“It is easier to live life through someone else than to become complete yourself.” Betty Friedan

COSMIC WEATHER:

The industrious, capable Capricorn Moon sagely advises us to invest in ourselves. To grow our abilities. Perfect our skills. So that we may make a worthwhile contribution to the collective, while also mastering the art of self-reliance.

Too, don’t we all like applause and praise? A pat on the back for a job well done? With the Moon’s square to “withholding” Saturn (5:40 pm EST), it could be that we may have to be our own cheering section today. That others may not take notice, or comment favorably on our achievements. Are we okay with that?

Also, the powerful Sun and warrior Mars continue their tight conjunction in change-oriented Aquarius, an invigorating, but more volatile aspect that has been around for several days. This aspect will be exact on Friday. This influence tends to fires us up. Makes us more predisposed to restructuring or altering our world (Aquarius). We are much more amenable to trying out new methods and procedures, even though we still have planets and the Moon in traditionalist Capricorn.

Of course, we have also been witnessing the chaos and political upheaval in Egypt, this past week, while this potent Sun-Mars aspect has been in effect. Thousands of people have been injured and reportedly over 100 persons killed.

Mars rules the aggressive urge (war), and the Sun, through the conjunction, is fueling that urge. Aquarius is also the sign that rules “group expression,” with Mars energizing that expression now. Sun-Mars in Aquarius can be viewed as “power for the people.” Aquarius is a sign of freedom and reform. Aquarius puts the needs of the collective, over the needs of individuals. Diverse factions unite to rally for their causes. Also, in the horoscope for modern Egypt, transiting Uranus (the ruler of Aquarius) at 27 degrees of Pisces is exactly square to the 27 degree natal Gemini Sun, suggesting an overhaul (Uranus) of the leadership (Sun). Too, demonstrations are planned in other countries in the Middle East in the coming days.

Expansive Jupiter is also now in Mars-ruled Aries. It will be there for the next few months. Jupiter in Aries can be personally liberating for many of us, in that it can endow us with a greater sense of self-confidence (Aries) and less fear, resulting in personal growth and the seizing of new opportunities. It can, however, simultaneously be a more potentially combative placement for us, in that we are often more willing to fight (Aries) or stand up for our beliefs (Jupiter). Aries is very courageous and brave. It is the sign of action, sometimes militant action. Sometimes overly impulsive, hasty action. Mars rules soldiers and the military, and vigilantism.

Venus Enters “Respectable” Capricorn February 4, 2011 to March 2, 2011

“When men and women are able to respect and accept their differences then love has a chance to blossom.” John Gray

Love goddess Venus enters stabilizing Capricorn on February 4th, where she will be firmly anchored until March 2nd. With Venus situated in cautious Saturn’s terrain, and Saturn in Libra, also in Venus’ home turf (mutual reception), there is more of a pragmatic quality to our relationships. We are less interested in “one night stands” now, unless they may fit into our long-range strategic planing (Saturn). 🙂

While Venus in Capricorn can be personally ambitious and also needs to be highly regarded and respected, she is generally seeking something more enduring romantically, perhaps for all eternity. Saturn rules time, so the focus is naturally more on longevity and the long-term commitments. Venus in Capricorn can be very faithful. Also, very passionate, once she dedicates herself, although initially on the surface, there may be a certain reserve or shyness, due to Saturn’s more sobering influence.

Figuring prominently into the equation for Venus in Capricorn: We prefer not to get involved with losers! What is meant by that is, we are looking for partners who will not be content to just loaf around. Instead we want alliances with those types of persons who are willing to “pull their own weight,” and bring something tangible to the plate. Capricorn is the sign associated with status, reputation, and achievement.  Self-made types who hold visible positions of power may hold special appeal for us, in the coming weeks ahead. Also, Venus in Capricorn often has a thing for older persons. Fabulous news for the over 50 crowd!

