Astrology February 11, 2012: Moon is in Libra

Tags

, , , , , ,

COSMIC WATCH:

With the Moon in “balancing” Libra, the sign of the scales, it may be easier for us to weigh our options, or to stand in different perspectives today. That’s one reason why the backdrop of the Libra Moon is normally regarded as favorable for collaboration or mediation, as we are usually better able to glean or entertain opposing viewpoints with it. Too, often by merely playing around with or shifting our perceptions, we may discover that we feel more energy inside of us. We quite literally become charged by the new possibilities. “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” Wayne Dyer. Of course, the Libra Moon can also make us, on the shadow side, a little more indecisive as a result of seeing more choices on our plate, although if we tune in and follow our heart we will know what course to take.

The ruler of the Moon in Libra, sweet Venus, is also harmonious to abundant Jupiter suggesting that pleasure is well within our reach, especially if we reach for what we desire. “Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.” Michael Jordan

February 11 Birthdays: Sarah Palin, Jennifer Aniston, Burt Reynolds (Burt also has a Libra Moon)

What area of your life do you think would benefit from a shift in perspective?

Astrology February 9, 2012: Venus Conjuncts Uranus

Tags

, , , , , , , , ,

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon in “problem-solving” Virgo all day gives us a distinct advantage regarding fixing or correcting whatever is broken or in disarray in our lives. This may extend to a desire to want to tidy up our surroundings by de-cluttering.

Lovable Venus is also conjunct wild, radical Uranus in pioneering Aries today, so the relationship sphere may hold an element of surprise or unpredictability. Sometimes this aspect can also serve as a catalyst for forging sudden, electrifying ties between people. A while back, when I was doing some astrological research, I discovered that Paul McCartney and John Lennon met for the first time on a day when Venus was conjunct Uranus in the entertainment sign of Leo. Uranus also rules change and revolt. No one, of course, knew back then that the seeds for a musical and cultural revolution were being sowed that very day with Venus and Uranus united in the sky.

“A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.” John Lennon

In the News: The Pentagon unveiled plans today that would allow women to serve closer to the front lines of combat in some new roles, including working as an infantry person in a battalion. This story is fascinating from an astrological perspective as we have the Venus-Uranus conjunction today exact in Aries, the sign of the military. Venus also governs women and Uranus is the planet of change and equality.

Astrology February 8, 2012: Venus Enters Aries

Tags

, , , , , ,

COSMIC WATCH:

With “love goddess” Venus moving into “direct” Aries, we are more confident in our ability to get on base with our desires. That confidence boost, in turn, helps to yield even more passion and enthusiasm for what we want, sort of like what occurs when we stoke a fire. Too, what usually helps us to ultimately score a home run, especially when Venus is here in the “me-first” sign of the zodiac, is being able to display a genuine willingness to help others get their needs met as well, so they know that we are not soley interested in furthering our own agenda, which can sometimes be a shadow manifestation of Venus in Aries. Also, relationship experts tell us that one of the key ingredients that all relationships need to thrive, long-term, is a spirit of reciprocity, or give and take. “A bit of fragrance always clings to the hand that gives roses.” Chinese Proverb

The Moon’s entrance into “meticulous” Virgo today (12:33 pm EST) also provides us with the resourcefulness and thoroughness to successfully attend to whatever is on our plate. It also seems that a part of self-mastery is an ability to fully immerse ourselves into the minutia. “A man’s accomplishments in life are the cumulative effect of his attention to detail.” John Foster Dulles

February 8 Birthdays: Nick Nolte, Lana Turner, James Dean

Famous Persons with Venus in Aries: Mariah Carey, George Clooney, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor

Today’s Affirmation: My heart’s desires are always fulfilled when I choose to put others first.

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Astrology February 5, 2012: Cancer Moon’s Sentimental Journey

Tags

, , , , , , ,

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon’s passage through “sentimental” Cancer poises us to want to revisit our nostalgic roots. Optimally, to peruse the preceding pages of our biography with the soulful intent of extracting a few takeaway jewels that can add golden wisdom and meaning for where we are now along our current path.

Perhaps we can recall a time period, for instance, in which we were able to rise above a host of obstacles by applying determination and persistence.

Or maybe we can remember when we quit a self-sabotaging habit.

Writer Robert Brault offers this terrific insight about the past: “Looking back you realize that a very special person passed briefly through your life – and it was you. It is not too late to find that person again.”   

The “reflective” Cancer Moon also sextiles “initiator” Mars in disciplined Virgo (6:02 pm) suggesting that we are fully capable of taking actions now that build upon and support our earlier successes.

“The world is more malleable than you think and it’s waiting for you to hammer it into shape.” – Bono

What would you like to “hammer away at” today?

