“All great lovers are articulate, and verbal seduction is the surest road to actual seduction.” Marya Mannes

COSMIC WEATHER:

The chatty Gemini Moon gives us a desire to “verbalize our ideas.”  This is amplified even more so today with messenger Mercury, Gemini’s ruler, forming a semi-square to “do-your-own-thing” Uranus. An influence that characteristically makes us more inclined to put forward our “personal brand.” Also, assertive Mars in idealistic Aquarius is forming a semi-square to controlling Pluto, which adds to our level of intensity and passion. The shadow side of this Mars-Pluto aspect could make us somewhat more confrontational or manipulative (Pluto). Or, encounter persons who act in this manner.

Too, the powering Sun and energizing Mars continue in their tight conjunction in “group-oriented” Aquarius, a very potent aspect that is associated with risk-tasking and adventure. This energy has been in affect for the entire duration of the “people’s revolution” in Egypt the last two and a half weeks. Sun-Mars tends to “fire us up,” stoking our self-confidence and also making us much more willing to “do combat” for whatever we believe in, as Mars rules the aggressive urge, and also the urge for survival. Mars in Aquarius, too, energizes “group expression.”

Historically, with Sun-Mars conjunctions we typically have seen major new beginnings ushered in due to the “pioneering nature” of Mars. The Sun also represents world leaders and authority figures. I personally thought it was fascinating, too, that President Mubarak finally left office with the Moon in steadfast Taurus applying to an exact square to “dissolving, ego-denying” Neptune.

The Taurus Moon is known for “holding on forever,” but this ended up not being an option for Mubarak, in face of all the Aquarian (change-oriented) planets now, including the dynamic Sun-Mars conjunction, and also the Moon’s square to “surrendering” Neptune. Neptune rules the “urge for escape” or “withdrawal.” We often feel weakened with this influence and able to see the “handwriting on the wall.” Anyway, very happy for the people of Egypt. It will be interesting to see what happens next. Hopefully, it will be a positive new chapter for that country.

Additionally, today’s energetic Gemini Moon is good for fact-finding and gathering information, teaching, writing, short trips, and active pursuits. Too, love goddess Venus is still in alignment with passionate Pluto and with Valentine’s Day coming up on Monday, it could be that we want to get an early jump on it with our honey tonight. Since I am presently “unattached,” I went to the local Oreck vacuum store on Friday and purchased $53.00 worth of vacuum bags. So, I’m all set. Also, had my vacuum annually-serviced. What a thrill! I even was treated to an in-store demonstration of the “orbiter” carpet cleaner while I was there. Totally awesome. Was completely blown away by its’ stain-removing abilities. 🙂

“Never be afraid to sit awhile and think.” Lorraine Hansberry

COSMIC WEATHER:

Mental Mercury exits practical, conservative Capricorn for more rebellious and unorthodox Aquarius (5:19 pm EST) where it joins the Sun, Moon, Mars, Neptune and Chiron. Aquarius is futuristic, eccentric, innovative, detached, and objective, so with thinker Mercury here, in this sign, our reasoning tends to be more progressive, original, and logical. We are more open to new ways of looking at things, as well as entertaining opposing viewpoints. Too, Mercury in Aquarius often likes to play the devil’s advocate. Additionally, Aquarius is a fixed sign, so there still can be some stubbornness to the mental qualities, as well as an argumentative streak. Mercury stays in Aquarius until February 21st.

Also, we still have the volatile Sun-Mars conjunction, again in group-oriented Aquarius, which will finally be exact tomorrow (11:40 am EST). Of course, as many of us know, Mars does rule the aggressive urge. Unfortunately, we saw events in Egypt suddenly turn violent on Wednesday. Several journalists were reportedly even attacked by pro-Mubarak forces in Cairo, including CNN’s Anderson Cooper who was beaten ten times in the head, according to news accounts. Cooper’s injuries were later described as “not serious.”

Sun conjunct Mars is always potentially an explosive aspect, that is why we want to try to rein in our more animalistic impulses with it. Too, it’s certainly okay to vent, and often with this Sun-Mars influence, we may very well need to vent, or clear the air. Also, in some instances with Sun-Mars, we are “forced to act” or “take a stand” to defend ourselves. But, of course, we still always have the choice to rise above using physical force, unless it is a situation where our very lives are at stake. Mars does represent the urge for survival and the need for defense.  On the positive side, Sun-Mars can be very good for physically invigorating work, exercise and competitive sports, and for taking initiative. It tends to elevate our self-confidence. And, our courage. It can be a great aspect for self-discovery. Historically, on a collective basis, Sun-Mars has correlated with breakthroughs, new discoveries and advancements.

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is that little voice at the end of the day that says I’ll try again tomorrow.” Mary Anne Radmacher.

Patricia’s Astrology January 31, 2011: “Be Self-Reliant” Daily Horoscope

“It is easier to live life through someone else than to become complete yourself.” Betty Friedan

COSMIC WEATHER:

The industrious, capable Capricorn Moon sagely advises us to invest in ourselves. To grow our abilities. Perfect our skills. So that we may make a worthwhile contribution to the collective, while also mastering the art of self-reliance.

Too, don’t we all like applause and praise? A pat on the back for a job well done? With the Moon’s square to “withholding” Saturn (5:40 pm EST), it could be that we may have to be our own cheering section today. That others may not take notice, or comment favorably on our achievements. Are we okay with that?

Also, the powerful Sun and warrior Mars continue their tight conjunction in change-oriented Aquarius, an invigorating, but more volatile aspect that has been around for several days. This aspect will be exact on Friday. This influence tends to fires us up. Makes us more predisposed to restructuring or altering our world (Aquarius). We are much more amenable to trying out new methods and procedures, even though we still have planets and the Moon in traditionalist Capricorn.

Of course, we have also been witnessing the chaos and political upheaval in Egypt, this past week, while this potent Sun-Mars aspect has been in effect. Thousands of people have been injured and reportedly over 100 persons killed.

Mars rules the aggressive urge (war), and the Sun, through the conjunction, is fueling that urge. Aquarius is also the sign that rules “group expression,” with Mars energizing that expression now. Sun-Mars in Aquarius can be viewed as “power for the people.” Aquarius is a sign of freedom and reform. Aquarius puts the needs of the collective, over the needs of individuals. Diverse factions unite to rally for their causes. Also, in the horoscope for modern Egypt, transiting Uranus (the ruler of Aquarius) at 27 degrees of Pisces is exactly square to the 27 degree natal Gemini Sun, suggesting an overhaul (Uranus) of the leadership (Sun). Too, demonstrations are planned in other countries in the Middle East in the coming days.

Expansive Jupiter is also now in Mars-ruled Aries. It will be there for the next few months. Jupiter in Aries can be personally liberating for many of us, in that it can endow us with a greater sense of self-confidence (Aries) and less fear, resulting in personal growth and the seizing of new opportunities. It can, however, simultaneously be a more potentially combative placement for us, in that we are often more willing to fight (Aries) or stand up for our beliefs (Jupiter). Aries is very courageous and brave. It is the sign of action, sometimes militant action. Sometimes overly impulsive, hasty action. Mars rules soldiers and the military, and vigilantism.
