“Most people are slow to champion love because they fear the transformation it brings into their lives. And make no mistake about it: love does take over and transform the schemes and operations of our egos in a very mighty way.” AberJhani

Cosmic Weather: Mercury conjuncts Uranus in spontaneous Aries (1:19 am). This quickening influence speeds up our thought processes! It’s associated with sudden decision-making. There’s more of a tendency to seek out-of-the-ordinary solutions to problems now. It can be a highly creative or inventive time for us, intellectually, as we are more willing to entertain different viewpoints and perspectives. We are also less concerned now with what other people think about us. Anytime Mercury and Uranus conjoin, there’s also a potential for surprising or startling twists in communications (Mercury) due to the more erratic and experimental nature of Uranus (President Trump’s firing of James Comey FBI Director!). On the shadow side, this configuration can make us mentally restless and rebellious and more rash and impulsive in our decisions.

Full Moon in Passionate Scorpio (5:42 pm). We are seeking to balance our need for security or stability (Sun in Taurus) with our desire for shared intimacy with others (Moon in opposing Scorpio). Because of the illuminating nature of a Full Moon, we may also discover what it is that may be preventing us from reaching this objective, and what to do about it. The Moon’s sextile to perceptive Pluto, the modern-day ruler of Scorpio, can also offers us deeper insights into the emotional needs of others. On another level, the Scorpio Full Moon can trigger sweeping shifts in power, partly because we are not afraid to act on our desires and go after what it is that we want.

*All times are EDT

“Maybe I’m just farsighted. The further away something is, the better I can see it. But, once it gets close, I lose sight of it.” Ai Yazawa

COSMIC WATCH:

We all crave intimacy or connection with others. However, we also know that “too much togetherness” can find us hightailing it for the hills! So how and where to draw the line here? This is a question that some of us may perhaps find ourselves mulling over now as sweet Venus aligns with “freedom-loving” Uranus (9:20 pm EDT) – a pairing that could very well translate into our wanting more “wiggle room” or “autonomy” with others, especially if we have been feeling too hemmed in, as of late.

By the way, relationship experts add that another key ingredient for happy relationships is to focus on bringing out the best in each other – a practice that can lead to our becoming our “idealized” (Neptunian) selves.

Question for Today: What do you wish that others understood “the most” about you?

Astrology: Mercury Direct, Sex Possible Again? December 30, 2010

“I think – therefore I’m single.” Lizz Winstead

Cosmic Weather:

Winged Messenger Mercury, associated with thinking, communication, travel, and the inner workings of thermometers, stations direct today (2:22 am EST) at 19 degrees of visionary Sagittarius, after nearly a three-week retrograde period.

With Mercury’s direct motion, we have clearance, once again, to fully engage in unedited, primal, raw thinking.  No more of the obligatory recalling of our thoughts. No need to dutifully swallow our words, or to speak sheepishly in monotone whispers.

We also have the cosmic go ahead to purchase computers, printers, color TVs, microwave ovens, buy cars, etc. It’s also okay to sign or negotiate contracts. (Some elitists, however, may want to wait until Mercury gets out of its official “shadow period” on January 17th, 2011, or passes over the 5-degree point in Capricorn where it initially went retrograde, to do these things. See my “Mercury stations direct blog” for more info.)

This direct motion also comes along at exactly the right time because the Moon is presently deposited in sexy Scorpio. Wouldn’t you know that the universe would have us thinking immediately about sex, right out of the gate? Probably something to do with the propagation of the species.

Too, with our tender brains having been on ice for the last few weeks, the “powers that be” maybe thought we would need a few days to get our mental faculties fully back up to speed. Although, sometimes the activities between the sheets can also get very complicated:

“John…”

“Marsha…”

“John…”

“Oh, Marsha…”

“Oh, John… John… I mean, Jack…”

“Jack! Who the hell’s Jack!”

