COSMIC WEATHER:

“Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one who inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.” Marianne Williamson

The maternal Moon leaves intense Scorpio and enters zealous Sagittarius (7:46 am EST), forming challenging squares to the stellium of planets in sea and oil-based Pisces (Mars, Chiron, Mercury, Sun). Warrior Mars also conjuncts wounded healer Chiron. Manic Mars is additionally sesquiquadrate to denying Saturn in matrimonial Libra. Too, expansive Jupiter in fighter Aries is square to controlling, debt-minded Pluto in governmental Capricorn (exact this Friday).

I turned on the radio in bed this morning and it seemed that almost every news story was gloomy: The tragic earthquake in New Zealand, with hundreds still missing. The tragic civil war in Libya, and growing fear mounting among world leaders that Moammar Gadhafi may resort to using chemical weapons, including mustard gas, on his own people.

Then we have spiking oil prices which is going to likely create further hardship for many, and potentially stall economies worldwide (refer to my earlier blog on Mars entering Pisces and its affect on oil). Also, I heard on the radio about spikes in the incidence of whooping cough, even though there is a vaccine for it. Then there was further reporting of the ongoing budgetary standoff between Republicans and Democrats in Wisconsin which has spread to other states (very Jupiter-Pluto with again Pluto ruling debt).

Of course, the current cosmic activity conveniently explains all the turbulence, calamity, and unrest. My personal dilemma: How to write an upbeat daily horoscope forecast when there is so much visible suffering out there in the world now?

Too, yesterday, I personally had a freak, high-speed collision in my hallway with one of my ferocious toy poodles. I may have broken my middle toe in my left foot, so my foot is aching like crazy now. No consolation, either, that accident-monger Mars just moved into Pisces which rules the frickin’ foot, and is also moving through my 12th house of confinement! 🙂 My dog Boo, the lovable perpetrator of this weird, Neptunian incident, appears to be fine. BTW, Boo also has his natal Mars in Pisces which, I’m sure, also played a key factor here in my receipt of pain from the little canine beast.

The Moon’s entrance into fiery, enthusiastic Sagittarius and exactly square to the Pisces stellium of planets makes us much more restless and adventurous today. Accordingly, more likely to engage in “risk-taking” behavior. Too, Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius is very “cause-minded” and can be fanatical with respect to its beliefs and convictions, as can be underdog Pisces (which is co-ruled by Jupiter).

Pisces keywords are “serve or suffer” and Pisces is often willing to sacrifice whatever it has to, in order to see its ideals realized, including if it means playing the martyr/victim role. This Pisces aspect of martyrdom is even accentuated more today with aggressor Mars’ exact conjunction to Chiron. It is the nature of Mars to attack, as part of its survival mindset, and linked with Chiron, it is possible now that fresh wounds may be inflicted (the massacres in Libya). Transiting Mars to Chiron can also signify the need to come to terms “with prior deep wounds” from both our individual and collective past.

I mentioned in my “Mars in Pisces” blog the other day, that the very day Chiron initially entered Pisces (oil) last year, we had the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Now today a top news story is the fear of oil spiking to $120 a barrel soon. Also there’s concern about Gadhafi blowing up oil lines. The Jupiter square Pluto can also, on the shadow side, symbolically denote a “tyrant out of control,” with Jupiter leading to excess and Pluto ruling dictators.

Also, as I am writing this, the NYT.com is reporting that a British court has  just ruled WikiLeaks‘ founder, Julian Assange, must be extradited to Sweden to face allegations of sexual assault by two women there. Jupiter rules legal proceedings; Pluto rules sexual assault, as well as covert activities and spying. When Jupiter was exactly square to Pluto last year on July 25th is when Wikileaks reportedly released some 9,000 classified documents on the Afghan war, so there seems to be a Jupiter-Pluto and Assange tie here going on. Again, Jupiter-Pluto is exact to the dot tomorrow (at 3:41 pm EST) and this aspect has essentially been applying in influence for the last couple weeks or so. Assange and his legal team reportedly have seven days to appeal the court’s ruling today.

