Cosmic Weather:
Moon vacates familial Cancer to assume a seat on the throne in proud Leo (7:51 am). Accordingly, we may be in need of some elevation and adulation in our own daily lives now.
The authoritative Leo Moon typically likes to be in charge and with a quincunx aspect to “Darth Vader” Pluto in Capricorn (4:21 pm) power struggles could ensue unless there’s a spirit of compromise or cooperation included in the mix.
Activities highlighted today: acting, directing, entertaining, throwing parties, events with children, event-planning, shopping for gold jewelry.

“Loose lips could do more than sink ships today as Luna returns to blabbermouth Gemini and Mercury, Gemini’s ruler, has retrograded back into preachy Sagittarius and is exactly conjunct the powerhouse Sun!
Potentially, we may be more zealous about our beliefs now, and each of us likely has a long-winded sermon on the mount, ready to go, that we can’t wait to deliver today!

WikiLeaks Founder, Julian Assange, has been granted bail today by a British Judge. Assange was arrested a week ago in London after two women accused him of sexual misconduct in two separate incidents in Sweden last summer.
Notable here from an astrological angle: Assange received bail this morning with the Moon at 4 degrees of action-packed Aries (Aries rules law enforcement and police matters). The Moon was also in an exact square to “news breaker” Mercury and “transforming” Pluto, both stationed at 4 degrees of Capricorn, and both part of the ongoing high-drama, “triple conjunction” in Capricorn, also involving “warrior” Mars. The “square” aspect today served to force the matter of his bail, as squares force issues.
“Moon-Pluto” aspects tend to coincide with more emotionally-intense events, and often these events can impact the collective because Pluto rules the masses. Also, Pluto symbolically represents the elimination or purge process, it often brings a “release” or an “alteration” to matters. Pluto, though, can be very controlling and dictatorial, and today’s bail for Assange has several conditions attached to it.
Pluto also represents spying, secret information, and covert activities (WikiLeaks), and is additionally implicated in sex acts using force. The Moon-Pluto exact square aspect had the affect of bringing these issues temporarily to the forefront. It should also be noted here that Assange vehemently denies the sexual misconduct allegations of the two Swedish women.
Assange voluntarily turned himself in to British authorities last week when the Moon was in Capricorn at 5 degrees and tightly conjunct Mercury, Mars, and Pluto (the triple conjunction). Assange will face another court hearing on January 11.