“My heart beat so hard when I was near him, I feared he could hear my secret longing for him.” Destiny Vaestus

A few possible probing questions to ask ourselves today: Do we even remember what sex is? Approximately, what year did we last have sex? Do we recall if it was a solo event then, or more of a team sport? To the best of our recollection, was Mercury retrograde, or direct, when we last had sex?  Where was the Moon, still up in the sky? Can only leakers of classified information engage in unprotected sex? Can we only have unprotected sex in Sweden? Why do we think that Scorpio, the sign that governs sex, is associated with deadly scorpions? Go figure. 🙂

Patricia’s Daily Astrology Horoscope August 28, 2010: Healthy Sex

“Fitness – if it came in a bottle, everybody would have a great body.” Cher

Moon’s in “Forget the Mind, Let’s Get Physical” Aries. The Sun and Mercury are in “Health-Conscious” Virgo and preaching to Venus and Mars, still conjoined in “Mating” Libra, about the hazards of engaging in sex before first taking capsules of cod liver oil.

In case you’re also wondering: Venus did get out of bed to go shopping yesterday, but with the arrival of the weekend, and the “I want sex, and I want it now!” Aries Moon, still hovering around, she has decided to position herself back under the bed sheets with Mars, with yet another promise from him, of more opportunities to purchase expensive jewels on his credit card again, in the near future.

“We’ve had a stressful week, and now that the weekend is here, we want to unwind. But the Aries Moon is also casting a decidedly “physical” tone to the day. It’s clamoring to us to engage our muscles and other body parts in an intimate workout. Preferably, too, with another human being, because “Love Diva” Venus and “Sex Pistol” Mars are still in Libra, the sign of “The Other.”

Mercury and the Sun in “Clinical” Virgo are also requesting that we do our best to engage in only “responsible, healthy sex” this weekend, so as not to overtax our systems. In other words, in between the passionate night moves, we’ll need to monitor and document our vital signs, such as our temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure. And, if need be, spray for germs.

Now we know why so many Virgos are still virgins!

If we have to go through all this stuff, each time, is it really worth it? Even with George Clooney?

‘George, we have to stop now. I need to check your pulse. Hold on a minute, let me listen to your heart beat. Stick out your tongue, George, and let me look at it. And beat on it with my wooden stick.’

You know what? This approach may be just what the doctor ordered!

‘George, stick out your tongue again.

Yes, it looks like we may need to operate.”

Patrice Thompson

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope August 26, 2010: Hold A Seance

“This is the true joy of life, the being used up for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one.” George Bernard Shaw


The Contemplative but Fantasy Prone Pisces Moon is still burning gardenia incense (until 9:59 pm EDT) in a bid to keep the passionate desire going between Venus and Mars in Lover’s Lane Libra.

But things are also a little complicated on the romantic front because every few minutes the Cleanaholic Virgo Sun sticks his big head into the bedroom to remind everyone that there’s oodles of vacuuming to do.

The Virgo Sun’s trine to Deep Transforming Agent Pluto has him also believing that what is really needed here is some deep steam cleaning of all the carpets and upholstery.

The Moon enters Active Aries later in the day (10:49 pm EDT) at which time the pace quickens considerably. In fact, we get so carried away with the excitement of the raw energy that we start to even vacuum underneath the bed sheets, putting a big, golden smile on the Virgo Sun’s face, while simultaneously causing expletives and threats to spew out of our “formerly sleeping” partner’s mouth. And we’re not even in bed with Mel Gibson!

“We have some very cool, life-changing energy around us in the guise of the Sun in Employment Virgo trine to Potent Pluto in Career Capricorn.  Today could be one of those days in which we finally figure out or discover “our true calling” in life. It’s also a good time to apply or interview for a job, also realizing that stuff could get postponed etc, down the road, with the Mercury Retrograde in Virgo.

