Cosmic Weather:

Some thick fog is on the horizon today, so we may wish to proceed with caution…

Intellectual Mercury in Virgo opposes fantasy planet Neptune Rx in Pisces (3:40 am):

This short-term annual occurrence tends to veil our senses, rebuffs logic, and may fuel untenable or highly speculative claims e.g. conspiracy theories. Needless to say, the communications sphere may be a bit twisted/confusing now as what we say, mean, or do might be misunderstood. Or what others say/reveal to us may not be the whole truth or enchilada even though they swear on a stack of bibles that it is!

Too, it’s possible someone may think they’re telling us the truth now but – unbeknownst to them – their perspective may be a bit warped or off target at the moment. Also on the shadow side, Mercury-Neptune may rachet up our emotional sensitivities perhaps leaving us more vulnerable to the harmful impact of harsher words or gestures. Likewise, we may want to avoid or sidestep certain persons now who tend to push our buttons.

On the positive side, this planetary configuration can be a real boon for our creativity as Neptune governs our imagination and it may be much easier for us now to conjure up or envision various scenarios or possibilities. We also may take more pleasure now in partaking in cultural or artistic outings.

On a practical level, perhaps one of the best ways to manage this sometimes trickier aspect, communication-wise, is to simply ask for more clarification, when in doubt, instead of assuming anything. We may also want to make sure that others understand the points that we are trying to convey. Fortunately, Luna is in articulate Gemini today until later this evening, so we may have more of a built-in readiness/capacity for dealing with all this back-and-forth type stuff. That said, it may also be best to hold off on any contractual signings/agreements/commitments for the time being as it still may be too easy to miss things.

On another level, we may find ourselves interested in pursuing more transcendental or spiritual matters today with Neptune signifying the non-material realm. Too, with Mercury governing the news, it’s possible that we may hear about more non-secular topics making headlines.

For instance, when Mercury in Virgo opposed Neptune in Pisces on September 2, 2012 (which was right after Neptune first entered its current transit of Pisces) there was the news of the death of self-proclaimed messiah Sun Myung Moon, at the age of 92, the founder of the Unification Church, a movement that is well-known for its “Blessing” or mass weddings ceremonies. The followers of Sun Myung Moon are commonly referred to as “Moonies.” (Wikipedia)

Some other things Neptune rules or is associated with: liquids, gases and chemicals, oil and gasoline, drugs and medication, addiction, and all visual forms of communication.

Born On This Day: Sergey Brin, Russian-American computer scientist and businessman (co-founded Google with Larry Page) in 1973 in Moscow, Soviet Union.

“Ultimately you want to have the entire world’s knowledge connected directly to your mind.” – Sergey Brin

On This Day in History: On August 21, 1987, the film “Dirty Dancing” directed by Emile Ardolino, and starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, opens in the US. The movie became an instant sensation and went on to become one of the highest-grossing films of 1987, also making Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey into bona fide stars. The film contains some of the greatest romantic one-liners of all time along with some amazing dance sequences.

The cosmic lineup was also pretty stellar on the day of the film’s release, with a stellium of planets in entertainment Leo – including the sexy duo Mars and Venus, exactly conjunct in playful Leo and exactly trine to expansive Jupiter in trail-blazing Aries.

“Nobody puts Baby in a corner.”

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

Astrology April 9, 2021: Mars Square Neptune

confusion, daily astrology, Mars square Neptune, Moon in Pisces, Waning Crescent Moon

Cosmic Weather:

“If you’re not confused, you’re not paying attention.” Tom Peters

Waning Luna in Pisces is in her Fourth Quarter Crescent Phase (also known as the Dark Moon). Appearance-wise, if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, she will present as a thin crescent of light on the left. Purported ramifications for mere mortals? It’s thought to be a perfect time for reflection, recuperation, recharging our batteries. May also inspire a desire for serving others.

