Cosmic Weather:

“Faith does not need to push the river because faith is able to trust that there is a river. The river is flowing. We are in it.” Richard Rohr

The waning Moon exits detached Aquarius and shifts into transcendent Pisces (10:48 am), potentially creating more of a desire now for inner peace, disengagement, and, perhaps, relying more on our faith, over the next couple days.

However, about midday, today, the Moon also forms a square to assertive Mars, newly-deposited in quickening Gemini (12:44 pm). At this time, we may temporarily feel compelled to want to push or force matters along. It could maybe be due to a perceived need for defensive posturing. Or, perhaps, we’re simply exhibiting an overreaction to something cropping up in the moment that leaves us feeling a little unsettled. It’s possible, too, that an expectation that we had for something is also not being met. Or, it may be none of the above! 🙂

Anyway, in order to get back into the composure groove, we might find it best to just take a momentary pause, if possible. Try to get away from whatever is possibly pulling our trigger. Fortunately, too, a lunar sextile to ‘change strategist’ Uranus, in grounded Taurus (1:29 pm), can help us to suddenly gain a fresh, new perspective on matters so we no longer feel that we have to be in control mode. We’re also creatively practical with this aspect.

On This Day in History: On April 1, 1976, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs found Apple Computer in the garage of Jobs’ parent’s house in Cupertino, California.

Among the planetary aspects in the sky that day, pioneering Mars, in tenacious Cancer, was exactly forming a waning trine to Uranus, the ruler of technology, in the transforming sign of Scorpio. Mars-Uranus energy is perfect for putting into motion items or projects that are cutting-edge, original, or unique.

On a lighter note, thought it was kind of cool, too, that Mars was in home and family ruling Cancer, that day, and Apple was started in Jobs’ parent’s garage! Gotta’ love the synchronicity!

Today’s Astrology February 7, 2019: Sun Sextiles Jupiter, Mercury Sextiles Mars

Cosmic Weather:

“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

It’s a very cool, inspiring day in the heavens above! Hopefully, this will also translate into a plethora of inspiration for all of us, down below, on Mother Earth. We have two big planetary aspects especially impacting us now: The Sun in Aquarius is sextile to Jupiter in Sagittarius (7:33 pm), and Mercury in Aquarius is sextile to Mars in Aries (8:25 pm).

The Sun-Jupiter aspect is a fabulous fortifier for our own sense of faith or belief in ourselves. It helps us to have more enthusiasm for what we’re doing. It makes us more excited and confident about our own prospects for a bright future. We’re also more likely to be open to collaborating with others with divergent viewpoints, as we potentially have a better grasp of the bigger picture of how everything can work together now for the common good. Additionally, the Sun in bohemian Aquarius also encourages us to accept or embrace our own individuality, our own sense of self, and to not worry, unduly, about what others think of us.

Mercury sextile Mars, meanwhile, also helps our thoughts and ideas to flow very freely and fast today. Even more importantly, we’re more likely to act (Mars) on our ideas now, as Mars in assertive Aries enjoys putting things into motion, into taking the lead. This is super good energy for any intellectual work that we may have to do, for communicating, writing, problem-solving, brainstorming, coming up with new ideas. Also for drawing up and or signing contracts or agreements. Yours truly is signing some important paperwork today that has been on my radar screen for several weeks. Looking forward to finally putting my John Hancock on the dotted line! 🙂

The Moon is also in soothing Pisces, all day, which should be a nice, supportive backdrop for the other more active energies of the day. The Pisces Moon tends to make us more reflective and sympathetic. We may want to schedule some alone time for ourselves now, to maybe commune with nature. Or to, perhaps, engage in some quiet prayer, meditation, or reading. The Moon in Pisces will sextile transformational Pluto in Capricorn, later this afternoon (5:13 pm), and then go void of course until tomorrow morning, when it enters pioneering Aries (9:34 am).

*All times are EST.

On This Day in History: On February 7, 1964, The Beatles visit the U.S for the very first time. They were met by 3,000 screaming fans at Kennedy Airport! The Beatles had just scored their first No. 1 U.S. hit six days before with “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” In the sky that day, the Sun and Mars were conjunct in innovative, electrifying Aquarius suggesting something radically new and different was afloat in the collective. The Sun was also just separating from a sextile to propitious Jupiter in trailblazing Aries, the very same planetary aspect that we have today, except Jupiter was in Aries then.

Enjoy your day!

Patrice Astrology: Mercury, Mars, Neptune Triple Conjunction February 20, 2011

COSMIC WEATHER:

“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.” Michelangelo

We have a potent triple conjunction of Mercury (thoughts), Mars (motivator), and Neptune (fantasy) in “innovative” Aquarius, which is also the sign that rules groups and group behavior. Creative types and original thinkers will likely thrive today, as Neptune rules the imagination, artistic or musical expression, and Mercury and Mars can help to fire these things up. Aquarius energy can also aid to kindle our originality and genius, and give us the courage and wherewithal to view our lives and options in exciting new ways.

Additionally, this triple grouping of the planets can be a very spiritual time when we feel more of a “link with the divine,” as Neptune rules our “urge for spirituality.” Meditation, prayer, engaging in random acts of kindness, or perhaps visiting those who are ill or infirm, or otherwise confined, would be some great ways of using this energy in its most sublime manner. Again, with this conjunction occurring in group-oriented Aquarius, aligning ourselves with groups or organizations that do good works for the collective, would be ideal. Too, lest we forget, Neptune’s mantra is: “Serve or suffer.”

