COSMIC WATCH:

There’s a New Moon / Partial Solar Eclipse on November 25th in adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, putting a spotlight on the various areas associated with this sign: philosophy and our belief systems, religion, politics, publishing, higher education, the law, foreign cultures, and long-distance travel. The New Moon Eclipse is occurring at 2 degrees 37 minutes of Sadge (1:10 am EST).

New Moons traditionally usher in new beginnings, while the more highly-charged eclipses tend to “speed things up,” allowing us to “leapfrog” into the future at a seemingly much faster clip than during a standard New Moon. For example, things that we were maybe expecting to happen at a certain point, down the road, may suddenly be occurring now, at a much earlier timetable than anticipated.

Too, even though a New Moon puts a focus on new starts, there can also be abrupt endings that occur around the time of an eclipse. Or at the very least, feelings of finality, involving some events or situations in our lives.  We will want to pay attention to what house (area of life) in our personal horoscopes that the eclipse is falling in for possible clues to where some of this “transitioning” may be occurring, along with noting the planetary aspects this lunation is making in our charts. Eclipse points remain activated zones in our horoscopes for up to six months, although we usually feel their impact within a few days, either side of the event.

This New Moon Eclipse in Sagittarius is forming a flowing trine to liberating Uranus in spontaneous-acting Aries. This also suggests more of a positive receptivity, on our part, to change and discovery. Also, this bodes well for our being able to to adaptively roll with whatever may suddenly manifest for us with this eclipse. Uranus also rules our intuition, originality, and talent for innovation and invention. Accordingly, we may feel more inspired now to “do our own thing.” Expressing or articulating our opinions and points of view, as well as perhaps trying to rally others over to our way of thinking, may also be included here, with Sagittarius often harboring a mean evangelistic streak. It is the sign of preachers, after all. And politicians! It may be interesting, too, to pay more attention to the protest movements, in the collective, to see if they pick up more steam now. Also, there could be notable events occurring now in the world of politics, maybe even certain politicians exiting (eclipse) the scene. With Sadge also ruling publishing, we might want to eye what titles are being released now, especially if any of them might be game-changers for the collective.

Hopefully, too, with Uranus’s brilliant ray involved, we will also see some major scientific / technological feats, debuts, or discoveries around eclipse time. Uranus rules both  science and technology. With the long-distance travel sign of Sagittarius also involved, perhaps this will include astronomical discoveries or breakthroughs. Too, it could be that we experience personal breakthroughs (Uranus) in our consciousness now regarding our beliefs or higher purpose. Also, we may be able to problem-solve in a more “out of the box” way with the issues going on around us. We should at least challenge ourselves to do so now. Also, the inspiration of Uranus will often come to us as sudden flashes of intuition, so we may want to make sure that we quickly jot down our genius revelations when they appear, lest we soon forget them.

On the shadow side, what we may want to avoid doing now, with this eclipse, is making wholesale changes in our lives for the mere sake of change, without having a clear strategy in mind.  We may also need to carefully consider the consequences of our actions, in advance, so we don’t inadvertently self-sabotage ourselves. Too, the New Moon Eclipse is forming an awkward quinqunx aspect to exaggerating Jupiter in Taurus, the natural ruler of Sagittarius, which can easily incline us to overreach, overpromise, overindulge, and overspend, if we are not mindful.

With communicator Mercury, governing our thinking, also in retrograde phase in Sagittarius, during this eclipse, we are urged to double-check, triple-check, even quadruple-check all of the facts or details in matters, especially with regards to any travel plans, meetings, contracts or agreements. Too, the eclipse is widely square to impulsive, assertive Mars, which can also, on the negative side, scatter our focus and make us somewhat brazen or uncompromising. Of course, we do not have to venture down any of those prickly paths, if we consciously choose to stay on target with our more noble intentions and goals and act responsibly, with consideration for others. Cultivating and maintaining a keen mind-body awareness can also help us out here. When we pay close attention to how our body is feeling and functioning, in conjunction with our thoughts and our environment, we usually intuitively know when we are veering off course, or perhaps getting in over our head, or acting inappropriately. Our body rarely ever lies to us.

