Cosmic Weather:

“Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.” – Herman Hesse

This Tuesday morning, Luna in Scorpio is in her Waning Crescent Phase, and sextile to both the empowering Sun (7:36 am) and transformational Pluto in Capricorn (9:27 am) – a period which is perceived to be a boon – at least on paper – for any kind of purging, decluttering, or refurbishing projects, including on the corporate or business front.

Tomorrow, too, the annual Sun-Pluto conjunction will become exact. Often that pairing poises us to want to, among other things, closely scrutinize matters in a determined bid to exposing any possible weaknesses or kinks in the underlying infrastructure of things so we have a better idea of what maybe needs to be either shored up or pitched or possibly even reformulated. Pluto is linked with X-ray vision and tends to reveal what is hidden in the depths. This morning’s lunar aspects could also be a bit of a preview or test-run for what follows tomorrow.

And, of course, we also have homing pigeon Mercury stationing direct in Capricorn tomorrow.

In between all that, Luna will also shift into freedom-loving Sagittarius around lunchtime today (12:33 pm), which usually serves to stoke our visionary side.

*All times EST

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

Cosmic Weather:

“We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.” – J.K. Rowlin

This Friday the 13th the empowering Sun in ambitious Capricorn forms a closing sextile to transpersonal Neptune in Pisces (9:11 am). This more subtle influence sometimes nudges us to go beyond the normal confines of our personal egos to perhaps find some common ground or common purpose that can seemingly bring us all together – allow us to maybe temporarily dissolve or suspend our differences, particularly on a deeper emotional level. It is associated with the bestowal of empathy as well as compassion.

It can also sometimes serve to remind us, in the process, of the more fragile, tenuous nature of life itself as we navigate through the ever-complicated mysteries or complexities of daily life on the earth plane – never really knowing, from minute-to-minute, what may transpire next.

Additionally, with Neptune governing fantasy and imagination, today’s Sun-Neptune sextile may be a boost for our creativity.

*All Times EST

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

Astrology January 12, 2023: Mars Stations Direct in Gemini

Cosmic Weather:

“Were it not for the leaping and twinkling of the soul, man would rot away in his greatest passion, idleness.” – Carl Jung

On this second Thursday of January, perceived energy dynamo Mars – which is also thought to signify motivation, assertion, and aggression – finally stations direct in the communication and travel sign of Gemini today, at 8 degrees (3:56 pm) – after a more than two-month retrograde cycle which began on October 30th.

Too, if you remember, it was also around that same time – October 27th, to be precise – that Elon Musk acquired the social media platform Twitter for $44 billion. (Most definitely, lots of wild twists and turns with that one!)

Also, free speech and content moderation – both Gemini-ruled areas – have become pretty hot topics, really flashpoints for discussion, since Musk became Chief Twit at the company.

Also, yesterday’s massive FAA computer system outage that temporarily brought nearly all air travel to a total halt in the US was occurring at the same time mover and shaker Mars was pretty much motionless in the sky, ahead of today’s official direct stationing. Perhaps also symbolizing a final bit of icing on the Mars Rx-Mercury Rx double-layer cake! 🙂

So anyway, the bright hope today among many stargazers such as myself, is that with galvanizing Mars seemingly springing into direct motion again we will also, likewise, reclaim the spring in our step, in the days and weeks ahead (Mars will be in its shadow until mid-March) – assuming we have lost it, of course, in the first place – and go on to resume doing even greater things in the world, with the Mars Rx phase theoretically marking a pause period when we were, more or less, rethinking, redoing, overhauling many of our dashing Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dance steps in our already very crammed-full heads (thanks, in part, to all the Mars in Gemini heightened cognitive activity!)

Too, at the risk of becoming kind of misty-eyed here – even those of us with two left feet – are even beginning to feel a bit more optimistic now about the promising possibilities ahead. Just have to take down Mercury Rx in Capricorn on the 18th and we will pretty much be all set! One down, one to go! 🙂

Astrology January 11, 2023: A Grand Earth Trine

Cosmic Weather:

“Thinking: the talking of the soul with itself.” – Plato

This second Wednesday in January, we are treated to a Grand Earth Trine – courtesy of skilled maven Luna in Virgo. This type of configuration is created when a trio of planets in the Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn) form an equilateral triangle of three trines in the sky. In a nutshell, it is thought to be a boon for productivity and delivering concrete results.

