Astrology August 5, 2022: First Quarter Moon in Scorpio

Cosmic Weather:

On this jobs-reporting Friday in the U.S.  – and the very first Friday of August – we are greeted by a First Quarter Moon, as the celebrity Leo Sun squares off with angst-filled Luna in Scorpio (7:07 am). This phase of the Moon occurs when Luna reaches 50% of her illumination – or appears half full in the sky.

At this time of the lunar cycle, we may be feeling some unease inside ourselves and feel compelled to take some kind of corrective or re-orienting action to right the spaceship, so to speak, especially with respect to what was conceived at the Leo New Moon (i.e. our monthly vision for ourselves).

Luna’s increasing light makes it more possible for us to see now some of the kinks or vulnerable points in that original design that may need to be purged or expunged in order to make this whole thing fly by the time of the Full Moon in aviation Aquarius, on August 11th.

Too, the First Quarter Moon can also bring to light other issues, and hidden tensions, that may force us to pay more attention to what is happening, including possibly highlighting some inner conflicts that we may feel regarding our need for outward recognition from others for what we are generating or putting out there. For instance, we may question whether we are doing the right thing with some project, or maybe think about possibly changing our approach.

Additionally, today’s eliminating Scorpio Moon is an excellent time to do some decluttering of objects we no longer need.

“I felt that days, weeks, months, and years of my life were wasted by the removal of stuff. There were more important things I would rather have been doing. But I continued, and eventually, I felt lighter and freer than I had ever felt in the years of big houses with each room filled to the brim.” – Lisa J. Schultz

*All times EDT

Born On This Day: Neil Armstrong, American X-15 pilot and astronaut – first man on the Moon (Gemini 8, Apollo 11) on August 5, 1930, in Wapakoneta Ohio, (d. 2012).

“It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.” – Neil Armstrong.

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

Astrology November 20, 2019: Mercury’s Direct, Plus Mars-Neptune Align

20 Wednesday Nov 2019

Cosmic Weather:

Mercury is finally stationing direct (at 2:11 pm) today, after, what seems, for many of us, to have been an exceptionally long, 3-week retrograde period in intense, crisis-laden Scorpio, the sign of transformation or turning points. Mercury, which governs our thinking or thought processes, communication, and learning, as well as travel and transportation, is going direct at 11 degrees of Scorpio (it will remain in its shadow phase until December 7th).

Too, a note of caution here: even though Mercury is turning direct, we’re still not quite out of the tunnel yet!  We really need to give the Winged Messenger, at least a few more days, to get re-oriented again (in its direct motion), before moving forward with our plans, or making any major decisions. Generally, this is because, whenever a planet stations, a symbolic spotlight is put on the functions of that planet, and all that extra attention or fanfare can make it harder for us to get a clearer, or more objective handle, on the things associated with that heavenly body.

So, for example, with intellectual Mercury involved here, it’s possible that our thinking or ideas could be a bit skewed, in some way, now. Or, for instance, we also may have a more difficult time turning off our thoughts today – or possibly we may be overthinking things – especially in obsessive, one-track-minded Scorpio! 

Too, turning inward and meditating today – connecting with that well of inner stillness – can be a positive and very good way to ground or balance ourselves now, so we feel more of a sense of inner peace or knowingness, our inner wisdom. Journaling might also be a very good thing to do, as a way of capturing what may have come up for us, during Mercury’s retrograde phase, or all that is coming up for us now, in the way of insights, ideas, messages from the deeper, or more intuitive levels, of our being.

We also have motivator Mars, the planet of assertion (in its first full day in its home turf of Scorpio), involved in a minor aspect (sesquiquadrate) with foggy Neptune in Pisces, which can be, on the shadow side, mildly disorienting, in the sense that it may sort of make us feel that it’s harder for us to act upon (Mars) our dreams (Neptune) effectively now, possibly because the path to realizing them just doesn’t appear all that clear, or really feel right to us (also a sign not to act upon them now!) Another possibility is we could, perhaps, feel immersed in a dream or fantasy that we just don’t want to let go of, for whatever reason. Or, it could be that we also have a nocturnal dream now that is very powerful for us, in some way, on an emotional level, that may also be wise for us to reflect upon, as it could be that this dream is offering us a special kind of guidance for our lives. A lot of times, dreams are important harbingers or indicators of our future.

