“Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.” Gautama Buddha

Mental Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer at 14 degrees (at 12:59 am): The winged messenger is now the fifth planet currently retrograde, with the other four being Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto. Generally, retrograde motion signifies a time when we review or reassess the past. Too, with so many planets in apparent backward motion now, it may be harder for us to move forward.

With intellectual Mercury Rx in protective, nesting Cancer, we are likely re-thinking/re-framing issues centering around the home and family (including our ancestral or historic past), safety and security, patriotism/nationalism, and self-care or nurturing. Ideally, Mercury’s Rx cycle will generate deep insights for us, particularly on more of a gut-level. Mercury will remain retrograde until July 12th.

Mars in Pisces sextile Pluto Rx in Capricorn (at 7:08 pm): This can symbolize the arrival or deployment of reforms or strategies or approaches that can help to positively transform or turn our world around. We may also feel more empowered to pursue our dreams or ideals with more intensity.

(The last time we had Mars in Pisces exactly sextile Pluto in Capricorn was December 17th-18th of 2018. Some highlights back then: Elon Musk opened the 1.6km-long Boring Test (Pluto-ruled) Tunnel in Hawthorne, California, which is designed to demonstrate technology that will transport cars at high speeds below the city; Astronomers also announced the discovery of trans-Neptunian object 2018-VG, the most distant object in the Solar System ever observed; The U.S. Department of Justice also issued a final regulation banning the use of bump stocks, which allow semi-automatic (Mars-ruled) rifles to be fired at a rate similar to that of automatic weapons and became infamous following the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting. – From Wikipedia)

Born On This Day: Beatle Paul McCartney. He’s turning 78!

“I am the eternal optimist. No 
matter how rough it gets, there’s always light somewhere. The rest of the sky may be cloudy, but that little bit of blue draws me on.” P.M.

Hope it’s a good one! Be safe and well.

Cosmic Weather:

“Think for yourself and let others enjoy the privilege of doing so too.” Voltaire

Sun in Gemini quinqunx Jupiter Rx in Capricorn, 3:33 am: While we may feel uncomfortable in the face of beliefs or convictions that are contrary to our own or that we do not understand, exposing ourselves to other viewpoints or philosophies could bring some teachable moments that serve to not only stretch our perceptions but also possibly raise our level of tolerance. On the shadow side, exaggerated confidence or arrogance could find us glossing over or dismissing details.

Waning Moon Enters Taurus, 5:35 am: With Luna in the sign of the bull, there is more of an innate need for security, stability, and consistency as well as a greater affinity for pleasures of the physical plane.

Venus Retrograde in Gemini trine Juno in Libra, 6:07 am: Ideally helps us to express ourselves and listen to others in a more balanced or cooperative manner. This can be a favorable time to review or revisit partnership agreements.

*All times EDT.

On This Day in History:  On June 16, 2015, TV personality and real estate mogul Donald Trump launched his campaign for the Republican nomination for US President. He made his announcement at the lavish Trump Towers on Fifth Avenue in New York.

Interestingly, in the stars, that day, there was a New Moon in opinionated Gemini that was almost exactly conjunct fiery, self-assertive Mars (one-degree). New Moons, of course, provide momentum for new beginnings. Too, with warrior Mars conjunct both the Sun and Moon in Gemini, there was inexhaustible energy for communication. The Sun also rules power and authority and often when it is conjunct Mars we are clued or alerted for changes in leadership.

Also, expansive Jupiter was in pompous, kingly Leo and exactly trine unconventional Uranus in Aries. The Jupiter-Uranus trine here could symbolize, among other things, exposure to a perspective or philosophy that is unusual or unique (if not a bit flashy or theatrical). Jupiter-Uranus energy also tends to push the limits and can often be quite controversial. 

Hope it’s a good one! Be safe and well.

Astrology June 13, 2020: Mars Conjunct Neptune

“It is easier to believe in the ideal than it is to achieve it, but it is impossible to achieve the ideal if one does not believe in it.” Josh Steimie

With motivating Mars conjunct idealistic Neptune in Pisces (at 10:13 am) our actions may be guided now more by our dreams, fantasies, or illusions than perhaps by tangible reality. This can also be an especially creative time for artistic endeavors that rely largely on imagination or inspiration. Others of us may also feel a strong pull toward the spiritual or transcendent realm, as well as maybe feel more singularly directed by a sense of selflessness or compassion or unconditional love. Too, in some cases, Mars-Neptune can give rise to elements of martyrdom in which we can feel compelled to give ourselves over to a larger cause.

