“There is no such thing as conversation. It is an illusion. There are intersecting monologues, that is all.” Rebecca West

Cosmic Word Of The Day: Retro

(Mercury turns retrograde.)

Retro: 1) of or designating a style of an earlier time 2) denoting something associated with or revived from the past

“Mercury turns retro in Capricorn today at five degrees.”

“Please, would you kindly repeat that for me? You say that the mercury is reading what? Five degrees?  It feels more like about 70 in here to me.  Unless I’m having a hot flash. Your mercury in your thermometer must be wrong, lady.”

“No, I’m not talking about the temperature. I’m talking about the p-l-a-n-e-t Mercury. Mercury goes retrograde in Capricorn today, at five degrees. Near malefic Pluto and hotheaded Mars, which means…”

“I’m sorry. But, I still don’t quite understand you. You also appear to be moving your upper right lip kinda’ funny when you speak. Are the planets making you do that? Or have you been, perhaps, hanging out with President Obama? Please, if you could. Repeat whatever you are saying, just one more time. The point you are making about the hot temperature on Mars is what? And how does it affect our hair?”

“Not Mars! Mercury.  I was talking about M-E-R-C-U-R-Y! And, nothing about the temperature, or our hair! Mercury the planet, up in the sky, is going retrograde! 🙂

Yes, a sweet, nauseating preview of possible coming attractions the next 20 days as communicator Mercury, which also rules travel, goes retro, or seemingly backwards in motion, until Dec. 30th.

Mercury retrograde is a period of routine maintenance for our minds, diabolically visited upon us by a wicked cosmos.

It is set aside as a period for us to “review” and “reflect” upon our earlier thoughts and decisions, with a probable eye to “revising” whatever it is that we originally hatched or incubated inside our moist little reptilian brains.

Mercury retrograde characteristically correlates with misunderstandings, or general mental confusion. So it’s always a good idea to clarify and double-check things, especially travel plans. Also, we may want to double-check the thermostat. Just in case.

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope December 9, 2010: Blame Pluto

“Those who lack the company of the holy, remain all alone. Their pain never departs, and they fall into the grip of the Messenger of Death.” Sri Guru Granth Sahib

Cosmic Word Of The Day: Gripping

(Mercury, Mars, Pluto, North Node conjoined in Capricorn. Venus sextile Pluto.)

Gripping: 1) the act of grasping; a seizing and holding fast 2) a grasp, hold, or control 3) mental or intellectual hold

“A convergence of  ‘gripping energy’ continues to unfold around us. We’re all sort of like sitting ducks for the next few days, held hostage to it. 🙂

One bright spot: There’s no need to spend any money on movie tickets to watch high action-packed dramas, when we have so much suspenseful adventure occurring around us now, on a daily basis, free of charge.

Fortunately, thanks to our knowledge of astrology, we can at least take some refuge in blaming most of the seemingly implosive events and turmoil that we are hearing about so much in the news now, on that dark little guy P-L-U-T-O,  who is sitting cozily on his dethroned throne, with rare, warm assist from clever Mercury, warrior Mars, and the “let me point you in the direction of your karma, kiddies” North Node. All these players are singularly holed up in the sign of governmental, big business Capricorn.

Pluto’s, no doubt, been waiting for this captivating, ‘dream team’ Capricorn line-up, for quite a while, considering he’s such a power-monger and control freak.  He’s no doubt loving the so-called ‘David and Goliath showdown’ playing out in the collective between WikiLeaks and governmental bodies, and now also big business (MasterCard, Visa, Paypal, Amazon, etc) is becoming roped into this scenario, with the arrival of gung-ho, soldier boy Mars into Capricorn. Capricorn really denotes authority figures and other high-profile types, in general. Basically, anyone who wields power over others, or at least, dreams of doing so. Too, with Capricorn, we’re thinking about our legacy, and the length of our obituary.

Then we also have, of course, prominently figuring into the equation here, the matter of Santa Claus Jupiter conjunct ‘hi-tech’ Uranus, in behind the scenes, ‘you’ll never be able to catch me’ Pisces, getting its seeming ‘encrypted code’ jollies. Generous Jupiter’s apparently putting rebel Uranian hackers under all of our holiday trees this season, thanks to dictatorial directives from Pluto and the rest of the gestapo gang in Capricorn. Maybe it’s because we’ve been too naughty this year? I just want to know one thing: Whatever happened to plain old Barbie and Ken dolls, and electric trains, as gifts?

