Cosmic Weather:

“If you put yourself in a position where you have to stretch outside your comfort zone, then you are forced to expand your consciousness.” – Les Brown

Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system – and more than twice as big as all the other planets combined – makes its grand re-entry into fiery Aries the Ram this morning (9:32 am), where it will remain until May 16, 2023. Earlier this year, on May 10th, Jupiter first entered Aries, then stationed retrograde on July 28th, and ingressed back into Pisces on October 28th. Projects that we began back in May, that were then put on the back burner during the retrograde phase, are now ready to be resumed, possibly with greater definition or form to them as a result of the reflective Rx period. Too, if maybe we were a little late to the game in May and missed the first Jupiter in Aries rollout, we have a second chance now to maybe hit one out of the park.

Just like its physical size, Jupiter tends to operate in more of a gargantuan – or as a former US president might say – a bigly fashion. It can push us to our limits – and beyond – especially when it is given free rein in Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, associated with pioneering, self-assertion, and personal new beginnings. Jupiter in Aries is thought to be an excellent time to focus on matters that add to our self-discovery, elevate courage or bravery, and contribute to our sense that we are making a positive difference in the world. We will also want to make sure that we remain very focused on our vision and what we are trying to accomplish during this time. Some shadow-side manifestations of Jupiter in Aries include trying to do too much, going to excess, being too self-righteous or arrogant, and becoming too aggressive.

On This Day in History: On December 20, 1860, South Carolina became the first state to secede from the Union as all 169 delegates to a special convention in Charleston voted in favor of separation. South Carolina wanted to withdraw from the US because Abraham Lincoln, a member of the new Republican party, had just been elected president, and wanted to stop slavery from spreading into western territories. South Carolina lawmakers, meanwhile, were concerned that any interference with slavery would end their way of life. They also believed they had a constitutional right to take property – including slaves – anywhere. (manythings.org)

Astrologically, that day, among the notable aspects, was an exact square between Saturn in Virgo and Uranus in Gemini, which were both at 9 degrees of their respective signs. The square between these two bodies is often associated with experiencing a great deal of tension or pressure as the desire to maintain the status quo (Saturn) is seemingly seriously threatened by radical change (Uranus), which can then lead to taking unprecedented actions. Decision-maker Mercury, in ideologically-oriented Sagittarius, was also at 8 degrees then and applying to an exact square to Saturn and opposition to Uranus (creating a mutable T-square in the sky); Mercury square Saturn can find us making decisions based on fear, while Mercury opposing Uranus can propel us to act more boldly or precipitously.

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

“It is easier to live life through someone else than to become complete yourself.” – Betty Friedan

COSMIC WEATHER:

The industrious, capable Capricorn Moon seems to sagely be advising us to invest in ourselves. To grow our abilities. Perfect our skills. So that we may make a worthwhile contribution to the collective, while also mastering the art of self-reliance.

Too, with Luna’s square to withholding Saturn (5:40 pm) it could be that we may have to be our own cheering section today.

Also, the powerful Sun and warrior Mars continue their tight conjunction in change-oriented Aquarius, an invigorating, but more potentially volatile aspect that has been around for several days; this aspect will be exact on Friday.

This influence tends to fire us up. Makes us possibly more predisposed to restructuring or altering our world (Aquarius). We are perhaps much more amenable to trying out new methods and procedures, even though we still have planets and the Moon in traditionalist Capricorn.

Expansive Jupiter is also now in Mars-ruled Aries. It will be there for the next few months. Jupiter in Aries can be personally liberating for many of us, in that it can endow us with a greater sense of self-confidence (Aries) and less fear, resulting in personal growth and the seizing of new opportunities.

Saturn Retrograde in Libra January 26, 2011 to June 12, 2011

“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to reach my destination.” Jimmy Dean

Saturn, the taskmaster planet, who seemingly takes it upon himself to provide us with a reality check, whether we want it or not, turns retrograde in relationship Libra on January 26th (1:11 am EST) at 17 degrees. It will go direct again in mid-June at 9 degrees of Libra. It originally entered Libra in the fall of 2009, then retrograded out of it for a while.

