Cosmic Weather:

A warm, amiable Sun-Venus conjunction in creative Leo (ideally) magnifies our wants and desires, our popularity, our artistic expression, our orientation towards cooperation, love, harmony, and celebration. This is a very lovely influence that can really make us want to beautify our life, our appearance, our surroundings. Natally, when people have Sun conjunct Venus in their charts, they’re usually very adept at being able to smooth things over, to make connections with others. Occurring in Leo, too, there can be quite a bit of flair for fashion, for drama or the theatrical, for attracting attention to ourselves in a potent, charming, or charismatic way.

On the flip side, however, this same Sun-Venus conjunction also forms an awkward quinqunx to investigative Pluto in “no-frills” (Saturn-ruled) Capricorn, which could potentially serve to temporarily arouse our suspicions or find us probing deeper into the shadows, looking for what may be broken, disturbed, or, seemingly, just “not quite right,” below the surface. This is not necessarily a bad thing – maybe more like performing a maintenance check or a diagnostic on our system after sensing something might be a bit off.

The waxing Moon is also in emotionally detached Aquarius today, which can help us to see things in a more intellectual light. This position for Luna can also incline us to be more experimental or non-conforming in our approach to matters. Sometimes, too, with Luna here we’re more willing to espouse or rally behind social or humanitarian causes.

Too, since we have a Full Moon in Aquarius tomorrow, we may really be getting a strong sense of things building up or culminating now. Full Moons tend to supply us with more illumination, or greater awareness. Occurring in Aquarius, too, perhaps we’re trying to figure out now our unique, special place in the world (Sun in Leo), where we can really shine but also, at the same time, give back something meaningful to the collective (Moon in Aquarius).

Numerologically, the day (8-14-2019) reduces down to a 5 (Mercury-ruled) and 7 (Neptune-ruled), so we do have a pronounced “changeability” or “back and forth” vibe going on, and a boost of mental stimulation. But, also a strong desire for dreams and inspiration.

“And I am all the things I have ever loved: scuppernong wine, cool baptisms in silent water, dream books and number playing.” Toni Morrison

On This Day in History: On August 14, 1965, Sonny and Cher’s “I Got You Babe” hits #1.

Hope it’s a good one!

Astrology for July 28, 2015: The Moon Trines Jupiter and Venus

When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.” Rumi

The Moon wraps up her stay in inquisitive Sagittarius with a flowing trine to benevolent, philosophical Jupiter in exuberant Leo (9:37 am). A wonderful opportunity for us to spread a touch of joy and goodwill around. Mark Twain once noted that “to get the full value of joy you must have someone to divide it with.” A warm, positive sentiment that is really a perfect fit, too, for this more upbeat Moon-Jupiter energy, which naturally serves to activate our “inner philanthropist”; also, our “inner Santa.” Psychology experts also say that we tend to feel better about ourselves when we are involved in activities in which we feel we’re making a contribution to the welfare of others – versus simply occupying ourselves with more self-serving kinds of endeavors. Moon-Jupiter aspects can also make us more aware of the legacy we’re leaving behind.

The Moon enters productive Capricorn, mid-afternoon (2:47 pm), harmoniously trining affectionate Venus in Virgo (3:44 pm). This cordial aspect should also help to put us in a more cooperative, easygoing spirit, particularly in the workplace (Virgo). It’s also a time when we can more effortlessly build upon our successes, as we seem to be able to more adeptly gauge exactly what our next steps should be to move ourselves forward now, with the Capricorn Moon innately having an affinity or talent for extracting from our past, whatever is most useful for us to know or entertain in the present moment. Others are also more apt or willing to help us achieve our goals now, especially when we approach them in a more pleasant, agreeable (Venusian) manner.

* All times EDT.

(Today’s Planetary Aspects: The Moon in social Libra trines curious Mercury, squares controlling Pluto, sextiles lovable Venus, opposes rules breaker Uranus, and sextiles philosophical Jupiter. The Moon is Void of Course at 7:22 pm until 1:57 pm on Friday when it enters investigative Scorpio. All times posted are for EDT.)

