daily astrology, dreams and wishes, Jupiter sextile Neptune, mercury sextile venus, romance, Teddy Roosevelt renames the Executive Mansion the White House

Cosmic Weather:

There may be an otherworldly feel or quality to the day as hopeful Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, forms a sextile, for the third and final time this year, to idealistic Neptune (at 3:06 am) the planet of our dreams and imagination. (The other dates were February 20th and July 27th). This more inspirational type of energy can motivate us to reach for the ever-twinkling stars, and with Jupiter deposited in ambitious, pragmatic Capricorn, there’s a real possibility that we’ll be able to lasso in whatever it is we’re seeking, especially if we are disciplined and remained focused on elements of the bigger picture and perhaps what’s at stake.

This may also be a good time to become involved with projects pertaining to art, music, photography, and dance, as well as for engaging in charitable or humanitarian activities. Our nocturnal dreams may also be very vivid and meaningful for us now, so we may want to pay closer attention to them and write them down.

Mercury in probing Scorpio – which will be stationing retrograde tomorrow – is also sextile to accomodating Venus in organized Virgo (at 12:39 pm), an aspect that can naturally turn our thoughts to matters such as love and friendship. It may also make us more amenable or predisposed to evaluating our relationships as well as possibly discussing taking a relationship to the next level. Too, the waning Moon is in Leo, the sign of romance!

“And he took her in his arms and kissed her under the sunlit sky, and he cared not that they stood high upon the walls in the sight of many.” – J.R.R Tolkien

Overall, with communicator Mercury and harmonizer Venus in positive alignment, it should hopefully be easier for us to work collaboratively with each other now, or to at least find a few points of common agreement. Today’s Jupiter-Neptune influence may also beneficially assist us here as it, ideally, can incline us to be more principled or philosophically-minded, or less personally reactive. That said, with Mercury in very intense Scorpio, there is always, of course, still a possibility that some conversations could become very animated or overheated as we go about making our beliefs and ideologies (Jupiter) known while simultaneously investigating or weighing the facts of matters (thinking expressly here, of the start of Monday’s Supreme Court nomination hearing in the U.S. Senate!).

*All times EDT.

Tarot Card For The Day: The Six of Wands. This card graphically depicts a celebrated victor on horseback in the Rider Deck. It can also inspire acting upon our convictions or ideals which, in turn, can help draw support from others.

On This Day in History: On October 12, 1901, U.S. President Teddy Roosevelt renames the Executive Mansion as “The White House.” Since nearly every U.S. state had an “executive mansion” for its governor, President Roosevelt believed the name “White House” would distinguish it as the official residence of the President of the United States. (whitehousehistory.org)

Astrologically, that day, there was a New Moon in beautifying Libra, which can naturally place more of an emphasis on such things as form, style, and decorum. This New Moon was also exactly trine to transformational Pluto, which was deposited in the communicative sign of Gemini, ruling words, phrases, and grammar. The ruler of the New Moon, elegant Venus, was also exactly conjunct energetic Mars, in refurbishing Scorpio.

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

Astrology October 11, 2020: Sun Square Jupiter, Sun Quinqunx Neptune

daily astrology, nirvana, self righteous, Sun quincunx Neptune, Sun square Jupiter, Tarot card for the day

Cosmic Weather:

Today we may be tempted to eschew or give a thumbs down, to any small, medium, or even what could be described as normal-sized large gestures or overtures in favor of going with or holding out for the “whopper” or “jumbo” options instead (you know, part of the whole “bigger is better” philosophy). While Sun square Jupiter (9:34 am) can positively give us a gargantuan shot of self-confidence or enthusiasm, the downside to it is that it can often find us overestimating our rave abilities or getting immersed in activities that end up requiring more energy than they’re worth.

Another lovely, dubious shadow side to the often “over the top” Sun-Jupiter energy is that it can sometimes bring out our irresistible self-righteousness (or virtue-signaling side), which can then, no doubt, quickly descend into experiencing various awkward, random, complicated moments of holy finger-pointing, which can then lead to smelly toe-pointing, and then eventually morphing into engaging in cringe-worthy, highly suspect “paint-by-number” charades. And that’s likely just the beginning!