Basically, we review or revisit matters during retrograde periods and attend to unfinished business. Since Saturn denotes our goals, with the retrograde wrinkle, we are re-assessing them, reconfiguring our strategies to get ahead.

Saturn also represents our resolve, hard work, self-discipline, and determination. With Saturn retrograde in Libra, the sign of the other, we are potentially eyeing and re-evaluating our long-term relationships, the next few months; in some cases, we may be firming them up. In other instances, there may be break-ups, or a parting of the ways.

Overall, Saturn in Libra is a period when we tend to realize our goals by working more in conjunction or collaboration with others. We also become more aware of how we get along with others, in general, on a one-to-one basis, as well as developing a greater awareness about what our relationships mean to us, and the corresponding work that they entail.  Saturn stays in Libra until October of 2012.

Also, when Saturn first stations retrograde, and for a few days afterwards, our affairs often seem to come to a crawl or a standstill. This slowing down period may seem especially frustrating to us now, as expansive, optimistic Jupiter just moved into adventurous Aries and is ready to roll.

Additionally, mental Mercury is forming a tense square to Saturn, when it goes retrograde, which could result in misunderstandings or communication snafus. We may want to be more patient in our dialogue with others now and perhaps take more time to listen to what is being said.

Also, it’s a time when we are well-served not to make too many assumptions, or to rashly pass judgment. With Mercury-Saturn, we sometimes tend to expect the worst, and our focus can be too narrow.

Of course, we will also want to take note of the particular house in our birth chart that Saturn is stationing retrograde in, for more insight on how this retro period may personally play out for us. For instance, if we have Saturn transiting through our second house of money, relationships involving money or possessions, may be most impacted. We may also be re-thinking our financial strategies. In the tenth house, our career relationships would be emphasized. We may also be re-evaluating, tinkering with our professional goals. And so forth.

Interestingly, Saturn is stationing retrograde exactly conjunct Oprah Winfrey’s tenth house of career, at 17 degrees of Libra now, as she gets ready to wrap up her daily television show this season, as well as continue with the fresh launch of her own television network (OWN). Saturn will cross back over into Oprah’s career house, in September of 2011, and will be exactly conjunct that house again, when she signs off her daily talk show for good, on September 9th.

Transiting Saturn on the tenth house often potentially coincides with professional endings, as well as sometimes powerful new beginnings built upon our prior experience. It can also denote the height of achievement of a person’s life, in terms of notable success in the outer world which is Saturn-ruled.

“Sometimes two people need to step apart and make a space between that each may see the other anew, in a glance across a room, or silhouetted against the Moon.” Robert Brault.

Jupiter in Aries January 22, 2011 to June 4, 2011 Astrology Horoscope

“Once an organization loses its spirit of pioneering and rests on its early work, its progress stops.” Thomas J. Watson Sr.

The “big planet on the block” Jupiter, bolts back into fiery “Aries the Ram,” the first sign of the zodiac, on January 22nd, where it will take up residency until June 4th. (Jupiter was briefly in this sign earlier, from June 6th – Sept. 8th, 2010.)

Jupiter signifies the “expansive urge.” He represents knowledge, opportunities, abundance, higher education. He also rules publishing, travel abroad, foreign cultures, advertising and promotion. He’s the welcome “luck factor” in our lives. When Jupiter’s nestled into “trailblazing” Aries, which is ruled by masculine Mars, we are eager for “new beginnings.” Especially in partaking in “solo flights” on our own, in keeping with the pioneering, “self-discovery” aspect of this sign.

