“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, the planet 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 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. George Clooney calling us up, wanting to take us out for a late night sleigh ride. Cool stuff that dreams are magically made of.

“Unfortunately, George, we still have a ton of vacuuming to do. So we’re going to have to decline going out with you, at the moment, on your sexy sleigh. But, George, hang in there. Keep wishing on that Jupiterian star. It could be that, one day, we will finally get caught up with all the cleaning.” 🙂

“Santa Claus has the right idea. Visit people once a year.” Victor Borge.

Astrology Beatles: Paul, John Meet Under “Venus Uranus”

25 Sunday Apr 2010

Three days before Elvis Presley’s second movie ‘Loving You’ debuted in theaters, John Lennon and Paul McCartney met for the first time as teenagers on July 6, 1957.  John had formed a group called ‘The Quarrymen’ and was playing with his band at the Woolten Parish Church Garden Fete when the two were introduced.  Later in 1960, the two men would form the group ‘The Beatles.’

Most of us meet new people all the time in the course of our daily lives. In cases when we have an attraction or fascination with someone, astrologers like to look to the aspects of Venus, the relationship planet, that governs love and attraction.

Venus also represents artistic and musical expression, as well as money and possessions. It also pertains to physical beauty.

In the heavens on the very day that John and Paul met, Venus was exactly conjunct the highly individualistic, freedom-loving Uranus. Both planets were in the creative, entertainment sign of Leo.

I put a lot of stock in the cosmic energy that is around us when we meet people in our lives. I think it sheds important clues as to the karma and destiny of the relationship. Of course, it’s best to have the exact moment when two people meet, so you can cast the full horoscope.

Venus-Uranus aspects are often characterized as “love at first sight.” Uranian energy is electrifying, like a sudden bolt of lightning out of the blue.

Uranus also rules inventors and can denote genius.  Uranus’s ray stirs up original, even radical impulses within us.  The Venus-Uranus relationship may be inclined to break with the norm in many ways, as well as challenge convention.

Later, of course, when John and Paul were with the Beatles’ they would revolutionize the world not only with their music but also with their long hair which was so different than the prevailing styles, but it set them apart and probably greatly added to their success as well as uniqueness.

Venus-Uranus can denote striking looks and charismatic appeal.  Elizabeth Taylor, for example, has Venus exactly conjunct Uranus in her birth horoscope.

In addition to Venus conjunct Uranus in Leo, energetic and pioneering Mars was also closely conjoined with both of them, just three degrees away, on July 6, 1957.  All three were harmoniously and powerfully trine to longevity Saturn in Sagittarius, the sign which rules publishing.

Perhaps the rewarding Saturn trines helped them to later achieve worldly success with the publishing and recording of their unique blend of music, as well as adding a lasting quality to their relationship.

Sometimes Venus Uranus relationships do not endure over time, and while John and Paul did have their ups and downs and were separated from each other, the byproducts of their relationship will always endure in terms of their musical legacy.

Saturn also helps us to focus and discipline ourselves and aligned to the three Leo planets they were able to successfully channel their creativity.

So, in recapping the energy of that fateful day, we see that there was grand opportunity for creative expression (exemplified by Venus) and this creativity would ideally be able to embody originality and even elements of genius (Uranus).

There was also the trailblazing Mars energy suggesting a passion for pioneering something new.  The trines to Saturn made it all come together successfully in the world.

The public reaction later to John and Paul, as part of the Beatles, and the music that they wrote could also be characterized as very Venus-Uranus, in that many of us instantly fell in love with them and their songs.

Mars conjunct Venus, too, can be a romantic influence and probably why Paul and John wrote so many love songs.  Plus the influence gave the pair sex appeal and charisma.

The erratic and more volatile Mars Uranus conjunction also perhaps fueled a rebellious streak in their relationship with each other and this was depicted in their music at times as well.  Mars-Uranus also helped to firmly establish them as trend setters in the world.

It’s interesting, too, that when John and Paul met each other, Elvis Presley, whose music played a big role in their lives, also seemed to be at his prime, in terms of his display of raw talent and creativity.  Pluto, the transformer, was importantly at the end of Leo then.

When a planet gets to the end of the sign, I often think it’s very symbolic and represents the highest or fullest expression of the energy of that sign.  Of course, in this case, Leo rules entertainment and self-expression.  Pluto always has a powerfully regenerating affect on us.  It also rules the masses and affects mass consciousness.