“Emotion always has its roots in the unconscious and manifests itself in the body.” Irene Claremont de Castillejo

Compatible activities or avenues of expression for the New Moon / Eclipse in Sagittarius: Teaching/ lecturing/ attending seminars, registering for new classes; writing and or self-publishing; learning new languages; socializing with people from other cultures; involvement with advertisement/PR campaigns; sales and cold-calling; self-promotion; involvement with politics and social causes; taking stands with respect to one’s beliefs; foreign travel; studying world religions; partaking/leading worship or church services; galloping with Trigger into the wild blue yonder at sunset 🙂

Scientific News Update 11/25/11: On the eve of this Solar Eclipse, which happened to trine “breakthrough” planet, Uranus, it was reported yesterday (published in Nature) that scientists have sequenced the genome of a widespread pest, the “spider mite.” The genome is reportedly the smallest arthropod genome sequenced so far.  The “spider mite” is a major cause for house plants turning yellow and getting sick. It reportedly costs $1 billion to control the spider mite annually.

Astrology November 11, 2011: Moon Squares Fuzzy Neptune

11 Friday Nov 2011

COSMIC WATCH:

In wake of the potent Full Moon yesterday, there still may be more of an emotional tenor to this day. This morning, the Moon in plodding, materially-minded Taurus, also squares off with fuzzy, elusive Neptune (11:28 am EST), so we may want to tread lightly, especially in financial matters. It is always a good idea, too, whenever we are dealing with Neptune’s nebulous ray, to simply stick with the facts, and to mute or dispel any pipe dreams and or irrational fears.

The Moon’s shift into breezy, disseminating Gemini (3:11 pm EST) provides us with more flexibility, as well as burgeoning intellectual curiosity over the next couple of days. The Moon’s square to restless Mars (3:53 pm EST), newly deposited in correcting, health-ruling Virgo, also suggests we may need to be more mindful and considerate of our physical energies and to not overtax our systems. Taking slow, deep, conscious breaths, and pausing for reflection, if only for a few moments, will likely hold some regenerative perks for us now, as well as offering us more options or alternatives for our behavior. Often with Moon-Mars, we react instinctively to things, without thinking, and thereby limit our range of choices. The pausing or disengaging, though, helps to widen our perspective because it, for one thing, affords us the chance to mull over or review issues. Also, the act of pausing opens the door for us to reconnect with our sacred intuition, a vehicle of expression from our higher self.

“To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.” Buddha

Enjoy your Friday! Would also like to salute and recognize all the veterans today.

Astrology November 10, 2011: Full Moon in Taurus

10 Thursday Nov 2011

COSMIC WATCH:

A Full Moon in slow-moving, earthy Taurus today, at 18 degrees (3:17 pm EST), puts a focus on finding contentment and enjoyment in the simpler pleasures of life. It also places a spotlight on our values, and may be able to provide us with added insight, clarity and feedback on how we are managing our resources. Too, what we attract to us is often a reflection of what we value. Maybe If we are unhappy or unfulfilled with the elements surrounding us at this Full Moon, it could be that we need to go inside ourselves and take a closer look at where we have been putting our focus lately. Perhaps we have been putting our attention in the wrong areas, investing our time and energy in the wrong things, and we need to make some adjustments now.  Full Moons can trigger crisis situations and turning points in consciousness. Too, it could be that pivotal events happening in the collective now may also have the net affect of helping to alter or reshape our values or belief systems.

