Cosmic Weather:

Beware! The “illuminating” Sun in archer Sagittarius is squaring “deceptive” Neptune in fishy Pisces today (3:59 am)! 🙂

As it is, most days are already crazy complicated enough to wade through. Don’t you agree? Why in the world we need to add psychedelic, hallucinatory Neptune to the cosmic setup now is beyond me. No doubt, it’s probably got something to do with inebriated gods up to no good at closing time!

Yet, on the other hand, we can probably all take pride and comfort in knowing that, today, it is likely a perfect time for attempting to walk across drought-stricken seas without fear of drowning. Or better yet, without fear of being swallowed up by an oversized minnow!

And on an even cheerier note, we do also have sweet, romantic Venus in “marrying for money” Capricorn sextile wishful-thinking Neptune (4:48 pm). So, at least there’s a shadow of hope that by the close of the day, some of us will probably end up being rescued by a wealthy prince or princess on a galactic-sized yacht so we can, hopefully, hang up our fishing poles for good! 🙂

Seriously, Venus sextile Neptune can, on occasion, match us up with our karmic soulmates. So that’s pretty cool. Or, at least pair us with acceptable substitutes. A comforting thought – especially since George Clooney is no longer an option, thanks to Amal!

“Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze.” Elinor Glyn.

Numerologically, today is also an “8” day often associated with money and power, and the ability to rein it in.

Born On This Day: American humorist James Thurber, in 1894, who once said: “One martini is all right. Two are too many, and three are not enough.”

Hope it’s a good one!

Today’s Astrology for September 10, 2019: Virgo Sun Opposes Disappearing Neptune

10 Tuesday Sep 2019

Cosmic Weather:

The illuminating, ego-conscious Sun in fastidious, bow-tied Virgo is forming its annual opposition to the grandest of all planetary disappearing acts: the visionary, trident-bearing Neptune, otherwise known as ‘the Great Dissolver,’ in selfless, oceanic Pisces (3:23 am), where the million-dollar views are, at best, blurred or obscured, and leaving virtually everything up to the imagination.

Suffice it to say, today may not be the best time to launch a full-scale fishing expedition for the facts or truth, unless we have plenty of time, perhaps, to play hide and seek. No, today we may be better off focusing our efforts on reeling in a whale of fantasy instead of channeling our inner Joe Friday. On the plus side, Sun-Neptune can be a very creative or inspired period.

On another level, the idealizing Sun-Neptune energy can also enjoin us with situations, people, or circumstances in which our caring or compassion is invoked; a time when our sense of oneness or communion, with what surrounds us, begins to seep through and delicately show itself.

“They both listened silently to the water, which to them was not just water, but the voice of life, the voice of Being, the voice of perpetual Becoming.” Herman Hesse, Sidhartha

Additionally today, the Moon is in progressive Aquarius so there can also be a yen for whatever is novel or new.

Favored activities today: Hiding our ego under a bushel basket; going fishing for our soul; paying it forward or performing acts of kindness; resting, relaxing, meditating; dancing; following our dreams; paying attention to synchronicities; deciphering the hidden meaning of cloud formatiions.

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On September 10, 1953, Swanson’s sell its first “TV dinner.” Astrologically, in the sky, that day, newsmaker Mercury in digesting Virgo was forming a waxing sextile to technology wiz kid Uranus in foodie Cancer. (Uranus also rules TV!)

Hope it’s a good one!

Today’s Astrology June 24, 2019: Venus Squares Neptune

24 Monday Jun 2019

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!

Astrology May 20, 2012: New Moon Solar Eclipse in Gemini

19 Saturday May 2012

COSMIC WATCH:

“After being in Harry Potter, I believe a bit more in magic than I did before.” Rupert Grint

We just may be able to pull a few rabbits out of the hat with the New Moon/Solar Eclipse at 0 degrees of clever Gemini (7:47 pm EDT) – the sign of thinking, communication, travel and transportation. New Moons herald new beginnings. Since this one is also a Solar Eclipse its impact is ramped up and extended (3 to 6 months).

Those most affected by this event will likely have planets within 5 degrees of the 0 degree mark of the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces). The house (or area of life) that this eclipse is falling in will provide the backdrop for this new start.

This lunation – which is a conjunction of the Sun and Moon – forms a tight square to psychedelic Neptune in oceanic Pisces,  suggesting that we may be doing a little bit of skinny dipping into the fertile waters of our imagination now to write this new chapter in our life. But, watch out! There’s no telling what may wash ashore with the curious Sun and Moon in Gemini being whimsically guided by master magician Neptune. If things appear too good to be true now, they probably are. Especially the glorious vision of George Clooney begging us to sail away with him on the Good Ship Lollipop for ole’ time’s sake. 🙂

Perennially a temptation with Neptune is a tendency to engage in wishful thinking. We also do not care to be reminded now that a rose also has a thorny stem.  Gemini is a very cerebral sign; however, aligned with Neptune our emotions and dreaminess tends to permeate our thoughts and reasoning.

