Cosmic Weather:

“A man’s mind is stretched by a new idea or sensation, and never shrinks back to its former dimensions.” Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.

Intellectual Mercury (governing our reasoning abilities, logic, and communication) enters “progressive” Aquarius today (at 1:31 pm), the sign of its exaltation. Hopefully, this bodes well for our humble mental faculties, in the weeks ahead. Mercury in Aquarius (a sign associated with equality, change, and innovation) is synonymous with a strong desire for learning and knowledge, embracing new ideas, pondering more abstract matters or things of a more technical nature. In communication with others now, we’re also possibly more at home in the Devil’s Advocate role. Mercury will remain in Aquarius until February 3rd; however, due to an upcoming retrograde cycle, Mercury will also re-enter Aquarius, the first half of March, for a period of a few days.

The waning Moon is also in “harmony-seeking” Libra, all day. It’s also having a lopsided meet up with “ambiguous” Neptune in “master-of-disguise” Pisces, early this afternoon (Moon quinqunx Neptune at 2:36 pm), so it may be a little challenging for us to know how to get a firm grip on what’s really going on around us now. Kind of a like we’re a guest or participant at a lavish Masquerade Ball.

*All times EST.

Tarot Card For The Day: The Page of Swords, which cautions us not to jump to conclusions or to act too rashly.

Numerology For January 16: As we move into the second half of January, we’re sort of at a natural reflection point now, perhaps wanting to assess the impact, to date, of many of our ambitious “power moves” that we have so far undertaken during the first two weeks of a brand new year. The number 16 (which reduces down to the number 7) suggests that it’s time now for temporarily copping a more philosophical or spiritual orientation to our affairs. The number 7 archetypally represents “The Mystic.”

Born On This Day: English model and businesswoman Kate Moss, who’s turning 46. Moss is quoted as saying: Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.

Hope it’s a good one!

Today’s Astrology May 21, 2019: Sun and Mercury Enter Gemini

Cosmic Weather:

“When the trust account is high, communication is easy, instant, and effective.” Stephen R. Covey

Both the Sun (will) and Mercury (thinking) leave slow-moving, plodding Taurus, this morning, and enter breezy, cerebral Gemini, the communication sign, and the sign of the Twins. This sign is also ruled by Mercury so the ‘Winged Messenger’ feels right at home here.

For the next few weeks, with the Sun and Mercury in Gemini, we get to passionately, and independently, channel our inner reporter and astutely relay all the news/gossip/goings-on in our neck of the woods – whether it’s fit to print or not! 🙂

Gemini relishes making observations, drawing comparisons, taking notes, gathering/imparting/receiving information. It’s very social energy, yet emotionally detached, at the same time, which might be a very good thing now since assertive Mars is moving through feelings-oriented, reactive Cancer. The Gemini vibe here sort of balancing out the Cancer moodiness, self-protectiveness. Too, with both the Sun and Mercury deposited in articulate Gemini, there’s a better chance for us to be able to outwardly voice/write/express what’s going on inside of us, on an emotional level.

Meanwhile, Gemini also rules transportation and travel (especially trips of shorter duration), so we may find ourselves being a lot more mobile, over the next month or so. It might also be a time when we may think about getting a new car or be attending to vehicle-related matters.

Additionally today, the Sun and Mercury are in superior conjunction at 0 degrees of Gemini (9:06 am). A superior conjunction is the equivalent, so to speak, of a Full Moon, which means there’s an increased likelihood that we could experience sudden moments/flashes of greater clarity/brilliance now, including receiving answers/solutions to problems, or come across information/teachings/the right questions that greatly expand/fuel our awareness. We may also be more effective at communicating our thoughts and ideas now.

*All times EDT

Famous May 21 Birthdays: Raymond Burr, Andrei Sakharov, Al Franken, Mr. T

“Intellectual freedom is essential — freedom to obtain and distribute information, freedom for open-minded and unfearing debate and freedom from pressure by officialdom and prejudices.” Andrei Sakharov

On This Day in History: On May 21, 1881, the American Red Cross is founded by Clara Barton, a pioneering nurse and humanitarian.

The Astrology that day: The Moon was in sympathetic/empathic Pisces, the sign of self-sacrifice and service to others. There was also a stellium of five planets and Chiron in anchoring, earthy Taurus, the sign in which our intentions are made manifest, including Venus (love) and Saturn (duty and responsibility), which were exactly conjunct in Taurus at 5 degrees; Jupiter (goodwill ambassador, philanthropist) was also at 9 degrees of Taurus and exactly trining Uranus (humanitarian, innovator) in healing Virgo.

“I have an almost complete disregard of precedent and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things always have been done… I defy the tyranny of precedent. I cannot afford the luxury of a closed mind. I go for anything new that might improve the past.” Clara Barton

Hope you enjoy your Tuesday!

