This Date In History:

November 22, 1968

Beatles release Beatles also dubbed the White Album, the group’s only double album. It was called the White Album because it did not have any text or graphics on it, only the word “Beatles” on a plain white backdrop.

Many of the songs in the double album showcase experimentation with music from a hodgepodge of unexpected genres including 1930s dance hall music and chamber music. At the time, the usage of these diverse styles into one album was pretty unprecedented on the pop music scene. Most of the songs were reportedly inspired during transcendental meditation sessions with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in Rishikesh, India in the spring of 1968.

John Lennon’s female companion and artistic collaborator, Yoko Ono, was also present with him for the first time in the recording studio for the production of the album, something that would later become more and more commonplace.

Eric Clapton played lead guitar on George Harrison’s While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Other songs in the White Album: Dear Prudence, Back In The U.S.S.R., and Revolution 9. In 2003, the album was reportedly ranked number ten on Rolling Stones list of  “The 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time.”

When the White Album was released on Nov. 22nd, Expansive Jupiter in Artistic Libra was tightly conjunct Genius Uranus in the sky, with Uranus serving as a chief instigator of the Counterculture in the 60s. Mental Mercury was also conjunct Mystical Neptune, who was seriously meditating away with the Maharishi, too, in Probing Scorpio. Energizer Mars in Creative Libra was also exactly square to Libra’s ruler Venus in Business Capricorn, another indicator of artistic expression.

With Dream Big Jupiter conjoined Rebel Uranus, there is often a deep need to “experiment” and “change things up.”   Perhaps why we have the merging of the different musical genres on the double album. Uranus symbolizes the wacky scientist experimenting in the laboratory. Too, with Jupiter-Uranus,  Jupiter characteristically acts as a big cheerleader for the latter, goading him on in his constant quest for “new significant breakthroughs.”

The Illuminating Sun had also just entered Adventurous Sagittarius that day, just like today.  It was harmoniously sextile to both Jupiter and Uranus, acting as a “trigger” to that planetary duo’s more “non-traditional” or “oddball” brand of creativity.

We also have Jupiter conjunct Uranus again now, this time in Neptune-ruled Pisces, a creative sign also associated with musical and artistic achievement.   Just last week, with Jupiter getting ready to station direct in Pisces, Apple announced that its iTunes service would start selling Beatles music. Interestingly, too, when the White Album was being recorded, the Beatles were simultaneously debuting their new “Apple Corps,” a multimedia business enterprise. Seems what goes around, comes around.

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope September 19, 2010: Strange Ideas

“It is our illusions that create the world.” Didier Cauwelaert

COSMIC WEATHER:

We need to watch ourselves “closely” today, as we may be invaded by all kinds of “weird, strange ideas” via the Sun’s queer “quinqunx” aspect to “I’m Purely A Figment Of Your Imagination” Neptune. Anytime Sun-Neptune pair up, things get a little “foggy” for us. Our judgment “gets cloudy.” There’s also ample opportunity to become “big time delusional” with this duo, as our imagination can easily “overtake us.” However, we also need to clarify here that this “delusional thinking” thing does NOT extend to our thoughts and feelings about George Clooney and also his feelings for us. We’re crazy about George Clooney and we know for a fact that he feels the same way about us! Don’t you, George?

Another spooky realm with Sun-Neptune is people “lying to us,” or at least “stretching the truth.” We also would be wise, ourselves, not to tell any “big lies” to others today, as there could be “serious fall-out” for us later, if we do. (Notice how I also said “big lies.” “Small lies” or “white lies,” are perfectly acceptable to tell and generally “unavoidable” and “needed” in the course of daily living to preserve the peace and save face, don’t you agree? Especially telling white lies about our age, weight, and whether we’ve had cosmetic surgery. Of course we’re going to “lie” about all those things! Also another acceptable lie: “Honey, do I look fat in this dress?” “No, you look great! (big fate lie!).” I did, however, date a guy once who did “lie” to me about his age and, frankly, that did bother me quite a bit.  He kept the lie going to me, too, for several years, before I finally found out that he was actually five years older than what he originally told me. Felt like a fool when I did find this out and also very deceived. What other crap did he lie to me about? So, maybe it’s a “bad thing” for “men” to lie about their ages, but still “okay” for “women” to lie about their ages.  Or maybe men can lie about their ages, too, but they need to come clean about this lie in a reasonable period of time. What do you think?)