With Pluto at the end of Leo, we not only had Elvis transforming the entertainment world with his original stage performances and riveting music, we also had John and Paul coming together for the first time.  John and Paul would later reshape the music industry, as well as personally change many of us forever in the process.  All three introduced us to new levels of creativity and personal self-expression (Leo) through their art that we had not witnessed before and all had a huge impact on the collective (Pluto). They were all legends. What you would expect with Pluto who likes to debut historic firsts. And he saved the very best for the end of Leo.

March 1st Anniversary Kennedy’s Peace Corps: A Pisces Undertaking

01 Monday Mar 2010

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

““Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” President John F. Kennedy

The late President John F. Kennedy established the Peace Corps on March 1, 1961, when the Sun was passing through the compassionate sign of Pisces which rules our volunteer and charitable impulses.  The Sun was also making an exact trine, a harmonious aspect, to Neptune that day in the transforming sign of Scorpio.

Neptune is the natural ruler of Pisces and, as the higher octave of Venus, represents Divine Love versus Venus’s more personal expression of love.  Neptune also represents the spiritual urge within us.

When the Sun is trine Neptune, which happens twice a year, we are often more inspired to go outside ourselves and do good deeds for others, demonstrate some Divine Love, in other words, particularly for those persons who may not be as fortunate as we ourselves are, who may not have been afforded all the assorted opportunities that we have been granted.  Pisces represents the underdog, disenfranchised groups, persons who are maybe down on their luck or in places of confinement.

Also, the very day that Kennedy created the Peace Corps, lucky Jupiter, which rules travel abroad, was also conjunct ambitious Saturn, in the sign of Capricorn. Capricorn is the sign of the zodiac that rules government.

The Jupiter and Saturn conjunction is generally deemed to be one of the most propitious influences of all in astrology, particularly for undertaking new activities.  Jupiter is the planet that represents the growth principle.  While Saturn represents the safety urge and is traditionally regarded as the preserver of the status quo.

When we have Jupiter and Saturn together in a sign,  it usually means that we are able to positively incorporate balanced growth and change into our world, while simultaneously building upon our previous successes.  In this case, too, the conjunction was taking place in the Capricorn-ruled sign of government, so it was an ideal time to initiate a program that would extend the U.S. government’s reach or influence in a benevolent way outside its geographical borders.

Jupiter is also the embodiment of the goodwill ambassador. His essence is basically good-natured and generous. He is also tied to our philosophical urge and represents teaching, religion, and an overall growing awareness or consciousness of the world around us.  As ruler of inquisitive Sagittarius, Jupiter governs universities, places of higher education, as well as long-distance travel.

The Peace Corps is an American volunteer program that is operated by the U.S. government.  Each Peace Corps volunteer is a U.S. citizen who agrees to work overseas for a certain length of time. Since its inception, over 200,000 Peace Corps volunteers have served in 139 countries, in such areas as AIDS education and environmental preservation.

Daily Astrology Scoop Horoscope February 25, 2010: Smothering Love

25 Thursday Feb 2010

“Love involves a peculiar unfathomable combination of understanding and misunderstanding.” Diane Arbus.

Security issues still rule the roost as the Moon extends its quest for safe-havens in deeply emotional Cancer today. Smothering loved ones with our affection can be an automatic tendency of the Moon’s passage through here. We may want to be mindful of this and perhaps pull back when we see that this is happening. Otherwise, we may run the risk of alienating others.

The cosmic energy pattern this afternoon ET favors wrapping up projects versus initiating new matters, especially as they pertain to the home front and family areas.

When the Moon enters fiery, theatrical Leo at 8:08 pm ET our energy level is inclined to be much more vibrant and dynamic. A powerful alignment with pioneering Mars and a favorable ray to practical Saturn may make the evening hours very productive and fun.

Famous persons born this day: Rudolph Steiner, Tea Leoni, Jim Backus, Elkie Brooks

Peace and love everyone.  Enjoy your day!

