Cosmic Weather:

Today we may do well to keep in mind the proverbial saying: “All that glitters is not gold” as Venus (the planet of love, values, and money) moves into a square formation with Neptune Rx (the planet of idealism as well as deception). Venus-Neptune energy can seduce us to “long for/fall for” the dream, even though the logarithms/metrics may not quite add up in real-time. In reality, of course, there is nothing wrong with dreaming or imagining things to be a certain way; the issues or problems arise, however, when we refuse or intentionally choose not to look at the cold hard facts. On another level, Venus-Neptune tends to heighten our compassion/empathy for others as well as our enhance our creativity. We also may find pleasure now, or take refuge, in being by the sea or water. Going for such things as a hydromassage may also be enjoyable.

Jupiter Rx (representing our beliefs, our personal philosophy of life) is also quinqunx the North Node in nurturing Cancer today (2:28 pm), suggesting that we are feeling a little askew or off-center about integrating the bigger picture into the fabric of our daily lives. This could be because there is possibly a little bit of shifting going on inside of us now and we may need some time to sort things out.

Waning Luna also continues her passage through illusionary Pisces, until late tonight (10:37 pm), when she then will move into action-oriented Aries, a time when we may also be tempted to kick it into warp speed.

(Venus in Gemini Squares Neptune Rx in Pisces. Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius quinqunx the North Node in Cancer. Moon in Pisces moves into Aries.)

*All times EDT

Question for Today: What fantasy do you aspire to make real?

On This Day in History: On June 24, 1916, Mary Pickford (b. April 8, 1892), known as “America’s Sweetheart” becomes the first female star to get a million dollar film contract. A talented actress starring in over 200 films, she was also the co-founder of United Artists and of the Motion Picture Academy.

Pickford was born with her natal Sun (life purpose) and Jupiter (the expansive urge) in pioneering Aries and also had Neptune (ruling film and motion pictures) exactly conjunct Pluto (transformation) in contractual Gemini (at 7 degrees). Her Venus (attracting power, artistry) was also part of that Neptune-Pluto conjunction (at 3 degrees of Gemini). Venus-Neptune individuals can often leave us “spellbound,” while  Venus-Pluto natives are often able to wield great personal power and charisma as well.

When Pickford also signed her million dollar movie contract, that day in the sky, the transiting Sun (recognition, power) and Pluto (reform) were exactly conjunct in feminine Cancer, and Venus (money) and Saturn (success) were also tightly conjunct (one degree) in that same sign as well, definitely putting a spotlight on the “Goddess” energy. Venus conjunct Saturn is also an excellent astrological aspect for stabilizing or solidifying one’s finances.

“You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call  ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.” Mary Pickford

Hope you enjoy your Monday!

Today’s Astrology June 12, 2019: Mars Conjunct North Node

Cosmic Weather:

The Moon continues in relationship Libra, all day, making a flowing trine to the inquisitive Gemini Sun, this morning (8:57 am), hopefully helping us to feel more of a sense of inner peace or ease with others. This aspect also nicely supports any self-promotion within the public arena as well as any teamwork endeavors. Of course, hanging out with others also often affords us the chance to gain new perspectives on things, or to see the world from a wider lens, and that is something that the curious Gemini Sun most definitely relishes, along with conversation!

Additionally, engaging in face-to-face interactions is also a very good way for us to potentially increase our levels of empathy for each other. Leo Buscaglia (also known as “Dr. Love”) said that, “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” 

Assertive Mars is also conjunct the North Node in nurturing Cancer, this evening (at 6:46 pm), an influence that can inspire or motivate us to make some headway or progress along what we perceive to be is our own unique, special life path. We may want to especially pay attention now to what is calling out to us, from our heart. Where are we being led? In what direction are we being nudged or prodded to grow, maybe in a courageous way?

“Of all the paths a man could strike into, there is, at any given moment, a best path. A thing which, here and now, it were of all things wisest for him to do. To find this path, and walk in it, is the one thing needful for him.” Thomas Carlyle

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Today’s Astrology May 21, 2019: Sun and Mercury Enter Gemini

Cosmic Weather:

“When the trust account is high, communication is easy, instant, and effective.” Stephen R. Covey

Both the Sun (will) and Mercury (thinking) leave slow-moving, plodding Taurus, this morning, and enter breezy, cerebral Gemini, the communication sign, and the sign of the Twins. This sign is also ruled by Mercury so the ‘Winged Messenger’ feels right at home here.

For the next few weeks, with the Sun and Mercury in Gemini, we get to passionately, and independently, channel our inner reporter and astutely relay all the news/gossip/goings-on in our neck of the woods – whether it’s fit to print or not! 🙂

Gemini relishes making observations, drawing comparisons, taking notes, gathering/imparting/receiving information. It’s very social energy, yet emotionally detached, at the same time, which might be a very good thing now since assertive Mars is moving through feelings-oriented, reactive Cancer. The Gemini vibe here sort of balancing out the Cancer moodiness, self-protectiveness. Too, with both the Sun and Mercury deposited in articulate Gemini, there’s a better chance for us to be able to outwardly voice/write/express what’s going on inside of us, on an emotional level.