Energy planet Mars, governing self-assertion, is also shifting from flashy, entertaining Leo into organizing, analytical Virgo today (11:15 pm EST), the sign of work and health, where it will stay until next July. With Mars in Virgo, there is an emphasis on honing or perfecting our skills or craft. It is also an excellent period for instituting positive health changes. For instance, we may be more driven and fired up to adhere to diets now. Or an exercise program. In the body, Virgo rules the intestines and the process of digestion. The intestines break down food particles so that they may be better assimilated. Symbolically, Mars in Virgo also energizes us to carefully digest our life experiences so that we may take away from them practical, useful substance or content. Virgo is a highly resourceful sign that helps to make us very self-sufficient. It is also a sign that takes pleasure in being of service or utility to others.

“Curiosity begins as an act of tearing to pieces or analysis.” Samuel Alexander

Full Moon blessings to you!

Astrology November 9, 2011: Neptune Stations Direct, Mars Opposes Neptune

09 Wednesday Nov 2011

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon’s ingress into plodding, deliberate Taurus the Bull (2:46 am EST) is an elixir for all things practical. The Taurus Moon is generally a very good grounding or stabilizing influence. It’s also ideal for gardening or planting activities, especially for planting above ground crops today, as the Moon is working up to its Full Moon phase tomorrow in this sign.

Too, the Moon’s monthly conjunction with buoyant Jupiter (10:21 am EST), the largest planet in our solar system, can help to put us in more hopeful and generous spirit, with Jupiter often billed as the cosmic Santa Claus. The Moon is also forming a potent trine to healing, regenerating Pluto, in success-oriented Capricorn (2:08 pm EDT), which is another earth sign. With Moon-Pluto energy, we often receive added clarity or insight into matters and can successfully re-plot our courses or strategies as a result. It is also an excellent influence for locating missing objects or ferreting out what has been hidden in general, including hidden within our subconscious (Pluto rules psychology and psychotherapy).

Neptune, the planet of spirituality and illusion, is also stationing direct today in hi-tech Aquarius (1:54 pm EDT), after going retrograde in Pisces, the sign of its rulership, in early June. Neptune will be leaving Aquarius for good in early February of 2012. It will not be back in the sign in our lifetimes.

During its passage through Aquarius, beginning in the late 1990s, we have, of course, seen an explosion in technology, which has created more connectedness among all of us via the internet. Neptune, too, perennially acts to dissolve boundaries. It’s labeled the “Great Dissolver.”

On the shadow side, though, Neptune can also foster addictions, dependencies, cover-ups and deception. Too, many of us have become psychologically and physically enslaved to our various technological devices with Neptune in the sign of the water bearer. Maybe with Neptune leaving Aquarius, we will be able to gradually wean ourselves away from those devices.

Thought it was very symbolic, too, that Steve Jobs died with Neptune getting ready to leave this sign, as he had done so many pioneering things for the tech industry, showered us with so many dazzling, magical gadgets to make life more convenient in various ways.

Also, on the shadow side, for the last several days with energizer Mars opposite dissolving Neptune, and earlier, Venus in Scorpio squaring Neptune, we have been hearing about major scandals in the collective. Also, there has been a plethora of nauseating finger-pointing and innuendo. We have also seen high-profile leaders topple from their positions of power.

Neptune, as I have mentioned here repeatedly, is the planet that is linked with scandal. It is also associated with resignations, surrender and “falls from grace.”

Too, it rules oil, and oil prices have been going up the last few days, mainly on fears that Iran is building nuclear weapons, a story that came to light in the collective yesterday with the rogue Sun-Uranus sesquiquadrate aspect.

On an individual level, with Neptune stationing direct now, we may want to see where in our personal lives, we have allowed ourselves to become deluded or addicted.

Where have we been harboring erroneous illusions? One clue here, too, is to look at the house (area of life) in our personal charts where Neptune is passing. Hopefully, that foggy veil will begin lifting now in the days and weeks ahead. We may also want to pay closer attention to our nocturnal dreams now for extra insight or messages, another realm which Neptune rules.

