Cosmic Weather:

The Sun Quincunx Jupiter Rx in Aquarius (10:18 am): Too much of a good thing could have unintended consequences! We also may want to restrain/curtail our “inner fixer” a bit as it’s easier now to get carried away with our fervor for corrections/so-called improvements.

The Sun Trines Pluto ( 9:53 pm): This more flowing (alchemical) aspect allows for transformations, transitions with relative ease. There’s also more of an ability to quickly see below the surface of things so we are better able to appreciate all that’s going on. Included here, we also become more keenly aware of what we may need to discard or purge in order to grow. On another level, this influence can instill within us a greater passion for what we love or fill us with a deeper sense of purpose or resolve.

The Moon also shifts from traditional Capricorn to inventive Aquarius this morning (11:23 am) and is in its Waxing Gibbous phase with 78% illumination.

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On September 16, 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs the Selective Training & Service Act (1st peacetime draft in U.S. history). This occurred some two weeks after the outbreak of World War II. This act required men between the ages of 21 and 30 to register with their local draft boards.

After signing the act into law, Roosevelt said, “America stands at the crossroads of its destiny. Time and distance have been shortened. A few weeks have seen great nations fall. We cannot remain indifferent to the philosophy of force now rampant in the world. We must and will marshal our great potential strength to fend off war from our shores. We must and will prevent our land from becoming a victim of aggression.” (From Politico)

Astrological highlights on 9/16/40: Warrior Mars (ruling the military) was applying to a potent conjunction (new beginning) with the leadership Sun (three degrees) in the planning sign of Virgo. Mars was also just separating from a trine to Saturn and Jupiter, both conjunct in stabilizing Taurus, the sign which represents the resources at our disposal. Saturn and Jupiter together can help to, among other things, provide us with a more balanced/cautious/realistic view or assessment of the future. The Mars-Jupiter trine aspect was also exact on September 14th when this particular legislation was approved. The Mars-Jupiter alignment suggests/exemplifies expansion of military power/competitiveness/assertiveness.

“War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.” J.R.R. Tolkien.

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

Astrology January 8, 2014 – Mars Squares Jupiter

“Once one becomes a man, he can and must make his own decisions. But I do offer warning. Even a good thing can become destructive if taken to excess.” Brandon Sanderson

COSMIC WATCH:

Knowing when to go forward, and when to retreat, could get a bit more complicated for us today with “assertive” Mars making an exact square to “exuberant” Jupiter (5:36 pm EST). Often when these two planets align, we find ourselves going a little overboard with things. Of course, the fact that the Moon is also in “unbridled” Aries, until later this evening, doesn’t really make our discernment here, any easier. (The Moon enters “stabilizing” Taurus at 9:24 pm EST).

On the plus side, this planetary pairing can serve as a mighty elixir for finally goading some of us out of our self-imposed shells, or comfort zones, and into taking much-needed action on our behalf.  Mars-Jupiter aspects have been paired with acts of courage or bravery. “Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim.” Nora Ephron

If you felt no fear today, what would you do?

Astrology November 5, 2011: Moderation Is Suggested With Jupiter

astrology for november 5 2011, excess, fairy tale, going overboard, horoscope november 5 2011, mercury quinqunx jupiter, Moon in Pisces, pleasure, venus quinqunx jupiter

COSMIC WATCH:

Doing whatever brings us pleasure is recommended today with the Moon in creative and dreamy Pisces, a lunar placement that often inclines us to want to escape the daily grind. Too, Neptune-ruled Pisces is the official sign of fairy tales, so it’s not that surprising that we may want to steep ourselves in “never never land” for a while when the Moon is magically moving through here. Also, engaging in fantasy and using the powers of our imagination can be very healing and rejuvenating. Of course, all things that eventually manifest or take shape on the earth plane, are first initially seeded by our imagination. The Pisces Moon is also good for meditation or prayer.

However, we do need to be more mindful of not overdoing things today, as we have both Venus (what we love) and Mercury (our thinking and communication) forming stressful quinqunx aspects to Jupiter (expansion) in self-indulgent Taurus. With Jupiter roguishly in the picture, it is easier for us to do things to excess, or to overspend, misjudge or mis-calculate matters. By paying closer attention, though, to the devilish details and not glossing over costs, we still may be able to make some refreshing lemonade from the sour cosmic aspects. 🙂

Enjoy your Saturday!

Astrology September 22, 2011: Mercury, Venus and Jupiter Align

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon remains in nurturing, receptive Cancer, for most of the day, affording us a perfect venue to display more caring and feeling. This is a very healing placement for the Moon. One thing that we may need to cultivate today, however, is practicing some moderation or temperance. This is because both thinker Mercury, and pleasure-seeking Venus, are forming more challenging aspects to excessive, boastful Jupiter, in financial Taurus, which can incline us to go overboard, especially in our spending, or to overreach in general. We are probably wise not to overpromise or overcommit ourselves today, as we could be getting in over our head. Accordingly, we will want to eye details and fine print very carefully now and not take anything for granted that is not explicitly spelled out.