Jupiter conjunct Uranus is associated with genius.  The U.S. put a man on the Moon with this same exciting influence. But, now it also has the zealous hacker connotation to it, and the  “freedom of speech at all costs” battle cry.  Or, in other words, I’ll bust your cookie jar and steal all your cookies, and leave you only a few crumbs, if you don’t let me air your dirty laundry in public.  Cranky Uranus has to have its freedom, loves being a law unto itself.  No matter that there are billions of us here on planet Earth, and we all need to somehow figure out how to peacefully co-exist.  Why can’t we make love, instead of waging computer war games?

The last couple days have also been emotionally very gripping with the death of beloved Cancerian, Elizabeth Edwards, and now also word that Aretha Franklin is suffering from pancreatic cancer. (Get well, Aretha.)  We also had the very sad memorial for John Lennon yesterday, marking the 30th anniversary of his senseless death.

Too, even Oprah Winfrey was poignantly captured on tape yesterday, shedding some tears, during a Barbara Walters interview discussing her deep friendship with her best friend, Gayle King.

Simultaneous to these latter, personally gripping events, we have had relationship Venus in Scorpio (sign of death, rebirth, and crisis) sextile Pluto (Scorpio’s ruler), an aspect that often pulls at our heartstrings and tears at our emotions in unprecedented ways. With Venus-Pluto, we become deeply aware (Pluto) of the potentially awesome power of love (Venus), and its life-altering impact on our emotions. This Venus-Pluto influence will still be around for a few more days. We better continue to keep some Kleenex close by.

Still also not a peep out of George Clooney, either! We were hoping that he might come around with the magical Venus-Pluto. Yes, George is also worth at least two or three Kleenex. Looks like another bleak Saturday night’s on tap for us. Do you think that it could be that George is just shy, and that’s why he doesn’t connect with us? He does have his distant Capricorn Moon conjunct serious Saturn.  Saturn maybe subdues him emotionally, and maybe does make him a little bit shy.  ‘George, no need to worry.  We’ll be gentle with you.’

Also today: The Moon enters emotionally detached, cerebrally-minded Aquarius (2:32 am EST), perhaps providing us with a better chance to momentarily glean rational, cooler perspective on everything that’s going on, and try to make sense of some of the mad theater playing out on the world stage, before Mercury does its thing and goes ‘rogue retrograde’ tomorrow until December 30th.”

“Being a singer is a natural gift. It means I’m using to the highest degree possible the gift that God gave me to use. I’m happy with that.” Aretha Franklin.

In Memory of John Lennon: John and Yoko’s Wedding Horoscope

08 Wednesday Dec 2010

Posted by in December 2010 Astrology

Below is a post that I wrote in March 2010 about John Lennon and Yoko Ono‘s wedding horoscope. (They married March 20, 1969). In wake of the 30th anniversary of his death today, I thought I would re-run it. Missing you, John.

“When people get cynical about love, they should look at us [Yoko and John Lennon] and see it is possible.” Yoko Ono.

March 20, 1969 marks the 41st wedding anniversary of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.  The colorful pair married in front of the Rock of Gibraltar in a ceremony that lasted only ten minutes.  Shortly afterwards, the newlyweds flew to Amsterdam, Holland where they set up quarters in the Presidential Suite at the Hilton.  There, for one week, they had the first of two “bed-ins for peace.”

At the hotel, they had a receiving line for the press, gave interviews, answered questions. Not your typical honeymoon fare activities, but then again, John (Libra) and Yoko (Aquarian) were never your “typical couple.”

In their astrological wedding chart that day (time unknown), insatiable Jupiter was exactly conjoined non-conforming Uranus in Libra. Libra is the zodiacal sign of marriage.  This potent influence suggested that their partnership would always tend to be “out of the ordinary.” Having these two planets prominent, there would characteristically be a large appetite (Jupiter) and enthusiasm for doing things differently, wanting to rebelliously break with tradition (Uranus), within the confines of their marriage (Libra).

The Sun was also opposite (stressful) Jupiter and Uranus in their horoscope, again reiterating a need for freedom and a tendency to excessive behaviors. The Sun-Uranus influence also, unfortunately, hinted at the chance for a sudden end to the marriage, as the nature of Uranus is often disruptive. The Sun also governs the husband in a wedding chart.