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Astrology November 8, 2011: A Different Drummer (Sun-Uranus)

08 Tuesday Nov 2011

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon continues its stay in restless, self-willed Aries. We also have the illuminating Sun in intense, reforming Scorpio in an unsteady alignment (sesquiquadrate) with radical, disruptive Uranus in Aries. We may be wanting to march impromptu to the beat of a different drummer today, perhaps as a rejuvenating catharsis. Or maybe simply as an act of revolt. Yet the Moon’s monthly opposition to conforming Saturn, in relationship Libra (1:10 pm EST), may also mean that there still is a weighty expectation upon us to “tow the line,” to some extent, especially where others are concerned.  Moon-Saturn has a way of sternly holding us accountable, especially whenever we have committed or violated any breaches of protocol. Probably not a good day for rash or impulsive moves, or for acting too independently, unless we are willing to maturely accept the consequences or possible fallout. Too, we have both Venus and Mercury forming chilly semi-squares to withholding Saturn, so it may be harder for us to convincingly woo others over, especially if we display, or have displayed in the past, too much insensitivity to their needs.

“The finest qualities of our nature, like the bloom on fruits, can be preserved by only the most delicate handling. Yet we do not treat ourselves nor one another thus tenderly.” Henry David Thoreau

News Update: With the sports-ruling Aries Moon applying to an exact opposition to censoring Saturn, in diplomatic Libra, the NYT.com is reporting (12:10 pm EST) that school officials at Penn State are supposedly planning an exit strategy for football coach, Joe Paterno, in wake of the shocking sex abuse scandal that has rocked that college in the last few days. The NYT.com says that this information comes from “two people briefed on conversations among the university’s top officials.” Paterno’s departure could reportedly come within days or weeks, according to the sources.

Too, looking further at this particular story through an astrological lens, we also have the purging, transforming Scorpio Sun forming that destabilizing aspect to disruptive Uranus in Aries today (Scorpio rules sexual matters). Also, in the backdrop, we still have the dissolving, disillusioning Mars in Leo opposition to Neptune, with Neptune the planet that is formally linked with scandal and innuendo.

Also, the WSJ.com is reporting this afternoon that Italy’s President, Silvio Berlusconi, will be stepping down after the 2012 budget is approved. He reportedly lost his majority in Parliament. Berlusconi has been a very controversial, colorful political leader, to say the least.

Astrology November 7, 2011: Feeling Out Of Step (Mars-Neptune)

07 Monday Nov 2011

Posted by in Daily astrology November 2011

, , , , , , , ,

COSMIC WATCH:

The enterprising Aries Moon normally positions us for confidently venturing outside of our comfort zone, although today may be a little different. This is because Mars, the planet of self-assertion and survival, and the natural ruler of Aries, is exactly opposite vague, elusive Neptune. Neptune, known as the Great Dissolver, tends to blur or obscure matters, and when aligned with Mars, we can easily feel confused or out of step regarding how to best direct our energy outward (Mars).  Neptune also symbolizes our urge for flight or escape, which can, of course, be a survivalist technique in itself.

On the shadow side, Mars-Neptune also has a legacy with misplaced aggression, and even subterfuge and scandal. It is also linked with acts of surrender.

Regarding how to navigate the day, it may be best for us to not push or force issues. We may also want to make sure that we honor our commitments and not shirk or run away from our duties or obligations. Too, it may be wise to subdue our egos and serve others instead. Mars-Neptune can generally be more of an ego-denying influence; however, when we give back to others, this aspect can help to lead us back to our true, authentic center.

