Cosmic Weather:

Mars in Scorpio trines Neptune in Pisces (6:54 am): This waning trine aspect suggests we have the wherewithal, creativity, and inspiration to strategically pursue our dreams and visions in such a way that also helps to release or alleviate the stranglehold of the past. This is very nice energy for transformation or rebirth, and also for unification, as prior barriers or boundaries seemingly become more porous now.

On the other hand, we also have Venus conjunct Pluto in Capricorn (10:16 am). This is a very emotionally intense aspect that can notably arouse our feelings, passions, and desires. Not only can this make us feel things very deeply, but we can also be very single-minded in pursuing our goals now, especially in the realm of relationships or perhaps concerning our career. Because we are so focused on what we want now it may actually help us to manifest our agendas, particularly if we are careful not to overstep our boundaries. On the shadow side, more challenging Venus-Pluto aspects can incline us to operate in a more manipulative or calculating manner.

After yesterday’s Full Moon in “busy, breezy, overthinking” it Gemini, which may have gotten a lot of us “stirred up,” we now end our Friday the 13th with Luna deposited in her ruling sign of Cancer the Crab, putting self-care back into the spotlight. The Moon will remain in home-loving, family-oriented Cancer for the next couple of days.

*All times EST.

Astrology November 8, 2019: Saturn Sextiles Neptune, Last Call

Cosmic Weather:

(Saturn in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces, at 16 degrees)

Very hopeful, positive cosmic energy descends upon us today!

This Friday (also a renewing “eight” day, numerologically), features the third or final installment of the closing or waning, ‘Saturn-Neptune’ sextile (9:45 pm), for the year, an aspect which first began on January 31st; the second meetup between these planets, occurred on June 18th.

Basically, and ideally, this encouraging sextile influence helps us to really ground or manifest (Saturn) our dreams or inspirations (Neptune), but usually only if we’re willing to add the necessary legwork. This is because, with the sextile aspect, we normally need to actually ‘do’ something; things don’t automatically just flow to us, as they often can, and do, with a trine. Plus, of course, we have Saturn involved in the equation here – and he always requires that we have some “skin in the game.” Saturn rewards us according to our efforts.

Hopefully, too, at the inception of this aspect (in January), we may have started sketching out some of our grand designs or visions, on our humble, little drawing boards, and now we’re finally seeing them get their glorious angel wings!

Also, for those of us who may have arrived a bit ‘late to the party,’ today, is still a good time to challenge ourselves to take some kind of meaningful action on a matter that we know, in our heart, will propel us along positively on our purposeful life journey. In fact, with this being a closing sextile, today, too, if we do take action on something now, it will likely be on a matter that we have already probably seriously considered.

An extra perk or bonus for us today, too, is that the rejuvenating Sun in Scorpio is also making a closing sextile to Saturn (at 12:06 pm) and a waning trine to Neptune (at 12:56 pm). Sun sextile Saturn is always excellent energy for helping us to more effectively prioritize, and then act upon, our goals or objectives as well as draw upon our previous experiences in a practical and self-disciplined manner.

On another level, Sun sextile Saturn is a great time to enlist the aid or support of a mentor, or someone whom we respect, or maybe look up to. This energy is also advantageous for dealing with issues associated with such things as aging, retirement, long-term care, and succession-planning.

The Sun-Neptune trine also adds a, seemingly, more magical component, to our day, and is an energy that can really help us to feel more connected to each other, or more unified, collectively. This more visionary influence can also be very good for such things as taking up peace negotiations, or for calling for truces or ends to conflicts.

This might also be a fun day to channel our inner artist or poet, if we’re so inclined. Or to steal some time away for meditation or quiet reflection. Also, we may experience or encounter more synchronistic-type events.

The Moon also entered pioneering Aries, this morning (at 6:48 am), where it will stay for the duration of the weekend. This lunar position additionally helps to put us in a more adventurous, risk-taking mindset, for the next two and a half days. A time when we will, more than likely, want to be on the go, doing our own thing.

*All times EST

Hope it’s a good one!