I could write much more now about the planets, as there is so much going on, including the Mars-Saturn 135-degree aspect which means like, what the late Rodney Dangerfield used to say, “we may get very little respect today,” from higher-ups and partners. But, due to my throbbing foot, I’m going to have to cut it short. Too, we need to remember that, while we cannot always control what happens to us, we can control our reaction to it. We do have free will. I am going to keep reminding myself of this handy little fact as I try to soothe my achy foot. Also, despite everything going on, many of us do still have much to be thankful for. It is part of the “Pisces” experience to sometimes expose us to pain and suffering in a bid to make us more compassionate and caring with others. We realize how vulnerable we all are living on the earth plane. But, too, we must never give up hope and faith in a brighter day. Pisces is, after all, our “link to the Divine.” And, the sign of miracles.

“A gentle word, a kind look, a good-natured smile can work wonders and accomplish miracles.” William Hazlitt

Patricia’s Astrology January 18, 2011: “What’s Lurking Down Below?” Horoscope

“A moment’s insight is sometimes worth a life’s experience.” Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

COSMIC WEATHER:

Moon continues in, “I always have food on my mind” Cancer. A cosmic cue to keep our little fannies scurrying around the kitchen. Keep in mind, too, that we have a Full Moon in emotional Cancer tomorrow. If we’re already feeling a little “teary-eyed,” it’s because of this factor.

Additionally, we have the third and final conjunction of intellectual Mercury with, “Let me take you down, way down” Pluto in “professionally-attired” Capricorn. (The earlier two Mercury-Pluto meet-ups occurred in December 2010.)

With Mercury conjunct perceptive Pluto we journey deep within our interior corridors, looking for answers to our troubled or shady past. Pluto is the guardian of our mysterious subconscious, and aligned with curious Mercury, some of our submerged or hidden contents may suddenly rise to the surface for a thorough and final inspection. This is an excellent time for arriving at mental breakthroughs pertaining to our past. We’re capable of “piercing insights” when we dig deep now. Our communications can also be more riveting and intense.

We’re also probing externally for the possibility of finding any hastily discarded lottery tickets that could be winners. Some of us, too, may be grappling with thoughts of disrobing, while we’re probing, since Mercury-Pluto can also be a little kinky. Of course, with the Moon in foodaholic Cancer, there’s a chance that the kitchen table may also be used for purposes other than setting our plates. 🙂

Last, but not least: We may want to go online and check out the current job openings at WikiLeaks. Mercury-Pluto is associated with spying, and covert operations, and with this conjunction falling in professionally-minded Capricorn, it may be a good time to submit our resume there for maximum impact. We may also want to underscore in it, the fact, that we have big connections at Kohl’s, in the coat department, which affords us generous discounts on all the latest trench coat fashions. A compelling reality that may sway Julian Assange to bring us aboard. Furthermore, we are even privy to Hillary Clinton‘s coat size, a matter that is closely-guarded by American embassies everywhere.

Sun Conjunct Pluto: Julian Assange Inks Book Deal

“I’ve always wanted to be a spy, and frankly I’m a little surprised that British intelligence has never approached me.” Elizabeth Hurley

WikiLeaks’ founder, Julian Assange, has reportedly inked a lucrative 1.3 million dollar book deal with a division of Random House.  News of the deal came with the transiting Sun exactly conjunct Pluto in achievement Capricorn. Pluto symbolizes all that is buried or hidden, and is historically associated with covert operations, such as spying and espionage. When Pluto’s ray is activated, we tend to find out big, juicy secrets, and spies, and others who deal with the surreptitious gathering and or releasing of information, often grab the news headlines of the day.

Also, when Assange was arrested in London on December 7th, stemming from accusations of sexual misconduct by two women in Sweden, Pluto was exactly conjunct the Capricorn Ascendant in the arrest “event chart.”