Mercury (communication) was in idealistic, imaginative Pisces. That tended to intellectually attune them more to the humanistic issues of the collective.  The  Neptune-ruled Pisces mindset, at its highest expression, is intrinsically about dissolving all boundaries, demonstrating selfless love and compassion for each other, peacefully co-existing. It endlessly envisions the world “as one,” just like John perpetually sang about.

Also in their marriage chart, the Sun (purpose) was exactly trine (harmonious) Neptune, again reinforcing that same hopeful theme.  The Sun-Neptune tie also gave the union more of a mystical, otherworldy quality to it.  Neptune denotes our link to the Divine.

Too, in wake of John’s tragic, sudden departure from the world, Yoko’s marriage to John has maybe, understandably, ended up becoming something “larger than life” for her, something that she has perhaps idealized and placed atop a pedestal.  Characteristically with Neptune, we tend to worship and glorify our partners.  And, of course, in Yoko’s case, she has had to live a life largely minus John’s physical presence.  She maybe has cultivated a rich “spiritual union” with him which would be consistent with the “illusory” Sun Neptune energy. Neptune rules illusion and imagination, as well as the ethereal realms.

Idealistic Mercury in Pisces was also square (inner tension) to opinionated Mars (the warrior) in Sagittarius in the chart.  Mars shows our enthusiasms and passions.  It also represents our aggressive urge. When it is in philosophical Sagittarius, we can become almost fanatical in our beliefs and often feel a deep need to proselytize others to bring them aboard our same wavelength. We can also be very controversial and blunt in our comments, as Mercury governs our speech and Mars in Sagittarius acts very spontaneously.

Additionally, in their wedding chart, Venus, the planet of love and marriage, was in fiery, adventurous Aries conjoined with dutiful Saturn.  Venus-Saturn ties often indicate “karmic relationships” in which we feel a deep sense of responsibility, obligation, and loyalty to each other.  Saturn is regarded as the “Lord of Karma” in astrology. This is because he often brings us those more difficult lessons in life that we need to learn and experience in order to evolve and achieve our higher purposes. During the course of their marriage, too, John and Yoko had plenty of Saturnian ups and downs, trials and tribulations, and even an 18-month separation.  Too, in the beginning, their very union alienated them from the public and many Beatles’ fans.  But despite everything, it managed to endure.

On another level,  the Venus placement in the sign of Aries showed, too, that the couple would tend to enjoy “active pursuits” and “pioneering endeavors” that would garner attention to themselves. Venus not only rules love relationships, it also rules what we love to do.  Aries as a sign focuses much of its attention on its own self-identity and self-discovery.

Actually, Venus in Aries can contain elements of narcissism to it  – making us a little too much enthralled with our own self-image. Of course, when John and Yoko were together, they were both young and still discovering themselves, both individually and as a couple.  And, they were both very famous, so they wanted to naturally capitalize on their fame and use it as a springboard to further their more noble, impersonal causes for the collective.

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope December 8, 2010: Deep Passion

“They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.” Carl W. Buechner

Cosmic Word Of The Day: Engulf

(Venus sextile Pluto)

Engulf: 1) to swallow up in or as in a gulf; submerge 2) to plunge or immerse, as into a gulf

“We have sensuous Venus in passionate Scorpio sextile penetrating Pluto today. Our personal charm and magnetism know no boundaries. We are able to deliciously dazzle and sway everyone who crosses our path.

Theoretically, this could even include beguiling George Clooney, if only given a flickering chance at that golden opportunity.

‘All we are asking for is a couple minutes in your presence today, George.  We’re certain that, once you get near us in the flesh, you’ll be instantly hooked. Venus-Pluto is truly that spellbinding. It’s magical. Mystical. Before you know it, George, you’ll be engulfed with a deep burning desire for us in every fiber of your being. It will be a desire like you have never felt before for any other woman on the planet. In fact, you’ll never want to leave our sight. Too, that reality could make vacuuming alone in the dark, a sweet thing of the past. But, we’ll figure out something here, George. Don’t despair. Maybe we can find a new way to vacuum together as a couple, with depth of meaning and vast wonderment.’

Additionally, not that any of us care here, the Moon remains in professionally ambitious Capricorn, and is well-aspected.  Translation: We could also score big in the boardroom. Plus, George Clooney has his personal Moon in Capricorn in his horoscope. Yet another cosmic indication pointing to the inevitability that, yes, we will be together soon.

