Cosmic Weather:

A warm, amiable Sun-Venus conjunction in creative Leo (ideally) magnifies our wants and desires, our popularity, our artistic expression, our orientation towards cooperation, love, harmony, and celebration. This is a very lovely influence that can really make us want to beautify our life, our appearance, our surroundings. Natally, when people have Sun conjunct Venus in their charts, they’re usually very adept at being able to smooth things over, to make connections with others. Occurring in Leo, too, there can be quite a bit of flair for fashion, for drama or the theatrical, for attracting attention to ourselves in a potent, charming, or charismatic way.

On the flip side, however, this same Sun-Venus conjunction also forms an awkward quinqunx to investigative Pluto in “no-frills” (Saturn-ruled) Capricorn, which could potentially serve to temporarily arouse our suspicions or find us probing deeper into the shadows, looking for what may be broken, disturbed, or, seemingly, just “not quite right,” below the surface. This is not necessarily a bad thing – maybe more like performing a maintenance check or a diagnostic on our system after sensing something might be a bit off.

The waxing Moon is also in emotionally detached Aquarius today, which can help us to see things in a more intellectual light. This position for Luna can also incline us to be more experimental or non-conforming in our approach to matters. Sometimes, too, with Luna here we’re more willing to espouse or rally behind social or humanitarian causes.

Too, since we have a Full Moon in Aquarius tomorrow, we may really be getting a strong sense of things building up or culminating now. Full Moons tend to supply us with more illumination, or greater awareness. Occurring in Aquarius, too, perhaps we’re trying to figure out now our unique, special place in the world (Sun in Leo), where we can really shine but also, at the same time, give back something meaningful to the collective (Moon in Aquarius).

Numerologically, the day (8-14-2019) reduces down to a 5 (Mercury-ruled) and 7 (Neptune-ruled), so we do have a pronounced “changeability” or “back and forth” vibe going on, and a boost of mental stimulation. But, also a strong desire for dreams and inspiration.

“And I am all the things I have ever loved: scuppernong wine, cool baptisms in silent water, dream books and number playing.” Toni Morrison

On This Day in History: On August 14, 1965, Sonny and Cher’s “I Got You Babe” hits #1.

Hope it’s a good one!

Today’s Astrology July 24, 2019: Mercury Rx Conjuncts Venus

Cosmic Weather:

We start out our Wednesday – the 205th day of the year – with Waning Luna (governing our feelings and emotions) wrapping up her stay in fast-acting Aries, perhaps generating more of a general restlessness within us and also more of a tendency towards impulsivity as we are more inclined now to directly act upon our emotions. (The Moon will be void from 10:47 am to 5:42 pm, at which time it will enter the sign of stabilizing Taurus.)

Communicator Mercury retrograde is also forming a conjunction with sweet, soothing Venus in sentimental Cancer (8:26 pm). This softening influence can not only make us wax poetic and perhaps kindle our romantic side as well, it can also find us revisiting and analyzing old relationships, old feelings, including reviewing elements of our familial or ancestral past. Articulating our feelings now may also be more important to us. Additionally, it may be a wonderful time to visit art galleries, take in concerts, redecorate our living quarters, as we potentially have more of an aptitude and appreciation for beauty now in all of its forms. Too, this conjunction nicely dovetails with today’s numerology, since it’s the 24th day of the month, which is also a Venus-ruled six-day.

The Moon also enters its Last Quarter Phase in practical Taurus tonight (9:17 pm), squaring the Sun in self-expressive Leo. (The Quarter Moon phase always suggests some crisis in consciousness is possible.) It could be that we need to reconcile now a need to be pragmatic with a desire to be creative. Perhaps discerning how to place or put a value or worth (Taurus) on our own creative instincts (Leo).

“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” Maya Angelou

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On July 24, 1965, Bob Dylan (b. 5/24/41) releases the classic “Like A Rolling Stone.” Astrologically, that day, Mercury (words) and Venus (artistry) were conjunct in creative Leo (similar to what we have today with those same two planets conjunct in Cancer). The empowering Sun was also in dramatic Leo and sextile to the Waning Moon in articulate, clever Gemini. Dylan also had, in his own birth chart, transiting fortuitous (preacher-teacher) Jupiter in Gemini exactly conjunct his 7th house cusp (ruling the public) and trining his Libra Midheaven (career house).

