Cosmic Weather:

“Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.” – Steve Jobs

This Thursday, intellectual Mercury in Gemini squares minimalist Saturn in Pisces (12:09 pm) so the idea of “doing more with less” may work to our advantage. It’s an excellent aspect for focusing, long-term planning, getting organized, whittling down our decision-making. In general, solid preparation can help to override our worries or fears now. It could also be that any rejection we may experience now may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

“Every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better.” – Steve Maraboli

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On June 15, 1965, Bob Dylan records his iconic single “Like a Rolling Stone.” It is the #1 song in Rolling Stone magazine’s “500 Greatest Songs of All Time.”

Astrologically, that day, artistic Venus in Cancer was involved in a Grand Trine in water with structuring Saturn in Pisces and imaginative Neptune in Scorpio – a very harmonious configuration that is thought to make it easier for us to manifest our visions or dreams, especially those of a creative nature, as this aspect suggests in-depth creative potential as well as depth of feeling.

Confrontational Mars, in critiquing Virgo, was also applying to an exact square to the empowering Sun in wordsmith Gemini – seemingly a perfect match for the song’s more confrontational lyrics. The lyrics are about a woman – a debutante – who has lost everything and is now living on the streets. The song is often interpreted as a commentary on the changing times of the 1960s. (Wikipedia)

Today’s Birthdays: Xi Jinping, the President of China, is turning 70 today. CNN journalist Dana Bash is also 52.

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Patricia Thompson’s Astrology May 12, 2010: Bob Dylan

“Wisely, and slow.  They stumble that run fast.” William Shakespeare

Some jeweled wisdom there that we’d be well-served to embrace this very day as the Moon enters leisurely Taurus (2:48 am EDT). The slower moving Taurus Moon has a way of soothing our weary soul now, giving it peaceful refuge.

The Moon also connects harmoniously to Mercury adding some measure of safety and stability to our thinking and ideas.

The Moon also reaches out to healing Pluto.  Pluto’s activated ray is able to permeate our physical being, intimately renewing our life force all the way down to the cellular level. A good day to go for a massage. Or to move about in water.

Event in history on this date:

On May 12, 1963 Bob Dylan (born May 24, 1941) was suppose to perform on the Ed Sullivan Show but instead walked off the set when network censors at the last minute would not let him sing the song that he had been earlier cleared to perform. The song that generated all the ruckus was Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues a satirical take on the ultra-conservative John Birch Society.

While Bob Dylan had a niche following at the time, this appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, the highest-rated variety show in America then, would clearly have been a big door-opener for his career.  Yet, he turned it down.

So, what in the heck did he have in his stars that day that gave him the wherewithal to just walk away?

Fascinatingly, Dylan had transiting Mars (combative) in Leo, the sign of entertainment, exactly square to his natal Saturn in Taurus (stubborn) in his fifth house of self-expression and personal creativity.

Mars square Saturn is one of those classic astrological aspects when we tend to bump heads with authority figures.  Mars rules our aggressive urge and speaks to us of our passions.  Saturn meanwhile represents the status quo and the tried and true establishment.  Saturn tries to curtail what we are passionate about (Mars) and puts all manner of restrictions around us. Dylan wasn’t going to have any of it.  Dylan’s horoscope indicates he has a tendency to be extremely stubborn and set in his ways with four planets conjoined in the fixed sign of Taurus and all in his fifth house of talents.

As destiny would have it, Dylan’s principled stand was probably the best strategy he could have ever taken for his career as all the publicity from his walking off the set got him noticed in a big way.  Also helping out here, transiting Saturn in individualistic Aquarius was harmoniously trine to his Mercury shortly after the Ed Sullivan controversy.  Saturn favorable to Mercury gives us firm, supportive footing for expressing our ideas.

Enjoy your Wednesday.  Keep that Shakespeare quote in mind.
