Cosmic Weather:

“Self-consciousness kills communication.” Rick Steves

With mental Mercury squaring taskmaster Saturn today (at 1:28 pm) we may feel that it’s a bit harder to get our brilliant thoughts and ideas across to others. Part of the reason for this may be that we tend to be more highly critical or judgmental of ourselves and other people now and that resistance/unacceptance tends to impede the natural flow of things. There may also be more of a desire to want to nail down every last detail in projects as super-cautious Saturn never likes to leave anything to chance.

Generally, Mercury-Saturn aspects are excellent for any endeavors that call for focus or concentration, such as research, planning, budgeting, quality control, or editing. On the shadow side, there can be more of a tendency to worry or to let our fears predominate, which is why we may want to just concern ourselves now with living in the present moment, which is something we can always do something about. We can create in the present, but not in the future.

The Waxing Moon is also in protective Cancer making us more fixated on home, family, and security issues.

Born On This Day: American author Harper Lee (To Kill A Mockingbird), in 1926, in Monroeville, Alabama.

“Sometimes the Bible in the hand of one man is worse than a whiskey bottle in the hand of (another)… There are just some kind of men who are so busy worrying about the next world they’ve never learned to live in this one, and you can look down the street and see the results.” H.L.

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

Cosmic Weather:

Today’s excellent for doing what needs to get done as the Moon is in focused, structured Capricorn, all day, the zodiacal sign associated with work, business, and responsibilities. This lunar position can also make us more aware of the importance of conserving our resources, including how we spend both our time and money.

Intellectual Mercury in perceptive Scorpio is also forming a waning sextile to Saturn, the ruler of the Capricorn Moon, an aspect which will be exact, early tomorrow morning (1:13 am). Due to Mercury’s retrograde phase, this is actually the third – and final time – that we’re having this aspect.

Mercury sextile Saturn is a great grounding influence for seeing the true nature of things, for any long-term planning, for serious discussions, for working with details, and for concentration. 

Numerologically, the 29th day of the month is generally positive for teamwork. There may also be more of an interest in philanthropic activities.

*All times EST

Born On November 29th: British writer and lay theologian C.S. Lewis, in 1898.

True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less. C.S. Lewis

Hope it’s a good one!

Today’s Astrology for September 5, 2019: Mercury Trines Saturn

05 Thursday Sep 2019

Cosmic Weather:

Today (especially the first half) is excellent for putting on our stylish thinking caps and doing some serious planning, especially engaging in long-term planning for our future. This is because Mercury, in precise Virgo (the planet that shows how we think, reason or make sense of things), is forming a flowing trine to structuring Saturn Rx in utilitarian Capricorn (Saturn is the planet that provides us with a reality check; it also represents our limits and capabilities).

In general, Mercury trining Saturn helps foster practical, more efficient ways of thinking, communicating, and relating. Also, due to the more cautious nature of Saturn, we are more likely now to want to stick with the tried-and-true, or what has, otherwise, already been tested and shown to be reliable.

Later in the day, meanwhile, the First Quarter Moon in “adventurous” Sagittarius  (11:10 pm), can find us more than a little willing, again, to experiment, or to throw caution to the wind, which is something that can potentially cause us a bit of inner angst or discord as the transiting Virgo planetary stellium now would much prefer that everything be neatly tied up and packaged with a nice bow on top. 🙂 On the other hand, the positive side to this lunar phase is that it’s showing us that we’re continually wanting to grow and become more of who we are, and that’s always a good thing!

“Without leaps of imagination or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.” Gloria Steinem

Activities favored today: Studying more serious disciplines such as math, science, architecture, or engineering; having serious, practical discussions with established authority figures or persons in power; organizing one’s workspace or work duties; having or scheduling a hearing test or a bone-density test; retirement planning; budget planning.

*All times EDT

Born on This Day: American comedian and stand-up actor, Bob Newhart, known for his deadpan humor, turns 90 years old today.

(Newhart, a Virgo Sun, has Mercury exactly conjunct Mars in pleasing, diplomatic Libra. Mercury conjunct Mars generally produces a great deal of mental energy and mental alertness or quickness. Both of these planets in Newhart’s chart are also opposite spontaneous, irreverent Uranus, the planet of genius and inventiveness, in pioneering Aries.) 

