Meditation 2

Cosmic Quote of the Day: “Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled. You’ve got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it.” Ray Bradbury

Every day, each of us wrestles with “hanging on or letting go” in myriad aspects of our life. While we’re not always sure which route to take here, being clear about our values and the personal vision for our life, is normally a good starting point from which to begin to wade through this process and to move on, especially if we are to be true to ourselves.  Today, with the illuminating Sun opposite purging Pluto, a once a year occurrence, we tend to be more focused upon those issues that we intuitively know we need to get rid of, that have been weighing us down, where we’ve been holding on perhaps too tightly out of fear, or out of concern of a loss of control. Writer Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code, says that men go to far greater lengths to avoid what they fear than to obtain what they desire.

Famous July 6 Birthdays: Sylvester Stallone, George W. Bush, John Paul Jones, Nancy Reagan, Merv Griffin

“If fear is cultivated it will become stronger, if faith is cultivated it will achieve mastery.” John Paul Jones

Enjoy your Monday!

River In A Forest

Cosmic Quote of the Day: “There is a grace of kind listening, as well as a grace of kind speaking.” Frederick William Faber

When we are in conversation with a person, and listening to their every word, we are “fully gracing them” with our presence. When we choose to carefully formulate our words, or what we want to say to another, we also are displaying kind or thoughtful regard for them because we are letting them know that we value, honor and respect their time and attention, as well as showing to them that we’re concerned with how our words may impact them. English novelist Mary Ann Evans, known by her pen name, George Eliot, also once quipped that it is always good to know, if only in passing, charming human beings. “It refreshes one like flowers and woods and clear brooks.” In astrology, Venus, the planet of love and beauty, symbolizes the kindnesses or niceties that we bestow upon each other.

Today’s Energy:

Communicator Mercury, in articulate Gemini, is sextile gracious, soothing Venus in heartfelt Leo, today.  Ideally, we are expressing ourselves with more politeness and refinement now; coming from a place that admirably embraces and showcases the social and loving aspects of our being. Accordingly, this is a great day to write love letters, read loves stories, exchange hugs and kisses, or to speak sincerely what’s in our heart. Also, it’s a good time for social or party planning, including sending out invitations, buying stationary, or putting together floral arrangements.

The Moon exits individualistic Aquarius for dreamy, mystical Pisces, mid-morning (10:22 am), where it will hang out for the next couple of days. Later, a harmonious trine from the Moon to motivating Mars, in nesting Cancer (11:19 pm), helps to provide us with a reassuring sense of our home as our personal sanctuary.

Tomorrow, the illuminating Sun also makes its annual opposition to re-configuring Pluto, the planet of renewal and transformation, so there may be a growing sense today of some kind of a turning point getting ready to take place in our lives, or around us. Pluto often shows us what needs to be taken down or gotten rid of, and then later, what needs to be erected, or resurrected, in its place.

Famous July 5 Birthdays: Huey Lewis, Richard “Goose” Gossage, Henry Cabot Lodge, David G. Farragut.

“Dam the torpedoes. Full speed ahead.” David G. Farragut

Enjoy your Sunday!

Astrology for July 4, 2015: An Aquarian Moon, Cosmic Quote of the Day

Ain't That America?

Cosmic Quote of the Day: “Freedom rings where opinions clash.” Adlai Stevenson

Although we may want other people to agree with our opinions – especially since we know we’re usually spot on in our assessment of things 🙂 – the mere fact that we can disagree on matters, is something that we should always be appreciative or grateful for, and something that we must never allow ourselves to take for granted, as we have all seen, especially recently, how insidious life can be when freedom of speech is suppressed or obliterated. Thomas Jefferson once remarked that he never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.

Today’s Energy:

On this Fourth of July, America’s celebration of freedom, the Moon is deposited, the entire day, in diversity-oriented Aquarius. This Moon placement, while more emotionally detached, can serve to take us outside of ourselves, and our own interests, to focus on the greater interests or needs of the collective. Accordingly, it is a time when we may feel more predisposed to taking a stand on causes that are important to us, that reflect or support our values. Also this may be a period when we might just long to be with others, especially with the people who make us come alive, or who are interesting to us, for one reason or another. The Moon’s sextile to routine-buster Uranus (6:16 pm) also gives us a fascination for “what’s off the beaten path,” while the Moon’s opposition to exuberant Jupiter (9:37 pm) allows us to connect with what brings our heart joy, and delivers a palpable sense of oxygen to our spirit.

