Mars Conjunct Jupiter: Lincoln Delivers Gettysburg Address 11/19

This Date In History:

November 19, 1863:

U.S. President Abraham Lincoln delivers the “Gettysburg Address” at the dedication of the Soldiers’ National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The Gettysburg Address, of course, is regarded as one of the greatest speeches in American history. In the speech, Lincoln redefined the Civil War as a struggle that would bring about “a new birth of freedom” and “equality” to all Americans.

Fascinatingly, in the heavens that day, “Energizer” Mars and “Philosophical” Jupiter were exactly conjunct at 11 degrees of “Transforming” Scorpio. Jupiter symbolizes our moral convictions and philosophy of life. With Jupiter, we tend to look at the “bigger picture,” and how we all fit into it. Jupiter is regarded as benevolent and philanthropic in nature. It also rules politicians and public speaking.

Enthusiastic Mars, meanwhile, as ruler of Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, is very trailblazing and pioneering. It also is the planet of war (rules the aggressive urge), and signifies courage and bravery.

When we get Mars and Jupiter together, there is often an intense “zealousness,” a strong desire to “evangelize” or “convert” others to our way of thinking, our philosophy, as Mars “fires up” our beliefs and convictions (Jupiter). We passionately “go to battle” (Mars) for what we believe in (Jupiter).  Indeed, Mars-Jupiter is often indicative of “fanaticism” because it is linked with so much enthusiasm for our message and the causes we are espousing. Jupiter is characteristically “preachy” to begin with. It rules preachers and teachers, as part of its intrinsic “uplifting” nature.

Even though Pluto had not been “officially discovered” at the time, it was at 11 degrees of Taurus that day, which put it exactly opposite the Mars-Jupiter conjunction in Scorpio (Pluto now rules Scorpio).

Pluto denotes our “urge for regeneration,” or “rebirth,” and its energy and awareness tends to be very penetrating  and intense.  Pluto, in opposition to Mars-Jupiter, therefore, most likely served to magnify “even further” the passion and enthusiasm for renewal for the country that Lincoln must have been feeling that day delivering his speech. His message resonating at an optimum time for “mind altering impact” upon the public.

Pluto was also in Taurus which signifies “what we value,” and the Gettysburg Address was about learning to value “all Americans” as equals, a clear change from earlier consciousness (Pluto).

The Illuminating Sun and Mercury were also in Re-birthing Scorpio, and trine to the Compassionate Moon in Pisces, a Moon placement which inclines to make us more aware of our similarities versus our differences.  Pisces symbolizes our link “to the divine.” The Moon governs our emotions.  It also denotes “the public,” and again, with a Pisces Moon, there is more of an emotional receptivity and idealism regarding the “mood of the public.”

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope October 29, 2010: Dorothy In Oz

ancestry, astrology, astrology for october 29 2010, astrology october 29 2010, astrology signs, cooking, equality, family, family tree, free horoscope, home, horoscope, horoscope for october 29 2010, horoscope october 29 2010, Maya Angelou quote on home, Moon in Cancer, Moon in Leo, Moon in Taurus, National Organization of Women is founded October 29 1966, NOW, nurturing, redecorating, Saturn opposite Uranus, Venus square Jupiter, Wizard of Oz, women's issues, women's rights, zodiac, zodiac signs

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Moon continues in “There’s No Place Like Home” Cancer making “Dorothy in Oz” one happy little munchkin. The “Cook-Happy” Cancer Moon also throws harmonious trines to “Good Witch” Jupiter (10:28 am EDT) and “Wizard” Uranus (3:49 pm EDT) in “Fantasy-Prone” Pisces, giving us an itch to perhaps add some dreamy “rainbow sherbet” to the menu, for a change of pace.

Later on, the Moon roars into “Warmhearted” Leo (8:39 pm EDT). Even the “Cowardly Lion” begins to purr.

Activities highlighted today: Cooking, family dinners, trying out new recipes, grocery-shopping, shopping for furniture and home appliances, redecorating the home front, investigating ancestry, involvement with charitable undertakings, whatever outlets that allow for the demonstration of our nurturing abilities.

