Cosmic Weather:

“Enthusiasm is a supernatural serenity.” Henry David Thoreau

There may be more of a tendency to assume “bigger is better” in all sorts of ways today, as well as perhaps a burning desire to want to “test our limits” (to get ahead) as energizing Mars, in self-willed Aries, forms an exact square with oversizing and expansive Jupiter Rx, in methodical Capricorn, a galvanizing aspect that can greatly fire up our levels of enthusiasm, motivation, and courage. Too, while we certainly can meet up with a notable amount of success today, due partly to our irrepressible “can-do” spirit, we may also want to make sure that we remember to temper our actions with at least some measure of good old-fashioned “Capricornian” common-sense so that we don’t get too carried away, or act too impulsively – typical shadow side manifestations of this particular planetary configuration. (We will also have this aspect a second time on October 19th, when Mars is retrograde.)

Orator Mercury will also be shifting into ostentatious Leo the Lion, late tonight (11:32 pm) for a two-week run.

*All times EDT

This Day in History: On August 4, 1862, the U.S. government collects its first income tax.

Astrologically, on that day, the authoritative Leo Sun was exactly square to transformational Pluto in “revenue conscious” Taurus. Often, Sun-Pluto aspects mark major turning points in life. (Pluto also rules taxes!) It should also be noted that Mars was in pioneering Aries then and separating from a trine to the Leo Sun, another indication of bold “new beginnings” in the works.

Hope you have a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology November 12, 2019: Taurus Full Moon, Mars Sextile Jupiter

Cosmic Weather:

(Full Moon in Taurus at 19 degrees 51 minutes of Taurus)

We have a Full Moon in placid, sustaining Taurus, this morning (8:34 am), always a perfect time to slow down, catch our breath, tune into the ages-old, supportive wisdom of our bodies, interact with Mother Nature. The sign of Taurus governs or symbolizes our feelings of abundance, security, our values. It’s basically linked to what we love, and how we like to spend our time.

The “keeping it simple” Moon in Taurus is also a natural counter to the more “multi-layered, crisis-oriented” Sun in Scorpio. Today’s lunation is about balancing and integrating both of these opposing energies within us. There may also be more of a preoccupation now with solidifying our sense of emotional security, especially in the context of home and family. We may also be balancing out, or specifying, “what is mine” and “what is yours”, on a practical level, in partnerships, as well as distinguishing what it is that we wish to “share together.”

Full Moons also tend to bring matters to a climax, or fruition. What was begun at the New Moon in investigative Scorpio, a couple weeks ago, is now ripening, or coming to completion. Full Moons also can reveal or yield secrets, hidden mysteries.

Aspect-wise, today’s Full Moon in solid Taurus forms flowing trines to both regenerating Pluto and structuring Saturn in utilitarian Capricorn, suggesting we have an excellent chance now to deal with any transitions, before us, in a very pragmatic, determined, and resourceful way. The Moon-Pluto energy also very nicely ties into, or bridges, the more intense Scorpio Sun energy, with Pluto being the modern-day ruler of Scorpio. We can still go deep (Scorpio) with things now, but there’s less risk of emotional obsessions or fixations (Pluto) with the trine aspect. Normally, too, Moon-Pluto helps to foster feelings of empowerment.

We also are potentially feeling more intuitive, more inspired, more connected now to our link with divinity, or to our Source, or to the Universe, as the Taurus Full Moon is sextile to mystical Neptune in Pisces. Making it much easier for us to naturally lean into our reservoir of inner faith, like a trusty guide, to get us through whatever we are facing. Moon-Neptune is also terrific for any creative endeavors and for inciting our compassion,

The Taurus Moon’s opposition to logical Mercury in probing Scorpio also gives us an opportunity to analyze our emotions, or to do a “heart and head” check with ourselves, to see how we stand on things. Worst case scenario, it can make us a little more scattered, mentally.

What’s also a big extra perk for us today, in addition to the delightful Full Moon in Taurus (one of the best lunations of the year), is we have energizing Mars, in relationship-building Libra, forming a closing sextile to expansive Jupiter in adventurous Sagittarius (1:21 pm), which is also one of the last major aspects to Jupiter before it leaves futuristic Sagittarius, early next month. This aspect has “Can Do!” written all over it! It’s especially super energy for attending to all those Jupiter in Sadge projects we’ve been meaning to do (writing, publishing, travel plans, evangelizing, etc) but just haven’t gotten around to yet. Additionally, it’s excellent energy for dealing with issues of diversity, inclusion, fairness, and equality under the law. It can help inspire us to open or clear pathways, so we can all work together more harmoniously or cooperatively. Also very good for such things as PR and marketing.

*All times EST

Full Moon Blessings to you!

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.
