COSMIC WATCH:
“It’s easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.” Josiah Charles Stamp
The Moon stays in “responsible” Capricorn all day, the sign of career, reputation and status, encouraging us to focus on business and practical concerns. The Moon’s trine to expansive Jupiter in money-ruling Taurus (10:17 am EDT) may also present us with a chance to put more green in our pockets with Jupiter being the planet of goodwill and opportunity. It is an excellent time for growing our network or for making cold-calls or prospecting.
Later in the day, with the Moon’s square to restrictive Saturn in relationship Libra (4:34 pm EDT) “flying solo” likely offers us the most dividends. That strategy may also help to preserve the peace.
“I restore myself when I’m alone.” Marilyn Monroe
Famous People with Moon in Capricorn: Lucille Ball. “Lucy” would have turned 100 on August 6th, last week. The cosmic energy of today is actually somewhat similar to what Lucy had in her horoscope, as she was a creative Leo Sun, with the personally ambitious Capricorn Moon, and her Moon was sextile to Jupiter in Scorpio, the sign of shared resources. The Moon also rules the public, with favorable Moon-Jupiter aspects helping to frame positive relationships with others. Of course, we all “loved Lucy.”
Jupiter, which also rules our sense of humor, was at the very top of her chart in her career house. Too, Lucy was not only a grand comedian she was also a very astute business person. She had her “maternal” Moon conjunct a Capricorn Ascendant, helping her to perhaps materially prosper from her television role as a beloved wife and mother. The Ascendant is the window from which we view the world. It is also how other people see us.
“I’d rather regret the things I have done than regret the things I haven’t done.” Lucille Ball
Remember the “I Love Lucy” episode when Ethel and Lucy went to work in that chocolate factory and both were standing behind that conveyor belt trying to box the chocolates? Definitely my favorite episode.
Enjoy your Wednesday!

COSMIC WATCH:
“Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being.” Albert Camus
It may be trickier to calmly “go with the flow” today, as “aggressor” Mars in “security-oriented” Cancer squares off with “rebel flag” Uranus, the planet of change and personal freedom, in “self-willed” Aries (12:33 pm EDT). This more volatile aspect is part of the “Grand Cardinal Cross” that Mars is now activating with Uranus, Pluto and Saturn. On Thursday, we will have Mars opposite Pluto and then Mars square Saturn, later next week.
Mars-Uranus has some legacy, both individually and collectively, for “rattling our cages” and putting us at odds with current rules or restrictions, which may be viewed as outmoded or no longer relevant for our lives and or survival. At the same time, Mars-Uranus is a classic template for wanting to be a “law unto ourselves.”
Of course, as most of us know, when we act in a self-willed manner that is too defiant, or in a way that does not kindly consider the needs of others into the equation, there is usually a hefty price to pay later. Too, even if we’re willing to abide by the existing rules and protocol now, we are more likely to encounter “anarchists” or “non-conforming types” in our environment, who tend to make life more complicated for us, in various ways, often by dismantling the seemingly secure guideposts around us.
Also, it is possible that these “rebels” can end up ultimately leading us to a better way of life. Uranus is linked with genius and breakthrough visions, with Mars here firing up that lofty potential. Madonna and Steve Jobs, for instance, were both born with Mars square Uranus in their charts and both have done a lot to innovate and reform their respective industries in a positive way and impact the world at large. Uranus also rules technology and computers.
Mars-Uranus is additionally known for throwing us some “curve balls,” introducing us to circumstances or situations we may not have anticipated, or perhaps simply refused to acknowledge earlier, elements that now call for sudden or swift adaptations on our part. Of course, if we gaze around the world today, it does seem much more uncertain and unsettled than it did, only a few days ago, with the volatility of world markets, riots in London, etc. Perhaps much of the discord symptomatic of a system that is indeed broken in many ways. The Cardinal Grand Cross forcing us to re-examine, once again, the present nature of things and then spurring us on to make changes to hopefully rectify things.
On that note, we do want to guard against making any risky or impulsive moves today that could jeopardize our security further, or the security of those around us. We really need to give some time for all the dust to settle around us. Right now, Mars-ruled tempers and fuses are likely to be shorter, making it harder for reason to prevail. Too, intellectual Mercury is retrograde and still aligned with vague, psychedelic Neptune, which can cloud or muddy our perceptions and undermine or erode our self-confidence. A lot of complex aspects at play here, simultaneously.
We also would be well-advised to slow down and be more alert to our surroundings and use more caution when we are working around heavy equipment or driving today. Mars-Uranus tends to distract our attention, when we really need to be focusing on the tasks at hand.
“Give your stress wings and let it fly away.” Terri Guillemets
Enjoy your Tuesday! Take some deep breaths!