Meanwhile, Gemini also rules transportation and travel (especially trips of shorter duration), so we may find ourselves being a lot more mobile, over the next month or so. It might also be a time when we may think about getting a new car or be attending to vehicle-related matters.

Additionally today, the Sun and Mercury are in superior conjunction at 0 degrees of Gemini (9:06 am). A superior conjunction is the equivalent, so to speak, of a Full Moon, which means there’s an increased likelihood that we could experience sudden moments/flashes of greater clarity/brilliance now, including receiving answers/solutions to problems, or come across information/teachings/the right questions that greatly expand/fuel our awareness. We may also be more effective at communicating our thoughts and ideas now.

Famous May 21 Birthdays: Raymond Burr, Andrei Sakharov, Al Franken, Mr. T

“Intellectual freedom is essential — freedom to obtain and distribute information, freedom for open-minded and unfearing debate and freedom from pressure by officialdom and prejudices.” Andrei Sakharov

On This Day in History: On May 21, 1881, the American Red Cross is founded by Clara Barton, a pioneering nurse and humanitarian.

The Astrology that day: The Moon was in sympathetic/empathic Pisces, the sign of self-sacrifice and service to others. There was also a stellium of five planets and Chiron in anchoring, earthy Taurus, the sign in which our intentions are made manifest, including Venus (love) and Saturn (duty and responsibility), which were exactly conjunct in Taurus at 5 degrees; Jupiter (goodwill ambassador, philanthropist) was also at 9 degrees of Taurus and exactly trining Uranus (humanitarian, innovator) in healing Virgo.

“I have an almost complete disregard of precedent and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things always have been done… I defy the tyranny of precedent. I cannot afford the luxury of a closed mind. I go for anything new that might improve the past.” Clara Barton

Hope you enjoy your Tuesday!

Daily Astrology Scoop Horoscope, February 24, 2010: Gimme Shelter

“If I don’t get some shelter, Oh yeah, I’m gonna fade away.” Mick Jagger, Keith Richards songwriters, Gimme Shelter lyrics

The Moon’s passage through security-oriented Cancer inclines us to focus more on our roots, our homes, and the familial ties that bind us, so as to feel a greater sense of psychological safety and shelter.

Cancer is a very emotional and nurturing sign.  As a result, we may be more empathetic and sensitized to the human drama around us today.  Our sensory perceptions may be heightened. Our feelings, perhaps, more easily bruised. We may be more fearful of rejection, especially with the goodly supply of sensitive and delicate Pisces planets also in our arsenal now.

Wonderful planetary aspects prevail for any of our endeavors that call for the utilization of our own personal creativity and imagination. Cancer is ruled by the Moon and the Moon plays a big factor in our imaginative abilities.  Heart-felt writing is particularly favored today.  Or, with Cancer being the sign of the zodiac that also rules food, we may want to take that extra measure of creativity into the kitchen and experiment with different recipes or perhaps shop for more exotic types of food.

Romance can be mildly transforming and also hold a few pleasant surprises for us, but we must also be careful not to be too pushy with the object of our affections. That strategy could definitely backfire on us now.

Famous persons born this day: George Harrison, Steve Jobs, Joe Lieberman, Louise Woodward

Peace and love everyone.  Enjoy your day!

Daily Astrology Scoop Horoscope, February 15, 2010: Balloon Boy

“It is the soul’s duty to be loyal to its own desires.  It must abandon itself to its master passion.” Rebecca West, late English Writer.

Our passions stir, and our emotions deepen, as pleasure-seeking Venus, in tender-hearted Pisces, carries on her  harmonious sextile rendezvous with intense, enigmatic Pluto. Some of us may be completely swept off our feet and transported to a new realm of physical sharing and intimacy.

Always, too, with relationship Venus and transformational Pluto hooking up, the universe offers us a chance to glean fresh insights into our emotional natures, and the matter of our passions, and what heats them up.

Remember, the Balloon Boy incident, last fall?  Many of us were emotionally riveted to our TV’s for hours that afternoon, as that very strange saga was unfolding. Venus and Pluto were also together in the heavens then. However, the energy between them was more frictional; Venus was forming a challenging square aspect to Pluto that day.

While the energy flowing between between these two bodies is more harmonious today, the Balloon Boy incident does capture the essence of the Venus-Pluto configuration. It can implicate and play upon our raw emotions in a powerful way.  Too, with any Venus-Pluto energy, there’s always a chance for emotional manipulation, misuse of  power, and control issues surfacing, and some corresponding backlashes. The best way for us to behave here is too not force our own selfish agendas on other people today.

Creative, assertive Mars retrograde in Leo, favorably sextile to Saturn in partnership Libra, may also help us out here, with respect to any of our power urges getting out of hand. The Mars-Saturn energy can foster within us the practical awareness that to ultimately get ahead in our lives, and stay on top, we must be willing to be disciplined, diplomatic, focused, and hard-working.  The sensitive Pisces Moon also helps to deliver to us more empathy for other people today, as well as imbuing us with more imaginative know-how.

Famous persons born this day: Harvey Korman, Chris Farley, Marisa Berenson, Miranda July.

Peace and love.  Enjoy your day!