Someone who has seemingly managed to masterfully integrate his imagination and idealism into his life’s work and self-expression is Paul McCartney. In a way, Paul is a good template for this eclipse as he not only has “magical mystery tour” Neptune exactly conjunct his Virgo Ascendant (how he views the world), he is also a Gemini Sun and Neptune exactly squares his Sun (what we have now). Granted, Paul is a rare, musical genius and most of us are not as gifted. But we still do have the ability to pick up that pole and go fishing within for the true answers.

Too, intellectual Mercury – Gemini’s ruler – is conjunct fortuitous Jupiter now. Both are together in grounded Taurus. This bodes well for our ability to not only think big but to also manifest what we see before us in our mind’s eye. The trick being – with the Moon and Sun in restless Gemini square fairy-tale Neptune – we will probably need to carefully pace ourselves and aim to bring one vision at a time to a satisfactory completion; otherwise, we run the risk of going adrift because we do not have our sail cast in any particular direction.

New Moon in Gemini activities: writing, blogging, reading, reporting, speaking, teaching, attending classes or lectures, short trips, sightseeing, visits with neighbors or siblings, sales, open air concerts, shopping for autos, cell phones, books.

What do you fantasize about? What fantasy would you most like to see come true for yourself? How committed are you to making your dreams reality?

Happy Eclipse Blessings!

COSMIC WATCH:

This Valentine’s Day begins with the Moon deposited in “passionate” Scorpio, which will likely intensify our emotions and desires. However, tonight, the ambience around us is much lighter with the Moon’s entrance into “exuberant, fun-loving” Sagittarius (7:57 pm EST). Too, Luna’s square to fantasy Neptune, in dreamy Pisces (8:41 pm EST), poises us to imagine sweet visions of “happy ever after” with our beloved. “My soul will find yours.” Jude Deveraux

February 14 Birthdays: Jimmy Hoffa, Phyllis McGuire, Mike Bloomberg.

What is most important to you in a love relationship?

Happy Valentine’s Day! May Cupid’s arrow find a direct path to your heart.

Astrology September 8, 2011: Mercury Opposes Fantasy Neptune

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon’s ingress into innovative, change-oriented Aquarius (5:43 am EDT) makes a case for trying out new approaches or strategies as we navigate our day. In fact, we are privy to a double-dose of cutting-edge Aquarian energy, at least the first half of the day, as we also have the Moon favorably sextiling Uranus, the planetary ruler of Aquarius (11:54 am EDT). Uranus governs science and technology and its ray is often implicated in breakthrough discoveries. This planet and the sign of Aquarius are also linked with group activities and humanitarian causes. Too, we still have the Sun and Venus in service-oriented Virgo. Virgo is also very research-minded and analytical, which should serve as a supportive backdrop for the inquisitive Moon in Aquarius energy both today and tomorrow.

Of course, to keep us on our toes, the Universe is also mischievously waving a big red flag at us today via mental Mercury’s third and final opposition to fantasy Neptune.  While this influence can be a windfall for endeavors that rely on imagination, such as art, music, and photography, we do need to be more astute regarding the people that we trust and or let into our inner circle. Also, maybe more skeptical about all that we hear now, especially if things seem a little fishy or too good to be true. Neptune, on the shadow side, is linked with deception and or delusion, including the self-generated kind.

“We are inclined to believe those whom we do not know because they have never deceived us.” Samuel Johnson

News Update With an Astrological Spin : With the Aquarian Moon exactly sextile hi-tech Uranus mid-day, it was announced that Google has agreed to buy Zagat for an undisclosed price, the longtime guide to restaurants around the country (NYT.com). Too, we do still have enterprising Mars in food-related Cancer, which rules the restaurant industry.

Daily Intention: I am looking at my world from a fresh perspective today and eagerly mapping out new avenues to explore.

Enjoy your Thursday!

COSMIC WATCH:

“Eventually you can get into the nuts and bolts of reality: nurturing, caring, and getting along.” Jody Watley

Love Goddess Venus enters self-protective, security-conscious, “Cancer the Crab,” the sign of home and family today. She will stay in Cancer until July 28th. Venus in Cancer inspires our deeper nurturing and caring impulses, and also heightens our desire for nesting and privacy.