Mars in Gemini Square Neptune in Pisces (3:18 pm) – If you’re an aficionado of meandering through tricky labyrinths, it’s likely you have a competitive advantage now (although, maybe not entirely). If not, don’t be surprised by some of the strange looks you may be getting from others assessing your precarious plight as you benignly take four steps forward, then twelve steps back – then lurch abruptly to your left, for no good reason. 🙂 In truth, the situation may even be more complicated than it looks. Kind of the day when we pull on a loose thread and suddenly everything unravels! The takeaway here might be to not poke around too much – unless we’re ready for and can stomach the consequences. An even better strategy might be to postpone new action until the dense fog has cleared and motives and circumstances become clearer. On another level, Mars-Neptune (along with the Neptunian Pisces Moon) can fuel our imagination and creativity. A bit of a magic carpet ride!

“Maturity, one discovers, has everything to do with the acceptance of ‘not knowing.” Mark Z. Danielewski

*All times EDT

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well. (I’m also running a little short on time, but hope to add “On This Day in History,” a little bit later here.)

Astrology / Cosmic Quote of the Day for June 23, 2015

astrology June 23 2015, confusion, cosmic quote of the day June 23 2015, double-checking facts, horoscope june 23 2015, imagination, Jupiter trine Uranus, mars quinqunx saturn, Mercury square Neptune, Moon in Virgo

Curved Path

(Today’s planetary aspects: Rational Mercury squares evasive Neptune; impatient Mars quinqunxes restraining Saturn; the Moon is in corrective Virgo; and yesterday’s reform-oriented Jupiter-Uranus trine, is still in effect. )

Cosmic Quote of the Day: “There is stability in walking an uncertain path, because you never allow yourself to be misled by what you think you know.” A. J. Darkholme

When we do presume to know the “lay of the land,” we do tend to naturally let our guard down. Or, are possibly more apt to relax our critical judgment as we figure we will probably not be encountering too many surprises or other stuff we cannot handle. However, sometimes it is that very “I got this” attitude that can end up leading us down a more precarious path.

With today’s energy, especially the trickier Mercury-Neptune connection, which can sometimes serve to distort, delete, or cloak the facts, it may be very advantageous for us to not take anything for granted now, and to be extra vigilant regarding some of the situations which we find ourselves. That vigilance may be arrived at by doing such practical things as double-checking stuff, asking for clarity when in doubt, making sure others understand what we’re trying to communicate to them, refraining from automatically accepting things at face value. Fortunately, the Moon deposited in logical Virgo, all day, can serve as a healthy filter to help us wade through the obscuring Neptunian fog. Too, this can be a great day to do any creative work that calls for employing the power of our imagination.  Meanwhile, the Mars-Saturn quinqunx influence may also require us to justify our actions, especially to those who are in charge. One of my favorite astrologers, Lilly Roddy, said in her daily blog today, that we may want to just use this day as a “mental health day,” and chill out with movies and snacks, while planning for tomorrow. Also sounds like a good strategy!

Famous Birthdays June 23: Randy Jackson, Clarence Thomas, Richard Bach.

“You’re never given a dream without also being given the power to make it true.” Richard Bach, The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah.

On a personal note, I’ve been absent from this blog for the last three months, mainly due to my workload. Hopefully, though, I’ll be able to be around here with more regularity in the future.

Hope you enjoy your day!

“Love only grows by sharing. You can only have more for yourself by giving it away to others.” Brian Tracy

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon is in “chatty” Gemini all day.

Love Goddess Venus also conjuncts generous Jupiter in royal Leo (1:21 am). Ideally, this influence will open up all of our heart chakras, and poise us to want to spread plenty of joy and good cheer around. It is widely regarded as an aspect of abundance and well-being. It can also be very romantic.

Tonight, communicator Mercury opposes fantasy Neptune (11:42 pm), the planet of imagination and deception. Separating fact from fiction could get a little more complicated. Misunderstandings and confusion can also abound. It is a good aspect, though, for creativity.

“Oh, what a tangled web we weave…when first we practice to deceive.” Walter Scott

*All times EDT

Question for Today: Who do you think “has it all”?