“The willingness to share does not make one charitable; it makes one free.”  Robert Brault

Astrology November 6, 2011: Invoking Our Inner Genius (Uranus)

06 Sunday Nov 2011

, , , , , , ,

COSMIC WATCH:

As the Moon leaves the soulful waters of Pisces and races into fiery, self-discovery Aries (2:02 pm EDT), there’s a fervor for newness and excitement in our lives. Especially when the Moon makes her monthly conjunction to freedom-loving Uranus (4:15 pm EDT), which often poises us to “push the envelope” and test the limits of things. This lunar influence can also incite our inner genius and make us more innovative, as Uranus is linked with brilliance and originality. Of course, on the shadow side, Moon-Uranus can quickly exhaust our reservoir of patience, if we’re not mindful, as it is highly charged, very restless energy, particularly in spontaneous, impulsive Aries.

“The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.” Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy

Famous People with Moon conjunct Uranus: Anais Nin, Bob Dylan, Ann-Margret, Drew Carey, Jodi Foster

How can you engage or invoke your “inner Einstein” (Uranus) today? A couple helpful techniques: 1) Try to see beyond what appears on the surface of things. 2) Toss aside your natural assumptions and investigate matters.

November 6 birthday: Actress Sally Field turns 65 today! Field’s probing Scorpio Sun and pioneering Aries Moon exactly mirrors today’s Sun-Moon lineup. She also her Mercury and Venus conjunct in Sagittarius, which is additionally identical to what we have operating now. Mercury-Venus in Sadge can make a person very outspoken, but also very pleasant and likable, as Venus governs our “power of attraction.” With this aspect, we often seem to know the right things to say to others, to soothe or win them over. (Mercury rules words and communication).

Enjoy your Sunday!

Astrology November 5, 2011: Moderation Is Suggested With Jupiter

05 Saturday Nov 2011

, , , , , , , ,

COSMIC WATCH:

Doing whatever brings us pleasure is recommended today with the Moon in creative and dreamy Pisces, a lunar placement that often inclines us to want to escape the daily grind. Too, Neptune-ruled Pisces is the official sign of fairy tales, so it’s not that surprising that we may want to steep ourselves in “never never land” for a while when the Moon is magically moving through here. Also, engaging in fantasy and using the powers of our imagination can be very healing and rejuvenating. Of course, all things that eventually manifest or take shape on the earth plane, are first initially seeded by our imagination. The Pisces Moon is also good for meditation or prayer.

However, we do need to be more mindful of not overdoing things today, as we have both Venus (what we love) and Mercury (our thinking and communication) forming stressful quinqunx aspects to Jupiter (expansion) in self-indulgent Taurus. With Jupiter roguishly in the picture, it is easier for us to do things to excess, or to overspend, misjudge or mis-calculate matters. By paying closer attention, though, to the devilish details and not glossing over costs, we still may be able to make some refreshing lemonade from the sour cosmic aspects. 🙂

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon’s passage into “behind-the-scenes” Pisces (3:18 am EDT) suggests tapping into our inner resources instead of looking outward for the answers. The Moon’s soothing sextiles to abundant Jupiter (11:56 am EDT) and transforming Pluto (2:06 pm EDT) also indicates that we may have a plethora of hidden assets at our disposal that we can draw upon successfully now, if we are only willing to do a little mining. Too, it could be that employing a “soft touch” with others, is our wisest strategy today, especially perhaps on the professional front. Also, giving back to others and showing gratitude for our many blessings, most assuredly helps to multiply or increase our bounty.

Astrology November 3, 2011: Mercury and Venus Trine Uranus

03 Thursday Nov 2011

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon sticks around for another day in “progressive” Aquarius, ideally poising us to be more accepting of change and also more detached with our emotions. She is also getting friendly backup by relationship Venus and thinker Mercury. Both of these planetary bodies are now situated in exploratory, truth-seeking Sagittarius, and both are exactly trine to innovative Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius.

When Venus and Uranus are aligned, we generally tend to be more free-spirited in our love or social lives, which can often translate into a desire to engage in exciting or thrilling new pastimes or adventures. Sometimes, too, we are more tempted to defy or ignore the rules of convention, with this influence, especially as they pertain to our romantic or social behavior, as Uranus governs the urge for freedom and individuality.