“I don’t like country music, but I don’t mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means ‘put down’.” Bob Newhart 🙂

Hope it’s a good one!

Today’s Astrology January 18, 2019: Venus-Mars, Mercury-Pluto, Sun-Uranus

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” Lao Tzu

Heading into Monday’s Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Leo, the energies are very strong and powerful today! We have a trio of major aspects now:

Venus in Sagittarius trines Mars in Aries ( 11:50 am): Venus and Mars are billed as the Cosmic Lovers so the prospects for romance are elevated today! 🙂 In general, this is very playful energy. A good day to simply enjoy ourselves. To engage in whatever activities are fun for us, that bring us pleasure. It’s an excellent time to express our emotions, to show others what’s in our heart. There’s a nice give and take now between the sexes. This influence helps our interpersonal relationships, overall. “Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.” H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Mercury conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn (3:01 pm): This is one of the best aspects for concentration! It really aids us in focusing on the matter at hand, thereby, potentially increasing our understanding. The truth is also more apparent to us now. On the flip side here, though, sometimes we can get so focused on something that it becomes an obsession with us. That can be when the Mercury-Pluto energy becomes problematic.  Yours truly was born with Mercury-Pluto in a tight square so I can personally vouch for its intensity! Mercury-Pluto can also help us to unravel mysteries by presenting us with secret information. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of detective Sherlock Holmes, was born with a tight Mercury and Pluto conjunction in Taurus.

Mercury and Pluto conjunct in Capricorn today should be especially good for any planning or organizing activities, including such things as succession planning. We’re also more willing to have conversations of a serious nature. Our words also seem to deliver more power or impact. “When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”  Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

(UPDATE: As of today, President Trump also has reportedly banned members of Congress from traveling on U.S. government-owned aircraft during the government shutdown. An interesting Mercury-Pluto in Capricorn headline here, with Mercury ruling travel and Pluto signifying more crisis-related issues. Capricorn also rules government.)

Sun in Capricorn squares Uranus in Aries (8:30 pm): When these two heavenly bodies square off with each other, it’s always a good idea to be prepared for the unexpected! If we’re wise, we’ll also want to make sure we have Plan B ready to whip out today, just in case things don’t go as scheduled.

Sun in conservative Capricorn is more of a traditionalist at heart, usually interested in achieving things like security and status, while Uranus in Aries is more interested in trailblazing and expressing its true indviduality. So we potentially have that type of internal clash going on today. We may want to be careful, however, in not overturning things too quickly now, if we’re unhappy or dissatisfied with our circumstances. Rather it may be better to wait a few days for this more volatile energy to play out. Typically, Sun square Uranus can make us more bored with our routines, more eager for variety. “With rebellion, awareness is born.”  Albert Camus

The Moon also continues in flexible, curious Gemini today. An energy that supports the playfulness of the Venus and Mars, the mental probing of the Mercury-Pluto, and the desire for change that the Sun-Uranus is clamoring for.

*All times EST.

Famous Birthdays January 18: Cary Grant, Kevin Costner, Danny Kaye, Daniel Williams (he performed the first open heart surgery).

“Everyone wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant.” Cary Grant

This Date in History:  On January 18, 1919 the Paris peace conference ( aka the Versailles peace conference) opens to draw up the treaties formally ending the Great War (WWI). At the time, transiting Saturn was at 26 degrees of leadership Leo exactly opposite Uranus at 26 degrees of humanistic Aquarius. Mars was also at 23 degrees of Aquarius, getting ready to conjunct Uranus, and acting as a trigger for the more long-term Saturn-Uranus opposition. Regarding the symbology here, Saturn-Uranus oppositions can signal the ending of established, more rigid structures, a loss of power, and leadership lessons (Saturn in Leo). Uranus represents the rise of a new regime, or a new protocol (Uranus), ideally more reflective or responsive to the needs of the people.