‘It’s in the stars, George! It’s kismet. Fate. There’s no escaping!'” 🙂

Mars in Capricorn December 7, 2010 to January 15, 2011

07 Tuesday Dec 2010

“I was obliged to be industrious.  Whoever is equally industrious will succeed equally well.” Johannes Sebastian Bach


The fiery red planet Mars, signifying energy in the physical body, enters ambitious Capricorn today (6:49 pm EST), the sign of its exaltation, where it will stay until January 15, 2011.

Mars, which additionally governs the aggressive urge, is “tamed” or more “restrained,” when in Saturn’s neck of the woods.  Disciplinarian Saturn rules Capricorn, a sign associated with authority, business, and people in high places. Keywords for Capricorn are: “I use.” Mars in Capricorn is hugely talented at utilizing all of the resources at its disposal to get ahead.  Mars in Capricorn can be very “pioneering” and “enterprising” in business.  It is often a signature of an “executive.”

And, yes, on the shadow side, Capricorn energy can be equated with being “manipulative” or orchestrating situations to get an “unfair advantage” from time to time. No question about it, Capricorn does like its power, and the feeling of power, and doesn’t like being without it. So that is one thing we have to be careful about with Mars here.  That we don’t ride roughshod over others in our quest to get, or keep, our high-profile seat in the boardroom. Although, Mars in Capricorn characteristically tends to be pretty cautious, and will generally refrain from engaging in certain behaviors or improprieties out of fear of adverse consequences in the future. It tends to “naturally check” its own behavior, in other words, perhaps as part of its strong survival instinct.

On a collective level, Capricorn is also linked with government. And, even though assertive Mars is “more controlled” in Capricorn, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it is not interested in “spreading its sphere of influence” or “growing its dominance” in the world. It may be that a few governments around the world try to aggressively vie for more power now, but in a very strategic, well-thought out way, with Mars, again, ruling the need for assertion.

Last time Mars entered Capricorn on December 27, 2008, was exactly the same day that Israel reportedly initiated “Operation Cast Lead” in the Gaza Strip, after launching an extensive wave of airstrikes. Mars in Capricorn can denote a capable strategist or war general, whereas Mars in impulsive Sagittarius can sometimes symbolize a warrior zealously going off “half-cocked,” in search of the truth, without bothering to do the necessary due diligence, in advance, to ensure victory.

Too, we may want to pay closer attention to the world news with Mars’ pending conjunction with tyrannical Pluto, which will be exact on December 13th and 14th, although, for practical purposes, this influence is already starting to apply. Governments could get very aggressive in wanting to wield more power with this aspect. Capricorn is very concerned with self- preservation and security issues.

Also, we have the matter of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks front and center on the world stage, with Pluto ruling leaks and spying and espionage. Many governments, especially the U.S., are now grappling with serious intelligence issues and defense concerns (Pluto), in wake of all these cable leaks, and they may want to take some kind of swift action (Mars) as a result. Or, at least plot new strategies to deal with this emerging Plutonian-themed problem.

Pluto conjunct the North Node in Capricorn has correlated with an historic exposing of confidential government information, with aggressor Mars in fanatical Sagittarius square blabbermouth Jupiter, acting as the trigger point for it. What do they say, “Loose lips sink ships.” Have to wonder about the long-term implications of this WikiLeaks breach, and whether there may be new developments with the matter with Mars conjunct suspense-ruling Pluto, which loves to bulldoze and plunder.

Getting back now to a more personal level: With Mars in “reputation is so vitally important to me” Capricorn, we are wanting to put our energies effectively to use, in a practical way, so as to deliver more prestige and status to ourselves. We are inclined to believe that these two things will be natural byproducts, if we but apply ourselves and put our nose to the grindstone, and also, of course, hobnob around with important “movers and shakers.”

It could be, too, that we will want to become more involved in business networking efforts now, with Capricorn officially ruling “big business.” Especially with a new year on the way and its characteristic “new ambition.” Of course, Mercury retrograde (Dec. 10 thru the 30th) could impede or complicate some of our Mars in Capricorn ambitions to get ahead here, in the short-term, but Mars will still be in Capricorn for a couple weeks after Mercury stations direct, giving us lots of time to progress. Too, a lot of times with Mercury retrograde, we can still have great success in matters, we  just need to pay more attention to detail and following up on the execution of matters.