We also may have another precarious Cinderella glass slipper dropping into the fathomless, bottomless, oceanic depths with the (“please-like-me”) pretty Libra Sun quincunx to psychedelic hippie Neptune Retrograde, occurring in the sign of fishy, self-flagellating Pisces (11:31 am). We can’t detail all the scandalous, risque ramifications that could possibly come about from this little cosmic quickie, but suffice it to say, the map of directions regarding the fastest, surefire way to arrive at sacred Nirvana (or the scenario in which the magic slipper fits the fairy tale princess’s foot) is likely to become very soggy or waterlogged now. So please tread and chant “OM” very carefully now! 🙂 Challenging Sun-Neptune aspects often make things appear other than they are and sometimes what is being masked or covered up is much stranger than first thought or ever could have been imagined.

“Some stories have to be written because no one would believe the absurdity of it all.” Shannon L. Adler

*All times EDT

Tarot Card for the Day: The Hangman, suggesting the need for surrender instead of resistance. Excellent for meditation or seeking wisdom.

On This Day in History: On October 11, 1939, Albert Einstein informs FDR of the possibilities of an atomic bomb.

Astrologically, that day, communicator Mercury had just entered the life and death sign of Scorpio, at zero degrees (Scorpio rules bombs). Expansive Jupiter, retrograde in “warrior” Aries the ram was also exactly trine to transformative Pluto, Scorpio’s modern-day ruler. Jupiter-Pluto aspects are often associated with being able to wield or generate tremendous power and influence. Pluto was also in the ostenstatious, larger than life sign of Leo the Lion.

Birthdays today: Former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt (and FDR’s wife), who was born on Oct. 11, 1884 (d. 1962). Cardi B. also is turning 28 today.

Hope you enjoy your Sunday! Please be safe and well.

Astrology October 7, 2020: Mercury Opposes Uranus Rx

daily astrology, Far Side of the Moon revealed, mercury opposite uranus, Pluto stationing direct in Capricorn, Tarot card for the day

Cosmic Weather:

While intellectual Mercury’s opposition to erratic Uranus may make it a bit more difficult for us to concentrate or focus our brilliant attention today (4:55 pm EDT), we may be able to score at least a few bonus points with respect to suddenly being able to see things/elements in a whole brand new light – which could then conceivably go a long way in helping us to dispel, perhaps, some of our more rigid, outworn, or erroneous views or narratives, as well as to maybe help us to creatively problem-solve…

Of course, there’s also a chance that these fresh new insights could deliver up sort of a mental jolt that leaves us kind of clueless or scratching our heads about what to do next, as we may be unable to mentally process matters in a timely, semi-intelligible fashion, due to the very rapid nature at which thoughts, ideas, and messages are bombarding us now…

Fortunately, though, today’s scintillating Mercury-Uranus opposition is just at the very first phase or go-round, so we may not necessarily have to come to any conclusive or far-reaching decisions now, thanks, in part, to Mercury’s upcoming retrograde cycle – which means we may get to go through this whole, glorious, divine cognitive excursion at least two more times (on October 19th and November 17th) when more information, puzzle pieces, or follow-up may come to the forefront of our ever-delicate psyches.

Too, with Mercury surreptitiously holding up in probing Scorpio and Pluto (Scorpio’s ruler) stationing direct, just last Sunday, it could be that we are also privy, today, to eye-opening results of long-term investigations – especially with the Moon darting through blabbermouth, news reporter Gemini! 🙂

All in all, a very good day to be led by our insatiable curiosity and to welcome or entertain unconventional or even radical approaches to old problems – even if we decide, in the end, to maybe, temporarily, stay the course. 

“Why is it that when one man builds a wall, the next man immediately needs to know what’s on the other side?” George R. R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

Tarot Card for the Day: The Ten of Swords, which suggests that something is coming to a head or finale. Ambiguity is reduced.

Birthdays today: Russia’s Vladimir Putin turns 68. Television personality Simon Cowell is 61.

On This Day in History: On October 7, 1959, the Soviet probe Luna 3 took the first photographs of the “Far Side of the Moon,” eighteen of them resolvable, covering one-third of the surface invisible from the Earth. (Wikipedia)

Astrologically, that day, fortuitous Jupiter, the planet of hope and expansion, had just entered its home turf of Sagittarius, which also rules space travel and exploration. Pioneering Mars in balancing Libra was also just separating from an exact (opportunity) sextile to change-oriented Uranus in the bold, theatrical sign of Leo the Lion. Uranus is the planet that governs, among other things, innovative breakthroughs and technological advances, including in such areas as aviation or pertaining to spacecraft.

