Cosmic Weather:

“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.”  Ernest Hemingway

With a potent New Moon taking place today in “tweaking” Virgo (6:37 am), the sign of health, work, and service, there’s likely a growing momentum occurring now to roll out the “new and improved” versions of things (including ourselves!), in the days ahead. In general, this is always an excellent lunation period for any kind of problem-solving, for practical negotiations, for DIY projects, for decluttering, detoxifying, editing, for implementing new health regimes, adding new habits, for perfecting our skills.

This New Moon also finds a total of five planets (a stellium) in corrective Virgo (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars), which suggests a strong ability to focus or concentrate on the extraneous details (or the infrastructure) of our daily lives to discern how everything is – or isn’t – working. Also, for those of us who seem to have more difficulty focusing on the small stuff, just the sheer act of getting more organized – a Virgo trait – is often a very good way to become more aware of all the pivotal minutiae circulating around.

Both Mars (assertion) and Venus (wants) are also conjunct the Sun and the Moon now, with Mercury (communication) not very far away, so there’s a great deal of single-minded motivation, determination, and energy to actively pursue our desires, or whatever it is that we want to attract (including love and romance). There may also be a heightened ability to work in a very precise, orderly, and methodical manner, and to communicate with others on more of a factual (or reality-based) level.

The Mars conjunction (to the Sun and Moon) can also indicate a potential for displaying real courage or bravery, depending upon the situation, as well as possibly a good amount of competitiveness and wanting to do things our own way. The Mars-Sun energy will also be exact, for the next few days, and in health and research-minded Virgo, there’s a possibility that some notable discoveries or advances will be made (perhaps in healing or medicine). Mars-Sun aspects, particularly the conjunction, have a marked trailblazing quality to them, which can be very invigorating to experience. Perhaps, too, if there’s been something you’ve wanted to try but have been hesitant to do so, for whatever reason, now might be a good time give it a whirl, or to at least take a first baby step, in that direction.

Altogether, too, there are eight planets in the grounding earth signs, which strongly suggests that there’s special finesse or talent now in dealing with the tangible affairs of the world (especially money, security, and career). It’s also an excellent period for strategically planning the use or allocation of our resources.

Sometimes, too, a concentration of planets in “shrinking” Virgo is associated with having more of a myopic vision as far as the bigger picture is concerned. However, today’s lunation also has all of the Virgo planets trining Uranus (the planet of innovation and technology), in pragmatic Taurus, suggesting that there’s a real receptivity or fascination now for whatever’s progressive, cutting-edge, or apart from the norm, thereby making it also potentially easier for us to embrace the idea of change or newness.

“Habits also make change possible by freeing us from decision-making and from using self-control.” Gretchen Rubin (author of “Better Than Before”)

Numerologically, today (8-30-2019) also reduces down to both a 3 (Jupiter) and a 5 (Mercury), so there’s some optimism, desire for sociability, and a feeling of expansion (the 3 side) as well as a good measure of nimbleness and curiosity at play (5).

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein, was born on August 30, 1797, in London, England. (Frankenstein was an instant bestseller on publication in 1818 and has long been regarded as a masterpiece of suspense, a classic of nineteenth-century Romanticism and Gothic horror, and the prototype of the science fiction novel. From Wikipedia)

Astrologically, in the sky that day (and in Shelley’s birth-chart), there was a stellium in “tinkering” Virgo (like today), with adventurous, initiator Mars newly-deposited at 0 degrees of Virgo and in a near-exact opposition to darkhorse Pluto, Lord of the Underworld. (Mars-Pluto energy can also give a fascination with the macabre.) The life-giving Sun was also deposited in analytical Virgo and conjunct inventive, ingenious Uranus (possibly helpful for writing science fiction; Sci-Fi writer, Ray Bradbury, also had a Sun-Uranus opposition aspect in his chart).

“Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful.” Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

Happy New Moon Blessings!