Famous August 18 Birthdays: Robert Redford, Patrick Swayze, Roberto Clemente, Roman Polanski, Shelley Winters.

“Whenever you want to marry someone, go have lunch with his ex-wife” Shelley Winters. Very sage advice! What do you think? 🙂

Enjoy your Monday! Know that “love is in the air!”

Astrology June 28, 2012: Mercury Quinqunx Neptune

astrology for june 28 2012, clarity in communication, confusion, horoscope june 28 2012, Mercury quinqunx Neptune, metaphysical life coaching, Moon in Libra, Obama health care plan, Supreme Court

COSMIC WATCH:

“Precision of communication is important, more important than ever, in our era of hair trigger balances, when a false or misunderstood word may create as much disaster as a sudden thoughtless act.” James Thurber

With intellectual Mercury quinqunx fuzzy Neptune, we are challenged to communicate with as much clarity and honesty as possible today to avoid any potential confusion or misunderstandings. This may also mean that if we are unsure of what to say to others, perhaps because we are unclear in our own thinking on some point, we should also let that ambiguity be known. Part of embracing our own power is being able to speak exactly what is in our heart.

It may also be a good day to remember that one of the best ways that we can honor somebody else is to give them our full attention when they speak. Many pitfalls in communication occur because we simply fail to listen intently to each other. “Trees are the earth’s endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.” Rabindranath Tagore

The Moon also goes void of course in “judicial” Libra today (4:22 am EDT) where it will stay until it enters “complex” Scorpio (4:32 pm EDT).  With the Moon void of course, we want to be finishing up old business instead of starting anything new. Interestingly, today is also the day that the Supreme Court will be finishing up business with respect to weighing in with regard to the Obama Health Care Plan. Libra is the sign of justice and it is also the sign that governs the Supreme Court. Authoritarian Saturn also just stationed direct in this sign a few days ago, suggesting it is time to move forward now in the various matters ruled by the sign.

How comfortable are you with ambiguity? How do you tend to deal with it?

“If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.” Rene Descartes

Famous Birthdays June 28: Richard Rodgers, Alexis Carrel

In the News: The FDA has approved the first new weight-loss pill in 13 years. The pill, Belviq, is made by Arena Pharmaceuticals.

This approval came with Jupiter, in flexible Gemini, exactly square to Neptune in its home sign of Pisces. Jupiter is associated with obesity, while Neptune and Pisces both govern drugs or pharmaceuticals. When planets are in square relationship to each other, the issues of those planets are often activated.

Enjoy your Thursday!

Astrology November 20, 2011: Sun Squares Veiled Neptune

20 Sunday Nov 2011

Tags

astrology for november 20 2011, confusion, creative, dreamy, foggy, freedom in relationships, horoscope november 20 2011, Moon opposite Uranus, Sun square Neptune, super committee in washington dc

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon in “analytical” Virgo poises us to want to figure things out, or to simply look for the logic in everyday matters. However, it may be trickier to ascertain or collect all the facts today as the probing Scorpio Sun is making an exact square to evasive, foggy Neptune (3:42 pm EST), an aspect which tends to veil or skew our perceptions and, accordingly, can make us a bit more confused. Also, on the shadow side, we are more prone to deception from others – and from ourselves now.

Dreamy Neptune also rules the urge for escape or fantasy, so we may find it harder to comfortably settle down now into our daily routines.  One positive way to go with the Neptunian flow may be to immerse ourselves in more creative type projects, such as painting, photography, poetry, song-writing or dancing. Neptune is the planet that governs our imagination.

This evening, the Moon shifts into social Libra (8:17 pm EST) and also makes its monthly opposition to freedom-loving Uranus (9:36 pm EST). This could translate into our suddenly wanting more “wiggle room” in our relationships. This aspect can also give us a penchant for wanting to pair up with more “unconventional types.”

”To know when to go away and when to come closer is the key to any lasting relationship.”  ~ Doménico Cieri Estrada

Famous People with Sun square Neptune: Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Costner, Cameron Diaz.

