Astrology December 19, 2019: Mars Sextile Saturn, Mercury Square Neptune

Cosmic Weather:

(Mars in Scorpio forms a waning sextile to Saturn in Capricorn, 4:59 am.; Mercury in Sagittarius forms a waning square to Neptune in Pisces, 11:19 pm.)

Today, we are likely better off just going with what we know and playing by the rules  (Mars sextile Saturn), while putting off pondering the ambiguous or oblique (Mercury square Neptune) for another day. 🙂

Motivating Mars sextile structuring Saturn is excellent energy for invoking self-discipline, working diligently at projects, getting organized, creating order, bringing long-standing matters to completion. It can be a time when our patience and persistence are rewarded.

While there is not a whole lot of fanfare to this aspect, it is a great influence for rendering a solid performance, especially when we are working within our strength or comfort zones.

With Mars also deposited in reconfiguring Scorpio, it’s possible that our actions or efforts now may be generating some measure or sense of transformation or feeling of inner renewal.

On the shadow side, logical Mercury squaring fantasy Neptune, the planet of deception, can potentially challenge us mentally, making it harder to sort out fact from fiction. Our imaginations also tend to be working overtime now, which can possibly end up making us more vulnerable – depending, of course, on how we manage to spin things in our heads. Too, if something seems too good to be true now, it is probably a  hoax or possibly an extension of wishful thinking.

On the plus side, this aspect can be very advantageous for any type of creative work, particularly when we are able to get in the flow and suspend judgment of our output.

“Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.” Andy Warhol

Hope it’s a good one!

Cosmic Weather:

Beware! The “illuminating” Sun in archer Sagittarius is squaring “deceptive” Neptune in fishy Pisces today (3:59 am)! 🙂

As it is, most days are already crazy complicated enough to wade through. Don’t you agree? Why in the world we need to add psychedelic, hallucinatory Neptune to the cosmic setup now is beyond me. No doubt, it’s probably got something to do with inebriated gods up to no good at closing time!

Yet, on the other hand, we can probably all take pride and comfort in knowing that, today, it is likely a perfect time for attempting to walk across drought-stricken seas without fear of drowning. Or better yet, without fear of being swallowed up by an oversized minnow!

And on an even cheerier note, we do also have sweet, romantic Venus in “marrying for money” Capricorn sextile wishful-thinking Neptune (4:48 pm). So, at least there’s a shadow of hope that by the close of the day, some of us will probably end up being rescued by a wealthy prince or princess on a galactic-sized yacht so we can, hopefully, hang up our fishing poles for good! 🙂

Seriously, Venus sextile Neptune can, on occasion, match us up with our karmic soulmates. So that’s pretty cool. Or, at least pair us with acceptable substitutes. A comforting thought – especially since George Clooney is no longer an option, thanks to Amal!

“Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze.” Elinor Glyn.

Numerologically, today is also an “8” day often associated with money and power, and the ability to rein it in.

Born On This Day: American humorist James Thurber, in 1894, who once said: “One martini is all right. Two are too many, and three are not enough.”

Hope it’s a good one!

Today’s Astrology for September 7, 2019: Mercury Opposes Fishy Neptune

07 Saturday Sep 2019

Cosmic Weather:

Precise, logical Mercury in Virgo meets up with foggy, dissolving Neptune in Pisces today (3:18 am), the ruler of the fishy sea, and the planet of our imagination and phantom representations (or misrepresentations, including deception), so our thinking, reasoning, communications, and overall mental alertness may be a bit askew now. Or, significantly askew! – depending upon our own individual make-up, inclinations, or factory-type settings, and how we may choose to ride out this tricky, elusive, illusionary energy. (Mercury-Neptune is often associated with half-truths, missing or erroneous information.)

Suffice it to say, today may not be the best time for attending to the highly-detailed type of work and exacting calculations that Mercury in Virgo so inherently relishes; however, it is likely a very inspiring time to unleash the power of our own creativity and see how many dots we can, perhaps, lusciously disconnect. 🙂

It’s highly doubtful, though, that our brain stem and the rest of us will actually “float away” and vanish into thin air, this Saturday, as waxing, prescient Luna has already seemed to have adeptly planned for this cosmic event and has, thereby, chosen to deftly extricate herself from “adventurous” Sagittarius, for the remainder of the weekend, and instead, has securely deposited her sleek, form-fitting derriere into “doubting naysayer” Capricorn (6:37 am) where skepticism is king.

Favored activities today: Reading or writing fiction/poetry; acting, dancing, singing, painting, photography; water therapy/water massage; dream interpretation; studying mysticism or religion; developing our intuition; engaging in outlets that sensitize us to the feelings or needs of others or that allows us to show our compassionate side.

