Alan Cohen quote on transformation, Astrology September 4 2015, Deflategate, discovery of EGS-zs8-1, Force Friday, horoscope september 4 2015, investigation, renewal, Sun trine pluto

“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

Butterfly, Insect, Wing, Wildlife, Bug

Today’s Energy:

Rising from the ashes. Turning over a new leaf. Stepping into our own power. The potent and renewing “Sun trine Pluto” aspect – exact tomorrow at 7:08 pm but already applying – may correlate with a manifestation of all or any of these type scenarios. It is generally regarded as an influence of “emergence,” after some form of struggle. Ideally representing a “flowering of consciousness” as the doors of our perceptions are suddenly opened wider and we are able to take in or witness more of the mysteries of the universe and be somehow awakened or transformed in the process.

We are possibly deliberately seeking, at this time, what we hope will be a deeper or more meaningful connection to the people and world around us. Part of this connection may also be forged or felt through partaking in some manner of investigation or discovery, with Pluto symbolizing what is hidden or below the surface (Pluto also depicts our subconscious). Now with the illuminating Sun aligned with mysterious Pluto, what has been secret begins to rise to the surface for full preview. The Sun-Pluto trine influence will be around for the next two or three days.

The Sun-Pluto energy is also associated with expressing deeply held convictions or emotions, sexual intimacy, surgical procedures, involvement with estate and will matters or legacy/ succession issues, purging, refurbishing / renovation projects, power struggles and coups d’états.

Interestingly, earlier this year, during the Sun’s first annual “waxing trine” to Pluto (May 5th – 7th), is when scientists announced the discovery of EGS-zs8-1, reportedly the oldest and most distant galaxy ever observed. Also, Archaeornithura meemannae, a new species of prehistoric bird that represents the oldest known member of the modern bird lineage, was discovered. Additionally, archeologists in Madagascar announced the partial discovery of Captain Kidd’s treasure. Too, the NFL reportedly found that two New England Patriots’ employees deliberately deflated footballs in a game against the Indianapolis Colts and that Patriots’ quarterback Tom Brady was generally aware of the deflation. (May 2015 Wikipedia).

Fascinatingly, on the heels of the present and waning “Sun trine Pluto” aspect (there are two Sun Pluto trines a year), a judge has just overturned the NFL’s four-game suspension of Tom Brady in Deflategate, with the NFL appealing the ruling.

Also, very fittingly, today has been billed “Force Friday” as hundreds of toys and other items pertaining to Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens, go on sale, nearly four months before the movie even comes out! Disney launched the event with a massive “unboxing” (example of the unearthing Pluto energy) on YouTube. Many astrologers also refer to Pluto as the personification of “Darth Vader.”

Questions for Today: Where have you held yourself back? What are you really seeking in life? Where does your power come from?

Astrology September 3, 2015 – Some Fog Ahead (Mercury Quinqunx Neptune)

astrology september 3 2015, foggy vision, horoscope september 3 2015, Mercury quinqunx Neptune, Moon in Taurus, positive thinking, wishful thinking

“It’s a lack of clarity that creates chaos and frustration. Those emotions are poison to any living goal.” Steve Maraboli

Sunrise, Foggy, Countryside, Morning

Today’s Energy:

While the Moon remains in “grounding” Taurus all day, intellectual Mercury is forming a quinqunx to “vague” Neptune. The challenge with this aspect is to strive to be as clear as possible in our thinking as we can, while conceding at the same time that we may not be in possession of all the information that we would like to have to craft our decisions. The phrase “on a wing and a prayer” comes to mind here. Mercury-Neptune is also specifically associated with “wishful thinking” due to the fantasy nature of Neptune.

Questions for Today: How do you differentiate between “positive thinking” and “wishful thinking?” In general, how comfortable are you at “winging it?” What do you typically do – what steps do you take – to gain greater clarity on matters?

Astrology for September 2, 2015: The Moon’s in Anchoring Taurus

Aristotle on energy, decluttering, feeling grounded, Moon in Taurus, Moon sextile Neptune, Moon trine Jupiter, moon trine sun, women's issues

“Relax, let go, allow, and recognize that some of your desires are about how you think your world should be, rather than how it is in that moment. Become an astute observer…judge less and listen more. Take time to open your mind to the fascinating mystery and uncertainty that we all experience.” Wayne Dyer (May 10,1940 – August 29, 2015)

Today’s Energy:

The Moon’s shift into “anchoring” Taurus (5:02 am) helps us to see the wisdom in going at things at our own pace – particularly if that pace includes some time for partaking in pleasurable or leisure activities. Communing with nature can also be especially grounding and renewing for us now. “Is not a dew-drop on a blade of grass more beautiful than a pearl set in gold? Friedrich Max Muller. The Moon remains in Taurus until Friday morning (7:48 am).