Cosmic Quote of the Day: “Nothing is ever lost by courtesy. It is the cheapest of pleasures, costs nothing, and conveys much.” Erastus Wiman

Polite behavior is something that most of us appreciate. It is a universal way to quickly convey respect for a person. Studies have also shown that politeness helps to put people at ease, which can go a long way in fostering strong relationships. Today’s gracious Moon in Libra naturally affords us a chance to put on our goodwill ambassador hat, although we may still face a couple diplomatic hurdles along the way via Luna’s square to intense Pluto (7:07 am), which can bring sudden urges to the forefront. Also, the Moon opposes erratic Uranus around the dinner hour (6:20 pm), a time when it might be wise to cut others more slack to do their own thing.

The Moon’s last aspect of the day, a warm sextile to generous Jupiter in Leo (7:22 pm), potentially helps spawn a desire to want to attend to the welfare or betterment of others. It can also put us in a relaxing mood in which we want to seek out fun and pleasurable activities, such as going to a night club, or maybe taking in a movie. Too, it’s a positive period for dealing with women. Additionally, our ability to be persuasive with others, is also enhanced.

Famous June 25 Birthdays: George Michael, Ricky Gervais, June Lockhart, Carly Simon, Sonia Sotomayor.

“I always think it’s interesting to dig a little deeper every time you go to someplace that seems like a revelation or a strong connection to an emotional truth.” Carly Simon

Astrology October 21, 2014: Moon Enters Cooperative Libra

21 Tuesday Oct 2014

“Nothing truly valuable can be achieved except by the unselfish cooperation of many individuals.” Albert Einstein

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon’s entrance into Venus-ruled, “cooperative” Libra (7:12 am EDT) encourages us to collaborate our efforts with others toward a common goal versus “going it alone,” a scenario that usually more naturally unfolds when we make a sincere effort to let others know that we value and respect their input and ideas. Philanthropist Jon M. Huntsman Sr. also wisely reminds us here that, “Life is not a game of Solitaire; people depend on one another.”

In addition to the Moon, we also have the Sun, Mercury, and Venus in “other-oriented” Libra, with the Sun and Venus getting ready to close in on the “anaretic” or 29th degree of Libra, within the next 24 hours. When planets are nearing the end of a sign, they are thought to have more of an “urgent” quality about them. Also, it’s often a time when we feel compelled to take “sudden action” on a matter – with the action, in keeping, with the nature of the planet at the anaretic degree.

The “Sun” symbolizes power, status, and the ego; “Venus” rules relationships, beauty, fashion, values, and money. Libra is represented by the “scales of balance” (justice) and governs the courts, marriage, and partnerships, and symbolizes, among other things, diplomats, judges, and counselors.

It could be that with the Sun and Venus, anaretic in Libra, some last-minute efforts are made to appease or placate others now; or sudden action is taken to enlist the support of others toward a cause; or overtures may be undertaken to preserve or restore the peace and balance in a relationship or delicate situation.

Too, on a collective level, with Venus and the Sun nearing the anaretic degree, there is the very sad news that Oscar De La Renta, the iconic fashion designer – a “Libra” profession – has died at the age of 82.  De La Renta recently designed George Clooney’s bride Amal Alamuddin’s wedding gown and has dressed every first lady since Jackie Kennedy. De La Renta had his natal Sun in Cancer, at the anaretic “29 degree” mark, with the Sun in an “out-of-sign” conjunction to “stylistic” Venus in “glamorous” Leo. Sun-Venus aspects denote artistry and creativity, in general. De La Renta was also, reportedly, a huge supporter and patron of the arts.

Question for Today: Do you think clothes “make a person?”

