Astrology January 3, 2011: Power, Purging, and Food Fights

“He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.” Lao Tzu

“Well, it’s back to the daily grind for most of us today, as we get ready for the big eclipse new moon tomorrow. Regrettably, no more time to sit around and idly fantasize about George Clooney.

Fittingly today, we have the Moon in “busy bee” Capricorn (2:39 am EST) goading us on to be more productive. The main focus today is the Moon’s powerful conjunction to “Wikileaks’ director of intelligence” Pluto (12:42 pm EST), which can get us secretly involved with an array of clandestine power or control issues, particularly in the workplace. And, especially if we work for or around Hillary Clinton. 🙂

With Moon-Pluto, we often need to feel a heady sense of our own power and self-worth, and sometimes we try to achieve this by manipulating or controlling others, which can, of course, painfully backfire, triggering immense power struggles and vicious food fights. Especially since this conjunction is occurring about lunch time on the east coast, and in the D.C. area. So we need to tread carefully. Better, too, as Lao Tzu says, that we should seek to master ourselves instead. Especially maybe strive for more insight into whatever it is that is driving our desires. Pluto’s activated ray brings to the surface submerged emotions and feelings.

We may also want to see today if we can purge or eliminate (Pluto) redundant tasks or work duties, in a bid to become more self-managed and efficient. Always with Pluto, it is a good idea to try to pare things down, get rid of the bloat and excess. This includes, too, very discreetly passing any nasty, odorous digestive gas that may have been building up inside of us during the holidays. I also realize that this is a very delicate topic to discuss here, and am only doing so out of genuine concern for our physical well-being. Pluto does govern all forms of the excretion process, while the Moon rules food.

Additionally, it’s an excellent time for recycling. Pitch those things that we don’t want to have around us in 2011. An item that immediately comes to mind here: The bathroom scale! Get rid of the wicked thing!

In closing, here’s a perfect tie-in for today’s “budget-minded” Capricorn Moon. The front page of the Wall Street Journal, which reads: “Congress Targets Spending.” Pure delight to the tightwad Capricorn Moon’s eyes! Of course, we also have the Sun, Mars, and the previously alluded to “Pluto” in Capricorn, too. Adding even more zeal and passion to the budget-cutting process.

Some questions to maybe ask ourselves today:

Do we need to reign in our own personal spending?

What can we somewhat painlessly eliminate from our daily lives, that will have the net affect of putting more money in our pockets, at the end of each month?

Can we perhaps find new uses for old things, especially limpid male body parts?

Do we need to maybe start parting our hair on the right side now, in wake of the new republican-led congress in the U.S.?

The next question may be a bit of a stretch, but here it is: With the Moon in “teeth-ruling” Capricorn conjunct perceptive Pluto, should we maybe pay closer attention to how people eat and chew their food today, and perhaps note, for statistical and public health purposes, how many of them get noticeable food particles tragically trapped in their teeth? And what to do about it, if they do? Should we kindly chime in to a stranger in a restaurant, “Hey, buddy, I casually noticed you have a big, unsighly chunk of green spinach beside your front tooth that needs to immediately come out! Here’s some floss!” Maybe tell them, too, that we’re afraid if the spinach stays lodged in there for too long, it could become something permanent, and eventually that frightening reality could lead to massive epidemics of other people suffering the same plight. 🙂

A special treat for you today! Follow this link to business astrologer, Ellen Longo’s, forecast for the week. http://astro4business.com/

Holiday Etiquette Tips For The Twelve Astrological Signs

“Nothing is less important than which fork you use. Etiquette is the science of living. It embraces everything. It is ethics. It is honor.“ Emily Post

Definition of etiquette: 1) a prescribed or accepted code of usage in matters of ceremony, as at a court or in official or other formal observances 2) conventional requirements as to social behavior

Displaying proper etiquette can help us to move gracefully through social situations, and consequently help put others at ease. Employing etiquette demonstrates a caring for others, and a respect for ourselves.

With that said, below are some “holiday etiquette tips” for the twelve signs of the zodiac, served up in a more humorous fashion.

Aries: Remember to pay close attention to any “RSVP” invitations that you receive. In your characteristic haste, you can easily forget to respond, leaving the host or hostess dangling in the air, as to whether or not you will be attending an event. Also, given your “spur of the moment,” impulsive side, do try to refrain from “crashing” any parties (going somewhere uninvited).

Taurus: Do not serve yourself first at the dinner table, whenever you are hosting a party. Too, although you may be tempted, please do not reach for food on other people’s plates. We know you are self-indulgent, with a characteristically hearty appetite, but you’ll be better off here with a little bit of discipline. Your guests will also appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Gemini: Please remember to turn off your cell phone at any social or holiday functions. With your incessant penchant for chatting, this may be difficult. Also, no talking with your mouth full.