What we want to know is: Will WikiLeaks be leaking Assange’s manuscript? 🙂

Celeb Assange is presently out on bail and reportedly holed up in some mansion near London. He publicly stated on Sunday that he agreed to the book deal to help defray the cost of his ever-mounting legal bills, and to also keep WikiLeaks’ website afloat.

Earlier, the site’s previous spokesman also landed a big book deal. Daniel Domscheit-Berg’s book, Inside WikiLeaks: My Time With Julian Assange at the World’s Most Dangerous Website, will be out in February. He is also planning on launching a new venue for leaking classified info called Openleaks early next year. Much to Pluto’s delight.

Here is also a link to astrologer Julie Demboski’s blog. She wrote about Sun-Pluto on Dec. 26th. http://juliedemboski.wordpress.com/

“We are never deceived. We deceive ourselves.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Cosmic Word Of The Day: Charade

(Mars semi-square Neptune)

Charade: 1) a blatant pretense or deception esp. something so full of pretense as to be a travesty

Cosmic Weather:

Moon is in “smothering love” Cancer all day.  There’s an increased tendency to choke and turn blue whenever we’re around members of the opposite sex.

We’re also awash with nebulous Mars-Neptune (8:58 pm EST). A tricky dicky, “masquerade ball” of a day. Pants are on fire with lies. Things are a charade. Deception knows no bounds. Believe nobody. This even extends to St. Nick and St. Julian Assange.

Golly gee! The crystal ball also looks like a big green blob!

Things are even much worse than originally perceived.  All “code red” rules apply, until further notice. Especially the ones pertaining to dating muscular, snake oil salesmen. 🙂

Lunar Eclipse December 21, 2010 Full Moon in Gemini Astrology

“A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimension.” Oliver Wendell Holmes

Lordy, lordy! Look up in the sky! What is that coppery red, circular blob up there glowing in the heavens? Is it some kind of mysterious drunken bird with bloodshot eyes? Is it a space station from the planet Mars? Or did maybe Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer suffer some sort of painful nose detachment in a test run for the big event this weekend?

It could be that all of these lunatic interpretations are wrong, and what we are really looking at is the “Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse” on December 21, 2010 (3:14 am EST) at 29 degrees of motor mouth Gemini, which is also occurring on the same day as the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year.  Something that hasn’t happened together for 456 years, according to NASA.

The winter solstice is symbolically viewed as a transforming rebirth of the life-giving Sun, going from dark to light (shorter to longer days). While the full moon brings things to “full illumination and fruition,” with eclipses tending to magnify the impact of the typical full moon energy.

The coupling of these two, awe-inspiring, celestial events could be spiritually transforming for us, too, if we choose this rare time for prayer and meditation, and for going within. We are symbolically moving from an “unenlightened state” to a “state of enlightenment.” The lights of our consciousness are being “turned back on,” we are becoming more empowered, and can theoretically now “more clearly see our path.” A powerful time to set our intentions for the new year.

On another, more mundane level, however, this big, regenerating sky event, will also likely ratchet up all of our light bills significantly at the end of the month, causing many of us to flip our switches! We know how nothing is free anymore. Too, look for the stars to twinkle less in the coming year, as control freak Pluto in tightwad Capricorn imposes strict new energy efficiency standards on their output. 🙂

There is even a possibility that we may have to launch Saint Julian Assange and all of his holy WikiLeaks crew into outer space to investigate further, this matter of the dimming celestial lights. Early rumor has it that Michael Moore is also willing to foot the bill for the trip, if he can later make a twilight zone documentary of the whole thing starring Hillary Clinton.

