“There are two kinds of sparks, the one that goes off with a hitch like a match, but it burns quickly. The other is the kind that needs time, but when that flame strikes… it’s eternal, don’t forget that.” Timothy Oliveira
Affectionate Venus in adaptable Gemini forms an anchoring trine to protective Saturn in partnership Libra, helping to firm up and solidify our romantic and business relationships. We are able to deal more maturely and responsibly with respect to our relationship matters now, and also are more receptive to the idea of long-term commitment. This is also an excellent day to establish healthy relationship boundaries.
The Moon also shifts from conservative Capricorn to futuristic Aquarius (7:47 am EDT) putting us in more of an inquisitive state of mind. Intellectual Mercury in impressionable Cancer is also forming an exact square to change-agent Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius, deposited in pioneering Aries. We may find that new information is coming at us fast and furious now and we may need some extra time to digest everything. Too, Mercury-Uranus can make our nerves a little more jittery as Uranus has more of a high-strung quality to it and Mercury rules the nervous system. With that said, we are also potentially more capable of flashes of brilliance and originality today as Uranus govern both genius and intuition.
Do you think you are intuitive? How about brilliant? Had any bright ideas this past week?
“If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull.”W.C. Fields 🙂
In The News: On the eve of Mercury exactly square Uranus today, United Airlines reportedly grounded all inbound and outbound flights on Friday night for a while due to a computer problem. United airlines passengers were said to have been stranded at airports for at least five hours. Unfortunately, on the shadow side, Mercury-Uranus has a legacy of disrupting (Uranus) communications (Mercury). Uranus also governs both the aviation industry and computers. Mercury rules travel.
Enjoy your Saturday! Hope you have some “aha” moments, but no flight delays or computer glitches. 🙂

There’s a Full Moon/Total Lunar Eclipse in “visionary” Sagittarius today (4:14 pm EDT), the sign of the hopeful archer. Sagittarius governs our beliefs and personal philosophy of life and also rules long-distance travel, the law, clergy, and higher education. This eclipse is occurring at 24 degrees of Sagittarius, smack near the Galactic Center. A Full Moon Eclipse is a time of potent release when we empty out our stale contents. It is also a time for wondrous reflection and illumination.
Eclipses often speed up events and can usher in fateful changes that permanently alter the landscape around us. Their influence is said to last up to six months. Whatever house this eclipse is falling in today, in our charts, is where we are presently engaged in a search for more meaning and where we may be needing to tweak, dismantle, or defend some of our beliefs.
“With bow and arrow carefully in tow, we aim to hunt for the higher meaning that we know is purposefully nestled within.
Our gaze is ardently fixed upon the starry firmament above, meticulously scanning for any directional clues that we pray will point the way to our very own, internal cluster of brightly lit constellations, that we sense are all merrily a twinkle now, as they expectantly and eagerly await our joyous arrival on this magical eclipse day.
Yes, we’re going home again. The mother-father, Galactic Center has kindly put down the welcome mat and thoughtfully turned on its brightest lights for us to clearly see our way back to the truth. The whole truth. Nothing but the truth. So help us God. We may even stop and rest a spell in Luckenbach, Texas, with Willie Nelson, to put 74 candles on the late Waylon Jennings’ birthday cake.” 🙂

The Moon is in adventurous Sagittarius today. We are seriously toying with the idea of courageously venturing outside of our cozy backyards to explore the glorious world around us. Although, we may want to secretly abscond solo – as love goddess Venus in flirty Gemini is taking heat from manipulative Pluto in repressed Capricorn (quincunx aspect) – which might make our delicate relationships even more complex and twisted than normal.
Too, we have bold, assertive Mars in Taurus suppressed by drill sergeant Saturn in Libra (sesquiquadrate aspect). Saturn is also threatening to withhold our $200 in Monopoly money and will not let us “pass go,” if we (inevitably) break any rules today.
Yes, it may be best to sneak out alone, when the path is clear and no one else is around.
“Scotty, if you’re out there, you can beam us up anytime! The sooner, the better. Too, if you could also kindly beam down some Jim Beam. That thoughtful gesture may go far to assuage some of the massive, psychological torture of this pre-eclipse day.” 🙂