Astrology December 8, 2011: Sun Aligns With Jupiter

08 Thursday Dec 2011

COSMIC WATCH:

The Sun in zealous Sagittarius is forming a frictional 135-degree linkup to exaggerating Jupiter in bullish Taurus. We are cautioned not to go overboard with our resources today. Or, get too caught up in the realm of grandiose thinking. Since the practical Taurus Moon is also making a square to fantasy Neptune (6:40 pm EST) we can make our lives much less complicated by sticking mainly with the facts of matters and discounting innuendo or rumors. It is also wise to hold ourselves accountable now instead of trying to escape our circumstances.

Fortunately, later, the Moon’s shift into thinker Gemini (9:54 pm EST), and an awakening Moon-Uranus sextile (11:10 pm EST), supplies us with all the keen cerebral insight and originality we need to cleverly solve our problems and heroically close out the day. Moon-Uranus perennially serves to align us with our inner genius. This is also a good time to deal with technology matters. Or maybe even try our hand at invention.

“All perceiving is also thinking, all reasoning is also intuition, all observation is also invention.” Rudolph Arnheim

Famous People with Moon Sextile Uranus: Dick Cheney, Prince Charles.

Today’s Affirmation: My thoughts are grounded and I can see my way clearly.

Enjoy your Thursday!

Patrice Astrology March 11, 2011: “Major Shift” Uranus enters Aries

10 Thursday Mar 2011

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Change is inevitable – except from a vending machine.” Robert C. Gallagher

The big day has finally arrived! Unpredictable Uranus, the “rebel planet of change,” officially enters action-packed Aries (7:50 pm EST), the cardinal, fire sign of “new beginnings.” Uranus, which is also associated with genius and invention, will stay in Aries for the next 7 years. (Uranus was already briefly here last year, from late May until mid-August, before retrograding back into Pisces.)

Of course, so much has already been written about this planet’s ingress into Aries that I am not going to expound too much more about it here, except to say that I believe it very well could signal a “major shift” in our collective consciousness. Uranus is linked with “liberation” or being “set free” and deposited in adventurous, impulsive Aries it would seem that it would have the overall net affect of making us more assertive (Mars rules Aries) in going after what we desire. Aries as a sign does not want to be held back or restrained in any way, and is willing to fight for what it wants and believes in.  It has a strong “survivalist” mentality. Too, the psychology of Aries is much more self-focused with the keywords for the sign being: “I am.” Of course, electrifying Uranus is also correlated with individualism, so the placement in “self-discovery” Aries is a good fit.

Too, we have already seen the events that have occurred with expansive Jupiter’s movement into “fighter” Aries, late January, which has correlated with the political revolt and uprisings in the Middle East, with the citizenry there seeking more personal freedom and empowerment for themselves (this movement also got underway just as warrior Mars entered group-oriented Aquarius). Also, in the U.S. we have had the vitriolic political revolt in Wisconsin, which came to a head quickly yesterday, as intellectual Mercury moved into fiery Aries and the Republicans hastily, and boldly, passed the controversial bill that strips away almost all collective bargaining rights for Wisconsin state employees. The Aries energy is sort of akin to the discovery spirit of the pioneer of the old Wild West. It’s very gutsy and daring. Full of fearless, self-confidence. (Too, we have ruthless Pluto in governmental Capricorn as a backdrop here. Pluto rules debt and purging and is characteristically very controlling.)

We will also want to see what house (or area of life) in our own horoscope that Uranus is currently passing through, to shed light on how it may be impacting us on a personal level. For instance, we may be feeling more of a “shift” or “call to action” now with respect to the specific affairs of that house. This energizing by Uranus will likely continue, too, for a long time to come. Included here: A real desire to show the world “what makes us tick” as individuals. Again, all this can be very positive, as Uranus tends to propel us out of our ruts and along the path of our authenticity. The shadow side of Uranus is that it can, initially at least,  be very disruptive, especially if we resist making needed changes.