Neptune rules the following: oil, the sea and maritime interests, chemicals, paint, narcotics and drug companies, matters involving spirituality and mysticism, meditation, prayer, the movies and film-making, actors and actresses, songwriters, dancers, poets, painters, martyrs, prisoners, the downtrodden, hospitals, shelters, and places of confinements, scandals and cover-ups, all manner of disguises, swindlers and con-men, addictions and addicts, psychic phenomena, cosmetics, fragrances or perfume, aromatherapy.

Enjoy your Sunday! But, do be careful about drinking too much of the Neptunian Kool-Aid! This, of course, especially applies to the twelve members of the “Super Committee” in Washington. You know, guys, we’re counting on you! (No matter that mental Mercury is also getting ready to go retrograde in “let’s just gloss over the details” Sagittarius. That’s a whole other can of worms!) 🙂

Astrology August 7, 2011: Romantic Venus Sextiles Saturn

astrology for august 7 2011, confusion, Garrison Keillor turns 69, horoscope august 7 2011, horoscope for august 7 2011, love, May December romances, Moon in Sagittarius, Moon in Scorpio, stabilizing relationships, Venus in Leo sextile Saturn in Libra August 7 2011

COSMIC WATCH:

The “probing” Scorpio Moon meets up with “psychedelic”  Neptune this morning (11:14 am EDT), right before leaving Scorpio for Sagittarius. So there’s a chance that we may have to navigate through some fog and confusion, the first part of the day, as Neptune tends to put a “tie-dyed veil” over things.

With the Moon’s shift into impetuous Sadge (11:21 am EDT) we are imbued with a more adventurous streak over the next couple of days. The Moon’s square to retrograde Mercury in Virgo (11:54 am EDT), however, cautions us to refrain from being overly critical or arrogant in discussions.  Probably a wise time to remember that other people are also entitled to their own opinions, even though they may go against what we regard as “the truth.” The Sagittarius Moon is known for making us a little preachy. Too, it is a Sunday. A time when the sermon on the mount may be harder for us to resist. 🙂

We do have a good opportunity to stabilize our relationships today, especially later in the day, when love maven Venus sextiles steady Saturn (10:20 pm EDT), an influence that tends to inspire trust and loyalty with others. This is also a signature aspect of the formation of “May-December” romances, with Saturn denoting older persons.  Also, Venus-Saturn can bring back “old flames” into our lives.

“Come live in my heart and pay no rent.” Samuel Lover

Famous Birthdays August 7th: Comedic genius and fab storyteller, Garrison Keillor, turns 69 today! Fascinatingly, Keillor has communicator Mercury, in entertaining Leo, exactly conjunct his Leo Ascendant, giving him a great “gift for gab.” The Ascendant is the window through which we view the world and with Mercury right there for Keillor, in colorful Leo, he has a natural talent for both dramatization and intellectual analysis.

His Moon is also in witty Gemini, sextile to his Mercury, reinforcing his ability to articulate his feelings in a theatrical (Leo) way. His Venus and Jupiter are additionally conjunct in Cancer, the sign of home and family, making him very sentimental about his “Lake Wobegon” roots. Venus conjunct Jupiter is also a classic aspect of “luck” and Keillor has managed to use his “home base of operations” (Prairie Home Companion) to his advantage in his career.

“Lake Wobegon, the little town that time forgot and the decades cannot improve.” Garrison Keillor

Happy Birthday, Garrison!

Enjoy your Sunday, everyone!

Astrology June 24, 2011: Mercury Sesquiquadrate Vague Neptune

COSMIC WATCH:

“Confusion is a word we have invented for an order which is not understood.” Henry Miller

There are a few confusing or cryptic threads running through today’s cosmic forecast due to thinker Mercury in Cancer’s sesquiquadrate aspect to vague Neptune in “out to sea” Pisces. This is not a major influence, but nevertheless, it can create some misinterpretations or misjudgments, or communication snafus.

