Aretha Franklin's Respect Song hits number one, confusion, daily astrology, Mercury square Neptune, Moon in Capricorn, On This Day in History

Cosmic Weather:

“How easy it is for so many of us today to be undoubtedly full of information yet fully deprived of accurate information.” – Criss Jami

Thanks to intellectual Mercury’s challenging square to confused, space cadet Neptune, in muscular he-man Aries today (8:18 pm), it could be that trying to sort out fact from fiction may be too much of a heavy lift. Especially since we also have Mercury deposited in maudlin, cry me a river Cancer, which tends to diminish objectivity.

Too, what we often find with the more difficult Mercury-Neptune aspects (illusionist Neptune, by the way, is known as the “Great Dissolver”) is that there may be big chunks of pivotal information that is either missing or being held back – possibly even lost in outer space, in this case! – which can, of course, potentially place us at an obvious disadvantage. Which is why it would probably behoove us now to make sure that if we are in doubt about something, to make sure that we either try to ask some questions for clarification or possibly attempt to gather more information before formulating a final decision on a matter.

“Trust, but verify.” – Ronald Reagan 🙂

On This Day in History: 

On June 3, 1967, Aretha Franklin’s cover of the Otis Redding’s song “Respect” reaches #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Astrologically, that day, abundant and expansive Jupiter was newly ensconced in entertainment Leo, at one degree of the sign, and artistic, feminine-ruling Venus, at 27 degrees of sensitive Cancer, was applying to a conjunction with Jupiter, a configuration that is perceived to be very lucky or propitious. (We have it coming up on June 9th!)

Also, the empowering Sun in Gemini was sextile to enduring Saturn in pioneering Aries (which is also an aspect that we just had yesterday). Harmonizing Sun-Saturn aspects often add staying power to matters.

The song’s empowerment message resonated deeply during the 1960s civil rights and feminist movements, cementing its place as a protest anthem. (Wikipedia)

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

Cosmic Weather:

“Don’t make excuses for why you can’t get it done. Focus on all the reasons why you must get it done.” – Ralph Marston

Sun in Gemini sextile Saturn in Aries (6:49 pm):

It appears that we may now have an enhanced ability today – at least on paper – to channel forth our inner taskmaster so as to get important projects accomplished, (Aries) trails blazed, deadlines met without requiring a whole lot of fanfare or handholding. 🙂

Sun-Saturn aspects are also deemed supportive for displaying leadership prowess with the Sun symbolizing our sense of personal power, self-confidence and authority and Saturn signifying our capacity for self-discipline, responsibility, and ability to work hard to reach our goals.

Too, with the Sun inhabiting curious, eclectic Gemini we potentially are primed to be more flexible or accommodating in our approaches now, which can be a nice counterpoint to the more seemingly unyielding energy of reality-stickler Saturn, which is typically regarded as the standard bearer/cheerleader of all that is traditional or tried and true.

“Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.” – Immanuel Kant

On This Day in History:

On June 2, 1953, at just 27 years old, Queen Elizabeth II was formally crowned at Westminster Abbey. Though she had officially become monarch more than a year earlier upon the sudden death of her father, King George VI.

What truly set the coronation apart from all previous ones was the decision to broadcast it on television. Against the initial advice of Prime Minister Winston Churchill and traditionalists, the Queen insisted that the cameras be allowed inside Westminster Abbey. Many bought or rented their very first television sets just for this day.

Across the Atlantic, the Royal Air Force flew recordings across the ocean so millions in North America could watch on the same day. It was the world’s first truly global television event! (MSN.com)

Astrologically, among the aspects that day, pioneering Mars and reporter Mercury were exactly conjunct in broadcast-ruling Gemini and sextile to transformational Pluto (governing the masses) in opulent Leo, the official domain of kings and queens.

Too, when Mercury and Mars are paired up, especially in intellectual Gemini, and aligned with intense Pluto, we tend to have an ultra-keen mental focus regarding the matters at hand; it’s like something riveting or extra captivating is seizing our attention.

Too, Mercury and Mars were harmoniously trine to structuring, status-minded Saturn and dreamy, idealistic Neptune, which were closely conjunct in socially minded, diplomatic Libra, with the Saturn-Neptune energy potentially imparting, among other things, a strong sense of fairness and responsibility to others as well as a greater appreciation of beauty and, perhaps, appetite for pomp and circumstance.

Additionally, the Gemini Sun was conjunct expansive Jupiter, the planet of luck, vision and prosperity, an aspect which is often tied to the occurrence of mega/large-scale events, perhaps a natural byproduct of pairing the two largest bodies in our solar system together.

“I declare before you that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.” – Queen Elizabeth II

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