Astrology October 28, 2012: Mars Opposes Jupiter

COSMIC WATCH:

“If you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything.” Malcolm X

With assertive Mars exactly opposite truth-seeking Jupiter today, it is possible that we may feel more compelled to share with others what is true for us at our very core. Waxing philosophically or pontificating about our beliefs is very possible and can also be a very energizing and insightful outlet for us now, as long as we also allow others the same right to their own beliefs or opinions.

On the shadow side, Mars-Jupiter can occasionally incite sparring over religion, spirituality, politics or the law. This is usually due to an over-zealousness on our part, and or the belief that we hold a monopoly on the truth.

Additionally, Mars-Jupiter can inspire us to more risk-taking. Especially since we also have the Moon in adventurous Aries today and the Sun quinqunx to experimental Uranus. Again, though, we would be wise to thoroughly calculate the impact of any potential moves before engaging in any new actions. Too, the Moon is void of course all day.

Mental Mercury is also applying to a square to psychedelic Neptune, which is exact on Monday. This can be an aspect of confusion or illogical thinking. However, on the flip side, it can be very good for activities that utilize our creative imagination, as Neptune rules the power of visualization.

Lovable Venus also shifts into her home sign of social, refined Libra today where she will reside until November 22nd. Hopefully, this positioning will help to foster more of a cooperative spirit among us all and a rejection of uncouth behavior. “Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. ” Chief Seattle

Enjoy your Sunday! Be safe.

Astrology September 7, 2011: Moon Trines Lovable Venus

COSMIC WATCH:

The waxing Moon continues its stroll through “accomplishment” Capricorn and its easy trine to lovable Venus in “workplace” Virgo (12:22 pm EDT) bodes well for our being able to play nice with others while simultaneously pursuing our own powerhouse agendas. Too, it may be wise to keep in mind now that as we help others get what they want, this helps to ensure that we will also get what we require, as we all tend to want to do business with more agreeable (Venus) types who also show genuine interest in our affairs.

Of course, later in the day, the Moon’s monthly opposition to warrior Mars in “home alone” Cancer (4:36 pm EDT), stands ready to complicate our lives, if we choose to go down the prickly path of impatience and or defiance. It could be, too, that we have to work out some kind of amiable balance here, between our home or family interests and our business or career needs, especially if things are feeling somewhat disjointed.

“Our most basic instinct is not for survival but for family. Most of us would give our own life for the survival of a family member, yet we lead our daily life too often as if we take our family for granted.” Paul Pearshall

Daily Intention: I am thankful for the support and cooperation that I am receiving from others and grateful that I am able to help taxi others to the boulevard of their dreams.

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Astrology June 9, 2011: Venus, Planet of Love, Enters Gemini

09 Thursday Jun 2011

COSMIC WATCH:

“Love is the magician that pulls man out of his own hat.” Ben Hecht

The planet Venus, ruler of love and money, shifts into playful Gemini today (10:24 am EDT) vacating possessive Taurus. This may facilitate more movement and flexibility in our relationships and perhaps inspire more ingenuity with respect to our money-making ability. Venus in Gemini is more intellectual than emotional in its approach, and with its placement here, in the communication sign, there can be a real love of words and a deep affection for conversation and writing. Venus in Gemini also requires that we have a strong mental bond with someone before we give our tender heart away.  There is also more of a tendency to flirt or tease with this placement. Venus will stay in Gemini until July 4th which may be a romantic boon for natives of this sign.

Too, wherever Venus is transiting by house (area of life) in our personal horoscopes now is where we may see an easing of conditions and opportunity for forming positive new relationships, especially once Saturn goes direct in partnership Libra on June 12th. Venus rules our “power of attraction.” (BTW, yours truly has her lovable Venus in Gemini. I consider it to be one of my saving graces.)

