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!

Today’s Astrology February 19, 2019: Full Moon in Virgo

Cosmic Weather:

“When your imagination’s at work, your dreams make sense.” Anthony T. Hincks

Have you ever struggled to put something together, manually? Let’s say maybe a paperclip. And, you all have these supposed “easy-to-assemble” instructions, right before you, but you still can’t figure out how to assemble the darn thing? Well, in a left-handed way, I guess that’s sort of how I feel about today’s Full Moon in instructional and corrective Virgo. As I was meditating on the meaning of this lunation this morning, in preparation for this blog, all of a sudden, I got inundated with an avalanche of assorted details. Including receiving a hallucinatory vision (Mercury conjunct Neptune in Pisces) of a 32-page colored report, with perfect margins, of everything that is wrong in my present-day life! It’s like, how in the heck do I even begin to right the ship? 🙂

Virgo the Virgin, as you probably know, is number six in the zodiac lineup. Or, is midway through it, in other words. Kind of tucked away in obscurity. (Where it frickin’ belongs!) Of course, usually when you get to the middle of anything is often when the plot thickens or twists, including when some things may begin to break down. Even in the body, Virgo governs the intestines, which are located in the middle region of the body, and also where food particles are broken down for digestion. Too, if your diet is not that good and you’re eating a lot of the wrong things, such as maybe stuffing your face with pimento cheese sandwiches and washing it all down with a gallon of Irish whiskey for breakfast, your stomach and intestines will probably let you know, pretty fast, that you’re screwing up. And you’ll, no doubt, be receiving several lashes for penance while having to listen to Virgoan recorded messages prompting you to eat your dang vegetables instead. Including yucky broccoli!

Moving right along.

Trying to keep everything very simple and orderly for you here, today. Because we do have, again, intellectual Mercury, the Virgo Full Moon’s official ruler, exactly conjunct psychedelic, mushroom-eating Neptune now. Folks, there’s no wait out of this one, unfortunately. I’m sorry.

Waiting any moment to be taken away by space aliens in little white coats…

Yes, with an illuminating Full Moon in troubleshooting Virgo, at this moment in time, we’re essentially checking under the hood. Seeing how everything is working. Or not working. Maybe we need a smidgeon of antifreeze under our arms. Or on our hips. Or our lips, perhaps, need to be pumped up or inflated with a pound or two of more air to better resemble Kim Kardashian’s. Just typical body maintenance stuff.

But, wait! There’s more! That was just for starters! 🙂

Then there’s the whole other matter of the cleanaholic Virgo Full Moon likely wanting to invade our home space today! Holding us hostage, no doubt, with an industrial-sized vacuum cord, tied around our neck, and a Swiffer Sweeper thrusted under our arm so we can gather up all the dirt, and other crap, that’s been accumulating, exponentially, since who knows when. The fact is, too, we haven’t really been able to see any of this gook, all that well, until this god-awful Virgo Full Moon shows up! Plus, it’s a darn SuperMoon to boot! Making its impact that much worse!  Now, the darn dustballs are glaring at us! The cobwebs are staging a Uranian-type revolt! And, the dirty laundry in the clothes hamper is starting to come to life, twisting and shouting, and foaming at the mouth. Kinda like Linda Blair in the Exorcist!

Well, maybe it’s not quite that bad.

But, then there’s the matter of…

And then…

Oh, no!

Please, please! Can’t somebody pull down the frickin’ shade!

I can’t take it anymore!

I swear, I’ll eat my vegetables! 🙂

Enjoy your day! Full Moon Blessings to you!

Astrology March 5, 2015: A Full Moon in “Purifying” Virgo

05 Thursday Mar 2015

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

COSMIC WATCH:

A Full Moon in “purifying” Virgo, today (1:05 pm), the sign of health and work, paves the way for self-improvement projects, makeovers, general healing, dietary changes, detox efforts, de-cluttering, recycling, becoming better organized, tidying things up. Also, some things that perhaps managed to elude our awareness before, are now getting ready to come into full view of our consciousness.

Too, the impact of what is about to be revealed, could be something that’s very powerful for us, in a galvanizing way, especially since we have so many other potent, illuminating aspects occurring at this same time – aspects that sort of all piggy back on each other, including the “opportunity-laden” Jupiter Uranus trine, and the seventh and last installment of the “game-changing” Uranus and Pluto square, which I’ll be discussing more about, in an upcoming blog.

The “keeping it real” Virgo Full Moon is also excellent for providing us with an accurate, no-nonsense assessment of what’s really going on around us – a nice complement to the more “idealistic, otherworldly” Sun in Pisces influence, which can sometimes find us getting too caught up, or lost, in our pipe dreams or fantasies.

The Virgo Moon also symbolizing “the voice of reason”, while the Pisces Sun represents, “the voice of our intuition,” which some also view as the “voice of Spirit” operating within us. With this lunation, we’re seeking to balance and integrate both of these voices.

This Full Moon’s trine to “transforming” Pluto also directs us to confidently step into our own power, while simultaneously serving to ignite our heart’s passions. Too, with our passions on the rise, there’s also possibly more of a feeling now that we’re truly on the way to fulfilling our life’s purpose, or special destiny, especially since passion is something that is often equated with leading us to our soul’s, or higher self’s, true calling. Included in all of this here, too, is the possibility of a very deep, if not sacred sense now, of our own renewal, especially on an emotional level; coupled with this may also be a very strong desire to focus firmly on the tasks ahead.