Also with the Mystical Pisces Moon and Past Life Pluto activated, this is a dynamite time for regression efforts. Or, for holding seances. Especially for channeling deceased politicians and bureaucrats with Pluto’s placement in governmental Capricorn. Perhaps, too, when the Moon enters Conquering Aries, we can try to connect with transitioned pioneers or former military leaders. I’m thinking maybe, General George Patton here? Or perhaps Genghis Khan?

If you also have any type of research to do, or better yet, spying to do, today is definitely the day to do it. Probably also superb for channeling former spies. Maybe “Maxwell Smart?”

In The News: A Sun-Pluto “spy story” for today.  The NYT.com is reporting that the aide to President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan, implicated in a corruption investigation, is actually being paid by our own Central Intelligence Agency.  Mohammed Zia Salehi, the chief of administration for the National Security Council, has apparently been on the CIA payroll for many years, although it is not known what his precise duties are. Pluto rules spies and espionage and when it’s ray is activated is often when we get “the real scoop” on things. It’s ray is activated today.

Patricia Thompson Astrology Horoscope May 19, 2010: Erratic Emotions

“We humans are full of unpredictable emotions that logic alone cannot solve.” James T. Kirk

Some major planetary energies are aligned above us today.

Romantic Venus, at the tale end of Gemini, forms a square to rebel Uranus in Pisces. We need to be more mindful of how we handle our relationships, as unstable and impulsive emotional elements are more at play here. Intimacy may seem less important to us than pursuing our personal freedom. Unconventional relationships also hold more appeal for us now.

The illuminating Sun in Taurus squares foggy Neptune in Aquarius.  Always with Neptune, it is harder for us to see clearly regarding the true nature of things. Everything seems to be wrapped in a veil of illusion. We are also more vulnerable to trickery and someone pulling the wool over our eyes. With this configuration involving the money and possession sign of Taurus, we need to be more careful with our resources today and steer clear away from any “get rich quick schemes.”

Additionally, with Sun-Neptune energy, there is often some measure of  “ego-denying experiences” that we must learn to deal with and confront. Also, some “dissolving” or “passing away” of certain elements of our reality may be taking place now.

To make the day even more intriguing, we have Winged Messenger Mercury in Taurus exactly trine to probing Pluto in Capricorn. Normally with Mercury-Pluto we are privy to finding out some BIG SECRETS, solving colossal riddles, and ferreting out troublemakers from their hiding places. The weird thing is, we also have the murky Sun-Neptune lurking around, so our dilemma is, how do we know whether what we are hearing today is really the truth, and nothing but the whole truth, so help me God? I’m not sure that we do have total clarity here.  Probably what we need to do is just wade along on a case by case basis and see what applies for specific situations.

On top of all of this planetary overload, we also have the Moon in theatrical Leo to deal with.  Of course, she is reacting strongly and dramatically to everything that is going on around her particularly any affronts to her personal power. So today, ought to be somewhat of a doozy. Be prepared to thrust into warp speed at any moment.

What I am really liking about the energy of today is that it is DIFFERENT. Even though though there is some measure of weirdness going on around us now with Neptune, we are also more mentally probing with Mercury Pluto.  Neptune can also make us very imaginative, so this influence is powerful for any work projects in the creative arts area.  Neptune specifically rules dance, photography, film-making, music, poetry, and painting. Venus Uranus also helps us to see our connections to others, as well as our relationship needs, in a new light, and I think that is also a bit of fresh air here.

On a final note, with the continuing drama unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico, I am wondering if the Sun-Neptune energy today may bring new developments on that front, as Neptune rules both the sea and oil. The concern now is that the oil may soon be moving from wind currents to the Keys and up the East Coast to the Carolinas and Virginia.  Let’s pray that will not be the case.

Enjoy your Wednesday.  Let me know if it ends up being one for the record books!

Astrology: Mercury Pluto And The AIDS Virus Discovery

23 Friday Apr 2010

Posted by in April 2010 Astrology

The statistics on AIDS are staggering.

More than 25 million people around the world have died from AIDS-related diseases.