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”Albert Einstein
With the Moon encapsuled in “probing” Scorpio, we go swimming in deeper waters today, carrying with us the firm conviction that sunken treasures inevitably await us, if only we are earnest enough to ferret them out. The Scorpio Moon passionately revels in sharing her most intimate secrets with us as a seductive pathway to our rejuvenation. When the Moon is in Scorpio, we are systemically freed by embracing the truth, wherever we may find it. It is also a good day to challenge ourselves to live by our own truth, which is not always something that is easy to do, but it is something that can be very rewarding and ultimately pave the way to our greatest fulfillment.
“All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered, the point is to discover them.” Galileo Galilei
Later tonight, the Moon shifts into “faraway eyes” Sagittarius (10:39 pm EDT), setting the stage for Wednesday’s spectacular “Total Lunar Eclipse.”

“The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.” Oliver Wendell Holmes
Hopefully, too, we will be able to move in a forward direction with our lives again, with Saturn finally stationing direct in relationship Libra today. Saturn denotes our goals and corresponding ability to put down solid foundation for ourselves. Saturn has been retrograde since late January.
Too, wherever Saturn has been retrograding in our personal horoscopes (the house position), is the area of life where we should have been reviewing or retooling things, these past few months. Now we are, hopefully, ready to journey on, with greater wisdom.
We also have love goddess Venus in curious Gemini sextiling liberating Uranus today, with Uranus deposited in thrill-seeking Aries. This is a fun aspect in which we tend to seek out more excitement in our lives. It tends to make us a little wild, both socially and romantically. We are more willing to break out of our cookie-cutter molds and try new things. We also are less afraid to defy convention in our noble quest to express ourselves more freely (Uranus).
Additionally, we have the Moon in intense Scorpio today which serves to strengthen our resolve and determination, and ignite our lusty passions, naturally readying us for encounters of the intimate kind. Too, the Scorpio Moon makes us more comfortable dealing with the complexities of life. The Moon here also gives us a perfect chance to play detective, as Scorpio energy is always good for investigation.

“Creating fantasy is a very personal thing, but you can’t take the process too seriously.”Joseph Barbera
Sweetheart Venus in lighthearted Gemini encounters veiled, deceptive Neptune in the murky waters of Pisces. That means things could be a little “fishy” for us today as we try to navigate our way through the relationship stream. With Venus-Neptune, we often see things in others, magical traits or properties, that are not really there. We are also more willing to mask any flaws that others may have now, which is something that could come back to haunt us, if we’re not careful.
Fortunately for us today, though, we also have the Moon in relationship Libra conjunct “reality guru” Saturn (12:01 pm EDT). This insightful aspect should help us to cut through Neptune’s “purple haze” to arrive at a “clearer perspective.” Sobering Saturn never shies away from “telling it like it is,” and he has characteristically very little tolerance for Neptune’s desire for immersion in psychedelic fairy tales. 🙂

“Love is the magician that pulls man out of his own hat.”Ben Hecht
The planet Venus, ruler of love and money, shifts into playful Gemini today (10:24 am EDT) vacating possessive Taurus. This may facilitate more movement and flexibility in our relationships and perhaps inspire more ingenuity with respect to our money-making ability. Venus in Gemini is more intellectual than emotional in its approach, and with its placement here, in the communication sign, there can be a real love of words and a deep affection for conversation and writing. Venus in Gemini also requires that we have a strong mental bond with someone before we give our tender heart away. There is also more of a tendency to flirt or tease with this placement. Venus will stay in Gemini until July 4th which may be a romantic boon for natives of this sign.
Too, wherever Venus is transiting by house (area of life) in our personal horoscopes now is where we may see an easing of conditions and opportunity for forming positive new relationships, especially once Saturn goes direct in partnership Libra on June 12th. Venus rules our “power of attraction.” (BTW, yours truly has her lovable Venus in Gemini. I consider it to be one of my saving graces.)
Of course, very rarely is anything in the cosmos ever simple to figure out. The very same day that we have love maven Venus entering breezy Gemini, we also have assertive Mars in stubborn Taurus forming a more challenging 135-degree link (sesquiquadrate) to controlling Pluto in career Capricorn. Always with Mars-Pluto under stress, there is a risk that the hidden despot in us may try to surface (this is an aspect linked to regime changes). Accordingly, we may want to monitor ourselves more closely and be willing to rein ourselves in, at a moment’s notice, when we see that our proposals and plans for the future etc., are not going over too well and enemy troops are circling all around us. 🙂
Too, there is also the chance that we can encounter this type of controlling, forceful, or inflexible behavior through others now (maybe the boss with Pluto in authoritative Capricorn). The Moon, too, is in workaholic Virgo today (until 6:32 pm EDT).
Mars-Pluto can additionally force us to deal with broken situations in need of immediate repair. Pluto denotes destruction or decay followed by hopeful rebirth or transformation. A good day perhaps for recycling and purging. We may also want to be more vigilant with money and possession matters, and try to minimize our risk or exposure there, as Mars in dollar sign Taurus linked with Pluto potentially has financial implications.Too, we do not want to be manipulative (Pluto) now with our resources, as that could backfire on us.
The Moon enters diplomatic Libra this evening (6:32 pm EDT) and also trines lady Venus herself (7:17 pm EDT), the ruler of Libra, which may help to negate or subdue any of the coarser, testosterone-laden Mars-Pluto energy still permeating the ether. Libra, the sign of “the other,” tends to make us more social and cooperative with each other. It is the sign of peace. John Lennon was a Libra. Need I say more?
In the News: With expansive Jupiter in acquisition-minded Taurus exactly sextile to Neptune in Pisces yesterday, Exxon announced that it has made a major oil discovery in the Gulf of Mexico. Neptune rules oil. Chiron also stationed retrograde in Pisces yesterday, the sign that Neptune rules. BTW, the very day Chiron first entered Pisces in the spring of 2010, we had the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

