Accelerate: 1) to move or go faster; increase in speed 2) to progress or develop faster
“With ‘Mental’ Mercury square to ‘Genius’ Uranus our thought processes are accelerated or speeded up today. We may receive sudden, brilliant, intuitive insights into things, and be able to solve problems and puzzles very quickly.
On the shadow side, however, this same configuration can also make us much more mentally restless, as well as hasty and rebellious in our speech and communication. Rebel Uranus tends to want to defy authority and become a law unto itself.
Additionally, we have Mercury sextile ‘Imaginative’ Neptune which bodes well for our creative and psychic abilities. A day when it is very easy to get lost in our fantasies. Too, we may also want to pay closer attention to our nocturnal dreams now which Neptune rules. They could be trying to tell us something.
Since Neptune also represents our “link with the divine” this is a good day to pray and meditate, and to read or write inspirational passages. ‘Going inward’ may also help to dispel or calm the uneven mental energy of Mercury-Uranus.”
“Hominid and human evolution took place over millions and not billions of years, but with the emergence of language there was a further acceleration of time and the rate of change.”William Irwin Thompson

It could very well be that we, too, will be seeing angels scurrying about today with “Mental” Mercury, ruling our conscious mind, exactly sextile to “Master Guru of Illusion” Neptune (8:14 am EST), which rules our powerful imagination and the creative urge. Fantasy Neptune also fittingly depicts here our “urge for spirituality” and “link with the divine.”
Mercury, which also governs communication, already is deposited in “I Believe We Can Fly And Touch The Sky” Sagittarius, a sign which characteristically endows us with a deep faith and an infectious zealousness for whatever it is that we believe in. Sagittarius, in particular, speaks to us about our “higher beliefs” and “moral convictions.”
With Mercury in evangelizing Sag, we’re wanting to shout it out on a mountaintop, all manner of our beliefs, so any non-believers will hopefully hear our message and become saved by our mesmerizing gospel. Neptune, of course, just adds the psychedelic purple icing on the Mercury in Sag celestial cake.
“Yes, folks, take my word for it. We have angels flying around everywhere, from every persuasion, from every ethnic and cultural background. Some are even celebrities with their own talks show like Oprah Winfrey. Oprah may, indeed, even be getting ready to interview one or two of them for her last season, as some of the angels reportedly also have Hollywood agents.”
Mercury also rules the phone and email, and other communication channels, and aligned to fanciful Neptune in Electronics Aquarius, there is a good chance that we could also be hearing from that other “Heavenly Angel” today, George Clooney, checking to see if we’re still available for a date this Saturday night. 🙂
“George, I would really like to go out with you tonight, but I have so much vacuuming to do. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get away. Sorry, George.”
Besides evangelizing and vacuuming, here are some other Neptunian activities favored today with the linkup to Mercury: film-making, acting, writing, photography, poetry, music, songwriting, painting, sculpting, studying dreams, wine-making, creating costumes, masquerade balls, psychic development, visualization, prayer and meditation, volunteering, experimenting with makeup, purchasing cosmetics and perfumes, sauna treatments, walks on the beach, befriending fishes, dancing with mermaids “under the stars.”

Substance: 1) possessions, means, or wealth 2) substantial or solid character or quality
“With the Full Moon occurring in ‘Materially-Minded’ Taurus, we are more preoccupied with matters of substance. Although the Full Moon square to ‘Fantasy’ Neptune may also incline us to wish for magical, fanciful things as well. It could be that George Clooney resultingly figures prominently into the equation here. Especially with ‘Love Goddess’ Venus also trine ‘Delusional’ Neptune now.” 🙂

With the Full Moon in “Grounded” Taurus (12:28 pm EST) on Sunday, our focus shifts to more practical concerns. Taurus, the sign of money and possessions, characteristically goads us on to seek sustenance and refuge in “all things material.” Perhaps this Full Moon placement will work out to be a nice sales primer for retail merchants this holiday shopping season.
The Moon in “Venus-ruled” Taurus can also be very “self-indulgent” and “pleasure-seeking.” So, with the Full Moon here we may want to engage in some “self-pampering.” Possibly unwinding with a full body massage. Feasting on decadent, dark chocolate.
Too, this Taurus Full Moon is aligned with “Fantasy” Neptune which can make us long for things and experiences that are glittery and glamorous, no matter if they are only “make believe.”
It could be that how this all plays out is, when we are out and about doing our holiday shopping, we may suddenly have a “fanciful urge” to dial up George Clooney (who, by the way, is a Taurus), and invite him over to our heavenly pad for hot chocolate and gingerbread cookies during the midnight hour. 🙂
Or, maybe outside of Macy’s, when we look up in the sky, Darling George will be there, dressed up as Santa Claus, beckoning us to join him for a jolly sleigh ride among the clouds. How can we resist?
Or, maybe some of us will sit on that other Santa’s lap at Macy’s, and lovingly whisper in his ear (while also bribing him with a $20 bill), that we would really like for him to put George Clooney, unwrapped, for quick assembly, under our Holiday Tree.
Yes, a girl’s gotta’ dream! Especially with wicked, seductive Neptune deliciously prompting us now, and the “Earthy” and “Sensual” Taurus Full Moon penetrating our vulnerable, delicate psyches. Plus, “Love Goddess” Venus is direct again now in Romantic Libra and also trine “Imaginary Lover” Neptune. We can’t miss!
“George, George, George. Don’t despair. We will be with you shortly. To emotionally rescue you under the safe haven of the merry mistletoe. Try to hang in there, my friend.”