*All times EDT

Born on This Day: Grandma Moses (Anna Mary Robertson Moses) in 1860 in Greenwich, New York. An American folk artist, she began painting in earnest at the age of 78 and is often cited as an example of an individual who successfully began a career in the arts at an advanced age. She died in 1961 at 101. (Wikipedia)

In her birthchart, Moses had Mercury and Saturn almost exactly conjunct (one degree) in detail-oriented Virgo, which is typically excellent for deep yet highly pragmatic thinking as well as keen concentration or focus. She also had her artistic Venus in dynamic Leo and in a two-degree trine to imaginative Neptune Rx in the last degree of Pisces, suggesting a real, natural flow of artistic energy. Her Moon (emotions) was also in endlessly curious and youthful Gemini and conjunct progressive, inventive Uranus.

“If I hadn’t started painting, I would have raised chickens.” Grandma Moses

Hope it’s a good one!

Today’s Astrology August 10, 2019: Sun Quinqunx Neptune

Cosmic Weather:

Sometimes, things are so easy or obvious for us to perceive. Other times, however, it seems a real struggle to even see or detect what’s smack right in front of us! Kind of like we have blinders on or something. Today, with the Sun in bright, shiny Leo awkwardly aligned with foggy, dissipating Neptune (8:44 pm), there’s a possibility that we’ll be impacted by more of the latter type of scenario now. 

The tricky thing about illusionary, deceptive Neptune, too, is that it’s wishful ray often makes us see only what we want to see, instead of what’s really there. It’s kind of like we erect an invisible wall or barrier up around us and only allow certain elements to our liking to filter through it. It could be, too, that we’re a bit weary now, and need a rest.

On the shadow side, Sun-Neptune can also sometimes make us feel more disillusioned with our lives, partly because we may be feeling, overall, less grounded now. For instance, things that we may have turned to earlier for anchoring or support, we may sense now that they are somehow passing away from us, and we may be unsure of how to handle their removal or disintegration in our lives, or what exactly to replace them with. Too, part of the lesson (or gift) of today’s Sun-Neptune energy is to perhaps teach us how to live (thrive) in the face of the various uncertainties or ambiguities that are a normal part of life on the Earth plane.

Anyway, since it’s a Saturday, it might be an ideal time to just chill out and take it easy. It’s not like we have to do heavy lifting every day of the week! Plus, Sun-Neptune is potentially very advantageous for any creative, artistic, or imaginative outlets (give our intuitive right brains a nice workout). This energy can also help sensitize us to others now, especially with respect to what they’re feeling or going through. 

Additionally, it’s the 10th day of the month, or a “one day,” numerologically, which does suggest there’s quite a bit of power or dynamism to the day (despite the elusive Neptunian element), as the life-giving Sun rules the number one. Normally, on “one” days, we feel like initiating something new. Perhaps, just breaking with our normal routines and doing something out of the ordinary now might be a good way to express ourselves, this weekend (also simultaneously helping to create more of a sense of spaciousness around us). The Moon is also still in adventurous Sagittarius, all day, so our emotional receptivity to experiencing new things is still quite high.

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On August 10, 1960, the Los Angeles premiere of Alfred Hitchcock’s (iconic) “Psycho” film starring Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh occurs.

Not surprisingly, in the sky that day, energizer Mars, at 5 degrees of cerebral Gemini, was exactly square to intensely suspenseful Pluto, the Grand Master of the macabre,  at 5 degrees of perfecting Virgo.

Jupiter was also retrograde in visionary Sagittarius and applying to a flowing, two-degree trine to Uranus, the planet of genius, in motion-picture Leo.

Hope it’s a good one!

Today’s Astrology June 24, 2019: Venus Squares Neptune

24 Monday Jun 2019

Cosmic Weather:

Today we may do well to keep in mind the proverbial saying: “All that glitters is not gold” as Venus (the planet of love, values, and money) moves into a square formation with Neptune Rx (the planet of idealism as well as deception). Venus-Neptune energy can seduce us to “long for/fall for” the dream, even though the logarithms/metrics may not quite add up in real-time. In reality, of course, there is nothing wrong with dreaming or imagining things to be a certain way; the issues or problems arise, however, when we refuse or intentionally choose not to look at the cold hard facts. On another level, Venus-Neptune tends to heighten our compassion/empathy for others as well as our enhance our creativity. We also may find pleasure now, or take refuge, in being by the sea or water. Going for such things as a hydromassage may also be enjoyable.

Jupiter Rx (representing our beliefs, our personal philosophy of life) is also quinqunx the North Node in nurturing Cancer today (2:28 pm), suggesting that we are feeling a little askew or off-center about integrating the bigger picture into the fabric of our daily lives. This could be because there is possibly a little bit of shifting going on inside of us now and we may need some time to sort things out.

Waning Luna also continues her passage through illusionary Pisces, until late tonight (10:37 pm), when she then will move into action-oriented Aries, a time when we may also be tempted to kick it into warp speed.