* All times EDT.

Famous July 4 Birthdays: Malia Obama, George Steinbrenner, Calvin Coolidge, Geraldo Rivera, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Abigail Van Buren

“What other dungeon is so dark as one’s own heart! What jailer so inexorable as one’s self!” Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter

Astrology July 3, 2015: Mercury Sextile Jupiter, Cosmic Quote of the Day

Quietness 2

Cosmic Quote of the Day: “You can change your world by changing your words. Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Joel Osteen

Since words are free to use, so to speak, it seems that many of us are far too casual with how we employ them. Accordingly, we often overlook or fail to grasp their inherent life-changing potential. Oliver Wendell Holmes once said that we should speak clearly, if at all, carving every word before we let it fall; in other words, to be intentional in our speech.

Today’s Energy:

Communicator Mercury, which happens to govern our speech or words, sextiles philosophical Jupiter, the planet of opportunity and optimism, this evening (8:54 pm). This upbeat (“I can do it!”) influence has a general broadening impact upon our intellect, and poises us to want to look ahead and to think big. We are also more intent on wanting to get our message out before the world now, so that we can, hopefully, wield our irresistible sphere of influence. Archetypally, Mercury-Jupiter symbolizes “the orator” or “the preacher.” Also, “the persuader,””the politician,” and “the humorist.”

Mercury-Jupiter aspects are considered favorable for publishing, marketing and advertising, higher education, signing contracts, and general legal matters. They also are associated with international or multi-cultural relations.

The Moon also leaves utilitarian Capricorn for non-conforming Aquarius today (8:21 am), giving us a perfect chance to express our holed up, “inner hippie.” 🙂

*All times EDT.

Famous July 3 Birthdays: Tom Cruise, Julian Assange, Montel Williams, Gloria Allred, Elizabeth Edwards

“The sense of perspective that interaction with multiple cultures gives you I find to be extremely valuable, because it allows you to see the structure of a country with greater clarity, and gives you a sense of mental independence.” Julian Assange

Enjoy your Friday!

Owl Closeup

(Today’s Planetary Aspects: Moon conjunct Pluto, 5:55 am; Mercury sextile Uranus, 2:50 pm; Moon square Uranus, 3:58 pm; Moon quinqunx Mercury, 4:07 pm; Moon sextile Chiron, 6:04 pm; Moon quinqunx Venus, 8:06 pm. All times EDT.) 

Cosmic Quote of the Day: “Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won’t come in.” Alan Alda

Each of us excels in storytelling, particularly the stories that we tell ourselves about ourselves, and what’s possible for our lives. Often, too, we readily accept these personal accounts as the gospel truth when, in reality, they may be closer to fiction.

Today’s Energy:

Moon conjunct Pluto, 5:55 am: Even though it’s early morning, we awake with a desire to get to the bottom of things.

Mercury sextile Uranus, 2:50 pm: Here is B-R-E-A-K-T-H-R-O-U-G-H relief fast on its way to us to confront some of those storylines in our head. This is perfect energy for precipitating mental shifts as our curiosity is more fully engaged. We naturally are more oriented toward questioning our assumptions, at this time, including questioning the unquestioned answers!

Also a great influence for meeting and conversing with new people who harbor very different views from our own, which can also serve to subtly rock our world. This aspect additionally favors dealing with any technology-related matter. This alignment will linger around for the next day or so.

Moon square Uranus, 3:58 pm: Departing from our routine, for a while, helps to recharge our batteries and makes us better appreciate what we have going on.

Moon quinqunx Mercury, 4:07 pm: Our heart and head may be at a temporary impasse. Best to think before we speak, and formulate our words clearly. Also, avoid prejudging things.

Moon sextile Chiron, 6:04 pm: There’s more finesse and sensitivity in knowing how to assuage pain or handle emotional issues.

