“Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.”Tony Robbins
The “ingenious” Moon in Aquarius is our clever companion and confidante for one more day. No matter what we choose to share with her, she will likely be able to offer up original insights on the topic. Too, with the empowering Sun in “domestic” Cancer, we may want to use this “brilliant” Aquarian energy to change things up on the home front. For instance, we may want to rearrange the furniture today. Or maybe go shopping for some unusual decorative pieces.
Of course, another easy way to perk up or revitalize our rooms is to put out fresh flowers. Flowers not only beautify our surroundings, and add lovely aromas, they also give oxygen. (BTW, orchids are ruled by Aquarius, while Cancer, governs white flowers and lilies.)
When we do make positive changes in our personal environment, they often have the net affect of invigorating other aspects of our lives, by helping to free up the “chi” or “energy flow” around us. The changes signaling to our subconscious a receptivity or willingness to try new things.
Do you feel energized or uplifted by your surroundings?
“Decorating is not about making stage sets, it’s not about making pretty pictures for the magazines; it’s really about creating a quality of life, a beauty that nourishes the soul.”Albert Hadley
Famous Birthdays:Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, turns 64 today. Camilla has her Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus all in “self-protective” Cancer in her 12th house of seclusion. She likely values her privacy and is probably content in a “behind the scenes” role. Her Sun, indicating the man (or husband) in her life, is also harmoniously trine to Jupiter, the planet of royalty.
Camilla did indeed “find” her prince (Jupiter). Although, the pathway to “Prince Charming,” and “happy ever after,” was, as we all know, a bit complicated for Camilla. We hope the Duchess has a very happy, 64th birthday.
Enjoy your Sunday!

“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.

“Our inventions mirror our secret wishes.” Lawrence Durrell
It would be so helpful if someone could invent a delightful “speed dial feature” that I could add to my Crystal Ball that would allow me to expedite my fortune-telling capabilities and thereby free me up for other fun-filled activities such as vacuuming or maybe extensive removal of offensive tea or coffee stains from my soiled laundry.
It is highly embarrassing and bad feng shui energy to have stained laundry in the clothes hamper when you know that, at any minute, it could get discovered by space aliens. I hardly sleep at night anymore, I am so worried about the unsightly stains and my lack of time to remove them and how this dilemma may keep me from voyaging to new galaxies.
Too, all my life I have wanted more time for vacuuming, and I’m talking serious vacuuming here involving the use of several dirt bags. Done properly, and with deliberate, heartfelt effort, vacuuming can be such an intimate and incredibly mind-altering experience, especially when you live alone, and you’re female, and can seductively draw the curtains all the way back to vacuum.
I know, too, that I would rather listen to the sound of a vacuum than even to a symphony by any of the world’s greatest composers. There’s just something about the authentic, suction vacuum sound that is so reassuring and comforting. So primal.
As a woman, too, I know that my loyal vacuum will always be there for me to hold on to, unlike some of the dirt bag men in I’ve known in my life who eagerly sucked out my contents and then suddenly vanished into thin air, not even leaving me a trail of dust to spit on and vacuum up after.
The reason I am opening up and finally sharing with you my private vacuum wish today, something I have wanted to reveal to you for quite a while now, and also assorted details of my previous romantic encounters, and fervid desire for a speed dialer for my Crystal Ball, is because today in the cosmos we are deeply, deeply privileged to have impinging upon our cerebral consciousness the divine movement of “Thought Keeper” Mercury into intellectually-curious Gemini (1:41 am EDT), the communication sign, that it proudly rules.
Mercury here elevates our curiosity, accelerates our thinking, and makes us ravenous for information and conversation.
We also have an opportunity for colossal discoveries and the possibility of new inventions now because this Winged Creature will be aligning today with both expansive Jupiter and genius Uranus via the stimulating sextile aspect, assuming everyone has taken their Viagra, of course.
So, Mercury-Jupiter-Uranus together as one, spells B-I-G Day for the collective for brainy ideas that can change and transform the world. I am very excited about the possibilities of this energy.
By the way, here’s one obscure piece of astrological trivia for you that sort of fits right in here: Triple A Motor Club, the travel-related entity, came into being on a creative Mercury sextile Uranus day. Mercury pertains to both communication and transportation. Uranus, as most of us know, ushers in the new. Triple A was a pretty big deal, and more novel (Uranus) concept for travelers at the time (Mercury) – and it’s still around.
Meanwhile, the Moon changes from placid Taurus to Mercury’s very own restless Gemini sign today (at 6:12 pm EDT). The evening time may bring an even more accelerated pace to the cosmic energy, but we are also more potentially combative with a square to Mars. Vacuuming is highly advisable as an intelligent way to vent now. Especially for single women who have done their laundry.
“I’m not going to vacuum until Sears makes one you can ride on.” Roseanne Barr
This Update:
Just in to my attention from reporter Mercury in Gemini sextile Jupiter/Uranus in discovery Aries: Oldestexample of a leather shoe has been discovered by archaeologists in a cave in Armenia. It supposedly predates Stonehenge by 400 years and the Pyramids of Giza by 1,000 years. Researches say it was made from a single strip of leather and was made to fit the wearer’s foot. Wonder if it may need a little vacuuming? Can you imagine all the microscopic dirt and dust that must be on it. We will probably need a powerful industrial-size vacuum for this cleaning, don’t you think? Something energetic Mars in cleanaholic Virgo can easily handle.
Ironically, when I woke up this morning, I was thinking how it may just be our very karma and higher destiny now to clean and discover beaucoup amounts of new dirt all around us with this Jupiter/Uranus discovery energy and passionate Mars in pristine Virgo to guide us. I’m sure curious Mercury in Gemini today, too, will be able to scope out all the unlimited filth about each and everyone of us that’s fit to print and put on the internet. What a mind-boggling day to be a reporter!
Also, on a more serious note, with this powerful energy for cleaning now, maybe some genius will finally be able to figure out how to clean up the tragic mess in and along the Gulf. Mars will be in thorough Virgo until the end of July, perfect for devising new clean up strategies, especially along side Jupiter and Uranus. Lord of Karma Saturn is also in Virgo and quinqunx to poor disillusioned Neptune, ruler of the sea and oil.
Event in history on this date:
John F.Kennedy signs into law “equal pay for equal work” for men and women on June 10, 1963. Pioneering Mars was in Virgo, the sign of work, conjunct Uranus, the freeing planet of equality. How cool is that?
June 10th birthdays:
John Edwards, Eliot Spitzer (Wow, something in the cosmic drinking water for June 10th?)
Also, adding a new daily feature here. “The Cosmic Word for the Day.” Today’s Cosmic Word can actually be two words or one word: “Dust mite” or “Dustmite.” With Mercury, ruler of words, entering dual-bodied Gemini today, I thought it would be appropriate to have a word with two spellings.
Enjoy your Thursday! Find a way to unearth your dream and make it fit into your life today alongside that prehistoric shoe.