Venus also rules money, possessions, and our values. In Capricorn, we tend to be more conservative in our outlay of cash, and also are searching more for quality and substance, over quantity and frills. We are more interested in investments that are traditional and tried-and-true. Capricorn also rules our professional life and Venus here may bring more success to us on the career-front, as it is very benefic in influence. Networking to further our careers is highly recommended, especially on February 9th, when Venus conjuncts powerhouse Pluto, a time when we can make a formidable impact on others, if we play our cards right.

Patricia’s Astrology January 30, 2011 “Devise Action Plan” Daily Horoscope

“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.” Henry Ford

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Moon vacates visionary Sagittarius for utilitarian Capricorn (9:04 am EST). The Moon in Capricorn is an excellent time for strategic planning.  Too, with the dynamic New Moon in Aquarius coming up on Wednesday, this is an ideal period to devise detailed action plans to put into effect with the New Moon. This New Moon is very powerful as it conjoins pioneering Mars. (See my earlier blog on this lunation.)

The Moon today forms an exact square to Jupiter (11:53 am EST). Moon square Jupiter tends to give us a big head and can also make us more extravagant. It’s best to avoid excesses now. Unless, of course, they involve George Clooney. 🙂

Later the Moon conjoins control freak Pluto (9:02 pm EST). We may want to avoid issuing ultimatums now. Moon-Pluto tends to bring out extremes in behavior. On the plus side, this aspect can give us potent ability for solving riddles and mysteries.

“The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.” Deepak Chopra

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Moon continues in adventurous Sagittarius, beckoning us to move outside of our comfort zones. Hopefully, we’re up to this challenge. We should also do things that we are truly enthusiastic about today. Sagittarius energy is animated and spontaneous. It doesn’t like to be repressed.

Also, it’s a great day for growing our social connections. We’re definitely poised to “feel the love,” and need to additionally be “spreading the love” around now. This is because the Sadge Moon is making her monthly meet-up with seductive love goddess Venus (10:18 pm EST). Our power of attraction sizzles!!! 🙂

“Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose further developments, a future – and also because we live as if our only task was precisely to have relationships with other people.” Albert Camus

Daily Horoscope: Our Spirits Soar With Sagittarius Moon January 28, 2011

“Optimism is the faith that leads to great achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.” Helen Keller

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Moon enters enthusiastic Sagittarius (1:55 am EST), lending welcome support to optimistic Jupiter in trailblazing Aries.

Our spirits soar.

We’re ready for liftoff.

Nothing’s gonna stop us.

It was a tough decision to have to make, but we’ve even decided to put off vacuuming for another day, so that we can play among the clouds in our beautiful, hope-filled balloon. No matter that we’re petrified of heights. 🙂

The Sadge Moon favors “taking stands” and “acting on our beliefs.” Sagittarius governs our “philosophy of life,” our higher vision. We are more prone to wanting to preach now, or proselytize others to our way of thinking. One pitfall with this Moon placement, is we can get “too carried away” and “fanatical.” That is why it is also wise to keep an open mind to others’ views, to practice tolerance. To let others have their opinions.

Too, we want to take note again of the Sun’s very close proximity to highly-charged, self-assertive Mars in futuristic Aquarius (around for a several days). This influence also gets us very “fired up” with respect to our beliefs, especially in the context of a group setting (Aquarius), and we tend to feel more courageous with it. However, we still may need or want to reign in our more “aggressive impulses,” or at least practice some measure of anger management.  Sun conjunct Mars, especially in independent Aquarius, borders on defiance. Remember, too, ego-oriented Mars is the “warrior” planet. That is why it is necessary to keep in mind “the bigger picture” (Sadge) and that we are all “in this together.”

“Peace is not something you wish for; it’s something you make. Something you do, something you are, and something you give away.” Robert Fulghum.

“Hope is a waking dream.” Aristotle.

New Moon in Aquarius February 2, 2011 Astrology

“We have it in our power to begin the world over again.” Thomas Paine

Most of us may already know the standard  “New Moon” drill: New Moons signify “new beginnings.” A New Moon occurs when the Moon, in its monthly orbit around Earth, lies between the Earth and Sun, and is therefore “in conjunction” with the Sun as viewed from Earth.