COSMIC WATCH:
The “probing” Scorpio Moon meets up with “psychedelic” Neptune this morning (11:14 am EDT), right before leaving Scorpio for Sagittarius. So there’s a chance that we may have to navigate through some fog and confusion, the first part of the day, as Neptune tends to put a “tie-dyed veil” over things.
With the Moon’s shift into impetuous Sadge (11:21 am EDT) we are imbued with a more adventurous streak over the next couple of days. The Moon’s square to retrograde Mercury in Virgo (11:54 am EDT), however, cautions us to refrain from being overly critical or arrogant in discussions. Probably a wise time to remember that other people are also entitled to their own opinions, even though they may go against what we regard as “the truth.” The Sagittarius Moon is known for making us a little preachy. Too, it is a Sunday. A time when the sermon on the mount may be harder for us to resist. 🙂
We do have a good opportunity to stabilize our relationships today, especially later in the day, when love maven Venus sextiles steady Saturn (10:20 pm EDT), an influence that tends to inspire trust and loyalty with others. This is also a signature aspect of the formation of “May-December” romances, with Saturn denoting older persons. Also, Venus-Saturn can bring back “old flames” into our lives.
“Come live in my heart and pay no rent.” Samuel Lover
Famous Birthdays August 7th: Comedic genius and fab storyteller, Garrison Keillor, turns 69 today! Fascinatingly, Keillor has communicator Mercury, in entertaining Leo, exactly conjunct his Leo Ascendant, giving him a great “gift for gab.” The Ascendant is the window through which we view the world and with Mercury right there for Keillor, in colorful Leo, he has a natural talent for both dramatization and intellectual analysis.
His Moon is also in witty Gemini, sextile to his Mercury, reinforcing his ability to articulate his feelings in a theatrical (Leo) way. His Venus and Jupiter are additionally conjunct in Cancer, the sign of home and family, making him very sentimental about his “Lake Wobegon” roots. Venus conjunct Jupiter is also a classic aspect of “luck” and Keillor has managed to use his “home base of operations” (Prairie Home Companion) to his advantage in his career.
“Lake Wobegon, the little town that time forgot and the decades cannot improve.” Garrison Keillor
Happy Birthday, Garrison!
Enjoy your Sunday, everyone!

COSMIC WATCH:
“Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” – Oprah Winfrey
The Moon shifts into “passionate” Scorpio (7:57 am) deepening our desires and intensifying our reactions to our environment. Very little gets by us when the Moon is deposited in Scorpio which tends to put our sensory perceptions on high alert. Scorpio is the sign of espionage and intrigue. It also rules shared resources, psychic ability, and the subconscious.
The Scorpio Moon’s sextile to logical Mercury in analytical Virgo (9:33 am) should also be a boon for our problem-solving skills, while its sextile to assertive Mars in protective Cancer (10:27 am) poises us to take swift action on matters. We can get a lot accomplished this morning, if we stay focused. Later on, in the day, too, the Moon aligns positively with transforming Pluto (4:55 am), the ruler of Scorpio, which is an excellent time to repair or fix things, or take corrective measures regarding situations.
Hopefully, another solidifying factor for us today will be the Leo Sun’s opportunity sextile to stabilizing Saturn, in relationship Libra, with Saturn denoting anchoring structures in our lives. When we have flowing energy between the Sun and Saturn, we tend to attract to us elements that can fortify our circumstances. We are also more determined to see things through which bodes well for our success.
Saturn is linked with self-discipline and our work ethic. Karmically, this planetary aspect can indicate being rewarded for our past efforts. Saturn and the Sun both represent authority figures, with Saturn specifically denoting more senior persons.
One more thing. We may be wise to practice some moderation today, especially in our diet or spending, as we have Venus in Leo square to Jupiter in Taurus, a classic template for overindulgence!
“The proximity of a desirable thing tempts one to overindulgence. On that path lies danger.” Frank Herbert

COSMIC WATCH:
The Moon remains in “beauty-loving” Libra all day. With mental Mercury in organizing Virgo favorable to energetic Mars in domestic Cancer, today may be picture perfect for beautifying the home front. Or the workplace which is Virgo-ruled. Mercury is also opposing imaginative Neptune elevating our creativity. Redecorating, re-arranging furniture to where it will look best, or removing unwanted objects from our environment helps to empower us now. Also, we may want to put fresh flowers out which, according to feng shui, can help to inspire balance and calmness within.
Tonight, dreamy Neptune leaves Pisces and retrogrades back into group-oriented Aquarius, where it will stay until February 3, 2012. This sign shift puts “otherworldly” Neptune into the spotlight now, adding perhaps a surrealistic tone to things. Neptune is known as the “Great Dissolver.”
“Decorating is not about making stage sets, it’s not about making pretty pictures for the magazines; it’s really about creating a quality of life, a beauty that nourishes the soul.” Albert Hadley
Famous People with Moon in Libra: Emily Dickinson, Emily Post, Leonardo Di Caprio, D. H. Lawrence, Bruce Springsteen
Famous Birthdays August 4th: President Obama turns 50 today! A Leo Sun, Obama also has his natal Moon in chatty Gemini and his Rising Sign in detached Aquarius. His Mercury, ruling speech and communication, is in theatrical Leo and opposite “big picture” Jupiter in humanistic Aquarius, making him an eloquent and charismatic speaker. Mercury-Jupiter individuals often are teachers and philosophers. They usually feel compelled to share their “higher vision” with others.
Happy Birthday, Mr. President!
Enjoy your Thursday!