Uranus also rules innovation, science, and technology (including the internet). I expect that with Uranus in pioneering Aries we will see amazing new discoveries and advancements in both of these areas, probably coming to us at lightning (Uranus) speed.

Aside from Uranus moving into Aries today, we also have the daily Moon entering chatty, restless Gemini (12:32 am EST). A time when we will want to put our minds into overdrive to match the Uranian bolt into Aries. Reading, writing, social networking – all forms of communication get the green light, especially during the late evening hours (EST) when the Moon makes favorable aspects to philosophical Jupiter (8:32 pm) and romantic Venus (11:39 pm). Of course, the Moon-Venus influence is all about making a solid “love connection.” Including putting our feelings into words (Moon in Gemini).

News Update: We had an 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan today and resultant tsunamis worldwide. Uranus is associated with earthquakes. So, at least on the surface, it appears that we are not the only ones making “major shifts” now – the earth is also shifting its energies around!

Too, could the earthquake in Japan be a preview of Uranus setting the stage for what’s to come during its energetic passage through action-packed Aries? Let’s certainly hope not! There’s also not any reason to believe that this will be the case either. However, he has definitely gotten all of our attention, hasn’t he? If indeed Uranus even has anything to do with today’s chaotic events. We are only conjecturing here that it does because of the timing.

For a point of reference, too: When Uranus first moved into Pisces, several years ago, is the very day that the war in Iraq started, which was symbolically a devastating quake of another kind. It could be that Uranus unleashes more palpable disruption, at the point when it’s changing signs, in keeping with his more volatile, unsteady nature. Also, this is just an observation of mine here. I always note, too, when major planets change signs to discern the “shift in energy” patterns. Technically, too, Uranus is still in watery Pisces (ruling the ocean and the tsunamis) until 7:50 pm EST today, although when a major planet does switch signs, there is a transition period ahead of time when you can already start to feel its affects and today we are exactly on that crossover border. Of course, our prayers go out to those who are suffering from this tragic, natural disaster. Just read that hundreds of lives have already been lost by the tsunamis. This is a very sad day for many. We must all pull together.

Famous Birthdays March 11th: Rupert Murdoch (80), Antonin Scalia (75).

Patricia’s Astrology January 15, 2011 Mars Enters Aquarius Daily Horoscope

14 Friday Jan 2011

“It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.” W. Edwards Deming

COSMIC WEATHER:

Energy planet Mars, symbolically depicting the urge for self-assertion, takes the big plunge and officially sky-rockets into hi-tech, futuristic Aquarius, the opinionated, scientific home of wacky astronomers waxing delusional and very bitterly about 13 zodiacal signs. (See link below)  Mars will stay in this sign until February 22nd.

With Mars in Aquarius, a sign which represents cultural diversity and “changing things up,” we are eager to venture off into unchartered waters, as long as we are able to cart along, of course, our smart phones and other technological gadgetry. Aquarius rules innovation and invention, especially more of a scientific or technological nature.

Theoretically we “progress” now by embracing or cultivating change, and utilizing new approaches or strategies in our daily endeavors. As part of this orientation we may want to collaborate with more original-type thinkers, or more non-comforming types, to get a fresh take on things.  We may want also to expand our networking efforts now and get involved more with group causes, or group ventures (Aquarius rules groups and friends). Mars in Aquarius = energy for groups.

The Moon also enters curious, loquacious Gemini today. In Gemini, the Moon provides us with more of a penchant and willingness for flexibility. In other words, more of an ability to go with the flow. We’re not as rigid now, and we’re also wanting to physically move around. We have more of a capacity to see the humor in any situation, too, as this Moon tends to be more light-hearted and likes to laugh. Humor is a positive trait that often gets overlooked, but it’s something that can come in handy for coping with the mighty stresses and woes of living in Madonna’s material world, but, unfortunately, without Madonna’s nifty checkbook to tote around.

Questions to entertain with Mars deposited in Aquarius:

How are we about embracing change? Do we welcome new strategies, or prefer to stick with the tried-and-true?

