Cosmic Weather:

“In the age of the individuals’ liquidation, the question of individuality must be raised anew.” – Theodor W. Adorno

This Monday morning, Waxing Luna wraps up her stay in quirky, freedom-loving Aquarius, where the gravitational pull to dance or prance around to the beat of our own bongo drum can be pretty compelling and hard to resist! 🙂 Luna’s void of course phase – from 5:19 am to 12:35 pm – also favors finishing up old projects instead of starting anything new. This may also be a good period to update technology or our social media accounts,

The Moon’s entrance into sensitive, compassionate Pisces (12:36 pm) ideally helps to soften some of our rough edges. It is also a good time for doing bodywork or things like Tai Chi or yoga – anything that tends to connect us up with our inner world.

Vesta’s conjunction with Neptune (3:01 pm) – the planetary ruler of Pisces – may inspire a heavenly-type devotion to something we love.

“Your destiny is to fulfill those things upon which you focus most intently. So choose to keep your focus on that which is truly magnificent, beautiful, uplifting and joyful. Your life is always moving towards something.” – Ralph Marston

*All times EST

On This Day in History: On January 23, 1973, US President Richard Nixon announces an accord has been reached to end the Vietnam War.

Astrologically, that day, the Moon was in diplomatic Libra; agreement negotiator Mercury had just entered humanistic Aquarius at 0 degrees; warrior Mars in Sagittarius was separating from an opposition to contracting Saturn in Gemini, suggesting a cessation of hostilities; and expansive Jupiter – in government-ruling Capricorn – was exactly square to breakthrough Uranus, which was also deposited in peace-loving Libra, beside the Moon. Jupiter-Uranus aspects are sometimes associated with seismic type changes or developments in an effort to boldly turn things around.

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

Astrology January 21, 2023: New Moon in Aquarius

Cosmic Weather:

“You don’t have to compose a masterpiece every time, but I think the challenge of art is always searching for something different, searching for a new sensitivity, a new perspective, a new vision.” – Ludovico Einaudi

Today’s New Moon in cutting-edge, humanistic Aquarius (3:55 pm) ideally helps us to see our world – and the future – with a fresh set of eyes. It encourages us to dabble with new methods, new approaches; to strike up new alliances, partnerships, or friendships with persons who may not normally intersect our cozy little orbit, perhaps, in a bid, to get a new perspective or alternate take on things; or to possibly turn ourselves over to causes that are bigger than us in the hopes of maybe creating much needed change in the collective.

It could be, too, that this New Moon in social-minded Aquarius paves the way for us to hook up with members of our own tribe or those individuals who are on the same page or wavelength as us and, as a result of those connections, we are able to reach new heights of awareness or realize possibilities that may not have even previously been on our radar screen. It’s like the ripple effect: we do one thing, and that thing leads to another. Then another.

Also, oftentimes, key discoveries are made – or important changes occur or are set into motion – in the aftermath of engaging in something as simple as a brainstorming session. Or maybe just playing around with things or switching things up. It’s not like we always have to move heaven or earth in order to get things where we want them. Sometimes, just taking small steps can yield seismic results – especially if done regularly over time. Or so the experts say.

For instance, if you like to cook, you probably enjoy experimenting with different recipes and know that when you maybe change or alter the ingredients, or the amounts used – even sometimes just slightly – you often end up with a whole new dish or taste, for better or worse. Too, if you concoct something in the kitchen you don’t like, you don’t have to make it again. It’s that simple! You have the power!

Ditto the same for other aspects of our lives as well: If we don’t like the results that we are getting in an area, then we maybe should consider – and with very good reason – stopping doing the type of activity that is generating those less than thrilling outcomes and try something else instead. Too, remember what Einstein reportedly once said: Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.

Transformational Pluto in Capricorn is conjunct the New Moon. This is highly focused energy that is particularly supportive for overhauling or revamping matters. Also, expansive Jupiter in Aries sexiles the lunation. This potentially amplifies the results or reach of our efforts or intentions. It also may help to move things along very quickly. Jupiter is also excellent for providing us with a big dream or vision, especially when it is in the pioneering sign of Aries. Too, the ruler of Aries – Mars in busy Gemini – just went direct and is trining this New Moon – presumably another flashing go-ahead signal for us. It also never hurts to have the energizer bunny on our side when we are trying to get things kicked off.