Later, the Moon’s ingress into kingly Leo (9:56 pm EDT) is our cue to assume our rightful, respectable seat on the throne and exert our personal power and influence over the next couple of days. 🙂

“Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.” William Shakespeare

People in the News: Speaking of royalty, highly influential, Simon Cowell, is back on TV in the U.S. with the new X-Factor, which debuted last night. Simon, a Libra Sun with a Sagittarius Moon, presently has regenerating Pluto, in ambitious Capricorn, exactly trine to his natal Pluto in work-related Virgo now. This is actually a long-term influence that he has had, off and on, for more than a year and a half, although now with Pluto stationing direct, last week, he is having it for a third and final time in his horoscope. Fascinatingly, at the inception of this influence is when Cowell first announced that he was leaving American Idol to bring the X-Factor to the U.S.

Pluto trine Pluto, an aspect we have only once in our lives, depending on how long we live, is always potentially a time when we can institute some major, transforming circumstances for ourselves. Pluto’s ray can also help to put into place, situations and or persons in our lives, that may allow us to wield more influence in the world. It is also the planet that rules the masses and governs mass appeal.  Some astrologers regard it as the planet of destiny that acquaints us with our “true mission” or “ higher purpose” in life. Or, at the very least, helps to get us involved with some activity or venture that we are very impassioned about.

Too, at the time of the show’s debut last night for 8 pm EDT, in the X-Factor’s horoscope, assertive Mars in entertainment Leo was forming a quinqunx aspect to “wounded healer” Chiron in Pisces, which was actually exact to the minute at the show’s start, with Mars at 1 degree 47 minutes of Leo and Chiron at 1 degree 47 minutes Pisces, respectively. It seemed that many of the show’s most talented contestants last night, which would be symbolized by competitive Mars in performing Leo, came from more difficult or troubled pasts (denoted by Chiron in suffering Pisces), circumstances that they were ambitiously attempting to rise above, including the last contestant, who had stated that he had just gotten out of rehab a couple months earlier for substance abuse (Pisces rules addiction). He went on to give a mesmerizing, gripping performance singing a wrap song that he had written. At the conclusion of his performance, Simon said something, to the affect, that a “star had been born.” I agreed.

Also in the X-Factor horoscope, Mars in creative Leo is applying to a trine to innovative, electrifying Uranus in spontaneous, pioneering Aries, a very good portender for unveiling performers on the show who are brilliant and very original in many regards (Uranus governs genius). This also would seem to bode well for viewership to the show. Interestingly, in Simon’s own horoscope, he has a version of this same aspect with his Libra Mars exactly sextile to Uranus in Leo, which may be one reason why he is so astute at scoping out potentially, towering talent in the entertainment arena. It’s a very futuristic, trend-setting, intuitive influence.

Did you see the X-Factor last night? If so, what did you think? Glad to see Simon and Paula back together?

Enjoy your Thursday!

Astrology July 5, 2011: Mercury Square Jupiter, Mercury Quinqunx Pluto

COSMIC WATCH:

“Vision without action is a dream. Action without vision is simply passing the time. Action with vision is making a positive difference.” Joel Barker

With cerebral Mercury in ostentatious Leo square to long-winded Jupiter in moneybags Taurus, we may be hatching some grandiose, “get rich quick” schemes in our heads today. But how to implement those ideas is where our vision may suddenly get murky. Mercury square Jupiter tends to make us go overboard in our thinking. We exaggerate outcomes. Get sloppy with the facts.

One saving grace for us here:  The Moon is deposited in practical, “detail-obsessed” Virgo. She will likely be taking critical aim at many of our hyperbolic meanderings, as soon as they surface.

We also have Mercury in Leo forming a stressful quinqunx to controlling Pluto in executive boardroom Capricorn. This aspect can tempt us to impose our will upon others, without their consent. If we choose to go down this prickly path, we may want to arm ourselves with an exit strategy, in advance. In the event our personal agendas meet with formidable, unfathomable resistance.

“If you want to be incrementally better: Be competitive. If you want to be exponentially better: Be cooperative.” Unknown

Have you ever had any luck with “get-rich-quick schemes?” Or are you too savvy to get involved with them in the first place? Do you think the “road to riches” has to be unduly difficult?

Astrology June 6, 2011: “Curb Excess” Sun Semi-square Jupiter

COSMIC WATCH:

“Success is curbing excess.” Patrice Thompson

The self-confident Leo Moon adds some pizzaz and a positive level of assuredness to our self-expression today, especially with its harmonious meet-up (sextile) with the empowering Sun in conversant Gemini, a favorable time for articulating our agendas (2:50 pm EDT).

The Sun, meanwhile, is also forming a semi-square to abundant Jupiter in indulgent Taurus cautioning us not to go overboard with our resources today. Often with overconfident Jupiter, we get carried away. The Leo Moon also tends to encourage extravagant behavior.