Hope it’s a good one!

Astrology July 4th, 2011: Venus Enters Cancer, Venus Trine Neptune

COSMIC WATCH:

“Eventually you can get into the nuts and bolts of reality: nurturing, caring, and getting along.” Jody Watley

Love Goddess Venus enters self-protective, security-conscious, “Cancer the Crab,” the sign of home and family today. She will stay in Cancer until July 28th. Venus in Cancer inspires our deeper nurturing and caring impulses, and also heightens our desire for nesting and privacy.

Venus is also trine idealistic Neptune, in tender-hearted Pisces, making us extra forgiving, as well as more “fantasy-prone” in romance. This is a highly creative aspect that is excellent for any activity that calls for the full employment of our imagination. Many artists, musicians, writers, film-makers, and dancers will often have Venus-Neptune aspects prominent in their horoscopes, including the late Hans Christian Andersen, the Danish “fairy tale writer,” famous for his children’s stories.  Too, Venus trine Neptune is a classic aspect of “fairy tale romance,” so there’s a nice, synchronistic tie-in here.

We addtionally have intellectual Mercury in dramatic Leo making a fortuitous trine with brilliant Uranus in adventurous Aries. Uranus governs genius and intuition, so it’s possible that today will provide fertile ground for a plethora of “aha moments” to occur.

The Moon will also be in theatrical, glamorous Leo all day, favorable for parades and other “Fun Fourth” celebrations. Later tonight, she will shift into immaculate, attentive Virgo (9:16 pm EDT) to tidy everything up.

Famous people with Venus in Cancer: Meryl Streep, Clint Eastwood, Cameron Diaz, Lena Horne, Martin Sheen.

Happy Fourth of July!

Astrology May 23, 2011: “Make A Love Connection” Venus Conjunct Mars

COSMIC WATCH:

“The art of love…is largely the art of persistence.” Albert Ellis

Venus, goddess of love and beauty, is exactly conjunct desire lord Mars in earthy, pampering Taurus today, a potentially very romantic time when we may want to go ahead and try to make an intimate connection with “someone special.” Venus and Mars aligned tends to amplify our desires, making us want to seek out pleasurable activities with others that indulges our senses. It is also an excellent aspect for artistic creativity, especially since this pairing is occurring in talented Taurus, a sign which naturally makes it easier for us to give tangible expression or form to whatever is visualized in our mind’s eye. Gardening is also a favored activity today.

Also, the Moon continues her passage through friendly, civic-minded  Aquarius, additionally encouraging us to reach out and do for others and or espouse causes bigger than ourselves. Love could even blossom in connection with immersion in group matters.

Intellectual Mercury, governing our thinking, is also forming a 150-degree (quinqunx) aspect to cautionary Saturn in balancing Libra. This wavering Mercury-Saturn aspect could make us second guess or doubt ourselves at times, or suggest to us that we might be wise to adopt some back up strategies for our plans.

Enjoy your Monday!

Astrology March 26, 2011: “Seductive Love” Venus conjunct Neptune

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Seduction is always more singular and sublime than sex and it commands the higher price.” Jean Baudrillard

The Moon continues in “grounded” Capricorn urging us to apply “common sense” to our feelings and emotions. Although, the Moon’s monthly conjunction to “controlling” Pluto (11:49 am EDT) could pose a few challenges for us if we venture outside of our boundaries and try to exert too much pressure or influence on others.

This is an excellent “purge” aspect, though, so venting could be a good thing now, if done in a mindful fashion that does not unduly alienate or involve mud-slinging or the re-opening of old, hurtful wounds. Pluto is associated with the subconscious and under its activated ray, things buried deep inside of us tend to rise to the surface for review.

Also, it’s a great time to recycle or declutter on the home front or at the office. Perhaps one of the premier times of the month to do so. On the other hand, treasure-hunters may want to do some antiquing, as Moon-Pluto can be favorable for unearthing “rare jewels.”