Also, lastly, liberating Uranus, the planet of change, innovation, and revolution – and the modern ruler of this Aquarius lunation – is stationing direct in Taurus tomorrow, after a five-month retrograde period. This suggests he’s very ready and eager to get back to constructing the future again and that he is also going to be insisting that all of us mere earthlings go along with him for the wild ride – whether or not we have all of our bags packed. So, we better get packing! 🙂

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” – Rumi

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

Astrology January 20, 2023: Sun Enters Aquarius

Cosmic Weather:

“Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.” ~ John F. Kennedy

Early this Friday morning, the Sun, which signifies the ego and basic urge to be, exited conventional Capricorn for experimental Aquarius (3:30 am), potentially setting the stage for us to channel or bring forth more of our spontaneous or unscripted side – or that part of our nature that perhaps seeks to chug along and do its own thing – make its own earth-shattering discoveries, live off the grid, etc., without having to feel unduly constrained or checked by the dictates or directives of the status quo.

Aquarius in Latin means “water bearer” or “cup bearer,” and its zodiac symbol of a man pouring water from a pitcher, suggests that Aquarius is concerned with infusing the world with new meaning. A good time to maybe seek to raise our vibration.

Uranus, the modern-day ruler of Aquarius, is viewed as an engine of change. It is linked with technology, innovation, and rapid advancement. It also rules our intuition as the higher octave of Mercury.

The sign of Aquarius also represents humanity, individuality, the collective, groups of people – as well as our network of friends and acquaintances. During Aquarius season we often seek to be a part of something larger. We are also often more interested in advocating for causes that are close to our heart.

We may also strive to be more accepting of others in an impersonal way – especially of the differences between us – even though we may also be more prone now to wanting to speak our minds, especially when we perceive things to be an affront or abridgement to our personal liberties. Aquarius is a fixed air sign, and can, consequentially, often adhere to very strong opinions or views – with natives of this sign often particularly fond of playing the role of the contrarian or devil’s advocate. The Sun will be in Aquarius until February 18th.

“People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

*All times EST

In the News: Yesterday US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated in a letter to congressional leaders that the US had reached its statutory debt limit (or debt ceiling) as of Thursday, and that Congress will need to take action by early June, to prevent default on its debt. On Wednesday, as you may recall, we had the annual Sun-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn; crisis-minded” Pluto – which typically excels at sounding the alarm bell – governs, among other things, debt and taxes, while Capricorn oversees the workings or machinations of government. 

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

Astrology January 18, 2023: Mercury Direct, Sun Conjunct Pluto

Cosmic Weather: 

“Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.” – Carl Jung

This Wednesday morning, Mercury is stationing direct in practical Capricorn (8:12 am) – the sign which governs career, responsibilities, reputation, and self-mastery. This suggests that some of the ideas, plans, or directives pertaining to these areas – that were maybe creatively fermented or concocted during Mercury’s three-week retrograde (or re-ordering) phase – will now begin to pick up some momentum or traction in the days and weeks ahead, allowing us to make forward progress in our lives.

Too, as thinker Mercury seemingly changes its direction in the sky now, it is thought that it is best to refrain from making any key decisions, for the moment, so as to allow some time for the planet to get re-oriented, a bit, to its surroundings.

The Sun and Pluto are also having their annual conjunction in Capricorn today (9:44 am), which can sometimes seem to rachet up the level of intensity in our lives as well as our surroundings. The Sun governs our ego, will, and sense of power, while Pluto symbolizes control and transformation.

While this aspect can manifest in various ways, sometimes it appears to coincide with a burning desire now for what could be regarded as wanting to implement extreme makeovers, or radical do-overs, sensing that what currently exists around us is either outworn or decaying and will perish soon without some kind of intervention – which may or may not exactly be the case – although it may certainly feel that way to us now. On a psychological side, this aspect tends to acquaint us with our shadow side, including our fears or possible manipulative impulses. Overall, this influence can often be a cathartic type of experience as it may motivate us to face down perhaps what scares us, or makes us feel uncomfortable, so that we can maybe make some changes that allow us to more confidently step into our own power.

Astrology January 17, 2023: Scorpio Moon Sextiles Sun and Pluto

Cosmic Weather:

“Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.” – Herman Hesse

This Tuesday morning, Luna in Scorpio is in her Waning Crescent Phase, and sextile to both the empowering Sun (7:36 am) and transformational Pluto in Capricorn (9:27 am) – a period which is perceived to be a boon – at least on paper – for any kind of purging, decluttering, or refurbishing projects, including on the corporate or business front.

Tomorrow, too, the annual Sun-Pluto conjunction will become exact. Often that pairing poises us to want to, among other things, closely scrutinize matters in a determined bid to exposing any possible weaknesses or kinks in the underlying infrastructure of things so we have a better idea of what maybe needs to be either shored up or pitched or possibly even reformulated. Pluto is linked with X-ray vision and tends to reveal what is hidden in the depths. This morning’s lunar aspects could also be a bit of a preview or test-run for what follows tomorrow.