The New Moon on February 2nd at 13 degrees of “liberating” Aquarius (9:31 pm EST) is more powerful than the norm because it conjoins “initiator” Mars, ruler of the aggressive urge. This could propel us into more of a “manic” phase, or launch at warp speed. A “do, do, do” mode. Mars represents the physical energy in the body. A caution here is that we don’t overtax or overburden our systems, or lose our tempers. Anger management may be very wise now for all of us. Remember, too, that expansive Jupiter is in Mars-ruled Aries which can also raise up our activity level, as we scurry about conquering new horizons. Aries is very pioneering and does not want to be restrained. Neither does this New Moon in Aquarius.

Also we may be tempted to take a walk on the “wild side” now because beatnik Aquarius can be somewhat of a rules-breaker, and is prone to experimentation. Additionally, during this lunation, “love child” Venus in “spontaneous” Sagittarius is forming an exact square to electrifying Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius, in “spaced out” Pisces. With Venus-Uranus, we are looking for more “freedom of expression” in our intimate encounters and also in our social life. A good time to maybe radically spice things up in the bedroom. We are also able to accept or tolerate, or may even become entwined with people who are vastly different than ourselves. This, too, is partly because we are much more bored with the tried-and-true, and restless for excitement.

Also, connector Venus is simultaneously trine to fantasy Neptune, giving us no shortage of phantom lovers to help us make it through the New Moon night. Whether that perfect specimen of a man, George Clooney, will be among this fanciful procession, remains to be seen. We can only hope and fervently pray that this is the case. 🙂 Neptune represents creative types of people: dancers, writers, actors, singers, painters, etc. So Venusian alliances could pop up with these types of folks.

The New Moon in Aquarius also forms a harmonious trine to ambitious Saturn in “Beatles hold my hand” Libra. Not only are we pumped up to begin our lives anew, to take charge and make our defining mark (Mars), we also have the blessing of paternalistic Saturn, who is helping us to adroitly organize our affairs with precision and self-discipline so we can mightily ascend that exciting ladder of success. This trine to Saturn is big. Very big. No reason now why we can’t score that little house on the prairie with the white picket fence.

Too, even though a New Moon conjunct Mars can be fully self-absorbed, the trine to Saturn in relationship-building Libra suggests that we progress the most now by including others somehow into the cryptic equation. Busy little love goddess Venus is also pointing to the same thing. This is not a time for us to be an island. We want our personal freedom, yes, but we also are more inclined to be around other people now. With perhaps a marked preference for “new” other people who are unusual types. Also, Aquarius rules team orientation. This could be a key time to assume a leadership role in a group setting. Additionally, a wonderful time to immerse ourselves in positive, humanitarian causes for the collective. Our efforts can make a difference now!

“Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.” Vince Lombardi.

“What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.” T.S. Eliot

January 27, 2011 Mercury Quintile Jupiter “Way With Words” Daily Horoscope

“We have two ears and one mouth so we can listen twice as much as we speak.” Epictetus

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Moon continues yet another day with her head down in “probing, disrobing” Scorpio. If you look up in the sky tonight, and see she’s also wearing dark shades, don’t be alarmed. She’s just in her “Darth Vader” Pluto costume mode (Pluto rules Scorpio). Trying to be anonymous.

Normally, the Moon in “secretive” Scorpio has the net affect of shutting us up, but today, we also have chatty Mercury in “appearances are important” Capricorn forming a quintile to “blabbermouth” Jupiter in “race car” Aries. We may have a special way with words today (quintiles reveal talents), but, of course, with Jupiter involved we could be running over at the mouth a bit. Not anything too excessive, mind you, as we do again have that “let me stare your face off ” Scorpio Moon. Also, Mercury is still separating from that square to Saturn, from the day before, that tends to put a damper on our verbal expression. Saturn forces us to use as few words as possible, so Mercury is still dealing with some of that parsimonious trauma.