Too, nurturing Luna is in tinkering Virgo, an earth sign, all day, so becoming involved in tangible activities that allow us to feel purposeful or useful, or that help us to maybe perfect a craft or a skill, can be very supportive or rejuvenating for us now. Included here, we may also want to spend some time tidying or straightening up our households. Sometimes, just organizing/decluttering the space around us can go a long way in making us feel more in control, more in charge, of our personal worlds.

“What I know for sure is that when you declutter – whether it’s on your home, your head, or your heart – it is astounding what will flow into that space that will enrich you, your life, and your family.” Peter Walsh

Today’s Astrology May 18, 2019: Full Moon in Mysterious Scorpio

18 Saturday May 2019

Cosmic Weather:

“Every single cell in the human body replaces itself over a period of seven years. That means there’s not even the smallest part of you now that was part of you seven years ago.” Steven Hall

It is a perplexing mystery how we often feel that we are basically the same person, day after day. Yet, in reality, for all practical purposes, we are in a continuous state of death and renewal while we are breathing, hanging out on the earth plane. At least, this is the case from the standpoint of our physical being. On the other hand, it is the persistent sense of our own seemingly unchanging ‘inner essence’ which most likely provides us with the notion we are more of an immutable force to be reckoned with! But even then, the idea of an enduring ‘inner essence’ is also a bit weird and baffling, when you think about it, because how does this ‘inner essence’ manage to keep itself glued together, in one piece, to begin with, when everything around it keeps wanting to turn into mush and or wither away? Maybe even more importantly, how does it manage to keep its hair perfectly coiffed, in all instances? That is the real 64-thousand dollar question! 🙂

Anyway… Today’s Full Moon in ‘life and death’ Scorpio, at 27 degrees of the sign, seemingly invites us to humbly bask in the full awareness of the infinite, deeper mysteries of life that perennially surround us, engulf us, maybe even haunt us, at times. So many things can potentially ‘spook us out’ on a daily basis, if we let them, especially in this age of 24/7 news coverage. Although, with the Full Moon in investigative Scorpio it could be that we possess the proper amount of emotional fortitude, unflappable courage, and perceptual curiosity now to want to willingly visit those dicey places/areas/dramas that tend to otherwise make us want to naturally recoil out of fear or trepidation. It is like we know now that we must move through, or go beyond, all the scary stuff to get to the ‘other side.’ The seemingly ‘safe side’ where all the monsters are benevolently slewed, our spouses are fairly subdued and obedient – for the most part – and all is right (healed) with the world! At least, for a little while. Till the next domino falls…

Scorpio is also the sign in which we take the trash or garbage out, both literally and symbolically. In the body, it is associated with the rectum and bladder, the two workhorses of elimination. What goes in (Sun in Taurus), must come out (Moon in Scorpio), at the risk of sounding crude. Interesting, too, isn’t it, how there is often so much shame, embarrassment, including yes, even mystery, associated with this particular, and much-needed body function. So hopefully Luna now, deposited in her full-figure form in seductive Scorpio, the premier snakeskin shedding energy, will inspire those of us, who are so inclined, to pitch/purge/recycle whatever is redundant/outworn in our lives, in order to make room for the new/nurturing/tantalizing ingredients that will, ideally, keep us standing upright and moving vigorously forward, a while longer.

As luck would have it, too, the passionate, intense Scorpio Moon is also occurring on the same day that lovable Venus is conjunct wild and wacky Uranus in hedonistic Taurus, an astrologically rebellious/liberating influence that poises us/tempts us to want to temporarily break with convention/tradition/our mates in order to pursue out of the ordinary worldly pleasures/values. To decadently indulge in new sensations/social/romantic experiences that likely move us outside of our rigid/stuffy comfort zones and straight into the dog house!

Thinker and orator Mercury is also exactly trining insightful, dark horse Pluto today, Scorpio’s modern-day ruler. So we are also possibly able to seduce/influence/persuade others now with our power thoughts, ideas, and spoken/written words in a non-threatening, yet formidable manner. This is also an excellent intellectual aspect for solving puzzles, riddles.

“I always dream of a pen that would be a syringe.” Jacques Derrida

On This Day in History: On May 18, 1897 “Dracula” by Irish author Bram Stoker is published by Archibald Constable and Company in London.