Below is a post that I wrote in March 2010 about John Lennon and Yoko Ono‘s wedding horoscope. (They married March 20, 1969). In wake of the 30th anniversary of his death today, I thought I would re-run it. Missing you, John.
“When people get cynical about love, they should look at us [Yoko and John Lennon] and see it is possible.”Yoko Ono.
March 20, 1969 marks the 41st wedding anniversary of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. The colorful pair married in front of the Rock of Gibraltar in a ceremony that lasted only ten minutes. Shortly afterwards, the newlyweds flew to Amsterdam, Holland where they set up quarters in the Presidential Suite at the Hilton. There, for one week, they had the first of two “bed-ins for peace.”
At the hotel, they had a receiving line for the press, gave interviews, answered questions. Not your typical honeymoon fare activities, but then again, John (Libra) and Yoko (Aquarian) were never your “typical couple.”
In their astrological wedding chart that day (time unknown), insatiable Jupiter was exactly conjoined non-conforming Uranus in Libra. Libra is the zodiacal sign of marriage. This potent influence suggested that their partnership would always tend to be “out of the ordinary.” Having these two planets prominent, there would characteristically be a large appetite (Jupiter) and enthusiasm for doing things differently, wanting to rebelliously break with tradition (Uranus), within the confines of their marriage (Libra).
The Sun was also opposite (stressful) Jupiter and Uranus in their horoscope, again reiterating a need for freedom and a tendency to excessive behaviors. The Sun-Uranus influence also, unfortunately, hinted at the chance for a sudden end to the marriage, as the nature of Uranus is often disruptive. The Sun also governs the husband in a wedding chart.
Mercury (communication) was in idealistic, imaginative Pisces. That tended to intellectually attune them more to the humanistic issues of the collective. The Neptune-ruled Pisces mindset, at its highest expression, is intrinsically about dissolving all boundaries, demonstrating selfless love and compassion for each other, peacefully co-existing. It endlessly envisions the world “as one,” just like John perpetually sang about.
Also in their marriage chart, the Sun (purpose) was exactly trine (harmonious) Neptune, again reinforcing that same hopeful theme. The Sun-Neptune tie also gave the union more of a mystical, otherworldy quality to it. Neptune denotes our link to the Divine.
Too, in wake of John’s tragic, sudden departure from the world, Yoko’s marriage to John has maybe, understandably, ended up becoming something “larger than life” for her, something that she has perhaps idealized and placed atop a pedestal. Characteristically with Neptune, we tend to worship and glorify our partners. And, of course, in Yoko’s case, she has had to live a life largely minus John’s physical presence. She maybe has cultivated a rich “spiritual union” with him which would be consistent with the “illusory” Sun Neptune energy. Neptune rules illusion and imagination, as well as the ethereal realms.
Idealistic Mercury in Pisces was also square (inner tension) to opinionated Mars (the warrior) in Sagittarius in the chart. Mars shows our enthusiasms and passions. It also represents our aggressive urge. When it is in philosophical Sagittarius, we can become almost fanatical in our beliefs and often feel a deep need to proselytize others to bring them aboard our same wavelength. We can also be very controversial and blunt in our comments, as Mercury governs our speech and Mars in Sagittarius acts very spontaneously.
Additionally, in their wedding chart, Venus, the planet of love and marriage, was in fiery, adventurous Aries conjoined with dutiful Saturn. Venus-Saturn ties often indicate “karmic relationships” in which we feel a deep sense of responsibility, obligation, and loyalty to each other. Saturn is regarded as the “Lord of Karma” in astrology. This is because he often brings us those more difficult lessons in life that we need to learn and experience in order to evolve and achieve our higher purposes. During the course of their marriage, too, John and Yoko had plenty of Saturnian ups and downs, trials and tribulations, and even an 18-month separation. Too, in the beginning, their very union alienated them from the public and many Beatles’ fans. But despite everything, it managed to endure.
On another level, the Venus placement in the sign of Aries showed, too, that the couple would tend to enjoy “active pursuits” and “pioneering endeavors” that would garner attention to themselves. Venus not only rules love relationships, it also rules what we love to do. Aries as a sign focuses much of its attention on its own self-identity and self-discovery.
Actually, Venus in Aries can contain elements of narcissism to it – making us a little too much enthralled with our own self-image. Of course, when John and Yoko were together, they were both young and still discovering themselves, both individually and as a couple. And, they were both very famous, so they wanted to naturally capitalize on their fame and use it as a springboard to further their more noble, impersonal causes for the collective.

There’s a New Moon in freedom-loving Sagittarius occurring on December 5, 2010 (12:37 pm). Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius is associated with roaming and exploring, communing in the great outdoors, long-distance travel, foreign cultures, philosophy, and religion. Areas and activities that are often mainstay components of “stretching” or “growing” ourselves beyond our customary borders.
Sagittarius energy is characteristically upbeat and positive. So, this New Moon in Sadge – with new Moons signifying “new beginnings,” may seem like a breath of fresh air for us.
This could very well be a time when our aspirations, and hopes and dreams, all get ramped up a few notches because we’re feeling more optimistic and enthused.
Also, our prospects for success with our dreams, are potentially brighter, because the New Moon forms a harmonious sextile to achievement Saturn in relationship-ruling Libra. An aspect which also may bode well for ushering in a more stabilizing romantic situation for some of us over the next two weeks (could even be with someone from our past, or someone older).
Saturn’s “positive vibe” has a knack for helping us rope in our wishes and fantasies and making them take shape by instilling within us an attitude of commitment, determination, and dedication to hard work. Saturn rules worldly success and status and combined with the “can-do spirit” of Sagittarius, we are primed to “go for the gold.”
Also, this New Moon in Sag forms a quintile to spiritual Neptune, making this a positive time for meditation and more mystical pursuits.
New Moon in Sagittarius activities: Athletics (including horse riding, polo, archery); travel, especially to foreign lands; developing cross-cultural relationships; learning new languages; studying philosophy, religion; creating goal-oriented vision boards; writing; publishing; teaching; preaching; enrolling in new classes; professional speaking; speech-writing; involvement in politics; advertising and self-promotion; developing sales and marketing strategies.

