“Self-respect is the root of discipline: The sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.” Abraham Joshua Heschel

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon continues in “entrepreneurial” Aries, until tonight, so risk-taking is still very much on our radar today. The Virgo Sun’s sextile to “disciplined” Saturn in Scorpio (11:03 am EDT) is also very supportive here because not only does it inspire us to want to do and be our best, it can also help us to be much more calculating and strategic with the application of our energies. Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower once said: “In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.” Likewise, today’s “do battle” Aries Moon is potentially elevated by the “due diligence” mindset of Sun-Saturn.

Also, this is perhaps a wonderful time to reflect upon our own inner well of accumulated wisdom, based upon our own practical experience (Saturn) on the planet. Oprah Winfrey often uses the phrase “what I know for sure.” Sun-Saturn epitomizes that same sentiment – it is “what we know for sure” about life. Too, we could also maybe put a little of what we know into practice now by perhaps offering to play a mentoring role to somebody else. Or, by allowing another to assume that same role with us. Also, by sharing our stories and personal experiences with each other, we’re not only potentially forging a stronger, more intimate connecting link between us, we’re also able to see, with greater clarity, just how far we’ve come on our journey – as well as what our next steps, should likely be.

“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.” George Orwell.

Saturn symbolizes older persons, grandparents, authority / father figures; also customs and tradition. It is also widely regarded as the “Lord of Karma.”

Question for Today: What is a risk you must take?

COSMIC WATCH:

“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

We are still likely in the “wanting to conquer the world” mode with the Moon ensconced a second day in pioneering Aries. 🙂 Too, we just may be able to do it! We have the clever Gemini Sun, denoting our executive ability, forming a harmonious trine to solidifying Saturn (8:12 am EDT). A time when we are often able to see tangible evidence of our past efforts finally beginning to emerge. Sun-Saturn is also very supportive for long-term planning.

We may additionally feel a greater sense of duty or responsibility to others now. The nature of Saturn tends to be more serious and paternalistic. This is an excellent day to demonstrate our own personal brand of leadership. Also to seek out advice from those persons we regard as mentors. “The task of leadership is not to put greatness into humanity, but to elicit it, for the greatness is already there.” John Buchan

Looking Back: This same “Sun Trine Saturn” influence last year (June 2) coincided with Mitt Romney, the former Republican governor of Massachusetts, throwing his hat in the ring, a second time, for the U.S. presidency.

Would you describe yourself as more of a leader or a follower? What constitutes a good leader in your mind?

Famous People with Sun Trine Saturn: Elton John, Dinah Shore, Bono, Linda McCartney, Justin Timberlake

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Astrology July 6, 2011: Mars Trines Productive Saturn

COSMIC WATCH

“Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.” Paul J. Meyer

This is a day when we may be able to make major inroads with respect to our “to-do lists,” as we not only have an efficient, hardworking Virgo Moon, we also have enterprising Mars, in adaptable Gemini, forming a harmonious trine to productive Saturn in balancing Libra. Saturn governs our sense of duty, self-discipline, and powers of concentration.

Too, Mars trine Saturn is not only an aspect of accomplishment, it can also serve to help stabilize our circumstances. Also, positive Mars-Saturn aspects often coincide with our being recognized for our past efforts (Saturn is linked with karma).

Accordingly, this may be an excellent day for us to detail our professional accomplishments with those who are higher up in the chain of command. Also, we may want to make known to these same individuals our long-term goals and ambitions. Saturn symbolizes persons in authority, as well as seniors. Saturn is also associated with tradition, and Mars-Saturn generally tends to favor using more conventional methods to getting ahead, although Mars in Gemini can also be very versatile and experimental, so we have a little bit of flexibility here.

Interestingly, it was announced today that the South Korean city of Pyeongchang will host the 2018 Winter Olympics, bringing the prestigious games to a new region of Asia. Mars is the planet that rules sports and athletics. Perhaps its placement in curious, inquisitive Gemini is why the traditional hierarchy of the Olympics Committee (denoted by Saturn) decided to go with something different here, on this Mars trine Saturn day. (From wsj.com)

Also, another possible manifestation of this same aspect: For the first time, President Obama (Saturn figure) started fielding questions on Twitter today from “Tweeps.” The pioneering Mars in Gemini (the sign of communication) trine to Saturn symbolizing here the “opening of new doors of communication” with a prominent authority figure (Saturn).

Famous people with Mars trine Saturn: Marilyn Monroe, Andy Griffith, Leonardo Da Vinci, Sinclair Lewis, Annie Lennox

Do you keep a daily “to-do list?” If so, do you reward yourself when you successfully complete what’s on that list?

Personal Note: Now that I have Mercury, Venus and the Sun transiting my 4th house of the home and family in Cancer, I get a chance to play the role of “doting aunt” for a while. Below is a link to “Buckman Film Academy,” which is my niece, Sarah Nagy’s, exclusive film school for children in Portland, Oregon. Sarah (a Leo Sun) is selling some of her original artwork on the site to raise some extra money. You can go to her site and then click on her “artwork for sale” page and see what she is offering.