The Moon trining “altruistic” Jupiter in “service-oriented Virgo” (1:01 pm) endows us with a sense of peace and goodwill toward others – especially if we’re operating from our nobler side. This is also excellent energy for dealing with people from other cultures or backgrounds, promoting women’s issues, or for making improvements in the home, including any re-organizing or de-cluttering efforts. This might also be a good time to air out the house; let it breath and release trapped energies.

Moon sextile to “transcendent” Neptune in Pisces (6:54 pm) guides us to experience more of a sense of inner calmness or stillness. The worries of the day tend to drift away now like gentle waves receding along the shoreline. A wonderful time, perhaps, to dine by candlelight, be by water, or to take in a movie or play.

Moon trining the life-giving Sun in “productive” Virgo (10:06 pm) enhances our physical vitality and personal sense of power. Our energies are flowing now in a more unobstructed manner. If we’re so inclined, we may want to consider using this time period for tending to important work-related projects, career strategizing, or for business/ investment planning.

Interestingly, it was Aristotle who reportedly first coined the word ‘energy’ to express the concept of “vigor of expression.” He also believed “the energy of the mind is the essence of life.”

Astrology for July 31, 2015: A Full Moon in Aquarius

31 Friday Jul 2015

astrology july 31 2015, Full Moon in Aquarius 2015, Full Moon on July 31 2015, group causes, individuality, love, stepping outside our comfort zone, Venus moves retrograde into Leo July 31 2015

“To find out what is truly individual in ourselves, profound reflection is needed; and suddenly we realize how uncommonly difficult the discovery of individuality is.” Carl Jung

Today’s Energy:

There is a Full Moon in “avant-garde” Aquarius (6:43 am). This particular Full Moon is also termed a “Blue Moon” because it is the second Full Moon in a calendar month. Venus, the Goddess of love, also retrogrades back into “self-expressive” Leo, today, where it joins Jupiter, Mercury, and the Sun.

Full Moons provide us with more light by which to see, both symbolically and literally, with today’s Full Moon in Aquarius serving to spotlight our “individuality” – or what it is that sets us apart from the crowd. It is a wonderful time for us to cast an eye upon our special talents or gifts (Sun in Leo), and figure out how we can harness them more fully to make the unique contribution to the collective that only we can make (Moon in Aquarius). As Carl Jung notes above, excavating what is truly individual in us is often a complex pursuit that requires serious attention on our part, as well as plenty of patience and commitment. Most assuredly, however, this process is always worthwhile, especially as we begin to behold glimpses of our “unique, original mold” and are able to increasingly lay claim to it, creatively bringing it to life, in all of its glory, for whatever purpose it – we – were originally intended, by the powers that be. Too, we can always know whether we are on track with our purpose by the sense of passion that we feel inside ourselves. The more intellectually detached Aquarius energy that is highlighted now is also naturally drawn to this kind of personal observation or discovery, as it imparts a flair for analysis and experimentation.

Since the sign of Aquarius also symbolizes an individual’s immersion into a group – ideally, for the betterment of all – this Full Moon in Aquarius can also be a time when we seek out a tribe or network that is a good match for our personal values and beliefs, or that lines up with the special causes that we espouse or care so dearly about. Of course, we all know, too, that we can do much more collectively than we can on our own, which is perhaps why we have been wired to be such social creatures. So much of nature, of which we are but a small part, works together in unison to leave its mark.

Social Venus is also retrograding back into “theatrical” Leo, today, affording us a special chance to dance solo, for a while, to what makes our heart sing. With Venus retrograde, we continue to focus our attention on improving the quality of the intimate relationship that we have with ourselves, including perhaps rediscovering our values or discerning what it is that brings us the most joy or pleasure. “When a woman becomes her own best friend life is easier.” Diane von Furstenberg.

ambition, astrology july 30 2015, career goals, doing what is required, duties and responsibilities, Full Moon in Aquarius 2015, horoscope july 30 2015, Moon sextile Saturn

“It is not enough that we do our best; sometimes we must do what is required.” Winston Churchill

Today’s Energy:

The Moon is in “stay the course” Capricorn until 5:40 pm; it is void from 2:50 pm to 5:40 pm. At 5:40 pm, Luna enters “bohemian” Aquarius and is no longer in its void-of-course phase. The Moon will remain in Aquarius until early Saturday evening (6:36 pm).

