“Don’t cook. Don’t clean. No man will ever make love to a woman because she’s waxed the linoleum.” Joan Rivers
COSMIC WEATHER:
Moon is in Tidy Virgo during the day. The premier sign for heavy-duty vacuuming and all manner of cleaning. It’s the Moon position that many of us longingly wait for, all month, and the very best time to purge ourselves, both individually and collectively, of all forms of dirt and filth and scum that may be interfering with our, otherwise, healthy psychological functioning, on a daily basis, and muddying up and subverting the fortuitous feng shui energies around us.
Highly recommended actions with the Spotless Virgo Moon today: The disinfecting of shoe interiors with ammonia, scrubbing down the kids and politicians with Mr. Clean, and starching the pets, even the goldfish, so they will look and feel like they did when they first came out of the womb. Always with the Virgo Moon we are psychologically looking to return to our pure virginal roots before we were so disgustingly defiled and tampered with.
At 6:44 pm EDT, the Moon then switches to Matrimonial Libra, at which time, all “hell breaks loose,” on the homefront, as the Cardinal T-Cross is activated, yet again, due to the malicious, vindictive, mean-spirited mindset of the Universe, which wants to keep dumping on us.
The Relationship-Centered Libra Moon will be opposing Explosive Uranus, conjuncting Depressive, Sadistic Saturn, opposing Inebriated, Spendthrift Jupiter, and squaring Jealous, Control Freak Pluto.
After all that hullabaloo, the diabolical Universe still expects all of us to lovingly go to bed with each, and make lovey-dovey, like nothing has happened to us. Pretend that our hair is still perfectly coiffed, and that the teeth marks on our arms, but fond reminders of our deep love and affection for each other. Go figure!
“It’s a dream with a V8 engine. Ain’t nowhere else in the world where you can go from driving a truck to driving a Cadillac overnight.” Elvis Presley.
Observing the official “Elvis Week” here, August 10th-16th. Did you know that Elvis loved to play football? This is true. Elvis played the quarterback position and even after he became famous, one of his very favorite things to do was to get together with a few of his close buddies and play football with them whenever he was back home in Memphis. Elvis had Mars, ruling athletes, elevated in his horoscope, a placement that many professional athletes often have.
In The News: One more big “Venus-Pluto” story for you this week. Remember I told you earlier that the Venus-Pluto planetary influence that is separating now could even involve a “spy connection.” Well, come to find that Letitia Long became the first female director of a major US intelligence agency with Venus-Pluto exact to the dot on Monday. Ms. Long became Director of the Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
The NGA was created in 1996 and collects and analyzes overhead imagery and geo-spatial information. The agency’s motto is “Know the Earth. Shows the way.” Of course, that is the “official,” mumbo-jumbo description of the agency, but both you and I know that her real purpose as the director of that body will be to look for, hunt down, and arrest, spies from outer space. When does the government ever tell us the truth?
Anyway, I thought this story was so cool occurring under the umbrella of “Venus square Pluto,” as Venus rules “women” and Pluto rules spying and is also deposited in the governmental sign of Capricorn. Plus Venus-Pluto is part of the present, larger Cardinal T-Square, which also involves Geo-spatial Uranus residing, at the moment, in law-enforcement Aries.

Enjoy your Thursday!
Grab you a chair and sit down and observe the “spin cycle” up close. You never know, George Clooney may even stop by to do his laundry. Wouldn’t that be something?
I also wonder what kind of laundry detergent George likes to use? What do you think? Do you think he prefers the granular kind or the more flowing, sensual, liquid variety? I’ve got to believe it’s the latter, especially since he has a watery Pisces Ascendant. But, he is also a cautious Taurus. Maybe, at the end of the day, he’s more comfortable “going with the grain,” and the granular.

“Nagging is the repetition of unpalatable truths.” Edith Clara Summerskill
COSMIC WEATHER:
It’sDay Twoof official “Elvis Week,” August 10th-16th. (Been celebrating it a little earlier around here.)
We’re suffering through the likes of the nagging, picky “Virgo Moon” today.
Many of us are also still dealing with the fallout of the tumultuous “Venus-Pluto” aspect, which may have forced some of us to have to deal with the issue of ex-lovers (Venus) “re-appearing from the dead (Pluto),” making our lives even more miserable. Others of us are holed up in hotels because our short-fused spouses have kicked us out. Today, though, it’s the nagging that’s really getting to us.
“People are starving! Losing their homes! And all you want to do is bitch about the frickin’ toothpaste tube! Stay out of the bathroom, if you don’t like the way I squeeze the darn’ tube!
And stop going on incessantly about the way I chew my food! You’re lucky there’s even food on the table! I work my butt off, and for what???
And don’t even get started on my snoring!”
Heartbreak Hotel was the first #1 pop record by Elvis and the best-selling single of 1956. When it was released on January 27, 1956, the Moon was in dramatic Leo and Karma Lord Saturn, in expansive Sagittarius, was in a close, harmonious trine to Genius Uranus, perched at the very beginning of entertaining Leo. Saturn here served as the “form” or “container” for the launching of a whole new, “cool sound” (Uranus) that was uniquely Elvis Presley and that helped spawned the formation of “rock and roll.”
In the News: With “Venus square Pluto” on Monday a story surfaced in the media about some woman in Canada who reportedly “faked cancer’ for two years and bilked supporters out of thousands of dollars. As I told you earlier, with “Venus-Pluto,” we often hear about situations which involve the “manipulation” of our emotions, for whatever reason. Symbolically, too, Venus rules “women” and Pluto denotes “death,” so this particular story also played out on that level as well, with the woman “feigning” a potentially “terminal illness.”
Additionally on Monday, we heard the sad news about the dramatic, Oscar-winning actress Patricia Neal (symbolized by Venus), dying (Pluto) at age 84 of lung cancer. Patricia received her Oscar for her role as a housekeeper to the Texas father (Melvyn Douglas) at odds with his selfish, wayward son (Paul Newman) in Hud.
Patricia Neal, an ambitious Capricorn with a pioneering Aries Moon, had led a heroic life. Successfully overcoming the ravages of a series of strokes, at age 39, in which she had to relearn how to walk and talk, she later would return to the screen to earn another Oscar nomination and three Emmy nominations. In a 1988 autobiography, Neal likened her life to that of a “Greek tragedy.” In astrology, we may say it encompassed a good measure of the tragedy and sorrow of “Venus-Pluto.”
Patricia’s death, occurring under the “Venus-Pluto umbrella,” is also a reminder of the more spiritually “regenerating” elements of this aspect. In the face of declining health, Patricia never gave up. In fact, she endured and triumphed, and managed to come back stronger than ever. Venus-Pluto, at its noblest, is indicative of “emotionally rising from the ashes.”