With Jupiter in Aries, we have marvelous ability to re-invent ourselves and we thrive at the prospect of competition, and making it first to the finish line. Aries is the zodiacal sign that rules sports and athletics. Whereas Jupiter in Pisces was about “merging” and the “dissolution of boundaries,” Jupiter in Aries denotes more of a separatist, “me-first” mentality. There is much more enthusiasm and self-confidence to us, with this placement, and consequently that is part of the reason why new doors can open up for us now. Also, in March, “liberator” Uranus will be moving back into Aries where it will stay for the next seven years, which will further add to our ability to thrive and survive on our own, and be self-sufficient

With Jupiter in Aries (also Uranus), we will likely see a proliferation of entrepreneurship, fueled by a strong desire to “do things on our own.” Too, the challenging economy will continue to have impact here with this. There will also likely be growth or expansion in the military. Individuals may even feel more of a need to “protect” or “arm” themselves, with groups of individuals forming their own militia. Again, the “warrior” Mars influence at play. With Jupiter also ruling publishing, it is very likely that “self-publishing” efforts will continue to grow and flourish, perhaps even more “blogging” by businesses being done as a way to attract new customers.

To further discern Jupiter’s impact in our own personal horoscopes, we will want to see what house in our chart Jupiter is transiting, as an indication of what area in our life may be poised for “new starts.”

The “shadow side” to Jupiter in Aries can correlate with a “lack of focus.” For example, it’s very easy for us, in our Aries’ eagerness, to take on too many projects and, as a result, have a difficult time bringing matters to a successful, timely conclusion. Also, we can act too hastily or be impulsive. Or, be “too full of ourselves” and not consider others’ positions.

Famous persons with Jupiter in Aries: Christian Dior, Pearl Buck, Conan O’Brien, Brad Pitt.

Astrology: I Love Lucy Debuts With Venus Conjunct Mars

14 Thursday Oct 2010

On October 15, 1951, I Love Lucy, starring Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, William Frawley, and Vivian Vance, debuted on CBS-TV. I Love Lucy, an American comedy sitcom that centered around the lives of two married couples, aired for six seasons.  For most of its run, it was the most popular TV show in America, and it is still in syndication around the world.

When the show premiered, the Energizing Sun, Communicator Mercury and Fantasy Neptune were all conjunct in Marital Libra and also sextile to transforming Pluto in Leo, the sign of entertainment. A fourth planet, Stabilizer Saturn, was also in Libra, and exactly opposite Expansive Jupiter in Pioneering Aries.

With such a prevalence of planets in Libra, the timing was natural to launch a fictional TV show (Neptune) about married couples. The sextile aspect to Pluto also helped to give the show unique, mass appeal (which Pluto rules) and also made it something that could potentially deeply impact the viewers – perhaps holding a mirror to their own marriages (Pluto’s ray tends to spawn deep insight). Pluto is also associated with “historic firsts” and the show helped to establish many precedents in television entertainment.

Also, for the I Love Lucy launch, the Love Duo of Venus and Mars, were tightly conjunct in Virgo, a sign with a penchant to please. (Even though Lucy was always “rocking the boat” at home, with her humorous, often oddball antics, she was also very anxious, in the end, to placate hubby Ricky.  The same was true for Ethel wanting to please Fred. I always dearly loved Ethel, didn’t you?  She seemed like a perfect “best friend” to have. The kind of friend who would never let you down. Ethel had simple charm and was deeply sympathetic. Nothing inauthentic about her. Fred was also a nice, low-key guy. They may a good pair. Both were perfect complements to the much more animated Ricky and Lucy.)

When Venus, ruling our power of attraction, is conjoined Mars, it not only tends to make us more attractive to the opposite sex, it also puts the topic of romance front and center on the table. I Love Lucy took it all one step further and brought the topic directly into our living rooms. It was a “big thing” during that time era.

Additionally, the Mercury conjunction to Imaginative Neptune, with Mental Mercury ruling writing, is also an extremely creative aspect for generating mesmerizing, “make believe” story lines.  This is a classic “storyteller aspect.” Neptune also rules acting and all the characters in the show did a superb job in that department as well. The I Love Lucy episode below, when Lucy and Ethel both got jobs at a chocolate factory, is one of my all-time favorites. It’s still funny, no matter how many times you see it.
