Cosmic Weather:

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” Confucius

Today could seem just ‘a bit too much’ for us. Especially if we, perhaps, take more of a big picture view of things and focus mainly on our highest aspirations (Mars in Sagittarius), which may be a tad too large for us to realistically manifest, at this moment in time, without invoking a whole host of other complicating factors to have to deal with. And, we certainly don’t want to force things now (Mars semisquare Pluto) as that strategy is also more likely to backfire.

Thankfully, though, Luna is still in ‘bite-size’ Virgo, which should really help us to bring everything down to a fairly manageable scale. By concentrating on such things as quality control and maybe eliminating excesses or redundancies, it’s entirely possible that we could end the day with more than a few feathers in our cap (Moon trining the notorious ‘Saturn-Pluto conjunction’).

The purifying Virgo Moon is also always a positive time to pay attention to health and dietary matters, with an eye to correcting or re-balancing what’s amiss in the body or awry with our daily practices or habits.

*All times EST.

Tarot Card For The Day: The Two of Pentacles, which suggests a “juggling-act” feel to the day.

Numerology: With it being the “14th” day of the month (which reduces down to a 5), suggesting there’s also potentially more of a natural restlessness to the energy now. At the same time, this is probably a good day to learn how to ‘bend with the wind.’ Too, when we consider that we are in the middle of January already, a “one” month, it’s entirely understandable that we may now be feeling a little bit antsy about things, wondering if we’re really ever going to be able to “pull everything off,” in the future.

Born On This Day: Andy Rooney, in 1919 (d. in 2011), an American radio and TV writer best known for his weekly broadcast “A Few Minutes With Andy Rooney” on the television program 60 Minutes. Rooney once said: The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.

Hope it’s a good one!

Astrology January 5, 2020: The Stabilizing Moon in Taurus

Cosmic Weather:

“The best kind of happiness is a habit you’re passionate about.” Shannon Adler

This is an excellent day for engaging in or building upon those reliable daily practices, habits, or rituals that are positively sustaining for us or help us to feel grounded or rooted like a solid old oak tree. (Moon in Taurus trines Jupiter, Mercury, and the Sun in Capricorn and sextiles Neptune in Pisces.) 

There’s also a potential for assuaging wounds or generating healing by seeking out fresh pathways that lead to greater understanding, particularly on a philosophical level. (Mars in Sagittarius trine Chiron in Aries.)

Tarot Card For The Day: The Knight of Pentacles suggests a “reigning-in” or “conserving” of our energy and resources today, even though the sheer presence of the Knight also indicates that we do, indeed, have the ability to hold our own or defend our interests if need be.

Numerologically: January fifth is a “5” day denoting flexibility and or resiliency.

Born On This Day: Indian spiritual teacher and writer Paramahansa Yogananda. He once wrote: Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.

Hope it’s a good one!

Astrology December 26, 2019: Solar Eclipse in Capricorn

26 Thursday Dec 2019

Cosmic Weather:

Today’s Solar Eclipse in “mature, parental” Capricorn, at 4 degrees of the sign (12:13 am), potentially provides us with a realistic snapshot or assessment of our wondrous, enviable lives as well as hopefully supplying us with some practical, hands-on Saturnian wisdom on how to best nudge ourselves forward, in 2020, so we can make it to the top of that glorious, ever-beckoning mountaintop. Capricorn is a very outwardly ambitious sign keenly interested in leaving its industrious mark upon the world.

This is an excellent lunation period for our annual goal-setting, taking inventory of our strengths and weaknesses, eyeing our responsibilities or duties, evaluating and or restructuring our commitments, including deciding what it is that we may need to phase out now in order to forge ahead in the exciting new decade that is, already, less than a week away.

What’s also great about today’s Solar Eclipse (which basically acts as an “amped-up” New Moon) is that it’s conjunct propitious Jupiter, the planet of growth and opportunity. It’s also forming a flowing trine to non-conforming Uranus RX, which symbolizes innovation and change, and is deposited in materially-minded Taurus. These two harmonizing aspects will ideally help us to feel more optimistic or enthused about our future (including our careers and finances) and also possibly more willing to make any necessary creative alterations so that we can re-structure our playing field in such a way that our individuality and authenticity shine through in a manner that feels very liberating to us. If we’ve been feeling stifled or stuck, this lunation will hopefully help us to turn a new, progressive corner. New Moons are linked, as well, with embarking upon new beginnings.

This is also a perfect period for instituting positive daily practices or habits that can, over the long-term, allow us to become more self-actualized, or more complete versions of our best selves. With the more serious “nose to the grindstone” Capricorn energy, we’re naturally focused now on doing the requisite inner and outer work that’s needed in achieving self-mastery, which is really, of course, part of a lifelong process that we gradually attain in stages, although since eclipses can sometimes “speed things up,” it’s very possible that we’re also able to make a giant leap forward now, at least in terms of expanding our consciousness, where it basically all begins, anyway.

“Let him who would move the world first move himself.” Socrates

Generally, eclipses and eclipse points are also felt or remain charged for up to six months. Since July of 2018, we’ve been experiencing eclipses along the Cancer-Capricorn axis, with a Lunar Eclipse in familial Cancer, slated for January 10th, which is two days before the exact conjunction of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn.

Some questions that we may also want to ask ourselves now with this Solar Eclipse in Capricorn: How might I be able to conserve more of my time, energy, and resources and yet still get ahead? What one thing could I achieve, in the outer world, that would greatly add to my sense of personal fulfillment? How might I view my perceived personal restrictions or limitations as gifts or opportunities? If I could wave a magic wand and eliminate my fears, how would my present life be different?