The astrology that day: The illuminating Sun in sensual, neck-ruling Taurus was exactly opposite maverick Uranus and authoritative Saturn. Both of these planets were also exactly conjunct in ‘mistress/master of the night’ Scorpio!

Famous May 18 Birthdays: Bertrand Russell, Frank Capra, Pope John Paul II, Reggie Jackson, Tina Fey

Today’s Astrology March 9, 2019: Aries Moon Squares Pluto

Cosmic Weather:

“Never complain of that of which it is at all times in your power to rid yourself.” Adam Smith

The Moon spends another full day in active Aries, this Saturday, so anything that has a physical element to it gets a nod, if you’re up to it, that is. Also, this morning is an excellent time for any decluttering or refurbishing projects, especially on the homefront, as the Aries Moon is forming a square to eliminating and rebirthing Pluto (11:56 am).

On a personal note, the other day while I was cleaning out a small storage cabinet that I hadn’t looked inside for ages, I found several brand new items that I had no memory of ever buying. It was a little bit like embarking upon the thrill of the hunt! Unfortunately, though, I didn’t locate any misplaced, winning lotto tickets. 🙂 You sometimes hear about people doing that. Finding a ticket worth millions of dollars underneath an old girdle in a drawer. Or maybe under a pair of holey socks. You also gotta’ wonder, if you’re into astrology, what in the world did they have in their horoscope at the time they discovered the ticket? Maybe an aspect to Pluto? Pluto is associated with hidden treasure and excavation. Then, too, when you pair Pluto with Jupiter, that’s often when you stumble upon real mega-wealth!

Now, as fate would have it, would you believe that the Moon’s last major aspect in Aries today, before going void, is actually a trine to lucky Jupiter in Sagittarius ( 12:14 pm)? Could it be that we’re all on the edge of victory here??? That all we need to do is summon our inner Sherlock Holmes and, instead of heading for the hills, head for the drawers? As corny as that sounds.

The darn thing has gotta’ be around here somewhere! … 🙂

*All times EST

This Day in History: On March 9, 1776, the influential economics book “The Wealth of Nations” by Scottish economist and moral philosopher, Adam Smith, was published. This classic book offers, among other things, one of the world’s first collected descriptions of what builds nations’ wealth (Wikipedia).

In the sky on the date of the book’s publication, analytical Mercury was retrograde in creative Pisces (just like it is now) and had just separated from an exact square to philosophical Jupiter in information-oriented Gemini, a sign which is also ruled by Mercury. Mercury and Jupiter, of course, both govern our writing, thoughts, and ideas. Too, when these two planets are paired together is when you often will find more voluminous or comprehensive types of writing on a subject. Additionally, Jupiter is also the “wealth” planet and rules the world’s financial systems.

“Man is an animal that makes bargains: no other animal does this – no dog exchanges bones with another.”  Adam Smith

Hope you enjoy your Saturday! Happy hunting!

Astrology for September 2, 2015: The Moon’s in Anchoring Taurus

02 Wednesday Sep 2015

“Relax, let go, allow, and recognize that some of your desires are about how you think your world should be, rather than how it is in that moment. Become an astute observer…judge less and listen more. Take time to open your mind to the fascinating mystery and uncertainty that we all experience.” Wayne Dyer (May 10,1940 – August 29, 2015)

Today’s Energy:

The Moon’s shift into “anchoring” Taurus (5:02 am) helps us to see the wisdom in going at things at our own pace – particularly if that pace includes some time for partaking in pleasurable or leisure activities. Communing with nature can also be especially grounding and renewing for us now. “Is not a dew-drop on a blade of grass more beautiful than a pearl set in gold? Friedrich Max Muller. The Moon remains in Taurus until Friday morning (7:48 am).

The Moon trining “altruistic” Jupiter in “service-oriented Virgo” (1:01 pm) endows us with a sense of peace and goodwill toward others – especially if we’re operating from our nobler side. This is also excellent energy for dealing with people from other cultures or backgrounds, promoting women’s issues, or for making improvements in the home, including  any re-organizing or de-cluttering efforts. This might also be a good time to air out the house; let it breath and release trapped energies.

Moon sextile to “transcendent” Neptune in Pisces (6:54 pm) guides us to experience more of a sense of inner calmness or stillness. The worries of the day tend to drift away now like gentle waves receding along the shoreline. A wonderful time, perhaps, to dine by candlelight, be by water, or to take in a movie or play.