NEWS UPDATE 12/8/10: It was reported today that sympathetic supporters of WikiLeaks launched cyber attacks into MasterCard and Visa, and various other sites today as part of “Operation Payback.” I was thinking tonight that warrior Mars’ movement into Capricorn is sort of playing out here, initially anyway, as “war on big business,” as Capricorn rules business. It’s always very interesting to watch the events in the collective when Mars enters a new sign, as energizer Mars is such a catalyst for things to happen.

Mercury Conjunct Pluto in Capricorn: Julian Assange Arrested

07 Tuesday Dec 2010

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, was reportedly arrested by British Police in London today at 9:30 am on a warrant issued by Swedish authorities. Assange is wanted for allegedly committing sex crimes with two women, which he denies. Assange is slated to appear before a magistrate’s court in London later today. It should also be noted that Assange has not formally be charged with anything. He also voluntarily turned himself into authorities today.

Fascinatingly, and ironically, Assange, who is responsible for leaking hundreds of diplomatic U.S. cables just last week, was busted with a 5 degree Capricorn rising “event horoscope” (erected for 9:30 am in London today), which puts the North Node, Mercury, Pluto, and the Moon all exactly conjunct the rising.

I always affectionately label Pluto as the “Grand Master Spy,” as Pluto tends to deliver to us dark, foreboding secrets. Whatever has been buried or submerged is brought to the surface with Pluto i.e. classified information or documents, or people who have “been in hiding.”

Historically, Pluto is linked with spies and espionage.  Also, terrorism or any “hidden factions” that use force. Pluto seems to operate more as a “control freak” or “power monger.” It is very fanatical and obsessed in its focus. It’s wanting to “call the shots” at all cost. What is often revealed through “purging” Pluto usually has “life-altering” or “transforming” ramifications for people and circumstances, and even the world at large.  Pluto rules “the masses.” Also, death, destruction, and rebirth.

Mercury rules news and communication and when aligned with Pluto, we classically hear about “Pluto” issues in the news: death, annihilation, crisis or turning point situations, sex, spying and espionage, captures, manipulation, abuses of power, history-making firsts or breakthroughs. Too, Mercury-Pluto topics can sometimes be characterized as those areas that are more historically “taboo” or “off-limits” to openly speak about, due to their more sensitive nature, like issues of sex or death.

The first house or ascendant in a horoscope deals with “new beginnings” and the immediate issues that are before us on the horizon. So having all these bodies: Moon, Mercury, North Node and Pluto, conjoined the ascendant, at the exact time of Assange’s arrest today, further brought these “undercover” or “spy” matters front and center (nature of Pluto) in our consciousness and instantly playing out in the news worldwide (Mercury-Pluto).

Symbolically, that cosmic line-up could be interpreted as “someone who makes his living exposing secrets” is making news at the moment (ascendant).  Too, Pluto is implicated in sex crimes, or situations in which sex is “forced.”

Scorpio, which is the offical sign of sex, a sign that Pluto also rules, is at the very top of this event chart, or on the tenth house cusp, with “love Goddess” Venus, ruling women, in a wide conjunction with the tenth.

Interestingly, relationship Venus is also moving into an exact sextile to Pluto now in the heavens.  Venus-Pluto can indicate “passionate” or “steamy” romance. Also, Venus-Pluto can often be symbolic of a relationship that contains “manipulative” aspects to it, once again due to the “controlling” nature of Pluto.

On another fascinating level, with this Venus-Pluto aspect manifesting now, and Assange’s alleged tryst with these two women simultaneously crescendoing to the forefront, Venus-Pluto is symbolically having the net affect of putting “sex” and “matters of the heart” center stage for the collective to mull over and perhaps talk about. Very interesting from an astrological lens.

“Life’s not always fair.  Sometimes you can get a splinter even sliding down a rainbow.” Terri Guillemets

Cosmic Word Of The Day: Saturnian

(Moon in Capricorn. Sun sextile Saturn. Moon square Saturn. Mars enters Capricorn.)

Saturnian: 1) of or pertaining to the planet Saturn 2) of or pertaining to the god “Saturn,” whose reign is referred to as the “golden age.”

“Well, unfortunately, the gig is up for many of us today.  It’s time to put away our coloring books and dump out the Kool-Aid and get serious about life.  There’s simply no escaping the clutches of Karma Lord Saturn, the Taskmaster, today. The old guy’s got his frickin’ fingerprints everywhere. What’s worse: He’s too cheap to paint his nails!

