COSMIC WATCH:

“You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do.” Carl Jung

Our actions help to define who we are, they are the building blocks of our destiny and character. While we may have admirable intentions to do certain things, such as perhaps going on a fasting diet or vacuuming that unsightly, dust-laden carpet in the den, until we set those laudable inklings into motion, they’re still holed up in what could be described as the “Neptunian pipedream phase,” an ambiguous holding bin where it’s often easy for our hopes and desires to sheepishly recede or wither away. President Franklin D. Roosevelt once noted “There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still.”

With the Moon’s ingress into “initiating” Aries today (3:13 am EDT), the Universe is likely hinting to us that it’s time to get back on the batter’s mound and take another stab at our dreams. With both the Sun and Mercury also shifting into analyzing, studious Virgo, we may find it easier to be more organized and systematic in our approach now, for the next few weeks. I know this morning already, I found myself reaching for several index cards so that I could take copious notes from a book that I was reading – telltale evidence of very Virgo-ish behavior, I’m afraid. 🙂

How might you “get on base” today?

Enjoy your Friday!

Astrology July 31, 2013: Mars Squares Uranus, Moon in Gemini

“In this world one is seldom reduced to make a selection between two alternatives. There are as many varieties of conduct and opinion as there are turns of feature between an aquiline nose and a flat one.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

COSMIC WATCH:

Variety is said to be the “spice of life.” Today may be an especially good day to seek it out, with the Moon’s ingress into curious Gemini (11:42 am EDT) and also trailblazer Mars square to non-conforming Uranus, the planet of change and innovation. Too, while Mars-Uranus has been known to coincide with sweeping reforms (and revolts), it’s not always necessary to make wholesale changes with this influence to inject new life and variety into our lives; sometimes by tweaking things just a little, we can begin to shift the energy around us in a positive way – like casting a pebble into the water and witnessing the corresponding ripple affect. “And that is how change happens. One gesture. One person. One moment at a time.” Libba Bray

This might also be a good day to reflect upon, and to ask ourselves, “How open are we to issues of diversity (Uranus)?” “Christian, Jew, Muslim, shaman, Zoroastrian, stone, ground, mountain, river, each has a secret way of being with the mystery, unique and not to be judged.” Rumi

It should also be noted that on the heels of the Mars-Uranus influence, Israeli and Palestinian officials agreed to resume negotiations, something that hasn’t occurred for a long while (we also still have the healing grand water trine taking place between Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune). Whether or not these negotiations will be successful, remains to be seen, but at least an attempt is being made to make some progress here. Mars is also in Cancer (as is Jupiter), which not only governs the home and family, but also issues of patriotism, or allegiance to one’s country, and matters of territorialism. Uranus is also in new beginnings Aries, which can foster pioneering approaches or strategies. The square aspect, itself, is often a catalyst for taking action on matters.

Too, today the sentencing phase begins for Bradley Manning. Many have characterized him as a traitor to his country (Cancer) for giving classified U.S. military (Aries) information to Wikileaks. Yesterday, he was found guilty of espionage and theft charges, but acquitted of aiding the enemy. Symbolically, Mars-Uranus can signify “having to deal with rogue behavior.” Manning faces 136 years in prison on the charges.

Famous Birthdays July 31: Milton Friedman, J.K. Rowling, Geraldine Chaplin.

“If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.” J.K. Rowling

Enjoy your Wednesday!

astrology for july 28 2013, astrology july 28 2013, Bill Bradley, Ernest Hemingway, horoscope july 28 2013, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, life coaching for women, Oscar Wilde, pleasure

“I adore simple pleasures. They are the last refuge of the complex.” – Oscar Wilde

COSMIC WATCH:

Pleasure-seeking Venus sextiles benevolent Jupiter today, the planet of optimism and abundance. It’s a perfect time for kicking back and doing whatever fosters a sense of joy and fulfillment. For some, this might equate to pursuing a romantic interest; experimenting with a new recipe; or maybe attending get-togethers with family and friends.