Can we recall a time when we tried a new approach with something and it saved the day for us?

Is there any one area in our life now that could perhaps benefit by employing new methods? What about changing aspects of our sex life? Mars does rule sex. Hmmmm. Sex life??? Can’t quite recall what that’s all about? ::scratches head::

If we could change one thing about ourselves, what would it be? Our nose? Our brain? The pattern of our fingerprints?

How are we at interfacing with groups of people? Comfortable? Uncomfortable?

Are we more of a leader, or a follower?

Are there any social or humanitarian causes that we could maybe get involved with now? Aquarius pertains to immersion in matters that benefit the collective.

What is the most off-the-wall thing we have done in the past year? Have we even done anything off-the-wall, lately? If not, why not? Could it be that we are packaged too tightly, and that we should give ourselves permission to roam around a little, or a lot? Especially when we are trying to locate the ever-elusive George Clooney.

“They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.” Confucius

With Mars in Aquarius, this is the time to take bold, decisive action to get out of our ruts. Out of our stagnation. We should never allow ourselves to think that change is not possible for us. It is, and now is the time to seek out that change! This is also an excellent time for putting new systems or procedures into place. In other words, erecting new infrastructure.

One project that I personally intend to do now is get rid of the ancient computer PC in my home-office. I never use it. All it does it sit on the computer table taking up space. This scenario has been going on for over a year now, ever since I got my new laptop, because I have been terrified at the thought of having to deal with all the plugs and cords, etc. plugged into the computer. Plus, I don’t know how to clean the hard drive. I have decided now, though, that with Mars in hi-tech Aquarius I am going to somehow figure out how to proceed here and get rid of the frickin’ thing. Free up the chi energy around me. In fact, I am resolving to go through every room in my house and purge. I want the environment “different” around me now. I want to tap into the newness and freshness of Mars in Aquarius.

Uranus Goes Direct in Pisces December 5, 2010

“Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.” John Wooden

The “radical change” planet Uranus stations direct in Pisces on December 5, 2010, after nearly a 5-month retrograde period. Uranus rules aviation, innovation,  revolution, technology, and scientific achievement. Uranus characteristically acts to “accelerate” or “quicken the pace” of events in our lives, both individually and collectively.

On a personal level, Uranus pertains to our “urge for individuality,” or need to “differentiate” ourselves from others. It also speaks to our “desire for freedom” or “liberation” from authority figures or restrictive situations. It frequently acts as kind of a “loose cannon,” symbolizing the “problem child” lurking inside each of us, who only wants to be a law unto himself.

Uranus additionally denotes our “intuition” or “sudden flashes” of insight. It is associated with “strokes of genius.”

Uranus spends approximately 7 years in each of the astrological signs, so after it leaves Pisces for Aries in March 2011, it will not be back in this sign for another 84 years.

Neptune-ruled Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, signifies our “spiritual urge” or “desire for transcendence.” It governs our charitable and compassionate instincts, and our more ego-denying impulses. Pisces also correlates with fantasy and our imagination, having domain over our creative impulses.

It could be that with Uranus direct, once again, in Pisces, that we have an excellent chance, the next few months, to make notable progress regarding our spiritual path, perhaps experience new revelations.  Yoga, meditation, and prayer may be more potent now as avenues for accelerating our inner guidance and insight.

We may also want to pay closer attention to our dreams and, if we’re not doing so already, start keeping a dream journal, as Pisces rules dreams and the subconscious and Uranus can be a sudden  “awakening agent” here. It should also be an excellent time for psychic development, with Uranus ruling intuition.

Uranus additionally governs astrology. It may also be a good time to get more involved with this study, as a way of opening ourselves up to higher wisdom and self-knowledge.

