“Real love has little to do with falling. It’s a climb up the rocky face of a mountain, hard work, and most people are too selfish or too scared to bother.“ Stacey Jay

COSMIC WATCH:

Hearts In Nature

Venus, the goddess of love, shifts into “Saturn-ruled” Capricorn, today (11:42 am EST), a period when we’re more inclined to want to “get down to business,” with our relationships. Since Capricorn symbolizes time-honored traditions and conventional values, our relational mindset tends to become more mainstream and commitment-oriented, the next few weeks. We’re more realistic regarding our expectations for love, now; more willing to do the hard work that relationships require because we believe, in the end, that what we’re erecting is something that is more likely to endure or last, satisfying our Saturnian need for safety or security. Too, it could be that we’re ready to discard those relationships that are no longer meeting or serving our needs, or end ties with persons who are unwilling to take things to the next level, as Venus in Capricorn can be quite pragmatic and no-nonsense in her approach towards love and does not care to invest her time in anything that doesn’t appear to have a future.

Since Capricorn also governs career and business, Venus in Capricorn can be excellent for professional networking efforts, allowing us to capably turn on the charm, wherever and whenever it’s needed, including in the boardroom, where Venus in Capricorn often tends to particularly shine. There can also be a special fondness or respect for authority figures, or persons in positions of power. Professionally speaking, in general, Venus in Capricorn can be a time when our work or what we do for a living can potentially become more enjoyable or pleasurable for us. A time when we may “fall in love” with our career. If we’re unemployed, or maybe unsure of our “calling in life,” now might be a good time to get skills-tested to find out our strengths. Venus stays in Capricorn until January 3.

Famous People with Venus in Capricorn: Elvis Presley, Steve Jobs, Brittney Spears, Miley Cyrus, Cindy Crawford, Michael Jordan.

Question for Today: What do you “know for sure” about love?

Famous December 10 Birthdays: Emily Dickinson, Dan Blocker, Dorothy Lamour, Chet Huntley, Susan Dey

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Astrology September 26, 2014: Libra Moon Conjuncts Mercury

“A beautiful thing happens when we start paying attention to each other. It is by participating more in your relationship that you breathe life into it.” Steve Maraboli

COSMIC WATCH:

The “sentimental” Moon wraps up her stay in “social” Libra, this morning, with a conjunction to communicator Mercury. This may be a positive time to share or discuss our feelings with our mate or partner, or fellow comrades – especially if we’re also willing to hear what they have to say, as well. Too, this influence can be great for doing any personal journaling, or for writing creative copy that emotionally moves (Moon) others. Also, since this conjunction is occurring in balanced and fair-minded Libra, this Moon-Mercury energy may favor diplomatic efforts. It’s also important to note that Mercury is now at the end of Libra – at the anaretic degree – suggesting more of an “urgent nature” to communications or negotiations.

The Moon’s shift into “passionate” Scorpio (10:29 am EDT) also potentially adds a healthy dose of resolve or determination to whatever we choose to focus on today, with the Scorpio Moon characteristically known for its “staying power.” Late writer and renown management consultant Peter Drucker once noted that “commitment” is the catalyst for making our goals or intentions take shape. He said, “Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes; but no plans.”  I also think that, sometimes, we shy away from committing our self to something because we’re unsure or unclear of its value to us.

Some celebrities born with the Moon in Scorpio: Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce Knowles, Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, Miley Cyrus, Charlie Chaplin, Bruce Lee, Elizabeth Taylor.

Question for Today: What are you most committed to achieving?

Famous September 26 Birthdays: George Gershwin, T.S. Eliot, Olivia Newton-John

“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.” T. S. Eliot, Four Quartets

Enjoy your Friday!

Also, I wanted to extend congratulations to retiring Yankee Shortstop Derek Jeter for giving baseball fans a truly electrifying and historic “Jupiter trine Uranus” moment at Yankee Stadium, last night. Jeter reportedly described his winning hit in his final at-bat at Yankee Stadium as “an out-of-body experience is the best way to put it.” (New York Times).

Astrology April 24, 2011: “Emotional Detachment” Moon in Aquarius Horoscope

24 Sunday Apr 2011

COSMIC WEATHER:

“He he would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment.” Meister Eckhart

The Moon vacates practical Capricorn for objective Aquarius (2:00 pm EDT) allowing us to experience more of an emotional detachment with respect to our feelings. Mercury in energetic Aries also continues its opposition to serious Saturn in partnership Libra, perhaps inclining us to want to discuss more substantive (Saturn) issues with our mates, including maybe commitment? (Saturn)

This is also an excellent day for studying history or science, or for learning new technology. Too, it could be that with the smart Aquarian Moon, we are able to masterfully detect where the Easter bunny has hidden all the eggs. 🙂 Too, for those who celebrate it, Happy Easter!

Famous Birthdays April 24th: Shirley MacLaine (77), Barbra Streisand (69). BTW, Barbara’s horoscope is very similar to my own. We both have Sun in Taurus, Moon in Leo, and an Aries Rising. Too, I have always personally identified with Barbra, since I was a child. I think her personality is a lot like mine, particularly her sense of humor. Unfortunately though, for me, I cannot sing and I don’t have her kind of money. Also, I wish I had a man like James Brolin!

Too, a peek at Shirley MacLaine’s horoscope reveals that she has an analytical Virgo Moon conjunct mystical Neptune, perhaps why she doesn’t mind “going out on a limb” discussing her spiritual beliefs before the public (Moon). Of course, she is also regarded, by some, as being a little bit “spacey” (Neptune). The Moon not only rules the public, but it also governs our public image. Shirley also has expansive Jupiter in Libra in her first house, giving her grand creative (Libra) talents ( as both a performing artist and writer), and also making her a natural teacher (Jupiter). Additionally, she has innate ability as a “peacemaker” and “diplomat.” (Jupiter in Libra)

Oprah Winfrey recently had Shirley MacLaine on her program. Did you see the show? Oprah mentioned to Shirley that it was Shirley’s book, “Out On A Limb,” that significantly altered her own thinking on religion and spirituality. I was really surprised to hear her say that. Shirley also talked on the Oprah Show about her experience with “UFO’s.”