Pluto’s Probe in Washington? House Subcommittee Holds Toyota Hearings

23 Tuesday Feb 2010

Posted by in February 2010 Astrology

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

As the illuminating Sun, continues for a second day, its investigatory sextile aspect into Pluto, the Lord and Keeper of all things Hidden and Secret, we are coincidentally learning more about Toyota’s alleged product safety protocol and how the automaker and regulators allegedly handled the crisis with the accelerator problem that has been in the news.  A U.S. House subcommittee is holding a hearing in Washington on the matter and Toyota executives are appearing before that body this week. (Please refer to my earlier blogs this week for more information on the Pluto-Sun influence.)

The timing for the hearing is very fitting, in an astrological sense, as the transiting Moon has been in the sign of Gemini, ruling transportation, for the last two days.  The Sun Pluto aspect, only lasts a couple days or so, in its duration, but often it is very powerful in its alleged consequences.  This influence often coincides with light being shed on matters that were previously hidden or not widely known. Importantly, too, we are not assigning blame here or anything on Toyota, just simply stating the nature of how Pluto “tends” to operate when it’s called into prominence in our lives and circumstances.  We have Sun Pluto sextile aspects like the present one a couple times a year.

Also, keep in mind, nothing is a given and or a certainty with anything in astrology.  Astrology only deals with suggested trends similar to weather forecasting.  You get a set of variables and certain things may happen, but then again, they may not.  Also, the matter of whether the physical planets or heavenly bodies actually directly “cause” anything themselves to happen, is not known.  It could be that there is a mysterious synchronistic link between the heavens and events on earth that cannot be explained or understood.  One thing’s for sure, the heavens have always been a source of fascination for us since the beginning of time.

With that said, the general nature of Pluto tends to be enigmatic and related to matters that are hidden.  Often when it’s ray is activated  in our lives, we hear about, or are privy to finding out about subterfuge and corruption, cover-ups, covert plots. Often secret, hidden forces are detected, captured and or revealed, for one reason or the other.  Pluto rules the underworld and all things subterranean. It also rules the masses.  Sometimes with Pluto, too, we may hear about scientific findings that end up eventually altering or shaping our behavior or changing the composition of how products are later made.  It’s affect is usually long-lasting and transformational.

Pluto is regarded in astrology as the Master Detective and Ultimate Investigator.  Pluto is characterized as always getting to the core of matters.  Its focus is often  intense, unflinching, even obsessive. Sometimes it can even be deadly and violent, as Pluto rules death, as well as rebirth.  Pluto, quite appropriately here, even governs x-rays and x-ray vision.

Meanwhile, whenever the transiting Sun links up with a planet, it will temporarily “light up” or “illuminate” the matters or areas of activity that are governed by the planet receiving the Sun’s ray.  In this case, Pluto is the recipient of the Sun’s focus.

Of course, once again, in the real world, whether the Pluto Sun alignment and the Moon in the transportation sign of Gemini has anything to do with what is going on in Washington with the subcommittee hearing, is only pure conjecture and speculation.  At the same time, it is fascinating, from a humble astrological perspective, to see this hearing simultaneously occurring while Lord Pluto is figured prominently in the sky above.

Daily Astrology Scoop Horoscope, February 21, 2010: Eat Pancakes

An awkward blend of energies lurking around us today.  We start off the day with a stable, slower-paced Taurus Moon, but then at 1:47 pm ET the Moon enters restless, communicative Gemini and we sort of become another entity altogether and are unable to sit still.

My take is for us to chill out and relax while the Moon is in self-indulgent Taurus. Eat pancakes, luxuriate in our surroundings, maybe leisurely commune with nature.  Then when the Moon enters Gemini, we can elevate our level of active participation in the world and communicate with our surroundings.  Gemini is always a grand time for us to focus on any writing or speaking matters. Catch up with all the email, social media interactions. Maybe make those perfunctory calls to our in-laws.

The reflective Sun in Pisces is also in an inconjunct or “adjustment influence” to serious Saturn in partnership Libra. That may call for us to alter or modify our strategy somewhat for our close relationships. We may also have to call upon our faith more to see us through in this area.

Famous persons born on this day: Nina Simone, Erma Bombeck, Anais Nin, Kelsey Grammer.

Extra astrological tidbit for today: Energizing Mars is at 2 degrees of kingly Leo, the sign that rules entertainment.  It was at this same exact spot on 6/18/42. Back on that date, both Beatle Paul McCartney and film critic Roger Ebert were born.