“I have the true feeling of myself only when I am unbearably unhappy.” Franz Kafka
COSMIC WEATHER:
Love Goddess Venus conjuncts Restrictive, Subdued Saturn (1:24 pm EDT) in relationship Libra. Part of the dramatic, historic “Cardinal Cross” adventure playing out in the heavens. This is the first match-up in this sign between these two planets since October of 1982, nearly thirty years ago.
With Venus-Saturn, our hearts may feel heavier. However, more depth is also possible in our relationships. There may also be the desire to “push for more commitment,” as security issues tend to loom larger.
Venus-Saturn can additionally deliver “soul mates” to us. Saturn is known as “The Lord of Karma.”
On the other hand, there’s a chance with this same aspect, for more “distance” to come between us, too, in our interpersonal relationships, as we may poignantly become aware of our sharp differences with others and unsure of our ability to resolve them. We may also just want to let some ties end now. Venus-Saturn is often synonymous with pruning.
Some people, too, may simply leave our lives now because they’re no longer suppose to be there. The karmic assignment we had with them is finished, kaput. People and relationships, we all have “expiration dates.”
Later in the day, with the Moon’s exit out of maudlin Cancer and entry into warm, entertaining Leo (7:23 pm EDT) the “heavier” emotional energy is more dissipated, and our spirits are more animated. Still some drama could erupt, though, as Leo is very good on the stage.
“Venus conjunct Saturn
We’re feeling lonely and blue
and, oh, so unpopular.
We’re wondering, too, if maybe the TV commercials are right after all: That whiter teeth and fresher breath could save the day for us, romantically. But which brand of whitening toothpaste to buy? That is the monumental question, isn’t it? And, should we stick with regular Listerine or try their newer, purple-colored option? And, is it okay to use both and maybe mix them up? Have you personally tried mixing them together? And, if so, what color did you get?
I wonder, too, if certain mouthwashes are more popular with certain kinds of people? Do aging hippies, for instance, prefer the purple Listerine because it reminds them of their psychedelic youth?
I wonder what kind of mouthwash President Obama used to attract Michelle? Or, Elvis, to attract Priscilla?
Too, maybe certain brands of mouthwash are better for certain astrological signs’ romantic prospects than others? For instance, the outgoing, energetic fire signs might score more with a louder, red-colored mouthwash, indicating more vibrancy. While the retiring water signs might fare better, romantically, going with the muted pastels, denoting receptivity.
Venus and Saturn also symbolizes “father figures” and “May-December,” romances, which could also blossom today around the globe for a goodly number of people. Fondly reminiscent, too, of “Elvis and Priscilla.” Remember Priscilla’s beehive hairdo? I wonder how many bees Priscilla was able to fit in there?
As you may already know, Gracelandand Memphis are getting ready to prepare for “Elvis Week,” this week, August 10th-16th, in Elvis’s “75th birthday” year. The annual event reportedly draws 30,000 to 40,000 people from around the world to Memphis. I recently read that, later in life, Elvis, a Capricorn, was very interested in astrology. He also had his Moon in mystical Pisces in the third house of the mind and was into meditation and fascinated with Eastern philosophy.
I also sort of wonder, as Elvis got involved in these things, later on, did he gravitate more towards pastel color mouthwashes in his life then, since he was activating the more receptive, Pisces side of his nature? Being an earthy Capricorn, his natural impulses would be to select mouthwashes comprised of the earth tones: browns and greens.

Enjoy your Sunday!
I hope you’re not lonesome tonight. Sometimes a little vacuuming can help, though, if you are, especially since we have the homey Cancer Moon. You might want to try vacuuming in two or three rooms and see if you feel any better. It’s about creating better feng shui, vacuuming up the dirty energy and putting it tortuously into the vacuum bag. Just make sure that the debased energy cannot escape from the bag, at which point lonesome feelings could return with a vengence.
I also find that when you vacuum upright, with the upright version, versus stooping down, with the old canister kind, it’s more effective for dispelling loneliness. Especially if you close the blinds first, allowing for more of a sense of raw intimacy between you and the vacuum.