On the shadow side, Mars-Neptune alignments can also occasionally be very ego-denying, which can sometimes result in second-guessing or even doubting ourselves as firm backing from others may be harder or more elusive for us to obtain now. Or, it’s also possible that we may simply be feeling more misunderstood or misrepresented at this time. In some instances, Mars-Neptune aspects are also linked with actual retreat or surrender on matters, as Mars rules the urge for assertion and merged with dissolving, diffusive Neptune there can be an erosion or subjugation of that urge. It may also be the case that there’s simply not enough physical energy available to power our moves now or to want to deal with or take on any opposition.

Generally, Mars-Neptune aspects are often a good time to just chill out or relax, go with the flow, regroup our energies, turn inward and reflect until a clearer perspective re-emerges on the horizon – which it will – and we feel, once again, on more solid footing, more confident of what the next right step should be.

*All times EDT

Astrology Past: The last time we had Mars conjunct Neptune in Pisces (December 6, 2018), U.S. President George H.W. Bush was laid to rest next to his wife and daughter at his presidential library in College Station, Texas. Five living presidents, family, friends, and dignitaries from around the country and the world filled Washington National Cathedral for his funeral.

“We are a nation of communities…a brilliant diversity spread like stars, like a thousand points of light in a broad and peaceful sky.” George H.W. Bush

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology June 4, 2020: The Sagittarius Moon Sextiles Saturn

“When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.” Audre Lorde

The cosmic traffic is lighter today as we head into tomorrow’s Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse. Luna, which sets the emotional tone or tenor, shifts around midday (1:17 pm) from deeper, darker Scorpio – an orientation focused more on the less obvious or subterranean root causes of things – to adventurous, aspirational Sagittarius (1:17 pm).

With the Waxing Moon deposited in fire-sign Sadge, we are more apt to want to directly act out our emotions. Our actions, at this time, also tend to be fueled more by our ideals, personal beliefs, or convictions. Shortly after Luna enters Sagittarius, it also sextiles responsibility-oriented Saturn Rx in innovative, more progressive Aquarius (at 3:43 pm). This may direct us to focus our attention on taking more practical steps that have a higher probability of yielding tangible results in the real world.

“The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.” Henry David Thoreau

Astrology June 3, 2020: Sun Conjunct Venus Retrograde

Cosmic Weather:

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

Retrograde Venus (the goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and money) is in inferior conjunction with the Sun in Gemini today (at 1:44 pm), denoting the midpoint cycle of Venus’s current retrograde cycle as well as a symbolizing a new beginning in the Sun and Venus relationship. This conjunction also marks the transition from Venus as an evening star to a morning star.

Archetypally, sweet Venus tends to work as a harmonizer or balancer and retrograde in the communication sign of Gemini, there is potentially more promise now for soothing words or gestures to be able to work their special healing magic to fill what was perhaps an earlier void or lack of connection. This Sun-Venus alignment generally rallies us to put more energy into such things as being friendly or outgoing as the relationship realm is something that becomes much more vital or important now to who we are and how we see ourselves.

Too, with Venus retrograde, it could be that we have important new insights about the overall nature of our relationship or social or material needs as well as maybe glean a better understanding or perspective of what it is that we genuinely value or require in our lives order for us to feel truly happy or at least more emotionally content.

On another level, Sun-Venus aspects often help to generate more ease or flow in financial matters and may coincide with an increased desire to be surrounded by things of beauty, luxury, or objects of art.

The Waxing Moon is also in probing Scorpio, all day, suggesting our emotions are more intense at this time and our perceptions are potentially sharper. Often when Luna is here we are looking to become more fully engaged with or impassioned by our experiences. There can also be more ability or readiness for transformation. On a higher level, Scorpio represents a phoenix rising from the ashes.

“Scared and sacred are spelled with the same letters. Awful proceeds from the same root word as awesome. Terrify and terrific. Every negative experience holds the seed of transformation.” Alan Cohen

*All times EDT.

On This Day in History: On June 3, 1965, astronaut Edward H. White became the first American to “walk” in space during the flight of Gemini 4. White floated free outside the spacecraft, tethered to it, for approximately 20 minutes. Gemini 4 would also be the first multi-day (four-day) space flight by the United States, designed to show that it was possible for humans to remain in Outer space for extended lengths of time.  (Wikipedia)

Astrologically, that day, expansive Jupiter, the empowering Sun, and the future-oriented North Node were conjunct in mobile, environmentally-curious Gemini and all were square to breakthrough Uranus, the planetary ruler of space travel and technology. Revolutionizing Uranus was also conjunct transformational Pluto in perfecting Virgo, the zodiacal sign which is associated with tangibly improving our skill set or expertise. 

Hope it’s a good one! Be safe and well.