Do you know where your Mars is and what it’s been up to?  It’s important to keep up with that little guy.  He rules our aggressive urge and gets us impassioned to do whatever it is we do in our daily lives.  He also rules another area: our sex drives.  Think of all the elaborate tales he could tell about us to the world in that department if only he could talk!

Peace and love everyone.  Enjoy your day!

Patricia Thompson: Legacy of Venus conjunct Jupiter in Pisces 2010

20 Saturday Feb 2010

The much-awaited, fairy tale betrothal of Love Goddess Venus to Lucky Lord Jupiter in Pisces, this week, did not disappoint. And, while the full legacy of this union may not really be known for years, their magical conjunction in Pisces has already spawned for us a rich testament of different layers of the Piscean experience to sift through and reflect upon.

In astrology, Venus and Jupiter are both considered benefic influences.  Venus, the relationship planet, rules our power of attraction and Jupiter is our expansive urge.  When the two are conjoined together in a sign, there seems to be more of a natural abundance, especially for the specific affairs of the zodiacal sign in which the conjunction occurs in.

Also, due to the intrinsic, expansive nature of Jupiter, the events and persons involved with this planet, often seem to revolve around, or are centered around, colossal deals or big iconic names.  Jupiter never does anything small, especially when it is paired with the powerful attracting principle of Venus.

Prior to this past week, the last time Venus and Jupiter were aligned together in Pisces was in 1998. (Please refer to my earlier blogs this week for more information here.)

Also, to briefly recap here the meaning of Pisces, the sign of the fishes, so as to better understand how this Venus Jupiter conjunction impacts us.  Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac.  It represents a state of our consciousness in which we seek to reflect upon the sum total and importance of all of our previous experiences on the earth plane.

Whereas the other signs are generally about our reaching outwardly into the physical world for our self-expression and personal growth, the Pisces experience is more about submerging ourselves into the discovery of our own inner personal worlds, and focusing our attention on the realm of our spirituality and the matter of our immortality.

In Neptune-ruled Pisces, we develop and channel our own inner creativity and imagination, while simultaneously pondering our link to the Divine.   We become less focused on our own needs and more focused on the needs of the people and the world around us.

Ideally, we start to manifest more of a divine compassion and wisdom. We are more willing and inspired to forgive and forget  transgressions against us, as well as to overlook imperfections in others.  We also become more aware of and focus on our own limitations and shortcomings, and correspondingly seek to find ways to escape from whatever confines or ails us.

Pisces specifically rules the following areas: Creative self-expression, such as films, music, art, dance, poetry, writing; matters pertaining to religion, our spirituality, our confessions and atonement; drugs, as a way to relieve our suffering, as well as purveyors of drugs, including pharmacies; all places of confinement and rehab treatment centers, such as prisons, shelters, and hospitals; all addictions; our dreams, fantasies, and idealism; and, anything to do with the sea and water-related, as Neptune, the ruler of Pisces, rules the sea.

So here’s some of what Venus and Jupiter bequeathed to us in Pisces, this past week, February 15th – 19th, 2010:

Monday and Tuesday: Pope Benedict, the head of the catholic church, holds his unprecedented “sex abuse summit” with Irish bishops.  This event demonstrates the spiritual and rehabilitative nature of Pisces, trying to come to terms with all manner of human flaws, imperfections, and addictions, and the weaknesses and limitations of the flesh, and the matter of atonement.

Tuesday: EMI places Abbey Road Studios in St. John’s Wood, London, up for sale.  Of course, Abbey Road is the famous recording studio all of us baby-boomers in the Western hemisphere know about.  It was where the Beatles, the most significant rock group of all time, as well as other legendary bands like Pink Floyd, recorded their Piscean musical masterpieces in the 60s and 70s.

Tuesday: Queen Mary 2, the largest ocean-liner ever built, another manifestation of the Jupiter oversize principle at work, makes her first port of call in China since her maiden voyage in 2004

Tuesday: Chris Jones’ deeply moving Esquire piece on Roger Ebert, America’s top film critic, about Roger’s heroic and inspiring battle with cancer. What was perhaps most memorable and unforgettable here was the photograph of  the face of Roger Ebert, and how cancer has changed it.  Pisces rules images and photography.  It also rules cancer. Venus and Jupiter in Pisces is wisely and abundantly revealing to all of us here that, while the disease of cancer may have reconfigured Roger’s face to the degree that we no longer physically recognize him, he is really more beautiful than ever, for as we gaze upon Roger’s photo, we know that surely his masterful inner being and soul have triumphed over the ravages of his fragile physical body.