Quote for the day:

“I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.” Maya Angelou

On This Date in history:

On October 29, 1966 the National Organization of Women (NOW) was founded. Traditionalist Saturn was in Pisces, a sign that denotes the downtrodden and disenfranchised elements of a society. Saturn was in a tight opposition to Empowering, Equality-Ruling Uranus in Abilities and Skills Virgo.

 With Saturn opposite Uranus, we had a symbolic pitting of “the old” (Saturn) against “the new” (Uranus). Rebel Uranus in Service-Oriented Virgo was perhaps suggesting here that we should “equalize our roles of service,” “level the playing field.” Allow and empower individuals (women) to “serve” in new ways.

Protocol Minded Saturn, in Ego-Denying Pisces, was also possibly generating awareness of how the established rules (Saturn), over the years, had served to imprison and deny (Pisces) free expression (Uranus) to part of the populace.

Venus, ruling women, was in Regenerating Scorpio (redefining women) and exactly square to Expansive Jupiter in Self-Expressive Leo. As an organization, NOW immediately captured the spotlight (Leo) and had major (Jupiter) transformational impact on shaping women’s behavior and self-expression.

With Venus-Jupiter, too, we sometimes “go overboard” or “get carried away” in our desires. Those critical of NOW may say that, that has also been the case, that there has always been too much “zealotry” (Jupiter) with respect to the agenda and leadership (Leo) of the organization.

The Feminine Moon was also in Stabilizing and Steady Taurus, and involved in a Fixed T-Square to both Venus and Jupiter, making for more of an “uncompromising” emotional energy that is not known for “letting go.” Adding perhaps even more resolve and determination to the NOW organization and its operational principles.

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope October 19, 2010: We Are All One

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Domestic Moon remains in Divinity-Seeking Pisces. We are wanting to embark down those insightful roads that will lead us back to our soul’s “original home.”

With Mental Mercury in Peace-Keeping Libra quinqunx to Erratic Uranus, however, which is also positioned in Mystical Pisces, we may be a little unsure about which roads are really the “right roads to go down,” to ensure our soul’s sacred journey.

At the end of the day, The Balanced Libra Sun harmoniously trine to Spiritual Neptune in Futuristic Aquarius, beseeches us “not to worry.” The Sun-Neptune wisdom serenely purports to us that eventually “all paths lead to the same door,” and that all we need to remember is that “we are all one.”

Activities favored today: random acts of kindness, writing poetry, music, songs, prayer, meditation, theater, acting, experimenting with make-up, decorating, collecting seashells, befriending fishes, absconding with enlightened mermaids.

Quote For Today:

“By faithfulness we are collected and wound up into unity within ourselves, whereas we had been scattered abroad in multiplicity.” Saint Augustine

On This Date In History:

October 19, 1983: The U.S. Senate establishes Martin Luther King, Jr. federal holiday. Very notable here then was Pioneering Mars in Analytical Virgo in a tight square to Philosophical Jupiter in Highly Principled Sagittarius, the sign that Jupiter naturally rules.  Mars-Jupiter tends to “fire up” our idealism (Jupiter) and makes us want to go to war (Mars) for what we believe in (Jupiter). It is traditionally associated with political and social activism.

I also blogged the other day here how sometimes, too, Mars-Jupiter aspects are associated with “religious fanaticism,” as Jupiter also rules religion and Mars adds fuel and passion to that body of beliefs.  We always need to be careful with Mars-Jupiter that we don’t go overboard, as Jupiter tends to excessive behavior anyway, and on the shadow side, can additionally make us somewhat arrogant and cocksure that we alone hold the truth.

Additionally, Jupiter was separating from a conjunction to Equality-Ruling Uranus, which was also in the sign of Higher Beliefs Sagittarius. Uranus, ruling matters involving groups and the collective, characteristically delivers to us sudden insights and awareness, and in Sagittarius, these insights can help to shape our moral beliefs and behavior. Jupiter-Uranus tends to take us out of our normal belief set and allows us to feel more comfortable with or embrace non-traditional ideas, shatters some of Jupiter’s “moral superiority” notion.

