“Perhaps there is only one cardinal sin: impatience. Because of impatience we were driven out of Paradise, because of impatience we cannot return.”W.H. Auden
COSMIC WEATHER:
The Moon wraps up her monthly stay in dutiful Capricorn with a conjunction to communicator Mercury (11:42 am EST). An excellent aspect for serious, practical discussions. If we need to consult with professional experts for any reason, this would be a good time to do so. Later, the Moon’s sextile to intuitive Uranus (2:32 pm EST) can give us sudden insight into handling previously stalemated situations, especially on the career or business fronts.
The Moon closes out her day in non-conforming Aquarius (6:21 pm EST), sextiling benevolent Jupiter (10:12 pm EST). This aspect helps to stoke our generosity and imbues us with a sense of optimism. We may want to make travel plans, or read about other cultures at this time.
One note of caution: Impulsive Mars is forming a challenging aspect (semi-square) to unpredictable, rules breaker Uranus today. Whenever these two planets align, we are well-advised to avoid taking rash action, or acting too defiantly. Too, we still have the restless Sun-Mars conjunction in Aquarius, which can serve to accentuate this influence.

Vulnerable Luna continues in, “If I keep the faith, I know I’ll be able to levitate” Pisces.
“Look closely at my toes. Very closely. I believe that, if you do, you will already see them starting to rise majestically above the ground. Wow!!! Isn’t that the coolest thing? Imagine all the new, exciting possibilities that this fab, mystic ability opens up for us! Especially for vacuuming, and reaching those hard to get at areas near the crystal chandelier on the ceiling!” Yes, the more “spiritually-minded” Pisces Moon, always a tad bit delusional, bodes well for any weekend activities centered around prayer, meditation, and levitation (with certain restrictions).
We are also highly creative and very imaginative. Good time for music, singing, songwriting, painting, poetry, dancing, film-making, etc. We may want to unwind with more quiet, peaceful activities tonight. Too, with love goddess Venus in visionary Sagittarius, holding hands in a Buddhist temple, or romantically cuddling up together on a church pew, may be perfect ways to express our undying love and affection for each other.
The late great Elvis Presley would have been 76 years old today. Happy birthday, Elvis! We know you’re still in the building somewhere. Elvis, a hard-working Capricorn, also had his Moon in sensitive, caring Pisces in the third house of communication in his horoscope. He was adeptly able to pick up on other people’s moods and feelings. Also, of course, able to communicate and connect with others in a riveting emotional manner, especially through his music. Elvis was a very compassionate person, and very generous. Other Pisces Moon trademarks.
I’ve been working on an astrology book about Elvis, off and on, for a while now. Need to get it completed. I’m a big, big Elvis fan. Especially love all his songs from the 50s, and also the late 60s. My favorite Elvis song is “Suspicious Minds,” written by Mark James. The song was released on August 26, 1969, when lucky Jupiter was conjunct brilliant Uranus in artistic Libra, an aspect of genius. Also a configuration associated with miracles. As many know, we have that same Jupiter-Uranus conjunction now in dreamy Pisces. The very day it was exact, this past week, was the day that Ted Williams, the homeless man with a golden voice, who formerly worked as a radio announcer (an Uranus-ruled occupation), was suddenly discovered. Also that same day, a ten year old girl became the youngest person in the world to discover a supernova, while looking through a telescope with her father. (Uranus also rules astronomy.) Another miraculous event! Hope something miraculous happens to each and every one of my three, faithful blog readers today.

“Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.” Oscar Wilde
COSMIC WEATHER:
A New Moon in Refining Virgo (6:31 am EDT). We’re mastering our craft. Perfecting our skills. Some of us are also augmenting and or redefining our eyebrows. Praying to the Almighty that we will finally be able look in the mirror with a deep sense of pride and confidence, knowing that our brows are no longer going to be swallowed up incestuously by our eyes. A matter that has psychologically dogged us since birth.
We are also using our vast, prohibitionist-leaning, “Virgoan analytical ability” to attempt to decode the existential meaning of “bar codes” on packages, in a bid to psychologically satisfy, and get free drinks from, Jupiter, the newest, tipsy bartender in town, who, in an inebriated stupor, accidentally fell off an adventurous, Aries cliff, a little while ago, and landed back into the “alcohol-filled” Piscean sea, when no one was looking. Erratic Uranus is also suppose to be tending bar tonight with Jupiter but, as usual, in his typical, recalcitrant manner, he has decided not to show up for work. Didn’t even bother to call in to tell anybody that he wasn’t coming in.
Meanwhile, Love Goddess Venus is back in the dark, treacherous waters of “I want the whole frickin’ truth from you, about where you were last night, and who you were with, and I want it now!!! And nothing but the truth!!! Or, you’re sleeping alone in the shed!!! And don’t even believe for a minute that God’s going to be able help you out on this one!!! Scorpio.”
Yes. Suspicion’s back. Big time.
Event in history on this date: On September 8, 1994, MTV awards feature newlyweds Michael Jackson(Virgo) and Lisa Marie Presley (Aquarian). Relationship Venus had also just entered Mysterious Scorpio.