“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.

“Flawed judgment can serve as a bridge to sound decision-making when we wisely learn from our missteps.” Patrice Thompson
The day kicks off with the Moon still deposited in drama queen Leo then shifts into worker bee Virgo (3:34 pm EDT) at which time our personal efficiency level gets boosted up a notch, as Virgo tends to be very organized and analytical. The Virgo Moon’s lucky trine to generous, optimistic Jupiter in material Taurus (4:43 on EDT) also bodes well for money and possession matters.
We may also find that our ability for clear thinking is potentially enhanced today with intellectual Mercury in Gemini’s trine to astute Saturn in balanced Libra. This is an excellent day for mental concentration, long-term planning, budget discussions, working on detailed reports, matters of commitment, and gaining influential support or backing (Saturn) for our ideas (Mercury).
Anchoring Saturn tends to steady or stabilize our thinking and confers upon us practical know-how based upon our experience. It can also make us much more disciplined (Saturn). Too, we are more apt choose our words (Mercury) more wisely (Saturn). This is a positive time to discuss serious (Saturn) issues, especially related to our goals. Also, this is a good day to seek out professional advice or counseling.
Note: The Moon is void-of-course from 11:28 am EDT until 3:34 pm EDT. During that time span it is best to attend to old matters versus starting anything new.
Famous Birthdays June 7th: Late Dean Martin (94), Prince (53). BTW, Prince has a fascinating horoscope with a very strong “Pluto” tone to it, which may help to explain why he has always been more of a mystery to figure out. (Pluto can be very secretive). Also, it sheds light on his intensity.
Prince has his Pluto in entertainment Leo at 29 degrees exactly conjunct his 10th house of career (the highest point in his chart). He also has a Pluto-ruled Scorpio Ascendant (how the world sees him), and his restless Gemini Sun (power source) is exactly conjunct his 8th house cusp of other people’s resources (also the house of sex), which is the natural house of Pluto.
Pluto conjunct the authoritative 10th house often denotes the potential for a “power complex,” as Pluto governs the urge for power and or control. Pluto also represents the masses, and individuals with Pluto here often rise to positions whereby they can impact a large number of people (10th house is also linked with an individual’s reputation and the world at large).
Pluto also denotes our passions and obsessions and when it is on the professional house there can be an intense pursuit of career matters, sometimes to the exclusion of everything else. The person may also have the feeling that they are “fated” for a certain role. There is also often a desire to transform or radically reshape the world in some way, usually in conjunction with career, as Pluto represents the rebirth factor. Of course, Prince has done just that through his incredible music and unique theatrics (Leo). Prince also has his artistic Venus in sensual Taurus (ruling the voice) aligned with both Uranus (genius) and Neptune (fantasy). Hope Prince has a wonderful birthday. Wonder if he’ll be partying tonight? Like it’s 1999? Do you think? Gotta’ believe that he will. 🙂