Luna forms the first leg of this Grand Trine to intellectual Mercury Rx in Capricorn (9:58 am). Ideally, an excellent time to gather/reflect upon our thoughts or partake in constructive dialogue with others. We may also have more insight into the inner workings of our emotions at this time.

Too, if we have to speak or present things publicly today – particularly of a business or corporate nature – this Moon-Mercury trine may be a more advantageous time to do so since this flow of more pragmatic energy naturally lends itself well to discussing more granular topics such as facts and figures, presiding over spreadsheet presentations, detailing quarterly forecasts/reports etc. (although with Mercury Rx, there could still be some revisions with these matters, down the road).

Luna’s trine to inventive Uranus Rx in Taurus (4:17 pm). This completes the second leg of the Moon’s Grand Trine. It is a period in which we may be more experimental or spontaneous in our approaches, including perhaps with respect to managing our finances, possessions, or investments. It may also be a time when we enjoy social interactions with large groups of people or involvement in cause-related or civic activities. On an emotional level, we may feel a special burst of aliveness.

*All times EST

Born On This Day: William James (January 11, 1842 – August 26, 1910). James was an American philosopher, historian, and psychologist, and the first educator to offer a psychology course in the United States. James is considered to be a leading thinker of the late 19th century:

“We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep.”

Astrology January 10, 2023: Luna Exits Leo, Shifts into Virgo

Cosmic Weather:

“What we truly need to do is often what we most feel like avoiding.” – David Allen

Somewhat quieter on the celestial front today as we await Mars stationing direct in Gemini on Thursday.

The transition from Leo to Virgo is always rather stark, isn’t it? As we are essentially going from wanting to be the “life of the party” to officially becoming part of the late night “clean-up crew!” 🙂

Ideally, the Moon’s two-day transit of Virgo now will help us to become more self-disciplined, efficient, and productive. More solution minded. Allow us to build up or flex our organizational muscles. And hopefully inspire us to, overall, take better care of ourselves – body, mind, and spirit. It is also generally regarded as an excellent time to set up new daily routines or habits.

“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” – Jim Ryun

(Moon exits Leo and enters Virgo 10:15 am.)

*All times EST

Born On This Day: American singer Pat Benatar [Andrezejewski] in Brooklyn NY. Benatar is turning 70 today! “Love Is A Battlefield” remains one of Benatar’s best songs: it rose to No. 5 on the Hot 100, her highest place on the chart to date.

On This Day in History: RCA introduces the 45 RPM record in 1949. A format that would revolutionize pop music.

Astrologically, that day, intellectual Mercury and pioneering Mars were in a tight, two-degree conjunction in inventive Aquarius, the sign formally ruling technology. Mercury and Mars pairings can also often signal big events or situations that grab or generate the headlines. Meanwhile, artistic Venus in Gemini, governing music and the arts, was also in an exact opposition with revolutionizing Uranus in Sagittarius, the modern-day ruler of Aquarius. Venus also reflects what provides us with pleasure or amusement and often when linked with Uranus we long for a change of pace, including sometimes seeking out radically new experiences/people/situations that make us feel more alive.

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

Cosmic Weather:

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

This Monday morning, the “Cosmic Lovers” are aligned in the sky, ideally boding well for romance or matters of the heart as well as socializing and endeavors that require cooperation or points of agreement. With Mars Rx, it is also possible that people or situations from our past somehow re-enter the picture now.

Too, with Mars in its retro phase, we may find that we are not quite as direct or forward as we normally might be, although we may still feel inside us a plethora of competitive and creative juices converging at this time.

Waning Luna will also remain in self-expressive Leo all day, which should lend more of a supportive portal for the manifestation of this more harmonious trine energy. Too, with this alignment occurring in air signs, we may feel a bit of an intellectual lift throughout the day.

(Venus in Aquarius Trine Mars Rx in Gemini, 10:22 am. Waning Moon in Leo Quincunx Sun in Capricorn, 12:25 pm.)