Today’s Astrology August 14, 2019: Sun Conjunct Venus, Quinqunx Pluto

14 Wednesday Aug 2019

Cosmic Weather:

A warm, amiable Sun-Venus conjunction in creative Leo (ideally) magnifies our wants and desires, our popularity, our artistic expression, our orientation towards cooperation, love, harmony, and celebration. This is a very lovely influence that can really make us want to beautify our life, our appearance, our surroundings. Natally, when people have Sun conjunct Venus in their charts, they’re usually very adept at being able to smooth things over, to make connections with others. Occurring in Leo, too, there can be quite a bit of flair for fashion, for drama or the theatrical, for attracting attention to ourselves in a potent, charming, or charismatic way.

On the flip side, however, this same Sun-Venus conjunction also forms an awkward quinqunx to investigative Pluto in “no-frills” (Saturn-ruled) Capricorn, which could potentially serve to temporarily arouse our suspicions or find us probing deeper into the shadows, looking for what may be broken, disturbed, or, seemingly, just “not quite right,” below the surface. This is not necessarily a bad thing – maybe more like performing a maintenance check or a diagnostic on our system after sensing something might be a bit off.

The waxing Moon is also in emotionally detached Aquarius today, which can help us to see things in a more intellectual light. This position for Luna can also incline us to be more experimental or non-conforming in our approach to matters. Sometimes, too, with Luna here we’re more willing to espouse or rally behind social or humanitarian causes.

Too, since we have a Full Moon in Aquarius tomorrow, we may really be getting a strong sense of things building up or culminating now. Full Moons tend to supply us with more illumination, or greater awareness. Occurring in Aquarius, too, perhaps we’re trying to figure out now our unique, special place in the world (Sun in Leo), where we can really shine but also, at the same time, give back something meaningful to the collective (Moon in Aquarius).

Numerologically, the day (8-14-2019) reduces down to a 5 (Mercury-ruled) and 7 (Neptune-ruled), so we do have a pronounced “changeability” or “back and forth” vibe going on, and a boost of mental stimulation. But, also a strong desire for dreams and inspiration.

Today’s Astrology July 25, 2019: Mars Trines Jupiter

25 Thursday Jul 2019

Cosmic Weather:

Don’t you just love it when you drive your car into a packed parking lot and, suddenly,  another car pulls out from a parking space, exactly in front of where you want to go, and you’re able to get the spot? Well, today, kind of has that same “lucky” feel to it – right place, right time. Especially the first half of the day as transiting Mars in Leo forms a trine with Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (8:22 am).

This galvanizing planetary influence tends to energize (Mars) our faith, beliefs, self-confidence, and vision (Jupiter), thereby potentially supplying us with a motivating “can-do” spirit.

On another level, Mars-Jupiter aspects also often have a history of ushering in (Mars) new political (Jupiter) leadership, which is what we have just seen occurring in the UK (Boris Johnson), and also in Puerto Rico, with the governor there just announcing he’s stepping down.

Too, because it’s also the 25th day of the month (or a seven-day)  we additionally have more of an idealistic propensity (Neptune) now, which can also inspire us to want to “claim our dreams.”

Also, since we’re still in a waning lunar cycle and Mercury is retrograde, we should continue focusing our efforts on phasing things out or bringing ongoing matters to a completion.

The Waning Moon is also in plodding, practical Taurus the bull, all day, the sign of its “exaltation.” This should serve as a nice “grounding backdrop” for us. It can help us to be more “present in the moment.” Luna in Taurus especially favors engagement with nature as well as activities that indulge or delight our five senses.

“Flying starts from the ground. The more grounded you are, the higher you fly.” J.R. Rim

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On July 25, 1997, scientists announce the first human stem cells to be cultured in a laboratory using tissue taken from aborted human embryos.

Astrologically, on the day, pioneering Mars was in creative Leo (2 degrees) and exactly trine to transformational Pluto (ruling death and rebirth), at 2 degrees of futuristic Sagittarius.