Hope it’s a good one! Be safe and well. I’ve missed you guys!

can-do spirit, daily astrology, enthusiasm, Mars square Jupiter, On This Day in History

Cosmic Weather:

“Enthusiasm is a supernatural serenity.” Henry David Thoreau

There may be more of a tendency to assume “bigger is better” in all sorts of ways today, as well as perhaps a burning desire to want to “test our limits” (to get ahead) as energizing Mars, in self-willed Aries, forms an exact square with oversizing and expansive Jupiter Rx, in methodical Capricorn, a galvanizing aspect that can greatly fire up our levels of enthusiasm, motivation, and courage. Too, while we certainly can meet up with a notable amount of success today, due partly to our irrepressible “can-do” spirit, we may also want to make sure that we remember to temper our actions with at least some measure of good old-fashioned “Capricornian” common-sense so that we don’t get too carried away, or act too impulsively – typical shadow side manifestations of this particular planetary configuration. (We will also have this aspect a second time on October 19th, when Mars is retrograde.)

Orator Mercury will also be shifting into ostentatious Leo the Lion, late tonight (11:32 pm) for a two-week run.

*All times EDT

This Day in History: On August 4, 1862, the U.S. government collects its first income tax.

Astrologically, on that day, the authoritative Leo Sun was exactly square to transformational Pluto in “revenue conscious” Taurus. Often, Sun-Pluto aspects mark major turning points in life. (Pluto also rules taxes!) It should also be noted that Mars was in pioneering Aries then and separating from a trine to the Leo Sun, another indication of bold “new beginnings” in the works.

Hope you have a good one! Please be safe and well.

daily astrology, Mars sextile Pluto, Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer, reform, transformation

Cosmic Weather:

“Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.” Gautama Buddha

Mental Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer at 14 degrees (at 12:59 am): The winged messenger is now the fifth planet currently retrograde, with the other four being Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto. Generally, retrograde motion signifies a time when we review or reassess the past. Too, with so many planets in apparent backward motion now, it may be harder for us to move forward.

With intellectual Mercury Rx in protective, nesting Cancer, we are likely re-thinking/re-framing issues centering around the home and family (including our ancestral or historic past), safety and security, patriotism/nationalism, and self-care or nurturing. Ideally, Mercury’s Rx cycle will generate deep insights for us, particularly on more of a gut-level. Mercury will remain retrograde until July 12th.

Mars in Pisces sextile Pluto Rx in Capricorn (at 7:08 pm): This can symbolize the arrival or deployment of reforms or strategies or approaches that can help to positively transform or turn our world around. We may also feel more empowered to pursue our dreams or ideals with more intensity.

(The last time we had Mars in Pisces exactly sextile Pluto in Capricorn was December 17th-18th of 2018.

Some highlights back then:

Elon Musk opened the 1.6km-long Boring Test (Pluto-ruled) Tunnel in Hawthorne, California, which is designed to demonstrate technology that will transport cars at high speeds below the city;

Astronomers also announced the discovery of trans-Neptunian object 2018-VG, the most distant object in the Solar System ever observed;

The U.S. Department of Justice also issued a final regulation banning the use of bump stocks, which allow semi-automatic (Mars-ruled) rifles to be fired at a rate similar to that of automatic weapons and became infamous following the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting. – From Wikipedia)

Born On This Day: Beatle Paul McCartney. He’s turning 78!

“I am the eternal optimist. No 
matter how rough it gets, there’s always light somewhere. The rest of the sky may be cloudy, but that little bit of blue draws me on.” P.M.

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

beliefs, daily astrology, Moon in Taurus, stability, Sun quinqunx Jupiter, tolerance, Venus trine Juno

Cosmic Weather:

“Think for yourself and let others enjoy the privilege of doing so too.” Voltaire

Sun in Gemini quinqunx Jupiter Rx in Capricorn, 3:33 am: While we may feel uncomfortable in the face of beliefs or convictions that are contrary to our own or that we do not understand, exposing ourselves to other viewpoints or philosophies could bring some teachable moments that serve to not only stretch our perceptions but also possibly raise our level of tolerance. On the shadow side, exaggerated confidence or arrogance could find us glossing over or dismissing details.

Waning Moon Enters Taurus, 5:35 am: With Luna in the sign of the bull, there is more of an innate need for security, stability, and consistency as well as a greater affinity for pleasures of the physical plane.

