“All the world’s a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed.” Sean O’Casey
COSMIC WATCH:
With the Moon wrapping up its stay in “theatrical” Leo, this morning, we may feel a greater sense of urgency to express something final in a bold or dramatic way. Garnering the attention of others may also provide the personal validation that we’re seeking now.
Later, the Moon’s shift into “structured, logical” Virgo (11:49 am EDT) reminds us of the importance of focusing on the tasks at hand, instead of mentally racing into the future.

“Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.”Oscar Wilde
With the Moon in theatrical, performing Leo and harmonious to Mercury (thoughts and words), Jupiter (inspired vision) and Saturn (depth), we have the green light from the cosmos today to power up and display our creative imagination.
Too, we are better able to play out our personal roles on the world stage and make gallant contributions to the collective when we have drawn upon our own unique brand of internal wisdom and experience in crafting our scripts, and deliver our lines with a true authenticity that radiates from that sacred voice within.
Some possible musings for today: Do we know, understand, and embrace our special role in the world? Do we give serious thought to our daily lines and how we deliver them, and the impact our words may have on others? Do we usually try to inspire others with our daily performance? What could we do today to get a standing ovation? 🙂

“Fear not, we are the nature of the lion, and cannot descend to the destruction of of mice and small beasts.”Elizabeth I
There’s a Full Moon at 29 degrees of “drama queen” Leo on February 18, 2011 (3:36 am EST). Too, this “Hollywood-style” Full Moon does not disappoint in the “drama department” with it’s exact opposition to glittery, seductive Neptune in brotherly love Aquarius. Full Moons traditionally deliver “full illumination,” although with Neptune’s veiled ray amplified here, it may be a challenge to decode what’s really going on around us now.
Ensnaring Neptune governs fantasy, illusion, dreams, delusion, sacrifice, surrender, self-doubt, escape. While the theatrical Leo Moon craves praise, applause and ego recognition. It wants to wield formidable power. It could be that this Leo Full Moon serves as a barometer to check the health of our ego. Also, our susceptibility to flattery. Too, it may have the net affect of making us more humble, which isn’t such a bad thing either. Additionally, this is a highly creative Full Moon especially for film-making, acting, writing, dancing, music, painting.
(BTW, at the 53rd annual Grammy Awards show on Sunday night, the transiting Moon was at 28-29 degrees of idea-minded Gemini forming a trine to imaginative Neptune and a square to genius Uranus, and the level of creativity at the event was at a fever pitch. We have an equivalent energy here, perhaps even more so with the “entertainment” Leo Moon at 29 degrees.)
Individually, we will want to check out what house in our horoscope this lunation is falling in to see where all this captivating, “suspenseful drama” and creativity will be playing out.
Also at the time of this Full Moon, Love Goddess Venus in professional Capricorn is exactly square to withholding Saturn in romantic Libra. It may be that, like Leo, Mick Jagger, we have to try harder to get “satisfaction” in the bedroom or the boardroom.
Overall, too, I think the song Satisfaction is a perfect tie-in with this particular Full Moon, in showy Leo, with the emotional Moon’s agonizing opposition to “ego-denying” Neptune. A time when we may be meeting up with a certain amount of rebuff no matter where we turn. We could also experience some existential discontent or disillusionment with the general nature of things in the collective (Aquarius). Of course, if we keep focused on our core values and personal mission statements, we’ll be just fine. Eventually. Once this Neptunian curtain is lifted and Mick Jagger finally takes center stage, along with the anchoring, Keith Richards. 🙂

“Just as energy is the basis of life itself, and ideas the source of innovation, so is innovation the vital spark of all human change, improvement and progress.” Ted Levitt
COSMIC WEATHER:
The Sun, our fab “power source” and indicator of our “conscious will” and “ego,” departs traditional Capricorn for unorthodox Aquarius (5:19 am EST), where it will reside until February 18th. The Sun is joining energy dynamo Mars already stationed here. With both the Sun and Mars in innovative Aquarius, a far-sighted sign whose natives include Thomas Edison and Abraham Lincoln, we are presented with vast opportunity to “change things up,” incorporate new approaches, don new strategies. All we have to do is have the courage to venture outside of our normal boundaries.
Aquarius also symbolizes “immersion into group activities.” So it’s good time to network and mingle with others. To join or become members of groups in which we can share common goals and ideals. Aquarius as a level of experience signifies causes that benefit the collective.
Additionally, the nurturing Moon is journeying through colorful, creative Leo today and well-aspected to both love goddess Venus (4:18 pm EST) and stabilizing Saturn (9:26 pm EST). Romance and affectionate expression get the green light. Some could even agree to commitment, or at least some kind of positive collaboration (Saturn). With the fun Leo Moon, too, we will want to be fitting in some entertainment, if not starring in our own dramatic stage productions. The Leo Moon loves to bask in the spotlight! Let the sunshine in!

