Astrology May 31, 2010: Neptune Turns Retrograde, Watergate

“What does mysticism really mean?  It means the way to attain knowledge.  It’s close to philosophy, except in philosophy you go horizontally while in mysticism you go vertically.” – Elie Wiesel

Neptune, the mystical planet that is associated with meditation, psychic development, and higher consciousness, turns retrograde today in forward-thinking Aquarius and stays that way till November 6th.

Astrologically, Neptune is often thought to communicate with us in the still of night through our dreams. So it could be that we may want to pay closer attention to our nocturnal dreams now and see what kind of symbolic information we may be receiving. Maybe keep a dream journal by our bedside.

Under Neptune’s ray, we are also potentially more creative and imaginative, as well as intuitive.

The Moon, meanwhile, continues along her course in practical, earthy Capricorn, ideally a grounding energy and antidote to the transcendent Neptune energy.

“I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.” – Marie Curie

On This Day in History:

On May 31, 2005, Watergate figure “Deep Throat” is revealed to be W. Mark Felt a former FBI agent.  In the stars that day, the transiting Sun was in the news and communication sign of Gemini exactly square to disruptive Uranus in Pisces.

Uranus is associated with breakthrough discoveries as well as sudden twists and turns.  Pisces also governs illusion and deception. The electrifying Sun-Uranus energy was, therefore, seemingly a fitting backdrop to crack this mystery!

Also assisting here at the time, triggering Mars in dissolving Pisces was one degree from an exact square to undercover Pluto in truth-seeking Sagittarius. Pluto is linked with spies/espionage and spotlighting secrets.

May 31 birthdays: Brooke Shields, Clint Eastwood, Joe Namath.

Enjoy your Memorial Day. Pray for our soldiers and their families.

Astrology May 30, 2010: Saturn Stations Direct in Virgo

“There is only one success – to be able to spend your life in your own way.” – Christopher Morley

Saturn, which has been retrograde since January 13, stations direct today in perfecting Virgo. Saturn denotes hard work, responsibility, and all the corresponding structure that we erect in our lives as a result of our various efforts. Saturn in Virgo also encourages us to use and manage our talents/skills effectively.

Saturn’s perceived forward momentum signals that we now have the green light to move ahead with our goals and dreams.  Ideally, we may also start seeing some of our previous labors beginning to pay off!

Enjoy your Sunday!

Astrology May 28, 2010: Uranus in Aries

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

The Moon in Sagittarius resonates to the inner explorer in each of us today. And, with Uranus now crossed over into the new frontiers’ territory of Aries, new desires are beckoning us.  Old dreams are rekindled.

In current news:

The U.S. House voted Thursday to let the Defense Department repeal the ban on gay and bisexual people from serving in the military, potentially a big step toward ending the 1993 ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ law.

This vote came with liberator Uranus – the planet associated with social equality – at the tail end of Pisces.  Pisces is a compassionate sign that is often linked with civil rights issues. Too, with change-agent Uranus now in Aries, it’s possible that we see big changes with the military, which Aries rules.

Enjoy your Friday!

Astrology May 27, 2010: Full Moon in Sagittarius, Uranus into Aries

“Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.” Henry David Thoreau

Cosmic Watch:

With the Full Moon in archer Sagittarius (7:08 pm), we potentially focus our attention on our beliefs and convictions. Living authentically from our own point of truth is often regarded as the greatest gift that we can give to both ourselves and the world.

Too, the world around us may begin to change in bold and daring ways now with the entrance of liberating, revolutionizing Uranus into pioneering Aries, the sign of personal identity. (at 9:50 pm EDT).

Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, depicts new beginnings, particularly new personal beginnings. Uranus’s ingress into Aries ideally gives us a chance to free up how we think and feel about ourselves, potentially allowing us more options/possibilities.

Uranus will be in Aries for 7 years (although it will retrograde back into Pisces later this summer for a while before it firmly establishes here early 2011).

*All times EDT

Enjoy your day!