Moon quinqunx Venus, 8:06 pm: Letting go our expectations of how others should behave, or how a situation should be, makes the present moment richer and more enjoyable.

Famous July 2 Birthdays: Lindsay Lohan, Thurgood Marshall, Richard Petty, Pierre Cardin, Jerry Hall, Herman Hesse, Imelda Marcos

“We are sun and moon, dear friend; we are sea and land. It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is: each the other’s opposite and complement.” Herman Hesse, Narcissus and Goldman

Enjoy your Thursday!

Astrology July 1, 2015: Full Moon in Capricorn, Cosmic Quote of the Day

Full Moon

(Today’s Planetary Aspects: Venus conjunct Jupiter, 3:51 am; Moon opposite Mars, 1:32 pm; Sun trine Neptune, 5:10 pm; Moon sextile Neptune, 9:59 pm; Moon opposite Sun, 10:20 pm. Moon is in Sagittarius until 5:11 am, when it enters Capricorn; All times EDT.)

Cosmic Quote of the Day: “If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.” Henry Ford

Isn’t it interesting that when we each focus on becoming more of what we already are, success is something that becomes almost a non-issue for us?

Today’s Energy:

A Full Moon in “ambitious” Capricorn occurs at 10:20 pm tonight. Full Moons bring heightened awareness, thereby allowing us to cop new perspectives. The Full Moon in Capricorn specifically affords us a chance to focus on creating more of a work/life balance – never an easy task! This is an excellent time to revisit those goals that we eagerly set, at the start of the year, and evaluate how we are faring with them. Are we still wanting to tow the line, or do we maybe need to make a course correction? Or, possibly we have gotten sidetracked, the last few months, and need to get back on track now with the personal vision that we hold for ourselves. A Capricorn Full Moon also puts the spotlight on those traditional elements that accompany our public image such as reputation, leadership ability, organizational skills, and career success.

Lovable Venus also exactly conjuncts benefic Jupiter today (3:51 am), an influence that has been building in strength, for the last few days. This is regarded as one of the most fortuitous, pleasurable, and romantic influences of all as expansive Jupiter, the purveyor of opportunity, magnifies all the best qualities of the charming Venusian energy. This conjunction also helps to re-set the socially reforming, albeit seemingly magical, Jupiter Uranus trine, which is still within a one degree orb from being exact. We tend to see the best in others now and want to do what is in our power to make others happy. Our mood is very warm, friendly and gregarious, although we could get a little carried away with self-indulgent behavior, especially since this influence tends to favor or court lavish celebrations or overtures. Of course, we could also counteract or neutralize this tendency, if we wanted to, by intentionally engaging in random acts of kindness, in an effort to spread the wealth and gaiety around. This aspect remains in effect for a couple of days.

Moon opposite Mars, 1:32 pm. We are poised to meet or achieve our goals, but may need to possibly counteract a tendency toward hypersensitivity, even bullying. Avoiding those who know how to push our buttons, too, is probably a smart strategy now.

Sun trine Neptune, 9:59 pm. This is a highly creative and imaginative aspect that kindles our humanitarian instincts and compassion. We are more willing to take a back seat to others now as our ego needs subside, although we may still need to be vigilant or discerning as to the sincerity of other people’s intentions. In general, this is excellent energy for dissolving differences, implementing peacekeeping measures or truces, both on an individual and a collective level.  Also, quite fittingly here, President Obama is reportedly set to unveil, today, a deal between the U.S. and Cuba that would reopen embassies and restore diplomatic ties that were broken more than 50 years ago (from AOL.com).

Also, Sun trine Neptune is an ideal influence for immersion in spiritual studies, meditation, partaking in retreats, taking trips by the sea, or any type of visioning work. Those who are artistically gifted may also find this energy great for doing photography, painting, sculpting, or watercolor.  This alignment is also, of course, a very nice complement to the loving, very generous in nature, Venus-Jupiter aspect, as they both potentially carry a lot of healing energy within them.  This influence will remain in effect for two or three days.

Famous July 1 Birthdays: Princess Diana, Pamela Anderson, Dan Aykroyd, Deborah Harry, Olivia de Havilland

“Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.” Princess Diana

Full Moon Blessings to you!