Connection queen Venus also forms a tense, 135-degree aspect to “withholding” Saturn in partnership Libra (5:04 pm EDT).  We may feel a little more cut off or blocked in expressing our feelings. Saturn sometimes coincides with giving a voice to our fears.

However, this low feeling may not linger too long, as we also have love maven Venus conjuncting magical Neptune (9:40 pm EDT), a time when we are more inclined to “idealize love.” Putting our lover on a pedestal or making great “sacrifices” for the sake of love, may be part of our mindset now, as Venus-Neptune can be a very seductive, alluring influence. We do need to be mindful of the fact, though, that “all that glitters” may not be gold. Because, on the shadow side, “spell-binding” Venus-Neptune can be deceptive. We are also more emotionally vulnerable now.

Also, new people that come into our lives may be on a “different wavelength” from us. This influence has been known to produce some rather “odd pairings.”

Too, with Neptune symbolizing our link to the divine, Venus-Neptune, at the highest levels, can equate to “selfless love,” or an ability for demonstrating deep compassion and sensitivity with others. Therefore, it’s an excellent time to do charitable work or to dole out good deeds. It is also a very creative influence, perfect for any artistic renderings or performances, including dancing, as Neptune rules the feet.

Venus also moves into Neptune-ruled Pisces tomorrow, so today is sort of a “test-run” for possible things to come. Venus stays in Pisces until April 21. (Refer to my Venus in Pisces blog post for more details.)

Patricia Thompson’s Astrology April 8, 2010: Hippie Beads, Baseball

07 Wednesday Apr 2010

“The rebel can never find peace.  He knows what is good and, despite himself, does evil. The value which supports him is never given to him once and for all.” Albert Camus.

We still have the wacky, non-conforming Aquarian Moon, so it is mandatory we wear hippie beads and bell bottoms today. Incense burning is optional.

Warrior Mars in Leo is also inching closer to an exact quinqunx (stressful) to Pluto in Capricorn. This is a tricky influence.  Combined with the rebel Aquarian Moon, it tends to arouse our anarchistic impulses and whets our appetite for wanting to lord power over others.  We can also be very intense and obsessed with a course of action now. Overall, this is a more challenging aspect in which it is harder to disengage our energies.

On the bright side, we have Venus and Mercury conjoined in Taurus, signifying a good measure of creative energy to tap into. It’s especially favorable for producing things of beauty, or for beautifying ourselves, our surroundings.

Memorable event in history on this date: April 8, 1975 – Frank Robinson manages his first baseball game with the Cleveland Indians and becomes the first black major league manager.

On that historic date, Mercury was conjunct benefic Jupiter in Aries (the sign which rules sports) and both were “opposite” transforming Pluto in Libra. Mercury “the Winged Messenger” governs communication, while Jupiter represents expansion of our horizons. Usually, when we get Mercury-Jupiter together, the news of the day is more hopeful, positive. We feel there is very little that we cannot do. We have the “sky is the limit” mentality.

Meanwhile, Pluto often acts  as a “reforming agent” upon the collective.  It’s ray is typically notable when we hear of major revampings or overhauls. The “opposition aspect” signals “turning points.”

So when we combine all these complex elements together in one giant astrological mixing bowl (along with my sage interpretation) we end up with a historic news story with expansive, transformational implications for sports as well as the general public (Libra).  Cleveland also beat New York, 5-3.

“God watches over drunks and third baseman.” Leo Durocher.

On a Personal Note: You may have noticed I have done some “revamping.”  Gone is the “Daily Astrology Scoop Horoscope” header which I always thought was too long anyway. Instead I have replaced that with my name which is also too long. (These kinds of changes happen when you get the recalcitrant Aquarian Moon with Pluto retrograde.) Anyway, I have decided that I am going to continue with a daily astrology blog (unless I take a day off) but it may not always have a daily horoscope component to it.  What I will have is a mix of world events, as well as events in history, laced with horoscopes of prominent people in the news and celebrities. I just thought this would be more fun and also more where I can make a worthwhile contribution. Hope you continue to join me daily. It’s much more fun when you’re here.)

Peace and love, everyone.  Enjoy your day!
