making holiday travel very difficult – even treacherous or impossible in some regions – today’s astrology still suggests that we may want to consider hitching either our wagon or SUV to a twinkling star and making a wish as thinker Mercury in Scrooge-minded Capricorn forms a magical sextile to transcendental Neptune in fairy-tale Pisces (8:17 pm), suggesting that the veil between worlds is thinner now.

Who knows, this more forgiving, envisioning aspect may even convince Santa to overlook our myriad transgressions, this past year, and charitably leave us something under the tree tonight other than the usual lump of coal in our stockings. 🙂

Mercury-Neptune is excellent for any type of creative work as it may more readily propel us into a state of dreaminess or relaxed consciousness. At the same time, Mercury in organizing, practical Capricorn can help add definition or form to any of the byproducts that visionary Neptune conjures up. We may also want to keep a journal by our bed tonight, as this influence can give rise to very vivid nocturnal dreams as well. What is also interesting about our dreams, and their particular content, is that they often seem to mirror, in symbolic fashion, the astrological themes of the moment.

Due to Mercury stationing retrograde on December 29, we will also have this Mercury-Neptune aspect two more times – on January 2 and February 6 – suggesting something that we undertake today may be put aside and sent back to the drawing board for a redo, before it is finally awarded its angel wings.

On This Day in History: On December 24, 1955, NORAD’s Santa tracking service begins. The event is now a Christmas tradition where the North American Aerospace Defense Command tracks Santa Claus as he travels around the world delivering presents to children. The event began after a printing error in a Sears catalog asking children to call Santa Claus. The number that was printed was the number of Colorado Springs’ Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) Center. (timeanddate.com)

(Among the astrological aspects, that day, love goddess Venus had just entered hi-tech, aircraft-ruling Aquarius, at 0 degrees, and was forming an exact square to fantasy Neptune at 0 degrees of transformational Scorpio. Venus was also opposing trend-setting Uranus, at 1 degree of theatrical Leo, an influence that often has us searching for “out of the ordinary” experiences that ideally add some extra pizzazz to our lives. Also, very helpful then was ‘Santa Claus’ Jupiter’s near exact trine to the empowering Capricorn Sun. Positive Sun-Jupiter aspects often expand feelings of peace and goodwill and tends to operate on a broad scale.; the Capricorn Sun is also very tradition minded.)

“We have to deal with a polar vortex once in a while, but Santa lives year-round in one at the North Pole, so he’s used to this weather,” deadpanned U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant Ben Wiseman, a spokesman for the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, which tracks the yuletide flight. (Denver, December 24, 2022, Reuters.com)

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

Astrology December 21, 2022: Sun Enters Capricorn, Squares Jupiter

21 Wednesday Dec 2022

Cosmic Weather:

“I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique as a fingerprint – and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.” Oprah Winfrey

Sun enters Capricorn (4:48 pm) – This ingress also marks the Winter Solstice point in the Northern Hemisphere – the shortest day of the year with the longest night of the year. After this date, there will be a ‘return of the light’ as the days will grow longer, the nights shorter, the Sun symbolically marking a rebirth from death or darkness. Likewise, it can be a time when we may become clearer or more illuminated with respect to what we would like to birth or manifest in the new year, as well as what we may need to release.

Saturn-ruled Capricorn, represented by the mountain goat, symbolizes the slow but steady ascent to the top. The Sun in Capricorn teaches us the power of patience, focus, self-discipline, and experience.

Interestingly enough, shortly after the Sun enters Capricorn today it will also form a square to expansive Jupiter, newly installed in the irrepressible sign of Aries the Ram (7:50 pm); this pairing between the two largest bodies in our solar system could be a bit tricky for us to navigate as Jupiter tends to implore us to ‘go big’ or pull out all the stops, while the Sun in cautious Cappie is an advocate for more restraint.