On a personal note: One thing that I enjoy doing, in a bid to cultivate my own ESP, is to periodically sit down in the evening with a magazine and, with my eyes closed, while running my hands over the pages, I try to “read” the pages.  I specifically try to pick up pictures or images on the pages, or see if I can psychically glean the general theme of the page, or at least get a feel for any colors.  It’s a fun thing to do, and the results can be pretty amazing. At least this has been the case for me. This is something I’ve done for over 20 years. Maybe others may want to try doing the same thing now, with intuitive Uranus stationing direct in psychic Pisces.

Too, our creativity and artistic leanings (Pisces) could be primed for a big boost now with Uranus direct. Included here might be film-making, photography, writing, painting, music, songwriting, dance, poetry. It may be that immersion into “creative-type expression” serves as a liberating agent (Uranus) for us.

Of course, perhaps the most noble and worthwhile thing that we could all do with Uranus stationing direct in “selfless” Pisces is to become more involved in humanistic causes. Maybe do more volunteering. Or find other ways, maybe novel new ways (Uranus), of giving back to our communities, and to the planet.

Historically, on a collective level, the last time Uranus turned direct in Pisces, before entering Aries for seven years, was back in December of 1927. It stationed direct on December 10th that year.

Interestingly, on December 8, 1927, Valdimir Shatalov was born in Petrapavlovsk. He would later become a Russian cosmonaut (Uranian-ruled profession). Shatalov flew three space missions of the Soyuz programme.  Then, from 1971 to 1987, he was Commander of Cosmonaut Training, and Director of the Cosmonaut Training Centre from then until 1991.

Also, on December 12, 1927, Robert Norton Norce was born in Burlington, Iowa. He would eventually be nicknamed the “Mayor of Silicon Valley.” He co-founded Fairchild Semiconductor in 1957 and Intel in 1968 (Uranus rules technology).  Norce  is credited with the invention of the integrated circuit or microchip, along with Jack Kilby.

Maybe history will also repeat itself now.  Perhaps a few more, “high-level” Uranian types, will be incarnating to our planet in the near term, to eventually propel us all forward in a positive, accelerated manner.

Too, with Uranus stationing direct now, we may also want to pay closer attention to the news headlines, the next few days. Especially look for breaking news regarding insurrections, rebel causes (Juan Assange), and technological (the internet) and scientific advances or developments. Also, news about outer space or “the great beyond.” Also, we may want to monitor news of a more ‘spiritual’ or ‘religious’ nature (Pisces).

It should also be noted here that when we have a change of motion with a planet, in this case Uranus stationing direct from, the influence is felt for a few days before and a few days after the turnaround.

“Our inventions mirror our secret wishes.” Lawrence Durrell

It would be so helpful if someone could invent a delightful “speed dial feature” that I could add to my Crystal Ball that would allow me to expedite my fortune-telling capabilities and thereby free me up for other fun-filled activities such as vacuuming or maybe extensive removal of offensive tea or coffee stains from my soiled laundry.

It is highly embarrassing and bad feng shui energy to have stained laundry in the clothes hamper when you know that, at any minute, it could get discovered by space aliens. I hardly sleep at night anymore, I am so worried about the unsightly stains and my lack of time to remove them and how this dilemma may keep me from voyaging to new galaxies.

Too, all my life I have wanted more time for vacuuming, and I’m talking serious vacuuming here involving the use of several dirt bags. Done properly, and with deliberate, heartfelt effort, vacuuming can be such an intimate and incredibly mind-altering experience, especially when you live alone, and you’re female, and can seductively draw the curtains all the way back to vacuum.

I know, too, that I would rather listen to the sound of a vacuum than even to a symphony by any of the world’s greatest composers. There’s just something about the authentic, suction vacuum sound that is so reassuring and comforting. So primal.

As a woman, too, I know that my loyal vacuum will always be there for me to hold on to, unlike some of the dirt bag men in I’ve known in my life who eagerly sucked out my contents and then suddenly vanished into thin air, not even leaving me a trail of dust to spit on and vacuum up after.

