“The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark.” – Michelangelo Buonarroti

The illuminating Sun – thought to govern our will, ego, and basic urge to be – rockets into aspirational, Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius today (9:03 am), potentially ratcheting up our desire to chase big dreams, hug distant new horizons. Also, a time when we may feel more comfortable using the bully pulpit to express/declare our views.

Motivator Mars, the action-planet, now nearing the ‘anaretic ‘ or 29th degree of Scorpio, will also be entering Sadge on the 24th as the Sun and Mars are still orbiting in conjunction (or in close proximity) to each other.

Sun-Mars energy is often associated with ushering in sudden, fast-moving developments. Too, on the shadow side, sometimes this more fluid pairing may coincide with partaking in rash or more impulsive behavior or actions that we may regret later.

Interestingly, the Sun and Mars were exactly conjunct this past Saturday morning, in secretive Scorpio (12:42 am), just prior to when CEO Sam Altman of OpenAI was reportedly axed by board members of that company for reasons that are still unknown, immediately sending ‘Scorpionic’ shockwaves throughout Silicon Valley and beyond. Now today, there are reports circulating that Altman has been re-instated as CEO at OpenAI – the company that is the purveyor of the popular ChatGPT.

Meanwhile, Waxing Luna leaves compassionate Pisces for enterprising Aries today (12:19 pm). Luna will also harmoniously trine the newly ensconced Sagittarius Sun, shortly thereafter (12:35 pm), hopefully allowing for an easy flow between our inner and outer selves. The Aries Moon may also enhance our desire to spontaneously, and more confidently or courageously, put things into motion now, especially with the Sun and Mars (which rules the Aries Moon) still paired together.

*All times EST

Born On This Day: Second US First Lady Abigail Adams (Mother of John Quincy Adams) in 1744 in Weymouth, MA (d 1818).

“If we mean to have heroes, statesmen and philosophers, we should have learned women.” – Abigail Adams

Amen to that! 🙂

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

Astrology November 21, 2023: Mars Sextiles Makeover Guru Pluto

“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.” – Joseph Campbell

Today’s more penetrating Mars-Pluto sextile (exact at 8:18 pm) suggests that it may be easier now to align with our deepest desires as well as hidden motivations (Pluto signifies the subconscious) and, as a consequence, ideally be able to implement or manifest conditions around us that are more congruent with who we are at our core. Kind of like being able to adjust our radio dial to the exact frequency that we vibrate to so there is little to no interference.

Too, it may be an especially good time to engage ourselves with projects that we can get lost in for hours – in other words, that put us “in the zone” – because these types of all-encompassing activities tend to fully replenish our body, mind, and spirit. Mars-Pluto energy is widely perceived to equip us with a heightened ability to focus our time, attention, and resources.

“Always remember, your focus determines your reality.” – George Lucas

On This Day in History: On November 21, 1989, a law banning smoking on most domestic flights is signed by US President George H. Bush.

Astrologically, that day, action-oriented Mars was applying to a conjunction with Pluto in the transformational sign of Scorpio (an influence similar to what we have today). This planetary alignment is usually regarded as motivating us to tackle more consequential projects or undertakings often in a bid to dramatically reshape or alter the playing field around us. Mars was also nearly exactly sextile to a Neptune and Saturn conjunction in Saturn-ruled Capricorn. Dissolving Neptune rules, among other things, drugs and substance abuse issues, while ringed planet Saturn represents our ability to set limits or put restrictions around matters. Capricorn also rules government intervention.

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

Astrology November 20, 2023: Scorpio Sun Sextiles Rebirthing Pluto

Cosmic Weather:

“We are all butterflies. Earth is our chrysalis.” – LeeAnn Taylor

With the Scorpio Sun sextiling rebirthing Pluto in Capricorn today (4:26 pm) – the modern-day ruler of Scorpio – there’s the perceived possibility/hope that this could be a more potent or productive period for turning things around in a healing manner. For getting unstuck. For ridding/purging ourselves of unwanted baggage or entanglements.

What has been hidden from view may also now suddenly emerge, possibly generating fresh new insights into things as a result. Sun-Pluto energy has often been described as shining a bright light into a cave. Mars will also repeat this same sextile to Pluto tomorrow.

(Some activities synonymous with Sun-Pluto include undertaking in-depth research, decluttering and refurbishing, rebuilding, dealing with estates, joint resources, insurance, psychotherapy, conducting seances, unraveling mysteries.)

We also have a First Quarter Moon in futuristic Aquarius this morning (5:50 am). This might encourage/energize us to take swift action on the New Moon intentions that we set a week ago as we may now have a better idea of how to proceed towards their manifestation.

Waxing Luna will also exit airy Aquarius for empathetic Pisces this morning (9:29 am).

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” – Leo Buscaglia

*All times EST

Born On This Day: American astronomer Edward Hubble (discoverer of galaxies, red shift), in Marshfield, Missouri in 1889 (d. 1953). The Hubble Telescope, which was launched in 1990, was named after him in honor of his discovery of the expansion of the universe.

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

Astrology November 18, 2023: Sun Conjuncts Mars

“You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do.” – Carl Gustav Jung

Cosmic Weather:

The authoritative Sun, symbolizing our ego and will, makes its annual conjunction with assertive Mars in investigative, transformational Scorpio today (12:42 am) potentially inspiring us to more confidently or courageously act upon or defend our deepest passions or ambitions while, at the same time, perhaps stoking our desire for employing new methods, new approaches, including embracing/welcoming new beginnings. Our adventurous streak is stronger now. Existing situations could also reach pivotal turning points.

Planetary conjunctions represent birthdays, of sorts. Fresh starts. To this end, Waxing Luna’s entrance into experimental Aquarius (6:28 am) also helps to support this more galvanizing, pioneering Sun-Mars energy.

While breakthroughs are possible – and perhaps more likely now – due, in part, to our potentially more determined, undaunted desire to go to the next level or see matters through to the very end, on the shadow side, we may also want to be more mindful of a tendency, at the moment, to go to extremes (the Scorpio energy), when perhaps a more nuanced approach might, ultimately, serve us better in the long run.

Too, proactively seeking to avoid engaging in more reactive behavior (such as throwing temper tantrums when something/someone provokes our ire) or taking measures to contain inflammable situations before they erupt or get out of hand may also go far to adding to the peace, stability, and success of the day. On the other hand, now may also be a healthy time to share/vent how we really feel about things in a bid to clear the air. This is also a good period for purging/repurposing items.

Additionally, now could be a litmus test to see how well we are using/abusing/wielding our personal power. We may also gain a fresh new understanding or awareness concerning what really excites us at our core/what truly makes us come alive.

“Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.” -Lao Tzu

On This Day in History:  On November 18, 1963, Bell Telephone introduces the touch-tone telephone to customers in Pennsylvania. (Before this new advance, we had the old-fashioned rotary dial telephone.)

Astrologically, that day, enterprising Mars, in futuristic Sagittarius, was exactly sextile to solidifying Saturn in innovative Aquarius an excellent influence for building upon the trusty structure of the past.

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