Transiting Mercury in (government-ruling) Capricorn was also in an exact opposition to transformative Pluto in Cancer, that day. A similar influence to what we have going on now with the Mercury-Pluto conjunction. Mercury-Pluto aspects, as mentioned earlier, can signify times when we have to deal with more crisis-related matters; the peace treaty was being created to formally end the destructive WWI. Mercury also rules contracts or agreements.

Enjoy your day! Follow your heart’s desires.

“The field of consciousness is tiny. It accepts only one problem at a time.” Antoine De Saint-Exupery

Cosmic Watch: Intellectual Mercury trines disciplined Saturn (4:15 am EDT). Our thinking caps are on today! Mercury-Saturn is an excellent aspect for concentration, planning, budgeting, organization and research. It favors serious discussions and presentations that call for relaying detailed information. Our words are parceled out more sparingly now and we also want to see proof or tangible results before we commit our resources, or sign on the dotted line. Keep in mind, though, that Mercury is still in its retrograde phase until May 3rd, which can mean decisions made now can later be reversed. Still this can be a productive time for conscientiously reviewing matters, cultivating sound judgment, as well as seeking wise counsel from those whose opinions and insights we value and respect. On another level, it may be a positive day to go for, or schedule, a hearing (audiological) test, or be fitted for a hearing aid. Saturn governs our hearing.

“Tell people there’s an invisible man in the sky who created the universe, and the vast majority will believe you. Tell them the paint is wet, and they have to touch it to be sure.” George Carlin 🙂

Mercury trine Saturn Archetypes: The Judge, the Scientist, the Architect

This Date in History: Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was inaugurated as the 265th Pope of the Roman Catholic Church on April 24, 2005, taking the name Pope Benedict XVI.  In the sky, initiating Mars, in humanistic Aquarius, was exactly sextile to rejuvenating Pluto in philosophical Sagittarius, a sign which rules, among other things, organized religion and our higher beliefs. Mars-Pluto aspects tend to usher in transforming scenarios in our lives, including situations involving changes of power. There can also be a strong feeling or sense that we are experiencing a pivotal “rendezvous with destiny” when these two heavenly bodies intersect.

“When we keep our silence we gather our power; when we speak we let loose the concentration of quiet reverie.” Bryant McGill

Alley, Birch Alley, Tree, Birch, Rest

Today’s Energy:

Communicator Mercury is conjunct “focused” Saturn in “philosophical” Sagittarius (11:57 pm EST), an aspect that is normally regarded as excellent for our power of concentration as well as ideal for filling in the details of any long-range planning. Albert Einstein, a Pisces Sun, had this same aspect in his natal chart, but in pioneering Aries. In fact, it was the closest aspect, in his chart, with the conjunction occurring only one degree apart, suggesting that this planetary pairing would have a defining impact upon his thinking and general behavior. Mercury-Saturn is also thought to correlate with more of an aptitude for science, math, research, and critical thinking in general.

Because cautious, serious Saturn symbolically represents the principle of contraction, sometimes with this Mercury-Saturn energy we also tend to “trim the fat from our words” choosing to be as precise or succinct as possible in our speech or writing. Of course, with this conjunction occurring in “voluminous” Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius now, we may not be as parsimonious with our words as might be expected! At the very least, however, this may be a very good time to scale deeper with our thinking, to become keener observers of the world around us, or to hone or develop our listening skills.

Because Saturn also symbolizes our fears, worries, or concerns, Mercury-Saturn can also find us pondering “worst case scenarios.” Benjamin Disraeli once mused about this type of thinking this way: “I am prepared for the worst (Saturn), but hope for the best (Jupiter).” Additionally, on the shadow side, Mercury-Saturn can trigger more judgmental behavior, as well as an intolerance for views that are different from our own.

Enterprising Mars in “balancing” Libra is also sextiling Saturn today, an aspect that is linked with sustained effort, industriousness, and planning for tomorrow, sort of akin to a farmer diligently sowing seeds for future crops. Too, with Mars in “collaborative” Libra, it can indicate a positive period for formulating or arranging diplomatic or cooperative strategies.

The Moon in “stabilizing” Taurus also potentially supplies us with extra reserves of patience and perseverance today. French playwright Moliere noted that the trees that are slow to grow “bear the best fruit.”