As the Moon winds up her monthly stay in Capricorn, there may be a desire to complete important projects today, particularly as they pertain to our career or public life. The Moon’s sextile to “stabilizing” Saturn (2:50 pm) also works in a positive way to solidify our various efforts in these areas; it is an aspect associated with taking responsibility and doing what is required. The Irish poet W.B. Yeats once remarked, “In dreams begin responsibilities.” Or, to put it another way, responsibilities can be indications that our dreams are taking shape. Sometimes, too, we get so busy in our doing that we seem to forget that duties and dreams, go hand in hand; that there is always a price to pay for everything. Too, the trick is to find a way to maximize our joy, as we go about pursuing our long-term goals. The song “Whistle While You Work” from the Disney classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, comes to mind here.

We also may be experiencing a sense that something is building or cresting inside us of now, on the heels of tomorrow’s “illuminating” Full Moon in Aquarius. Full Moons represent a cycle of completion, a culmination. The intentions that we set at the Cancer New Moon, two weeks ago, are also beginning to come to fruition. Too, this is the second full moon this month, an occurrence referred to as a “Blue Moon.” Two Full Moons may occur in any month of the year except for February, which is shorter than the lunar cycle.

astrology July 29 2015, decluttering, hidden motivations, horoscope July 29 2015, mercury quinqunx pluto, Moon conjunct Pluto, purging, recycling, refurbishing projects

“It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.” – Leonardo Da Vinci

Today’s Energy:

The waxing Moon continues its journey through “ambitious” Capricorn. The Moon remains there through late Thursday afternoon (5:41 pm).

Luna’s monthly meetup with “insightful” Pluto (2:23 pm) may shine a spotlight on our deeper feelings, or hidden motivations. This is also thought to be excellent energy for purging, recycling, or refurbishing projects.

Sometimes, too, it ends up that we only discover our deepest needs or desires after we have managed to eliminate all the clutter or miscellany around us. Karen Kingston, author of Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui, says the desire to possess things comes directly from the ego. “Your spirit already knows you own nothing. It is a matter of realizing that your happiness does not depend on your ownership of things. They help you in your journey but they are not the journey itself.”

Intellectual Mercury is also quincunx Pluto today. This can possibly put more passion and intensity into our communications; however, we may need to watch out for becoming too obsessed with an idea.

astrology for july 28 2015, cooperation, goodwill, horoscope july 28 2015, Moon trine Jupiter, moon trine venus, peace

When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.” Rumi

The Moon wraps up her stay in inquisitive Sagittarius with a flowing trine to benevolent, philosophical Jupiter in exuberant Leo (9:37 am). A wonderful opportunity for us to spread a touch of joy and goodwill around. Mark Twain once noted that “to get the full value of joy you must have someone to divide it with.” A warm, positive sentiment that is really a perfect fit, too, for this more upbeat Moon-Jupiter energy, which naturally serves to activate our “inner philanthropist”; also, our “inner Santa.” Psychology experts also say that we tend to feel better about ourselves when we are involved in activities in which we feel we’re making a contribution to the welfare of others – versus simply occupying ourselves with more self-serving kinds of endeavors. Moon-Jupiter aspects can also make us more aware of the legacy we’re leaving behind.

The Moon enters productive Capricorn, mid-afternoon (2:47 pm), harmoniously trining affectionate Venus in Virgo (3:44 pm). This cordial aspect should also help to put us in a more cooperative, easygoing spirit, particularly in the workplace (Virgo). It’s also a time when we can more effortlessly build upon our successes, as we seem to be able to more adeptly gauge exactly what our next steps should be to move ourselves forward now, with the Capricorn Moon innately having an affinity or talent for extracting from our past, whatever is most useful for us to know or entertain in the present moment. Others are also more apt or willing to help us achieve our goals now, especially when we approach them in a more pleasant, agreeable (Venusian) manner.

astrology july 26 2015, horoscope july 26 2015, individuality, personal freedom, uranus stations retrograde in Aries July 26 2015

“I think the reward for conformity is that everyone likes you except yourself.” Rita Mae Brown

Uranus, the planet of individuality, independence, innovation and change stations retrograde today in “self-discovery” Aries – just a day after lovable Venus did the same thing in “refining” Virgo. With Uranus retrograde – an annual cycle that lasts for about five months – we’re sizing up, in part, some of our recent changes or actions to see how they’ve accommodated or matched who we truly are at our core. Too, we may want to reflect upon now how comfortable we typically are when it comes to embracing the whole notion of innovation or progressive change, in our lives.

Also, another area possibly up for consideration or review now is the matter of personal freedom or independence in our lives – just what does that mean to us and how important is it to us that we maintain a certain freedom of movement in our affairs? Many of us often say, for instance, that we really need to have our own freedom, our own space – especially in relationships; but then, at the end of the day, we often may find ourselves backpedaling on this issue because we discover that we also need to have a deep sense of connection with others – that, being alone and on our own, is not always as glamorous or wonderful as it’s sometimes cracked up to be.

