Astrology October 22, 2011: Moon Enters Orderly Virgo

COSMIC  WATCH:

The Moon’s monthly shift into organizing and purifying Virgo (10:42 am EDT) is our merry little cue to put more order and cleanliness in our lives. Refurbishing or renovating projects are also encouraged with the Virgo Moon’s magical trine to transforming Pluto (7:28 pm EDT) in goal-oriented Capricorn. Moon-Pluto is potentially very healing energy as well. Also, it is outstanding for arriving at sudden, emotional breakthroughs, partly because Pluto aligns us with our subconscious side. Later, the Moon’s harmonious trine to expansive Jupiter, in self-indulgent Taurus (8:56 pm EDT), gives us a green light to engage in all manner of self-pampering. This influence can also help to put us in a more jovial, lighthearted mood.

One possible storm cloud on the horizon today: Lovable Venus in passionate Scorpio is forming a 135-degree linkup with free-spirited Uranus in spontaneous Aries. Venus-Uranus often equates with our wanting to do our own thing, regardless of the costs. Of course, engaging in that type of behavior always carries corresponding risks. This influence can also incline us to seek out more unusual recreational or social outlets, perhaps as a sure flight from boredom.

Astrology October 21, 2011: Sun Trines Neptune

21 Friday Oct 2011

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon remains in colorful, self-expressive Leo encouraging us to render our indelible performances with extra flair and drama today, as Leo is the official sign of entertainment and showmanship. The Moon’s monthly conjunction with self-assertive Mars (4:13 pm EDT) also bodes well for boosting our self-confidence, while simultaneously encouraging us to take bold, empowering action. We also have a chance to steady or stabilize our relationships in wake of the Leo Moon’s sextile to anchoring Saturn in partnership Libra (7:38 pm EDT).

There is a very magical, mystical quality to today’s energy as the idealistic Libra Sun is forming a fortuitous trine to ethereal Neptune in futuristic Aquarius. Neptune archetypically represents our urge for spirituality, with its otherworldy orb of influence perennially helping to supply us with a keen fascination for all that is mystifying or elusive. Its activated ray also serving to dissolve the stubborn illusion of separateness between all beings or creatures of the earth. Accordingly, Sun-Neptune can help to heighten our sensitivity to others and inspire us to display more of our humanistic or compassionate impulses.  It is potentially a great day for engaging in charitable works or for demonstrating random acts of kindness.

Also, with Neptune governing our imagination and powers of visualization, it could be that our creativity is peaking today, especially with the Moon also deposited in theatrical Leo. We may additionally want to pay closer attention to our hunches and nocturnal dreams, as Neptune’s inspiring influence can make us more prophetic and visionary, as we are, theoretically, better able to tune into the realm of divine consciousness now.

COSMIC WATCH:

Passions may surge today with sweet Venus’s sextile to intense Pluto. This is also a good aspect for healing or rehabilitating a relationship, due to the regenerative nature of Pluto. We do also tend to be in more of a commitment mode as the Sun is making its annual conjunction to dutiful, serious Saturn, in relationship Libra, formidably reminding us of our responsibilities and obligations.  Sun-Saturn also helps to align our consciousness with our long-term goals or intentions for ourselves.

Intellectual Mercury additionally enters probing Scorpio today, providing more depth of focus and investigative flair to our reasoning ability. Our words may be a bit more measured now with Mercury here. On the shadow side, there can also be more of a propensity for biting sarcasm, especially when we are feeling threatened. Mercury will stay in Scorpio until November 2.

The Moon will be in practical Taurus all day, the money sign. It will also be forming its monthly conjunction to expansive Jupiter (12:25 pm EDT), which may trigger some new opportunities for increasing our net worth and or sphere of influence in the material realm. The Venus sextile Pluto aspect may also help to put a little more jingle in our pocket, as Venus governs money and possessions, as the natural ruler of Taurus. It may be an especially good day to seek out financial and or investment advice, as Pluto’s ray is very good for adding extra insight. Pluto also symbolizes mega-wealth and governs debt and credit matters.