“The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.” Anais Nin

Cosmic Weather:

“Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.” Rumi

Have you ever gone to that proverbial drawing board with the best of intentions to be creative or imaginative, and absolutely zilch happened? It’s like you suddenly morph into a zombie or something and you end up just sitting there, twiddling your thumbs. If you can even muster that much! What’s even worse is when you look all around you, and you see all these cool things created by other people! and you’re thinking to yourself, “Why in the world did I have to get stuck with such a lousy, god-awful imagination? Is it possible payback or retribution, perhaps, for an ancient karmic misdeed, or something? 🙂

Isn’t it also humbling and mind-boggling, too, when you step outside into nature and you see all this brilliantly choreographed magnificence and beauty everywhere? Or, you look into the heavens through a telescope, and it’s as if the complicated universe never stops unfolding! There is just so much amazing mystery and wonderment surrounding us, all the time, and yet many of us never really even think much about it because we are often so preoccupied with all the daily, mundane, personal stuff. Yet, we also have it so much better, in many ways, with respect to countless others who lived before us, in other time periods, who often had to struggle to just make it to age 30 or 40.

“The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.” Sylvia Plath

And yet, regardless of everything, hope springs eternal for another glorious chance to possibly shine or dazzle, or to come into our own, in our optimal roles as co-creators with the universe! Or, so it seems, at least for today anyway, with sweet, artistic Venus, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, forming a lovely sextile aspect with compassionate Neptune, the official Kingpin of Imagination (3:45 am).  The Venus-Neptune hookup today also activating the ongoing, more long-term Saturn-Neptune sextile that has been in operation since the end of January and will continue in effect, on and off, for most of this year. This aspect between these two planetary heavyweights, Saturn and Neptune, is, theoretically, ideal for helping us turn our dreams, creativity, and visions (Neptune) into reality or tangible form (Saturn).

*All times EST

Enjoy your day!

Astrology January 13, 2019: Mercury Conjuncts Saturn, Jupiter Squares Neptune

“Dreaming about being an actress, is more exciting then being one.” Marilyn Monroe

Very interesting day in the cosmos! Intellectual Mercury is conjunct serious, ‘Doubting Thomas’ Saturn in Capricorn, expansive Jupiter in Sadge is square fantasy Neptune in fishy Pisces, and the changeable, fluctuating Moon is in restless, action-packed Aries! Yours truly is also writing this blog literally in the dark, by flashlight only, as where I live we’re currently experiencing an ice storm and my house has no power or electricity. All I can say is, “Thank God for Wifi! 

So, I’ll try to be brief and to the point here (communicator Mercury is, after all, conjunct stingy, ‘less is more’ Saturn!) – and before my laptop dies, which could be any minute! Today is a time when we may experience some measure of confusion or disillusionment, especially with respect to our dreams, ideals, beliefs, philosophy of life, and expectations (Jupiter-Neptune). It is also easier for us to be misled or hoodwinked, not just by others, but also by ourselves! In other words, it appears that nearly all the collective is operating somewhat in the dark now, metaphorically speaking, and not just moi! (I just love the synchronicity at play here, don’t you?) While Jupiter-Neptune can be seemingly inspiring to us, to some degree, it also does have a legacy of being associated with going overboard, being extravagant, mismanaging or wasting our resources, becoming addicted to pleasures or legal, illegal substances.

We’re actually very fortunate to have that practical, grounded Mercury-Saturn conjunction in aspect today, as a counter to the more disorienting, undermining Jupiter-Neptune energy, as it is probably one of the best planetary influences for providing us with a solid, hands-on reality check. Good for planning and organizing. Optimally, Mercury-Saturn symbolizes discernment, concentration, wisdom, disciplined thought. All qualities that we’re potentially more sorely in need of now as we attempt to navigate through all the fog!

On another level, it’s also possible with the Mercury-Saturn conjunction that we hear more serious news today that ends up putting us into a more reflective mode. On the shadow side, Mercury-Saturn is often linked with despair or depression. Also a scarcity, or fear-mongering mentality.

Anyway, Jupiter square Neptune will also return twice more this year in June and September. So the drama continues. Stay tuned! 🙂

“The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.” Rachel Carson.