On the shadow side with this influence, there is potentially more of a tendency for “misplaced aggression.”  This is because the aggressive urge, ruled by Mars, has a potential for being “disguised” with its alignment with “masquerading” or “deceptive” Neptune. Historically, Mars-Neptune has also been associated with martyrdom and persecution, and taking advantage of those who are weaker or do not often seem to have a voice in their own affairs, like the downtrodden or disenfranchised groups.

We would probably all be well-advised to pay closer attention to the particular impulses that are “driving” our behavior and decisions now, and steer clear of acting on any irrational or self-aggrandizing ideas that do not propel us upward, to a better place in our head. Neptune’s ray unchecked can arouse paranoia or strange fears from seemingly out of nowhere. Once we detach and calmly study the irrationality of these things, however, we can simply release them and let them go, without acting upon them. Or we can transmute them into higher, creative expression, that serves to elevate or free us.

“There is much in the world to make us afraid. There is much more in our faith to make us unafraid.” Frederick W. Cropp.

“When there is a start to be made, don’t step over. Start where you are!” Edgar Cayce

COSMIC WEATHER:

As someone who has an early degree Aries Rising, this is my kind of day!

It’s a Monday, the start of a new work week, and the Moon is raring to go in manic Aries! For an extra dose of enthusiasm we also have energizer Mars (the ruler of Aries) enthusiastically forming a semi-fanatical, semi-square aspect to “think big” Jupiter.

Then, as a positive restraining and balancing influence, we still have Mars within range to a harmonious trine to “Yes, we can be successful! All we have to do is be willing to apply ourselves” Saturn. The net affect of all this mumbo jumbo today: Yes, we can make it happen! Let’s just do it! 🙂

“Fear knocked on the door. Faith answered. And lo, no one was there.” Author Unknown.

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope October 14, 2010: Hope Clocks In

COSMIC WEATHER:

We rise like the “Phoenix Capsule” today,

Perched on the Capable Wings of a Capricorn Moon.

Our indomitable will and spirit,

Dons brave form,

With Warrior Mars

Masterfully cloaked in Scorpio’s renewing armor.

Working in a coal mine in Chile,

A miraculous hope for the world,

Begins its daily shift.

Quote for the Day:

“When the world says, ‘Give up,’

Hope whispers, ‘Try it one more time.'” Source Unknown

Today’s affirmation:

“I intend to climb out of my hole. I have thirty-three lumps of “black coal hope,” tucked away in my cherished breast-pocket, cheering me on to my noble soul’s ascent.”

On This Date in History:

On October 14, 1964, Philips began experimenting with color TV. In the heavens, the transiting Moon was passing through Scientific Aquarius, the sign which rules television broadcasting. Activator Mars, in Entertainment Leo, was also exactly square to Photogenic Neptune in Transforming Scorpio.  Neptune rules photography and images.

“Mars-Neptune” is traditionally heralded in astrology as one of the most  imaginative and creative aspects of all. This is because Neptune rules the imagination and Mars acts as a catalyst to fire up whatever it is aligned with.  The nature of Mars is also pioneering, so with the help of the Experimental Aquarius Moon, there was this attempt to develop something new: “color TV images” (Neptune). Neptune is also often referred to as the planetary ray that makes us see things through “rose-colored glasses.” Another tie in here with color.

Patricia’s Astrology On this Day in History October 13: Shroud of Turin

12 Tuesday Oct 2010

On This Day In History:


On October 13, 1988, the “Shroud of Turin,” a linen cloth depicting the image of a man who looks to have sustained injuries, consistent with a crucifixion, that some also believe is the image of Jesus Christ at the time of his burial, is shown by carbon-testing to “be a fake” from the Middle Ages. However, to this day, the matter is still mired in much controversy. Some critics contend that the samples used for the testing were not typical of the entire shroud.

Fascinatingly, on this date, Communicator and News Reporter Mercury was retrograde in Libra and, as many of us know, information received under a retrograde Mercury can be revised or subject to change later.

Also, much more central to the matter here, is Traditionalist Saturn’s exact conjunction with Discovery Uranus at 27 degrees of Sagittarius.  Sagittarius is a sign associated with formal doctrine and religion.  Uranus rules modern science and testing (the carbon-testing), and Saturn represents the established form and structure in our lives, which in this case, would symbolize the common perception about the Shroud of Turin.

With Saturn-Uranus, which is a very powerful aspect, there can be a “sudden attack or jolt” (Uranus) to the foundational fabric of our lives (Saturn).  Uranus perennially acts like a “bolt of lightning” out of the blue. Since the sign of Sagittarius is also involved here, this new emergence was felt in the area of conventional religion.

Additionally, the transiting North Node of the Moon was at 11 degrees of Pisces, the sign of mysticism and spiritually, and exactly trine to transformer Pluto at 11 degrees of Scorpio, the sign that deals with the mysteries of life, death, and rebirth (or resurrection).

Pluto acts in such a way to shine a flashlight into a cave. We glean a new consciousness or awareness of what was previously hidden or obscured from view. Pluto also rules death and the Shroud of Turin depicts images of someone who likely died from being crucified.  The North Node of the Moon is often thought to play a part in our karmic and spiritual evolution. With the North Node-Pluto influence we were seeing the Shroud in a “new light.”

Also, the transiting South Node of the Moon at 11 degrees of Analytical Virgo was exactly conjunct Venus, with Venus ruling objects that we love and value. Venus could also be representative of the Shroud or cloth itself, a material item of the past (South Node rules the past), being put “under the Virgo microscope” for further study and digestion.

The Catholic Church is the owner of the Shroud of Turin. The cloth is currently stored in the Cappella della Santa Sindone (the chapel of the Holy Shroud) in the Duomo di San Giovanni. It is only displayed every 25 years, due to the fragile nature of the cloth. It will not be displayed again until 2025, although there is a replica of it available for viewing.
