Cosmic Word Of The Day: Fame

Definition: 1) widespread reputation, esp. of a favorable character; renown; public eminence

Origin: 1175-1225; < L fama, talk, public opinion, repute

COSMIC WEATHER:

We’re craving our fifteen minutes of fame.

This is because Mental Mercury leaves Homebody Cancer for Rock Star Leo today (12:30 pm EDT), a sign that is profusely addicted to being on stage and hogging the spotlight.

Also, since Mercury in Leo is harmoniously trining Innovative Uranus in Get Discovered Aries – a very powerful creative alignment that is also synonymous with sudden fame and notoriety – we’re considering taking the plunge and auditioning for none other than the likes of Simon Cowell himself, the Universe’s guaranteed pathway to instant fame and riches for wannabee stars.

Simon reigns supreme in this area partly because in his personal horoscope, he has his musical, lovable Venus and controlling, penetrating Pluto, together in the picky, “masterfully analytical” sign of Virgo the Virgin, providing him with profound,  instant ability to size up singing talent, while simultaneously calling into question some of his more private, bedside predilections.

We’re also not going the traditional audition route with Simon – standing in line for hours. What we’re going to do instead is audition for him by way of “telepathy,” since Uranus rules intuition and telepathy.

Another thing we believe working in our favor today: Talented, Voice-Ruler Venus is at the tail end of Performance Leo, separating from an exact opposition to Disillusioning, Undermining Neptune in Brotherly Aquarius. This planetary aspect is perfect here because it endows us with a very deep need and overwhelming desire and capacity for vast amounts of humiliation and embarrassment before the collective.

That’s exactly the sort of gig we’re seeking today, Tom. Can you help us out?

Enjoy your Friday!

Hope you make it through to Hollywood.