At the end of 2007, UNAIDS estimated that 32.9 million people were living with HIV/AIDS worldwide.  That’s compared to to 29.5 million in 2001.

Suffice it to say, probably most of us have been touched by HIV/AIDS in some fashion or form.  I was first personally impacted in the early 1990s when a co-worker of mine died from AIDS. We were the same age.  I remember he had open sores all over his legs from the disease.

HIV is a “lentivirus” that attacks the immune system. The term “lentivirus” denotes a “slow virus” that takes a long time to manifest harmful affects in the body.

As most of us know, HIV is spread by sexual contact with an infected person. It can also be transmitted by sharing needles or syringes with someone who is infected. Less commonly, it is spread by blood transfusion, but the incidence of this has gone down with the advent of blood-screening for HIV antibodies.

The first recognized cases of AIDS occurred in the U.S. in mainly gay men in the early 1980s.

It was back on April 23, 1984 that the AIDS (acquired immune deficiency) virus was identified. The discovery of the AIDS virus was viewed at the time as a gigantic breakthrough in medical research.

On the same day the AIDS virus was identified, transiting Mercury was exactly opposite Pluto in Scorpio. But unless you were an astrologer, you probably didn’t know that at the time. Nor would you have cared.

Mercury rules news and information. It also governs our thinking and ideas.

Opposition aspects often signify turning points or a culmination in awareness.

Pluto, as the ruler of the sign of Scorpio, symbolizes death and rebirth and transformational changes. Pluto’s ray is often associated with life-altering events, historic firsts, and yes, breakthrough discoveries.

Scorpio is the sign of the zodiac that is also connected specifically to medical research. It also rules sex, and Pluto represents sexual issues.

So, to an astrologer, the news of the day on April 23, 1984, of the discovery of the AIDS virus, while exciting and wonderful, was not altogether unexpected due to the Mercury alignment with Pluto. Again, with Mercury Pluto, we expect to hear about monumental achievements or firsts. Mercury opposes Pluto once a year for two or three days.

What is also noteworthy here, when life-altering, transforming Pluto entered the sex sign of Scorpio, is essentially when most of us really became aware of AIDS.  It’s also when we started seeing glimpses of the impact of that deadly disease upon the world. Pluto first entered Scorpio in November of 1983.  It left that sign in November of 1995.

Daily Astrology Scoop Horoscope March 30, 2010: Togetherness

“The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people.” Theodore Roosevelt.

With the Moon continuing her stay in relationship Libra, the desire to collaborate with others is more appealing to us. We feel relaxed about sharing ourselves and our ideas. We are eager and receptive to the corresponding input from other persons.  There’s also more of a willingness for compromise and for the patching up of old difficulties.

On a romantic level, enjoying pleasurable moments of togetherness is always part of the special allure of the Moon when she is in this very sensual Venus-ruled sign. Togetherness intrinsically springs from a desire to want to mutually please each other.  Something that Libra is characteristically mindful of.

“And enough for me that when my hand touched your shoulder, you leaned on me; and when you felt me slip away, you called my name.” Orson Scott Card, Late American Author.

We do have an “awkward” energy pattern (sesquiquadrate) between Jupiter and Mars now. The caution here is not to become so overzealous or fanatical in our philosophical or religious beliefs (Jupiter) that we ride roughshod (Mars) over the beliefs of others.

Famous Aries persons born on this day: Celine Dion, B.F. Skinner, Warren Beatty, Eric Clapton, M.C. Hammer

In the News: With “warrior Mars” still exactly aligned with President Obama’s Mercury (speech and ideas), he’s slated to meet with French President Nicolas Sarkozy today at the White House to talk (consequently) about “matters of war” (Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan), as well as the Middle East peace process (diplomatic Libra Moon). Mars-Mercury is a highly charged mental period for the President when his personal ego is likely to be much more fused with his thought processes.  He is also potentially more passionate about his ideas and more capable of making an effective case for his positions.