One thing about the Scorpio Moon: It is never wimpy. It also gives us an enhanced thirst for power and control, and the Moon’s semi-square to Pluto (at 10:18 am EST) may be when this desire is most notable. Too, we have the “illuminating” Sun getting closer to an exact conjunction to self-assertive Mars in social media Aquarius (Monday). That once a year aspect is usually a pretty big deal and indicative of major power plays, coup d’etats. All of our ego needs are red hot with that influence. We may already be starting to feel this energy somewhat, especially if we are a member of the U.S. Congress. 🙂

In closing, it’s a pretty good day to play detective.  The Scorpio Moon loves to investigate. Too, we may want to pardy hardy in the basement or cellar tonight. Or, fool around in the crawl space under the house. The main thing is to remember to surround ourselves with as much darkness as possible (Scorpio Moon). Pitch black conditions are best.

“Monsters are real, and the ghosts are real, too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.” Stephen King

January 26, 2011 Mercury Square Saturn “A Reality Check” Daily Horoscope

“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” Albert Einstein

COSMIC WEATHER:

Goal-keeper Saturn, the only planet with a hit “reality show” that we all despise, but watch anyway because we have no choice in the matter, stations retrograde today (1:11 am EST) at 17 degrees of nuptials Libra. The plot thickens even more here because mental Mercury, also positioned in Saturn’s subdued, medicated Capricorn, is forming an exact square to the old fart. 🙂 (See my earlier blog on Saturn retrograde in Libra for more sizzlin’ details.)

What this may mean for all of us is that we could be in for a big “reality check” today with our thinking, especially if we’ve been drinking too much of Neptune’s delusional Kool-aid instead of doing our proper due diligence.  Mercury-Saturn stands ready to show us the weakness and foolishness of our ideas, and is ready to send us back to the drawing board, if need be, for workable, “reality-based” solutions that take into consideration our tiny budgets and meager talents. We are empowered now by “facing the music” and recognizing the “folly” of our previous ways, and dutifully confessing our sins. No more profligate lifestyle. Only generic brands, generic prescriptions for us. We may still occasionally feast on pie, but no more pie ala mode. At least for a while. Saturn wants us to be “lean and mean” and to show a profit, at which time he will smile. Broadly.

Mercury-Saturn: “No, we cannot pass ‘Go.’ No, we do not get to collect $200. And, if we don’t come up shortly with some practical thought applications that appease authority figures, we could wind up in Monopoly jail doing hard labor, losing both Boardwalk and Park Place to foreclosure!”

In addition, the Moon is holed up all day long in deep, dark, foreboding Scorpio, making us feel totally like we’re in existential hell, with few choices or options around us. (This is not true, but Pluto-ruled Scorpio is always full of drama, angst, and darkness.) We’re forced to frightfully crawl into the tarantula infested caves for dubious shelter. Looking desperately for Mick Jagger and Keith Richards to assuage and soothe our Saturnian-induced pain and guilt, one more time. How about it, guys? Will you be the light at the end of the gloomy cave for us today, and help us to emotionally regenerate and heal? Pretty please?

“Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create that will.” George Bernard Shaw

Mental Mercury in professionally attired Capricorn forms a cool 72-degree link-up (quintile) with innovative Uranus in imaginative Pisces. We also have the social, romantic Libra Moon harmoniously trine inspirational Neptune, the ruler of Pisces (5:05 pm EST). We are able to formulate creative visual images (Neptune), original ideas. Things just flow, if we let them. Excellent day for any projects that require the full use of our imagination (poetry, songwriting, film-making, photography, dancing, art).