While it may be very possible for us to reach new heights now, there is also the possibility that we find that there is a hefty price for us to pay later if we try to do too much or overburden our resources. Kind of like the proverbial scenario of overeating at the buffet bar only to discover afterwards that we no longer can fit into our britches. Jupiter can be the planet of luck and prosperity, but it also can be the cosmic indicator of excess. The prudent Sun in Capricorn suggests – when in doubt – ‘going small’ or moderating our impulses may be the wisest strategy that saves the day for us and allows us to shine our light ‘in all its glory’ over the long-term.

“Excessive sorrow laughs. Excessive joy weeps.” – William Blake

*All times EST

On This Day in History – Apollo 8 went into space: the 1st manned Moon voyage launched with astronauts Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and William Anders.

Astrologically, on that day, Jupiter and Uranus were closely conjunct (less than one degree apart) in the sign of Libra, with Libra’s ruler, Venus, deposited in innovative Aquarius. Jupiter represents long distance travel and Uranus governs technology and aviation (and also rules Aquarius). Often when these two are paired we experience sudden opportunities and a broadening of our horizons. This aspect is also associated with elements of genius. Also, consciousness downloads.

“And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas, and God bless all of you – all of you on the good Earth.” — Frank Borman

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

Astrology December 20, 2022: Jupiter Re-enters Aries

Cosmic Weather:

“If you put yourself in a position where you have to stretch outside your comfort zone, then you are forced to expand your consciousness.” – Les Brown

Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system – and more than twice as big as all the other planets combined – makes its grand re-entry into fiery Aries the Ram this morning (9:32 am), where it will remain until May 16, 2023. Earlier this year, on May 10th, Jupiter first entered Aries, then stationed retrograde on July 28th, and ingressed back into Pisces on October 28th. Projects that we began back in May, that were then put on the back burner during the retrograde phase, are now ready to be resumed, possibly with greater definition or form to them as a result of the reflective Rx period. Too, if maybe we were a little late to the game in May and missed the first Jupiter in Aries rollout, we have a second chance now to maybe hit one out of the park.

Just like its physical size, Jupiter tends to operate in more of a gargantuan – or as a former US president might say – a bigly fashion. It can push us to our limits – and beyond – especially when it is given free rein in Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, associated with pioneering, self-assertion, and personal new beginnings. Jupiter in Aries is thought to be an excellent time to focus on matters that add to our self-discovery, elevate courage or bravery, and contribute to our sense that we are making a positive difference in the world. We will also want to make sure that we remain very focused on our vision and what we are trying to accomplish during this time. Some shadow-side manifestations of Jupiter in Aries include trying to do too much, going to excess, being too self-righteous or arrogant, and becoming too aggressive.

*All times EST

On This Day in History: On December 20, 1860, South Carolina became the first state to secede from the Union as all 169 delegates to a special convention in Charleston voted in favor of separation. South Carolina wanted to withdraw from the US because Abraham Lincoln, a member of the new Republican party, had just been elected president, and wanted to stop slavery from spreading into western territories. South Carolina lawmakers, meanwhile, were concerned that any interference with slavery would end their way of life. They also believed they had a constitutional right to take property – including slaves – anywhere. (manythings.org)

Astrologically, that day, among the notable aspects, was an exact square between Saturn in Virgo and Uranus in Gemini, which were both at 9 degrees of their respective signs. The square between these two bodies is often associated with experiencing a great deal of tension or pressure as the desire to maintain the status quo (Saturn) is seemingly seriously threatened by radical change (Uranus), which can then lead to taking unprecedented actions. Decision-maker Mercury, in ideologically-oriented Sagittarius, was also at 8 degrees then and applying to an exact square to Saturn and opposition to Uranus (creating a mutable T-square in the sky); Mercury square Saturn can find us making decisions based on fear, while Mercury opposing Uranus can propel us to act more boldly or precipitously.

