“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” – Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!

Mercury Rx in Capricorn Trine Uranus Rx in Taurus (6:23 pm): This aspect can be very mentally stimulating. It can inspire us to want to learn new things, help us to craft new, sometimes even ingenious solutions to old problems. We also may be more prone now to speaking our minds – although with Mercury nestled in cautious Capricorn, we may still prefer to have at least some kind of personal filter or content moderation system in place, lest we inadvertently draw the scrutiny of the FBI or something. 🙂 At the same time, we may not necessarily wig out now either, if we see someone bending or breaking the rules, especially if we see some utility or wisdom in doing that sort of thing as we suspect that some of the old way of thinking or systems in place may be possibly irrelevant or misguided or even obsolete with respect to what we and others are trying to achieve at the moment.

Additionally, this aspect can fire up our intuition as well as make us more eager to deviate from our daily routines. We also may be more attracted to unusual types of people, be more cause-oriented, or find ourselves in novel situations that require new adaptive responses on our part.

We first had this Mercury trine Uranus aspect on December 17th. We will also have it a third or final time on January 29th when both Mercury and Uranus will be direct; Mercury stations direct on January 18th and Uranus follows suit on January 22 – just a day after the Uranus-ruled New Moon in Aquarius.

It is also possible that today we are revisiting a matter that we first dealt with on December 17th, perhaps seeing it in a new light now.

Waning Luna is also spending her first full day in creative, magnanimous Leo today, having shifted into that sign, late yesterday. Luna’s sextile to Mars Rx in Gemini (2:19 pm) signals a time to take the lead or show initiative in matters. It also favors physical activity or workouts.

“Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

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

Astrology January 5, 2023: Sun Trines Uranus Rx

Cosmic Weather:

“We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” – Joseph Campbell

Sun in Capricorn forms a Waning Trine to Uranus Rx in Taurus (11:43 am) – We appear to be more receptive to altering or tweaking some of our strategies or plans now and revisions that are made seem to be less of a stretch for us as they may have been things that were already at least blips on our radar screen, so to speak, so we are not necessarily thrown for a loop at this point. Additionally, we may be more open to experimentation or trying out new methodologies or technologies especially if we feel that by doing so, we can save both time and money.

Also, we should keep in mind that the Sun in Capricorn characteristically operates in more of a utilitarian manner and will do whatever it needs in order to not only survive but thrive. At the same time, there may also be a burgeoning desire now to want to do our own thing without having to endure too much external interference. It’s like, we will do what we need to do; however, we are not going to allow others to rain on our parade without launching at least some kind of resistance unless we feel that doing so would be counterproductive. Too, with the more harmonious trine aspect, hopefully things will just sort of fall into place on their own and that will be that.

Luna also exits chatty Gemini this morning (9:15 am), ending a long void of course period with its entrance into protective Cancer. And then, of course, we will have the Full Moon in Cancer, tomorrow evening (6:08 pm).

Too, around lunchtime today (12:50 pm) Luna will form a square to Jupiter in Aries – an influence that tends to magnify our emotions as well as possibly accentuate our ideological side. There could also be a bit of a tug-of-war going on here now regarding how best to preserve elements of the past while at the same time welcoming in new horizons. Of course, the Sun-Uranus influence points us more in the direction of the future. A solution seems to be to take what you need from the past but do not overload on it. Set a limit on the baggage allowed on board just like the airlines. 🙂

“Everyone has baggage, maybe we should help each other carry it.” – Rob Liano

Astrology January 4, 2023: Venus Sextiles Jupiter

Cosmic Weather:

“I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.” – Herman Hesse, Siddhartha

Venus in Aquarius sextile Jupiter in Aries (4:08 am) – This more pleasant, feel-good aspect – often linked with the bestowal or arrival of love, generosity, and kindness – suggests that some good fortune or positive karma may be in the cards for us today! Wouldn’t that be nice?

Too, while it’s not necessarily a huge aspect, it can be a time when we feel a bit more optimistic or hopeful. Especially when we are perhaps gathered with friends or loved ones, or simply doing things that we enjoy. It’s often a great time to have a party. Or to mingle with new people from diverse backgrounds – especially now with Venus in eclectic Aquarius.

Also, it could be that this potentially nice cosmic payback is in humble recognition for some of the accumulated good that we have somehow managed to generate in the world to date – despite, sometimes, the onerous presence of many overriding, contradictory, inherent behavioral tendencies, within our delicate being, that often causes us to seemingly screw up much of what we touch. Psychiatrists call these tendencies the “reverse Midas Touch” or the “Midas-less Touch.” Too, if you were watching C-SPAN yesterday you maybe witnessed Kevin McCarthy displaying a few symptoms, of this condition – on the House floor – after the third vote was counted,

Too, it is really fascinating, astrologically – the correlation – that we now have no Speaker of the House at a time when ‘speaker’ Mercury in Capricorn – the sign which rules government – is also retrograde. Along with mover or shaker Mars retrograde, which is essentially at a standstill now, in the heavens, in Mercury-ruled Gemini – ahead of his direct station on January 12. Maybe I’m making too much of all of this. But it just strikes me as hugely symbolic for the moment. Too, feel free to weigh in here, if you like.