And, of course, we also have homing pigeon Mercury stationing direct in Capricorn tomorrow.

In between all that, Luna will also shift into freedom-loving Sagittarius around lunchtime today (12:33 pm), which usually serves to stoke our visionary side.

*All times EST

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

Cosmic Weather:

“We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.” – J.K. Rowlin

This Friday the 13th the empowering Sun in ambitious Capricorn forms a closing sextile to transpersonal Neptune in Pisces (9:11 am). This more subtle influence sometimes nudges us to go beyond the normal confines of our personal egos to perhaps find some common ground or common purpose that can seemingly bring us all together – allow us to maybe temporarily dissolve or suspend our differences, particularly on a deeper emotional level. It is associated with the bestowal of empathy as well as compassion.

It can also sometimes serve to remind us, in the process, of the more fragile, tenuous nature of life itself as we navigate through the ever-complicated mysteries or complexities of daily life on the earth plane – never really knowing, from minute-to-minute, what may transpire next.

Additionally, with Neptune governing fantasy and imagination, today’s Sun-Neptune sextile may be a boost for our creativity.

*All Times EST

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

Astrology January 12, 2023: Mars Stations Direct in Gemini

Cosmic Weather:

“Were it not for the leaping and twinkling of the soul, man would rot away in his greatest passion, idleness.” – Carl Jung

On this second Thursday of January, perceived energy dynamo Mars – which is also thought to signify motivation, assertion, and aggression – finally stations direct in the communication and travel sign of Gemini today, at 8 degrees (3:56 pm) – after a more than two-month retrograde cycle which began on October 30th.

Too, if you remember, it was also around that same time – October 27th, to be precise – that Elon Musk acquired the social media platform Twitter for $44 billion. (Most definitely, lots of wild twists and turns with that one!)

Also, free speech and content moderation – both Gemini-ruled areas – have become pretty hot topics, really flashpoints for discussion, since Musk became Chief Twit at the company.

Also, yesterday’s massive FAA computer system outage that temporarily brought nearly all air travel to a total halt in the US was occurring at the same time mover and shaker Mars was pretty much motionless in the sky, ahead of today’s official direct stationing. Perhaps also symbolizing a final bit of icing on the Mars Rx-Mercury Rx double-layer cake! 🙂

So anyway, the bright hope today among many stargazers such as myself, is that with galvanizing Mars seemingly springing into direct motion again we will also, likewise, reclaim the spring in our step, in the days and weeks ahead (Mars will be in its shadow until mid-March) – assuming we have lost it, of course, in the first place – and go on to resume doing even greater things in the world, with the Mars Rx phase theoretically marking a pause period when we were, more or less, rethinking, redoing, overhauling many of our dashing Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dance steps in our already very crammed-full heads (thanks, in part, to all the Mars in Gemini heightened cognitive activity!)

Too, at the risk of becoming kind of misty-eyed here – even those of us with two left feet – are even beginning to feel a bit more optimistic now about the promising possibilities ahead. Just have to take down Mercury Rx in Capricorn on the 18th and we will pretty much be all set! One down, one to go! 🙂

*All times EST

Born On This Day: Swami Vivekananda (born Narendranath Datta), an Indian Hindu monk, philosopher, author, religious teacher, and the chief disciple of the Indian mystic Ramakrishna. He was a key figure in the introduction of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world; and is credited with raising interfaith awareness and bringing Hinduism to the status of a major world religion (Wikipedia):

Astrology January 11, 2023: A Grand Earth Trine

Cosmic Weather:

“Thinking: the talking of the soul with itself.” – Plato

This second Wednesday in January, we are treated to a Grand Earth Trine – courtesy of skilled maven Luna in Virgo. This type of configuration is created when a trio of planets in the Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn) form an equilateral triangle of three trines in the sky. In a nutshell, it is thought to be a boon for productivity and delivering concrete results.

Luna forms the first leg of this Grand Trine to intellectual Mercury Rx in Capricorn (9:58 am). Ideally, an excellent time to gather/reflect upon our thoughts or partake in constructive dialogue with others. We may also have more insight into the inner workings of our emotions at this time.

Too, if we have to speak or present things publicly today – particularly of a business or corporate nature – this Moon-Mercury trine may be a more advantageous time to do so since this flow of more pragmatic energy naturally lends itself well to discussing more granular topics such as facts and figures, presiding over spreadsheet presentations, detailing quarterly forecasts/reports etc. (although with Mercury Rx, there could still be some revisions with these matters, down the road).

