Cosmic Weather:

“He who thinks little errs much…” Leonardo da Vinci

Thinker Mercury in practical Taurus is forming an awkward aspect (quinqunx) to philosophical Jupiter (retrograde) in enthusiastic Sagittarius today (5:48 pm EDT) so there may be a tendency to gloss over pivotal details in a bid to view things from a larger, big-picture lens. While this aspect can help put us in touch with our revered hopes or dreams for the future, we are also potentially more likely to discount or override good old-fashioned common-sense now. Since Jupiter is also retrograde, it could be that we are revisiting a tantalizing situation from the past now. Still trying to ‘bring it down from the clouds.’ However, it’s probably not going to be happening, just yet, again, as, more than likely, more flesh still needs to be applied to the demanding Saturnian bones for this delicate thing to fly on its own. A good question, maybe, to ask ourselves today, is, “What am I not seeing here that could be a game changer?”

Famous May 17 Birthdays: Dennis Hopper, Sugar Ray Leonard

On This Day in History: On May 17, 1900, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” is first published by L. Frank Baum with illustrations by William Wallace Denslow in Chicago. The astrology that day: Jupiter, Uranus, and the North Node were conjunct in story-telling Sagittarius and initiating Mars had just entered 0 degrees of manifesting Taurus. Communicator Mercury was also in Taurus and separating from a sextile to artistic Venus in “there’s no place like home” Cancer.

Hope you enjoy your Friday!

Astrology December 6, 2012: Time To “Fill In The Blanks” With the Virgo Moon

“An idea can only become a reality once it is broken down into organized, actionable elements.” Scott Belsky

COSMIC WATCH:

The empowering Sun in philosophical Sagittarius has us scheming about the bigger picture. But before we can manifest that grand vision for ourselves, we may need to break it down into smaller parts, or actionable steps. That’s where today’s Moon in analytical Virgo can practically assist us by helping us to systematically fill in many of the blanks on how to get there.

The Moon’s trine to energizer Mars (10:31 am EST) also inspires us to do and be our best.

Famous Birthdays December 6:  Agnes Moorehead, Dave Brubeck. “I’m always hoping for the nights that are inspired, where you almost have an out of body experience.” Dave Brubeck.

Sadly, Dave Brubeck passed away in Norwalk, CT yesterday, just one day shy of his 92nd birthday. He reportedly died on his way to a cardiology appointment.

Astrology February 25, 2012: Sun Sextiles Abundant Jupiter

COSMIC WATCH:

Jupiter, the planet of optimism and opportunity, is in harmonious alignment with the Sun, our power source and sense of self. The Moon is also in “pioneering” Aries. We are encouraged to act with confidence today and to mingle socially with others, particularly with those who are perceived to be authority figures or our superiors (Sun), as we have a chance to really shine now in their presence, which could help us to get ahead. The energy of the day is also conducive for undertaking new personal beginnings, or making headway with our goals.  With Sun-Jupiter, we are better able to see the “big picture” view of things, although we still do need to be attentive to the details.

Jupiter is also in “money and possession sign” Taurus and it is interesting that yesterday, as this influence was applying, the S & P’s 500-stock index closed at its highest level since 2008, on the heels of better-than-expected reports on home sales and consumer sentiment (wsj.com). Jupiter, which is linked with abundance, is often billed as the “cosmic Santa.” Jupiter is also applying to a positive trine to Pluto, which will be exact in a couple weeks. Pluto is associated with mega-wealth.

Famous Persons with Sun Sextile Jupiter: Madonna, Elvis Presley, Albert Camus, Prince Andrew of England.

February 25 Birthdays: Rudolph Steiner, Jim Backus

Today’s Affirmation: I am grateful for all that I have. I am also appreciative of the Universe for generously tending to all of my needs.

What are you going to reach for today?

Enjoy your Saturday!

Astrology January 19, 2012: Sun Squares Saturn

COSMIC WATCH:

Some of us may feel like we are sputtering around in the darkness today, weighed down by our burdens and responsibilities, and also by our past (Sun square Saturn). However, when we remember that all we have to do is metaphorically “flip a switch” inside, (i.e. shift our thinking), suddenly a new, illuminated reality can begin to emerge for us at any moment. Hopefully, a brighter reality with more open doors. Sun-Saturn is often a timely period for seriously assessing our current lot and weighing our future possibilities.