Questions for Today: What topics are more difficult for you to talk about, and why? Where in your life do you maybe need to let go of judgments? What might you need to say “no” to now as a way of loving self-care?

Famous November 24 Birthdays: Zachary Taylor, Scott Joplin, Stephen Merchant, Ted Bundy, William F. Buckley Jr.

“If your mind carries a heavy burden of the past, you will experience more of the same. The past perpetuates itself through lack of presence. The quality of your consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future.” Eckhart Tolle

COSMIC WATCH:

Old Trees In Autumnal Forest

With “mental” Mercury conjunct “cautious” Saturn, today, there can be a tendency to dwell on “what’s not working” – or what could go wrong – instead of focusing on what’s going smoothly, or on the mend. Albert Einstein once said, “Problems cannot be solved with the same mindset that created them.” Meaning that if we’re going to fix or resolve things, we must first find a way to expand our consciousness.

Interestingly, Einstein, a Pisces Sun with a Sagittarian Moon, was born with his natal Mercury in a tight conjunction with Saturn in “pioneering” Aries. Mercury-Saturn aspects, on the plus side, can often confer great powers of concentration, or allow us to think very deeply about things, as it is the nature of Saturn to narrow or refine our focus.

Additionally, Mercury-Saturn can also make us more aware of our distinctness, or separateness, from others; Saturn energy is naturally associated with a desire to set boundaries around ourselves. Also, on the shadow side, we’re potentially more sensitive, now, to perceived hurts or slights from others. Choosing our words more carefully, today, so as not to unduly offend others, might be a very good idea. Also, if we can put in an encouraging word, if we’re around someone who’s down, that may also go a long way in helping to turn their day around. While Mercury-Saturn can often incline some of us to want to be alone, now, with our own thoughts, for others it can be a time when serious discussions are broached.

Mercury conjunct Saturn is an excellent period to work on projects that require attention to detail, or research. This influence can also be favorable for studying history, with Saturn ruling the past.

Question for Today: What problem in your life, now, may actually be a “gift in disguise?”

Famous November 25 Birthdays: Joe DiMaggio, John F. Kennedy, Jr., Amy Grant, Ricardo Montalban

COSMIC WATCH:

We are able to get to the bottom of things today (Scorpio Moon) and our thoughts are also more serious and focused (Mercury trine Saturn). This is an excellent day for any strategic or long-term planning and for enlisting the advice of trusted associates who we regard as mentors or experts in their field.

Later, Mercury’s entrance into “mystical” Pisces (8:38 pm EST) provides us with the desire to study more abstract areas. We may also find that with Mercury here, the next three weeks, our logical, analytical thinking is forsaken in favor of intuition and psychic hunches. “Follow your instincts. That’s where true wisdom manifests.” Oprah Winfrey

COSMIC WATCH

“Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.” Paul J. Meyer

This is a day when we may be able to make major inroads with respect to our “to-do lists,” as we not only have an efficient, hardworking Virgo Moon, we also have enterprising Mars, in adaptable Gemini, forming a harmonious trine to productive Saturn in balancing Libra. Saturn governs our sense of duty, self-discipline, and powers of concentration.

Too, Mars trine Saturn is not only an aspect of accomplishment, it can also serve to help stabilize our circumstances. Also, positive Mars-Saturn aspects often coincide with our being recognized for our past efforts (Saturn is linked with karma).

Accordingly, this may be an excellent day for us to detail our professional accomplishments with those who are higher up in the chain of command. Also, we may want to make known to these same individuals our long-term goals and ambitions. Saturn symbolizes persons in authority, as well as seniors. Saturn is also associated with tradition, and Mars-Saturn generally tends to favor using more conventional methods to getting ahead, although Mars in Gemini can also be very versatile and experimental, so we have a little bit of flexibility here.

