COSMIC WATCH:

“Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.” Buddha

With the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn all aligned in diplomatic Libra now, the sign of “the other,” our aim is to forge harmonious, working relationships with our fellow man. However, we may find this goal is put to the test today as we also have self-assertive Mars in proud Leo forming a quinqunx to controlling Pluto in calculating Capricorn which can, on the shadow side, incline us to selfishly pursue our agendas at all cost, regardless of the outcome or consequences to others. Of course, cultivating self-control and being willing to extend an olive branch, if needed, are two surefire strategies that can keep us in the winner’s circle.

Also, the Moon remains in perfecting Virgo all day, affording us a grand chance to properly tidy up, in case there are any misfires.

Astrology July 8, 2011: Venus Squares “Deep” Pluto, Moon in Libra

COSMIC WATCH:

 “Jealousy is that pain which a man feels from the apprehension that he is not equally beloved by the person whom he entirely loves.” Joseph Addison

The Moon remains in diplomatic Libra, however, she may have to perform double-duty to keep things copasetic  today. This is because we have sweet Venus, the ruler of relationships and romance, opposed to intense Pluto. Pluto stands guard over our subconscious, with Venus-Pluto often acting as a conduit for channeling our deeper, more complex emotions.

Too, often what we keep buried inside, can have a darker or more primitive vibration to it, as it hasn’t yet had a chance to be fully processed by our conscious awareness.  On the shadow side, Venus-Pluto has been linked with feelings of jealousy, manipulation, suspicion, and obsession, with Pluto also governing our urge for power and control.

If we feel toxic emotions rising to the surface now, instead of instinctively acting on them, we may be better off trying to probe and figure out why they are there in the first place. Venus-Pluto can be very healing in that it can help us arrive at a fresh awareness and understanding and then, accordingly, help us to purge from our behavior whatever is unhealthy.

Also, this aspect can be positive for “clearing the air” with others, as long as we do so in a manner that does not unduly invite resentment and anger. Hopefully, that is where the “polite” Libra Moon can come to our friendly assist today. Too, a good day to remember to, “make peace, not war.”

Enjoy your Friday!

Astrology June 28, 2011: Sun Opposite “Private Eye” Pluto

COSMIC WATCH:

“He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.” Lao Tzu

The Moon vacates self-indulgent Taurus for chatterbox Gemini (3:57 am EDT) quickening the pace of our responses and also making us keen on wanting to articulate our feelings with just about anybody who will give us five minutes.

We may even be willing to share some of our innermost, personal secrets today, as we have the illuminating Sun forming an opposition to “spy who loves me” Pluto (Pluto governs spies and espionage). Mysterious Pluto presides over our subconscious and when his shadowy ray is activated, we often “spill the beans” (purge) on private matters from A to Z. Too, the chatty Gemini Moon is more than happy to assist us here. 🙂

Sun-Pluto can be a very healing and transforming influence (Pluto rules rebirth), as it can serve to shine a light on certain things about ourselves, our motivations, etc., that we were previously unaware of, including suddenly making us aware of inner strengths or resources that we never knew we had before. Pluto rules the study of psychology and psychiatry.

When the Sun and Pluto are paired together, issues of power and control also tend to arise. Much of the time with this aspect, we are wanting more of both of these things. Too, because Pluto is connected with the hidden side of our nature, our darker impulses may manifest and we may be tempted to act in ways that could be described as more primitive. For instance, we may get more defensive and interpret things around us in more of a hostile or threatening manner, especially with the Sun in self-protective Cancer.

Again, the best antidote for any of this more unenlightened type behavior, is simply practicing self-awareness and keeping mindful of our mannerisms and inner stirrings. We also would be very wise to adopt more of a cooperative stance when dealing with others today versus unleashing our inner, unruly child.

IN THE NEWS: On the eve of this Sun-Pluto aspect being exact, late yesterday,  Illinois Governor, Rod Blagojevich, was found guilty of corruption and trying to sell President Obama’s Senate Seat. He could receive 20 years in prison. On the shadow side, Sun-Pluto reigns over corruption, manipulation, and misuse of power. Pluto is also in Capricorn, the sign of government officials.

On a more uplifting note, Rep. Gabrielle Gifford, also made her first, official, public appearance in six months, late yesterday, at a NASA event in Houston, with her astronaut husband, Mark Kelly. Gifford was shot in the head back in January during a mass shooting in Arizona. Her public appearance yesterday was certainly a more positive manifestation of this same Sun-Pluto energy. Too, with this influence, we often get a chance to see or witness things that have been hidden from view for a while. Gifford has been making a miraculous recovery from her injuries, again a testament to her own indomitable spirit and Pluto’s healing, transformational ray.

Enjoy your Tuesday!

Astrology June 23, 2011: Moon in Pioneering Aries

COSMIC WATCH

“Action conquers fear.” Peter Nivio Zarlenga

The Moon’s ingress into pioneering Aries (4:24 am) stokes our desire for new adventures. Luna’s conjunction with change-agent Uranus (1:24 pm) also acts to propel us into the future and potentially provides us with more of a platform to “do our own thing,” which the Aries Moon is already very receptive to doing.

“Loose cannon” Uranus is associated with individuality and non-conformity. It encourages us not to render cookie-cutter responses, so this alignment can be very refreshing and rejuvenating, especially if we are willing to be true to our authentic selves.

Later on, some possible resistance to our plans in the guise of the Moon’s square to controlling Pluto (5:08 pm) in authoritative Capricorn. This may be a good time to go inside ourselves and examine our behavior and see if there is perhaps something outworn in us that we can purge (Pluto) that will ideally add to our sense of agency or power. Moon-Pluto is thought to be a very effective cathartic/healing agent.

Hope it’s a good one!

Astrology February 16, 2011: Leo Moon “Big Hair Day”

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Ego has a voracious appetite. The more you feed it, the hungrier it gets.” Nathaniel Bronner Jr.

The nocturnal Moon shifts from nesting Cancer to big hair Leo (4:15 am). We long to hear the sound of applause and are eager to graciously take our bows on stage. The entertaining Leo Moon always desires a good measure of ego-stroking and self-glorification and is willing to “sing for its supper” in order to realize these things. Leo is the zodiacal sign that rules our talent and gifts.

The Moon’s dynamic trine to fortuitous Jupiter in new beginnings Aries (12:31 pm) also ideally helps to boost our creativity and optimism. Doors could suddenly open up for us with this aspect. We may want to maximize our exposure then and plant hopeful seeds of golden Leo opportunity.

We may, however, want to guard against being too controlling and dark when the Moon forms a funky quincunx to despot Pluto (3:28 pm). Too, we still have the volatile Sun conjunct Mars aspect which can unleash our aggressive urge. On the plus side, though, this same aspect can make us courageous.

Astrology December 27, 2010: Juggling Act with Luna Under Pressure

“For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is preparation.” Ranier Maria Rilke

Cosmic Weather:

The Moon starts out the day in efficient Virgo, but it may require a bit of a juggling act to keep everything a go, as the Moon has her monthly opposition to extravagant Jupiter (5:51 am) and rebellious Uranus (7:22 am). We ideally progress now by not overextending/overcommitting ourselves or unduly rocking the boat with others.

Later, the Moon’s entrance into relationship Libra (12:39 pm) poises us for more socialization. Partnering up, though, could be a stretch when Luna squares off with controlling Pluto (9:26 pm) and the authoritative Sun (11:20 pm) – unless we consciously, perhaps, make an effort to be more cooperative versus reactive. We may also help to preserve the peace by reigning in a tendency to be manipulative.