Today’s Affirmation: I choose to flow contently with the river of life, knowing that wherever it takes me is where I’m supposed to be. I also lovingly honor my past, as it has helped to artfully shape me into the person that I am proud to be today.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Astrology February 2, 2012: Moon in Gemini

Tags

, , , , ,

COSMIC WATCH:

While we all desire certainty in our lives, to some degree, with the Moon in inquisitive Gemini now we are also attracted to the world of the unknown, analogous perhaps to periodically wanting to visit a new vacation site to stretch our experiences. Too, when we journey to new places, we often have a sense of wonderment and excitement about our surroundings, which can be very invigorating for us. So, courting a sense of adventure, and being open to surprises, may be especially what we want to strive for today with the Moon in the sign of the curious twins.

Gemini is also a very interactive sign and with the Gemini Moon making harmonious aspects to both the Sun and Mercury we have ideal energy for stimulating conversation, along with taking action to expand our circle of influential acquaintances. “The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships.” Anthony Robbins

February 2 Birthdays: James Joyce, Ayn Rand, Farrah Fawcett, Liz Smith

Today’s Affirmation: My life is unfolding in ways that are new and exciting. I welcome life’s rich surprises.

Astrology February 1, 2012: Venus Opposes Mars

Tags

, , , , , ,

COSMIC WATCH:

Our passions are stoked as love goddess, Venus, opposes desire lord, Mars. By demonstrating unselfish giving and caring, we also help to ensure that our beloved’s needs will be tenderly met. Too, what is often a potent elixir for bridging any relationship gaps is bestowal of a warm smile, coupled with an abundance of heartfelt listening. “Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. The friends who listen to us are the ones we move toward. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand.” Dr. Karl Augustus Menninger

The Moon also leaves Taurus for “curious, lighthearted” Gemini (2:14 pm EST), aligning us with a bevy of bright ideas over the next two days. Also, instilling within us a hearty appetite for fun and frolic. “We don’t stop playing because we turn old, but turn old because we stop playing.” Unknown source.

February 1 Birthdays: Lisa Marie Presley, Princess Stephanie of Monaco

Today’s Affirmation:  I am engulfed with a passion for living and giving. I am eager to share what is in my heart.

Astrology January 31, 2012: The Steady Taurus Moon

Tags

, , , , , ,

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon continues in “slow, steady” Taurus, an excellent vibrational energy for keeping us grounded.  We tend to thrive now by choosing to focus our attention on doing just one thing at a time versus trying to multi-task, which usually ends up only reducing our performance-level. The Moon is also making positive aspects to cosmic lovers, Venus and Mars, tonight, a compelling reason to turn the lights down low. 🙂

“A heart that loves is always young.” Greek Proverb

What is “something extra” that you could bring to your relationships today to “spice them up?”

January 31 Birthdays: Justin Timberlake, Norman Mailer, Carol Channing, Franz Schubert

Today’s Affirmation:  “I am choosing to be intentional with my time, and only thinking about what I can do in the present moment.”

Enjoy your Tuesday!

Astrology January 28, 2012: Mercury Aspects Uranus and Jupiter

Tags

, , , , , , ,

COSMIC WATCH:

We are excited about starting something new now with the Moon moving through “pioneering” Aries. Intellectual Mercury’s sextile to “radical, innovative” Uranus is also a boon for shifting our perspective and helping us arrive at new solutions. Too, Mercury is square to “expansive, philosophical” Jupiter, allowing us to take a broader view of things, although we may need to pay close attention to the details or fine print and avoid embellishing the facts.

“If you add to the truth, you subtract from it.” The Talmud

January 28 Birthdays: Nicolas Sarkozy, Alan Alda, Rick Warren

Today’s Affirmation: My world is pregnant with exciting possibilities. New doors are opening all around me.

Astrology January 27, 2012: Mercury Squares Saturn, Mercury Enters Aquarius

Tags

, , , , , , , ,

COSMIC WATCH:

Mental Mercury, at the end of pragmatic Capricorn, squares cautious Saturn this morning before shifting into curious Aquarius later today. While Mercury-Saturn can add seriousness and depth of focus to our perceptions, it is an aspect that is often linked with more fear-based thinking and skepticism.

One way to turn Mercury-Saturn into a possible “win-win” situation for us may be to ask ourselves, what are our fears or more rigid views on matters trying to teach us now about ourselves that we may be able to flip/transmute into something that is more positive or empowering?

That said, Mercury’s shift into airy Aquarius (1:12 pm) – where it will stay until February 14 – may make it easier for us to cop a more detached mindset in which our options can be viewed more neutrally.

Luna also will be leaving Pisces for initiating Aries this afternoon (1:29 pm), potentially priming us for action and adventure.

Astrology January 26 2012: Gone Fishin’ Pisces Moon

Tags

, , , , , , ,

COSMIC WATCH:

With the Moon still rippling through “fantasy” Pisces, we are encouraged to fish the waters of our creative imagination. Too, the Moon’s early morning conjunction with tender mermaid Venus (8:13 am EST) could just be the “catch of the day.” Moon-Venus often helps us attract the love that we desire as a byproduct of becoming more sensitized to the needs of others.

“For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.” Carl Sagan

January 26 Birthdays: Eartha Kitt, Paul Newman.

Today’s Affirmation: I go fishing today for what is on my “wish list,” knowing full well that the fish are gonna’ bite.

What would be a “big catch” for you today?