“When a fantasy turns you on, you’re obligated to God and nature to start doing it right away.” Stewart Brand
COSMIC WEATHER:
Moon continues in Food Source Cancer. Love Goddess Venus trines Imaginary Lover Neptune.
“Sudden Grocery-Store Romance. It could very well happen today! All the spicy ingredients are there for it to bubble over. Especially in aisle twelve where Mr. Whipple is secretly squeezing the Charmin.
We need to make sure we also take our cell phones with us in the produce department. Eyeing the cucumbers could trigger an urgent call from George Clooney requesting a date with us!
Yes, we’re all a bit delusional again today and being visited by phantom lovers with Venus-Neptune. Still, a girl’s got to dream! Too, it’s just a matter of time before George inevitably comes around. Just a matter of time. You know that, too, don’t you George? You know that you can’t go on forever, carrying on the charade, pretending that you don’t even know we exist. We’re here, George. And, we’re a waiting on you. Although now, we’re in the beer and wine section of the store. Drowning our sorrows, George. Drowning our sorrows. Trying to drink you out of our minds. Numbing the pain. The pain of your abandonment, George.”

“This is the true joy of life, the being used up for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one.” George Bernard Shaw
The Contemplative but Fantasy Prone Pisces Moon is still burning gardenia incense (until 9:59 pm EDT) in a bid to keep the passionate desire going between Venus and Mars in Lover’s Lane Libra.
But things are also a little complicated on the romantic front because every few minutes the Cleanaholic Virgo Sun sticks his big head into the bedroom to remind everyone that there’s oodles of vacuuming to do.
The Virgo Sun’s trine to Deep Transforming Agent Pluto has him also believing that what is really needed here is some deep steam cleaning of all the carpets and upholstery.
The Moon enters Active Aries later in the day (10:49 pm EDT) at which time the pace quickens considerably. In fact, we get so carried away with the excitement of the raw energy that we start to even vacuum underneath the bed sheets, putting a big, golden smile on the Virgo Sun’s face, while simultaneously causing expletives and threats to spew out of our “formerly sleeping” partner’s mouth. And we’re not even in bed with Mel Gibson!
“We have some very cool, life-changing energy around us in the guise of the Sun in Employment Virgo trine to Potent Pluto in Career Capricorn. Today could be one of those days in which we finally figure out or discover “our true calling” in life. It’s also a good time to apply or interview for a job, also realizing that stuff could get postponed etc, down the road, with the Mercury Retrograde in Virgo.
Also with the Mystical Pisces Moon and Past Life Pluto activated, this is a dynamite time for regression efforts. Or, for holding seances. Especially for channeling deceased politicians and bureaucrats with Pluto’s placement in governmental Capricorn. Perhaps, too, when the Moon enters Conquering Aries, we can try to connect with transitioned pioneers or former military leaders. I’m thinking maybe, General George Patton here? Or perhaps Genghis Khan?
If you also have any type of research to do, or better yet, spying to do, today is definitely the day to do it. Probably also superb for channeling former spies. Maybe “Maxwell Smart?”
In The News: A Sun-Pluto “spy story” for today. The NYT.com is reporting that the aide to President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan, implicated in a corruption investigation, is actually being paid by our own Central Intelligence Agency. Mohammed Zia Salehi, the chief of administration for the National Security Council, has apparently been on the CIA payroll for many years, although it is not known what his precise duties are. Pluto rules spies and espionage and when it’s ray is activated is often when we get “the real scoop” on things. It’s ray is activated today.