“Those who lack the company of the holy, remain all alone. Their pain never departs, and they fall into the grip of the Messenger of Death.” Sri Guru Granth Sahib
Cosmic Word Of The Day: Gripping
(Mercury, Mars, Pluto, North Node conjoined in Capricorn. Venus sextile Pluto.)
Gripping: 1) the act of grasping; a seizing and holding fast 2) a grasp, hold, or control 3) mental or intellectual hold
“A convergence of ‘gripping energy’ continues to unfold around us. We’re all sort of like sitting ducks for the next few days, held hostage to it. 🙂
One bright spot: There’s no need to spend any money on movie tickets to watch high action-packed dramas, when we have so much suspenseful adventure occurring around us now, on a daily basis, free of charge.
Fortunately, thanks to our knowledge of astrology, we can at least take some refuge in blaming most of the seemingly implosive events and turmoil that we are hearing about so much in the news now, on that dark little guy P-L-U-T-O, who is sitting cozily on his dethroned throne, with rare, warm assist from clever Mercury, warrior Mars, and the “let me point you in the direction of your karma, kiddies” North Node. All these players are singularly holed up in the sign of governmental, big business Capricorn.
Pluto’s, no doubt, been waiting for this captivating, ‘dream team’ Capricorn line-up, for quite a while, considering he’s such a power-monger and control freak. He’s no doubt loving the so-called ‘David and Goliath showdown’ playing out in the collective between WikiLeaks and governmental bodies, and now also big business (MasterCard, Visa, Paypal, Amazon, etc) is becoming roped into this scenario, with the arrival of gung-ho, soldier boy Mars into Capricorn. Capricorn really denotes authority figures and other high-profile types, in general. Basically, anyone who wields power over others, or at least, dreams of doing so. Too, with Capricorn, we’re thinking about our legacy, and the length of our obituary.
Then we also have, of course, prominently figuring into the equation here, the matter of Santa Claus Jupiter conjunct ‘hi-tech’ Uranus, in behind the scenes, ‘you’ll never be able to catch me’ Pisces, getting its seeming ‘encrypted code’ jollies. Generous Jupiter’s apparently putting rebel Uranian hackers under all of our holiday trees this season, thanks to dictatorial directives from Pluto and the rest of the gestapo gang in Capricorn. Maybe it’s because we’ve been too naughty this year? I just want to know one thing: Whatever happened to plain old Barbie and Ken dolls, and electric trains, as gifts?
Jupiter conjunct Uranus is associated with genius. The U.S. put a man on the Moon with this same exciting influence. But, now it also has the zealous hacker connotation to it, and the “freedom of speech at all costs” battle cry. Or, in other words, I’ll bust your cookie jar and steal all your cookies, and leave you only a few crumbs, if you don’t let me air your dirty laundry in public. Cranky Uranus has to have its freedom, loves being a law unto itself. No matter that there are billions of us here on planet Earth, and we all need to somehow figure out how to peacefully co-exist. Why can’t we make love, instead of waging computer war games?
The last couple days have also been emotionally very gripping with the death of beloved Cancerian, Elizabeth Edwards, and now also word that Aretha Franklin is suffering from pancreatic cancer. (Get well, Aretha.) We also had the very sad memorial for John Lennon yesterday, marking the 30th anniversary of his senseless death.
Too, even Oprah Winfrey was poignantly captured on tape yesterday, shedding some tears, during a Barbara Walters interview discussing her deep friendship with her best friend, Gayle King.
Simultaneous to these latter, personally gripping events, we have had relationship Venus in Scorpio (sign of death, rebirth, and crisis) sextile Pluto (Scorpio’s ruler), an aspect that often pulls at our heartstrings and tears at our emotions in unprecedented ways. With Venus-Pluto, we become deeply aware (Pluto) of the potentially awesome power of love (Venus), and its life-altering impact on our emotions. This Venus-Pluto influence will still be around for a few more days. We better continue to keep some Kleenex close by.
Still also not a peep out of George Clooney, either! We were hoping that he might come around with the magical Venus-Pluto. Yes, George is also worth at least two or three Kleenex. Looks like another bleak Saturday night’s on tap for us. Do you think that it could be that George is just shy, and that’s why he doesn’t connect with us? He does have his distant Capricorn Moon conjunct serious Saturn. Saturn maybe subdues him emotionally, and maybe does make him a little bit shy. ‘George, no need to worry. We’ll be gentle with you.’
Also today: The Moon enters emotionally detached, cerebrally-minded Aquarius (2:32 am EST), perhaps providing us with a better chance to momentarily glean rational, cooler perspective on everything that’s going on, and try to make sense of some of the mad theater playing out on the world stage, before Mercury does its thing and goes ‘rogue retrograde’ tomorrow until December 30th.”