It could be, too, that this Lunar Eclipse is really a hoax that the White House is clandestinely staging to divert our attention. We live in such a wicked world nowadays, we can never take anything at face value anymore. Until recently, there was virtually zero transparency. That is, until WikiLeaks gallantly came along. But then again, we may also want to question the motivation behind that glittery empire. Things are not always as they appear.  So much is a sham. A masquerade. Would not be surprised if Assange is really an alien creature from another galaxy, checking the temperature and pulse of things on earth before spearheading a complete takeover of the planet in 2012 by hackers with no teeth.

Even the face of the Moon, seems to be sporting an escalating, and very suspicious looking case of acne now, with this Lunar Eclipse. Just look at those red pock marks on her.  They’re everywhere! Probably due, in large part, to a female hormonal imbalance, spawned by menopause. The curse of the female DNA!

But, then again, it could just be that the marks are fake, and actually an orchestrated disguise. A stealthily paid for advertisement to get us thinking about pimple cream and our complexions. What ever happened to the good ole’ days and simply making love by the silvery Moon in our ’57 Chevy? No pressure of multi-tasking. No subversive messages about zits impinging upon our tender brains. We only had a few knobs to reach for, a few buttons to push. Lassie the collie dog roamed, but always came home at night with angelic Timmy. June Lockhart was there to make dinner and read us a bedtime story, and to tuck us in.

In all due seriousness (but can we even be serious with a devilishly lighthearted Gemini Moon?), this rare lunar event may be when we want to take full ownership, a full accounting, of our myriad thoughts and ideas, which are symbolically ruled by dictionary-minded Gemini, the designator of our humble conscious awareness and the sign of communication and speech. Attempt to gain a “full moon awareness and illumination” of all of the stuff and information that we endlessly pile away in our plush little heads, while going about the course of our soulful daily lives. Especially since the Eclipse is taking place at 29 degrees of Gemini, the very last degree of the sign, when we could all very well be “at the end of our ropes,” with respect to suffering all the stressful symptoms from an “over-crammed head,” which can often make it much more difficult to swallow, or to even blink our eyes. We know we will be completely finished off when we can no longer move our lips – instant death for a chatty Gemini Moon! Perish the thought.

Some suggested things to ask ourselves now: Why do we choose to feed our heads the way that we do? Is the mental diet that we are adhering to, meeting our daily intellectual needs as set up by the government? Are we happy with the general landscape of our mind? Or do we live in fear and trepidation at the prospect of getting lost in our thoughts because they are plum too bewildering and creepy? Especially the one about Sarah Palin becoming President, with Bristol Palin as Vice-President.

Another immediate case in point: Reading this blog right now. It may very well be that we need to be more discriminating about what we give our attention to in the future. Do we we even know why we are choosing to read about astrology? What need are we trying to fill? Are we just needing to believe in fairy-tales? Or, are we on to something much bigger, that many still don’t know about?

Too, why am I spending my present time writing about the faraway Moon when I may be better off vacuuming? Or combing my hair. Or learning how to play the piano like Elton John. Why do we choose to talk or write about the things that we do? Are we even aware, most of the time, of what we are emitting through our speech and communication? Including awareness of the impact of the specific words we choose to use?  Would we maybe be better off communicating with fewer words, or using different words? Too, maybe we should all start whispering, especially those of us with high-pitched, shrill voices. Could be, too, that we should choose total silence, as our preferred state of being, instead of being incessantly steeped in chatter. Spend more time meditating and listening to the supposed wisdom of that still small voice within ourselves. How good a listener are we, anyway? Another weighty thing to ponder about now with the lunar eclipse here in the sign of communication: Our listening skills.

What is especially notable about this powerful eclipse today is that it is square to the Jupiter and Uranus conjunction in imaginative Pisces. Jupiter-Uranus can denote flashes of genius and extraordinary insight. It can also make us think way outside of the box. This is because rebel Uranus is an innovator, and often acts as a potent catalyst for change, particularly sudden changes that dramatically alter the playing field. Expander Jupiter generously helps to fuel the Uranian mission. Of course, Uranus also excels in spreading revolution, and or general mayhem.