We also presently have Jupiter and Uranus conjunct now in Idealistic Pisces, a sign that Jupiter co-rules with Neptune. Equality and humanitarian issues are emphasized with this conjunction and just last week, we had the federal judge striking down the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy, which had been in place in the military for almost two decades.

Another cool parallel to today was the Justice-Seeking Libra Sun then was exactly sextile to Compassionate Neptune which was also in Sagittarius. Today we have the Libra Sun trine Neptune in Brotherly Aquarius, a very similar aspect. Neptune is our link to the Divine and represents a state of consciousness in which “we are all one,” our personal borders and boundaries are dissolved.  Our compassion and humanity are stoked and we realize that we are all in this together. On Sun-Neptune days we become more preoccupied with our unity versus our differences. Therefore, we are more likely to espouse a a political philosophy of “inclusion,”  even on Capitol Hill.

“Any real ecstasy is a sign you are moving in the right direction.” St. Teresa of Avila


COSMIC WEATHER:

The Universe is suggesting we “mingle and merge,” this weekend.  It’s providing us with an idealistic, romantic Libra Moon all Friday and into Saturday.  The Moon will also conjoin “Love Goddess” Venus (4:59 am EDT Friday) and “Sex Lord” Mars (9:22 am EDT Friday).

The Moon will then descend into Sexual Scorpio on Saturday evening (8:27 pm EDT), at which time we are highly urged to practice our “night moves” with grace and precision, particularly when the Moon throws a “sextile” aspect to “Passionate” Pluto (1:37 am EDT Sunday).

We also have the option of continuing to perfect these steamy activities throughout the day on Sunday, as the Moon stays in Scorpio all day long. Or, we can choose to do weeding and yard work.  It’s up to us. We only need to make sure that if we do choose the second option, that we don’t get carried away and try to “get intimate”  with the lawn mower. A potentially painful proposition that could also result in an “uneven lawn,” which could make us wildly unpopular in the neighborhood.

In the News:

Federal Judge Vaughn R. Walker, on Thursday, lifted his stay on the same-sex marriages ban, paving the way for gay couples in California to marry in that state. Walker delayed, however, implementation of his order to lift the ban until August 18th.

Walker’s ruling a week ago, that a voter-approved ban on same sex marriage was unconstitutional, was rendered with pioneering Mars in Matrimonial Libra exactly squaring off with transformational Pluto in governmental Capricorn. Mars-Pluto can be indicative of someone “seizing power” or taking “forceful action.”  It is also a classic “war aspect” replete with power clashes and clashes of will. There is strong opposition to Judge Walker’s ruling.

Also, “Status Quo Preserver” Saturn in Nuptials Libra was opposite Uranus in Aries when Walker ruled last week.  Uranus is associated with equality and gay rights issues and also represents change. With the Saturn and Uranus opposition, once again, we had the pitting of the old versus the new, with the new winning out this time, perhaps also because of the simultaneously strong Mars-Pluto aspect which tends to bulldoze existing structures and protocol.

On August 18th, Saturn in relationship Libra will be exactly squaring transforming Pluto to a tee. It ought to be interesting to see how this aspect plays out. Saturn-Pluto can represent “death to the past,” but often not without a bitter fight and, of course, same-sex marriage remains a controversial and polarizing issue.

Enjoy your weekend!

I will be away from this blog for a while.  My 2 degree Aries rising is being sadistically hounded by the likes of Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto, at the moment, so I must go into seclusion and hiding for a while, with or without George Clooney. George, if you’re out there, I have some milk and cookies for you. Please stop by.

Anyway, I’ll return here once I deem it is safe to come back out. Right now, it’s a battlefield out there, so I’m seeking cover. I also do need some rest. Been burning the candle at both ends, and, sadly, there is very little of my candle left to burn at this point.

