COSMIC WATCH:

“Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.” Tony Robbins

The “ingenious” Moon in Aquarius is our clever companion and confidante for one more day.  No matter what we choose to share with her, she will likely be able to offer up original insights on the topic. Too, with the empowering Sun in “domestic” Cancer, we may want to use this “brilliant” Aquarian energy to change things up on the home front.   For instance, we may want to rearrange the furniture today. Or maybe go shopping for some unusual decorative pieces.

Of course, another easy way to perk up or revitalize our rooms is to put out fresh flowers. Flowers not only beautify our surroundings, and add lovely aromas, they also give oxygen. (BTW, orchids are ruled by Aquarius, while Cancer, governs white flowers and lilies.)

When we do make positive changes in our personal environment, they often have the net affect of invigorating other aspects of our lives, by helping to free up the “chi” or “energy flow” around us. The changes signaling to our subconscious a receptivity or willingness to try new things.

Do you feel energized or uplifted by your surroundings?

“Decorating is not about making stage sets, it’s not about making pretty pictures for the magazines; it’s really about creating a quality of life, a beauty that nourishes the soul.” Albert Hadley

Famous Birthdays: Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, turns 64 today. Camilla has her Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus all in “self-protective” Cancer in her 12th house of seclusion. She likely values her privacy and is probably content in a “behind the scenes” role. Her Sun, indicating the man (or husband) in her life, is also harmoniously trine to Jupiter, the planet of royalty.

Camilla did indeed “find” her prince (Jupiter). Although, the pathway to “Prince Charming,” and “happy ever after,” was, as we all know, a bit complicated for Camilla. We hope the Duchess has a very happy, 64th birthday.

Enjoy your Sunday!

COSMIC WATCH:

“The greatest pleasure of life is love.” Euripedes

After having a rather rough go, the last few days, affectionate Venus in nurturing Cancer finally catches a lucky break today with her warm sextile to abundant Jupiter in earthly pleasures Taurus. Venus-Jupiter is often synonymous with “luck in love.” So, hopefully, this royal duo will be able to wave their magical wand for us and graciously shower us with a bonanza of romance. Or grant whatever is our heart’s fondest desire.

This aspect is also grand for entertaining and parties, with Venus also ruling our social life and Jupiter liking to do things on a lavish scale. Jupiter actually rules and symbolizes matters of royalty, and we have William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, reportedly partying with the glamorous “Hollywood Jet Set,” this weekend, in LA. This is Kate Middleton’s first visit to the States. Wouldn’t you just love to be a “fly on the wall” at one of the planned celebrations?

The Moon is also in passionate Scorpio today, magnifying our desires and ramping up our ability to seize upon and claim the rich, intrinsic pleasures of the moment.

Of course, life is never simple and uncomplicated. We also have “wild child” Uranus, the planet of personal freedom and rebellion, stationing retrograde today in self-willed Aries. Whenever a planet changes direction, it tends to call more attention to itself (Uranus stays retrograde until December 9th). Although, we also have intellectual Mercury in theatrical Leo forming a stabilizing sextile to disciplined, conforming Saturn in diplomatic Libra today. This suggests to me that we do have the mental ability to “check” or “censor” our performances (Leo), if need be. Mercury sextile Saturn is excellent for both focused concentration and serious discussions.

Too, it may be an especially good day for talking about “affairs of the heart” (perhaps popping the big question?) with Mercury in romantic Leo and Saturn in matrimonial Libra. Too, lest we forget, we also have the indulgent, and very endearing, Venus-Jupiter sextile.

In the News: Sadly, I learned, this morning, that former first lady, Betty Ford, passed away, late yesterday, at the age of 93. I grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan and for many, many years, Betty’s husband Gerald, our late president, served as our district’s congressman. My late mother also worked at Herpolsheimer’s department store with Betty Ford in Grand Rapids, in the 1940s, where Betty was employed as a model.

Tragically, this week in Grand Rapids, there was also a mass shooting that made world headlines. Seven people were killed. The shootings occurred at locations near where I have relatives living. My brother was also at a memorial last night for the shooting victims when all of a sudden, the event also turned into a memorial for Betty Ford, when it was learned that she had passed.

We had Venus opposite Pluto yesterday, an aspect that, historically, has coincided with the passing away (Pluto rules death) of prominent females (Venus rules women) in the collective. Pluto is also in Capricorn, the sign of government officials. Venus in caring Cancer also denotes Betty’s humanistic legacy with respect to establishing the Betty Ford Center in California for treatment of drug and alcohol addiction. Betty helped to take away the shame of addiction by boldly coming forward and publicly announcing that she had substance abuse problems at a time when it was unheard of for public officials to do so. Betty Ford was a pioneering Aries Sun, with her Moon in compassionate Pisces.

“My makeup wasn’t smeared, I wasn’t disheveled, I behaved politely, and I never finished off a bottle, so how could I be alcoholic?” Betty Ford.

Patricia’s Daily Astrology Horoscope July 7, 2010: Rich Relatives

“I don’t care how poor a man is; if he has family, he’s rich.” Dan Wilcox and Thad Mumford

“Cosmic Word of The Day”: Rich

Definition: 1) having wealth or great possessions; abundantly supplied with resources, means, or funds; wealthy 2) of great value or worth; valuable; a rich harvest

Origin: before 900; ME; OE rice (adj.) << Celtic; c. G reich wealthy; akin to L rex, Skt rajan king

COSMIC WEATHER:

Very old, rich relatives.

We’re wondering if we maybe have any that we don’t know about.

But, how do we contact them and quickly make their acquaintance?

Before it’s too late.

That’s part of what’s weighing on our minds today, at the very deepest, internal, cellular level of our beings, as we go into Day Two of the “Money-Hungry” Taurus Moon.

We have very cool cosmic energy, for the next few days, for checking out our genealogy, and matters of our familial past, both individually and collectively.  All these areas are astrologically noted by Cancer the Crab, the official zodiacal sign of  home and family.

The steady Taurus Moon is deftly honing in on this sentimental Cancerian energy. The maternal Moon’s rays are also well-supported by energetic Mars in investigative Virgo coming into a positive 60 degree relationship with the paternal Cancerian Sun.

Young Child, and Sensitive Thought-Keeper Mercury, is also in homebody Cancer and applying to a keen sextile to nostalgic “Father Time” Saturn, who is now meticulously tucked away at the very end of chaste and pure Virgo, quietly spending his days looking at old family photo albums, while simultaneously reflecting, “Where has all the time gone?”

Additionally, Sunday’s powerful Solar eclipse is intensely steeped in the parameters of the past, falling as it does at 20 degrees of Cancer.

It seems rather fitting that such a potent figure from the past, Queen Elizabeth II, who is a gracious, elegant Taurus native and a notable member of the upper crust, as part of the British Royal Family, should pay a short, but celebrated visit to America in the midst of all this very rich, Taurus-Cancerian cosmic energy.

“Like all the best families, we have our share of eccentricities, of impetuous and wayward youngsters and of family disagreements.” Queen Elizabeth II.

Famous Cancerian Birthdays July 7th: Michelle Kwan (29), Ringo Starr (70)

“What greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined for life – to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories.” George Eliot.

For many of us, The Beatles sort of feel like part of our extended family. Their enduring music has almost always been there for us, forming a supportive and protective backdrop for our daily lives. They’re part of our rich family legacy of collective, Cancerian memories.

Happy Birthday, Ringo! May you have many more. Both you and Paul. Peace and love!

Enjoy your Wednesday, everybody!

Let me know how you make out digging up that rich family tree.