The reason I am opening up and finally sharing with you my private vacuum wish today, something I have wanted to reveal to you for quite a while now, and also assorted details of my previous romantic encounters, and fervid desire for a speed dialer for my Crystal Ball, is because today in the cosmos we are deeply, deeply privileged to have impinging upon our cerebral consciousness the divine movement of “Thought Keeper” Mercury into intellectually-curious Gemini (1:41 am EDT), the communication sign, that it proudly rules.

Mercury here elevates our curiosity, accelerates our thinking, and makes us ravenous for information and conversation.

We also have an opportunity for colossal discoveries and the possibility of new inventions now because this Winged Creature will be aligning today with both expansive Jupiter and genius Uranus via the stimulating sextile aspect, assuming everyone has taken their Viagra, of course.

So, Mercury-Jupiter-Uranus together as one, spells B-I-G Day for the collective for brainy ideas that can change and transform the world. I am very excited about the possibilities of this energy.

By the way, here’s one obscure piece of astrological trivia for you that sort of fits right in here: Triple A Motor Club, the travel-related entity, came into being on a creative Mercury sextile Uranus day. Mercury pertains to both communication and transportation. Uranus, as most of us know, ushers in the new. Triple A was a pretty big deal, and more novel (Uranus) concept for travelers at the time (Mercury) – and it’s still around.

Meanwhile, the Moon changes from placid Taurus to Mercury’s very own restless Gemini sign today (at 6:12 pm EDT).  The evening time may bring an even more accelerated pace to the cosmic energy, but we are also more potentially combative with a square to Mars. Vacuuming is highly advisable as an intelligent way to vent now. Especially for single women who have done their laundry.

“I’m not going to vacuum until Sears makes one you can ride on.” Roseanne Barr

This Update:

Just in to my attention from reporter Mercury in Gemini sextile Jupiter/Uranus in discovery Aries: Oldest example of a leather shoe has been discovered by archaeologists in a cave in Armenia.  It supposedly predates Stonehenge by 400 years and the Pyramids of Giza by 1,000 years. Researches say it was made from a single strip of leather and was made to fit the wearer’s foot. Wonder if it may need a little vacuuming? Can you imagine all the microscopic dirt and dust that must be on it. We will probably need a powerful industrial-size vacuum for this cleaning, don’t you think? Something energetic Mars in cleanaholic Virgo can easily handle.

Ironically, when I woke up this morning, I was thinking how it may just be our very karma and higher destiny now to clean and discover beaucoup amounts of new dirt all around us with this Jupiter/Uranus discovery energy and passionate Mars in pristine Virgo to guide us. I’m sure curious Mercury in Gemini today, too, will be able to scope out all the unlimited filth about each and everyone of us that’s fit to print and put on the internet.   What a mind-boggling day to be a reporter!

Also, on a more serious note, with this powerful energy for cleaning now, maybe some genius will finally be able to figure out how to clean up the tragic mess in and along the Gulf. Mars will be in thorough Virgo until the end of July, perfect for devising new clean up strategies, especially along side Jupiter and Uranus. Lord of Karma Saturn is also in Virgo and quinqunx to poor disillusioned Neptune, ruler of the sea and oil.

Event in history on this date:

John F. Kennedy signs into law “equal pay for equal work” for men and women on June 10, 1963. Pioneering Mars was in Virgo, the sign of work, conjunct Uranus, the freeing planet of equality.  How cool is that?

June 10th birthdays:

John Edwards, Eliot Spitzer (Wow, something in the cosmic drinking water for June 10th?)

Also, adding a new daily feature here.  “The Cosmic Word for the Day.” Today’s Cosmic Word can actually be two words or one word: “Dust mite” or “Dustmite.” With Mercury, ruler of words, entering dual-bodied Gemini today, I thought it would be appropriate to have a word with two spellings.

Enjoy your Thursday! Find a way to unearth your dream and make it fit into your life today alongside that prehistoric shoe.