Interestingly here, too, at the moment that I am writing this blog (Sat. Dec 18), with the politically-minded Sagittarius Sun exactly square to Uranus, as well as to the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” bill has just cleared its last procedural hurdle in the Senate, and is now reportedly slated to be voted on the floor of the full Senate on Monday, the eve of this Total Lunar Eclipse.  Uranus is associated with equality, and normally figures prominently into gay rights issues. It could be that the “changing our ideas” Gemini Eclipse Moon (or at least recalibrating our thinking) finally triggers the repeal of DADT. It certainly appears to be looking that way now.

Senator Joe Lieberman, the lead sponsor of the DADT repeal bill, originally presented the bill when Uranus was prominent in the sky. I earlier wrote a blog on this subject. Pisces, too, is the sign that is associated with the downtrodden, the disenfranchised, and minority groups.

Additionally Mental Mercury (ruler of Gemini) is retrograding back into conviction-minded Sagittarius and is again forming a square to Jupiter-Uranus. Extra progressive icing on the holiday Senatorial cake. Of course, not everyone is in agreement about repealing DADT. And, Uranus is also probably reveling in the cacophony of opinion and the clash of philosophical differences. In the end, though, Uranus, the liberator that he is, will probably rest on the side of civil rights.

Historically, this Jupiter-Uranus conjunction has correlated with rapid breakthroughs in science and technology as well (Uranus rules these two areas). Neil Armstrong and “Buzz Aldrin” even landed in the Sea of Tranquility and became the first humans to walk the Moon with this aspect. So, there is really no telling where we can rocket to now in our minds, if we choose to, with this spectacular convergence of celestial energies. In the end, it’s all a matter of how we fuel our thoughts. Do we sufficiently fill their tanks? Or do we neglect them, and let them run on empty? Also, we may need to consciously empty our minds now of thoughts and beliefs that we have outgrown, that are only serving to keep a stranglehold on our further understanding and awareness, and keeping us from spectacularly landing and walking on our own personal Moons.

“I want to know God’s thoughts; the rest are details.” Albert Einstein

News Update 12/18: With the Sun in zealous Sagittarius exactly square equality-ruling Uranus (and square expansive Jupiter), and sextile “let’s all peacefully co-exist” Neptune, in humanitarian Aquarius, the U.S.  Senate has historically gone ahead and voted today to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” by a vote of 65 to 31.

It appears that the square to sudden-acting, unpredictable Uranus really forced this issue today, something Uranus characteristically does. It forces changes, perhaps even more so now since it is aligned with the over-expander Jupiter, forcing the Senate to take “a giant leap” for the collective.

Too, we still have warrior Mars, ruling the military, in a separating conjunction with the Godfather of Transformation, Pluto, in governmental Capricorn. Mars and Pluto also rule sex, and issues of sexuality.

Also with Mars-Pluto, a new, powerful tax bill was successfully passed this past week, with Pluto additionally ruling taxes. With Pluto, we tend to pare down, and now it looks like with this new tax bill, there will be a big paring down of services that the U.S. government will be offering its citizenry. On the other hand, perhaps the reduction in taxes, will spur economic growth.  That is apparently the hope.

The Senate meanwhile, has now sent the DADT repeal bill to President Obama to sign. Obama  had campaigned on ending the DADT policy, which banned gays and lesbians from openly serving in the military. So we had a very historic day today, especially fascinating, too, from an astrological perspective.  Could be that this Total Lunar Eclipse and Winter Solstice also bring about more big Uranian changes for the collective, the energies of these two events already starting to crescendo.  The Senate is also suppose to continue with a discussion of START on Monday, another heavyweight issue that could impact the whole planet.

WikiLeaks Founder Gets Bail With Aries Moon Square Pluto

14 Tuesday Dec 2010

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.

