Today’s Astrology June 24, 2019: Venus Squares Neptune

Cosmic Weather:

Today we may do well to keep in mind the proverbial saying: “All that glitters is not gold” as Venus (the planet of love, values, and money) moves into a square formation with Neptune Rx (the planet of idealism as well as deception). Venus-Neptune energy can seduce us to “long for/fall for” the dream, even though the logarithms/metrics may not quite add up in real-time. In reality, of course, there is nothing wrong with dreaming or imagining things to be a certain way; the issues or problems arise, however, when we refuse or intentionally choose not to look at the cold hard facts. On another level, Venus-Neptune tends to heighten our compassion/empathy for others as well as our enhance our creativity. We also may find pleasure now, or take refuge, in being by the sea or water. Going for such things as a hydromassage may also be enjoyable.

Jupiter Rx (representing our beliefs, our personal philosophy of life) is also quinqunx the North Node in nurturing Cancer today (2:28 pm), suggesting that we are feeling a little askew or off-center about integrating the bigger picture into the fabric of our daily lives. This could be because there is possibly a little bit of shifting going on inside of us now and we may need some time to sort things out.

Waning Luna also continues her passage through illusionary Pisces, until late tonight (10:37 pm), when she then will move into action-oriented Aries, a time when we may also be tempted to kick it into warp speed.

(Venus in Gemini Squares Neptune Rx in Pisces. Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius quinqunx the North Node in Cancer. Moon in Pisces moves into Aries.)

*All times EDT

Question for Today: What fantasy do you aspire to make real?

On This Day in History: On June 24, 1916, Mary Pickford (b. April 8, 1892), known as “America’s Sweetheart” becomes the first female star to get a million dollar film contract. A talented actress starring in over 200 films, she was also the co-founder of United Artists and of the Motion Picture Academy.

Pickford was born with her natal Sun (life purpose) and Jupiter (the expansive urge) in pioneering Aries and also had Neptune (ruling film and motion pictures) exactly conjunct Pluto (transformation) in contractual Gemini (at 7 degrees). Her Venus (attracting power, artistry) was also part of that Neptune-Pluto conjunction (at 3 degrees of Gemini). Venus-Neptune individuals can often leave us “spellbound,” while  Venus-Pluto natives are often able to wield great personal power and charisma as well.

When Pickford also signed her million dollar movie contract, that day in the sky, the transiting Sun (recognition, power) and Pluto (reform) were exactly conjunct in feminine Cancer, and Venus (money) and Saturn (success) were also tightly conjunct (one degree) in that same sign as well, definitely putting a spotlight on the “Goddess” energy. Venus conjunct Saturn is also an excellent astrological aspect for stabilizing or solidifying one’s finances.

“You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call  ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.” Mary Pickford

Hope you enjoy your Monday!

Astrology February 24, 2019: Revisiting an Old New Moon in Pisces

24 Sunday Feb 2019

Happy Sunday! The Moon in rejuvenating Scorpio today invigorates our passions! We’re feeling things very deeply now. And, also wanting some alone time. There are moments of transcendence (2:30 pm ET Moon trine Neptune) and periods of tangible success (5:21 pm ET Moon sextile Saturn).

Down below, is also another look at a blog I wrote back on February 21, 2012, about the New Moon in Pisces, that day. At the time, the New Moon was also conjunct the planet Neptune, which will also be the case with the upcoming Pisces New Moon on March 6, 2019.  I also talk about Pope Benedict and Whitney Houston in it. I always like to write about what’s going on in the collective, in my blogs, because I think the outer, often reflects the inner. It’s also good, in my opinion, to have the past as a point of reference for today. To sort of check out the overlap, if any.  Anyway, hope you enjoy it!

On a personal note, I’m in the middle of a big move now, so my life is a bit topsy-turvy. Don’t have much time for blogging. Barely have time to breath! But, will be back with you soon! I also want you to know that I, very much, appreciate all of you reading my blog. 

Blessings,

Patrice Thompson

COSMIC WATCH:

A New Moon in “compassionate” Pisces is taking place today (5:35 pm EST). We have a chance to align ourselves with the more “soulful” vibrations of this sign, as a way of renewal now. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, a space in which we put aside our ego and earthly ambitions to focus on nurturing our “inner world,” the domain of our feelings, dreams, imagination, creativity and intuition. In The Power of Intention, Wayne Dyer writes that our imagination is “God within us.”

