COSMIC WEATHER:

“It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.” Herman Melville

The “grounded” Taurus Moon implores us to be practical today. However, mental Mercury’s conjunction with erratic, non-conforming Uranus in dreamy Pisces (11:06 am EST) may also have our heads spinning with “original” or more “off the wall” ideas (Uranus). Of course, the combination of these two forces could pose a bit of a dilemma for us, unless we find a satisfactory way to integrate both of these energies. Overall, probably a good day to profile or express our uniqueness, while simultaneously attempting to think outside of the proverbial box. Too, we don’t need to necessarily act on any new ideas or insights that we may get at this time.

Uranus, as the higher octave of Mercury, also rules our intuition. So with Mercury-Uranus, we are potentially better able to channel our intuitive awareness now, with answers and information seemingly coming to us “out of the blue.”

Communicator Mercury, governing our conscious thinking, also descends into fiery Aries today (12:47 pm EST) where it will stay until mid-May. In Aries, Mercury is decisive and fast to act on its ideas, often acting before thinking.  Mercury here can also be competitive, and usually has more of an affinity for debating, as well as for arguing.

Too, if we normally struggle to express ourselves through speech or words, we may find that Mercury’s placement here is a boon for our self-expression, endowing us with greater self-confidence and daring. Also, if we have been “stuck” in our patterns of thinking, it could be Mercury through Aries, can help us to see and or adopt new points of view. On the shadow side, we do need to avoid, however, being overly impatient and headstrong in our thoughts and attitudes now. Aries, as the first sign of the zodiac, tends to be more self-centered, with the keywords for Aries being, “I Am.”

Mercury joins expansive Jupiter in Aries and on Friday, change-agent Uranus will also move into Aries, where it will reside for the next 7 years. The Universe is magically aligning for us to take very exciting action (Aries) in our lives in the coming weeks and months ahead!

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope December 20, 2010: Sudden Twists

“Blame it on a simple twist of fate.” Bob Dylan

Cosmic Word Of The Day: Twist

(Mercury square Uranus.)

Twist: 1) to turn (something) from one direction to another, as by rotating or revolving. 2) to bend tortuously

Cosmic Weather:

Moon continues in “loquacious” Gemini.  “Can we talk your head off? Pretty, pretty, please, please, please???”

Intellectual Mercury (Gemini’s ruler) retrogrades back into” truth-serum” Sagittarius and forms a “Mighty Mouse” square with “electrifying” Uranus who is poised to wickedly “flip our mental switches” today, if given half a chance.

With Uranian’s shocking undercurrent messing with our fragile, tender brains, we are probably going to have to think faster than normal today, and also be comfortable taking up residency outside that cozy little circuit box. Change-agent Uranus likes for us to be unorthodox and innovative. Radically different in our thinking. When he’s up to it, he can even visit us with “flashes of genius.”

But there’s a hefty price to pay for all this phenomenal insight: Other people’s ideas may seem more tortuous or outright wacky to us now. And, we’re like sitting ducks, forced to hear them out. No help that the Moon is also in blabbermouth Gemini.

“Father, please forgive them. They know not what they say or think. They are being held hostage to “mad scientist” Uranus, who is sadly using them as props in a juvenile laboratory experiment. Cut them a little slack.  Don’t send them to that hot place down below to live out the rest of their days. Amen.”

Regardless, we may want to avoid making snap decisions today.  Too, it may be wise for all of us to keep that positive, patriotic chant playing in our heads throughout the day: “Yes we can, yes we can. Yes we can make it through this fast-paced, maniacal day. So help us President Obama. Amen.” 🙂

“What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.” Donald Trump.

Cosmic Word Of The Day: Accelerate

(Mercury square Uranus)

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

“All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.” Carl Jung

Mercury Sextile Pluto Aspect: Insight for Solving Life’s Riddles

This Date In History:

November 12, 1970:

Scientists perform the first artificial synthesis of a live cell.

Mental Mercury, governing logic and reasoning ability, is in Investigative Scorpio, the sign of DNA, regeneration, and the mysteries of life. Mercury, at 29 degrees of Scorpio, is exactly sextile to Scorpio’s ruler Pluto, at 29 degrees of Analytical Virgo, which is also the sign of physical health. (The harmonious 60 degree sextile aspect signifies “opportunity.”)

Mercury sextile Pluto is among the premier aspects for research, as Mercury’s understanding and reasoning is given much greater depth and focus when aligned with intense Pluto, which symbolizes what’s “hidden below” (life at the cellular level). Too, Mercury’s placement in Scorpio, in addition to its “sextile to Pluto,” was like having a ‘double whammy’ of Resourceful Scorpio energy to work with that day.

Plus, Probing Pluto was in Health-Oriented Virgo.  Virgo is a sign associated with microscopically “breaking things down” so as to understand them better.

Other very powerful, game-changing influences were also around that day:

Mercury was tightly conjunct Visualizing, Imaginative Neptune at 0 degrees of Scholastic Sagittarius, giving a greater ability to creatively “duplicate” or “replicate” situations.

Fortuitous Venus and Jupiter were exactly conjunct in Mystery-Solving Scorpio, perhaps bringing an element of “luck” and “more advantageous conditions” to the matter of research and problem-solving (Scorpio).

The Sun was in Multiplying Scorpio exactly opposite Karma Lord Saturn in “Material” Taurus. Saturn represents “form-building.” Oppositions denote “turning points.”