Cancer: Unless you are partying or socializing with relatives, please do not inquire with the hostess about the matter of leftovers. Or do not bring along doggie bags from home for the purpose of stealthily pilfering appetizers or h’orderves. Since your thoughts are mostly food-based, and you automatically squirrel away copious amounts of food for the future, for fear of possible famine, these restraints could pose some personal challenges.

Leo: It’s true that you can be highly entertaining, and we all know that you enjoy basking in the spotlight, but if you see that most of the guests have already left an event, and the hostess is glaring at you and yawning, please take the cue and kindly go.

Virgo: If you go to a party and the napkins don’t match the table cloth, or if you see someone has spilled their drink, or maybe dropped a lettuce leaf on the table, please try to kindly take it all in stride and refrain from making any critical or personally defamatory remarks about these matters. Even though we know that you’re dying inside to say something scolding.

Libra: Don’t show up at a holiday function with a guest, unless that person has also been invited. Bringing along uninvited guests to an event can be a real temptation for you, as you are such a social butterfly and constantly meeting new people and sleeping around. Also, don’t apply lipstick or other makeup at the dinner table, which you tend to do after you eat. This may apply to some of the Libra guys as well. 🙂

Scorpio: Avoid asking for detailed explanations, whenever guests arrive late to your holiday events: Who, what, when, where, and why. We know you are intrinsically suspicious and revel in giving others the third degree, but remember, it’s the holiday season. Just try to relax and enjoy. You really can do this!

Sagittarius: Steer clear of discussing hot-button topics, such as religion or politics, at holiday functions, and avoid food fights at the dinner table with those who disagree with you, especially with young children. Keep in mind that you need to lead by example.

Capricorn: It’s common knowledge that you are frugal, but please try not to be a Scrooge during the holidays. If you’re invited to a holiday party, be a good sport and spring for a nice gift for the host or hostess.

Aquarius: Make sure before you depart for a holiday event or social function, that you double-check the date, place, and time for it. You have been known to get a little lost or confused with these kinds of things, and show up on the wrong day, place, etc., causing untold embarrassment for yourself and others. Also, if it’s a black-tie affair, please wear more than just a black tie to the event. We all know about your reputation for acting a little foolish or outrageous.

Pisces: We know as a fish that you love to drink, but try not to reach for other guests’ drinks.

Patricia’s Daily Astrology Horoscope July 14, 2010: Neat Freak

“Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before the snow has stopped falling.” Phyllis Diller

“Cosmic Word of The Day”: Clean

Definition: 1) free from dirt; unsoiled; unstained 2) free from foreign or extraneous matter 3) free from pollution; unadulterated; pure 4) habitually free from dirt 5) characterized by a fresh, wholesome quality

Origin: bef. 900;  ME clene, OE claene, pure, clear

COSMIC WEATHER:

Moon vacates fun-loving Leo for tidy Virgo (9:15 am EDT), where it meets up with the likes of Venus, Mars, and Saturn already meticulously holed up there.

We’re suddenly finding it more difficult to breathe.

It’s part of the colossal anxiety attack that we’re experiencing from all the dust.

The frickin’ dust!

We’re suddenly noticing it’s everywhere. Even on our significant other’s gum line!

What’s worse: We’re plum out of Pledge!

“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” Pablo Picasso

Activities, areas favored today: dusting; removing scum and stains; steam-cleaning; doing laundry; hanging our spouse out to dry; going to the laundromat and observing the spin cycle, close-up; organizing and re-arranging our extra-marital affairs; going to the library to research the history of dust and dirt; medical and health research; nutrition studies; employment-related matters; all forms of etiquette-training, particularly for our mates, so that they will stop chewing their food with their frickin’ mouths open.  Drives me crazy!

In the News: BP has reportedly installed a new sealing cap on the leaky well in the Gulf. As we stated here the other day, the present, powerful Sun-Mars sextile energy is about the best we can hope for, as far as having success with containing this matter, as Mars is deposited in the detailed, analytical, clean sign of Virgo.  Virgo is very practical and industrious when it comes to cleaning things up and Mars is also very talented at pioneering and initiating new efforts, especially when configurated with the brilliantly illuminating Sun.  Let’s hope and pray that it works.

Famous July 14th Cancerian birthdays: Tommy Mottola (61).  Gone, but not forgotten: Ingmar Bergman, President Gerald R. Ford.

“I am a Ford, not a Lincoln.” President Gerald R. Ford

“I write scripts to serve as skeletons awaiting the flesh and sinew of images.” Ingmar Bergman.

Enjoy your Wednesday!

You better pray that the grocery store has at least one can of Pledge on the shelf. Too, with the multiple Virgo line-up, you probably need to purchase a caseload.