On the bright side today, we do also have, perhaps, a “tighter grip on reality,” this go-round with Sun-Neptune, because the Moon is now in “Objective” Aquarius, which is suppose to endow us with miraculous ability to “coolly detach” from our emotions and thoughts.  Let’s hope that this “detached ability” comes through for us today. On the plus side, too, Sun-Neptune can be highly creative. And, it also has strong “mystical overtones” to it.

As always, with the “Progressive, Group-Friendly” Aquarian Moon, this is a good time to immerse ourselves in social activities with friends, clubs, or perhaps partake in humanitarian outlets, which would be a very good thing for all of us to do.  Too, with the “spacey” Sun-Neptune vibe, some of us may want to retrieve our hippie beads and bell bottoms and form a “temporary commune” maybe out in our back yards. Channel “fond memories” (at least what we can still recall) from the “good ole’ days.”

“Don’t trust anyone over thirty.”

“Make love, not war.”

“Tune in, drop out.”

“What’s your sign, man?”

“That’s groovy!”

Celebrity Birthday: Bill Medley of The Righteous Brothers is having his 70th birthday today.  Bill was born with his Sun, Mars, and Neptune tightly conjunct in Virgo. His Virgo planets are also harmoniously trine to Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus, all conjunct together in Taurus, which rules the voice.  And, what a heavenly voice Bill has.

Was talking earlier in the blog about “Sun-Neptune” and how we had to “watch out” for this aspect today, as it can sometimes do “strange things to our psyches, including hijacking them, at least temporarily.”  Well, while the “shadow side” of this aspect can incite delusional thoughts, stimulate ego-denying experiences, and generate other assorted difficulties in various and sundry ways, the upside to it is that it can also be a “phenomenally creative” aspect.

If you’re a musician, singer, painter, actor, photographer, film-maker, or dancer, Sun-Neptune is one of the best aspects to have because it gives a fertile imagination and the ability to visualize and conceptualize, often to the point of genius. It also gives incredible “psychic sensitivity,” and can make one deeply compassionate.

Bill’s Energizing Mars also conjoins his Sun-Neptune, intensifying his creative instincts even more. Elvis Presley had his Mars-Neptune midpoint exactly conjunct his midheaven (10th house of career). With Mars-Neptune, or Sun-Neptune, there is natural ability to be able to almost “hypnotically connect” with the public.  It’s a very mesmerizing, dreamy aspect, especially for an entertainer or performer to have.  And we want our entertainers to be able to transport us to “other realms” through their craft, don’t we? That’s all part of the imaginative “Neptunian” experience. So next time you “get lost” in a song, realize that you’re having a “Neptune” moment. Embrace the magic of it.  Let it “set you free.”

NEWS UPDATE:

With the Sun exactly quinqunx Neptune today (Neptune rules the sea and oil), WSJ.com is reporting that BP’s blown-out oil well in the Gulf of Mexico has been declared “dead.” The 150 degree quinqunx aspect indicates an “altered” or “adjusted” state.  In this case, part of the sea’s terrain (the oil well) is “adjusted.”

Also notable here is the exact Jupiter and Uranus’ conjunction in Neptune-ruled Pisces which can indicate “breakthroughs” (in the “Pisces sea”). So two powerful forces at play here.

Additionally, we have the powerfully energizing Mars in Scorpio sextile to healing Pluto, an aspect denoting “transformation” and “release.” (Pluto also rules wells and “depth experiences.”) Knowing that this well is now “dead” (a Scorpio state) will hopefully spawn a ” transformational healing” process in many, including the sea itself.

Also, WSJ.com is reporting that Sahara India Pariwar is in talks to buy Metro-Goldwyn Mayer (MGM) for more than $2 billion dollars. This story also ties in with the Sun quinqunx Neptune today and the Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Pisces, as Neptune and Pisces rule film-making studios and motion pictures. The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction can bring about “sudden developments” and “new opportunities.”