COSMIC WATCH:

“I am learning all the time.  The tombstone will be my diploma.” Eartha Kitt

It’s likely that we will also want to feed our heads and expand our perceptions and experiences today as intellectual Mercury conjuncts the brilliant Sun in inquiring, curious Gemini. Mercury is also sextile Uranus which helps to foster more original insights. Mercury-Uranus is a very inventive influence. It’s very good for brainstorming and tending to old problems in new ways. Our intuitive capacities may also be sharpened with this aspect. We may additionally hear things today that have the impact of helping to radically shift our perspective. This is an excellent day to learn new technology. Or to read about or discuss science and innovation.

The uninhibited Leo Moon’s sextile to sweet Venus (9:57 EDT) also adds a delightful and pleasurable quality to the morning. Very good for socializing, bonding, and artistic expression.

The Moon’s sextile to wise Saturn (2:07 pm EDT) is excellent for conferring with those persons who may serve as a mentor or teacher for us. “I was lucky that I met the right mentors and teachers at the moment.” James Levine

Famous Birthdays May 27: Henry Kissinger, Todd Bridges

Where do you think your real genius lies?

Enjoy your Sunday!

Astrology May 22, 2012: Mercury Conjuncts Jupiter

COSMIC WATCH:

Mercury conjunct philosophical Jupiter brings an expansive quality to the mind. Not only is there an abundance of enthusiasm for communication and for gathering and imparting information, but there is also more of an ability to comprehend the broader aspects of issues, commonly referred to as the “big picture” point of view.

On the flip side, we may be less interested now regarding the fine details of matters, something that we may want to be mindful of if we are doing any long-range planning.

“Caress the detail, the divine detail.” Vladimir Nabokov

This is also an excellent day to expose ourselves to the ideas and beliefs of other cultures, as not only are we potentially more tolerant of divergent viewpoints now, but we are also more eager to add new outlooks or perceptions to our intellectual toolboxes.

Too, the Sun, Moon and Venus are all deposited in curious Gemini, so the Universe really seems to be committed to nudging us along in the direction of new learning and an expanded mindset.

We may additionally want to examine our beliefs about money and wealth creation today, with the Mercury Jupiter conjunction occurring in bullish Taurus. Just exactly how might our beliefs be serving us here? How may they be hindering us? What actions might we take now to ensure our financial freedom in the future?

“The lack of money is the root of all evil.” Mark Twain

Enjoy your Tuesday!

Astrology May 21, 2011: “Chance To Deepen Ties” Venus Trine Pluto

COSMIC WATCH:

“Friendship is the golden thread that ties the heart of all the world.” John Evelyn

The empowering Sun exits “I have” Taurus and cascades into “I think” Gemini, shifting our core focus from an accumulation of things and a quest for security to an accumulation of knowledge (5:22 am EDT) and eager interaction with others. Restless Gemini is characterized by a “need to know” and also requires active participation in its environment via travel and communication. (The Sun will be in intellectual Gemini for the next month.)

Later on, we also have the Moon departing personally ambitious Capricorn for forward-thinking, detached Aquarius (10:32 pm EDT), another socially-minded air sign, like Gemini, in which attention is centered on group expression and collaborative efforts.

Goddess of love Venus, in pleasure-seeking Taurus, is additionally forming a potent, harmonious trine to passionate, renewing Pluto in Capricorn (2:01 pm EDT), potentially giving us the chance to deepen or strengthen (or heal) our relationship ties. Venus-Pluto often puts us in touch with our deepest desires (Pluto rules the subconscious) and helps to foster particularly strong emotional reactions to persons and events around us.

Often on Venus-Pluto days, we will be riveted by certain captivating stories that we hear about in the news regarding relationships and romance. Or, even Venus-ruled artists or entertainers may capture our attention in a special or singular way. Lady Gaga, for instance, racked up, I believe, 7 or 8 Grammy Awards one night, when Venus and Pluto were exactly aligned in the sky, effectively “stealing the show.”

Too, sometimes old lovers from our past, including our karmic past, appear under this same aspect. It is an influence that is linked with finding our soulmate.  (Pluto rules death and rebirth).

This same aspect also favors going treasure-hunting. I recently “fell in love” with, and ended up purchasing, a fabulous pinkish, salmon-colored, upholstered chair at a tag sale the day Venus and Pluto were exactly aligned in my horoscope (Venus rules art and other objects of beauty). As soon as I set my eyes on the chair, I was “overpowered” (Venus-Pluto) by it, and simply had to have it. Venus-Pluto is also associated with “obsession” or “intense craving.” This aspect is also excellent for personal creativity.

Enjoy your Saturday! I’ll let you know how I make out on the antiques trail!