Enjoy your Sunday! Good luck flying close to the ground today in your oh so pretty ruby red slippers! 🙂

Astrology January 12, 2019: Initiating Aries Moon Trines Venus, Conjuncts Mars

“Action expresses priorities.” – Mahatma Gandhi

It’s always good to have personal dreams. They’re often a big first step in creating our future. Wayne Dyer once said, “You’ll see it when you believe it!” But when the waxing, transiting Moon is deposited in initiating Aries, as it is today, it’s a time when we need to do more than just dream. Now we need to also consider taking action on some of those “castles in the air.” See how they fare. Test drive them down the Freeway of Love in our Pink Cadillac! After all, Aretha was an Aries! 🙂 Taking action on matters is also a positive way to develop greater self-confidence in our abilities as well as gain a sense of accomplishment.

Regarding today’s aspects, the Moon in Aries trines lovable Venus in optimistic Sagde this afternoon (at 2:20 pm). Quite a fun and expansive energy. Especially since Venus is now free of all the dark heavy Scorpio stuff. No more whips and chains! No more hanging out in caves! We probably will also need to allow ourselves more leg room to wander around now. Venus in Sagittarius likes to travel and check out new places. This could also make us very hungry for stimulating connections with others. The more diverse the pool of acquaintances, the better!

Later this evening (7:12 pm), the Moon conjuncts assertive Mars in Aries, the planetary ruler of the Aries Moon. Our emotions are potentially more charged now, and we may feel we have to defend ourselves now, no matter what. On the plus side, Moon-Mars can be great for tackling projects that require physical strength and stamina. Also, for working out in the gym. 

“I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.”  Oscar Wilde.

Astrology September 8, 2014: Full Moon in Pisces – Are We Living the Dream?

08 Monday Sep 2014

Posted by in Astrology September 2014

“Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird, that cannot fly.” Langston Hughes

COSMIC WATCH:

Are we living “the Dream?” Or, just “getting by?” Or, maybe our personal situation is a tad more complicated, punctuated by a few, noteworthy, “shades of gray?” 🙂

Regardless of where our particular life falls among these various scenarios, today’s Full Moon in “idealistic” Pisces (9:39 pm EDT), may find us going deep within our self searching for answers, including pondering the deeper meaning of our life, and what it is that we have been put on this earth to do. Full Moons often deliver up a fresh, new awareness of something. They can also represent a culmination or turning point in our affairs. Of course, we will also want to take a closer look at the house in our personal horoscope where this Full Moon is occurring, as that is the area of our life where our illumination may be the greatest. Also, where we may see a crescendo of activities occurring. The Full Moon is taking place near the midway mark of Pisces, at 16 degrees.

Today’s lunation puts the Virgo Sun opposite the Pisces Moon, suggesting that we’re hoping to balance or reconcile the needs of our everyday life and routine (Virgo) with the needs of our Spirit, or Authentic Self (Pisces) – something that is never very easy to do! Too, sometimes just having a clear vision (Pisces) for our life, can already put us way ahead of the game. “Dissolving” Pisces, being the last sign of the zodiac, is also where we become well aware of the impermanence and fleeting nature of life on the earth plane. Also, it is in this sign in which we often feel most compelled to make a worthwhile, selfless contribution to the collective. Winston Churchill once wisely remarked that, “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” 

Today’s Full Moon in Pisces is conjunct “wounded healer” Chiron and trine to “responsible” Saturn, so now might be a positive period for making heartfelt amends, or for making an effort to end or resolve our differences with each other, including letting go of any difficult issues, inside of us, that we may have been holding onto out of guilt or fear. Harmonious Moon-Saturn aspects are particularly good for stopping the hemorrhaging of our energies and getting us going again in the right direction. Saturn is also in “regenerating” Scorpio. An applying sextile to Saturn, from the “correcting” Sun in Virgo, also lends a supportive hand here. Too, today may be a good time for consulting with a nutritionist or holistic health coach regarding dietary (Virgo) issues.

