COSMIC WATCH:

“I deepen my experience of God through prayer, meditation, and forgiveness.” – Marianne Williamson.

The waning Moon remains in yielding, meditative Pisces potentially encouraging us to go with the flow instead of offering up any formidable resistance. Although we may need to intentionally guide ourselves in order to stay on track with things.

Early afternoon, the Moon’s trine to sweet Venus in caring Cancer (2:43 pm) ideally helps to strengthen our bonds with loved ones. Venus is also sesquiquadrate to wounded healer Chiron suggesting that this may be a good time to placate old wounds.

The Moon’s square to restless Mars, in communicator Gemini (4:45 pm), also gifts us with an opportunity to learn how to “hold our tongue,” lest we get sent to the back of the classroom.

“Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.” – Charles Dickens

Famous People with Moon in Pisces: Elvis Presley, Jerry Seinfield, Michael Jackson, Hillary Clinton, Winona Ryder.

*All times EDT.

Enjoy your Tuesday!

COSMIC WATCH:

“The mystical life is the center of all that I do and all that I think and all that I write.”  – William Butler Yeats

The Moon enters transcendent Pisces (1:13 am) and conjuncts fantasy Neptune (2:02 am), the planetary ruler of Pisces. Making the connective thread to reality possibly more tenuous for us.

Neptune governs our imagination.  It also rules our nocturnal dreams, which we may want to pay more attention to now.

Psychologist Carl Jung said that we should embrace our dreams as “communications from the unconscious.”

Neptune is also considered the portal through which we enter “other realms.”

About mid-day, the Pisces Moon sextiles transforming Pluto (12:17 pm). Possibly an opportune time for healing and renewal. Also, what has been hidden from view, may now be revealed.

Later, the Moon’s linkup to abundant Jupiter in sensual Taurus (3:52 pm) puts the pleasures of the earth plane magically within reach. This aspect also may help fuel our optimism.

*All times EDT

Enjoy your Monday!

Astrology July 17, 2011: Moon Remains in “Altering” Aquarius

COSMIC WATCH:

“Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.” Tony Robbins

The “ingenious” Moon in Aquarius is our clever companion and confidante for one more day.  No matter what we choose to share with her, she will likely be able to offer up original insights on the topic. Too, with the empowering Sun in “domestic” Cancer, we may want to use this “brilliant” Aquarian energy to change things up on the home front.   For instance, we may want to rearrange the furniture today. Or maybe go shopping for some unusual decorative pieces.

Of course, another easy way to perk up or revitalize our rooms is to put out fresh flowers. Flowers not only beautify our surroundings, and add lovely aromas, they also give oxygen. (BTW, orchids are ruled by Aquarius, while Cancer, governs white flowers and lilies.)

When we do make positive changes in our personal environment, they often have the net affect of invigorating other aspects of our lives, by helping to free up the “chi” or “energy flow” around us. The changes signaling to our subconscious a receptivity or willingness to try new things.

Do you feel energized or uplifted by your surroundings?

“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 Birthdays: Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, turns 64 today. Camilla has her Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus all in “self-protective” Cancer in her 12th house of seclusion. She likely values her privacy and is probably content in a “behind the scenes” role. Her Sun, indicating the man (or husband) in her life, is also harmoniously trine to Jupiter, the planet of royalty.

Camilla did indeed “find” her prince (Jupiter). Although, the pathway to “Prince Charming,” and “happy ever after,” was, as we all know, a bit complicated for Camilla. We hope the Duchess has a very happy, 64th birthday.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Astrology July 15, 2011: Full Moon in Capricorn

COSMIC WATCH:

“Work, love and play are the great balance wheels of man’s being.” Orison Swett Marden

There’s a Full Moon in “career” Capricorn today (2:40 am EDT). Meaning that the Sun is in opposition to the Moon from “nesting” Cancer. With a Full Moon we aim to balance opposing forces. In this case, our “cosmic marching order” is to create a healthy equilibrium between our professional or outer world activities (Capricorn) and our obligations or duties on the home front (Cancer). We may also encounter real-life scenarios now that trigger “hands-on experience,” or offer “extra insight,” on exactly how to do this.

For instance, there could be a sudden event in the home arena that serves as a “wake-up call” for us to change or recalibrate our priorities at work. Perhaps the event makes us realize that we have been focusing too much on our career to the detriment of the needs of our immediate environment.  Or, vice versa. Maybe we have been too busy cocooning at home and now we suddenly realize that we need to re-engage again with the outside world. Perhaps we haven’t been working for a while and now we need to re-enter the work force to supplement the family budget.

Too, it could be that the Full Moon in Capricorn serves as a lightning rod for generating new revelations about our life’s work. Or, contribution to society. It may also be a good time to ask ourselves if we are truly happy or satisfied with the professional path that we have selected. Do we think that we are doing what we came into this life to do?

If not, we may want to make some changes now. Maybe scrap certain activities that have have become counterproductive or outmoded. We may even want to consider going back to school. Get new training to expand our job skills. The Full Moon in Capricorn does form an exact creative quintile with “change-agent” Uranus in “new beginnings” Aries. Uranus often demands that we “alter” or “reinvent” ourselves, so that we can lead lives that are a greater testament to our authentic being. And less a reflection of society’s or other people’s dictates for us.