Venus Retrograde in Gemini trine Juno in Libra, 6:07 am: Ideally helps us to express ourselves and listen to others in a more balanced or cooperative manner. This can be a favorable time to review or revisit partnership agreements.

*All times EDT.

On This Day in History:  On June 16, 2015, TV personality and real estate mogul Donald Trump launched his campaign for the Republican nomination for US President. He made his announcement at the lavish Trump Towers on Fifth Avenue in New York.

Interestingly, in the stars, that day, there was a New Moon in opinionated Gemini that was almost exactly conjunct fiery, self-assertive Mars (one-degree). New Moons, of course, provide momentum for new beginnings. Too, with warrior Mars conjunct both the Sun and Moon in Gemini, there was inexhaustible energy for communication. The Sun also rules power and authority and often when it is conjunct Mars we are clued or alerted for changes in leadership.

Also, expansive Jupiter was in pompous, kingly Leo and exactly trine unconventional Uranus in Aries. The Jupiter-Uranus trine here could symbolize, among other things, exposure to a perspective or philosophy that is unusual or unique (if not a bit flashy or theatrical). Jupiter-Uranus energy also tends to push the limits and can often be quite controversial. 

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

compassion, creativity, daily astrology, idealism, self-assertion

Cosmic Weather:

“It is easier to believe in the ideal than it is to achieve it, but it is impossible to achieve the ideal if one does not believe in it.” Josh Steimie

With motivating Mars conjunct idealistic Neptune in Pisces (at 10:13 am) our actions may be guided now more by our dreams, fantasies, or illusions than perhaps by tangible reality. This can also be an especially creative time for artistic endeavors that rely largely on imagination or inspiration. Others of us may also feel a strong pull toward the spiritual or transcendent realm, as well as maybe feel more singularly directed by a sense of selflessness or compassion or unconditional love. Too, in some cases, Mars-Neptune can give rise to elements of martyrdom in which we can feel compelled to give ourselves over to a larger cause.

On the shadow side, Mars-Neptune alignments can also occasionally be very ego-denying, which can sometimes result in second-guessing or even doubting ourselves as firm backing from others may be harder or more elusive for us to obtain now. Or, it’s also possible that we may simply be feeling more misunderstood or misrepresented at this time. In some instances, Mars-Neptune aspects are also linked with actual retreat or surrender on matters, as Mars rules the urge for assertion and merged with dissolving, diffusive Neptune there can be an erosion or subjugation of that urge. It may also be the case that there’s simply not enough physical energy available to power our moves now or to want to deal with or take on any opposition.

Generally, Mars-Neptune aspects are often a good time to just chill out or relax, go with the flow, regroup our energies, turn inward and reflect until a clearer perspective re-emerges on the horizon – which it will – and we feel, once again, on more solid footing, more confident of what the next right step should be.

*All times EDT

Astrology Past: The last time we had Mars conjunct Neptune in Pisces (December 6, 2018), U.S. President George H.W. Bush was laid to rest next to his wife and daughter at his presidential library in College Station, Texas. Five living presidents, family, friends, and dignitaries from around the country and the world filled Washington National Cathedral for his funeral.

“We are a nation of communities…a brilliant diversity spread like stars, like a thousand points of light in a broad and peaceful sky.” George H.W. Bush

daily astrology, inspiration, Moon in Sagittarius, Moon sextile Saturn, vision

Cosmic Weather:

“When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.” Audre Lorde

The cosmic traffic is lighter today as we head into tomorrow’s Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse. Luna, which sets the emotional tone or tenor, shifts around midday (1:17 pm) from deeper, darker Scorpio – an orientation focused more on the less obvious or subterranean root causes of things – to adventurous, aspirational Sagittarius (1:17 pm).

With the Waxing Moon deposited in fire-sign Sadge, we are more apt to want to directly act out our emotions. Our actions, at this time, also tend to be fueled more by our ideals, personal beliefs, or convictions. Shortly after Luna enters Sagittarius, it also sextiles responsibility-oriented Saturn Rx in innovative, more progressive Aquarius (at 3:43 pm). This may direct us to focus our attention on taking more practical steps that have a higher probability of yielding tangible results in the real world.