Today’s New Moon is also conjunct “transcendent” Neptune in Pisces, something that has not happened in 165 years. Neptune is the modern day ruler of Pisces. It is also the planet that formally governs our imagination. Neptune is linked with prophecy, scripture, clerics, mystics, saints, angels, artists, poets, musicians, and healers. Neptune and Pisces also preside over those persons who could be described as “downtrodden,” or down on their luck. Also, they both govern disenfranchised elements, minority groups, civil rights’ matters, and individuals with addiction issues.

Interestingly, on the eve of the Sun’s conjunction with Neptune, last weekend, Pope Benedict announced seven new saints and also appointed 22 new Cardinals. Too, we had the high-profile funeral or “going home” ceremony for singer Whitney Houston, someone who also publicly struggled with substance abuse issues. On another level, Neptune rules oil, and headlines about rising gas prices have been dominating the news, the last few days.

We will want to note “the house” in our personal horoscopes that the New Moon is falling in, as that is the area of our life where we may be feeling more of a need for reflection now. It is also where we have a chance to be more creative, and where we can set powerful new intentions for ourselves. Too, it may be where we may be called upon to give back to others now. “The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving.” Albert Einstein

“Some New Moon in Pisces activities: going on spiritual retreats; meditation; yoga and breath work; house blessings; photography; film-making; acting; painting; dancing and choreography; singing and songwriting; swimming; fishing; boating; spa treatments; costume-design; beauty-makeovers; purchasing cosmetics; volunteering; pet rescue and adoption; going to plays, movies; psychic development; séances; random acts of kindness; visiting shut-ins or others who are confined; tithing; pardoning, and other acts of forgiveness.

Happy New Moon Blessings!

Astrology November 26, 2015: Saturn Squares Neptune

“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance.“ John Lennon

Water, Reflections, Mirroring, Trees

Today’s Energy:

As we count our many blessings this Thanksgiving Day, Saturn in Sagittarius is exactly squaring Neptune in Pisces, the first of three meet-ups that will be occurring over the course of the next year. This aspect has actually been building for a few weeks already. Saturn represents “form” or the “material world,” or what many describe as the “power of manifestation.” In addition, it denotes such things as discipline, experience or maturity, authority figures, achievement, and conservation. On the shadow side, it is a marker of our fears. Included here might be Saturn acting as the official scorekeeper of all that divides us, or makes us feel alone in the world.

Neptune, on the other hand, symbolizes “formlessness,” or the “dissolving of matter,” or what some might regard as the “invisible realm of spirit,” which, for many of us, can be a much more ambiguous concept to grasp or relate to. At its finest, Neptune is associated with such things as faith, hope, unity, compassion, and idealism, and as the higher octave of Venus, “divine love,” – or “unconditional love,” if you prefer. It also governs vision and the power of our imagination. Neptune can also, on the shadow side, be the face of such things as escapism, addiction, trickery, or deception.

The “square aspect” is an alignment that forces us to take action on a matter, as a way of resolving something. So, in this case, we may be deciding, among other things, on whether to be fearful, anxious, or suspicious (Saturn) – or whether to have faith or trust (Neptune). Or, maybe we conclude that it’s not an either or situation at all: that we can feel the fear, the angst, the pain, but still extend the olive branch anyway. Or, maybe if we’re unhappy with our work (Saturn), instead of walking in and quitting in haste (Neptune), we step back and see if we can evaluate the reasons for our dissatisfaction; be more structured or strategic (Saturn) in our approach.

Saturn-Neptune together tends to make us, in general, more starkly aware of our perceived limitations or drawbacks (Saturn), but the issue is whether or not we are going to let them define  who we are. And, whether or not we are going to let them hijack or ride roughshod over our dreams or vision (Neptune), or destroy our idealism.

Sometimes, too, when both of these planets pair up, we’re at a definite crossroads, in our lives, and basically unsure of which way to turn. Neptune does, after all, denote foggy conditions! So, it could be that the square energy might be a perfect time for us to just kick back and push the pause button a while, to lay low on our earthly agenda (Saturn), to grant ourselves a well-deserved time out (Neptune), until we’re better able to see our way ahead.  It’s possible that some of the visions that we’ve had for ourselves, some of the big dreams, are no longer really a go for us, no longer a viable option, and we have to face the music and quit kicking the can down the road. Or, we may decide instead that some dreams are salvageable, but that we need to maybe, at least for the time being, narrow the scope of them (Saturn), or do some creative re-configuring (Neptune), so as to not feel overwhelmed by our present situation. Kind of like when you have a cluttered house, if you at least restore order to part of it, you normally immediately feel better.

Happy Thanksgiving! Wishing you many blessings your way.

