“We dream to give ourselves hope. To stop dreaming – well, that’s like saying you can never change your fate.” Amy Tan

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon continues its passage through “futuristic“ Sagittarius, a hopeful lunar placement that encourages us to “reach for the stars.” Eleanor Roosevelt (born with a Sagittarius Ascendant) once said that, “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

Too, it may be a perfect time to rummage through the cherished treasure chest of our dreams, and perhaps re-asses our life, in general now – and what we aspire for in 2014. Not only are we at the end of another calendar year; astrologically, we also have enterprising Mars squaring transforming Pluto today (8:22 pm EST), an aspect often described as “game-shifting” by astrologers. This more intense influence,  even though it can sometimes be disruptive in nature, is often regarded to be very good for fostering self-renewal efforts, as it tends to re-align us with our heart’s burning passions and desires. Mars-Pluto is also often a factor with our employing herculean efforts to achieve our goals. (Today’s Mars-Pluto aspect also, of course, activates the longer term Uranus-Pluto square.)

Mars-Pluto can also help shed light on what is broken or no longer working in our lives; what possibly might be able to be salvaged or repaired; and what likely should be pitched or tossed aside.  Usually, too, before we can successfully start anew, we have to be willing to let go of the past; let go of attachment.

On the shadow side, Mars square Pluto is linked with obsessive or extreme behavior, fanaticism. power struggles, aggressive outbursts, greed, and manipulation.

Too, on a more positive note, writer Ericka Huggins insightfully reminds us that love can be an expression of power (Pluto). “We can use it to transform our world.”

How would you describe the “power of love?”

Astrology December 29, 2013: Mercury Squares Uranus, Sadge Moon

“The definition of brilliance is redoing failures different each time and expecting successful results.” Carl Henegan

COSMIC WATCH:

With intellectual Mercury squaring experimental Uranus today (3:48 pm EST), we’re perhaps learning to keep more of an open mind now on things, instead of doling out judgment. The late Frank Zappa, the originator of radical rock during the 60s, once likened the mind to a parachute and said that, “It doesn’t work, if it is not open.”

Since Uranus is also linked with genius, originality, and flashes of intuition, we may want to keep a notepad handy and jot down any insights or messages that suddenly bubble up into our awareness. Too, engaging in brainstorming may be an especially worthwhile pastime today. On the shadow side, Mercury-Uranus is sometimes linked with mental restlessness or an inability to concentrate, so if we’re feeling this way, we may want to postpone activities that call for a prolonged focus.

Because Mercury also governs news and communications, often when it is aligned with unpredictable Uranus, we hear some news that takes us a bit by surprise. Uranus also symbolizes those who hold more radical beliefs or take issue with the status quo, which can include persons who are militants, revolutionaries, and anarchists. Scientists, astronomers, aviators, inventors, and computer geeks also fall under the domain of this planet. Uranus also rules the internet and aircraft/spacecraft. BTW, the recent space station repairs were carried out when pioneering Mars was transiting opposite Uranus.

Early this afternoon (12:37 pm EST), the Moon’s entrance into forward-thinking Sagittarius also serves to further prime us for learning and new adventure.

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” Dr. Seuss

How might you be more open-minded today?

COSMIC WATCH:

“The truth must be quite plain, if one could just clear away the litter.” – Agatha Christie

With today’s Moon in investigative Scorpio, digging below the surface is likely the best strategy by which to play the day.  And, hopefully, come out the insightful victor in the game of life in the process.As Aldous Huxley once wrote, “Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.”

The Moon’s trine to philosophical Jupiter (1:56 pm) also seems to be a big plus for us, as it can maybe help to put any lingering or bothersome information into a larger, understandable context that feels very freeing or expansive. Moon trine Jupiter is generally regardedas a classic aspect of opportunity.

Later, the Moon’s conjunction with utilitarian Saturn (7:58 pm) reveals, among other things, the infinite, ageless wisdom of conserving our resources.

“People protect what they love.” – Jacques Yves Cousteau

*All times EST

Famous December 28th Birthdays: Denzel Washington, John Gray, Gayle King

“We’re all spending way too much of our time and energy trying to fight the stuff we can’t change.” – Gayle King.

Enjoy your Saturday!