“The world, indeed, is like a dream and the treasures of the world are an alluring mirage! Like the apparent distances in a picture, things have no reality in themselves, but they are like heat haze.” Buddha
It’s Day Two of the Visionary Sagittarius Moon. Manic Mars is in a challenging 135-degree aspect to Deceptive Neptune in Brotherly Love Aquarius. The Grandiose Leo Sun is also contraparallel to Neptune who is quickly becoming hallucinatory from contraband drugs.
Obtuse Jupiter, Depressive Saturn, and Cruel Pluto are still tightly embraced in the historical Cardinal T-Cross, galvanizing many of us way beyond our normal limits.
“We’re pretty spaced out, no doubt about it. We may choose to engage in thought, but only at our own peril. And without any assurance that what we are actually thinking, seeing, hearing, or being told by others, has any underlying basis in reality. Just another typical day for many of us. But today we do have the added luxury of diamonds ‘descending from the sky.'”

COSMIC WEATHER:
We’ve been into the Neptunian Kool-Aid again.
We’re certain that George Clooney is hot for us.
Not to worry that we’ve never even met George Clooney.
We can tell he’s crazy for us by the cryptic way he looks at us in the magazine photographs.
And the way he licks his lips, when no one else is around.
We’re suffering from the three-D’s today: Delusion, Deception, and Diarrhea of the Mouth.
As Love Child Venus in Leo gets sucked into a tempestuous opposition with Deceptive Neptune. And, the Moon leaves Moneybags Taurus for Chatterbox Gemini.
We also are led to believe that today’s traveling, communicative Gemini Moon will surely inspire George to come a calling at our door.
Any minute now, that doorbell should be ringing.

“Reality is merely an illusion, although a very persistent one.” Albert Einstein
Reduced visibility in my Crystal Ball today due to a foggy Mars-Neptune aspect that is, slowly but surely, closing in around us. This weird, intoxicating influence will technically be exact tomorrow, but already we are feeling its spacey affects. The Moon in Aquarius also conjoins Neptune mid-morning (10:56 am EDT) and then enters Neptune-ruled Pisces early afternoon (at 1:34 pm EDT).
Mars fuels our passions, while Neptune drives our addictions and rules the urge to escape. You get these two together and we have a lot of energy to run away to la la land. We also have to be careful with drugs and alcohol.
It’s tangibly harder for us to see things clearly now with Neptune’s veil of illusion engulfing us. We are also much less focused. It’s probably best for us to just chill out and try putting off working on important stuff, if we can.
This Mars-Neptune energy is super, however, for any creative projects that we might need to do, especially involving music or art, as Neptune rules imagination and Mars can get it all fired up.
Mars also rules sex, and with Neptune ruling fantasy and the Moon entering romantic Pisces, it might be a perfect day to call in sick.
In the News:
The oil from the BP oil leak is nearing the Florida beaches, as Mars aggressively opposes insidious Neptune, which rules both the sea and oil. Mars symbolically officiates over assaults and here we have a sea-related assault on the beaches beginning to play out, in addition to all the other mayhem and tragedy that has already occurred with regard to this matter.
We also had that unfortunate incident yesterday in which the saw (ruled by Mars) apparently got stuck in the pipe in the latest BP efforts to cap the oil. Mars rules accidents and mishaps such as that.
CNN is also showing Neptunian photos today (Neptune rules images and photography) of the “Aquarian robots” working a mile underwater in the Gulf trying to stop the leak, and we have Neptune, the sea, in technological Aquarius.
Chiron, the Wounded Warrior in Pisces, turns Retrograde on Friday and Mars is also applying to an opposition to Chiron that will be exact on June 8th and 9th. I wonder if the retrograde Chiron motion will have an impact on the current situation in the Gulf? The day the BP oil leak occurred is the very day that Chiron entered Pisces. I had blogged here, the day before Chiron entered that sign, that I thought Chiron’s ingress into Pisces may have impact on sea and water issues, but I had no idea that it would happen so quickly. Sometimes things do occur the very day a body switches signs. Of course, Chiron’s entering Pisces did not “cause” the spill, but as astrologers we learn to “connect the dots.”
Chiron in Pisces may also end up being a big wake-up call for us, in terms of finally forcing us to move beyond our dependency on oil and pursue alternate energy sources.
Another “weird” story in the news that would fall under the “unreal quality” of the Mars-Neptune umbrella is Joran van der Sloot, the suspect in Natalie Holloway’s disappearance in Aruba (by the Neptune sea) exactly five years ago, is now the focus of an international manhunt after being suspected of killing a woman in Peru this past weekend. “Mars-Neptune” energy always has the potential for darker elements to it, as Mars rules violence and Neptune rules sacrifice and all things hidden. Mars-Neptune energy is often characterized as “misplaced aggression” or “hidden aggression.” Neptune’s ray can be very deceptive and nefarious. We do probably need to watch our tempers today to make sure that we are not acting out inappropriately.
Update: CNN is reporting that an Irish aid ship is heading for Gaza. Israel warns of attack if the ship fails to stop. Yet another manifestation of the volatile “Mars-Neptune” energy playing out on the high seas.
Update: NYT is reporting that the oil pipe has been cut this morning, reportedly a key step in halting the leak. Engineers can try now to place a cap to catch the leaking oil. Hopefully, this is a positive manifestation of the Mars opposition Neptune “sea energy” and the technologically savvy Aquarian Moon conjunct Neptune.
Opposition aspects can bring matters to a climax, with Mars again signifying the “cutting action” of the pipe and Neptune representing both the sea and the oil pipe.
We have had so many things fail in this endeavor to date that it’s hard to believe that something good could finally be happening here, but maybe something is with this mystifying and hard to see through Mars-Neptune energy, since it is so sea-related and Mars rules new action, and Chiron is getting ready to retrograde tomorrow in Pisces.
Could it also be someone is looking out for us here – maybe a higher Neptunian power? Neptune is our link to the Divine and Mars is activating that link now. Just a thought. Also, a hope.
June 3rd Birthdays: Anderson Cooper and Tony Curtis.
Enjoy your Thursday. Make some “beautiful music” with Neptune, or maybe meditate, tap into its higher, more freeing expression.

