Astrology January 31, 2012: The Steady Taurus Moon

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon continues in “slow, steady” Taurus, an excellent vibrational energy for keeping us grounded.  We tend to thrive now by choosing to focus our attention on doing just one thing at a time versus trying to multi-task, which usually ends up only reducing our performance-level. The Moon is also making positive aspects to cosmic lovers, Venus and Mars, tonight, a compelling reason to turn the lights down low. 🙂

“A heart that loves is always young.” Greek Proverb

What is “something extra” that you could bring to your relationships today to “spice them up?”

January 31 Birthdays: Justin Timberlake, Norman Mailer, Carol Channing, Franz Schubert

Today’s Affirmation:  “I am choosing to be intentional with my time, and only thinking about what I can do in the present moment.”

Enjoy your Tuesday!

COSMIC WATCH:

We are excited about starting something new now with the Moon moving through “pioneering” Aries. Intellectual Mercury’s sextile to “radical, innovative” Uranus is also a boon for shifting our perspective and helping us arrive at new solutions. Too, Mercury is square to “expansive, philosophical” Jupiter, allowing us to take a broader view of things, although we may need to pay close attention to the details or fine print and avoid embellishing the facts.

“If you add to the truth, you subtract from it.” The Talmud

January 28 Birthdays: Nicolas Sarkozy, Alan Alda, Rick Warren

Today’s Affirmation: My world is pregnant with exciting possibilities. New doors are opening all around me.

Astrology January 27, 2012: Mercury Squares Saturn, Mercury Enters Aquarius

COSMIC WATCH:

Mental Mercury, at the end of practical Capricorn, squares cautious Saturn, this morning, before shifting into curious Aquarius later today. While Mercury-Saturn can add seriousness and depth of focus to our perceptions, it is an aspect that is often linked with more fear-based thinking and skepticism.  One way to turn Mercury-Saturn into a “win-win” situation for us may be to simply ask ourselves, “What are our fears or more rigid views on matters trying to teach us now about ourselves?” Or, “What is the learning situation for us here?”

We may also want to challenge ourselves to look beyond our fears or blockages by asking, “How else can we think about things that would be more energizing and positive?”  Fortunately, Mercury’s shift into airy, intellectual Aquarius (1:12 pm EST), where it will stay until February 14, makes it easier for us to cop a more detached mindset in which our options can be more neutrally weighed.

The Moon also leaves retiring Pisces for initiating Aries (1:29 pm EST), priming us for action and exciting adventure over the next couple of days.

“Well done is better than well said.” Benjamin Franklin

Today’s Affirmation:  “I choose thoughts that make me feel good. My glass is always half full.”

Astrology January 26 2012: Gone Fishin’ Pisces Moon

COSMIC WATCH:

With the Moon still rippling through “fantasy” Pisces, we are encouraged to fish the waters of our creative imagination. Too, the Moon’s early morning conjunction with tender mermaid Venus (8:13 am EST) could just be the “catch of the day.” Moon-Venus often helps us attract the love that we desire as a byproduct of becoming more sensitized to the needs of others.

“For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.” Carl Sagan

January 26 Birthdays: Eartha Kitt, Paul Newman.

Today’s Affirmation: I go fishing today for what is on my “wish list,” knowing full well that the fish are gonna’ bite.

What would be a “big catch” for you today?

COSMIC WATCH:

With the Moon deposited in “individualistic” Aquarius all day, we are cosmically cleared to connect the dots in any way we see fit. 🙂 Additionally, we may want to go a tad easier on ourselves today, if we are finding it a little more difficult to put things in motion. With motivator Mars still doing its stationing retrograde dance in Virgo, it’s understandable that our energy may be off a bit.

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

January 24 Birthdays: Allison DuBois, Neil Diamond “Songs are life in 80 words or less.” Neil Diamond

Today’s Affirmation: I choose to walk along the path of my own truth, empowered by my own inner vision.

What sets you apart from the crowd? Name three things.

Astrology January 23, 2012: Aquarius New Moon, Mars Retrograde

COSMIC WATCH:

The New Moon in “friendly, offbeat” Aquarius presents new opportunities for growing our friendships, widening our social circle, involving ourselves with humanitarian pursuits. We may also want to do something exciting and different today that we have not done before.

Motivator Mars, the planet of action, is also stationing retrograde in analytical Virgo. This signals a period of review regarding what we have spearheaded or initiated in the last few months. Too, it could be that some of us may be feeling a loss of momentum or enthusiasm now for certain projects in our lives. It may be that we need to revisit whether we should continue on with these things, re-assessing their payoff for us. We will also want to check to see what house (or area of life) that Mars is moving through in our personal chart, as that is where we will likely be needing to temporarily pause or reset matters. Mars will be retrograde until April 13th.

“Now, on the road to freedom, I was pausing for a moment near Temuco and could hear the voice of the water that had taught me to sing.” Pablo Neruda

January 23rd Birthdays: Princess Caroline, Edouard Manet

Today’s Affirmation:  I am grateful for the supportive people in my life and am eager to give back. I am also thankful that I am able to reflect upon my life, retrace my steps, to ensure that I am on the right path.

Happy New Moon Blessings! Also, today we celebrate the Chinese New Year and the prosperous, “Year of the Water Dragon.”

