Cosmic Weather:
As if we didn’t already have enough to worry about today with holiday gift returns and all. Now we have to add “boogeyman” Pluto, ruler of the underworld, to the mix via the Sun’s conjunction to Pluto in skeletal Capricorn.
With Sun-Pluto aspects there’s sometimes a tendency to look on the dark side of things or to overplay our fears. Pluto is thought to symbolize what is buried deep within our psychological caves.
Too, Sun-Pluto can also even bring out real-life spies clutching walkie-talkies and wearing trenchcoats!
“When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions.” – William Shakespeare.
On the plus side, however, Sun-Pluto can also be enlightening and transforming and can result in amazing turnaround successes.

Cosmic Weather:
Early Christmas Day there’s a colorful Leo the Lion Moon and gift wrap and ribbon could be flying all over the place in a dashing race to open up our gifts and see what Santa’s left us under the tree.
When the Moon enters practical Virgo (10:15 am), the cosmic energy/atmosphere around us likely becomes more manageable.
Later, the Moon’s harmonious trines to both the warming Sun (4:57 pm) and transforming Pluto (6:49 pm) may help to foster deep feelings of contentment as well as potentially serve to strengthen our precious ties with loved ones.
Christmas Blessings to all who celebrate the joy of this magical day and best wishes to everyone for a glorious, prosperous New Year.

Cosmic Weather:
The stars are shining bright for that annual visit from Santa tonight! The Moon is in generous Leo and trine communicator Mercury in optimistic Sagittarius (8:45 pm). We may also want to hang some bigger stockings by the chimney as there’s a chance that Santa may be reaching deeper into his pockets this year. The Leo Moon typically likes to splurge. 🙂

“A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.” Charlie Chaplin
Couldn’t let this day pass without mentioning that December 23rd is the 37th anniversary of television’s, The Young and The Restless, which debuted back in 1973, and is still going strong.
Today, we’re also checking out some of the cosmic energy of that day, to see why maybe that show has endured for so long. And why it was perhaps able to “hook us” in the first place.
Mackenzie: “What does this mean – “wedding vows”‘?
J.T.: “Oh, Brittany wants me to help write hers.”
Mackenzie: “She wants you to help her?”
J.T.: “What, you didn’t think Bobby knew how to read or write?”
Mackenzie: “That’s mean.”
J.T.: “Yeah, it’s not far from the truth. But don’t worry. I’m sure he’ll hire whoever writes those flyers for the strip club. It’ll be like the raunchiest vows ever, and I’m sure the minister will probably pass out.”
(From The Young And The Restless)
On December 23, 1973, when The Young and The Restless debuted, Venus, the mythological “Goddess of Love,” was exactly sextile “Fantasy” Neptune, the planet which also rules the television camera. Venus was in friendly, freedom-loving Aquarius. Aquarius is also a sign known for broadcasting and technology. Neptune was in wanderlust Sagittarius, a sign that is additionally very good at spinning imaginative tales and story lines. (The emotional Moon was also in “alibi” Sag that day.) The sextile is normally regarded as a more harmonious aspect of “opportunity.”
Venus-Neptune aspects tend to coincide with a mindset in which we are much more willing, and really wanting, to believe in “fairy tales” (escapist soap opera plots). We are also more inclined to want to search out an “ideal love.” No matter that the object of our desires may be “imaginary,” or otherwise “off limits” to us. Perhaps a hunky character on a soap opera?
Most of us have had imaginary lovers, at some point, in our lives. Wild fantasies about persons “unavailable” to us? George Clooney, of course, immediately comes to mind here. However, we existentially do know, in this particular case, that this “Clooney pipe dream,” may actually some day still come to pass. It could be that it just takes many more earthly incarnations to materialize. But, it’s okay. We have the time. Rome wasn’t built overnight. Great things take time and careful planning. And, sometimes, a lot of fervent prayer. Along with daily visualization, meditation, and fasting. Occasionally we have to strike back-alley deals, too, with questionable saints, in order to get our needs met. (Would you believe, Neptune also rules saints and gurus, priestly-type figures? This is true.)
That is how Venus-Neptune tends to operate. It seldom ever “surrenders the dream.” Rarely quits on the “romantic illusion.” It will go to unbelievable measures to secure or retain its fantasy. Interesting to note here that Neptune also rules our “addictions.” Neptune, coincidentally, additionally depicts “real-life people” who are employed as actors, or other persons professionally engaged in careers that stoke our imagination, such as poets, dancers, and artists. So, we had more of a proclivity to “fall for” the “make-believe” characters in the show, with the program debuting when it did.
Neptune is also our magical “link to the divine” and whispers to us of having a “divine compassion” for all. Venus-Neptune can be highly compassionate. But, on the flip side, there is also the proclivity to “play martyr or victim.” Elements, too, that work very well in television-based soap operas.
Too, love maven Venus was in a tight harmonious trine to transforming, controlling Pluto in Libra when this show premiered. With Venus-Pluto, we usually fully experience all the highs and lows of romantic drama. The compulsiveness, the obsessions, the deepest of passions. Venus was also applying to a conjunction with expander Jupiter in Aquarius, considered to be one of the most romantic and fortuitous aspects of all, as Jupiter grows whatever it is paired with and aligned with romantic Venus, our love and affection knows no bounds. The Young and The Restless characters will also never run out of people to have “real or imagined” affairs with.
Lastly, Virile Mars, ruling sex and our physical desires, was also deposited in impetuous Aries ( the sign that it rules) at 29 degrees, the very last degree of the sign. Making the young, “very restless.” And, ever more reason to watch them on TV.