Basically, what we’re advised to do, as an antidote to this more ambiguous energy, is to simply clarify things as much as possible. In other words, give our tender brains a little gymnastics workout by asking questions or re-checking facts and figures, etc. This also sends a clear signal to the Universe that we are wise to its wicked shenanigans and that it best not mess with us. 🙂

Too, we have the impulsive Aries Moon chiming in here with a square to Mercury (1:30 pm EDT) which also suggests that we avoid making snap decisions on vital concerns, especially anything family or hearth-related, as remember, Mercury is in “there’s no place like home” Cancer. We also need to keep in mind that Mercury in Cancer has more of an emotional component to its style of thinking, so our feelings are more apt to permeate our thoughts now. We also tend to be more sensitive in our communications.

Later on, we do catch a lucky break with the Moon’s fun sextile to social, lovable Venus in cheery Gemini around mealtime (6:08 pm EDT), so we may want to cap off the workweek by going out to dinner with friends.Whenever Venus’s ray is kindly stoked, we have more of a desire for bonding and connecting. Venus rules our magical “power of attraction.” Venus is, however, also making a semi-square aspect to over-indulgent Jupiter in “jelly roll” Taurus (9:56 pm EDT), so we are urged to practice, at least, some measure of moderation.

“Be moderate in everything, including moderation.” Horace Porter

One more thing. If you’re a gardener, this is a great day to pull up weeds, as we have the Moon in a fire sign (Aries), along with a last quarter phase Moon, which means any weeds pulled now will take a while to grow back. This is because when the Moon is in its last quarter phase, there is a decline in energy, and a fire sign is also minus moisture. Also, a good day to mow the lawn for the same reason. Or, to get a haircut, if we do not want our hair to grow back fast.

Do you garden according to the Moon phases?

Enjoy your Friday!

Astrology May 4, 2011: “Brake, Then Accelerate” Taurus and Gemini Moons

COSMIC WEATHER:

“To climb steep hills requires slow pace at first.” William Shakespeare

We are looking at, essentially, two days rolled into one today, as we have the slower-paced, void-of-course “money-hungry” Taurus Moon, in the morning, and then the faster-paced, Gemini Moon in the afternoon (1:09 pm EDT). It probably serves us well to sort of chill out during the a.m. hours (attend to mainly routine matters), and then crank things up a bit later, when the Moon enters nervous, restless Gemini, the sign of communication and travel.

Too, one “cosmic weather advisory” here: When the Moon first prances into fast-talker Gemini, it immediately forms a hippie square to psychedelic Neptune (2:30 pm EDT), holed up in “why can’t we all just get along” Pisces. On the plus side, the Moon-Neptune square can fill us with inspiration and imagination, and maybe compassion (is also an excellent time for meditation and prayer). But, on the shadow side, it can also bring about some weird stuff, too, such as crackpot visions, delusions of grandeur, massive denial, con-men entering into our orbit, etc. In general, a very good chance for temporary “mass confusion,” including massive difficulty in correctly picking the winning lotto numbers for tonight’s drawing. 🙂

However, the Neptunian veil does eventually lift and the stage is then set for some really cool scenarios to occur with the Moon’s sextile to progressive, “electrifying” Uranus in “race car” Aries (6:49 pm EDT), when we may be emotionally stimulated to the max and thrilled by the sudden (Uranus) turn of events. It is also a great time to take unique action that defines us and sets us apart as an individual (Uranus). Uranus governs our “urge for individuality.” Also, our “urge for personal freedom.”

BTW, President Barack Obama (a Leo Sun) has his natal Mercury at 2 degrees of Leo (Mercury rules the mind and decisions) and his natal Moon at 3 degrees of Gemini, just like the Moon today (Moon rules moods and public image), so “liberating” Uranus in militaristic Aries is exactly harmoniously trining his Mercury now, and also favorably sextiling his Moon. “Mercury-Uranus” often inclines us to make decisions that are perhaps bolder and, more controversial or rebellious in nature (Uranus), that may also break with tradition (Uranus), or are unprecedented. Uranus can also endow us with brilliant insights, when paired with “thinker” Mercury, as Uranus is the planet that is linked with genius, innovation, and scientific discovery. Uranus is also the “higher octave” of Mercury, and also governs flashes of intuition.