“I was obliged to be industrious.  Whoever is equally industrious will succeed equally well.” Johannes Sebastian Bach


The fiery red planet Mars, signifying energy in the physical body, enters ambitious Capricorn today (6:49 pm EST), the sign of its exaltation, where it will stay until January 15, 2011.

Mars, which additionally governs the aggressive urge, is “tamed” or more “restrained,” when in Saturn’s neck of the woods.  Disciplinarian Saturn rules Capricorn, a sign associated with authority, business, and people in high places. Keywords for Capricorn are: “I use.” Mars in Capricorn is hugely talented at utilizing all of the resources at its disposal to get ahead.  Mars in Capricorn can be very “pioneering” and “enterprising” in business.  It is often a signature of an “executive.”

And, yes, on the shadow side, Capricorn energy can be equated with being “manipulative” or orchestrating situations to get an “unfair advantage” from time to time. No question about it, Capricorn does like its power, and the feeling of power, and doesn’t like being without it. So that is one thing we have to be careful about with Mars here.  That we don’t ride roughshod over others in our quest to get, or keep, our high-profile seat in the boardroom. Although, Mars in Capricorn characteristically tends to be pretty cautious, and will generally refrain from engaging in certain behaviors or improprieties out of fear of adverse consequences in the future. It tends to “naturally check” its own behavior, in other words, perhaps as part of its strong survival instinct.

On a collective level, Capricorn is also linked with government. And, even though assertive Mars is “more controlled” in Capricorn, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it is not interested in “spreading its sphere of influence” or “growing its dominance” in the world. It may be that a few governments around the world try to aggressively vie for more power now, but in a very strategic, well-thought out way, with Mars, again, ruling the need for assertion.

Last time Mars entered Capricorn on December 27, 2008, was exactly the same day that Israel reportedly initiated “Operation Cast Lead” in the Gaza Strip, after launching an extensive wave of airstrikes. Mars in Capricorn can denote a capable strategist or war general, whereas Mars in impulsive Sagittarius can sometimes symbolize a warrior zealously going off “half-cocked,” in search of the truth, without bothering to do the necessary due diligence, in advance, to ensure victory.

Too, we may want to pay closer attention to the world news with Mars’ pending conjunction with tyrannical Pluto, which will be exact on December 13th and 14th, although, for practical purposes, this influence is already starting to apply. Governments could get very aggressive in wanting to wield more power with this aspect. Capricorn is very concerned with self- preservation and security issues.

Also, we have the matter of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks front and center on the world stage, with Pluto ruling leaks and spying and espionage. Many governments, especially the U.S., are now grappling with serious intelligence issues and defense concerns (Pluto), in wake of all these cable leaks, and they may want to take some kind of swift action (Mars) as a result. Or, at least plot new strategies to deal with this emerging Plutonian-themed problem.

Pluto conjunct the North Node in Capricorn has correlated with an historic exposing of confidential government information, with aggressor Mars in fanatical Sagittarius square blabbermouth Jupiter, acting as the trigger point for it. What do they say, “Loose lips sink ships.” Have to wonder about the long-term implications of this WikiLeaks breach, and whether there may be new developments with the matter with Mars conjunct suspense-ruling Pluto, which loves to bulldoze and plunder.

Getting back now to a more personal level: With Mars in “reputation is so vitally important to me” Capricorn, we are wanting to put our energies effectively to use, in a practical way, so as to deliver more prestige and status to ourselves. We are inclined to believe that these two things will be natural byproducts, if we but apply ourselves and put our nose to the grindstone, and also, of course, hobnob around with important “movers and shakers.”

It could be, too, that we will want to become more involved in business networking efforts now, with Capricorn officially ruling “big business.” Especially with a new year on the way and its characteristic “new ambition.” Of course, Mercury retrograde (Dec. 10 thru the 30th) could impede or complicate some of our Mars in Capricorn ambitions to get ahead here, in the short-term, but Mars will still be in Capricorn for a couple weeks after Mercury stations direct, giving us lots of time to progress. Too, a lot of times with Mercury retrograde, we can still have great success in matters, we  just need to pay more attention to detail and following up on the execution of matters.