Astrology April 12, 2011: “Taking Center-Stage” The Leo Moon

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Broad paths are open to every endeavor, and a sympathetic recognition is assured to everyone who consecrates his art to the divine services of a conviction of consciousness.” Franz Liszt

It’s that time of the month again, with the Moon stationed in glamorous, “Hollywood Hills” Leo, when we must dutifully ascend the theater stairwell and take our rightful place, center-stage, beside leading man, George Clooney.  It’s, of course, a thankless job, but hey, somebody has to do it! 🙂

Yes, the Moon in “entertainment” Leo paves the way for us to be a “shining star” today in our own real-life dramas. The colorful Leo Moon is naturally upbeat and creative, authoritative, and self-confident, and generally imbues us with more of a desire to “make a big splash” and “receive recognition” for the things that we do.

Too, the Moon’s winning trine to energizer Mars in “pioneering” Aries (1:54 pm EDT) helps to fill us with loads of passion and daring. This aspect is also favorable for sports and exercise.

Later, the Moon’s sextile to “stabilizing” Saturn in partnership Libra may help to anchor our relationships (10:28 pm EDT), and can inspire us to make commitments (Saturn). Saturn governs the “urge for security.”

Famous Birthdays April 12: Herbie Hancock (71), David Letterman (64)

In The News: Japan’s nuclear safety agency raised the severity level of the crisis at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant today to a 7 – the highest level on an international scale, bringing the crisis on par with the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. Astrologically, we still have Mars involved in a tight square to Pluto (this influence was exact late yesterday). Pluto rules radiation and nuclear power. (Also, on the shadow side, Pluto can denote crisis situations and turning points.)

Mars, of course, tends to act as a catalyst for events, especially in an “initiating” sign like Aries which it rules. (The “square” aspect also tends to “force matters.”) Again, our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan. Such a tragedy.

Astrology March 14, 2011: “Rock Solid Relationships” Venus trine Saturn

COSMIC WEATHER:

“People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.” Joseph F. Newton

The Moon continues in sentimental Cancer beckoning us to connect with our roots, especially our familial roots. The Moon’s chilly square to Saturn (1:15 pm EST), however, may make us feel somewhat like an island.

Too, even though we may feel “cut off” doesn’t mean we have to stay in that mindset. Especially since we also have “Love Goddess” Venus forming a magical trine to stabilizer Saturn (8:35 pm EST), a classic astrological template for building “rock solid” relationships. With Venus-Saturn we tend to get more serious-minded (Saturn) about love and romance (Venus). The idea of commitment is more appealing, perhaps because Saturn governs the “security urge.”

On another level, Venus-Saturn can also be descriptive of “May-December” romances (Saturn rules older individuals). Possibly, too, there may be more of an inclination to seek out ties with older persons at this time because these persons may be perceived as a “safe harbor” for us.

Also, assertive Mars in dreamy Pisces is quinqunx Saturn (8:54 am EST). There is a tendency to “start and stop” things, or get curtailed by hurdles, instead of just following through. The best way to override this influence is to simply keep our eyes fixed on manifesting our daily intentions or short or long-term goals, while also holding ourselves accountable (Saturn). Saturn can challenge us to be self-disciplined.

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

Famous Birthdays March 14th: Late Albert Einstein (132), Michael Caine (78), Quincy Jones (78), Billy Crystal (63)

Venus Sextile Saturn: Romance Blossoms for Aging Baby-Boomers

“There may be snow on the roof, but there’s fire in the furnace!” Unknown Source

COSMIC WEATHER (January 23, 2011)

The Moon wraps up her stay in “pristine” Virgo with an opposition to “loose cannon” Uranus (3:09 pm EST), in “passive-aggressive” Pisces, who is privately toying with the idea of clandestinely tracking mud and dirt all over the Virgo Moon’s freshly-vacuumed carpet, so as to see what kind of wicked response it would elicit from the ole’ nocturnal lady. “Oh, my, Uranus. You are an evil one!” 🙂

Later, the “now-ruffled” Moon finally settles into “last chance for romance” Libra (7:00 pm EST). Party invitations are eloquently text-messaged to aging baby-boomers, desperate for love, to pop on over tonight for an impromptu get-together at the Moon in Libra’s elegant pad. This is because “love goddess” Venus, the ruler of Libra, now in “outgoing” Sagittarius, is exactly sextile to “geriatric” Saturn, in “relationship” Libra, portending the rare, rare opportunity for sudden, wild romance now, for the above 50 crowd. Yes, indeed, it really could happen! Get out there and mingle at the bingo parlor! You sexy thing, you!

“Venus sextile Saturn” is, generally, a more “stabilizing” time for all of us, with respect to our relationships. A period when we are usually also more “receptive” to the idea of commitment. Commitment, of course, often provides us with more of a sense of security (Saturn), which is something that is much more appealing to us now as a concept.

“We loved with a love that was more than love.” Edgar Allan Poe

COSMIC WEATHER:

Moon continues in Chatty Gemini. Love Goddess Venus and Lord of Desire Mars are conjoined in Passionate Scorpio. The Illuminating Sun is one day away from an exact conjunction with Serious Saturn in Relationship Libra. Maybe it’s time to say it in words?  To tell him or her how you really feel. Before it’s maybe too late.