On This Day in History:  On January 9, 2007, Steve Jobs announced the first iPhone at the Macworld convention, receiving substantial media attention. Jobs announced that the first iPhone would be released later that year. On June 29, 2007, the first iPhone was released. (Wikipedia)

Astrologically, on 1/09/2007, communicator Mercury was in a tight conjunction with the empowering Sun in corporate Capricorn – an aspect that we also just had, this past weekend – and a time when we tend to be privy to important messages or communiques that can impact or shape our world in meaningful ways. Expansive Jupiter in futuristic Sagittarius was also applying (2 degrees) to an exact square to innovative Uranus, ruling technology – an aspect that I have frequently mentioned before here that is often thought to be linked with elements of genius (Uranus is the higher octave of intellectual Mercury). Jupiter’s activated ray also tends to extend the size and scope of things. Additionally, pioneering Mars in Sagittarius had also just completed an exact trine to structuring Saturn in creative Leo – suggesting a payback after a period of hard work.

“An iPod, a phone, an internet mobile communicator… these are NOT three separate devices! And we are calling it iPhone! Today Apple is going to reinvent the phone. And here it is.” – Steve Jobs

Cosmic Weather:

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” – Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!

Mercury Rx in Capricorn Trine Uranus Rx in Taurus (6:23 pm): This aspect can be very mentally stimulating. It can inspire us to want to learn new things, help us to craft new, sometimes even ingenious solutions to old problems. We also may be more prone now to speaking our minds – although with Mercury nestled in cautious Capricorn, we may still prefer to have at least some kind of personal filter or content moderation system in place, lest we inadvertently draw the scrutiny of the FBI or something. 🙂 At the same time, we may not necessarily wig out now either, if we see someone bending or breaking the rules, especially if we see some utility or wisdom in doing that sort of thing as we suspect that some of the old way of thinking or systems in place may be possibly irrelevant or misguided or even obsolete with respect to what we and others are trying to achieve at the moment.

Additionally, this aspect can fire up our intuition as well as make us more eager to deviate from our daily routines. We also may be more attracted to unusual types of people, be more cause-oriented, or find ourselves in novel situations that require new adaptive responses on our part.

We first had this Mercury trine Uranus aspect on December 17th. We will also have it a third or final time on January 29th when both Mercury and Uranus will be direct; Mercury stations direct on January 18th and Uranus follows suit on January 22 – just a day after the Uranus-ruled New Moon in Aquarius.

It is also possible that today we are revisiting a matter that we first dealt with on December 17th, perhaps seeing it in a new light now.

Waning Luna is also spending her first full day in creative, magnanimous Leo today, having shifted into that sign, late yesterday. Luna’s sextile to Mars Rx in Gemini (2:19 pm) signals a time to take the lead or show initiative in matters. It also favors physical activity or workouts.

Cosmic Weather:

“We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” – Joseph Campbell

Sun in Capricorn forms a Waning Trine to Uranus Rx in Taurus (11:43 am) – We appear to be more receptive to altering or tweaking some of our strategies or plans now and revisions that are made seem to be less of a stretch for us as they may have been things that were already at least blips on our radar screen, so to speak, so we are not necessarily thrown for a loop at this point. Additionally, we may be more open to experimentation or trying out new methodologies or technologies especially if we feel that by doing so, we can save both time and money.

Also, we should keep in mind that the Sun in Capricorn characteristically operates in more of a utilitarian manner and will do whatever it needs in order to not only survive but thrive. At the same time, there may also be a burgeoning desire now to want to do our own thing without having to endure too much external interference. It’s like, we will do what we need to do; however, we are not going to allow others to rain on our parade without launching at least some kind of resistance unless we feel that doing so would be counterproductive. Too, with the more harmonious trine aspect, hopefully things will just sort of fall into place on their own and that will be that.

Luna also exits chatty Gemini this morning (9:15 am), ending a long void of course period with its entrance into protective Cancer. And then, of course, we will have the Full Moon in Cancer, tomorrow evening (6:08 pm).

Too, around lunchtime today (12:50 pm) Luna will form a square to Jupiter in Aries – an influence that tends to magnify our emotions as well as possibly accentuate our ideological side. There could also be a bit of a tug-of-war going on here now regarding how best to preserve elements of the past while at the same time welcoming in new horizons. Of course, the Sun-Uranus influence points us more in the direction of the future. A solution seems to be to take what you need from the past but do not overload on it. Set a limit on the baggage allowed on board just like the airlines. 🙂

Cosmic Weather:

“I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.” – Herman Hesse, Siddhartha

Venus in Aquarius sextile Jupiter in Aries (4:08 am) – This more pleasant, feel-good aspect – often linked with the bestowal or arrival of love, generosity, and kindness – suggests that some good fortune or positive karma may be in the cards for us today! Wouldn’t that be nice?