Venus is also trine idealistic Neptune, in tender-hearted Pisces, making us extra forgiving, as well as more “fantasy-prone” in romance. This is a highly creative aspect that is excellent for any activity that calls for the full employment of our imagination. Many artists, musicians, writers, film-makers, and dancers will often have Venus-Neptune aspects prominent in their horoscopes, including the late Hans Christian Andersen, the Danish “fairy tale writer,” famous for his children’s stories.  Too, Venus trine Neptune is a classic aspect of “fairy tale romance,” so there’s a nice, synchronistic tie-in here.

We addtionally have intellectual Mercury in dramatic Leo making a fortuitous trine with brilliant Uranus in adventurous Aries. Uranus governs genius and intuition, so it’s possible that today will provide fertile ground for a plethora of “aha moments” to occur.

The Moon will also be in theatrical, glamorous Leo all day, favorable for parades and other “Fun Fourth” celebrations. Later tonight, she will shift into immaculate, attentive Virgo (9:16 pm EDT) to tidy everything up.

Famous people with Venus in Cancer: Meryl Streep, Clint Eastwood, Cameron Diaz, Lena Horne, Martin Sheen.

Happy Fourth of July!

Astrology June 22, 2011: Mars Square Fishy Neptune

COSMIC WATCH:

“The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.” Albert Einstein, a Pisces Sun.

Fantasy Neptune, ruler of our imagination and also the urge for escape, is captaining our ‘good ship lollipop’ today in oceanic Pisces. This is because not only do we have a Neptune-ruled, dreamy Pisces Moon all day, we also have the Sun in nesting Cancer trining inspirational Neptune. And, energizer Mars in idea Gemini is squaring Neptune.

With Neptune’s illusory ray so prominent now it is much easier for us to “go adrift,” so we need to be extra mindful about holding ourselves accountable with respect to whatever it is that we want to accomplish today. Although, at the same time, it may also be wise for us not to stack too much on our plates, if we can. Especially work that calls for strict attention to details or facts and figures.

Too, we do have the Pisces Moon void of course all day, so it is best to stick with old projects instead of undertaking anything new. We also are encouraged to focus our energies on more creative venues (film, photography, painting, dance, poetry). Immersion in more spiritual or mystical pursuits also serves us well now, as Neptune is our portal to Divine forces.

Also, if something seems a little fishy to us today, chances are good that it is and we may need to arm ourselves with a healthy dose of skepticism. Neptune, on the shadow side, characteristically has a way of pulling the proverbial wool over our eyes. It is the planet that is formally linked with deception, either self-deception or deception from others (con men). It is also tied with scandal and weird incidents in general (especially the Mars square Neptune aspect). Often the kind of strange stuff that we hear about, that has us scratching our heads, wondering what in the world a person was thinking? Neptune’s classic calling card. 🙂

In the News: President Obama is reportedly planning on addressing the nation tonight from the White House to discuss his plan for the withdrawal of armed forces from Afghanistan, something which is quite fascinating from an astrological standpoint, as we have Mars, governing war and the military, exactly square to Neptune which tends to act as a dissolving agent (diminishing the troop strength in this instance). Neptune is, in fact, known as the “Great Dissolver.”

From research I have done over the years, too, Neptune’s ray often figures prominently in historic peace efforts and treaty signings, reflective perhaps of Neptune’s overriding desire for “oneness,” or for a unified world “without division.”

One more thing. Gotta’ love this “fishy” Neptunian headline in the news today: “Chinese Find 55-foot sea monster!” Reportedly, the “sea monster” washed up on a beach in Guangdong, China. It’s decaying body weighed in at 4.5 tons. Unfortunately, the decomposition was too advanced to ID the remains.

Enjoy your Wednesday! But, be careful about drinking too much of the hallucinatory, Neptunian “Kool-Aid.” Don’t want you to have a hangover. Always trying to do our best to look out for you here. 🙂

COSMIC WATCH:

“Creating fantasy is a very personal thing, but you can’t take the process too seriously.” Joseph Barbera

Sweetheart Venus in lighthearted Gemini encounters veiled, deceptive Neptune in the murky waters of Pisces. That means things could be a little “fishy” for us today as we try to navigate our way through the relationship stream.  With Venus-Neptune, we often see things in others, magical traits or properties, that are not really there. We are also more willing to mask any flaws that others may have now, which is something that could come back to haunt us, if we’re not careful.

Fortunately for us today, though, we also have the Moon in relationship Libra conjunct “reality guru” Saturn (12:01 pm EDT). This insightful aspect should help us to cut through Neptune’s “purple haze” to arrive at a “clearer perspective.” Sobering Saturn never shies away from “telling it like it is,” and he has characteristically very little tolerance for Neptune’s desire for immersion in psychedelic fairy tales. 🙂