Fanatics in power and the funnel of a tornado have this in common – the narrow path in which they move is marked by violence and destruction.” – Oscar Otlund
Mars in Sagittarius square Jupiter in Pisces is exact on Monday, November 29th, 2010 (9:51 am), although this very potent influence is already applying and will be felt even for a few days after it is exact.
At its noblest, Mars square Jupiter can galvanize us to take “heroic action.” Mars, the planet of energy and adventure, can signify “acts of courage” and “bravery.” Aligned with expansive Jupiter, which symbolizes our “higher beliefs” and “philosophy of life,” we are more willing to “crusade” or “go to bat” for whatever it is that we believe in. We may believe we are on a quest for the truth.
President Abraham Lincoln, for example, delivered the Gettysburg Address, one of the most inspiring speeches in American history, with Mars and Jupiter exactly conjunct in the heavens. Jupiter also rules political statesmen and public speaking.
We also seem to have more physical energy at our disposal with this aspect, as expander Jupiter “enlarges” whatever it touches, and linked with energizer Mars, the energy in the body mounts proportionately.
Mars-Jupiter is also associated with sports and athletics and potentially gives us a greater desire to want to excel/break records as our competitive spirit tends to be very high with this energy.
A common pitfall to this Mars-Jupiter energy is that we can go overboard or overexert ourselves physically.
Mars placement in “forward-thinking” Sagittarius likely focuses our attention on the future. It is deemed to be visionary. We are potentially now thinking more about the long-term effects of our actions and how we can leave our imprint on the collective.
Of course, this Mars in Sadge desire to tangibly shape the future is magnified that much more now with Mars’ alignment with expansive Jupiter, the natural ruler of Sagittarius. Jupiter, too, is tucked away in dreamy, idealistic Pisces.
Jupiter, too, although generally regarded as a benefic planet with seemingly positive impact for our lives, on the shadow side, it can make us a little too full of ourselves, moralistic. Merged with high-octane Mars, we can more easily take issue with others’ beliefs or principles, feeling that we are justified in doing so, because we are only following “higher directives.”

With intellectual Mercury square to inventive Uranus today we may receive sudden, brilliant, intuitive insights into things, and be able to solve problems, puzzles more quickly. On the shadow side, we may feel more mentally restless.
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 as they could be trying to tell us something.
Since Neptune also symbolically represents our link with the divine this is a perhaps good time to go inward.

The world’s longest suspension bridge opens, “Verrazano Narrows,” in New York City. Expansive Jupiter, the planet that “over-sizes” whatever it touches, was opposite “Sea Faring” Neptune in the sky. Neptune rules bridges.

The William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum open to the public in Little Rock Arkansas, with over two million photographs and 80 million documents. Communicator Mercury, ruling words and reading, is conjunct transforming Pluto in literary-minded Sagittarius, the sign of books and publishing.
Mercury-Pluto is often a time when our mental perceptions are transmuted in wake of new information, new perceptions. What has been secret or kept private may now come into full view.
The ruler of Sagittarius, expansive Jupiter, in diplomatic Libra, was also exactly trine to imaginative Neptune in Aquarius; Jupiter is also associated with politics and political statesmen. With Jupiter trine Neptune, there is also more of a predilection and mindset to idealize or put a positive spin on things.
Additionally, the Sun, signifying world leaders, was in empowering Scorpio (Pluto-ruled sign) and forming an exact trine to achievement-minded Saturn, favorable for detailing career accomplishments/spotlighting one’s legacy.
“The story that began in a little house on Hervey Street in Hope, Arkansas, inspires people from every background all over America,” President George W. Bush, at the opening ceremony for the Clinton library.

John Lennon and Yoko Ono appear nude on the cover of the “Two Virgins” album. Adventurous Mars – ruling the assertive urge – is exactly conjunct rebel Uranus in marital Libra, also the sign of the public. Venus-ruled Libra is also associated with artistic expression.
With Mars conjoined Uranus there is thought to be more of a tendency for us to want to break the rules, with Uranus symbolizing freedom of expression. Mars also governs our sexuality, and paired with non-traditional, freedom-loving Uranus, there is potentially an increased proclivity to want to innovate or experiment here.
The emotional Moon that day was also in theatrical, “Drama Queen” Leo, the sign of entertainment.