Numerologically, there’s also a lot of intensity to the day with it being an “8” day (the 26th). Often on “8” days, we’re more inclined to face down our fears, particularly if they’re getting in the way of what we’re wanting to achieve. There can also be more of an inner desire now for wielding our power or influence. I also like that the Solar Eclipse is occurring at “4” degrees of Capricorn, which is a strong, solid foundational number, really helping us to get rooted for “2020,” which is also a “4” year.

*All times EST.

Born On This Day: American writer Henry Miller, in 1891, who once quipped: One’s destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.

Happy Eclipse Blessings to you!

Today’s Astrology for August 30, 2019: A New Moon in Tweaking Virgo

Cosmic Weather:

“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.”  Ernest Hemingway

With a potent New Moon taking place today in “tweaking” Virgo (6:37 am), the sign of health, work, and service, there’s likely a growing momentum occurring now to roll out the “new and improved” versions of things (including ourselves!), in the days ahead. In general, this is always an excellent lunation period for any kind of problem-solving, for practical negotiations, for DIY projects, for decluttering, detoxifying, editing, for implementing new health regimes, adding new habits, for perfecting our skills.

This New Moon also finds a total of five planets (a stellium) in corrective Virgo (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars), which suggests a strong ability to focus or concentrate on the extraneous details (or the infrastructure) of our daily lives to discern how everything is – or isn’t – working. Also, for those of us who seem to have more difficulty focusing on the small stuff, just the sheer act of getting more organized – a Virgo trait – is often a very good way to become more aware of all the pivotal minutiae circulating around.

Both Mars (assertion) and Venus (wants) are also conjunct the Sun and the Moon now, with Mercury (communication) not very far away, so there’s a great deal of single-minded motivation, determination, and energy to actively pursue our desires, or whatever it is that we want to attract (including love and romance). There may also be a heightened ability to work in a very precise, orderly, and methodical manner, and to communicate with others on more of a factual (or reality-based) level.

The Mars conjunction (to the Sun and Moon) can also indicate a potential for displaying real courage or bravery, depending upon the situation, as well as possibly a good amount of competitiveness and wanting to do things our own way. The Mars-Sun energy will also be exact, for the next few days, and in health and research-minded Virgo, there’s a possibility that some notable discoveries or advances will be made (perhaps in healing or medicine). Mars-Sun aspects, particularly the conjunction, have a marked trailblazing quality to them, which can be very invigorating to experience. Perhaps, too, if there’s been something you’ve wanted to try but have been hesitant to do so, for whatever reason, now might be a good time give it a whirl, or to at least take a first baby step, in that direction.

Altogether, too, there are eight planets in the grounding earth signs, which strongly suggests that there’s special finesse or talent now in dealing with the tangible affairs of the world (especially money, security, and career). It’s also an excellent period for strategically planning the use or allocation of our resources.

Sometimes, too, a concentration of planets in “shrinking” Virgo is associated with having more of a myopic vision as far as the bigger picture is concerned. However, today’s lunation also has all of the Virgo planets trining Uranus (the planet of innovation and technology), in pragmatic Taurus, suggesting that there’s a real receptivity or fascination now for whatever’s progressive, cutting-edge, or apart from the norm, thereby making it also potentially easier for us to embrace the idea of change or newness.

“Habits also make change possible by freeing us from decision-making and from using self-control.” Gretchen Rubin (author of “Better Than Before”)

Numerologically, today (8-30-2019) also reduces down to both a 3 (Jupiter) and a 5 (Mercury), so there’s some optimism, desire for sociability, and a feeling of expansion (the 3 side) as well as a good measure of nimbleness and curiosity at play (5).

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein, was born on August 30, 1797, in London, England. (Frankenstein was an instant bestseller on publication in 1818 and has long been regarded as a masterpiece of suspense, a classic of nineteenth-century Romanticism and Gothic horror, and the prototype of the science fiction novel. From Wikipedia)

Astrologically, in the sky that day (and in Shelley’s birth-chart), there was a stellium in “tinkering” Virgo (like today), with adventurous, initiator Mars newly-deposited at 0 degrees of Virgo and in a near-exact opposition to darkhorse Pluto, Lord of the Underworld. (Mars-Pluto energy can also give a fascination with the macabre.) The life-giving Sun was also deposited in analytical Virgo and conjunct inventive, ingenious Uranus (possibly helpful for writing science fiction; Sci-Fi writer, Ray Bradbury, also had a Sun-Uranus opposition aspect in his chart).

“Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful.” Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

Happy New Moon Blessings!

Astrology May 28, 2011: Sun Quinqunx Pluto, Mars Quintile Neptune

COSMIC WATCH:

“Uncertainty and mystery are energies of life. Don’t let them scare you unduly, for they keep boredom at bay and spark creativity.” R.I. Fitzhenry

The Moon continues in active, adventurous Aries compatible for athletic endeavors and for taking initiative. The intellectual Gemini Sun is also forming a quinqunx to probing, intense Pluto in ambitious Capricorn. The complex Sun-Pluto influence gives us more of a desire to go in depth and we may also be more talented at playing detective and solving mysteries.

Too, with Pluto ruling the process of elimination this is an excellent time for purging what is no longer needed, including ridding ourselves of any self-sabotaging habits. Sun-Pluto also equates to a need for power, although we would be wise to make sure that we allow others to have their input as well, instead of completely usurping the show (a Pluto tendency).

Pioneering Mars in practical Taurus is quintile to imaginative Neptune in visualizing Pisces making manifestation of our dreams and desires on this day distinctly possible. This is a very mystical and spiritual aspect that allows for right of passage through rare portals leading to magical realms.

“To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palms of your hand and eternity in an hour.” William Blake

Hope you have a happy and safe Memorial Day weekend! I am going to be taking a short vacation and will be away from here for a few days.