Giving: 1) to present voluntarily and without expecting compensation; bestow
“With enterprising Mars sextile to compassionate Neptune (2:39 pm EST), we have a golden opportunity for unselfish giving, and the spreading around of noble good deeds.
Additionally, Mars-Neptune tends to make us seek out more excitement. Illusionist Neptune rules costuming and masquerading, and with energizer Mars stoking its ray, we’re looking to “glamorize” or “dress things up” in a bid to escape the humdrum clutches of our daily lives. An excellent day for any projects that employ our creative imagination (painting, acting, film-making, poetry, dancing).
The Moon’s entrance into mysterious Scorpio (9:44 am EST) further gives us a desire to scale the heights and depths of our emotional expression, with an eye to our own transformation.”

COSMIC WEATHER:
With the theatrical Leo Moon aspecting Venus, the Sun, Uranus, Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto, and Mars, our emotions run the full gambit today. There’s definitely no shortage of Drama Queens around either, as the masterful expression of our feelings takes on sudden urgency and potency. Even vacuuming becomes a thing of high drama.

“I’d like to wear a rainbow every day, and tell the world that everything is o.k. But I’ll try to carry off a little darkness on my back. Until things are brighter, I’m the Man in Black.” Johnny Cash
The Moon is in the theatrical sign of Leo. We are more inclined to want to act out the drama of our lives on a stage before a doting audience. A reaffirming testament to ourselves that our daily efforts, trials and tribulations, are meaningful and apparent, in some way, to the rest of the world.
However, we do face somewhat of a dilemma here. How do we simultaneously integrate the energies of the Sun, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus all stationed in the more self-effacing, ego-denying sign of Pisces? A sign that is often not altogether comfortable seeking the spotlight.
The key may be to befriend Neptune, the dreamy and spiritual ruler of Pisces. He understands that none of us wants to be alone in our life journey. He knows that we all hunger for a link to something greater than ourselves. That we all need and want to feel that we are part of a larger connection. He’s also cool with granting us some measure of ego recognition, as he knows that it often helps to get us believing more in ourselves and our capabilities.
If we get a chance to today, we may want to stop and tell someone that they are doing a good job, if merited, and let them know that we appreciate all that they do for us in our lives. This is how we can help each other’s star to shine a little brighter and also, at the same time, spread around some of that golden Leo magic.
Speaking about shining: There may be another special reason for today’s Leo-Pisces lineup. The wondrous stars above may be readying us for the grand encore performance from our favorite Man in Black, Johnny Cash. Johnny was a humble Pisces, with a destiny and talent so great, that he had no choice but to take the stage. While it probably had very little to do with his ego, why he sought out the spotlight, Johnny would probably still be so heartened and flattered if we held a special warm thought about him close to our hearts today.
Today would have been Johnny’s 78th birthday. His second posthumous record is slated to be released this very day, entitled “American VI: Ain’t No Grave.”
In honor of Johnny’s memory, today has also been designated “Wear Black for Johnny Day.” How about it, too, if we put 78 candles on his cosmic birthday cake?
Happy birthday, Man in Black! We know that June is right there with you, softly whispering in your ear.
Other famous persons born on this day: Victor Hugo, Tony Randall, Jennifer Grant.