“Our inventions mirror our secret wishes.” Lawrence Durrell

It would be so helpful if someone could invent a delightful “speed dial feature” that I could add to my Crystal Ball that would allow me to expedite my fortune-telling capabilities and thereby free me up for other fun-filled activities such as vacuuming or maybe extensive removal of offensive tea or coffee stains from my soiled laundry.

It is highly embarrassing and bad feng shui energy to have stained laundry in the clothes hamper when you know that, at any minute, it could get discovered by space aliens. I hardly sleep at night anymore, I am so worried about the unsightly stains and my lack of time to remove them and how this dilemma may keep me from voyaging to new galaxies.

Too, all my life I have wanted more time for vacuuming, and I’m talking serious vacuuming here involving the use of several dirt bags. Done properly, and with deliberate, heartfelt effort, vacuuming can be such an intimate and incredibly mind-altering experience, especially when you live alone, and you’re female, and can seductively draw the curtains all the way back.

I know, too, that I would rather listen to the sound of a vacuum than even to a symphony by any of the world’s greatest composers. There’s just something about a vacuum pitch that is so reassuring and comforting. So primal.

As a woman, too, I know that my loyal vacuum will always be there for me to hold on to, unlike some of the dirt bag men I’ve known in my life who eagerly sucked out my contents and then suddenly vanished into thin air, not even leaving me a trail of dust to spit on and vacuum up afterwards.

The reason I am opening up and finally sharing with you my private vacuum wish today, something I have wanted to reveal to you for quite a while now, and also assorted details of my previous romantic encounters, and fervid desire for a speed dialer for my Crystal Ball, is because today in the cosmos we are deeply, deeply privileged to have impinging upon our cerebral consciousness the divine movement of “Thought Keeper” Mercury into intellectually-curious Gemini (1:41 am EDT), the communication sign, that it proudly rules.

Mercury here elevates our curiosity, accelerates our thinking, and makes us ravenous for information and conversation.

We also have an opportunity for colossal discoveries and the possibility of new inventions now because this Winged Creature will be aligning today with both expansive Jupiter and genius Uranus via the stimulating sextile aspect, assuming everyone has taken their Viagra, of course.

So, Mercury-Jupiter-Uranus together as one, spells B-I-G Day for the collective for brainy ideas that can change and transform the world. I am very excited about the possibilities of this energy.

By the way, here’s one obscure piece of astrological trivia for you that sort of fits right in here: Triple A Motor Club, the travel-related entity, came into being on a creative Mercury sextile Uranus day. Mercury pertains to both communication and transportation. Uranus, as most of us know, ushers in the new. Triple A was a pretty big deal, and more novel (Uranus) concept for travelers at the time (Mercury) – and it’s still around.

Meanwhile, the Moon changes from placid Taurus to Mercury’s very own restless Gemini sign today (at 6:12 pm EDT).  The evening time may bring an even more accelerated pace to the cosmic energy, but we are also more potentially combative with a square to Mars. Vacuuming is highly advisable as an intelligent way to vent now. Especially for single women who have done their laundry.

“I’m not going to vacuum until Sears makes one you can ride on.” Roseanne Barr

This Update:

Just in to my attention from reporter Mercury in Gemini sextile Jupiter/Uranus in discovery Aries: Oldest example of a leather shoe has been discovered by archaeologists in a cave in Armenia.  It supposedly predates Stonehenge by 400 years and the Pyramids of Giza by 1,000 years. Researches say it was made from a single strip of leather and was made to fit the wearer’s foot. Wonder if it may need a little vacuuming? Can you imagine all the microscopic dirt and dust that must be on it. We will probably need a powerful industrial-size vacuum for this cleaning, don’t you think? Something energetic Mars in cleanaholic Virgo can easily handle.

Ironically, when I woke up this morning, I was thinking how it may just be our very karma and higher destiny now to clean and discover beaucoup amounts of new dirt all around us with this Jupiter/Uranus discovery energy and passionate Mars in pristine Virgo to guide us. I’m sure curious Mercury in Gemini today, too, will be able to scope out all the unlimited filth about each and everyone of us that’s fit to print and put on the internet.   What a mind-boggling day to be a reporter!