Patricia’s Daily Astrology Horoscope August 7, 2010: Elvis Lives On

“You never lose by loving, you always lose by holding back.”  Barbra De Angelis

COSMIC WEATHER:

Moon continues in Nesting Cancer.

But far from a typical day on the cozy homefront.

We’re still in the clutches of “Venus opposite Uranus,” an electrifying aspect of “sudden love,” or “sudden infatuation,” with shadings to it of the rebellious sixties and the corresponding hippie counterculture, that was inspired, in large part, by Uranus.

This opposition aspect is part of the ongoing, very powerful, “Cardinal Cross” aspect, raging unattended in the sky now. This energy is a big game-changer, in many ways, and not just for the present period. Its legacy will play out for a long time to come, as individuals incarnating to Earth now will also be “locked in” with this type of highly-charged, “change-oriented” energy burning inside of them.

“Elvis Presley,” a Capricorn, comes to mind here as someone who was born with a rare “Cardinal Square,” (if you also count a wider orb for his Mars aspects), involving some of the same planets as today, including Uranus in Aries.  We know how he single-handedly managed to “change the world of music” and impact the world. “Uranus,” which is associated with “genius,” was in Elvis’s fifth house of talent.

Also, getting back specifically to Venus-Uranus: For those faithful horoscope readers with short-term memories, Venus again rules “love” and “relationships,” while Uranus, as we just mentioned, rules “change” and “innovation,” and intrinsically acts in ways that are “non-conforming” and revolutionizing.

Get these two energies together, and also throw in today’s sentimental Cancer Moon, with its deep fondness for living in the past (even though we also have a potent”change influence” occurring now), and we have all the ingredients for a serious “hippie meet-up and revival,” which is exactly what is playing out downstairs in our study.

Romantic Matchmaker, Venus in Libra, with her dizzying penchant and fondness for party-planning, has orchestrated for this evening, along with Uranus, a psychedelic “love-in” for aging hippies, released cautiously for a Saturday night out (with certain restrictions), from the Shady Tree Retirement Home down the road.

Venus and Uranus already have batches of those “funny-tasting brownies” baking in the oven. Their weird, odorous aroma, making us “slightly hallucinatory” at this time.

“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.” Joseph Campbell

Famous August 7th Leo Birthdays: David Duchovny (50), Garrison Keillor (68)

Enjoy your Saturday!

Peace and love!

I’ll try to make it back by on Sunday for another horoscope round.  Not sure now, though, whether I can. It all sort of depends on whether George Clooney “comes a callin” at my door Saturday night. Hope springs eternal.

Patricia’s Daily Astrology Horoscope June 30, 2010: Hippie Escape

“People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself.  But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates.” Thomas Szasz

“Cosmic Word Of The Day”: Quest

Definition: 1) a search or pursuit made in order to find or obtain something

Origin: 1275-1325; (n.) ME queste < OF < L quaesita ptp. of quaerere to seek

COSMIC WEATHER:

ALL POINTS BULLETIN: “An undetermined number of “hippies” have reportedly escaped from the Shady Tree Retirement Home. If you should happen to see one or more of these escapees, you are urged to call Cosmic Crimestoppers at 007007. You could earn a cash reward or earn enough points to get you some free pot and pans.”

There is considerable concern today that this escape could be followed by more hippie breakouts from other institutions across the country, even the military.  What we’re looking at here is the Moon still in Counterculture Aquarius coming to a conjunction with Escapist Neptune (6:04 pm EDT).  Then we have the worrisome Moon entering Neptune’s own home turf, Nirvana-seeking Pisces (at 9:11 pm EDT).

Adding fuel to the hippie wanderlust is the radical Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in “I Believe I Can Still Shake Things Up” Aries.

I want to advise everyone to be vigilant the next few days. Keep your doors locked and your private stash hidden.  And, remember to pray for our Hippie Elders.  That they may find and inhale whatever it is they are looking for on their mystical quest.

“One may understand the Cosmos, but never the Ego; the self is more distant than any star.” G.K. Chesterton

Famous June 30th Birthdays: Fantasia Barrino (25), Mike Tyson (43)

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Make love, not war.