Astrology November 25, 2015: Full Moon in Gemini

25 Wednesday Nov 2015

Posted by in Astrology November 2015

“In the age of technology there is constant access to vast amounts of information. The basket overflows; people get overwhelmed; the eye of the storm is not so much what goes on in the world, it is the confusion of how to think, feel, digest, and react to what goes on.” Criss Jami

Moon, Full Moon, Moonlight

Today’s Energy:

A Full Moon in restless “Gemini the Messenger” (5:44 pm EST) revs up our thought processes and curiosity, potentially resulting in “information overload,” if we’re not careful. Since Gemini is the official sign of communication, there can also be a strong desire now to want to share what we find out with others, kind of like a cub reporter with a red hot news scoop. Gemini also formally governs news organizations and the media.

In general, Mercury-ruled Gemini symbolizes our logical thinking, our sense of wonderment, our interaction with our immediate environment, including our relationships with our neighbors or siblings. This sign is also associated with mass transit and travel.

Full Moons represent culmination points and can bring matters to a head, including what was undertaken – the intentions that were set – during the previous New Moon, which in this case, would have been the New Moon in the “transformational” sign of Scorpio, on November 11th.

Full Moons are also often revelatory, so it’s possible that new information will filter out to us now that causes us to have a fresh takeaway or a new slant on things. It’s also a good time to possibly even reflect upon the particular way that we individually process or sort out our daily experiences, or how we get to know things for ourselves. This could also include assessing our personal style of learning. For example, I recently concluded that I learn best when I take in information via audio versus more passive book reading. At least my level of retention seems to be better with the audio, even though I love to read.

With this Full Moon in Gemini, the Sun is in opposing Sagittarius, the sign of higher understanding, which suggests that, during this lunation, we are also attempting to attach meaning or significance (Sagittarius) to the information that we are receiving or gathering (Gemini). Or, as Criss Jami alludes to in the opening quote of this blog, we are trying to sort everything out in such a way that we know “how to think, feel, digest, and react to what goes on.”

This Gemini Full Moon is also opposing Mercury and Saturn in Sagittarius – which are both conjunct the Sun – as well as squaring Neptune in Pisces, so we may also be grappling with how our beliefs (Sagittarius) pertaining to safety or security issues (Saturn) impact or shape our willingness to be open, loving, and compassionate (Neptune) with others. Or, how our fears, guilt, or past conditioning (Saturn) may serve to keep us separated from each other – instead of unified (Neptune) – and what to do about it.

Questions for Today:  What are you most curious about? What is something that you feel compelled to share with the world? How do you go about sifting through news reports for accuracy? How do you feel about trusting strangers?

“It is the imagination that argues for the Divine Spark within human beings. It is literally a decent of the World’s Soul into all of us.” Terence McKenna

Forest, Trees, Fog, Clouds, Mist, Nature

Today’s Energy:

The Sun trining “transcendent” Neptune encourages us to want to connect to a power greater than ourselves. Sun-Neptune aspects can also be positive for helping to dissolve the differences between us as they tend to foster a greater recognition of our common humanity, our intrinsic oneness. Sun-Neptune energy also helps to subdue the needs and desires of the ego while, at the same time, sensitizing us to the needs or plights of others, especially those persons who are perhaps down on their luck. Neptune is linked with compassion, forgiveness, idealism and humility, as well as with visions, imagination, and creativity.

Often, too, with Neptune aspects we experience a spike in synchronistic occurrences. In her book, The Tao of Psychology, Dr. Jean Shinoden Bolen says that synchronistic events offer us perceptions that may be useful in our psychological and spiritual growth. “And they may reveal to us, through intuitive knowledge, that our lives have meaning.”

Famous October 30 Birthdays: John Adams, Henry Winkler, Ivanka Trump, Grace Slick, Ezra Pound.

“The longer I live, the more I read, the more patiently I think, and the more anxiously I inquire, the less I seem to know…Do justly. Love mercy. Walk humbly. This is enough.” John Adams.

Astrology September 26, 2015: Pisces Moon Sextiles Pluto

 “You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.” John Bunyan

Hand, Cupped, Generosity, Sharing

Today’s Energy:

The Moon in “compassionate” Pisces helps to sensitize us more fully to the needs of others.  In The Art of Happiness, The Dalai Lama states that love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. “Without them humanity cannot survive.” Many of us have also been especially moved, this week, by Pope Francis’ visit to the U.S. and his apparent intentional way of living that makes selflessly caring for others, particularly those who are downtrodden, a number one priority.

