“The highest reward for a man’s toil is not what he gets for it but what he becomes of it.” John Ruskin

“Cosmic Word of The Day”: Reward

Definition: 1) something given or received in return or recompense for service, merit, hardship, etc.

Origin: 1275-1325; ME rewarden, orig, to regard

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Illuminating Sun enters glamorous, party-lovin’ Leo today and warmly extends an intimate “sextile party invitation” to Geriatric Saturn, now hanging out all by himself in relationship Libra. The Sun surmises that Saturn is ready and eager to discreetly resume “copulating activities” after that long period of “presumed abstinence” in virginal Virgo.

Feeling sorry for Saturn, the Sun has also included some Viagra with his invitation. He figures Saturn was due this much-needed reward. The big trick now is to find somebody for Saturn to love. Although the Sun’s sextile to Saturn today should help Saturn in the “personal attraction” department. The Sun-Saturn sextile is often an “elevating” influence, a time when we are signaled out and rewarded for our past efforts.

The Sun knows, too, that Saturn has so much on his plate now, seeing that he is prominently involved in that steroidal Cardinal-T-Square with the likes of Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto, with Mars also joining the hullabaloo on July 29th.

Today, though, Saturn is “chilling out” and relaxing. Enjoying pina coladas and “paint by number” and working on his profile for the internet dating sites. Saturn figures he’s due some slack after the big move into romantic, artistic Libra.

He’s also trying to figure out how to get to the “Love Shack” where the Sun in Leo’s sizzling summer party is being held tonight. He’s heard a lot of “big shots” will be attending, so Saturn is especially looking forward to it, as he is always looking to further himself and enhance his career and status.

He’s normally adept with directions but he’s having a hard time reading the map without his new, pink-framed bifocals, which he has already misplaced again. The glasses were yet another gift from Appearances Queen Venus.

Saturn is squinting at the tiny print on the map and mumbling aloud: “It looks like I go to exit 209, then I turn left at Gibraltar, then I turn right at Bandero, then I go down a hill, then I go 15 miles…

“The tragedy of sexual intercourse is the perpetual virginity of the soul.” William B. Yeats

In the News: The issue of “race” jumped to the forefront this week with the sudden termination of that Agricultural Department Official, Shirley Sherrod, who apparently was axed prematurely for some comments that she made on race that were taken out of context.

I thought it interesting that the “confusion and embarrassing firing” occurred with the Sun in Cancer, the sign that rules agriculture, forming an exact challenging quinxqunx (adjustment) influence to nebulous Neptune in the sign of  Aquarius, which deals with equality and humanitarian issues.

Anytime we have Neptune prominent, we are more prone to being undermined and having “things not always being as they appear on the surface.”  Neptune is also associated with scandals and disrepute and Ms. Sherrod’s reputation was suddenly maligned.

We also have Saturn, ruling the past, forming the exact opposition to Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius, which governs equality issues. The Saturn-Uranus aspect has, unfortunately, stirred up “old wounds” again.

According to reports, Ms. Sherrod may be reinstated back at the Agriculture Department at a new job. Whether she goes back, is another question. Today’s Sun in leadership Leo sextile fence-mending Saturn in diplomatic Libra, would be a good time to further smooth this matter out and formally bestow an olive branch, which I believe was done late yesterday with the Sun-Saturn sextile influence already applying.

If you have an area of your life that needs some “massaging” or “salvaging,” you may also want to try to reach some level of accord or agreement today. Sun sextile Saturn can be very stabilizing and diplomatic, particularly with “peace-keeper” Libra involved. Good day for signing peace treaties.

Enjoy your Thursday!

May you reap big rewards today with Sun sextile Saturn.

Chiron Enters Pisces: Dorothy Height Dies, Medical Marijuana

Was it symbolic or ironic that the very day that Chiron, the Wounded Healer, enters Pisces, the leading female figure of the 1960s civil rights movement, 98-year-old Dorothy Height, dies?  The last time that Chiron was in Pisces was 1960 to 1969 coinciding with the rise of the civil rights movement and the passage of the Civil Rights Act of of 1964. Pisces at its most noble expression represents Divine Love and compassion and the transcendence of physical boundaries.  Chiron symbolizes our deepest wounds and attempts to heal them.

I think it was symbolic that this woman, whose life work embodied and depicted so much in the way of racial healing for the collective, should die on the day Chiron re-entered Pisces, as it shows that we have come full circle back to the past, several decades later. As a society we are still dealing with issues of racial inequality, although thanks to leaders like Dorothy Height, much progress has also been made. Still much more needs to be done and perhaps with Chiron here again in Pisces, we will see the dissolution of more of the barriers that divide us, and not just racial barriers. We need to also work on ending bias and discrimination based on sexual orientation, religion, age, as well as gender.

Also today, the D.C. Council approved a bill to allow chronically ill patients to use marijuana with some stipulations. Of course, the medical marijuana issue has been ongoing for the last few years in various cities across the country, but when I heard about this story today I immediately felt that with Chiron here in Pisces now, the sign which rules drugs, including marijuana, that it will probably not be too long before medical marijuana will be universally legalized as a treatment method. I also think Neptune entering Pisces will also have impact on this area.