“He is not a lover who does not love forever.” Euripides.
The warm blend of feminine (Venus) and masculine (Mars) energies continues today, courtesy of the Universe, and surely a welcome reprieve from the other, ongoing, heavier cosmic vibrations.
Venus shows us what we value and appreciate and what we seek to attract to us in our lives. Venus also signifies our need for comforting connections or relationships.
Mars, the energy planet, is the keeper of our intimate sexual desires and speaks valiantly to us about our most heated passions.
The seductive sextile alignment of these two forces prompts us to want to assertively seek out those more amorous experiences that invigorate every layer of our physical being.
The fantasy-prone Pisces Moon sets the perfect backdrop for all this drama to unfold.
“I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach.” Elizabeth Barrett Browning (Pisces).
Celebrity News: Did you happen to see Oprah Winfrey’s TV show yesterday, a special celebration of ten years of her magazine that was broadcast live from Radio City Music Hall in New York city?
On the show, Dr. Phil McGraw shaved off his trademark moustache that he has been sporting for some 40 years. He said he did it because he has always been telling people that they have to be willing to change something and that he wanted to walk his talk, so he changed his appearance.
I’m personally not sure if I like him better clean-shaven or not. What about you?
Of course, being an astrologer, I had to check out Dr. Phil’s horoscope (born 9/1/50) to see if there existed any type of cosmic corollary to match the physical denudement. The results were rather fascinating.
For the last few days, Dr. Phil, an analytical Virgo (perfect sign for a psychologist), has had the transiting Mars in theatrical Leo exactly square to his natal Mars in transforming Scorpio. Mars is the planet of action, and normally when we have Mars aspects, especially to our birth chart Mars, we are more predisposed to act out and often in bold ways. We do things on impulse that we may not normally do, especially with the square aspect, which is more of a challenging influence.
With his natal Mars in the fixed sign of Scorpio, Dr. Phil is normally inclined to execute new moves in his life only after a good measure of careful strategy and planning. The Mars meet-up this week with his natal Mars may have provided him with a sudden impetus to want to change or transform himself (Scorpio) and also gave him the guts and courage to do so.
We have to figure though, too, that with his shrewd Scorpio Mars, that he also calculated in advance that shaving off his moustache would get both him and Oprah a lot of publicity and consequently be good entertainment (Mars in Leo) and positive for the TV ratings. Mars in Scorpio always covers all its bases. (Oprah also has Mars in Scorpio.)
Venus rules physical appearance and beauty. Yesterday when Dr. Phil had the moustache removed transiting Venus was exactly harmoniously trine his natal Neptune in Libra. Transiting Mars was also favorably sextiling his Neptune, so he had a double whammy of Neptunian energy going on. Neptune also is the ruler of his Pisces Ascendant which additionally governs outward appearance.
Neptune, as the higher octave of Venus, presides over visual images and illusion. It rules all forms of theater and manner of disguise (a moustache could be perceived as a disguise). Neptune also rules TV cameras.
So, with the Venus and Mars energy prodding Neptune along, we saw the public unveiling (Libra) before the Neptunian television camera of a new Dr. Phil, a new clean-shaven Venusian form (Mars rules shaving). Gone was the facial costume. Neptune whimsically lifting the curtain of illusion, so we could all peer in.