The Pisces Moon is also making a sextile to “transformative” Pluto today (12:32 pm EDT), an aspect that can also serve to align us with that more mysterious, deeper part of our being that most of us are perpetually on a quest for. Today’s “close encounter” could be even more telltale or revelatory for us since Pluto just stationed direct yesterday, potentially accentuating its vibratory impact upon our consciousness. Pluto’s “communiques” to us are often thought to point us in the direction of our inner truth, illuminating more clearly to us what our next steps should be, if we want to live our lives with greater authenticity and a real sense of higher purpose. Moon-Pluto energy is also excellent for renovating our surroundings, antiquing, psychotherapy, spiritual healing, and locating lost or misplaced items.

Questions for Today:  What kindness bestowed upon you from another do you recall with the most fondness or appreciation? What have you graciously given to another that you are most proud of? What is your “inner world” all about?

Famous September 26 Birthdays: Serena Williams, Olivia Newton-John, Donna Douglas, Manmohan Singh, T.S. Elliot, George Gershwin, Marty Robbins

“If you haven’t the strength to impose your own terms upon life, then you must accept the terms it offers you.” T. S. Elliot

“The more I see, the less I know for sure.” John Lennon

COSMIC WATCH:

The “logical” Virgo Sun opposes “foggy” Neptune (10:33 am EDT). It may be harder for us to discern exactly what’s flitting across our radar screen today. On the one hand, this could open the door to our taking more “creative license” to explain things away. Especially since Neptune does govern our imagination and story-telling ability. A shadow-side manifestation of this configuration might be a temptation to partake in lies or deception; or to otherwise, distort the true nature of something, maybe through acts of omission.

Also, Sun-Neptune aspects are often associated with elements of surrender. Perhaps, partly because our ego energies tend to be lower now, which means we’re more likely to offer up less resistance.

On a more positive note, the Sun aligned with Neptune potentially strengthens our connection to the metaphysical realm, which Neptune also symbolizes. This might be an ideal period to go on a spiritual retreat in an effort to give our lives greater meaning and a deeper context. We may also feel more inclined to want to help others now, in a selfless way. Something that, I believe, we can all agree, is very much needed in the world today.

Question for Today: How might a “lack of clarity” actually be a good thing?

Famous August 29 Birthdays: Michael Jackson, Ingrid Bergman, John McCain, Elliot Gould

“I am living permanently in my dream, from which I make brief forays into reality.” Ingrid Bergman. What a perfect quote for this very Neptunian day!

“Maybe a person’s world can grow bigger in all the right ways, not too wide that it becomes shallow, just large enough to preserve its depth.” Deb Caletti

COSMIC WATCH:

With the Moon remaining one more day in “mysterious” Scorpio, we are still swimming around in deeper waters. A willingness to probe or examine life’s more complex issues, particularly those matters that may have been hidden or submerged from our view for a while, serves up a rich opportunity to uncover some precious pearls of wisdom now.

With assertive Mars sextiling compassionate Neptune, we additionally have a grand chance to showcase our more angelic side. “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.” Anonymous, Holy Bible: King James Version

Astrology August 9, 2012: Venus Trines Neptune

COSMIC WATCH:

“I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are good at heart.” Anne Frank

Lovable Venus, in caring Cancer, is trining idealistic Neptune in Pisces today. With this dreamy influence, we tend to look for the best in others and are more compassionate. It is also an aspect traditionally associated with wanting a “fairy-tale romance.” Sometimes, too, it can happen with this influence. At the very least, it is easier to go “under the spell” of our beloved now, as Venus-Neptune can be very hypnotic.

Interestingly, Danish fairy-tale writer and poet, Hans Christian Anderson, was born with this aspect exact in his horoscope, with his Venus at 27 of Pisces and his Neptune at 27 of Scorpio.  Venus-Neptune is often synonymous with great talent and creativity. Many artists, writers, dancers, and other performers have this aspect in their charts. Venus represents beauty and art and Neptune, the higher octave of Venus, governs our imagination and vision. Poet e.e. cummings also had Venus trining Neptune: “Your slightest look easily will unclose me, though I have closed myself as fingers, you open petal by petal myself as Spring opens her first rose.”

We additionally have the practical, yet indulgent Taurus Moon in its Last Quarter phase, which favors wrapping up old business now versus starting anything new. The Moon also goes void-of-course at 2:55 pm EDT.  Too, with the Venus-Neptune trine we may want to focus on beautifying our surroundings today, with Venus deposited in home-related Cancer. This may also include purging or recycling what is no longer needed. De-weeding is another excellent activity for today, with the Moon in earthy Taurus and in its waning phase.

Famous People Born August 9: Melanie Griffith, Whitney Houston. BTW, Whitney Houston had her Venus in Leo at 11 degrees applying to an exact square to her Neptune in Scorpio at 12 degrees.

“When I heard Aretha, I could feel her emotional delivery so clearly. It came from deep within. That’s what I wanted to do.” Whitney Houston.