Finally, Pioneering Mars in Intellectual Libra was also separating from an intense conjunction with Genius Uranus, a planet known to bestow “sudden flashes of brilliance.”  Uranus acts as a catalyst for change, and often manifests it through technological and scientific aadvancement.

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope September 26, 2010: Chocolate Kisses

“Food, like a loving touch or a glimpse of divine power, has that ability to comfort.” Norman Kolpas


COSMIC WEATHER:

While we may still be swimming around in the “deeper waters” today, seeking the truth, due to the “Illuminating” Sun separating from “Revealing” Pluto, and the “Love Duo” Venus and Mars conjoined in “Intense” Scorpio, the “Pampering” Taurus Moon is also beckoning us to selfishly relax and indulge our senses. She’s advising: “Steal some sweet time together to enjoy a few chocolate kisses.”

Too, at the end of the day, what problem is so insurmountable that it cannot be made more manageable, or eradicated altogether, with a little bit of chocolate? I can’t think of any, can you?

“Chocolate is nature’s way of making up for Mondays.” Anonymous

The “Money–Sign” Taurus Moon also makes it a good day to figure out and balance our checkbook and to shop for new possessions.

Celebrity Birthday:

American composer, George Gershwin, who composed over 700 songs, was born on September 26, 1898 in Brooklyn, New York. Gershwin was a Creative Libra Sun with an Inventive Aquarian Moon and both Uranus and Saturn conjunct his Inspirational Sagittarius Ascendant.  Uranus on the Ascendant is often a trademark of someone with extraordinary originality, if not outright genius. Disciplinarian Saturn probably also helped Gershwin to channel his many gifts in a structured and focused way, as Saturn on the Ascendant tends to make one very dutiful and personally ambitious.

Patricia’s Daily Astrology Horoscope June 28, 2010: Karmic Equation

“Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity.” Edwin Hubbel Chapin

“Cosmic Word of The Day”: Equation

Definition: 1) the act of equating or making equal; equalization: the symbolic equation of darkness with death; 2) Mathematics – an expression or a proposition, often algebraic, asserting the equality of two quantities.

Origin: 1350-1400; ME < L aequation – (s. of aequatio) an equalizing

Cosmic Weather: The Moon leaves Bureaucratic Capricorn for High IQ Aquarius (8:53 am EDT).  This boosts our cognitive capabilities and adds potency to the existing Jupiter-Uranus “genius configuration” in spirited Aries.

Also, with Thought-Keeper Mercury stationed now in familial Cancer opposite past life Pluto, this may be an ideal time to ponder Einstein’s alternate “Theory of Relatives.”  Specifically, how our lovable but ever-so-wacky relatives figure into our complicated Karmic Equation.

It could be, too, that we’re finally able to solve the long-standing cosmic riddle regarding which family member keeps leaving the frickin’ cap off the toothpaste tube!

“Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by the accidents of time, or place, or circumstances, are brought into closer connection with you.” Augustine of Hippo

NEWS UPDATE: The New York Times is reporting Federal Agents Arrested 10 people on Sunday on Charges of spying for Russia. If you recall my blog horoscope for yesterday (Sunday) was entitled “Spy Network.” My Cosmic Word for the day was “spy.” I had a hunch some fish were going to be caught with Information Agent Mercury opposite Master Spy Pluto, and I was right!  When you start following Pluto around, you see a habitual pattern of espionage and intrigue.  Pluto rules forces that are hidden. Mercury brings these hidden forces to our attention.

I need a pay raise!

Famous June 28th birthdays: Kellie Pickler (23), John Cusak (43)

Enjoy your Monday!

Remember that each and every one of us figures prominently into the equation in some way.

Cosmic Word of The Day June 21, 2010: Change

“They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.” Confucius

Patrice’s “Cosmic Word of The Day”: Change

change pronounced “cheynj”

verb (used with object)

1) to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone 2) to transform or convert 3) to substitute another or others for 4) to give or get smaller money in exchange for

origin: 1175-1225 L cambire “to exchange”


Cosmic weather: With the arrival of the Summer Solstice today and the official switch in the northern hemisphere from spring to summer, there is hopeful change being served up by Mother Nature for the next three months.

This change is being made even more exciting due to the presence of innovative, but highly erratic, change-agent Uranus, who is ready and eager to greet the Sun today (via the “square aspect”) with his characteristic “mischievous smile.”

Uranus promises to change things up for us quite a bit this summer.

For example, if you’re accustomed to playing out your life’s song in the lower octaves, Uranus will likely suddenly change the score on you, so that you’ll also get a chance to know and play in the higher octaves as well.

Uranus, while more than a little quirky and unpredictable, is equated with originality and genius.  “Johnny One Note” doesn’t cut it with him. He wants us to be able to brilliantly improvise – and at a moment’s notice!

He especially longs for grand symphonic music from each and every one of us. That’s the preferred change Uranus is hoping to see from us this summer.

Let’s give Uranus our best thought, our best idea. Our best humanity. We really can change the world and, in the process, make some beautiful music together.

More cool change quotes:

“We did not change as we grew older; we just became more clearly ourselves.” Lynn Hall

“It’s the most unhappy people who most fear change.” Mignon McLaughlin

“I put a dollar in one of those change machines.  Nothing changed.” George Carlin

June 21 birthdays: Kris Allen (24), Prince William (27), Meredith Baxter (62)

Enjoy this Summer Solstice Monday!

Is that a symphony I hear?