There may also be an increased willingness to release, with greater ease and serenity now, those things that are no longer serving us on our journey. Sometimes, too, just letting go of an attitude can be the thing that begins to turn our life around, in a major way.

Writer Caroline Myss also suggests that we eliminate five words from our vocabulary, when we’re ready to move on: blame, deserve, guilt, fair, and fault. She says that this is because these five words “often make it easier for us to fall into negative emotional patterns.”

“I realize there’s something incredibly honest about trees in winter, how they’re experts at letting things go.” Jeffrey McDaniel

This Full Moon may also put more of a spotlight on the following areas: joint financial matters, investments, taxes, insurance, wills and estates, research or investigation. This energy also favors archeological digs, therapy, deep tissue massage, adopting a new fitness regime, implementing more quality control measures at work, making repairs, improving or perfecting a craft, revising job search strategies, updating resumes, meeting with employment counselors.

*All times are EST.

Astrology November 11, 2011: Moon Squares Fuzzy Neptune

11 Friday Nov 2011

COSMIC WATCH:

In wake of the potent Full Moon yesterday, there still may be more of an emotional tenor to this day. This morning, the Moon in plodding, materially-minded Taurus, also squares off with fuzzy, elusive Neptune (11:28 am EST), so we may want to tread lightly, especially in financial matters. It is always a good idea, too, whenever we are dealing with Neptune’s nebulous ray, to simply stick with the facts, and to mute or dispel any pipe dreams and or irrational fears.

The Moon’s shift into breezy, disseminating Gemini (3:11 pm EST) provides us with more flexibility, as well as burgeoning intellectual curiosity over the next couple of days. The Moon’s square to restless Mars (3:53 pm EST), newly deposited in correcting, health-ruling Virgo, also suggests we may need to be more mindful and considerate of our physical energies and to not overtax our systems. Taking slow, deep, conscious breaths, and pausing for reflection, if only for a few moments, will likely hold some regenerative perks for us now, as well as offering us more options or alternatives for our behavior. Often with Moon-Mars, we react instinctively to things, without thinking, and thereby limit our range of choices. The pausing or disengaging, though, helps to widen our perspective because it, for one thing, affords us the chance to mull over or review issues. Also, the act of pausing opens the door for us to reconnect with our sacred intuition, a vehicle of expression from our higher self.

“To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.” Buddha

Enjoy your Friday! Would also like to salute and recognize all the veterans today.

Astrology November 10, 2011: Full Moon in Taurus

COSMIC WATCH:

A Full Moon in slow-moving, earthy Taurus today, at 18 degrees (3:17 pm EST), puts a focus on finding contentment and enjoyment in the simpler pleasures of life. It also places a spotlight on our values, and may be able to provide us with added insight, clarity and feedback on how we are managing our resources. Too, what we attract to us is often a reflection of what we value. Maybe If we are unhappy or unfulfilled with the elements surrounding us at this Full Moon, it could be that we need to go inside ourselves and take a closer look at where we have been putting our focus lately. Perhaps we have been putting our attention in the wrong areas, investing our time and energy in the wrong things, and we need to make some adjustments now.  Full Moons can trigger crisis situations and turning points in consciousness. Too, it could be that pivotal events happening in the collective now may also have the net affect of helping to alter or reshape our values or belief systems.

Energy planet Mars, governing self-assertion, is also shifting from flashy, entertaining Leo into organizing, analytical Virgo today (11:15 pm EST), the sign of work and health, where it will stay until next July. With Mars in Virgo, there is an emphasis on honing or perfecting our skills or craft. It is also an excellent period for instituting positive health changes. For instance, we may be more driven and fired up to adhere to diets now. Or an exercise program. In the body, Virgo rules the intestines and the process of digestion. The intestines break down food particles so that they may be better assimilated. Symbolically, Mars in Virgo also energizes us to carefully digest our life experiences so that we may take away from them practical, useful substance or content. Virgo is a highly resourceful sign that helps to make us very self-sufficient. It is also a sign that takes pleasure in being of service or utility to others.

Astrology June 8, 2011: “Take A Picture” Jupiter Sextile Neptune

COSMIC WATCH:

“We are not human beings in search of a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” Teilhard de Chardin

There’s an abundance of mystical energy circulating around us today with expansive Jupiter’s opportunity sextile to spiritual Neptune, the planet that symbolizes our link to the divine. It’s a perfect day for meditation and prayer. Jupiter-Neptune can also inspire us to perform selfless acts of kindness and charity. Jupiter’s placement in practical Taurus also bodes well for turning our sweet dreams (Neptune governs our imagination) into delightful reality (Taurus). This magical Jupiter-Neptune influence will be lingering around for the next few days.

The presence of the Moon in health-conscious Virgo and Neptune’s placement in oceanic Pisces is also favorable now for all forms of water therapy as a way to rejuvenate our bodies and gently soothe our souls. Too, Neptune rules photography and visual images, so we may want to get out our cameras and create some new Kodak moments. Or perhaps thumb through old photo albums as a sentimental journey into our sacred Neptunian past.