Luna’s trine to inventive Uranus Rx in Taurus (4:17 pm). This completes the second leg of the Moon’s Grand Trine. It is a period in which we may be more experimental or spontaneous in our approaches, including perhaps with respect to managing our finances, possessions, or investments. It may also be a time when we enjoy social interactions with large groups of people or involvement in cause-related or civic activities. On an emotional level, we may feel a special burst of aliveness.

*All times EST

Born On This Day: William James (January 11, 1842 – August 26, 1910). James was an American philosopher, historian, and psychologist, and the first educator to offer a psychology course in the United States. James is considered to be a leading thinker of the late 19th century:

“We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep.”

Cosmic Weather:

“What we truly need to do is often what we most feel like avoiding.” – David Allen

Somewhat quieter on the celestial front today as we await Mars stationing direct in Gemini on Thursday.

The transition from Leo to Virgo is always rather stark, isn’t it? As we are essentially going from wanting to be the “life of the party” to officially becoming part of the late night “clean-up crew!” 🙂

Ideally, the Moon’s two-day transit of Virgo now will help us to become more self-disciplined, efficient, and productive. More solution minded. Allow us to build up or flex our organizational muscles. And hopefully inspire us to, overall, take better care of ourselves – body, mind, and spirit. It is also generally regarded as an excellent time to set up new daily routines or habits.

“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” – Jim Ryun

(Moon exits Leo and enters Virgo 10:15 am.)

*All times EST

Born On This Day: American singer Pat Benatar [Andrezejewski] in Brooklyn NY. Benatar is turning 70 today! “Love Is A Battlefield” remains one of Benatar’s best songs: it rose to No. 5 on the Hot 100, her highest place on the chart to date.

On This Day in History: RCA introduces the 45 RPM record in 1949. A format that would revolutionize pop music.

Astrologically, that day, intellectual Mercury and pioneering Mars were in a tight, two-degree conjunction in inventive Aquarius, the sign formally ruling technology. Mercury and Mars pairings can also often signal big events or situations that grab or generate the headlines. Meanwhile, artistic Venus in Gemini, governing music and the arts, was also in an exact opposition with revolutionizing Uranus in Sagittarius, the modern-day ruler of Aquarius. Venus also reflects what provides us with pleasure or amusement and often when linked with Uranus we long for a change of pace, including sometimes seeking out radically new experiences/people/situations that make us feel more alive.

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

Cosmic Weather:

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” – Lao Tzu

This Monday morning, the “Cosmic Lovers” are aligned in the sky, ideally boding well for romance or matters of the heart as well as socializing and endeavors that require cooperation or points of agreement. With Mars Rx, it is also possible that people or situations from our past somehow re-enter the picture now.

Too, with Mars in its retro phase, we may find that we are not quite as direct or forward as we normally might be, although we may still feel inside us a plethora of competitive and creative juices converging at this time.

Waning Luna will also remain in self-expressive Leo all day, which should lend more of a supportive portal for the manifestation of this more harmonious trine energy. Too, with this alignment occurring in air signs, we may feel a bit of an intellectual lift throughout the day.

(Venus in Aquarius Trine Mars Rx in Gemini, 10:22 am. Waning Moon in Leo Quincunx Sun in Capricorn, 12:25 pm.)

*All times EST

On This Day in History:  On January 9, 2007, Steve Jobs announced the first iPhone at the Macworld convention, receiving substantial media attention. Jobs announced that the first iPhone would be released later that year. On June 29, 2007, the first iPhone was released. (Wikipedia)

Astrologically, on 1/09/2007, communicator Mercury was in a tight conjunction with the empowering Sun in corporate Capricorn – an aspect that we also just had, this past weekend – and a time when we tend to be privy to important messages or communiques that can impact or shape our world in meaningful ways. Expansive Jupiter in futuristic Sagittarius was also applying (2 degrees) to an exact square to innovative Uranus, ruling technology – an aspect that I have frequently mentioned before here that is often thought to be linked with elements of genius (Uranus is the higher octave of intellectual Mercury). Jupiter’s activated ray also tends to extend the size and scope of things. Additionally, pioneering Mars in Sagittarius had also just completed an exact trine to structuring Saturn in creative Leo – suggesting a payback after a period of hard work.

“An iPod, a phone, an internet mobile communicator… these are NOT three separate devices! And we are calling it iPhone! Today Apple is going to reinvent the phone. And here it is.” – Steve Jobs