Of course, very rarely is anything in the cosmos ever simple to figure out. The very same day that we have love maven Venus entering breezy Gemini, we also have assertive Mars in stubborn Taurus forming a more challenging 135-degree link (sesquiquadrate) to controlling Pluto in career Capricorn.  Always with Mars-Pluto under stress, there is a risk that the hidden despot in us may try to surface (this is an aspect linked to regime changes). Accordingly, we may want to monitor ourselves more closely and be willing to rein ourselves in, at a moment’s notice, when we see that our proposals and plans for the future etc., are not going over too well and enemy troops are circling all around us. 🙂

Too, there is also the chance that we can encounter this type of controlling, forceful, or inflexible behavior through others now (maybe the boss with Pluto in authoritative Capricorn). The Moon, too, is in workaholic Virgo today (until 6:32 pm EDT).

Mars-Pluto can additionally force us to deal with broken situations in need of immediate repair. Pluto denotes destruction or decay followed by hopeful rebirth or transformation. A good day perhaps for recycling and purging. We may also want to be more vigilant with money and possession matters, and try to minimize our risk or exposure there, as Mars in dollar sign Taurus linked with Pluto potentially has financial implications.Too, we do not want to be manipulative (Pluto) now with our resources, as that could backfire on us.

The Moon enters diplomatic Libra this evening (6:32 pm EDT) and also trines lady Venus herself (7:17 pm EDT), the ruler of Libra, which may help to negate or subdue any of the coarser, testosterone-laden Mars-Pluto energy still permeating the ether. Libra, the sign of “the other,” tends to make us more social and cooperative with each other. It is the sign of peace. John Lennon was a Libra. Need I say more?

In the News: With expansive Jupiter in acquisition-minded Taurus exactly sextile to Neptune in Pisces yesterday, Exxon announced that it has made a major oil discovery in the Gulf of Mexico. Neptune rules oil. Chiron also stationed retrograde in Pisces yesterday, the sign that Neptune rules. BTW, the very day Chiron first entered Pisces in the spring of 2010, we had the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Astrology April 17, 2011: Full Moon in “Relationship” Libra

17 Sunday Apr 2011

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Few delights can equal the presence of one whom we trust utterly.” George MacDonald

The Full Moon in “partnership” Libra today at 27 degrees (10:45 pm EDT) puts a focus on our relationships with others. The Full Moon opposes the Sun in “self-discovery” Aries. When we have opposing energies, we are always needing to find a balance between the two forces. Here we are trying to balance our needs for cultivating our own healthy self-development while at the same time kindling or maintaining fulfilling relationships with others, something that many of us characteristically find rather difficult to do. Full Moons also help us glean “full awareness” of situations in our life, by “shedding more light” on them.

Too, with the Sun, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Uranus all presently positioned in Aries, we have a plethora of energy now for “self-focus.”  Also, as a result of this “Aries” thrust, many of us are learning new things about ourselves, and as we acquire this new self-knowledge, there can be corresponding impact on our external relationships. Often as we change and grow, so does everything else around us.

“Karma Lord” Saturn is also presently in the sign of Libra to teach us more wisdom on how to get along with others. Often with Saturn, too, we acquire this wisdom through the “school of hard knocks.” In other words, learning from our struggles and setbacks. Our breakups and heartaches.

Too, perhaps simply keeping in mind some of the “Libra keywords” now, such as diplomacy, cooperation, consideration, fairness, and politeness, and incorporating them as actions into our daily lives, may go a long way towards creating the “self versus others” balance that we are all striving for. Also, isn’t it so true, that when we help others achieve what they want, it helps us to get what we want? Something we may also want to take note of today, particularly with the energetic lineup in “self-serving” Aries, which is perennially searching for “what’s in it for me?”

The only aspect that the Full Moon in Libra is making is a quinqunx (adjustment) aspect to Venus, the planet of love and beauty. Venus is also the natural ruler of Libra. Venus is in “surrendering” and “caring” Pisces now (the sign representing our ‘link to the divine’), where she longingly yearns for the removal of all boundaries in her quest to be engulfed completely by love. Possibly yet another admonishment to us to somehow find a way to integrate our more egocentric, “temporal” nature with our more enduring, selfless, “divine” being.

“It is divinity that shapes, not only your ends, but also your acts, your words and thoughts.” Swami Sivananda