Additionally, the Sun in Virgo is quinqunx “quirky” Uranus today, the planet of the unexpected, meaning that it may be wise to have “Plan B” ready to go, just in case things do not go as planned. Sun-Uranus often will challenge us to use our ingenuity to navigate sudden turnarounds. On another level, this aspect can find us questioning or taking issue with the status quo, or possibly even developing new ideological platforms. Uranus symbolizes radical factions, innovators, technology and the internet.

Question for Today: What is the life you were “meant to live?”

“In between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed.” Sid Caesar

“Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird, that cannot fly.” Langston Hughes

A spirit of idealism can act as a trusty “North Star adviser” to steer us closer toward our dreams; When it is also powered by an anchoring engine of realism, clarity, action, and determination we can become an unstoppable force for the creative manifestation of our desires. “If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform a million realities.” Maya Angelou. RIP.

“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.” Henry David Thoreau

COSMIC WATCH:

With it being the first day of a brand new year, many of us are excited about writing a fresh, new chapter in our lives and also, perhaps, very hopeful or optimistic that we will be able to make tangible traction toward our dreams in 2014. Too, when some of us take a moment to look back in the rear view mirror at 2013, and gaze upon some our perceived “failures” or “fiascos” of the past year – the Neptunian dreams that maybe woefully went south – we may be tempted to scratch our heads and wonder to ourselves, “What in the world were we thinking by attempting such ludicrous or hare-brained things in the first place?” What do they say, that hindsight is always 20/20? 🙂

But, what if we cut ourselves a bit of slack here? And, instead of maybe regarding some of our so-called “missteps” or “blunders” as evidence of our towering and undeniable stupidity, or naivete – or whatever disparaging description that we opt to attach to our humble self – and chose instead to characterize these “well-intentioned, past creative renderings” of ours as simply “castles in the air” that just haven’t been given their foundational wings yet, as Thoreau suggested that we do? Maybe this type of morale boosting, “bigger picture point view” would duly inspire us to non-sheepishly resurrect (Pluto) some of our former, unfulfilled dreams in 2014. Dreams that are still likely very worthwhile for us to pursue, if only because, despite all of our best efforts to repudiate, silence or distance ourselves from them, they continue to keep tugging away at our heartstrings for completion. Victor Hugo once said that, “There is nothing like a dream to create a future.” Perhaps our dreams are also a vital part of our basic survival instinct, as they motivate us to keep going, and going, and going – kind of like the Energizer bunny.

Too, many of us are also likely ready now to break out of the gate – to chase after that Energizer bunny  – with eight planets (including the Sun and Moon) in the initiating, action-packed Cardinal signs, as well as a New Moon in persistent Capricorn occurring today. This is also the first time that we have reportedly had a New Moon on the first day of January in 19 years.

Capricorn is an earth sign that is associated with employing practical, strategic measures to obtain its goals. It is all about putting a solid foundational structure in place as a springboard for realizing our dreams or agendas. As a sign, Capricorn is focused on the outward contributions that we as individuals are each able to make in society.  Capricorn is symbolized by the adaptive mountain goat.  Too, New Moons are all about new beginnings and setting our intentions for the future. Also, with each New Moon, we are attempting to internally integrate the qualities of the sign in which the lunation is occurring.

This New Moon is very powerful because it is part of a galvanizing grand cardinal cross. It is also conjunct “makeover” Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth, so hopefully we will be able to triumphantly “rise from the ashes” again and, like the phoenix, courageously reclaim some of our forsaken or abandoned dreams.  Pluto’s activated ray is also positive for helping us to maintain a single-minded focus. Additionally, Pluto energy is very good for helping us sort out what’s worthy of saving or salvaging from the past, and what should be purged or pitched for good – an especially valuable ability to have in our toolkit at the start of another year. “You may be the only person left who believes in you, but it’s enough. It takes just one star to pierce a universe of darkness. Never give up.” Richelle E. Goodrich

Famous January 1 Birthdays: J. Edgar Hoover, Betsy Ross, Paul Revere, J.D. Salinger. “I’d just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it’s crazy, but that’s the only thing I’d really like to be. I know it’s crazy.” J.D. Salinger.