Too, Uranus rules technology. This may be a good time to upgrade our tech skills in conjunction with our career (Capricorn). Or maybe employ some new technology to aid us in a job search.

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Happy Full Moon Blessings!

Astrology July 13, 2011: Venus Squares “Distant” Saturn

COSMIC WATCH:

“Whenever you’re in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make a difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.” William James

Little Miss Venus, the “loving glue” that binds us together, squares “withholding” Saturn in partnership Libra from the ultra-sensitive sign of Cancer. Venus-Saturn tends to elevate the fear and vulnerability factors in our relationships, with Saturn encouraging us to “wall ourselves off.” So it could be that it may be a bit harder for us to “stick together” or “to connect” now, unless we consciously choose to adopt a more cooperative or caring spirit that enables us to override  our more fluctuating moods or fragile sensitivities.

Too, with Saturn presiding over our responsibilities and sense of duty, Venus-Saturn can sometimes have us feeling that we are cast in a “ball and chain” role with no way out. Of course, this is not true. We always have choices available to us. With that said, we may still want to consider putting off that first, tender date with George Clooney, for another time, when the cosmic terrain is easier to navigate.

The Moon is also shifting into Saturn-ruled Capricorn this morning (10:14 am EDT), amplifying our desires to achieve our worldly ambitions. Also setting the stage for the potent Full Moon in Capricorn on Friday.

COSMIC WATCH:

“I see my path but I don’t know where it leads. Not knowing where I’m going, inspires me to travel it.” – Rosalia de Castro

The Moon is in Sagittarius all day. Perhaps fueling a desire to want to explore open spaces and leave our mark on uncharted territory. This may be especially the case, early on, when the Moon makes an opposition to energizing Mars in restless sightseer Gemini (7:56 am) and then trines mental Mercury in “thinking big” on the wild prairie in Leo (8:21 am).

A day, too, when we are possibly more likely to want to vigorously share our homespun views and massive insights about the “big picture,” as the Sadge Moon tends to incite an evangelistic thread in us.

If we are also able to sell a little “snake oil” to fellow travelers on the mystical journey of life, so be it. 🙂

“Evangelism is selling a dream.” – Guy Kawasaki

*All times EDT

Do you feel comfortable in the “preacher/teacher” role?

BTW, today marks the first anniversary of the 164-year revolution of Neptune’s orbit around the Sun, since Neptune was discovered on September 23, 1846.

Astrology July 9, 2011: Venus Sextiles Jupiter, Uranus Goes Retrograde

COSMIC WATCH:

“The greatest pleasure of life is love.” – Euripedes

After having a rather rough go, the last few days, affectionate Venus in nurturing Cancer appears to catch a break today with her warm sextile to abundant Jupiter in earthly pleasures Taurus.

Venus-Jupiter is often regarded as synonymous with “luck in love.”

This aspect is also grand for entertaining and parties, with Venus also ruling our social life and Jupiter liking to do things on a lavish scale.

Jupiter actually rules and symbolizes matters of royalty, and we have William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, reportedly partying with the glamorous “Hollywood Jet Set,” this weekend, in LA.

The Moon is also in passionate Scorpio today, potentially magnifying our desires and ramping up our ability to seize upon and claim the rich, intrinsic pleasures of the moment.

Of course, life is never simple and uncomplicated.

We also have “wild child” Uranus, the planet of personal freedom and rebellion, stationing retrograde today in self-willed Aries. Whenever a planet changes direction, it tends to call more attention to itself (Uranus stays retrograde until December 9th).

Too, we have intellectual Mercury in theatrical Leo forming a stabilizing sextile to disciplined, conforming Saturn in diplomatic Libra today. This suggests that we do have the mental ability to “check” or “censor” our performances (Leo), if need be. Mercury sextile Saturn is excellent for both focused concentration and serious discussions.

Too, it may be an especially good day for talking about “affairs of the heart” (perhaps popping the big question?) with Mercury in romantic Leo and Saturn in matrimonial Libra.

Astrology July 8, 2011: Venus Squares “Deep” Pluto, Moon in Libra

COSMIC WATCH:

 “Jealousy is that pain which a man feels from the apprehension that he is not equally beloved by the person whom he entirely loves.” Joseph Addison

The Moon remains in diplomatic Libra, however, she may have to perform double-duty to keep things copasetic  today. This is because we have sweet Venus, the ruler of relationships and romance, opposed to intense Pluto. Pluto stands guard over our subconscious, with Venus-Pluto often acting as a conduit for channeling our deeper, more complex emotions.

Too, often what we keep buried inside, can have a darker or more primitive vibration to it, as it hasn’t yet had a chance to be fully processed by our conscious awareness.  On the shadow side, Venus-Pluto has been linked with feelings of jealousy, manipulation, suspicion, and obsession, with Pluto also governing our urge for power and control.

If we feel toxic emotions rising to the surface now, instead of instinctively acting on them, we may be better off trying to probe and figure out why they are there in the first place. Venus-Pluto can be very healing in that it can help us arrive at a fresh awareness and understanding and then, accordingly, help us to purge from our behavior whatever is unhealthy.

Also, this aspect can be positive for “clearing the air” with others, as long as we do so in a manner that does not unduly invite resentment and anger. Hopefully, that is where the “polite” Libra Moon can come to our friendly assist today. Too, a good day to remember to, “make peace, not war.”

Enjoy your Friday!