On a collective level, since Uranus also governs such issues as equality and diversity, with Uranus retrograding now, we also may want to ponder or think about just how welcoming or accepting we have been – or tend to be – towards those persons who are perhaps different from us, who maybe come from different cultures, or possibly espouse different religions, values, etc. “A lot of different flowers make a bouquet.” – Muslim Origin

Uranus will be retrograde until December 25th.

This date in history: The United States Post Office was created in Philadelphia in 1775 under Benjamin Franklin. (At the time, Saturn in social Libra, symbolizing infrastructure or support, was harmoniously trining innovative Uranus in Gemini, the sign of the messenger. The formation of the post office, of course, made it possible for the public to enjoy greater written communication access to each other in a faster, more reliable way, with trusty Saturn putting a sturdy floor under a new “Uranian” way of doing business.)

astrology july 25 2015, horoscope july 25 2015, innovation, love, Mars square Uranus, Moon in Scorpio, transformation, venus stations retrograde in virgo july 25 2015

“We loved with a love that was more than love.” Edgar Allen Poe

Venus, the planet of love, beauty, money, and values, is stationing retrograde today at 0 degrees of Virgo. This apparent backward-moving cycle will last until September 6 – a natural time for us turn inward and reflect upon our needs for love, as well as a period to possibly re-assess our overall financial picture, and what it is that we truly value in our lives, and also, consequently, what we hope to attract in the future.

Sometimes, with Venus retrograde, we also find ourselves dealing with past relationships – or people from the past may suddenly intersect our orbit again. American writer and historian, Washington Irving, once wisely remarked that love is something that is never really lost. “If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart.” Most definitely, a very healing sentiment, and something that we may also want to keep close to our heart now, especially if we should encounter someone more difficult or problematic from our past, in the days ahead – someone who may have rebuffed or spurned our romantic overtures, for whatever reason. There’s also another quote, quite timely here, that says, “Rejection is protection.” Can’t recall who said that, but it’s also certainly another way of looking at “lost love” in a very positive manner that can help to make us feel better about some of our former liaisons that may have ended on a sour note. It can also be very uplifting for us to not view romances that have gone astray as merely “failures,” but rather to look upon them as possibly enlightening seminars instructing us on the truest or purest intentions of our heart; often we require contrasting or challenging experiences in order to figure things out, or to unveil what’s hidden within the complex depths of our being.

Motivating Mars is also square rebellious Uranus today – a galvanizing aspect that will continue to linger around for the next day or two. This configuration can increase our desire for personal freedom and excitement or adventure, but we may want to avoid making any big changes just for the sake of change, especially on the domestic or family front (Mars in Cancer); Mars-Uranus is associated, on the shadow side, with acting prematurely, or without regard for the long-term consequences – a strategy that usually tends to backfire on us. On the plus side, this planetary pairing can be very innovative, helping us to see old issues or problems in a new light. Uranus is also stationing retrograde tomorrow, perhaps adding more weight to this particular aspect now. The Moon is also in intense, transformative Scorpio, all day, a lunar placement that can serve to duly prime us for drama or intrigue. It could be that we’re hot on the trail of something big now, our sleuth juices overflowing! 🙂

astrology July 13 2015, Greece getss bailout plan, hope, horoscope july 13 2015, imagination, Iran nuclear talks, peace, trust, vision

“The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.” Barbara Kingsolver

Communications flow more seamlessly today, and are steeped with inspiration, as articulate Mercury trines idealistic Neptune, an aspect that also aligns us with our long-term vision and the hopes that we hold for our life, as well as for the people that we love. There’s also more of a willingness and ability now, to step inside another person’s shoes, and see what that person is thinking and feeling – something which can also lead to a deeper sense of connection and trust between people. The late Stephen R. Covey referred to trust as the “glue of life,” and said that it was the “foundational principle that holds all relationships.”

Because Mercury also rules contracts, when it’s aligned with the more surrendering, diffusive, unifying Neptunian energy, we also see, sometimes, more of an inclination to sign, or at least negotiate, peace treaties, or other similar kinds of agreements. Too, Mercury-Neptune carries a strong creative component, making it an ideal time to work on projects that require the use of our imagination or envisioning skills.

The waning Crescent Moon also remains in curious, breezy Gemini, all day, making harmonious aspects to Uranus (originality), 8:50 am, Jupiter (optimism), 3:21 pm, and Venus (love and our power attraction), 11:31 pm.

*All times EDT.

Famous People with Mercury Trine Neptune: Meryl Streep, Mia Farrow, Michael J. Fox, Shirley Temple Black, Vanessa Redgrave

In the News: Iran and world powers close to striking a nuclear deal. Also, Greece receives a three-year bailout in exchange for tough reforms.