Patricia’s Daily Astrology Horoscope July 25, 2010: Brotherly Love

24 Saturday Jul 2010

“Individually we are one drop.  Together we are an ocean.” Ryunosuke Satoro

“Cosmic Word of The Day”: Link

Definition: 1) one of the rings or separate pieces of which a chain is composed 2) anything serving to connect one part or thing with another

Origin: 1375-1425;

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Full Moon in Brotherly Love Aquarius (9:37 pm EDT) makes us aware of “self versus others” and also shows us how we are all linked together. A good time to focus on how we fit in and interact within the context of group settings. Are we happy with the group activities and associations we’re involved with or is it maybe time to cut some ties here? Also, we may want to reflect on how we can unselfishly serve others for the greater good.

Additionally, with the Full Moon occurring in Futuristic Aquarius we have a greater capacity and inclination now to “think outside the box.” We should be challenging ourselves to look at old problems in new ways for the next couple weeks. We are also more prone to having sudden breakthroughs.

Expansive Jupiter continues to square Intense Pluto, helping to obsessively and passionately fuel our personal ambitions, however, we may want to take a breather here for a couple days and lay low.  This is because Nebulous Neptune is making very challenging aspects to both Mental Mercury and Initiator Mars, making navigation trickier and riskier.

Always with Neptune activated, there’s a strong possibility that we are not really being shown the full picture or pivotal information that we need to make wise decisions, is missing. Mercury’s entrance into logical-thinking Virgo on Tuesday helps to get us back on track here.

“Sometimes I’m confused by what I think is really obvious.  But what I think is really obvious obviously isn’t obvious.” Michael Stipe.

Okay, Michael!  It sounds like you have been drinking the Neptunian Kool-aid.

This Date in History: On July 25, 1960 – The Woolworth Company’s lunch counter in Greensboro, NC, that was the location of a sit-in that sparked demonstrations by African-Americans across the southern United States, serves its first meal to a black customer.

That day, transiting Mars, which heralds new beginnings, was in Taurus, the sign showing what we value. Mars was exactly quinqunx (adjustment aspect) to Expansive Jupiter in Sagittarius, ruling philosophy and our moral outlook. Mars-Jupiter aspects often coincide with our needing to take bold, courageous stands on our beliefs.

Famous July 25th Leo Birthdays: Matt Leblanc (43), Walter Payton (56)

Enjoy your Sunday!

Patricia’s Daily Astrology Horoscope July 22, 2010: Love Shack

“The highest reward for a man’s toil is not what he gets for it but what he becomes of it.” John Ruskin

“Cosmic Word of The Day”: Reward

Definition: 1) something given or received in return or recompense for service, merit, hardship, etc.

Origin: 1275-1325; ME rewarden, orig, to regard

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Illuminating Sun enters glamorous, party-lovin’ Leo today and warmly extends an intimate “sextile party invitation” to Geriatric Saturn, now hanging out all by himself in relationship Libra. The Sun surmises that Saturn is ready and eager to discreetly resume “copulating activities” after that long period of “presumed abstinence” in virginal Virgo.

Feeling sorry for Saturn, the Sun has also included some Viagra with his invitation. He figures Saturn was due this much-needed reward. The big trick now is to find somebody for Saturn to love. Although the Sun’s sextile to Saturn today should help Saturn in the “personal attraction” department. The Sun-Saturn sextile is often an “elevating” influence, a time when we are signaled out and rewarded for our past efforts.

The Sun knows, too, that Saturn has so much on his plate now, seeing that he is prominently involved in that steroidal Cardinal-T-Square with the likes of Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto, with Mars also joining the hullabaloo on July 29th.

Today, though, Saturn is “chilling out” and relaxing. Enjoying pina coladas and “paint by number” and working on his profile for the internet dating sites. Saturn figures he’s due some slack after the big move into romantic, artistic Libra.

He’s also trying to figure out how to get to the “Love Shack” where the Sun in Leo’s sizzling summer party is being held tonight. He’s heard a lot of “big shots” will be attending, so Saturn is especially looking forward to it, as he is always looking to further himself and enhance his career and status.

He’s normally adept with directions but he’s having a hard time reading the map without his new, pink-framed bifocals, which he has already misplaced again. The glasses were yet another gift from Appearances Queen Venus.