COSMIC WATCH:

Even though the Moon remains in self-assertive Aries, during the daytime, there is also a dreamy aspect to the energy today as mental Mercury trines imaginative Neptune, our formal portal to unseen worlds and mystifying experiences. Also the Moon herself is making a sextile to Neptune (6:14 pm EDT). Neptune’s prominence can help to make us more conciliatory and forgiving, more willing to overlook transgressions and flaws, as Neptune governs both our sense of compassion and our spiritual inklings. This planet characteristically poises us to want to see the best in others, which can, of course, also translate into our being a little more vulnerable now.

This is also a great day to be creative with words (Mercury) and our overall self-expression. Many artists, performers, songwriters, painters, and poets, have Neptune strong in their charts. For example, former Beatle, Paul McCartney, was born with Neptune exactly conjunct his Ascendant. Elvis Presley had Neptune near his Midheaven (career house).

Later, Luna shifts into earthy Taurus (9:35 pm EDT). Correspondingly, that is also the time when we must sadly descend from the Neptunian clouds and bid our fond adieu to the heavenly angels, who were nice enough to take us under their cocooning wings for a while to offer us some measure of safe harbour and uplifting refuge from our mundane, everyday lives.

“The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.” George Eliot

Astrology October 11, 2011: Full Moon in Aries

11 Tuesday Oct 2011

COSMIC WATCH:

There’s a potent Full Moon in “self-discovery” Aries tonight (10:06 pm EDT), activating 18 degrees of the sign. Full Moons present us with a chance for “full illumination.” They are a time when previously hidden or concealed elements suddenly get a chance to vividly parade before our conscious awareness in full, panoramic view. Deep insights can accordingly be gleaned in this manifestation/disclosure process. Sometimes, these revelations can even be a bit shocking, when ghostly skeletons suddenly emerge from secret, dark closets, imploring us to fully resuscitate them, and give them captive audience, a final time.

Too, there is often a keen desire to want to act quickly on whatever has been presented to us on our mind’s silvery screen during a Full Moon lunation.  Although, it is often wise to let these new epiphanies gel for a few days, before putting their legacy into motion.

A Full Moon occurs when the Moon is exactly opposite the Sun. In this case, the Sun is now passing through balancing Libra, the diplomatic sign of “the other.”  This Full Moon is spotlighting, therefore, the need for independent self-action and self-promotion (Aries)  vs. the need for partnering up (Libra). Ideally, we will want to strive for some sort of harmonious balance now between these two realms. Too, with the Libra Sun applying to a one-degree conjunction with taskmaster Saturn, it is highly unlikely that we will be able to escape our duties or obligations to others now, and go it alone, as Aries is naturally poised to do, since Saturn represents our scope of commitments and earthly karma.

Because serious Saturn also archetypically symbolizes our worries and fears, and sense of loss or limitation, it is possible now that with this Full Moon we will be made more aware of the shadow side of our nature, and as a result, hopefully be given clarity regarding what steps we can take to help assuage or rise above it. Of course, often this healing or ascension process begins by simply facing or acknowledging that there is, indeed, a bedeviled valley within us, a more complex region full of overgrown weeds and broken dreams, that is also very rich fodder for self-growth, and divine wisdom and understanding, once we come to fully embrace it, and own it, and willingly till its soil under the majestic moonlight. Let the spooky skeletons know that we are not afraid of them one bit, so that they may rest in peace. Too, the Aries Full Moon always delights in a good conquest and show of bravado, even if it is with our own inner demons.

“Nothing in the universe can travel at the speed of light, they say, forgetful of the shadow’s speed.” Howard Nemerov

Full Moon in Aries activities: forging ahead with new, personal pet projects, doing something courageous or daring, taking risks, pioneering, taking bold stances, assuming new challenges, reveling in spontaneity, involvement in sports or athletics, hunting, automobile racing.