(Venus in Gemini Squares Neptune Rx in Pisces. Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius quinqunx the North Node in Cancer. Moon in Pisces moves into Aries.)

*All times EDT

Question for Today: What fantasy do you aspire to make real?

On This Day in History: On June 24, 1916, Mary Pickford (b. April 8, 1892), known as “America’s Sweetheart” becomes the first female star to get a million dollar film contract. A talented actress starring in over 200 films, she was also the co-founder of United Artists and of the Motion Picture Academy.

Pickford was born with her natal Sun (life purpose) and Jupiter (the expansive urge) in pioneering Aries and also had Neptune (ruling film and motion pictures) exactly conjunct Pluto (transformation) in contractual Gemini (at 7 degrees). Her Venus (attracting power, artistry) was also part of that Neptune-Pluto conjunction (at 3 degrees of Gemini). Venus-Neptune individuals can often leave us “spellbound,” while  Venus-Pluto natives are often able to wield great personal power and charisma as well.

When Pickford also signed her million dollar movie contract, that day in the sky, the transiting Sun (recognition, power) and Pluto (reform) were exactly conjunct in feminine Cancer, and Venus (money) and Saturn (success) were also tightly conjunct (one degree) in that same sign as well, definitely putting a spotlight on the “Goddess” energy. Venus conjunct Saturn is also an excellent astrological aspect for stabilizing or solidifying one’s finances.

“You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call  ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.” Mary Pickford

Hope you enjoy your Monday!

Cosmic Weather:

“The most confused you will ever get is when you try to convince your heart and spirit of something your mind knows is a lie.” Shannon L. Alder

There are more questions than answers today. And, even the answers we’re getting from ourselves, others, and the world at large may be highly suspect or confusing! With animator Mars in Gemini squaring evader Neptune in Pisces (9:04 am), it could be that the more we try to ‘push the envelope’ now (Mars), the greater the chance that that delicate paper receptacle will just flat out vanish into thin air (Neptune)! On the shadow side, Mars-Neptune energy is associated with passive-aggressive/deceptive/scattered actions. Accordingly, it may be best to postpone acting on any major issues today until the view/the facts/our perspective become clearer. Too, behaving aboveboard with integrity can be an empowering way to circumvent some of the bumps in the road before us now.

On another level, Mars square Neptune can be excellent for involvement in any creative activities, especially art, music, and photography. This energy can also invoke our more compassionate or charitable side and can be a time when we are much more capable of self-sacrifice.

“The most sublime act is to set another before you.” William Blake

Astrology August 29, 2014: Sun Opposes Neptune

“The more I see, the less I know for sure.” John Lennon

COSMIC WATCH:

The “logical” Virgo Sun opposes “foggy” Neptune (10:33 am EDT). It may be harder for us to discern exactly what’s flitting across our radar screen today. On the one hand, this could open the door to our taking more “creative license” to explain things away. Especially since Neptune does govern our imagination and story-telling ability. A shadow-side manifestation of this configuration might be a temptation to partake in lies or deception; or to otherwise, distort the true nature of something, maybe through acts of omission.

Also, Sun-Neptune aspects are often associated with elements of surrender. Perhaps, partly because our ego energies tend to be lower now, which means we’re more likely to offer up less resistance.

On a more positive note, the Sun aligned with Neptune potentially strengthens our connection to the metaphysical realm, which Neptune also symbolizes. This might be an ideal period to go on a spiritual retreat in an effort to give our lives greater meaning and a deeper context. We may also feel more inclined to want to help others now, in a selfless way. Something that, I believe, we can all agree, is very much needed in the world today.

Question for Today: How might a “lack of clarity” actually be a good thing?

“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.

“We’re never so vulnerable than when we trust someone – but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy.” Walter Anderson

Venus, goddess of love and beauty, opposes fantasy Neptune today. Sometimes with this influence we have a tendency to put people on pedestals. We may need to be extra careful now that we don’t get swept away by what’s on the surface. Make sure that there’s some stuff – under the fluff – before we extend our trust.

COSMIC WATCH:

“We’re never so vulnerable than when we trust someone – but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy.” Walter Anderson

Relationship Venus enters the discriminating realm of Virgo the Virgin (2:59 am EDT), for the next three weeks. This may translate into our being more selective and analytical in romance and partnerships.

However, today, with Venus’s opposition to elusive Neptune in Pisces, our vulnerabilities may be on the rise. Venus-Neptune can blur boundaries. Sometimes with this aspect we also feel that we have to give much more than we get.

Also on the shadow side there’s greater potential for some deceit with this influence, including the self-generated kind.

Additionally, Venus-Neptune has been known to produce some odd pairings. Such as unions with partners who are on completely different wavelengths. Mia Farrow, for instance, has this configuration in her chart and she married Frank Sinatra. Sonny Bono also had this same influence and he, of course, tied the knot with Cher. “Summer and Winter were not supposed to fall in love.” Julie Kagawa