Ernest Hemingway once referred to pleasures as the “punctuation marks of life.” He also added, however, that we don’t want to get trapped in the “festival theory of life,” inferring that “too much pleasure” can lead to boredom or atrophy of the human spirit.

The adventurous Aries Moon also adds to our desire to be fully immersed in the moment. “Real generosity towards the future lies in giving all to the present.” Albert Camus

Famous July 28 Birthdays: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Hugo Chavez, Bill Bradley.

astrology for july 26 2013, horoscope july 26 2013, Kevin Spacey, Mick Jagger, romance, Sandra Bullock

“If you have realistic ideals and can generally live up to them, your self-esteem will not be threatened. If your ideals are exaggerated and you cannot reach them, your good feelings from successes may be short lived, and you may feel that you are never good enough.” Mary C. Lamia

COSMIC WATCH:

Romantic Venus opposes dreamy Neptune, the planet of imagination and compassion. This aspect often finds us yearning for an idealized love; we’re eager to turn the tailless frog into a handsome prince. 🙂 Of course, most of us know what can happen when we venture down that prickly path. On the shadow side, too, this configuration is sometimes synonymous with clandestine or scandalous alliances.

Fortunately, later in the day, as Venus sextiles realistic, commitment-oriented Saturn, we’re more adept at sorting out fact from fiction; also, more concerned with determining the long-term value of our connections from a practical standpoint. Incidentally, Venus-Saturn is also linked with May-December romances.

The Moon’s ingress into initiating Aries (5:29 pm EDT) readies us for new beginnings. This Moon sign also favors physical activities.

Famous Birthdays July 26: Carl Gustav Jung, Sandra Bullock, Kevin Spacey, Mick Jagger.

astrology for july 25 2013, daily horoscope july 25 2013, dreams, Estelle Getty, Louise Brown, Maxfield Parrish, Moon in Pisces, self-realization, Sun in Leo, Wayne Dyer

“There is music in words, and it can be heard you know, by thinking.” E.L. Doctorow

COSMIC WATCH:

With the Moon sequestered all day in reflective Pisces, it’s advisable to spend some time alone with our thoughts; to turn an attentive ear to the music gently streaming inside of us.

Wayne Dyer once wrote, “Don’t die with the music still in you.” I take this to mean that we should never give up on our dreams. That we must find a way to keep on singing, or at least recalling, that magical, sometimes elusive melody within, that is our true essence and birthright – even if the rest of the world may not always “get us,” or render us rave reviews for our performances.

Too, we must believe that we are all lifted up when each of us beats along with the natural rhythm serenely emanating from within our sacred hearts. The idealistic Pisces Moon, coupled with the self-expressive, creative Leo Sun, beckon us on sweetly today to turn up the volume on our inner broadcast stations and joyfully sing along – even if we can only do this, for now, in the sanctity of the shower, with the bathroom door supportively closed. Perhaps a primitive, but promising start to an emancipated life. 🙂

Famous Birthdays July 25: Maxfield Parrish (1870 – 1966), Estelle Getty (1923-2008), Louise Brown, 35 (first test tube baby).

“The hard part is how to plan a picture so as to give to others what has happened to you. To render in paint an experience, to suggest the sense of light and color, of air and space.” Maxfield Parrish.

Hope you enjoy your day. It’s very nice to be back with you.

Astrology for May 1, 2013: Mercury Enters Taurus, Sun Trines Pluto

astrology may 1 2013, Beltane, Dalai Lama, Glenn Ford, Hobbit, horoscope may 1 2013, J. R. R. Tolkien, Judy Collins, life coaching for women, mercury enters taurus, Sun trine pluto

“You must understand, young Hobbit, it takes a long time to say anything in Old English. And we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say.” J. R. R. Tolkien

COSMIC WATCH:

Intellectual Mercury enters deliberate Taurus. This helps us to pilot down the burner on our thinking, so our thoughts and words have more time to marinate. Communications are endowed with more of a thorough quality now and we are also more attuned to the practical consequences of our thinking or reasoning. Mercury will stay in Taurus until May 15.

The Sun trining mysterious, transformative Pluto today may also lead us down an excavation trail. It’s a very good time to probe for deeper meaning, or for examining hidden motivations. Also, for tending to refurbishing projects.