Anyway, reportedly nothing can get done now – no sausage can be made, so to speak – in the People’s House – until a new speaker is selected.

Historically, the speaker vote has not gone past a first ballot since 1923 – when lawmakers needed nine ballots to pick a leader.

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

Astrology January 3, 2023: Moon Conjuncts Mars Rx in Gemini

Cosmic Weather:

“Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.” – e. e. cummings

Luna – now in her Waxing Gibbous phase with 89% illumination – will spend her first full day in busy Gemini after shifting into that sign late last night. In Gemini, the Moon is perceived as more communicative and inquisitive.

Luna in Gemini reminds me a little of the nosy next-door neighbor Gladys Kravitz in the old “Bewitched” television series. Do you remember her? Always staring out her front window with a pair of binoculars, invariably looking aghast by what she sees.

A focal point for Luna today will be her conjunction with Mars Rx (2:47 pm). Which ought to be interesting as Mars – which will be stationing direct on January 12 – is right now barely moving in the sky and will not even get back to some semblance of its normal speed until early February.

Moon-Mars conjunctions are usually seen as synonymous with our taking some kind of action. But sometimes that action is undertaken too hastily, so we may need to be on guard that we don’t inadvertently trip ourselves up with this one.

And, of course, too, Mars is retrograde and Mercury – which rules Gemini – is also retrograde in Capricorn, stationing direct on January 18th. So it is possible that any action that we do take now will end up having to be revised or changed later.

This may, however, be a very good time for physically working out, especially as a way to dissolve tension or stress or to perhaps get working on some of those New Year’s resolutions to become fitter.

“Pull the string and it will follow you wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere at all.” – Dwight D. Eisenhower

Astrology January 1, 2023: Venus-Pluto, Moon Trines Sun, Moon-Uranus

“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language
And next year’s words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.” – T.S. Eliot

Venus conjunct Pluto in Capricorn (12:25 am) – Helps us to feel things with greater passion or intensity. Sometimes it can feel a little bit like a soap opera playing out, relationship-wise, with some elements of jealousy or possessiveness threaded through it, although with this aspect occurring in more constrained Capricorn – where outward appearances matter very much – this may be less the case.

Also, for those of us in the eastern time zone of the US, this is the very first aspect of the new year, so we maybe have to be wondering what kind of symbolism, if any, it is sending about the overall nature of 2023? Could it possibly be we need to hire a Hollywood agent, this year, and audition for a role on The Young and Restless? Too, I am personally wondering, do they even allow old and restless people (like myself) on to that set – or are we simply going to be limited to playing the bit part ‘greeter roles’ at Walmart for the rest of our lives?

Taurus Moon trine Capricorn Sun (8:42 am) – Anyway – on paper today, at least – it looks like we are poised to start the new year off on solid footing this morning – once we can motivate ourselves to get out from under the steamy Venus-Pluto sheets! This Moon-Sun trine, in earth signs, is excellent grounding energy. Too, depending on how much partying we did last night, it usually is ideal for such activities as planning, budget-crunching, and getting organized. Capricorn Sun native, Benjamin Franklin, once said, “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.” No doubt, too, if ole’ Ben were still alive today, he would be busy cavorting with Mercury Rx in Capricorn now and they would both be tallying up all the liquor receipts from NYE.

Taurus Moon conjunct Uranus Rx (4:52 pm) – Of course, all of this record-keeping stuff will likely have to come to a screeching halt once rogue Uranus puts in his disheveled appearance. There’s no telling where he has stashed his bitcoin receipts and Sam Bankman-Fried won’t pony up. 🙂

Born On This Day: J. Edgar Hoover, in Washington DC, in 1895 (d. 5/2/77). He served as the first Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He was appointed director of the Bureau of Investigation – the FBI’s predecessor – in 1924 and was instrumental in founding the FBI in 1935, where he remained director for another 37 years until his death in 1972.

Hoover built the FBI into a larger crime-fighting agency than it was at its inception and instituted a number of modernizations to police technology, such as a centralized fingerprint file and forensic laboratories. Hoover also established and expanded a national blacklist, referred to as the FBI Index or Index List. Later in life and after his death, Hoover became a controversial figure as evidence of his secretive abuses of power began to surface (of course, some might also say that this same sort of thing is still going on at the FBI). Wikipedia

“When morals decline and good men do nothing, evil flourishes.” – J. Edgar Hoover

On that cheery note, would like to wish everyone a “Happy New Year!” Hope that you prosper and enjoy good health in 2023. I appreciate your stopping by.