Astrology May 7, 2010: Venus Sextiles Mars, Sun Squares Mars

“Soul meets soul on lover’s lips.” Percy Bysshe Shelly

Cosmic Watch:

The Moon in Pisces heightens our sensitivity and puts the spotlight on our feelings and compassion. Our romantic fantasies may also turn into reality as relationship Venus sextiles passionate Mars. This is a great influence for meeting new people and also for creative and artistic projects. Both of these influences permeate the weekend.

Venus harmonious to Mars can also help to smooth over tensions in existing relationships while the Pisces Moon adds an extra measure of soothing healing and nurturing.

In the News:

Wall Street suffered its biggest ever intraday drop yesterday falling 998.5 points!  In one ten-minute stretch, the Dow slid nearly 700 points.  While it is still unclear what happened here, a trading glitch is suspected.

The Wall Street sell-off also came in the wake of mounting fears of debt defaults in Europe.

Astrologically, we still have Mercury retrograde in the financial sign of Taurus.

Also, the last few days, the transiting Sun in Taurus has been making an exact square to volatile Mars.  The Sun-Mars influence, while it only lasts about a week, can have a major impact while it’s in play. Mars often ignites or triggers new events, usually of an unsteady nature.

“Fear tends to manifest itself much more quickly than greed, so volatile markets tend to be on the downside.  In up markets, volatility tends to gradually decline.” Philip Roth

Astrology May 6, 2010: Luna is in Liberating Aquarius

“There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.” Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Cosmic Watch:

We shape our reality with our thinking.  We also give away our power when we feel that outside forces are more powerful than we are.

With the Moon entrenched in detached, analytical Aquarius, it’s a good day to take the temperature of our thinking and to reflect upon the kinds of ideas that we are putting inside our heads, particularly the ideas about ourselves and our own capabilities.

Perhaps we have too many recycled, fear-based thoughts and not enough empowering thoughts of what we can do.

Maybe we are afraid to try new things because we are scared of ridicule or rejection.

Aquarius is about freeing ourselves from self-limiting beliefs and ideas. It is about going beyond the herd mentality and cultivating the power of our own original thinking.

Often the simple act of brainstorming or talking over ideas with friends can help us to see things in a new light.

“Should we all confess our sins to one another we would all laugh at one another for our lack of originality.” Kahlil Gibran.

Astrology May 2010: Taurus Sun Squares Mars in Leo, Picasso Record Set

Cosmc Watch:

A painting by Picasso “Nude, Green Leaves and Bust” sold for $106.5 million last night at Christie’s, setting a record as the most expensive piece of artwork ever sold at an auction.  Picasso reportedly painted the picture in one day!

Astrologically, the transiting Sun in Taurus was exactly square pioneering Mars in Leo at auction time. Taurus rules money and possessions and Mars in Leo potentially fires up creative-type endeavors.  Mars nature is thought to bee adventurous and often correlates with “firsts” being set, while the square “forces action.” often impulsive, spontaneous moves.

Too, we still have thinker Mercury in acquisition-minded Taurus separating from a trine to intense passions Pluto in status-conscious Capricorn

Astrology May 4, 2010: Sun Square Mars, United Airlines Merger

“Perhaps there is only one cardinal sin: impatience.  Because of impatience we were driven out of Paradise, because of impatience we cannot return.” W.H. Auden

Cosmic Watch:

With the Sun square Mars, we’re possibly feeling more pressured and are more prone to acting on impulse rather than thought. That strategy can be risky and self-sabotaging, especially today when we can easily get in over our head.

It may be far wiser for us to take some time and gather our thoughts and put our minds at ease before acting. Sometimes, too, it’s better to let things play out.

We also want to make sure that we focus our attention, as best as we can, on whatever task it is that we are working on. That way we can help to avoid careless mishaps.

Also, focusing on our strengths instead of ruminating on our weaknesses, serves us very well now. When our thoughts are centered on what we can do, we feel empowered. However, when we dwell on our perceived deficits, that only adds to our feeling of pressure.