Wednesday: Walgreen Co. the largest drug store chain in the U.S., announced it was buying Duane Reade Holdings Inc. and 257 of its drugstores

Wednesday: PGA Tour announces on Twitter the golfing world’s biggest star, Tiger Woods, would be giving a public statement on Friday

Thursday: U.S. President Barack Obama meets with exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, Dalai Lama at the White House.

Friday: The Super Bowl of Piscean confessions: Tiger Woods delivers his televised apology speech and for 14 minutes, much of the world stood still.

Daily Astrology Scoop Horoscope February 19, 2010:Bill Clinton

“Security is the chief enemy of mortals.” – William Shakespeare.“

The pace slows down with the Moon entering the stabilizing, steady, practical sign of Taurus at 5:55 am ET. Whenever the Moon moves through earthy Taurus, we are looking to anchor or ground ourselves, usually more in a material sense, as this is the sign that rules money, possessions, and those things that we attach value to, that psychologically add to our feeling of safety and sense of personal wealth.  We are less inclined to gamble with our resources, however, we are more inclined to indulge our senses, as this sign is ruled by Venus, which governs our pleasure instincts.

The energy flow is a little more challenging, this mid-morning, as the Moon squares volatile Mars in egocentric Leo, and then makes a tense aspect to anxious Saturn, early this afternoon. The Mars Saturn energies suggest that we may need to keep our egos and tempers contained and our patience in abundance to avoid possible disputes and clashes.

As the afternoon progresses, however, more harmonious influences to transforming Pluto in Capricorn, come into play,  making dealing with matters of our security and possessions much more advantageous. The Moon Pluto aspect is excellent for any of our long-range strategic planning, especially in the realm of business and our careers.

Friday night, our emotions and spirits are generally upbeat and bright, and our desire for self-indulgence and pleasure rises, as the sensual Taurus Moon makes pleasant aspects to lucky Jupiter, and then to relationship Venus.  Our romantic, social and or entertainment plans are given the go-ahead. Our powers of attraction are elevated.

Famous persons born this day: Prince Andrew, Karen Silkwood. Jeffrey Immelt, Andre Breton.

Astrology Unplugged: A few of my astrological footnotes, observations on former President Bill Clinton, Saturn in the first house, Mars conjunct Venus, Britain’s Prince Andrew, and Tiger Woods.

Caught a video clip on one of the TV networks yesterday, believe it was CNN, of former President Bill Clinton casually talking to reporters, in the aftermath of his recent heart procedure last week.  On the clip, he said something to the affect that he was planning on continuing working a full schedule, but that he would try to get more rest, exercise every day, maybe do more work-related tasks by phone.  In other words, it sounded like he was resonating, as expected, to the presence of the planet Saturn on his Ascendant or first house.

Saturn’s ray usually impinges upon our psyches a more serious, sobering outlook. The very nature of Saturn, the ruler of physical form and matter, is about conservation, and the wise use of our resources, especially when it is on our first house, which rules our bodies. Saturn moving through the first house is often a time when many of us are finally able to shed a few pounds due to our increased aptitude for, and willingness to be, more disciplined.  We take our lives and our life purposes much more seriously with Saturn on our Ascendant as we become more aware of our mortality, which Saturn rules.

As I also wrote in my blog last week, Bill Clinton has his birth chart Mars, the energy planet, exactly conjoined his Ascendant, so he tends to have a supercharged, high energy level to begin with.  A reduced schedule for him would probably still include much more in the way of activity than most of us would ever be able to keep up with.

It was also very interesting that the very day that Clinton had the two stents put into his coronary artery, last week, Mars in Leo, in the sky, was in an “adjustment aspect” to Pluto in Capricorn.  Leo is the sign of the zodiac that rules the heart; Mars and Pluto both rule surgery; and Pluto rules regeneration. The insertion of the two stents into his body would symbolically symbolize Pluto.  Capricorn is the sign that also rules world leaders.  Kind of a neat little cosmic tie-in there that I had to slip in.

