“I can’t understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I’m frightened of the old ones.” John Cage

Cosmic Weather:

The Moon exits contemplative Pisces for pioneering Aries (10:24 am EST). A time when we may want to be starting something new or exciting in our lives. We also have intellectual Mercury in enthusiastic Sagittarius square to non-conforming Uranus, the planet of sudden change. This potent aspect tends to foster the formation of more non-traditional thinking.

Mercury-Uranus can also potentially speed up our thinking. We may want to, however, avoid making snap decisions until our thoughts and ideas have more time to gel.

Additionally, we have Mercury sextile to mystic guru Neptune, with Neptune ruling our link to the divine and also our psychic ability. This aspect may generate more of an intellectual desire to seek out more spiritually-based activities. Perhaps we may want to read more inspirational material, or books on psychic development. Neptune also rules our dreams, so this is an ideal time for paying closer attention to them now, and trying to unravel their magical symbolism.

Neptune additionally governs our imagination and creativity. This influence should considerably help to elevate or boost our creativity, and also help with our powers of visualization. Excellent day for any creative writing project (Mercury rules words), especially with the simultaneous Mercury-Uranus aspect, which can provide us with unique, original insights, along with a good measure of quirky thoughts, which can also sometimes be kind of cool. Neptune also rules imagery, so it’s a fantastic day for painting or photography.

Cosmic Watch:

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 or bored with our daily routine.

Additionally, we have Mercury sextile imaginative Neptune which is thought to bode well for our creative and psychic/intuitive abilities. It may also be a day when it is easier to get lost in our fantasies.

Too, we may also want to pay closer attention to our nocturnal dreams as they could be trying to tell us something we need to hear. Since Neptune also symbolically represents our link with the divine this is perhaps a good time for meditation or reflection.

“All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.” Carl Jung

Saturn Trine Neptune Beatles Begin Recording Sgt Pepper 11/24

This Date In History:

November 24, 1966:

The Beatles begin recording sessions for their masterpiece eighth album: Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band which was later released on June 1, 1967. The group reportedly spent over 400 hours in the recording studio producing this one album. The BBC would later end up banning one of the songs from it, “A Day In The Life” out of reported concern over a supposed drug reference in the song, “I’d love to turn you on…”

On 11/24/66 the Moon was in fiery, pioneering Aries. Also, adding to the level of excitement that day: The illuminating Sun and Creative Venus were affectionately conjunct in storytelling Sagittarius, harmoniously trined to lucky, expansive Jupiter in showman Leo, the sign of entertainment.

Enterprising Mars, the ruler of trailblazing Aries, was in perfectionist Virgo and exactly conjunct “inventive genius” Uranus. Mars and Uranus were additionally in a close conjunction to transforming Pluto in Virgo.

So we had a cool host of intense, game-changing influences for the collective, in effect.

Ambitious Saturn, too, often billed as the “Lord of Karma,” was in Imaginative Pisces, the sign which rules music, and in an exact flowing trine to mystical, psychedelic Neptune (Neptune rules drugs).  Neptune is also the planetary ruler of Pisces. Of course, Sgt. Pepper had a very mystical, psychedelic theme to it. Drug Kingpin Neptune was also hanging out in revamping Scorpio at the time, maybe part of the reason why so many were trying to find “psychic redemption” then through mind-altering drugs.

Too, Neptune rules our dreams and fantasies, and when aligned favorably with “karma rewards king” Saturn, we often see the manifestation of our dreams (creativity) coming true. We are better able to give tangible form and shape (Saturn) to the products of our imagination (Neptune) i.e. through songwriting, poetry, painting, etc.

Traditionalist and status quo preserver Saturn in dreamy Pisces was also opposite the rebellious and personally liberating Mars, Uranus, and Pluto conjunction, delineating the general angst that was going on in the collective then among the new ‘hippie” generation for radical change and the older generation of yesteryear.  This angst was, of course, also artistically woven in a masterful way into the fabric of Sgt Pepper and even evident on the unique cover of the record album which was very original (Uranus), spacey and psychedelic (Neptune), and a likely game-changer (Pluto) for the music industry.

Astrology Mercury Sextile Pluto – Insight for Solving Life’s Riddles

On This Date in History:

On November 12, 1970, scientists perform the first artificial synthesis of a live cell. At the time, Mental Mercury, governing logic and reasoning ability, was in investigative Scorpio at 29 degrees, the sign of DNA, regeneration, and the mysteries of life. Mercury was also exactly sextile to Scorpio’s ruler Pluto, at 29 degrees of analytical Virgo, which is also the sign of health.

Mercury sextile Pluto is deemed to be excellent for research, as Mercury’s understanding and reasoning is given much greater depth and focus when aligned with intense Pluto, which symbolizes what’s “hidden below” (life at the cellular level).

Too, Mercury’s placement in Scorpio, in addition to its “sextile to Pluto,” was like having a ‘double whammy’ of transformational Scorpio energy to work with that day. Also, Virgo is a sign associated with microscopically “breaking things down” so as to understand them better.

Other planetary influences at the time: Mercury was conjunct imaginative Neptune at 0 degrees of scholastic Sagittarius; fortuitous Venus and Jupiter were exactly conjunct in Scorpio, perhaps bringing an element of “luck” and “more advantageous conditions” to the matter of research and problem-solving (Scorpio). The Sun was also in Scorpio exactly opposite Karma Lord Saturn in manifesting Taurus. Saturn represents “form-building” while oppositions denote “turning points.”

Finally, pioneering Mars in intellectual Libra was also separating from a potent conjunction with breakthrough Uranus, a planet known to bestow “sudden flashes of brilliance.”  Uranus often acts as a catalyst for change and often manifests it through technological and scientific advancement.

Astrology April 11, 2010: The Dream Weaver Pisces Moon

“Dreams come true when you wake up in them.” Maurice Spees.

Cosmic Watch:

Our idealism is stoked today with the compassionate, idealistic Pisces Moon. Potentially a nice time for sowing a plethora of good deeds as we try to believe the best about everybody/everything.  However, since it may be a bit harder to distinguish fact from fiction now, we may just want to go with the flow and not worry too much about what we’re feeling is real or not. We’ll know soon enough!

“All that is gold does not glitter, not all who wander are lost, the old that are strong do not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.  From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring, renewed shall be blade that is broken, the crownless again shall be king.”  – J.R.R Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Enjoy your Sunday!
