“Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand: Come and see my shining palace built upon the sand!” Edna St. Vincent Millay.

Cosmic Watch:

The Moon enters nesting Cancer (at 7:39 am) accenting home and family matters. Cancerian energy is nurturing and protective and is sometimes afraid of letting go or venturing outside of perceived comfort zones. Too, just taking baby steps – instead of big leaps – is often a good way to expose to new experiences.

The Sun is finishing up its annual romp in initiating Aries today. Also, the Sun’s quincunx to Saturn, in organizing Virgo, may press us to be accountable for some of our actions of late and whether we have been putting our time/resources to good use.

“This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections.” Saint Augustine.

Memorable event in history on this date:

April 19, 2005 – Pope Benedict XVI, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, becomes the 265th Pope. The Cardinal (b. 4/16/27) had the transiting and transforming Pluto in Sagittarius exactly conjoined his 10th house of career when he became Pope.

Pluto often delivers to us those life-altering experiences and circumstances that can only be described as our destiny. Pluto also rules power and control and Pluto’s alignment on his 10th house conferred upon him the ultimate power as head of the Catholic church.

The sign of Sagittarius is on the Cardinal’s career house in his birth chart, originally suggesting a possible life path in the church, as Sagittarius rules traditional religion. The Pope also has several other aspects in his horoscope that reiterate a more spiritually focused undertaking for this life.
