(Today’s Planetary Aspects: Moon conjunct Pluto, 5:55 am; Mercury sextile Uranus, 2:50 pm; Moon square Uranus, 3:58 pm; Moon quinqunx Mercury, 4:07 pm; Moon sextile Chiron, 6:04 pm; Moon quinqunx Venus, 8:06 pm. All times EDT.) 

Cosmic Quote of the Day: “Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won’t come in.” Alan Alda

Each of us excels in storytelling, particularly the stories that we tell ourselves about ourselves, and what’s possible for our lives. Often, too, we readily accept these personal accounts as the gospel truth when, in reality, they may be closer to fiction.

Today’s Energy:

Moon conjunct Pluto, 5:55 am: Even though it’s early morning, we awake with a desire to get to the bottom of things.

Mercury sextile Uranus, 2:50 pm: Here is B-R-E-A-K-T-H-R-O-U-G-H relief fast on its way to us to confront some of those storylines in our head. This is perfect energy for precipitating mental shifts as our curiosity is more fully engaged. We naturally are more oriented toward questioning our assumptions, at this time, including questioning the unquestioned answers!

Also a great influence for meeting and conversing with new people who harbor very different views from our own, which can also serve to subtly rock our world. This aspect additionally favors dealing with any technology-related matter. This alignment will linger around for the next day or so.

Moon square Uranus, 3:58 pm: Departing from our routine, for a while, helps to recharge our batteries and makes us better appreciate what we have going on.

Moon quinqunx Mercury, 4:07 pm: Our heart and head may be at a temporary impasse. Best to think before we speak, and formulate our words clearly. Also, avoid prejudging things.

Moon sextile Chiron, 6:04 pm: There’s more finesse and sensitivity in knowing how to assuage pain or handle emotional issues.

Moon quinqunx Venus, 8:06 pm: Letting go our expectations of how others should behave, or how a situation should be, makes the present moment richer and more enjoyable.

Famous July 2 Birthdays: Lindsay Lohan, Thurgood Marshall, Richard Petty, Pierre Cardin, Jerry Hall, Herman Hesse, Imelda Marcos

“We are sun and moon, dear friend; we are sea and land. It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is: each the other’s opposite and complement.” Herman Hesse, Narcissus and Goldman

Enjoy your Thursday!

Astrology January 13, 2013: Moon is in Discovery Aquarius

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” Marcel Proust

COSMIC WATCH:

Perceiving ourselves and the world around us with fresh eyes, perhaps by trying on new perspectives, may be a way that we can positively align with the rhythm of the cosmos today as the Moon continues her excursion through inquiring Aquarius, where it also meets up with adventurous, pioneering Mars. The process of detaching or distancing ourselves from our preconceived notions or ideas, and our emotional biases, not only helps us to know and understand ourselves better, it also affords us a chance to glean greater awareness or insight into the natural order of things, sort of like moving beyond the cradle of a shallow pond into an open, vast, welcoming sea. “Thoughts are like burning stars, and ideas, they flood, they stretch the universe.” Criss Jami

Famous January 13 Birthdays: Robert Stack, Orlando Bloom. “Whatever happens in life is fine – just trust in that.” Orlando Bloom.

Astrology July 25, 2012: “Voice of Intuition” Mercury Trines Uranus

25 Wednesday Jul 2012

COSMIC WATCH:

“Intuition is seeing with the soul.” Dean Koontz

Intellectual Mercury in creative Leo is forming a 120-degree trine to Uranus in self-expressive Aries (9:27 am EDT). Uranus is considered the higher octave of Mercury and is linked with our more brilliant or genius impulses and also our intuition. Mercury-Uranus tends to quicken our mental activity, in addition to helping to showcase our original perceptions. It can also suddenly ignite our intuition, or the voice of our spirit. Accordingly, today may be an excellent day for brainstorming, trying new approaches to old problems, making discoveries, and for tuning into that “still, small voice within” for wisdom and guidance.

Meanwhile, the monthly Moon-Saturn conjunction in balancing Libra (11:22 am EDT) may also find us focusing on what we perceive to be our duties or obligations. Usually at the heart of this aspect we find lessons in responsibility or accountability. “The right thing to do and the hard thing to do are usually the same.” Steve Maraboli

Famous July 25 Birthdays:  Matt LeBlanc, Louise Brown (the world’s first test-tube baby). “I used to think about how I was conceived quite a lot when I was 10 or 11, but I don’t think about it at all now that so many other babies have been born in the same way.” Louise Brown

How do you view intuition? How do you know when to listen to it? What has been your experience with it?

Astrology February 28, 2012: Sun Sextiles Pluto

COSMIC WATCH:

What may have been submerged in the depths, floats to the surface now with the Sun’s sextile to “penetrating” Pluto. This is a period when digging and probing may yield big results. Additionally, Sun-Pluto can be very transforming and revitalizing. The Moon also continues in “deliberate, slow-moving” Taurus, during the day, helping us to stay focused and productive. Tonight, Luna’s shift into “changeable” Gemini (10:27 pm EST) tends to disperse our attention. “The person who does not scatter the morning dew will not comb gray hairs.” Hunter S. Thompson

February 28 Birthdays: Tommy Tune, Bernadette Peters

What would you like to get to the bottom of today?