Too, while it’s not necessarily a huge aspect, it can be a time when we feel a bit more optimistic or hopeful. Especially when we are perhaps gathered with friends or loved ones, or simply doing things that we enjoy. It’s often a great time to have a party. Or to mingle with new people from diverse backgrounds – especially now with Venus in eclectic Aquarius.

Also, it could be that this potentially nice cosmic payback is in humble recognition for some of the accumulated good that we have somehow managed to generate in the world to date – despite, sometimes, the onerous presence of many overriding, contradictory, inherent behavioral tendencies, within our delicate being, that often causes us to seemingly screw up much of what we touch. Psychiatrists call these tendencies the “reverse Midas Touch” or the “Midas-less Touch.” Too, if you were watching C-SPAN yesterday you maybe witnessed Kevin McCarthy displaying a few symptoms, of this condition – on the House floor – after the third vote was counted,

Too, it is really fascinating, astrologically – the correlation – that we now have no Speaker of the House at a time when ‘speaker’ Mercury in Capricorn – the sign which rules government – is also retrograde. Along with mover or shaker Mars retrograde, which is essentially at a standstill now, in the heavens, in Mercury-ruled Gemini – ahead of his direct station on January 12. Maybe I’m making too much of all of this. But it just strikes me as hugely symbolic for the moment. Too, feel free to weigh in here, if you like.

Anyway, reportedly nothing can get done now – no sausage can be made, so to speak – in the People’s House – until a new speaker is selected.

Historically, the speaker vote has not gone past a first ballot since 1923 – when lawmakers needed nine ballots to pick a leader.

Astrology January 3, 2023: Moon Conjuncts Mars Rx in Gemini

Cosmic Weather:

“Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.” – e. e. cummings

Luna – now in her Waxing Gibbous phase with 89% illumination – will spend her first full day in busy Gemini after shifting into that sign late last night. In Gemini, the Moon is more communicative and inquisitive. She is often particularly curious about what is going on in her immediate environment, including perhaps wanting to know what her neighbors are up to. Or maybe wondering who that stranger is walking down her street and why that person is there in the first place? Luna in Gemini reminds me a little of the nosy next-door neighbor Gladys Kravitz in the old “Bewitched” television series. Do you remember her? Always staring out her front window with a pair of binoculars, invariably looking aghast by what she sees.

A focal point for Luna today will be her conjunction with Mars Rx (2:47 pm) which ought to be interesting as Mars – which will be stationing direct on January 12 – is right now barely moving in the sky and will not even get back to some semblance of its normal speed until early February.

Moon-Mars conjunctions are usually synonymous with our taking some kind of action. But sometimes that action is undertaken too hastily so we may need to be on guard that we don’t inadvertently trip ourselves up with this one. And, of course, too, Mars is retrograde and Mercury – which rules Gemini – is also retrograde in Capricorn, stationing direct on January 18th, so it is possible that any action that we do take now will end up having to be revised or changed later – so we may want to just keep that in mind. However, this is often a very good aspect for physically working out, especially as a way to dissolve tension or stress or to perhaps get working on some of those New Year’s resolutions to become fitter.

Also, lest I forget, sometimes another possible shadow-side manifestation of a Moon-Mars hookup is that we fly off the handle and feel like giving everyone the finger! Not that any of us gathered here would actually do anything like that, mind you. 🙂 Just that the chance for something like this to occur might be a little more pronounced now – especially if we do not try to rein ourselves in and pause and take a few deep breaths.

Too, perhaps this is not really the most ideal cosmic climate for republican Kevin McCarthy to be facing today as he hopes to become ‘speaker of the house’ as a new divided congress convenes on Capitol Hill today for the very first time. Reportedly, he is already facing serious pushback from a few republicans who say that they will not vote for him for that position. Interesting to see what might or might not develop here. While I also really don’t care to wade into politics – as that has become such a divisive topic – I do wish that more of our elected officials would at least try to get along with each other and just do what we voted them into office to do. There, I’ve said my piece! – which was pretty much inevitable under this chatty Gemini Moon.

“Pull the string and it will follow you wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere at all.” Dwight D. Eisenhower