Happy Full Moon Blessings!

Astrology October 10, 2011: Venus Quinqunx Uranus

10 Monday Oct 2011

, , , , , , ,

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon’s shift into adventurous Aries (8:57 am EDT) favors exploring new worlds, starting new projects, adopting new strategies.  We may need to be careful, though, that we don’t act too impulsively without considering the full consequences of our behavior, as the Moon is making its monthly conjunction with rebellious Uranus (12:58 pm EDT), which can invoke quirkier, more erratic reactions from us.

Romantic Venus, newly deposited in passionate Scorpio, is also forming a quinqunx to wild card Uranus today. This aspect can spawn a craving for more excitement and independence in our relationships and social life, although it can be a destabilizing factor, if we venture too far down the indiscretion pathway.  This alignment can also find us forging ties with types we normally would not be attracted to. Of course, Luna is also leading up to its more volatile, Full Moon phase, late tomorrow (10:06 pm EDT). Full Moons tend to magnify our emotions and moods, especially in spontaneous-acting Aries.

This evening, the Moon’s square to controlling Pluto in authoritative Capricorn (7:06 pm EDT) can place some formidable roadblocks across our trail. However, in lieu of issuing ultimatums or dictates, we may find that by simply altering or recalibrating our responses, in a cooperative way, we still may be able to deftly spread our sphere of worldly influence and magically grow our kingdoms. Moon-Pluto is also an excellent time for purging or phasing out matters, with Pluto governing the process of elimination.

Enjoy your Monday!

Astrology October 5, 2011: Aquarius Moon Sextiles Uranus

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon exits “traditionalist” Capricorn for “anything goes” Aquarius (11:19 am EDT), encouraging us to fashion more spontaneous, original responses to our environment. This is especially the case when the Moon sextiles Uranus, the innovative ruler of Aquarius (3:27 pm EDT), which is deposited in pioneering Aries. Rolling out new methodologies, cultivating new approaches or strategies, engaging in brainstorming, are all suggested entrees on today’s cosmic menu.

Aquarius is also the sign of humanitarian interests and group involvement, making today favorable for immersion in any activities or causes that have the net impact of collectively lifting all of us up.  Later, the Moon’s semi-sextile to healing Pluto (8:46 pm EDT) indicates the evening hours hold a fair measure of regenerative potential. Perhaps a good time then to get in touch with our deeper motivations or feelings, with Pluto symbolizing here, the gateway to the subconscious realm.

“The regeneration of society is the regeneration of society by individual
education.” Jean de la Bruyere.

Political News:  Republican Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey made it official yesterday at a press conference that he will not be running for U.S. President in 2012, citing that “now is not my time.” He also said that he wanted to honor his commitment to the people of New Jersey. Interestingly, at the time of his announcement on Tuesday, the Capricorn Moon, which is associated with one’s professional ambitions or aspirations, and also one’s sense of duty and responsibility, was applying to a potent square to “declining” Saturn in Libra, the sign of the public.  As I mentioned in my blog yesterday, Moon square Saturn energy tends to be more restrictive in nature, and we often tend to erect barriers with others under this influence. Governor Christie opting here, in this case, to say “no” to the party members (Libra) urging him to run. Also, apparently “feeling duty-bound” (Saturn) to the people of his state. Saturn governs our commitments to others.

Enjoy your Wednesday!

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon is in practical, utilitarian Capricorn all day empowering us to “get it done.” Perhaps a good day for rolling up our shirt sleeves and tackling all those mundane projects that we have been putting off. The focused Capricorn Moon helps to endow us with more of a sense of duty and discipline. It can also serve to rocket our ambitions.