President Obama’s bold decision (Mercury), reportedly made last Friday, to raid Osama Bin Laden‘s compound (combative Aries action), was a sudden “game-changer” and “defining moment” (Uranus) for his presidency, and for the overall, general perception (Moon-Uranus) of his presidency. Too, that is how unpredictable Uranus tends to operate, when its ray is stoked. It strikes with a characteristic swiftness, and its impact can then often change the trajectory of future events forever. It has been symbolically likened to a “bolt of lightning” coming out of the blue.

Obama also simultaneously has transiting Pluto, symbolizing rebirth, trining his natal Pluto now, another long-term aspect which can also mark a time of major transformation. Also that same aspect can be a “test of one’s power” (Pluto), a test of how one wields influence and control (Pluto) in the world. Pluto also governs and depicts the masses, and events that impact the mass population. Of course, he also made his decision when the Sun was exactly trine Pluto, in the sky, on Friday, and Mars was conjunct Jupiter in Aries, an aspect of adventure.

Also, as I am writing this, a “New York Times/CBS News” poll has just been released showing a big rise in Obama’s poll numbers, among both Republicans and Independents, in wake of the killing of Osama Bin Laden. According to the poll, 57% approve of his job performance, compared to 46% last month. Although, 6 in 10 Americans polled felt that bin Laden’s death was likely to increase the threat of terrorism against the U.S. in the short-term. Let’s pray the latter, is not the case.

Enjoy your day! Dare to be different (Moon-Uranus)! But, do be careful about imbibing too much of the Kool-Aid (Moon-Neptune) around mid-day. 🙂

COSMIC WEATHER:

“About half my designs are controlled fantasy, fifteen percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs.” Manolo Blahnik

Normally the Moon in “analytical” Virgo bodes well for our operating more logically and systematically. And, while hopefully, this will still be the case for us today, we do need to be aware that there is also now greater proclivity for some “fuzzy thinking” because not only is the Virgo Moon’s ruler, Mercury, still in retrograde phase, it is also stressfully aligned today (semisquare) with “let me blur the boundaries for you” Neptune in imaginative Pisces (the sign Neptune rules). Neptune is the planet of fantasy, so we will want to be “double-checking” our facts today. Too, if some of our ideas seem a little “weird” or “spacey” to us, it may be best not to act on them or give them voice in public (could garner some strange looks, or raised eyebrows, if we do.) 🙂

Of course, with Neptune ruling “make-believe” and Mercury ruling the “news,” some of us today, too, may be disillusioned or disheartened (Neptune) about the entertainment news from ABC yesterday that the network will be axing “All My Children,” and “One Life To Live.” Kelly Ripa on “Live With Regis and Kelly” today recalled her days on AMC which launched her career.

BTW, when both of these soaps debuted on TV (‘One Life To Live’ on 7/15/68 and ‘All My Children’ on 1/5/70), “fantasy Neptune” was a big factor in each of the shows’ respective horoscopes. ‘One Life to Live‘ debuted with the Sun exactly favorably trine to Neptune in sexual Scorpio, while ‘All My Children” went on the air with Mercury exactly sextile Neptune in Scorpio (another positive, dreamy aspect). Of course, we always ideally want to have Neptune well-aspected in a “soap-opera” horoscope since we are dealing with the realm of “make-believe,” and when Neptune’s ray is stoked, we are more willing to be led by our imagination. Neptune also rules television.

Are you a fan of both or either of these shows? How do you feel about their pending departure? Bummed out? Feel a little like you have lost a family member? While I was personally a huge fan of the old “Dallas” evening “soap opera” show on CBS-TV, many moons ago, and was devastated when it went off the air (loved Larry Hagman as “JR”), I have never even watched one episode of ‘One Life To Live,’ or ‘All My Children.’ Always too busy working during the daytime. Of course, I know of Susan Lucci, the star of ‘All My Children.’ Too, Oprah Winfrey recently did a show on soap opera stars and Susan was on that show.
