Cosmic Weather:

“In my silence do I enhance my talents.” – Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

Mental Mercury, governing our decision-making, stations direct in impressionable Pisces today at 16 degrees (9:59 am) – alongside elusive Neptune – after being retrograde since March 5th. We’ll need to wait a few days, however, before the true nature of things is fully known, and all the facts are in. So if you’re needing to make a decision about something now, you may want to factor in that there could still be some information forthcoming, in the future, that could alter or impact those decisions, down the road. Mercury will clear its shadow phase on April 16th.

The Moon also entered its Last Quarter phase, early this morning (12:09 am), with the Sun in burgeoning Aries squaring the Moon in utilitarian Capricorn. The Last Quarter Moon phase is usually a time when we’re getting a better sense of what’s working for us, and what’s not. Generally, during this time, we want to be wrapping things up now versus starting anything new.

Famous March 28 Birthdays: Teresa of Avila, Marlin Perkins, Edmund Muskie, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Lady Gaga

“There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers.” Teresa of Avila

On This Day in History: On March 28, 1885, the Salvation Army is organized in the US.

“Recognized throughout the world for its humanitarian work, thrift shops, and red donation kettles, the Salvation Army is an evangelical Christian church. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ while helping others without discrimination. Because they work on the front lines where people are in need or are suffering, Salvation workers refer to themselves as soldiers and use a military hierarchy.” (pocketsense.com)

Astrologically, on that day, Venus, the goddess of love, and Mars, the god of war, were both exactly conjunct at 29 degrees of spiritually-minded Pisces, a critical degree. Mars in Pisces is also often referred to by astrologers as the “spiritual warrior.” Venus is also often thought to be at her most empathetic in Pisces. More prone to being able to demonstrate unconditional love. Both Mars and Venus were also applying to a one degree waning sextile to transformational Pluto in neighborly Gemini.

Hope you enjoy your Thursday!

COSMIC WATCH:

“You can have brilliant ideas, but if you can’t get them across, your ideas won’t get you anywhere.” – Lee Iacocca

We may want to be more mindful of our communications and travel plans, the next three weeks, with Mercury stationing retrograde today at 12 degrees of leadership Leo (10:16 pm). Needless to say, Mercury retrograde has been linked with communication and travel snafus.

Retrograde Mercury periods are generally times when we revisit our recent decisions and thinking. Too, decisions that are made concerning new matters, during a retrograde period, are sometimes later revised, postponed or delayed. So, we need to be sure that we keep a flexible mindset and not get bent out of shape should these things occur later.

Some astrologers also suggest postponing signing important contracts during a retrograde Mercury cycle until Mercury goes direct.

Mercury will be stationing direct again on August 7.

“Stay committed to your decisions but stay flexible in your approach.” – Tony Robbins

COSMIC WATCH:

“You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.”  James Allen

Where have your thoughts been, the past three weeks, with Mercury “the thinker” retrograde? Have you maybe been reconsidering recent decisions, or reflecting on your goals? Today with Mercury stationing direct in “intuitive” Pisces we finally get cosmic clearance to begin acting on what we have been ruminating about lately. Mercury will also be in its “shadow phase” until April 22.

Meanwhile, the Moon in “solutions-oriented” Virgo today also prompts us to evaluate matters logically, although a morning trine to expansive Jupiter in Taurus (9:35 am EDT) does supply us with an overview of the big picture as well. Additionally, the Moon in Virgo is perennially our monthly invitation to “tidy things up.” Have nothing in your home that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful. —William Morris

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Astrology July 29, 2011: Mercury Opposes Fuzzy Neptune

COSMIC WATCH:

“That rolls to its appointed end.” – William Cullen Bryant

Perhaps a perfect day for winding down our affairs as we have a void-of-course Moon in sentimental Cancer and a New Moon in sunny Leo tomorrow. Mental Mercury in analytical Virgo also opposes fuzzy Neptune in fishy Pisces making decision-making possibly a bit more convoluted.

When Neptune’s ray is activated, matters may get obscured and we might be missing key facts. However, this same aspect could be a boon for creative types as Neptune governs our imagination. Neptune also presides over film, photography, dancing and aquatic activities.

A note of caution: Mercury goes retrograde August 2nd! A period when we often revisit and or reverse our previous decisions or plans. Something to keep in mind now.

Enjoy your Friday!

January 24, 2011: Moon in Libra “Weighing The Pros and Cons” Daily Horoscope

“It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.” Roy Disney

COSMIC WEATHER:

Today, with the Moon continuing her romp in “well-coiffured” Libra, the sign of the scales, we will want to carefully weigh the “pros and cons” of things before politely rendering our decisions. Or, for that matter, airing our humble views or opinions. Too, as alluded to in the Roy Disney quote above: When we know our values, it is often easier to formulate our decisions, to decide our course of action. Also, it may be foolish for us to try to dispute clear and obvious facts (Moon square Mercury).

Later, the Moon’s “potent” monthly meet-up with “reality kingpin” Saturn (11:37 pm EST), in partnership Libra, may also coincide with our having to “face the music” with respect to the nature of our relationships. Our obligations and responsibilities to others may require swift, diplomatic (Libra) action. It is also probably best to avoid power struggles (Moon square Pluto), although there may be a real need for firmness (Saturn) on our part.

We may also want to, additionally, reflect on the whole matter of how we go about getting our needs met from others. Is our strategy here, working for us? Or do we maybe need to revise it? Saturn is also getting ready to turn retrograde on January 26th, a period when we will likely be giving this matter, much further thought.

“Those who are firm, enduring, simple, and unpretentious are the nearest to virtue.” Confucius

Astrology December 30, 2010: Mercury Stations Direct in Sagittarius

Cosmic Watch:

The planet Mercury, governing travel, communication, contracts, and so forth, stations direct at 19 degrees of Sagittarius on December 30th at 2:22 am!

Mercury has been retrograde since December 10th. It turned retrograde at 5 degrees of Capricorn. It will officially be retracing its “shadow” until January 17th, when it gets back to that 5-degree mark.

When Mercury is retrograde, the overriding astrological perception is that there can be more general confusion, misunderstandings, reversals, travel snafus, etc. It is seen as a time when we “move forward” by actually “going backwards.”

In other words, we “review or mull over” our recent decisions or thinking on things. Ideally, the winged messenger retrograde cycle can also be an excellent time for tossing around new strategies in our head and then implementing them when Mercury stations direct.

Anyway, with Mercury direct again, we presumably have the green light from the cosmos to make important decisions, once again, negotiate contracts. We can also hopefully resume brushing our teeth in a forward motion. 🙂

*All times EST

Hope it’s a good one!