Moon trining the life-giving Sun in “productive” Virgo (10:06 pm) enhances our physical vitality and personal sense of power. Our energies are flowing now in a more unobstructed manner. If we’re so inclined, we may want to consider using this time period for tending to important work-related projects, career strategizing, or for business/ investment planning.

Interestingly, it was Aristotle who reportedly first coined the word ‘energy’ to express the concept of “vigor of expression.” He also believed “the energy of the mind is the essence of life.”

“It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.” Leonardo Da Vinci

Today’s Energy:

The waxing Moon continues its journey through “ambitious” Capricorn for the entire day. The Moon remains in Capricorn through late Thursday afternoon (5:41 pm).

The Moon’s monthly meetup with “insightful” Pluto (2:23 pm) works to shine a spotlight on our deeper feelings, or hidden motivations. This is also excellent energy for purging, recycling, or refurbishing projects. Sometimes, too, it ends up that we only discover our deepest needs or desires after we have managed to eliminate all the clutter or miscellany around us. Karen Kingston, author of Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui, says the desire to possess things comes directly from the ego. “Your spirit already knows you own nothing. It is a matter of realizing that your happiness does not depend on your ownership of things. They help you in your journey but they are not the journey itself.”

Intellectual Mercury is also quinqunx Pluto today. This can put more passion and intensity into our communications; however, we may need to watch out for becoming too obsessed with an idea.

Astrology January 9, 2012: Full Moon in Cancer

09 Monday Jan 2012

COSMIC WATCH:

The Full Moon in “nesting” Cancer today may create greater awareness of the need or desire to balance the home and family arena with work and duties symbolized by the opposing Capricorn Sun. A harmonious sextile to the lunation from assertive Mars in organizing, correcting Virgo is also possibly a cue for us to become more productive and efficient. This is excellent energy for self-assessment and scrutinizing (Virgo) what we may need to add or eliminate in our lives in order to make more headway toward our goals.

Too, with the Full Moon in domestic Cancer we may find that by doing some de-cluttering in our home environment now, especially removing objects that we do not like, or deem to be beautiful, can also help to free us from the erroneous notion that we are stuck or powerless to alter our life circumstances in general. Also, by taking this action we effectively send a message to our subconscious and the Universe that we are capable of adeptly managing our affairs and can be trusted to do the same in the future, thereby opening the door for more abundance and prosperity to flow into our lives.

“Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.” Cameron Crowe

Today’s Affirmation: I know that every moment is a template for a new beginning and I choose to act accordingly on this awareness.

What could you remove from your life today that could help you to move forward?

Happy Full Moon blessings!

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon’s foray into practical, earthy Taurus (9:36 am EST) makes today an excellent day to attend to money and possession matters. The Moon is considered to be exalted when it is in Taurus, a sign that is ruled by sweet Venus. Too, the Moon is making its monthly conjunction with fortuitous Jupiter (11:38 am EST) helping to put us in a more positive, generous frame of mind. Moon-Jupiter is often a very expansive influence that can align us with fresh opportunities.

Later, the Moon’s trine to transforming Pluto (10:39 pm EST) serves to heighten our emotions and passions. This is also a very good time to de-clutter, if we are so inclined. Too, when we rid ourselves of what is outworn or no longer needed, this allows for new pleasures and experiences to come into our lives.

“Clutter-clearing is modern-day alchemy.” Denise Linn

Famous People with Moon conjunct Jupiter: Prince William, Venus Williams, Merv Griffin, Bob Dylan

Today’s Affirmation:  Today is full of joy and abundance.

Enjoy your Tuesday!

Astrology August 4, 2011: Moon in Libra

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon remains in “beauty-loving” Libra all day. With mental Mercury in organizing Virgo favorable to energetic Mars in domestic Cancer, today may be picture perfect for beautifying the home front. Or the workplace which is Virgo-ruled. Mercury is also opposing imaginative Neptune elevating our creativity. Redecorating, re-arranging furniture to where it will look best, or removing unwanted objects from our environment helps to empower us now. Also, we may want to put fresh flowers out which, according to feng shui, can help to inspire balance and calmness within.

Tonight, dreamy Neptune leaves Pisces and retrogrades back into group-oriented Aquarius, where it will stay until February 3, 2012. This sign shift puts “otherworldly” Neptune into the spotlight now, adding perhaps a surrealistic tone to things. Neptune is known as the “Great Dissolver.”