“Argue for your limitations and, sure enough, they’re yours.” Richard Bach

The Moon also wraps up her sojourn through pragmatic Capricorn and enters experimental Aquarius at 4:52 pm EDT. That Moon sign change may also be when we are more inclined to throw caution to the wind. We may want to remember, though, that exercising caution is sometimes a byproduct of wisdom.

In the News:

United Airlines announced on Monday it will merge with Continental Airlines in a deal worth $3.2 billion, creating the world’s largest airline! Yesterday is when we also had Mercury (ruler of travel and transportation) exactly trine to controlling/transforming Pluto. Pluto is often linked with power moves and this merger will certainly do that.

Also, the transiting Sun in merger-acquisition Taurus is square to pioneering Mars symbolically signifying taking action (square) on business deals (Taurus).

Uranus also rules aviation and we additionally have practical, resourceful Saturn opposed to Uranus now. That is no doubt another factor as the two existing airlines (Saturn) come together to form essentially a new entity (Uranus) perhaps as a matter of survival (Saturn).

Enjoy your Tuesday!

Astrology May 3, 2010: Mercury Trines Pluto

“The person who can combine frames of reference and draw connections between ostensibly unrelated points of view is likely to be the one who makes the creative breakthrough.”  Denise Skerejian.

Cosmic Watch:

We are possibly more astute in our thinking today and capable of very deep psychological perceptions and mental breakthroughs as Intellectual Mercury trines transformational Pluto.

Pluto represents hidden or submerged elements and aligned with Mercury we potentially have aspects of our deepest, innermost being filtering through to the surface now. Our task today is to sift through those inner contents for nuggets of gold!

“Truth like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.” Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy.

Mercury-Pluto is a healing energy that can help us to get at the root of our thinking with an eye to purging some of our more toxic or self-sabotaging beliefs about ourselves. We are able to eliminate negative thinking when we consciously assign experiences that we don’t like to those negative thoughts.

Moon, meanwhile, continues in ambitious Capricorn and the Taurus Sun is applying to a square to Mars in Leo which is exact tomorrow. The urge for power is potentially elevated now. Positive advancement is possible, but we must be careful not to create unnecessary enmity by acting with little or no regard for others.  This especially applies to any financial or possession dealings.

“Leadership is based on inspiration, not domination; on cooperation, not intimidation.” William Arthur Ward.

Enjoy your Monday!

Astrology May 2, 2010: Mercury Trine Pluto, Valdez Oil Spill

“Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” Theodore Roosevelt.

Cosmic Watch:

Moon enters practical Capricorn (6:00 am).  We want to feel useful and know that our actions are making a difference.  When we are doing what we love, we naturally feel purposeful. Today, is a potentially a good day to channel a passion of ours into a meaningful achievement or activity.

Thought-keeper Mercury is also harmoniously aligned (trine) to secretive Pluto.   We are able to penetrate and tap into life’s deepest mysteries and solve a mystery or two in the process. What alluded us before, is now made crystal clear.

“It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.” Albert Einstein.

We are well-advised to stick with things today. To focus our energies for maximum impact. Make it a day of discovery (Pluto) and purpose (Capricorn).

*All times EDT

In the News:

The tragedy of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico continues to unfold.

Checking back to the Exxon Valdez oil spill on March 24, 1989, we find that Saturn and Neptune were both conjunct in Capricorn then. Neptune rules the sea and oil; Saturn represents trials and tribulations. It also perhaps speaks to us about the importance of owning up to our duties/responsibilities.

Today, interestingly enough, we have Saturn and Neptune together again. This time Saturn is in perfecting, refining Virgo exactly quincunx to Neptune in experimental Aquarius.Saturn also rep resents the principle of conservation or the wise use of our resources.

Maybe this quincunx influence will help to usher in wiser stewardship practices (Virgo) and teach us to, perhaps, figure out how to better utilize our technological know-how (Aquarius) so as to live more judiciously with Mother Earth in the future?