The Moon in “big picture” Sagittarius today also encourages us to prolifically “wish upon a star,” regardless of how dim or bright we perceive our present situation to be. Life Coach, Martha Beck, wrote a best-selling book entitled, Steering By Starlight, in which she discusses hooking up with your own “North Star” within. The inspiring North Star concept reminds me of the visionary Sagittarius Moon a shine at her very best. We are wanting so much to “believe in the dream” when the Moon is in this sign. Yet, with the Sun-Saturn energy, we may also be needing to refine that dream at least a tad today. Or, perhaps be willing to “adjust our steering” to get to it. 🙂

“Live in rooms full of light.” Cornelius Celsus

January 19th Birthdays: Dolly Parton, Shelley Fabares, Paul Cezanne

Today’s Affirmation: “Wherever I go there is light. Darkness is only an illusion.”

What lights you up and gets you feeling empowered?

In the News: Presidential hopeful, Rick Perry, dropped out of the GOP race today and is reportedly endorsing Newt Gingrich. Occasionally, with the Sun-Saturn aspect (exact today), we decide to let go of our old agendas, old goals, and choose to move into another direction, as alluded to in my daily horoscope. Sometimes we reposition ourselves after seeing the inevitable “writing on the walls.” For instance, this morning, the 137-year old Kodak Corporation, also filed for bankruptcy protection after fiscally struggling for the past several years.

Astrology April 6, 2011: “A Time To Grow” Sun conjunct Jupiter in Aries

COSMIC WEATHER:

“If we’re growing, we’re always going to be out of our comfort zone.” John Maxwell

“Expansion” is the keyword for us today, as the powerhouse Sun annually conjoins Jupiter (10:41 am EDT), the largest planet in our solar system associated with”growth and opportunity.” With Sun-Jupiter, we tend to “think big.” We also are more inclined to look at the “bigger picture.” Psychologically, we don’t want to be confined or hemmed in any way now. We also tend to have more faith that things will “work out,” as long as we hold on to the dream.

Astrology refers to Jupiter as the “planet of luck” or “abundance.” It does, too, often seem to correlate with prosperity or an “easing” of circumstances. Traditionally, Jupiter has been described as having a more “protective” quality to it. Jupiter is also linked with faith, optimism (“can do spirit”), and our own sense of humor. Too, a case could be made that when we are more optimistic and positive (Jupiter), we often attract more positive things to us i.e. the “law of attraction.”

So, with Sun-Jupiter today, we should do things that help to broaden our scope of influence and make us feel that we are growing versus stagnating. It’s definitely a time to “get out of our comfort zone” (referring to the John Maxwell quote above) and do something “grand.” (Jupiter). This Sun-Jupiter conjunction is also occurring in “initiating” Aries, the adventurous sign of “new beginnings.”

Fascinatingly, a quick peak back into history also shows that the very last time the Sun and Jupiter had their meetup in pioneering Aries, “Nunavut,” an Inuit homeland, was created from the eastern portion of the Northwest Territories to become Canada’s third territory (April 1, 1999). So, Canada literally “grew” in scope with Sun conjunct Jupiter. Isn’t that cool? Also back on that date, both the Sun and Jupiter were exactly trine to transforming Pluto in visionary Sagittarius (ruled by Jupiter), which was also a good time to symbolically “restructure” (Pluto) things.

The “shadow side” of Sun-Jupiter: We need to be careful that we are not too wasteful or extravagant with our resources. That we don’t “over-commit” or “over-promise.” We also need to guard against “over-indulgence.”

Some famous people born with Sun conjunct Jupiter: Mick Jagger, Woody Allen, Garth Brooks, and Anais Nin.

Astrology March 15, 2011: “Keep Hope Alive” Mercury conjunct Jupiter

COSMIC WEATHER:

“In all things, it is better to hope than despair.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Of course, with so much sadness and tragedy going on in the world around us now, it is much harder for many of us to feel very hopeful. Too, our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Japan. They have already gone through so much.

Ironically, we have mental Mercury, ruler of our thoughts, exactly aligned with optimistic, philosophical Jupiter (9:27 pm EDT) today. Mercury conjunct Jupiter is all about “keeping hope alive” and imagining wondrous possibilities, even when things seems bleak. With expansive Jupiter, we naturally tend to focus on the “bigger picture.” We attempt to connect all the dots.

The Moon also shifts from sensitive Cancer to self-expressive Leo (3:34 pm EDT), forming a powerful trine to electrifying change-agent Uranus in Aries (3:56 pm EST). Moon-Uranus could elevate our emotions and also our self-esteem (Aries). Maybe it will also bring about some positive, sudden breakthroughs (Uranus) or even miracles for those in need.