“Decorating is not about making stage sets, it’s not about making pretty pictures for the magazines; it’s really about creating a quality of life, a beauty that nourishes the soul.” Albert Hadley

Famous People with Moon in Libra: Emily Dickinson, Emily Post, Leonardo Di Caprio, D. H. Lawrence, Bruce Springsteen

Famous Birthdays August 4th: President Obama turns 50 today! A Leo Sun, Obama also has his natal Moon in chatty Gemini and his Rising Sign in detached Aquarius. His Mercury, ruling speech and communication, is in theatrical Leo and opposite “big picture” Jupiter in humanistic Aquarius, making him an eloquent and charismatic speaker. Mercury-Jupiter individuals often are teachers and philosophers. They usually feel compelled to share their “higher vision” with others.

Happy Birthday, Mr. President!

Enjoy your Thursday!

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope September 25, 2010: Spooky Romance

24 Friday Sep 2010

“Love is a fire.  But whether it is going to warm your heart or burn down your house, you can never tell.” Joan Crawford

COSMIC WEATHER:

The calendar may read “September 25,” but in reality things may seem a little more like “Halloween” with the Illuminating Sun in “Romantic” Libra square to that scary, “Dark Bogeyman” Pluto in “Skeletal” Capricorn.

Whenever Mysterious Pluto is in the picture, we tend to meet up with “an implosion” or two, experience a “toppling” of some of our expectations, sometimes out of nowhere. In other words:  The bag of candy we have innocently collected, going door to door, may contain a few tricks. So beware!

With Pluto in “Career” Capricorn, too, it could very well be that our “professional ambitions” may be where we see some “battle” or “reconfiguration” taking place today. Also, keep in mind: This is probably not the best day to deliberately provoke power struggles with higher-ups.  Or, force co-workers to follow our own “selfish agendas.” (Pluto often makes us tyrannical and non-cooperative, so we may need to correspondingly “temper our impulses” to preserve the peace.)

Additionally, with the Sun stationed in the “partnership sign” of Libra, romance could also get a little spooky. Especially when our partner takes off his or her mask, for the first time, and we see them as they really are. (OMG!!! “Honey, please do me a favor, and put your mask back on, right away!!!” I had no clue, all these years, about any of this!!! Who, what did I marry??? Is it still too late to pick what’s behind door number three instead?)

Pluto’s ray often does expose us “to the truth.” What was previously hidden, or submerged, is now brought out into the light of day.  On the plus side, Sun-Pluto days can be very “healing” and “transforming” because in wake of “discovering the truth,” or, in some cases, “baring our souls,” we often feel “freer.” More genuine. Sun-Pluto is synonymous with the “purge process.”

It may additionally be interesting to see the kinds of things going on in the collective today. Look particularly for notable, life-altering “dramatic revelations,” “coup d’etats,” “historic, transforming firsts.” Also, spy stuff could again figure promimently.

In lieu of this “purge-type” energy today, now is a good time to engage in various “de-cluttering” tasks. For instance, we may want to go through the clothes closets and pitch or donate to charity what we no longer need. Or, go through each room and rid ourselves of objects or pieces of furniture that may be “weighing down” a room’s rhythm or vibration. Maybe work in the yard doing some weeding, or aerating, readying the earth for “new growth” in the future. At its noblest expression, “Sun-Pluto”  symbolizes “rebirth” and “rising victoriously” from the ashes.

The Moon wraps up her stay in “Just Do It” Aries with some easy aspects to Creative Neptune (9:12 am EDT), “Expansive” Jupiter (12:02 pm EDT) and “Humanistic” Aquarius (12:15 pm EDT) before descending into “Practical, Slower-Moving” Taurus (4:17 pm EDT). The Taurus Moon will also form an insightful trine to Pluto at (9:49 pm EDT) accentuating today’s “awakening” vibration.

In the News:

The  Thanet Wind Farm, the world’s largest offshore (Piscean) wind farm, opened Friday off the southeast coast of Thanet district in Kent, England. Notable here, from an astrological perspective, is the tight “Jupiter and Uranus” conjunction in Sea-ruling Pisces. Uranus rules technological and scientific advancement (the wind farm) and Jupiter is associated with making things “larger.” The project will reportedly make a pivotal contribution to the Government’s renewable energy goals.