On Sunday, with this same Mars-Mercury aspect, President Obama made a “surprise visit” to the war-zone region of Afghanistan and also met with that country’s ruler. (Mars rules war and is in the sign of Leo which governs world leaders.)

Peace and love, everyone!  Enjoy your Tuesday.

Daily Astrology Scoop Horoscope, February 17, 2010: Pope Benedict

“The important thing is to concentrate upon what you can do – by yourself, upon your own initiative.” Harry Browne

The pioneering, restless Aries Moon inclines us to want to prove ourselves through action today.  With Aries, we are always working out, at some level, issues of our own self-discovery, usually set to some sort of motion.

Energetic Mars in Leo harmonious to focused Saturn in Libra is also available to give us a steady inner discipline and determination to see our affairs through to completion. It also suggests to us that, for us to really get ahead, we would be well-served to inject diplomacy and best business practices into our strategies today, along with a touch of Leo’s personal flair for the dramatic.  The latter element can further help to distinguish ourselves from the pack.

The advantageous, Venus and Jupiter energy, in spiritual Pisces, still hovers protectively around us, to help heal our personal and collective  Chiron wounds.  It can also help to inspire us with a deeper reservoir of hope and faith, if we but go inside ourselves and meditate or pray.

Additionally, Venus and Jupiter beckon to us to be a beacon of hope and a ray of light to others.  We can do this through our expression of caring and the spreading around of selfless good deeds during the course of our day. Lucky Venus and Jupiter always multiplies back to us, many times over, all the good we put forth in the world, especially when they are together in the humanistic sign of Pisces.

Venus and Jupiter are also all about love, abundant love.  So romance continues to get a go ahead today. Too, the Mars in romantic Leo, favorable to Saturn in relationship Libra energy, is also in there rooting for us, in this department, and also maybe lending to us an extra measure of common-sense here.

Famous persons born on this day: Michael Jordan, Paris Hilton, Huey Newton, and Hal Holbrook.

A couple extra astrological footnotes, observations here: On Monday of this week, when protective by nature Venus, in healing Pisces, made an exact favorable sextile aspect to mysterious Pluto in Capricorn,  the Taliban’s top military commander was captured in a joint operation by U.S. and Pakistani forces in Karachi.  Pluto rules hidden, subversive forces, including terrorists. Venus is also conjunct lucky Jupiter now, and Jupiter is also in the very same favorable sextile to Pluto, paving away for both of these propitious planetary energies to act together in an abundant way to ferret out dark secrets and bounty that Pluto has been holding.   Jupiter always acts in a grand manner, too, and it seems a “big fish” has been caught.

Also, under these very same Venus Jupiter influences,  Pope Benedict XVI, on Monday, symbolically represented by Jupiter in Pisces, convened an unprecedented, two-day sex abuse summit with Irish bishops. Jupiter rules religion, Pluto rules hidden sexual abuse, and Pisces rules spirituality and addictions, as well as rehab for addictions.  The Pope picked an ideal time, with Jupiter and Venus in healing Pisces sextile to Pluto, to focus on the sexual abuse issue.  It remains to be seen, however, what will actually come from the summit, in terms of punishment for the offenders and justice for those who may have been abused.

In Pope Benedict’s birthchart horoscope, he also  has his pioneering Aries Sun, which rules his inner essence, exactly trine to his Neptune, which rules spiritualism and our connection to the Divine.  His Neptune is also in dramatic, showy Leo, in his fifth house of self-expression, so as pope, he is playing a role in life that he is ideally suited for.  In addition, he has his religious Jupiter in Pisces exactly on his Ascendant, giving him a natural philosophical and mystical orientation to life, as well as deep, natural healing qualities.  He also has a fair and balanced Libra Moon giving him a natural diplomacy and know-how with dealing with the public.

Additionally, Neptune, the dissolver and ruler of Pisces, is exactly conjunct Chiron, the wounded warrior, now, and that is another influence that gets us to focus on healing our personal and collective wounds.

Peace and love. Enjoy your day.