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

Cosmic Weather:

“The distance between us grows with each passing minute. Will he take my arm again, or will I have to take his?” – Stephanie Perkins, Lola and the Boy Next Door

Venus in Capricorn Squares Chiron Rx in Aries (11:22 am): This aspect may find us reliving old relationship wounds, including possibly rehashing the sting of rejection by lovers or maybe fallouts with workmates, which could result in, among other things, more of a hesitancy to want to commit. Too, another possibility is that we may be feeling unworthy or pressured because we perceive that we have not really lived up to our own expectations for ourselves. Of course, we can also choose to put a more positive spin on things here by focusing, perhaps, on what we are grateful for, including lessons learned.

Venus in Capricorn Quincunx Mars Rx in Gemini (12:36 pm): This aspect suggests some possible awkwardness going after what we want. It could be, too, that our timing may be off or that we are trying too hard.

Mars Rx in Gemini Sextile Chiron Rx in Aries (5:37 pm): This helps us to acknowledge our missteps or insecurities and activates us to want to do something about them so that we can move on. Talking about things may also be healing now.

“I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal, and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood.” – Audre Lord

On This Day in History: On December 19, 1843, the revered classic “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens is published.

Among the astrological aspects, of that day: expansive Jupiter – commonly regarded as the goodwill ambassador – and also the planet which governs literature and publishing, was conjunct Neptune, the planet of imagination, in altruistic, collective-minded Aquarius, an aspect that can also appreciably magnify our idealism. Both were also sextile to the empowering Sun in the Jupiter-ruled sign of Sagittarius; Sadge rules our beliefs and convictions, as well as our sense of ethics or morality. The Sun-Jupiter sextile is also particularly favorable for publishing; it can also help a matter to have a broader impact.

“Reflect upon your present blessings—of which every man has many—not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.” – Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

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

Cosmic Weather:

“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storms, but to add color to my sunset sky.” – Rabindranath Tagore

Waning Moon in Libra sextiles the Sun in Sagittarius (5:03 pm): Optimally, this prompts us to want to create more space in our lives for beauty, art, balance, and justice. A desire for personal freedom is also paired with a need for collaboration.

Mars Rx in Gemini sesquiquadrate Pluto in Capricorn (5:19 pm): Attempts at self-assertion may be bogged down by fears or worries. Temporarily stepping away, however, may help us to gain a greater perspective and a restored sense of self-confidence.

“I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning to how to sail my ship.” – Louisa May Alcott

Luna will also close out her Sunday with a shift into Scorpio (10:31 pm), encouraging us to go deeper with our emotions. Simply acknowledging our feelings without judgment is often a good point of entry here.

Born On This Day: Musician and songwriter Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, in Dartford, England. Richards is 79 today. Reportedly, he wrote the music to “Satisfaction” in his sleep and recorded a rough version of it on a Phillips cassette player when he woke up. :

“But I’m not here just to make records and money. I’m here to say something and to touch other people, sometimes in a cry of desperation.”

Cosmic Weather:

“Necessity, they say, is the mother of invention, but fear, too, is not barren of ingenious suggestions.” – Joseph Conrad

Mercury in Capricorn trines Uranus in Taurus (4:37 pm): This suggests more of a willingness to embrace or entertain new ideas, or to look at things from different perspectives – especially if we sense that by doing so we will likely be gaining some kind of practical or material advantage that may make our lives function more smoothly.

Additionally, this aspect can also help to speed up our mental processes and facilitate intuition.

On This Day in History: On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers make the 1st (sustained motorized) aircraft flight in Kitty Hawk, NC, piloted by Orville Wright.

Astrologically, that day, the empowering Sun was applying to an exact conjunction with innovative Uranus (the planet governing aviation) in the futuristic travel sign of Sagittarius. Sun-Uranus days can often be big game-changers for us, setting us on a whole new course; our tolerance for risk is usually much higher than as well as our need for experimentation. Mars and Saturn were also conjunct in Uranus-ruled Aquarius, an aspect that is thought to be quite helpful with aiding concentration and perfecting techniques.

“The airplane stays up because it doesn’t have time to fall.” – Orville Wright.

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