“The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.” Henry David Thoreau

daily astrology, love, Moon in Scorpio, On This Day in History, Sun conjunct Venus, transformation

Cosmic Weather:

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

Retrograde Venus (the goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and money) is in inferior conjunction with the Sun in Gemini today (at 1:44 pm), denoting the midpoint cycle of Venus’s current retrograde cycle as well as a symbolizing a new beginning in the Sun and Venus relationship. This conjunction also marks the transition from Venus as an evening star to a morning star.

Archetypally, sweet Venus tends to work as a harmonizer or balancer and retrograde in the communication sign of Gemini, there is potentially more promise now for soothing words or gestures to be able to work their special healing magic to fill what was perhaps an earlier void or lack of connection. This Sun-Venus alignment generally rallies us to put more energy into such things as being friendly or outgoing as the relationship realm is something that becomes much more vital or important now to who we are and how we see ourselves.

Too, with Venus retrograde, it could be that we have important new insights about the overall nature of our relationship or social or material needs as well as maybe glean a better understanding or perspective of what it is that we genuinely value or require in our lives order for us to feel truly happy or at least more emotionally content.

On another level, Sun-Venus aspects often help to generate more ease or flow in financial matters and may coincide with an increased desire to be surrounded by things of beauty, luxury, or objects of art.

The Waxing Moon is also in probing Scorpio, all day, suggesting our emotions are more intense at this time and our perceptions are potentially sharper. Often when Luna is here we are looking to become more fully engaged with or impassioned by our experiences. There can also be more ability or readiness for transformation. On a higher level, Scorpio represents a phoenix rising from the ashes.

“Scared and sacred are spelled with the same letters. Awful proceeds from the same root word as awesome. Terrify and terrific. Every negative experience holds the seed of transformation.” Alan Cohen

*All times EDT.

On This Day in History: On June 3, 1965, astronaut Edward H. White became the first American to “walk” in space during the flight of Gemini 4. White floated free outside the spacecraft, tethered to it, for approximately 20 minutes. Gemini 4 would also be the first multi-day (four-day) space flight by the United States, designed to show that it was possible for humans to remain in Outer space for extended lengths of time.  (Wikipedia)

Astrologically, that day, expansive Jupiter, the empowering Sun, and the future-oriented North Node were conjunct in mobile, environmentally-curious Gemini and all were square to breakthrough Uranus, the planetary ruler of space travel and technology. Revolutionizing Uranus was also conjunct transformational Pluto in perfecting Virgo, the zodiacal sign which is associated with tangibly improving our skill set or expertise. 

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

curiosity, daily astrology, Henry Ford announces the ending of the production of the Model T, innovation, liberation, Mars sextile Uranus, mercury quinqunx pluto, nurturing

Cosmic Weather:

“Liberation means you don’t have to be silenced.” Toni Morrison

Something unexpected or novel could be a catalyst, or serve as fodder, for sending us off in a potentially stimulating or liberating new direction that we maybe had not consciously anticipated. This is also a good time to perhaps fashion fresh approaches to old problems or stalemate situations as the innovative Mars-Uranus energy tends to awaken both our “inner tinkerer” and “inner reformer.”

Intellectual Mercury is also quinqunx Pluto Rx supplying us with, among other things, plenty of curiosity regarding what lies below the surface of matters. Archetypally, intense Mercury-Pluto energy can often operate a bit like a dog with a bone in that once it grabs ahold of an idea or a strategy, it doesn’t let go.

Waxing Luna is also in her home sign of nurturing Cancer, all day, so we are naturally attracted to outlets now that draw out or play to our emotions.

(Mars in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus, at 2:48 am; Mercury in Gemini quinqux Pluto Rx in Capricorn, 12:26 am.)

*All times EDT.

On This Day in History: On May 25, 1927, Henry Ford announces that he is ending production of the Model T Ford, a car that’s credited with “putting the world on wheels.” Reportedly, the vehicle was discontinued because it had become technologically obsolete.

In the astrology, that day, the empowering Sun was in “transportation-ruling” Gemini and applying to a one-degree opposition to “curtailing” Saturn in futuristic Sagittarius. Sun-Saturn aspects, particularly the opposition, are often associated with phasing out what is no longer working or essential for us.

Meanwhile, on the very next day, May 26th, when the Sun-Saturn opposition was exact, Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company produced the last – and 15th million – Model T Ford / Tin Lizzie.

Remember and Honor this Memorial Day. Please be safe and well!