Additionally, the Mars Pluto aspect that day generated a collective awareness of that heart procedure for the planet, because of Bill Clinton’s specific experience.  I was watching CNN’s Larry King show the same day Clinton had the procedure done last week and Larry also shared that he recently had the same thing done a few weeks earlier.

Bill Clinton also has something in common with today’s birthday boy, England’s Prince Andrew.  They both have  Venus conjunct Mars aspects in their birth chart horoscopes.  Venus rules our love urge and represents our power of attraction while Mars rule our sexual natures.  Normally, when we have those two planets together, we are more popular and likable, especially with the opposite sex.  Clinton’s Venus Mars conjunction is in very sociable Libra, while Prince Andrew’s is in the more disciplined, status-conscious, controlled sign of Capricorn.  Prince Andrew also has a secretive Scorpio Moon inclining him to be more em0tionally guarded.

One last thing.  Today at 11 am ET golfer Tiger Woods will be making his public statement at the PGA tour headquarters in Florida. He reportedly will be making an apology for his behavior  and discussing his future.  I have blogged here about Tiger the last couple days and the fact that he has some excellent astrological influences now in his horoscope for coming before the public.

At the same time, Tiger is also receiving a good measure of criticism now, especially from reporters, because he is reportedly not going to be doing a live press conference today but rather only a press feed.  He will not be answering any reporters’ questions.  As I look at the situation from an astrological perspective, what I see is merely Tiger being Tiger.  From his horoscope, Tiger tends to have a very perfectionist, intense, controlling, and very private nature, due to his Virgo ascendant and Pluto in his first house. Putting forward a controlled image today, versus one of spontaneous expression, fits in perfectly with Tiger’s basic astrological profile and being.

Peace and love.  Enjoy your day!

“I close my eyes in order to see.” – Paul Gauguin

The illuminating Sun enters dreamy Pisces today where it joins its two loving companions, Venus and Jupiter, as well as rebel Uranus. The Sun here shines its’ bright light upon all things mystical and emotional.

In the astrological sign of Pisces, we have reached the end of the zodiac and the archetypal meaning of the sign reflects that fact.  When the Sun enters Neptune’s womb here, it is to embark on a mission that builds upon and transcends all our other previous more mundane experiences. The Sun ruling our identity now seeks expression and fulfillment on a much more deeper, internal level, in the realm of our dreams and in the domain of our souls.

As a result, in Pisces, our idealism is stoked here, as well as our imagination and compassion.  If our daily energies subtlely feel more surreal and sublime now, and our fantasies, appear to be proliferating, we know it is because of our special other-wordly Pisces connection.

The ever-changing Moon, however, continues its outwardly adventurous, more narcissistic quest in fiery Aries today, and isn’t quite ready for us to fully submit ourselves to the guru thing. It doesn’t see the need to meditate on our navels when there are still new worlds to conquer.  So, as usual, we are faced with a bit of a dichotomy here. What else is new?

Famous persons born on this day: John Travolta, Yoko Ono, Toni Morrison, Cybill Shepherd.

Some final daily observational footnotes:

Professional golfer, Tiger Woods, is poised to finally break his silence and make a statement at the PGA Tour headquarters office in Florida at 11 am ET Friday.  He is reportedly going to apologize for his behavior and talk about his future. (Please see my blog that I did yesterday about this topic; I have also written about Tiger’s horoscope in other blogs.)

As I discussed at length in my blog on Tiger yesterday, Tiger has some potentially very favorable healing planetary energies temporarily surrounding him now.  Exact in his birthchart, the transiting Venus, the planet of peace and love,  is sextiling his Sun, which rules his basic essence and ego.

When Venus has us in her loving clutches, we are normally better able to win over our opponents and adversaries and make a better overall impression, as our power of attraction is dialed up a notch. Internally, too, we also just feel more like reaching out to others, as Venus is the relationship planet.  Also with Venus, our internal healing often comes from reaching out to others and having others embrace us back. Also, since Venus is still in her rare betrothal with lucky Jupiter in compassionate Pisces, the world may be more emotionally willing to give Tiger another chance.  We’ll just have to wait and see.

We do hope that Tiger will announce to us that he is ready to get back to playing golf soon.  The Sun, Venus and Jupiter are all spreading their goodwill for him now, in his sixth house of personal health and employment, so maybe that will mean this will be happening soon.