Also, on a more serious note, with this powerful energy for cleaning now, maybe some genius will finally be able to figure out how to clean up the tragic mess in and along the Gulf. Mars will be in thorough Virgo until the end of July, perfect for devising new clean up strategies, especially along side Jupiter and Uranus.

Event in history on this date:

John F. Kennedy signs into law “for equal pay for equal work” for men and women on June 10, 1963. Pioneering Mars was in Virgo, the sign of work, conjunct (together with) Uranus, the freeing planet of equality.  How cool is that?

June 10th birthdays:

John Edwards, Eliot Spitzer (Wow, something in the cosmic drinking water for June 10th?)

Also, adding a new daily feature here.  “The Cosmic Word for the Day.” Today’s Cosmic Word can actually be two words or one word: “Dust mite” or “Dustmite.” With Mercury, ruler of words, entering dual-bodied Gemini today, I thought it would be appropriate to have a word with two spellings.

Enjoy your Thursday! Find a way to unearth your dream and make it fit into your life today along side that prehistoric shoe.

Patricia’s Daily Astrology Horoscope June 1, 2010: CNN’s Debut

“To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.” Thomas Edison (Aquarian)

The Moon ventures into innovative Aquarius (1:08 am EDT), shortly thereafter aligning with rebel Uranus in Aries.  We’re more inclined to want to break some rules today and stretch beyond our current limits.  Towing the status quo is of far less status and consequence to us now.  We want to change things up and make some waves.

Speaking of waves, it was thirty years ago today, June 1, 1980, that Ted Turner’s CNN (Cable News Network) hit the airwaves.

At the time of the debut, the Sun (the core of the enterprise) was in the newsaholic sign of Gemini (Gemini rules news reporting and information-gathering) and in an exact square to pioneering Mars in perceptive Virgo. Sun-Mars days typically usher in new beginnings. The Sun-Mars energy also gives a sense of urgency and adventure, along with a desire to want to go and be where the action (Mars) is. Mars rules the aggressive urge.

Gemini’s planetary ruler, Mercury, which governs speech and communication, was also exactly sextile to long-winded Jupiter, the planet of opportunity and expansion.  With Mercury-Jupiter, there would never be a loss for words or things to report on for CNN.  Jupiter oversizes everything it touches and connected to “Winged Messenger” Mercury it can yield the proverbial “diarrhea of the mouth,” hence the need for 24/7 news coverage.

When CNN launched, expansive Jupiter was in Virgo, along with Mars and Saturn.  Virgo is perfect for in-depth news analysis, as this sign is all about dissecting the facts and information that Gemini has collected.  The descriptive keyword for Virgo is “analysis.” In the physical body, Virgo rules the intestines, the part of the body that breaks down food particles so that they may be digested.

Practical, stabilizing Saturn was also in a supportive sextile to inventive Uranus in transforming Scorpio.  Uranus rules television broadcasting.  Saturn here provided firm footing for the new Uranian venture. You always want to have positive Saturn aspects, as Saturn gives longevity and worldly success.

Additionally, Saturn was exactly square to Neptune in Sagittarius, the sign of long-distance travel and faraway lands.  Neptune rules images and television cameras. CNN became a pioneering platform for broadcasting news images from around the world.

From the beginning, CNN also helped build and fostered a sense of Neptunian oneness.  Neptune is all about dissolving the borders that separate us, both personally and collectively. With CNN, we were finally able to see and hear about what was going on around the world and I think that made us feel more connected in our humanity.

Happy Birthday to you, CNN! We are so glad for your success and we appreciate all that you have done for the world in the way of stellar news coverage. (Also a big shout out to that really cute, Gemini reporter, Anderson Cooper.)

Other June 1st Gemini Birthdays: Marilyn Monroe and Andy Griffith (born on the very same day).

Enjoy your Tuesday. Make some exciting news of your own today.