Cosmic Weather:
Moon vacates familial Cancer to assume a seat on the throne in proud Leo (7:51 am). Accordingly, we may be in need of some elevation and adulation in our own daily lives now.
The authoritative Leo Moon typically likes to be in charge and with a quincunx aspect to “Darth Vader” Pluto in Capricorn (4:21 pm) power struggles could ensue unless there’s a spirit of compromise or cooperation included in the mix.
Activities highlighted today: acting, directing, entertaining, throwing parties, events with children, event-planning, shopping for gold jewelry.

Cosmic Watch:
The life-generating Sun, which signifies our core and sense of purpose, enters the tenth zodiacal sign of Capricorn the Goat on December 21, 2010 (6:39 pm), where it will remain until January 20, 2011.
Saturn-ruled Capricorn perennially symbolizes the “nose to the grindstone” experience, the 9 to 5 “punch a clock” world, with all of its drama and politics. And also, all of its “golden opportunity.”

Cosmic Weather:
“Loose lips could do more than sink ships today as Luna returns to blabbermouth Gemini and Mercury, Gemini’s ruler, has retrograded back into preachy Sagittarius and is exactly conjunct the powerhouse Sun!
Potentially, we may be more zealous about our beliefs now, and each of us likely has a long-winded sermon on the mount, ready to go, that we can’t wait to deliver today!

Cosmic Weather:
The empowering Sun in adventurous Sagittarius forms an exact square to high-voltage Uranus in Pisces (1:48 pm EST) – potentially throwing us a curve ball or two to keep us on our toes! Uranus symbolizes change and encourages us to break out of our predictable molds.
We likely progress now by going with the flow and not staging heavy resistance to whatever may be coming down the pike.
Meanwhile, the Moon is in money-minded Taurus during the day, then switches to chatty Gemini (10:38 pm EST). Setting the stage for the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Gemini on Dec. 21st.

News Update 12/18: With the Sun in politically minded Sagittarius and exactly square to change-agent Uranus – which is thought to symbolize equality issues – the U.S. Senate has gone ahead and voted today to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” by a vote of 65 to 31.
The Senate has now sent the bill to President Obama, who had campaigned on ending the DADT policy, which banned gays from openly serving in the military. Some may say that the Senate through a “big curve ball” today. Definitely an historic day in America. (NYTimes.com)

“You know you’re getting old, when Santa starts looking younger.” Robert Paul
Ho, ho, ho! The optimistic Sun in goodwill Sagittarius is energetically square jolly Jupiter in fantasy Pisces today (Dec. 16th at 4:47 pm EST). Too, due to Jupiter’s intrinsically generous, warm-hearted nature, Jupiter symbolizes “the Santa spirit” in astrology.
Sun square Jupiter is often a time when we are characteristically wanting to be a little more giving and generous to others with our time, talent, and bundle of resources. Not a bad thing at all!
The only pitfall here: We must be careful not to over-promise, or over-commit ourselves. We need to avoid excesses altogether. No easy task, as we are feeling much more revved up about our abilities and capabilities now. We also have our inspired eyes on the “bigger picture.” Our hope and faith are merrily a twinkle.
Also, we are wanting so much to wholeheartedly believe in the good in other people now, and in fairy-tale endings. Finally meeting the prince after kissing way too many frogs. “Santa Claus Oprah” putting a trip to Australia in our holiday stocking, too, along with keys to a new car.