First, we have the Moon in Capricorn, Saturn’s sign. Then we have the Sun in Sagittarius sextile Saturn in Libra (3:01 am EST). Then sex pistol Mars attempts to enter or penetrate the “frigid waters” of Capricorn – and is shockingly successful at it (6:49 pm EST)! Lordy, lordy! Last, but not least, the Capricorn Moon squares Saturn (10:19 pm EST).

So, there you have it.  We have a Saturnian day to look forward to. Nose to the grindstone. Work, work, work, makes Jack a dull boy. Thanks to Saturn. No escape. No big hunk of cheese waiting for us. We’re not allowed to pass go or collect our $200. We’re barred from Boardwalk and Park Place. We’re trapped on Baltic Avenue. Saturn is squeezing out every last ounce of toil and sweat from us. And, the worst part of all: We don’t even have time to vacuum!” 🙂

“My physics teacher, Thomas Miner, was particularly gifted. To this day, I remember how he introduced the subject of physics.  He told us we were going to learn how to deal with very simple questions such as how a body falls due to the acceleration of gravity.” Steven Chu

COSMIC WORD OF THE DAY: Rev

(Moon square Jupiter and Uranus; Moon conjunct Mars)

Rev: 1) to accelerate sharply the speed of (an engine or the like)

“The Moon’s journey through far-reaching Sagittarius has us operating at an enthusiastic, revved up speed today.

Aspects to preachy Jupiter (7:28 am EST), erratic Uranus (12:14 pm EST), and self-willed Mars (4:47 pm EST) , however, could make us overreach or overstep our boundaries.

We do regain an appreciation of all things practical, however, and quickly put our foot on the brakes, when the Moon takes up residency in time-tested, nuts and bolts Capricorn (6:17 pm EST). A good period to hone in on our professional ambitions.

Meanwhile, the illuminating Sun in Sagittarius makes a quintile aspect to mystical Neptune today, augmenting our spiritual sensitivity and consciousness, and deliciously stoking our imagination.

“Logic will get you from A to B.  Imagination will take you everywhere.” Albert Einstein.

“Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.” John Wooden

The “radical change” planet Uranus stations direct in Pisces on December 5, 2010, after nearly a 5-month retrograde period. Uranus rules aviation, innovation,  revolution, technology, and scientific achievement. Uranus characteristically acts to “accelerate” or “quicken the pace” of events in our lives, both individually and collectively.

On a personal level, Uranus pertains to our “urge for individuality,” or need to “differentiate” ourselves from others. It also speaks to our “desire for freedom” or “liberation” from authority figures or restrictive situations. It frequently acts as kind of a “loose cannon,” symbolizing the “problem child” lurking inside each of us, who only wants to be a law unto himself.

Uranus additionally denotes our “intuition” or “sudden flashes” of insight. It is associated with “strokes of genius.”

Uranus spends approximately 7 years in each of the astrological signs, so after it leaves Pisces for Aries in March 2011, it will not be back in this sign for another 84 years.

Neptune-ruled Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, signifies our “spiritual urge” or “desire for transcendence.” It governs our charitable and compassionate instincts, and our more ego-denying impulses. Pisces also correlates with fantasy and our imagination, having domain over our creative impulses.

It could be that with Uranus direct, once again, in Pisces, that we have an excellent chance, the next few months, to make notable progress regarding our spiritual path, perhaps experience new revelations.  Yoga, meditation, and prayer may be more potent now as avenues for accelerating our inner guidance and insight.

We may also want to pay closer attention to our dreams and, if we’re not doing so already, start keeping a dream journal, as Pisces rules dreams and the subconscious and Uranus can be a sudden  “awakening agent” here. It should also be an excellent time for psychic development, with Uranus ruling intuition.

Uranus additionally governs astrology. It may also be a good time to get more involved with this study, as a way of opening ourselves up to higher wisdom and self-knowledge.

On a personal note: One thing that I enjoy doing, in a bid to cultivate my own ESP, is to periodically sit down in the evening with a magazine and, with my eyes closed, while running my hands over the pages, I try to “read” the pages.  I specifically try to pick up pictures or images on the pages, or see if I can psychically glean the general theme of the page, or at least get a feel for any colors.  It’s a fun thing to do, and the results can be pretty amazing. At least this has been the case for me. This is something I’ve done for over 20 years. Maybe others may want to try doing the same thing now, with intuitive Uranus stationing direct in psychic Pisces.

