Cosmic Weather:

With the Scorpio New Moon intention-setting now in the rearview mirror, today’s First-Quarter Moon (7:46 am) poises us to spring into action to make our desired goals a reality. This Half-Moon in Aquarius also equips us to act with greater objectivity or detachment that can aid us in seeing our way ahead more clearly.

Luna’s monthly conjunction with expansive Jupiter (2:52 pm) may also make it easier to connect or partner with others who have similar visions for the collective or the community that we do. Moon-Jupiter also tends to fill us with more optimism. General Colin Powell once said, “Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.” While American philosopher William James stated, “Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power.”

How do you tend to see things? Is the glass half-full or half-empty?

On This Day in History: On November 11, 1919, Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day,” the first anniversary of the end of World War I. The US Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and November 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. (History.com)

Astrologically, on 11/11/19, Mars (which rules soldiers and the military) was in service-oriented Virgo and one degree separating from an exact, waning sextile to the authoritative Sun in Scorpio (the sign ruling death and rebirth). Intellectual Mercury was also in philosophical Sagittarius and exactly square to serious Saturn in Virgo, an influence that can make us more inclined to reflect upon or think about our past wounds or sorrows.

Born on This Day: Late Russian novelist, Fyodor Dostoevsky. He wrote in Crime and Punishment:

“The darker the night, the brighter the stars,
The deeper the grief, the closer is God!”

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well. Also want to say a big heartfelt “thank you” to all of our brave veterans.

Astrology September 13, 2021: First Quarter Moon in Sagittarius

Cosmic Weather:

There’s a First Quarter Moon in spontaneous, futuristic Sagittarius, this Monday, as Luna forms a square to the life-sustaining Sun in precise Virgo (4:39 pm). We are motivated to take action to forge ahead toward our wondrous destiny although we also may feel a bit bothered/constrained by the rules, our inner critic, or perhaps hemmed in by a quest for perfection.

Self-assertive Mars is also anaretic at 29 degrees of Virgo until it enters Libra, tomorrow evening (8:14 pm). Some astrologers refer to this degree as the “fate degree.” More commonly, it’s associated with last-minute pushes to finish things up, even though our energy for such matters may be waning.

Numerologically, the 13th of the month carries a more “no-nonsense” approach to affairs along with resilient determination.

One very sweet birthday to mention to you today: Milton Snavely Hershey was born on September 13th, back in 1857 in Derry Township, PA. (d. October 13, 1945). Hershey was an American chocolatier, businessman, and philanthropist. Trained in the confectionery business, Hershey pioneered the manufacture of caramel using fresh milk. He also introduced chocolate to much of the world. (Wikipedia)

“Caramels are only a fad. Chocolate is a permanent thing.” Milton S. Hershey

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology April 30, 2020: First Quarter Square, Mercury Conjunct Uranus

Cosmic Weather:

“To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it.” – Kurt Vonnegut

There’s a First Quarter Square between the dramatic Leo Moon and grounded Taurus Sun today (at 4:38 p,m). This may create a desire and a determination to want to venture outside the sanctity of our normal routines to experience something more glamorous or playful or creative.

Communicator Mercury is also having its annual conjunction with non-conforming Uranus in Taurus (values, money, comfort), later tonight (10:41 pm). Mercury-Uranus can sometimes feel like a bit of a horserace going on in our head as our thoughts and ideas can be galloping by us fast and furious now. Uranus, which is the higher octave of mental Mercury, generally tends to speed things up. This aspect is also associated with strokes of genius, originality, innovation, and intuition.

Since Mercury and Uranus are also aligned in financial Taurus it’s possible that we may come up with new or different ideas to make money now. Or, perhaps, it could be that we find ourselves facing situations or circumstances that challenge us now, maybe out of necessity, to simply be more creative or inventive in how we generate a revenue stream because how we operated in the past is possibly no longer a viable option.

“Much ingenuity with a little money is vastly more profitable and amusing than much money without ingenuity.” Arnold Bennett

Also tomorrow in the U.S., a coalition of many essential workers at Walmart, Amazon, FedEx, and other retailers are supposedly poised to go on strike to protest their working conditions during this COVID-19 era. Reform-minded, dissenting Uranus is often a prominent factor in strikes or protests. Speaker Mercury also gives workers a chance to voice their grievances or complaints. May 1 “Rent Strikes” are also reportedly planned in some cities across the U.S. on Friday.

Messenger Mercury formally governs the news and, for the last several days, we have also been hearing more and more about possible food shortages, particularly meat and poultry shortages or disruptions (Taurus governs the food supply). Earlier this week, for instance, with Mercury in Taurus exactly square to authoritative Saturn, President Trump signed an executive order (as part of the Defense Production Act) to keep meat plants open, citing that they are ‘critical infrastructure.’ Also yesterday, we heard a bit of positive news about breakthrough results (Mercury-Uranus) concerning a clinical study involving hospitalized COVID-19 patients who responded positively to Remdesivir, an antiviral drug experimentally used for treating the virus. The FDA is now reportedly moving at ‘lightning speed’ (Uranus!) to review data on the drug to hopefully get it officially approved and cleared for treatment for seriously ill Covid-19 patients.

Hope it’s a good one! Be safe and well.

Astrology December 4, 2019: First Quarter Moon in Pisces

Cosmic Weather:

A First Quarter Moon occurs in reflective Pisces today (1:59 am). This phase of the Moon (when Luna squares the Sun) normally requires us to take some sort of action in order to solidify or strengthen our New Moon vision or intentions. However, with the Moon also conjunct ethereal Neptune this morning (10:18 am), the modern-day ruler of Pisces, there could be a bit of inner uncertainty or confusion on how best to proceed. This also brings to mind what Benjamin Franklin once said: When in doubt, don’t!

Meanwhile, we could also come to a new awareness today that what we’ve been believing or assuming is the truth (Sun in Sagittarius) may be much more nuanced (Moon in Pisces) than we originally thought.

Numerologically, today is also a “four” day, suggesting a keen desire to lay down a foundation (such as the First Quarter Moon also implies). Guess we just need to be careful that we’re not building “castles in the air!” 🙂

Astrology November 4, 2019: First Quarter Moon in Aquarius

Cosmic Weather:

(Moon in Aquarius forms a waxing square to the Sun in Scorpio, at 11 degrees, 5:22 am)

So, a week ago, with the New Moon in ‘penetrating’ Scorpio, we likely put some new projects or activities into motion and, with today’s First Quarter Moon in ‘detached’ Aquarius, we now have, hopefully, just enough lunar light around to see how they’re faring.

The First Quarter Moon is synonymous with a “crisis in consciousness” in which we’re motivated to take some manner of action (the square aspect) normally in wake of some new, emerging reality, which could possibly be an event or situation suddenly unfolding.

The First Quarter Moon in ‘airy’ Aquarius also suggests that there’s a need now to step back, or to emotionally distance ourselves, from the more passionate orientation of the Scorpio New Moon. There may also be a special ability now to ingeniously tinker with our burgeoning creations so that they evolve in a way that more satisfactorily suits our needs for individuality or self-expression within the collective.

“It was my letting go that gave me a better hold.” Chris Matakas

Numerologically, with it being the 4th day of the month, we also have potentially more opportunity now to build a more solid foundation for ourselves. In Tarot, the 4th card of the Major Arcana is The Emperor, suggesting an ability to act with more authority and willpower.