Too, on Venus-Uranus days, we often find issues concerning gay rights or sexual equality coming to the forefront of the collective. Fascinatingly, the late actress, Elizabeth Taylor, was also born on a day when Venus and Uranus were exactly conjunct in pioneering Aries and we all know about her tireless and heroic efforts for AIDS and equality issues, especially the latter portion of her life. She also had a striking, electrifying (Uranus) appearance and Venus affects one’s physical beauty and fashion. Accordingly, it might be a fun day for us to spice up our appearance or wardrobe in novel ways. BTW, the late Johnny Cash, also had the same Venus-Uranus conjunction and he always dressed in black to distinguish himself.

The Mercury trine Uranus aspect today is also helpful in connecting us with our inner genius or brilliance. It naturally primes us to think “outside of the box.” It can also facilitate our intuition, which Uranus governs, paving the way for sudden breakthroughs and plenty of “aha moments.” With Uranus additionally ruling technology it may be a good day to purchase new electronic gadgets or for figuring out matters of a technical nature.

Mercury also rules communication and deposited in articulate, idealistic Sadge, this may be a perfect time to sound off with a letter to the editor, or for airing our views or vision for the world in general. Sagittarius also rules politics and things seem to really be heating up now, in that arena, esp. on a Presidential campaign level in the U.S., with prior sexual harassment allegations against Herman Cain coming to light with the Venus (in sexual Scorpio) square Neptune aspect, at the start of the week. Neptune’s nebulous ray is often involved in scandals and smear campaigns.

Also today, the Aquarius Moon is making a positive trine to stabilizing Saturn in partnership Libra (1:06 pm EDT), the sign of the public. This influence can help to steady our relationships. It’s also a good time to roll out public relations campaigns or for trying diplomatic gestures.

“To say nothing, especially when speaking, is half the art of diplomacy. “ Will Durant

In the News: The G-20 economic summit kicks off today in Cannes, France, bringing together leaders from around the world, including President Obama from the U.S. and President Sarkozy of France. Interestingly, Venus rules money and finance, and Mercury governs meetings, and both are now newly deposited in Sagittarius, a sign associated with foreign travel and international dealings. Too, with Venus and Mercury both trine to brilliant Uranus, and the Moon in clear-thinking, strategizing Aquarius, perhaps some forward-thinking progress will be made on world economic issues. We can at least hope, that this will be the case. Of course, regarding our own personal money management, we may also want to institute some new moves or strategies today. Maybe also ferret out new ways to make money.

Financial News Update: NYTimes.com is reporting today (12:46 pm EDT) that the Greek Prime Minister is calling off the referendum on the Euro Bailout Plan, which likely will be a stabilizing factor for financial markets. Interesting that this news item is being reported, too, with the Moon’s harmonious trine to Saturn, which can again serve to steady things.

Entertainment News: Simon Cowell announced on the X-Factor last night that the program had been picked up for another season, much to his delight, especially since the show is, reportedly, his own brainchild. When the X-Factor debuted in the U.S. on Sept. 21st, adventurous Mars was at 2 degrees of entertainment Leo and exactly trine to Uranus in Aries, an excellent influence for a show trying to discover very original (Uranus) talent (Leo). Also, Simon’s announcement last night came with Mercury (rules news and announcements) and Venus (governs artists and performers) in Sagittarius and both exactly trining Uranus once again. Also, with both of these planets creating a very propitious grand trine with Mars and Uranus in the natal X-Factor horoscope. As an astrologer, it is always so fascinating to see how the cycles play out and to watch things come full circle.

Do you watch the X-Factor? Do you have a favorite artist on the show? I think Drew is my favorite, although all the performers are extremely talented. It would be fun to know all of their birth times and take a look at each of their natal horoscopes. I would also like to see L.A. Reid‘s chart, he is so dynamic and cool. I love watching his physical expressions on the show when he really gets immersed in the performances.

Enjoy your Thursday!