Astrology January 20, 2012: Sun enters Aquarius, Venus With Pluto

COSMIC WATCH:

The Sun shifts into “progressive, individualistic” Aquarius today, providing us with a template for behavior that is more inclusive and accepting of other’s differences and also more experimental and questioning in its mindset. Romantic Venus’s sextile aspect with ”transforming” Pluto, the ruler of our subconscious, also paves the way for us to gain fresh insight and deeper understanding into our relationships.

“The most important ingredient that we put into any relationship is not what we say or do, but what we are.” Stephen Covey

January 20 Birthdays: Telly Savalas, Patricia Neal, Bill Maher

Today’s Affirmation: I am comfortable expressing myself in loving ways with others. The love that I seek, always flows freely to me.

Astrology January 19, 2012: Sun Squares Saturn

COSMIC WATCH:

Some of us may feel like we are sputtering around in the darkness today, weighed down by our burdens and responsibilities, and also by our past (Sun square Saturn). However, when we remember that all we have to do is metaphorically “flip a switch” inside, (i.e. shift our thinking), suddenly a new, illuminated reality can begin to emerge for us at any moment. Hopefully, a brighter reality with more open doors. Sun-Saturn is often a timely period for seriously assessing our current lot and weighing our future possibilities.

The Moon in “big picture” Sagittarius today also encourages us to prolifically “wish upon a star,” regardless of how dim or bright we perceive our present situation to be. Life Coach, Martha Beck, wrote a best-selling book entitled, Steering By Starlight, in which she discusses hooking up with your own “North Star” within. The inspiring North Star concept reminds me of the visionary Sagittarius Moon a shine at her very best. We are wanting so much to “believe in the dream” when the Moon is in this sign. Yet, with the Sun-Saturn energy, we may also be needing to refine that dream at least a tad today. Or, perhaps be willing to “adjust our steering” to get to it. 🙂

“Live in rooms full of light.” Cornelius Celsus

January 19th Birthdays: Dolly Parton, Shelley Fabares, Paul Cezanne

Today’s Affirmation: “Wherever I go there is light. Darkness is only an illusion.”

What lights you up and gets you feeling empowered?

In the News: Presidential hopeful, Rick Perry, dropped out of the GOP race today and is reportedly endorsing Newt Gingrich. Occasionally, with the Sun-Saturn aspect (exact today), we decide to let go of our old agendas, old goals, and choose to move into another direction, as alluded to in my daily horoscope. Sometimes we reposition ourselves after seeing the inevitable “writing on the walls.” For instance, this morning, the 137-year old Kodak Corporation, also filed for bankruptcy protection after fiscally struggling for the past several years.

Astrology January 15, 2012: Moon is in Libra

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon is in social, romantic Libra all day, the sign of “the other.”  Always an ideal template for us to “partner up,” or “pool our efforts.”  A great metaphor for the Libra Moon is a lovely quote from the late French poet, Marceline Desbordes-Valmore: “Are we not like two volumes of one book?” Too, when we do unite or come together we pave the way for an energizing, magical synergy to emerge.

“Synergy is the highest activity of life; it creates new untapped alternatives; it values and exploits the mental, emotional, and psychological differences between people.” Stephen Covey

What action could bring you closer to others today?

January 15th Birthdays: Joan of Arc, Lloyd Bridges, Martin Luther King, Jr.

Astrology January 14, 2012: Venus Enters Dreamy Pisces

14 Saturday Jan 2012

COSMIC  WATCH:

We shift into more of a “we” mindset with the Moon’s descent into relationship Libra (8:29 am EST).  Libra’s ruler, sweet Venus, also dives into the compassionate waters of Pisces today (12:48 am EST) where she will seductively swim until February 8. In dreamy Pisces, Venus helps to wet our appetite for fantasy and “fairy-tale romance,” making us more willing and receptive to the idea of tearing down our crusty relational walls in order to experience a feeling of total oneness or bliss with our beloved. Of course, on the flip side, this desire for a removal of boundaries can also make us more vulnerable emotionally, as our tender root system is exposed.

The “goddess of love and money” is also making a soothing sextile to expansive, philosophical Jupiter, inspiring us to attach a higher meaning or significance to our alliances, while simultaneously stoking our generosity and optimism. In astrology, Venus-Jupiter alignments are considered to be highly fortuitous in nature and can help to deliver to us the abundance we are seeking, either in a real literal sense or on a symbolic level. These two planets together can also heighten our experience of pleasure. On the topic of pleasure, Euripides, the Greek playwright, said, “The greatest pleasure of life is love.” The Irish poet, Oscar Wilde, also stated that, “an inordinate passion for pleasure is the secret of staying young.”

The Moon’s monthly opposition to non-conforming Uranus (10:29 am EST) may additionally signal that we need to take some kind of action today that sets us apart from the crowd and allows us to display our originality and brilliance. Later, the Moon’s square to hidden Pluto (9:50 pm EST) prompts us to “look within” for the answers.

“The peace we need is always present, it’s just that we have forgotten where it is and how to find it.” Clare Wilde

Famous Birthdays Today: Albert Schweitzer, Faye Dunaway

Today’s Affirmation: I am surrounded by love. I am love. I freely give my love.