Too, our creativity and artistic leanings (Pisces) could be primed for a big boost now with Uranus direct. Included here might be film-making, photography, writing, painting, music, songwriting, dance, poetry. It may be that immersion into “creative-type expression” serves as a liberating agent (Uranus) for us.

Of course, perhaps the most noble and worthwhile thing that we could all do with Uranus stationing direct in “selfless” Pisces is to become more involved in humanistic causes. Maybe do more volunteering. Or find other ways, maybe novel new ways (Uranus), of giving back to our communities, and to the planet.

Historically, on a collective level, the last time Uranus turned direct in Pisces, before entering Aries for seven years, was back in December of 1927. It stationed direct on December 10th that year.

Interestingly, on December 8, 1927, Valdimir Shatalov was born in Petrapavlovsk. He would later become a Russian cosmonaut (Uranian-ruled profession). Shatalov flew three space missions of the Soyuz programme.  Then, from 1971 to 1987, he was Commander of Cosmonaut Training, and Director of the Cosmonaut Training Centre from then until 1991.

Also, on December 12, 1927, Robert Norton Norce was born in Burlington, Iowa. He would eventually be nicknamed the “Mayor of Silicon Valley.” He co-founded Fairchild Semiconductor in 1957 and Intel in 1968 (Uranus rules technology).  Norce  is credited with the invention of the integrated circuit or microchip, along with Jack Kilby.

Maybe history will also repeat itself now.  Perhaps a few more, “high-level” Uranian types, will be incarnating to our planet in the near term, to eventually propel us all forward in a positive, accelerated manner.

Too, with Uranus stationing direct now, we may also want to pay closer attention to the news headlines, the next few days. Especially look for breaking news regarding insurrections, rebel causes (Juan Assange), and technological (the internet) and scientific advances or developments. Also, news about outer space or “the great beyond.” Also, we may want to monitor news of a more ‘spiritual’ or ‘religious’ nature (Pisces).

It should also be noted here that when we have a change of motion with a planet, in this case Uranus stationing direct from, the influence is felt for a few days before and a few days after the turnaround.

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope December 5, 2010: Covert Plots

Cosmic Word Or The Day: Undercover

(Mercury conjunct Pluto)

Undercover: 1) working or done out of public sight; secret 2) engaged in spying or securing confidential information

“Beware of strangers in trench coats looking through binoculars today. And we’re not just talking about undercover aides to Hillary Clinton here. Mental Mercury, ruling news and communication, is conjoined both ‘master spy agent’ Pluto and the North Node in bureaucratic Capricorn (8:15 pm EST). No telling what kind of covert plots may be unearthed.  Of course, we have already had quite a few revelations, the past few days, with Pluto conjunct the North Node and Adventurous Mars in truth-seeking Sagittarius square Jupiter and Uranus. Could be, too, that WikiLeaks finds out and releases Bill Clinton‘s shoe size or Sarah Palin‘s dental records.

With Mercury-Pluto we are more privy to finding out juicy secrets and there can be breakthrough “Clousteau-type” investigations. It is a great aspect for research. We often hear about “historic firsts” with this influence. Pluto also rules taxes and debt, and a discussion of those issues are now front and center today on Capitol Hill.

Liberating, Tech-Ruling Uranus also goes direct in Mystical, Creative Pisces (8:51 pm EST) where it will stay until March 2011. With Uranus in forward motion again, it could be that we are able to progress further along our spiritual paths, the next few months, and that our personal creativity also gets boosted.

Historically, on a collective level, the last time Uranus turned direct in Pisces before entering Aries for 7 years, which was back in December of 1927, the co-founder of Intel, Robert Norce, was born.  Norce is credited with the invention of the integrated circuit or microchip, along with Jack Kilby. Definitely an invention that moved the world forward in an accelerated way. Uranus is synonymous with radical change.

Additionally, we have a New Moon in ‘yes we can’ Sagittarius (12:37 pm EST). We have ‘vision’ now, but, for some reason, we still can’t come up with the winning lotto numbers. Why is that? 🙂

“Will you walk into my parlor?” said the spider to the Fly; “Tis the prettiest little parlor that ever you did spy.” Mary Howitt