Later, the feminine Moon slips into “something sexy” when she enters passionate Scorpio (9:16 pm EST). Turn the lights down low tonight. Find somebody to love. Forget about old fart Saturn getting ready to station retrograde in matrimonial Libra. Make him wait with his torture! Tonight’s the night, babe! Everything’s gonna be alright. “Saturn, find somebody to lasso in with those sexy rings of yours, bro!” 🙂

“Passion, though a bad regulator, is a powerful spring.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to reach my destination.” Jimmy Dean

Saturn, the taskmaster planet, who takes it upon himself to provide us with a “reality check,” whether we want it or not, turns retrograde in relationship Libra on January 26th (1:11 am EST) at 17 degrees. It will go direct again in mid-June at 9 degrees of Libra. It originally entered Libra in the fall of 2009, then retrograded out of it for a while.

Basically, we “review” or “revisit” matters during retrograde periods, and attend to “unfinished business.” Since Saturn denotes our goals, with the retrograde wrinkle, we are re-assessing our goals, reconfiguring our strategies to get ahead. Saturn also represents our resolve, hard work, self-discipline, and determination. With Saturn retrograde in Libra, the sign of “the other,” we are seriously eyeing and re-evaluating our long-term relationships, the next few months. In some cases, we may be firming them up. In other instances, there may be break-ups, or a parting of the ways.

Overall, Saturn in Libra is a period when we tend to “realize our goals” by working more in conjunction or collaboration with others. We also become more aware of how we get along with others, in general, on a one-to-one basis, as well as developing a greater awareness about what our relationships mean to us, and the corresponding work that they entail.  Saturn stays in Libra until October of 2012.

Also, when Saturn first stations retrograde, and for a few days afterwards, our affairs often seem to come to a crawl or a standstill. This “slowing down period” may seem especially frustrating to us now, as expansive, optimistic Jupiter just moved into adventurous Aries and is ready to roll.

Additionally, mental Mercury is forming a tense square to Saturn, when it goes retrograde, which could result in misunderstandings or communication snafus. We may want to be more patient in our dialogue with others now, and perhaps take more time to listen to what is being said. Also, it’s a time when we are well-served not to make too many assumptions, or to rashly pass judgment. With Mercury-Saturn, we sometimes tend to expect the worst and our focus can be too narrow.

Of course, we will also want to take note of the particular house in our birth chart that Saturn is stationing retrograde in, for more insight on how this retro period may personally play out for us. For instance, if we have Saturn transiting through our second house of money, relationships involving money or possessions, may be most impacted. We may also be re-thinking our financial strategies. In the tenth house, our career relationships would be emphasized. We may also be re-evaluating, tinkering with our professional goals. And so forth.

Fascinatingly, Saturn is stationing retrograde exactly conjunct Oprah Winfrey‘s tenth house of career at 17 degrees of Libra now, as she gets ready to wrap up her daily television show this season, as well as continue with the fresh launch of her own television network (OWN). Saturn will cross back over into Oprah’s career house, in September of 2011, and will be exactly conjunct that house again, when she signs off her daily talk show for good, on September 9th.

Transiting Saturn on the tenth house often coincides with professional endings, as well as sometimes powerful new beginnings built upon our prior experience. It can also denote the “height of achievement” of a person’s life, in terms of notable success in the “outer world” which is Saturn-ruled. With Saturn (Lord of Karma) at the very top of her chart, Oprah is leaving behind her successful daily, top-rated talk show that helped to make her the richest woman in the world for her new focus with OWN. She is embarking upon an important new chapter in her life, while simultaneously being universally recognized by the world (Saturn) for her crowning achievement in broadcasting, a very rich  “legacy” that Saturn and the tenth house are also associated with. The Saturn-ruled tenth house is our reputation, our standing in the community, and “the mark” that we leave on the world. During the retrograde phase now, she is likely going to be reflecting on all her 10th house accomplishments and also seriously re-assessing some things, perhaps deciding what to keep with her in her next phase at OWN, and what to release. Possibly cutting some relationship ties around her work, strengthening other ones. Intently focusing on, reconfiguring her business and career goals.

“Sometimes two people need to step apart and make a space between that each may see the other anew, in a glance across a room, or silhouetted against the Moon.” Robert Brault.