Interestingly, it was announced today that the South Korean city of Pyeongchang will host the 2018 Winter Olympics, bringing the prestigious games to a new region of Asia. Mars is the planet that rules sports and athletics. Perhaps its placement in curious, inquisitive Gemini is why the traditional hierarchy of the Olympics Committee (denoted by Saturn) decided to go with something different here, on this Mars trine Saturn day. (From wsj.com)

Also, another possible manifestation of this same aspect: For the first time, President Obama (Saturn figure) started fielding questions on Twitter today from “Tweeps.” The pioneering Mars in Gemini (the sign of communication) trine to Saturn symbolizing here the “opening of new doors of communication” with a prominent authority figure (Saturn).

Famous people with Mars trine Saturn: Marilyn Monroe, Andy Griffith, Leonardo Da Vinci, Sinclair Lewis, Annie Lennox

Do you keep a daily “to-do list?” If so, do you reward yourself when you successfully complete what’s on that list?

Personal Note: Now that I have Mercury, Venus and the Sun transiting my 4th house of the home and family in Cancer, I get a chance to play the role of “doting aunt” for a while. Below is a link to “Buckman Film Academy,” which is my niece, Sarah Nagy’s, exclusive film school for children in Portland, Oregon. Sarah (a Leo Sun) is selling some of her original artwork on the site to raise some extra money. You can go to her site and then click on her “artwork for sale” page and see what she is offering.

Astrology June 7, 2011: “Clear Thinking” Mercury Trine Saturn

COSMIC WATCH:

“Flawed judgment can serve as a bridge to sound decision-making when we wisely learn from our missteps.”  Patrice Thompson

The day kicks off with the Moon still deposited in drama queen Leo then shifts into worker bee Virgo (3:34 pm EDT) at which time our personal efficiency level gets boosted up a notch, as Virgo tends to be very organized and analytical. The Virgo Moon’s lucky trine to generous, optimistic Jupiter in material Taurus (4:43 on EDT) also bodes well for money and possession matters.

We may also find that our ability for clear thinking is potentially enhanced today with intellectual Mercury in Gemini’s trine to astute Saturn in balanced Libra. This is an excellent day for mental concentration, long-term planning, budget discussions, working on detailed reports, matters of commitment,  and gaining influential support or backing (Saturn) for our ideas (Mercury).

Anchoring Saturn tends to steady or stabilize our thinking and confers upon us practical know-how based upon our experience. It can also make us much more disciplined (Saturn). Too, we are more apt choose our words (Mercury) more wisely (Saturn). This is a positive time to discuss serious (Saturn) issues, especially related to our goals. Also, this is a good day to seek out professional advice or counseling.

Note: The Moon is void-of-course from 11:28 am EDT until 3:34 pm EDT. During that time span it is best to attend to old matters versus starting anything new.

Famous Birthdays June 7th: Late Dean Martin (94), Prince (53). BTW, Prince has a fascinating horoscope with a very strong “Pluto” tone to it, which may help to explain why he has always been more of a mystery to figure out. (Pluto can be very secretive). Also, it sheds light on his intensity.

Prince has his Pluto in entertainment Leo at 29 degrees exactly conjunct his 10th house of career (the highest point in his chart). He also has a Pluto-ruled Scorpio Ascendant (how the world sees him), and his restless Gemini Sun (power source) is exactly conjunct his 8th house cusp of other people’s resources (also the house of sex), which is the natural house of Pluto.

Pluto conjunct the authoritative 10th house often denotes the potential for a “power complex,” as Pluto governs the urge for power and or control. Pluto also represents the masses, and individuals with Pluto here often rise to positions whereby they can impact a large number of people (10th house is also linked with an individual’s reputation and the world at large).

Pluto also denotes our passions and obsessions and when it is on the professional house there can be an intense pursuit of career matters, sometimes to the exclusion of everything else. The person may also have the feeling that they are “fated” for a certain role. There is also often a desire to transform or radically reshape the world in some way, usually in conjunction with career, as Pluto represents the rebirth factor. Of course, Prince has done just that through his incredible music and unique theatrics (Leo). Prince also has his artistic Venus in sensual Taurus (ruling the voice)  aligned with both Uranus (genius) and Neptune (fantasy). Hope Prince has a wonderful birthday. Wonder if he’ll be partying tonight? Like it’s 1999? Do you think? Gotta’ believe that he will. 🙂