NEWS UPDATE 12/8/10: It was reported today that sympathetic supporters of WikiLeaks launched cyber attacks into MasterCard and Visa, and various other sites today as part of “Operation Payback.” I was thinking tonight that warrior Mars’ movement into Capricorn is sort of playing out here, initially anyway, as “war on big business,” as Capricorn rules business. It’s always very interesting to watch the events in the collective when Mars enters a new sign, as energizer Mars is such a catalyst for things to happen.

Mercury Conjunct Pluto in Capricorn: Julian Assange Arrested

WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, was reportedly arrested by British Police in London today at 9:30 am on a warrant issued by Swedish authorities. Assange is wanted for allegedly committing sex crimes with two women, which he denies. Assange is slated to appear before a magistrate’s court in London later today. It should also be noted that Assange has not formally be charged with anything. He also voluntarily turned himself into authorities today.

Fascinatingly, and ironically, Assange, who is responsible for leaking hundreds of diplomatic U.S. cables just last week, was busted with a 5 degree Capricorn rising “event horoscope” (erected for 9:30 am in London today), which puts the North Node, Mercury, Pluto, and the Moon all exactly conjunct the rising.

I always affectionately label Pluto as the “Grand Master Spy,” as Pluto tends to deliver to us dark, foreboding secrets. Whatever has been buried or submerged is brought to the surface with Pluto i.e. classified information or documents, or people who have “been in hiding.”

Historically, Pluto is linked with spies and espionage.  Also, terrorism or any “hidden factions” that use force. Pluto seems to operate more as a “control freak” or “power monger.” It is very fanatical and obsessed in its focus. It’s wanting to “call the shots” at all cost. What is often revealed through “purging” Pluto usually has “life-altering” or “transforming” ramifications for people and circumstances, and even the world at large.  Pluto rules “the masses.” Also, death, destruction, and rebirth.

Mercury rules news and communication and when aligned with Pluto, we classically hear about “Pluto” issues in the news: death, annihilation, crisis or turning point situations, sex, spying and espionage, captures, manipulation, abuses of power, history-making firsts or breakthroughs. Too, Mercury-Pluto topics can sometimes be characterized as those areas that are more historically “taboo” or “off-limits” to openly speak about, due to their more sensitive nature, like issues of sex or death.

The first house or ascendant in a horoscope deals with “new beginnings” and the immediate issues that are before us on the horizon. So having all these bodies: Moon, Mercury, North Node and Pluto, conjoined the ascendant, at the exact time of Assange’s arrest today, further brought these “undercover” or “spy” matters front and center (nature of Pluto) in our consciousness and instantly playing out in the news worldwide (Mercury-Pluto).

Symbolically, that cosmic line-up could be interpreted as “someone who makes his living exposing secrets” is making news at the moment (ascendant).  Too, Pluto is implicated in sex crimes, or situations in which sex is “forced.”

Scorpio, which is the offical sign of sex, a sign that Pluto also rules, is at the very top of this event chart, or on the tenth house cusp, with “love Goddess” Venus, ruling women, in a wide conjunction with the tenth.

Interestingly, relationship Venus is also moving into an exact sextile to Pluto now in the heavens.  Venus-Pluto can indicate “passionate” or “steamy” romance. Also, Venus-Pluto can often be symbolic of a relationship that contains “manipulative” aspects to it, once again due to the “controlling” nature of Pluto.

On another fascinating level, with this Venus-Pluto aspect manifesting now, and Assange’s alleged tryst with these two women simultaneously crescendoing to the forefront, Venus-Pluto is symbolically having the net affect of putting “sex” and “matters of the heart” center stage for the collective to mull over and perhaps talk about. Very interesting from an astrological lens.