The Moon’s square to limiting Saturn in balancing Libra (2:53 pm EDT) may also find us wanting to discard whatever is non-essential in our lives. Although we may find that tossing aside or shrugging off aspects on the relationship front could get a little messy or complicated. We may want to strive for cooperation and understanding instead.  We may also need to detach from our sensitivities and not take any criticism to heart. Or, for that matter, not dish any out. The Moon-Saturn energy tends to be more separatist in nature and can find us defensively erecting boundaries in a bid to wall others out. Sometimes we can do this, too, in the guise of biting or hurtful remarks.

Astrology October 3, 2011: Mars Squares Jupiter

03 Monday Oct 2011

, , , , , , , , ,

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon shifts from adventurous Sagittarius into controlled, responsible Capricorn (4:16 am EDT) although we still may be a little “over the top” today, as we have energizer Mars in ostentatious Leo forming a square to excessive Jupiter (the ruler of Sagittarius) in self-indulgent Taurus. Mars-Jupiter aspects tend to correlate with our going overboard. Or, wanting to do things on a lavish scale. Fascinatingly, Jupiter is also associated with royalty and when we had both Mars and Jupiter exactly conjunct in Aries, last spring, is when we had the elaborate Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Historically, Mars-Jupiter aspects are also linked with fanaticism or overzealous behavior, as we can become much more impassioned (Mars) about our beliefs or philosophy of life (Jupiter) with this influence.  Of course, with Mars ruling the aggressive urge, there is also the potential for our “martial impulses” to get out of hand, especially with the more frictional square alignment. Accordingly, it may be wise to keep ourselves on a fairly short leash today and to make a point to remember, and to display, our Libra manners.

Another complicating factor today is mental Mercury is also forming a 135-degree link to psychedelic Neptune which can blur or skew our thought processes.  The best advisory here may be to go with what is most logical for us to do and to avoid, altogether, the “wishful thinking” zone.

Astrology September 27, 2011: New Moon in Libra

27 Tuesday Sep 2011

COSMIC WATCH:

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

Today’s New Moon in partnership Libra, the sign of the scales (7:10 am EDT), affords us a perfect chance to grow or expand our relationships. Or, to maybe tweak or fine tune them.  Some of us may even be weighing some major revamping or restructuring in this area as the New Moon is opposing dynamic, change agent Uranus and also squaring transforming, insightful Pluto, two heavy hitters with some legacy for notably reshaping the playing field around us.

Justice seeking Libra, as a quality of experience, naturally aims to balance or harmonize  matters. But, with the Sun, Moon and also thinker Mercury now closely aligned with these two outer planets in an energizing, groundbreaking, cardinal T-square, we may discover that we have to crisscross some unfamiliar terrain now, perhaps connect with some new people, for instance, if we are going to move forward.  In the whole process, the Libra “juggling act,” could get pretty complicated and require advanced skills to keep all the diplomatic balls in the air.

The New Moon is also getting favorable assist from galvanizing Mars in proud, authoritative Leo the Lion. This should help to cloak us in a robe of self-confidence and give us the courage to make the bold moves that may be required of us so that we can evolve and go to the next level. Too, changes that we initiate now may have ramifications for our careers, as altering Pluto is in professional, corporate-minded Capricorn. Along a similar vein, some relationship changes now may be a direct result of career pressures or concerns that we are feeling.

Also with this New Moon, Libra’ s ruler, Venus, which governs love, money and values, and our power of attraction,  is applying to a conjunction with stabilizing Saturn, a planet that is exalted in Libra. This suggests that whatever we do put into place now will have very solid underpinnings and will likely last. Venus-Saturn is a quality of energy that is very loyal and enduring. Too, the house that the new Moon falls in, in our personal horoscopes, is the specific area of life in which we may be laying a new relationship foundation. Or, at the very least, focusing on relationships tied to that sector. Each house in the horoscope governs a department of life.

Moon in Libra activities: Dating, socializing and meeting new people, entertaining or hosting parties, attending cultural events, shopping for items of beauty or adornment, undergoing beauty treatments, redecorating, seeking justice.

New Moon blessings to you. Enjoy your Tuesday!