The Moon’s entrance into curious, unconventional Aquarius, also suggests that we are more amenable to departing from the status quo now, or are at least, more willing to experiment with donning new approaches. “We must conduct research and then accept the results. If they don’t stand up to experimentation, Buddha’s own words must be rejected.” Dalai Lama XIV

Famous Birthdays May 1: Judy Collins, Glenn Ford, Jack Paar. “Immigration is the sincerest form of flattery.” Jack Paar

Happy Beltane Day!

astrology april 30 2013, astrology for april 13 2013, Cloris Leachman, mars opposite saturn, Milne, Moon in Capricorn, obstacle course, patience, Willie Nelson

“Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.” A. A. Milne

COSMIC WATCH:

With the Moon continuing a second day in “goal-directed” Capricorn, we’re still focused on reaching that proverbial mountaintop. Although, today, before we embark upon our noble ascent, we may want to also include extra reserves of character-building patience in our backpack, as a prudent insurance plan. This is because assertive Mars is applying to an opposition to resistant Saturn (1:12 am EDT Wednesday), an aspect that is often akin to having to navigate a seemingly, never-ending obstacle course.

Too, it might be important to keep in mind now that, while the view from the top is usually very fortifying and gratifying for our ego, sometimes just having the willingness and courage to show up and do our best each day, is a gallant victory in itself, regardless of the final outcome. “Try and fail, but don’t fail to try.” Stephen Kaggwa

“The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is wise.” Maya Angelou

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon’s entrance into “industrious” Capricorn (8:22 am EDT) serves to rally our ambitions. Positive lunar aspects to visionary Neptune, assertive Mars and focused Saturn also opens the door for us to get much accomplished today, especially if we have done our due diligence and are crystal clear with our game plan. “A goal without a plan is just a wish.” Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Ann-Margret, astrology april 28 2013, astrology for april 28 2013, freedom, Jay Leno horoscope retiring from Tonight show, Moon in Sagittarius, optimism, responsibilities, Sun opposite Saturn

“In dreams begin responsibilities.” W.B. Yeats

COSMIC WATCH:

We could feel somewhat ‘fenced in’ by our responsibilities today with the Sun opposing “taskmaster” Saturn. However, with the Moon also in “optimistic” Sagittarius, there’s a pretty good chance that we’ll be able to eventually locate, and pass through, the ‘open gate’ to our freedom. Too, remembering that we always have the power to choose our own thoughts, at any moment, can be very liberating for us, especially if we are feeling a little caged now.

Sun-Saturn aspects can also be revelatory in nature, in the sense that we may be made more aware of what it is that we “must do” in order to fulfill our life’s special purpose. Sometimes, this may mean that we either need to ‘dig in our heels’ now and get serious about certain things. In other cases, it may be that we finally realize that we need to let go of something and move on.

Famous Birthdays April 28: Ann-Margret, Jay Leno. “New Year’s Eve, where auld acquaintance be forgot. Unless, of course, those tests come back positive.” Jay Leno. 🙂

Interestingly, Jay Leno has the Sun-Saturn opposition aspect in his solar return chart for, the coming year, and he is poised to leave the Tonight Show in spring of 2014. Sun-Saturn is an aspect that is often at play when we shift careers. Too, when we’re older, it is often a time when we do decide to retire, or at least, cut back on our schedule. Saturn is associated with narrowing or fine-tuning our focus.

Enjoy your Sunday!

“Maybe a person’s world can grow bigger in all the right ways, not too wide that it becomes shallow, just large enough to preserve its depth.” Deb Caletti

COSMIC WATCH:

With the Moon remaining one more day in “mysterious” Scorpio, we are still swimming around in deeper waters. A willingness to probe or examine life’s more complex issues, particularly those matters that may have been hidden or submerged from our view for a while, serves up a rich opportunity to uncover some precious pearls of wisdom now.

With assertive Mars sextiling compassionate Neptune, we additionally have a grand chance to showcase our more angelic side. “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.” Anonymous, Holy Bible: King James Version