Astrology March 21, 2011: Reform or Revolution? Sun conjunct Uranus in Aries

COSMIC WEATHER:

“A reform is a correction of abuses; a revolution is a transfer of power.” Robert Bulwer-Lytton

Well, now that we know the fine distinction between these two things, reform and revolution, it may be that we see a bit of both of these occurring today as the “big cheese” Sun conjuncts “liberating” Uranus, the sometimes quirky, and often unruly, “rebel stepchild” of the Universe.

“Change-agent” Uranus also tends to be  “unpredictable” in nature, so it’s hard to ever know exactly what he has up his sleeve. It’s probably best for us to just prime ourselves for the “unexpected” today, and hope it will be “very good” unexpected stuff that develops in our lives.

Uranus can bring about sudden amazing breakthroughs and advances, especially of a more scientific or technological nature. This is especially the case in pioneering Aries, a sign also known for “firsts.” At any rate, a very good day to consider instituting new procedures or processes in our lives to make them more efficient. BTW, Uranus is formally associated with “genius.” Maybe all of our “IQ’s” will effectively get a boost today. Too, this is not a good day to resist change, as it could be a lost cause for us with wacky Uranus breathing down our necks, holding us captive. 🙂

This powerhouse Sun-Uranus pairing is also occurring in “don’t fence me in” Aries, the macho sign of war and the military. Of course, many of us already know what is presently unfolding in Libya with the international coalition forces enacting a no-fly zone over that country. Heard on the Wall Street Journal Radio this morning (love their early morning news program) that there is also reportedly some concern that Moammar Qadhafi could resort to terrorism, at some point, even use mustard gas.

Too, more unrest is again brewing in other areas of the Middle East. (We also have Mercury and Jupiter in Aries.) Ever since expansive Jupiter got into Aries, late January, is when the political activism and social unrest in the Middle East started heating up (also had warrior Mars in group-oriented Aquarius setting the tone then. Mars rules Aries.).

Aries also rules sports. Today, the long-awaited Barry Bonds‘ perjury trial is slated to begin, three years after Bonds was charged with lying to a federal grand jury when he denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs. One thing’s for certain about “high-voltage” Sun-Uranus: It is never a boring aspect!

Mercury Sextile Pluto Aspect: Insight for Solving Life’s Riddles

12 Friday Nov 2010

This Date In History:

November 12, 1970:

Scientists perform the first artificial synthesis of a live cell.

Mental Mercury, governing logic and reasoning ability, is in Investigative Scorpio, the sign of DNA, regeneration, and the mysteries of life. Mercury, at 29 degrees of Scorpio, is exactly sextile to Scorpio’s ruler Pluto, at 29 degrees of Analytical Virgo, which is also the sign of physical health. (The harmonious 60 degree sextile aspect signifies “opportunity.”)

Mercury sextile Pluto is among the premier aspects for research, as Mercury’s understanding and reasoning is given much greater depth and focus when aligned with intense Pluto, which symbolizes what’s “hidden below” (life at the cellular level). Too, Mercury’s placement in Scorpio, in addition to its “sextile to Pluto,” was like having a ‘double whammy’ of Resourceful Scorpio energy to work with that day.

Plus, Probing Pluto was in Health-Oriented Virgo.  Virgo is a sign associated with microscopically “breaking things down” so as to understand them better.

Other very powerful, game-changing influences were also around that day:

Mercury was tightly conjunct Visualizing, Imaginative Neptune at 0 degrees of Scholastic Sagittarius, giving a greater ability to creatively “duplicate” or “replicate” situations.

Fortuitous Venus and Jupiter were exactly conjunct in Mystery-Solving Scorpio, perhaps bringing an element of “luck” and “more advantageous conditions” to the matter of research and problem-solving (Scorpio).

The Sun was in Multiplying Scorpio exactly opposite Karma Lord Saturn in “Material” Taurus. Saturn represents “form-building.” Oppositions denote “turning points.”

Finally, Pioneering Mars in Intellectual Libra was also separating from an intense conjunction with Genius Uranus, a planet known to bestow “sudden flashes of brilliance.”  Uranus acts as a catalyst for change, and often manifests it through technological and scientific aadvancement.

Astrology June 6, 2010: Jupiter Enters Aries, Conjuncts Uranus

“The secret to a rich life is to have more beginnings than endings.” – David Weinbaum

Cosmic Watch:

The cosmic weather changes dramatically today with both the Moon and benefic Jupiter entering the adventurous, fast-paced sign of Aries.  The last time Jupiter was here was 12 years ago.

Jupiter will stay in Aries till early September, at which time it will retrograde back into Pisces. (Jupiter returns to Aries in January 2011 where it will stay until June 2011.)

What makes expansive Jupiter’s ingress into Aries so powerful now is that it is going to be joining innovative, scientific, individualistic Uranus here on Tuesday (exact 7:25 am EDT 6/8/10), something that hasn’t occurred since 1928.

Jupiter – the planet of opportunity, abundance, philosophy, the pursuit of knowledge, long-distance travel – potentially acts to magnify whatever type energy it is configured with. Since unconventional Uranian energy often manifests in spontaneous, highly charged ways – like a bolt of lightning out of the blue – there is a huge potential for exciting technological breakthrough developments/sudden revelations in both our personal/collective lives, especially since this conjunction is taking place in pioneering Aries, the sign of new beginnings. (This is a longer-term influence that will last for the next couple months, although it will be exact on Tuesday.)

June 6th Birthdays: Bjorn Borg, Neville Heath

Enjoy your Sunday!