This whole marijuana issue, too, in a roundabout way, takes us back into the sixties again, in some respects.  Back then, with Chiron in Pisces, there was the popularization of psychedelic drugs as a way to transcend the limitations of the physical body and free our minds. More and more people also began smoking pot then. There was also widespread fear, especially among the over 30 crowd, that pot-smoking would lead to becoming addicted to other kinds of  drugs.  Now fast forward to today, and marijuana is starting to be viewed in a whole new way, more along the lines of a medicinal drug. It all strikes me as kind of ironic.  How about you?

2010 Prophecies #1: Simon Cowell, Bill O’Reilly On Foot Factor

Continuing right along with my Prophecy Report for 2010…as I shared earlier…the three dominant themes for 2010 are: Fish, Feet and Confessions…but not necessarily in that order… Jupiter’s passage through smelly Pisces the fish begins January 18th…Jupiter sails through Pisces, entering Aries, the sign of the selfish ram, on June 6th…that opens up a whole new world of cruel prediction possibilities …Jupiter  retrogrades back into Pisces September 9th… where he stays until January 22nd, 2011…Jupiter normally stays 13 months in a sign…

Jupiter, the inspirational teacher, writer, philosopher and preacher, is our biggest planet because he can’t stick to a diet… he does everything in a grandiose manner…for good or for bad..He rules the largest organ in our bodies, the liver…some of you naughty minded folks were thinking, when I said largest organ, that I was alluding to that other male-organ… that’s ruled  by Pluto…and from direct experience… that organ is not always that big… except for when Jupiter is in Pluto-ruled Scorpio…

Jupiter is considered a lucky or benefic influence in astrology…creating opportunity wherever he goes, when he’s sober…however…his downfall is he overdoes…he over-eats… over-drinks…over-promises… over-spends…lives plum too high on the hog…which is why our world is in the  mess it’s in today…on the other hand…he can also be lazy and rest on his chubby laurels…Pluto’s passage through Jupiter’s sign of Sagittarius corresponded with many becoming obsessed with expansion and spending…we spent, spent, spent our little fannies off …lived largely on credit…which Pluto controls…the bankers kept extending everyone more and more credit as if they were dispensing drugs…now that Jupiter is in drug-loving Pisces…the government will start putting narcotics into our water supply…

Pisces rules the sea and everything that pertains to it…it also rules the feet, thought of as the soul of all understanding…it pertains to all things mystical, religious, spiritual, and psychic…it’s a safe-haven for misfits, castaways, alcoholics, dope heads, hookers, and deceivers… misunderstood artists and dancers…film-makers, photographers, creative types that don’t fit anywhere else because they’re often late on their rent…it rules prisons…it rules hospitals… and those who care for the sick and infirm….and last, and most importantly, it rules Dr. Scholl’s corn pads…

My visions for the future come at goofy times…I may be on the toilet… may be making the bed…or wallpapering the ceiling… I may be engaging in a myriad host of activities…even snoring… and then suddenly I must stop whatever I am doing and jot down the singular mighty vision…So what I am predicting for 2010? Let’s begin with the feet…

First off, since Jupiter likes everything big… big, fat feet are in…  The bigger, the better… Men are less concerned with a woman’s bra-size and more concerned with her shoe size, especially the width of her foot…with wider being better here…as a consequence…single women with smaller, narrower feet, are going to find it harder and harder to get dates…Simon Cowell and Bill O’Reilly team up for a brand new reality show on FOX called the “Foot-Factor”..which outs liberals’ shoe sizes…becomes bigger hit than “American Idol”…Paula Abdul joins the show…shares with us she has been struggling with a life-long foot fetish…Troubled people with foot fetishes are outed everywhere…Oprah Winfrey devotes many shows to the topic… Pedicures become  government mandated for all school-age children and Republicans…Toenails  replace screws…Both Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien become shoe salesmen… both replaced with big-footed podiatrists…Joan Rivers launches a successful line of foot jewelry on QVC…More and more people start sucking their toes instead of their thumbs…There are scientific breakthroughs in surgery so more toes may be added to each foot..People  no longer care about plastic surgery for their faces, they are only worried about the wrinkles on their feet…People start wearing several pairs of shoes at the same time…Shoe stores start appearing on every corner…Shoe horns replace fog horns, french horns, and car horns…another government mandate… Shoes become more valuable than cars and the federal government offers a new program to fund their purchase…replacing the old government-sponsored car program…Stock shares of Dr. Scholl’s foot products’  soar, as do the stocks of all foot-related products…CNBC and Wall Street Journal reporting the government suspects some insider trading…President Obama scraps daily press conferences…starts holding daily foot clinics instead… Katie Couric reveals Sarah Palin’s shoe size and width…is her shoe size bigger than her IQ?… and also asks what kind of  books and newspapers Sarah’s feet read…if they read any at all…Bunions and corns are government-mandated on all feet…film-maker Michael Moore makes a stinky documentary about it exposing the shoes sizes of all those involved with the corny mandate …A new federal-government amendment passes making sure people are discriminated against because of their shoe-size…People are forced to reveal their shoe sizes on employment applications…smaller the foot, less chance of getting hired…Kids are admitted into college according to their shoe sizes instead of their SAT scores…again…bigger shoe size…the better the chance for admission…Kathy Griffin no longer is Anderson Cooper’s sidekick on New Year’s Eve for CNN…she’s replaced with a sexier high-heel that doesn’t utter the “F” word and only tells corny jokes…