COSMIC WATCH:
“Above all else, be daring, be bold, be unconventional.” Kevin Rampe
The stars above seem to be “dittoing” that same sentiment today with both the Sun and Moon still deposited in bold, daring Leo, along with relationship and social guru, Venus. Venus is also forming an exact trine to Uranus, the planet of unconventionality, in new moves Aries.
Mingling with non-conforming types, or with people who may not share our same set of values. Seeking out new forms of entertainment or recreation. Throwing an impromptu party or celebration. Doing something we fear. These are but a handful of ways that we can positively engage the energies of the day and maybe push up that “growth factor” one notch higher in our lives by stepping out of our comfort zones.
Are you comfortable embracing people from different backgrounds? Can you see where it may be advantageous to expose yourself to different cultures?
“Continuity gives us roots; change gives us branches, letting us stretch and grow and reach new heights.” Pauline R. Kezer

COSMIC WATCH:
“An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail.” Edwin Land
The New Moon in “colorful” Leo the Lion (2:40 pm EDT) is a call for us to be creative and unabashedly share what is inside our hearts. Leo is the sign of flowering self-expression and fun and entertainment. It also rules romance, hobbies, and children, treasured aspects of our lives that can bring us untold joy.
Today’s lunation is also “extra pleasurable” because it conjuncts sweet Venus, the official procurer of love and beauty, deepening evermore our desire to connect or bond with others. Venus is also trine to electrifying Uranus, the freedom-loving planet of change and originality, with this aspect helping to broker more spontaneity in our feelings. Venus-Uranus tends to free us from our hang-ups or inhibitions. It can also usher in sudden infatuation and liberating or unusual social experiences.
The Moon’s square to indulgent Jupiter in earthy Taurus also reinforces our ravenous appetite for life’s tray of delights, although it also raises a red flag of caution about squandering our resources or going to excess. Optimistic Jupiter can be a bit of a gambler, often willing to risk all of his tidy earnings to date for whatever is magically lurking behind door number three, hoping to double or triple his lot. Of course, we all know that sometimes that strategy can regrettably backfire on us.
“If you must play, decide upon three things at the start: the rules of the game, the stakes, and the quitting time.” Chinese Proverb
Happy New Moon blessings! Enjoy your Saturday.

COSMIC WATCH:
“That rolls to its appointed end.” William Cullen Bryant
A perfect day for winding down our affairs as we have a void-of-course Moon in sentimental Cancer and a New Moon in sunny Leo tomorrow. Mental Mercury in analytical Virgo also opposes fuzzy Neptune in fishy Pisces making decision-making possibly more convoluted today. When Neptune’s ray is activated matters tend to get obscured and we may be missing key facts. However, this same aspect could be a boon for creative types as Neptune governs our imagination. Neptune also presides over film, photography, dancing and aquatic activities.
A note of caution: Mercury goes retrograde August 2nd! A period when we often revisit and or reverse our previous decisions or plans. Something to keep in mind now.
Enjoy your Friday!

COSMIC WATCH:
“An idea is salvation by imagination.” Frank Lloyd Wright
Our creative and original ideas flow more freely with the colorful Sun in Leo’s harmonious trine to ingenious Uranus in new beginnings Aries, the planetary ruler of technology and innovation. Employing new approaches is likely the positive North Star that guides us to liberating changes today. Sun-Uranus also ignites an independent streak in us, emphatically reinforced by the Gemini Moon’s conjunction with adventurous Mars (12:56 pm EDT), which vets us for risk-taking.
Later, the Moon’s sextile to Mercury at the tail end of dramatic Leo (8:36 pm EDT) affords us one last chance to make our points with extra grace and flair.
We wrap up the day with the Moon’s ingress into security-minded Cancer (9:12 pm EDT) which puts matters of the hearth front and center. Also, Luna’s trine to spiritual Neptune in meditative Pisces (9:34 pm EDT) sets the stage for deep reflection.