Tiger has had, and still does have, ego-denying Neptune exactly sitting on his sixth house. That long-term Neptune influence can tend to erode our spirits and and eat away at our confidence, if we succumb to it.  Neptune also will be there for several years, in his chart, as it is a slow-moving planet. But, hopefully, in wake of his recent experiences, and time for deep self-reflection, Tiger is ready now to go beyond that darker, more fearful expression of Neptune, and transmute it into something more transcendent for himself.  Neptune is our link to the Divine, where all things are possible, if we just stay focused, and eternally maintain our faith, hope and optimism, and the belief that the best is still yet to come.

Peace and love.  Enjoy your day!

Daily Astrology Scoop Horoscope, February 17, 2010: Pope Benedict

“The important thing is to concentrate upon what you can do – by yourself, upon your own initiative.” Harry Browne

The pioneering, restless Aries Moon inclines us to want to prove ourselves through action today.  With Aries, we are always working out, at some level, issues of our own self-discovery, usually set to some sort of motion.

Energetic Mars in Leo harmonious to focused Saturn in Libra is also available to give us a steady inner discipline and determination to see our affairs through to completion. It also suggests to us that, for us to really get ahead, we would be well-served to inject diplomacy and best business practices into our strategies today, along with a touch of Leo’s personal flair for the dramatic.  The latter element can further help to distinguish ourselves from the pack.

The advantageous, Venus and Jupiter energy, in spiritual Pisces, still hovers protectively around us, to help heal our personal and collective  Chiron wounds.  It can also help to inspire us with a deeper reservoir of hope and faith, if we but go inside ourselves and meditate or pray.

Additionally, Venus and Jupiter beckon to us to be a beacon of hope and a ray of light to others.  We can do this through our expression of caring and the spreading around of selfless good deeds during the course of our day. Lucky Venus and Jupiter always multiplies back to us, many times over, all the good we put forth in the world, especially when they are together in the humanistic sign of Pisces.

Venus and Jupiter are also all about love, abundant love.  So romance continues to get a go ahead today. Too, the Mars in romantic Leo, favorable to Saturn in relationship Libra energy, is also in there rooting for us, in this department, and also maybe lending to us an extra measure of common-sense here.

Famous persons born on this day: Michael Jordan, Paris Hilton, Huey Newton, and Hal Holbrook.

A couple extra astrological footnotes, observations here: On Monday of this week, when protective by nature Venus, in healing Pisces, made an exact favorable sextile aspect to mysterious Pluto in Capricorn,  the Taliban’s top military commander was captured in a joint operation by U.S. and Pakistani forces in Karachi.  Pluto rules hidden, subversive forces, including terrorists. Venus is also conjunct lucky Jupiter now, and Jupiter is also in the very same favorable sextile to Pluto, paving away for both of these propitious planetary energies to act together in an abundant way to ferret out dark secrets and bounty that Pluto has been holding.   Jupiter always acts in a grand manner, too, and it seems a “big fish” has been caught.

Also, under these very same Venus Jupiter influences,  Pope Benedict XVI, on Monday, symbolically represented by Jupiter in Pisces, convened an unprecedented, two-day sex abuse summit with Irish bishops. Jupiter rules religion, Pluto rules hidden sexual abuse, and Pisces rules spirituality and addictions, as well as rehab for addictions.  The Pope picked an ideal time, with Jupiter and Venus in healing Pisces sextile to Pluto, to focus on the sexual abuse issue.  It remains to be seen, however, what will actually come from the summit, in terms of punishment for the offenders and justice for those who may have been abused.

In Pope Benedict’s birthchart horoscope, he also  has his pioneering Aries Sun, which rules his inner essence, exactly trine to his Neptune, which rules spiritualism and our connection to the Divine.  His Neptune is also in dramatic, showy Leo, in his fifth house of self-expression, so as pope, he is playing a role in life that he is ideally suited for.  In addition, he has his religious Jupiter in Pisces exactly on his Ascendant, giving him a natural philosophical and mystical orientation to life, as well as deep, natural healing qualities.  He also has a fair and balanced Libra Moon giving him a natural diplomacy and know-how with dealing with the public.

Additionally, Neptune, the dissolver and ruler of Pisces, is exactly conjunct Chiron, the wounded warrior, now, and that is another influence that gets us to focus on healing our personal and collective wounds.

Peace and love. Enjoy your day.