Saturn is squinting at the tiny print on the map and mumbling aloud: “It looks like I go to exit 209, then I turn left at Gibraltar, then I turn right at Bandero, then I go down a hill, then I go 15 miles…

“The tragedy of sexual intercourse is the perpetual virginity of the soul.” William B. Yeats

In the News: The issue of “race” jumped to the forefront this week with the sudden termination of that Agricultural Department Official, Shirley Sherrod, who apparently was axed prematurely for some comments that she made on race that were taken out of context.

I thought it interesting that the “confusion and embarrassing firing” occurred with the Sun in Cancer, the sign that rules agriculture, forming an exact challenging quinxqunx (adjustment) influence to nebulous Neptune in the sign of  Aquarius, which deals with equality and humanitarian issues.

Anytime we have Neptune prominent, we are more prone to being undermined and having “things not always being as they appear on the surface.”  Neptune is also associated with scandals and disrepute and Ms. Sherrod’s reputation was suddenly maligned.

We also have Saturn, ruling the past, forming the exact opposition to Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius, which governs equality issues. The Saturn-Uranus aspect has, unfortunately, stirred up “old wounds” again.

According to reports, Ms. Sherrod may be reinstated back at the Agriculture Department at a new job. Whether she goes back, is another question. Today’s Sun in leadership Leo sextile fence-mending Saturn in diplomatic Libra, would be a good time to further smooth this matter out and formally bestow an olive branch, which I believe was done late yesterday with the Sun-Saturn sextile influence already applying.

If you have an area of your life that needs some “massaging” or “salvaging,” you may also want to try to reach some level of accord or agreement today. Sun sextile Saturn can be very stabilizing and diplomatic, particularly with “peace-keeper” Libra involved. Good day for signing peace treaties.

“First learn the meaning of what you say, and then speak.” Epictetus.

Can you imagine, if each of us abided by that simple philosophy, how much quieter our world would be, in terms of sheer stillness? Especially on a day when the Moon enters Gemini, the “communication sign?”

Anyway, some food for thought today as the Moon switches from determined Taurus to breezy, noisy Gemini (9:18 am EDT). With the Moon here, we are much more restless and curious and want to be on the go.

We are also, theoretically, more talented at multi-tasking now with the duality of The Twins. However, with both mental Mercury and the Sun still weighed down in focused Taurus, this may not quite be the case today.

Still, a good day for errand-running, attending to emails, correspondence, reading, short trips.

And good for speaking, with some qualifications as noted above.

Event in history on this date:

On May 14, 1973, (Frontiero v. Richardson) the U.S. Supreme Court approved equal rights to females in the military. Included here, the Court decided that benefits given by the U.S. Military could not be given out differently because of gender.

Check out the cool cosmic energy backdrop for the Court’s decision then:

1) Expansive Jupiter was traveling through Aquarius, the futuristic sign of the collective, that is concerned with equality for all. Usually, wherever Jupiter is we have increased opportunities for the affairs ruled by the sign it is passing through, so hence, more chance for equal rights.

2) Saturn, Keeper of the Status Quo, was in intellectual Gemini and exactly harmoniously trine to liberating Uranus in Libra, the sign of the courts.  Uranus in Libra helped to broaden out the former way of thinking (Saturn) here and put the issue of equality on the table.  (Uranus rules Aquarius.)

3) Transformational Pluto had just entered court-ruling Libra. On the day of the decision, transiting Venus in Gemini was also favorably trine to Pluto. Venus depicts females. So, we correspondingly had a sweeping ruling involving women by the Court. Pluto is also synonymous with historic firsts.

4) Finally, feminine Venus was also square masculine Mars in Pisces, so we had the “gender issue” and “battle of the sexes” symbolically playing out here. Mars also rules the military. Squares meanwhile force actions.

Too, Mars in compassionate Pisces is more of a “spiritual warrior” placement. It is more concerned with fighting for civil rights when it is in this sign, as idealistic Pisces represents disenfranchised groups, or persons who are suffering. Mars therefore was temporarily more aligned with the cause of the female underdog passing through Pisces than it might normally be.

Enjoy your Friday! Remember, “know” the meaning of what you say, before you speak it.