“Don’t cook. Don’t clean. No man will ever make love to a woman because she’s waxed the linoleum.” Joan Rivers
COSMIC WEATHER:
Moon is in Tidy Virgo during the day. The premier sign for heavy-duty vacuuming and all manner of cleaning. It’s the Moon position that many of us longingly wait for, all month, and the very best time to purge ourselves, both individually and collectively, of all forms of dirt and filth and scum that may be interfering with our, otherwise, healthy psychological functioning, on a daily basis, and muddying up and subverting the fortuitous feng shui energies around us.
Highly recommended actions with the Spotless Virgo Moon today: The disinfecting of shoe interiors with ammonia, scrubbing down the kids and politicians with Mr. Clean, and starching the pets, even the goldfish, so they will look and feel like they did when they first came out of the womb. Always with the Virgo Moon we are psychologically looking to return to our pure virginal roots before we were so disgustingly defiled and tampered with.
At 6:44 pm EDT, the Moon then switches to Matrimonial Libra, at which time, all “hell breaks loose,” on the homefront, as the Cardinal T-Cross is activated, yet again, due to the malicious, vindictive, mean-spirited mindset of the Universe, which wants to keep dumping on us.
The Relationship-Centered Libra Moon will be opposing Explosive Uranus, conjuncting Depressive, Sadistic Saturn, opposing Inebriated, Spendthrift Jupiter, and squaring Jealous, Control Freak Pluto.
After all that hullabaloo, the diabolical Universe still expects all of us to lovingly go to bed with each, and make lovey-dovey, like nothing has happened to us. Pretend that our hair is still perfectly coiffed, and that the teeth marks on our arms, but fond reminders of our deep love and affection for each other. Go figure!
“It’s a dream with a V8 engine. Ain’t nowhere else in the world where you can go from driving a truck to driving a Cadillac overnight.” Elvis Presley.
Observing the official “Elvis Week” here, August 10th-16th. Did you know that Elvis loved to play football? This is true. Elvis played the quarterback position and even after he became famous, one of his very favorite things to do was to get together with a few of his close buddies and play football with them whenever he was back home in Memphis. Elvis had Mars, ruling athletes, elevated in his horoscope, a placement that many professional athletes often have.
In The News: One more big “Venus-Pluto” story for you this week. Remember I told you earlier that the Venus-Pluto planetary influence that is separating now could even involve a “spy connection.” Well, come to find that Letitia Long became the first female director of a major US intelligence agency with Venus-Pluto exact to the dot on Monday. Ms. Long became Director of the Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
The NGA was created in 1996 and collects and analyzes overhead imagery and geo-spatial information. The agency’s motto is “Know the Earth. Shows the way.” Of course, that is the “official,” mumbo-jumbo description of the agency, but both you and I know that her real purpose as the director of that body will be to look for, hunt down, and arrest, spies from outer space. When does the government ever tell us the truth?
Anyway, I thought this story was so cool occurring under the umbrella of “Venus square Pluto,” as Venus rules “women” and Pluto rules spying and is also deposited in the governmental sign of Capricorn. Plus Venus-Pluto is part of the present, larger Cardinal T-Square, which also involves Geo-spatial Uranus residing, at the moment, in law-enforcement Aries.

Enjoy your Thursday!
Grab you a chair and sit down and observe the “spin cycle” up close. You never know, George Clooney may even stop by to do his laundry. Wouldn’t that be something?
I also wonder what kind of laundry detergent George likes to use? What do you think? Do you think he prefers the granular kind or the more flowing, sensual, liquid variety? I’ve got to believe it’s the latter, especially since he has a watery Pisces Ascendant. But, he is also a cautious Taurus. Maybe, at the end of the day, he’s more comfortable “going with the grain,” and the granular.

“If someone you love hurts you cry a river, build a bridge, and get over it.” Unknown Source
COSMIC WEATHER:
It’s Day Two of “As The Heavens Turn” starring “Desperate Housewife,” Venus in Libra and “Rich, Control Freak,” Pluto in Capricorn. Produced and directed by the Sun and Moon in “Drama Queen” Leo. With a cameo appearance by the “Cool, Understudy” Virgo Moon.
“We’re not answering the phone when they call.
If we forget that we’re not answering the phone and accidentally pick it up
We’re slamming it down as soon as we hear their “pack of lies” voice.
In fact, George Clooney could call and we may even hang up on him!
Who needs all this frickin’ heartache!
We’re over it!”
With the progression of the Emotional Moon into “Reasoning” Virgo at 7:02 pm EDT, we could finally catch a break here from all of this “high drama,” a time when “cooler heads” may prevail.
Elvis Presley made his first demo on July 18, 1953 when “Karma Lord” Saturn was exactly conjunct “Musical” Neptune in Creative Libra in the sky. Saturn was also passing through Elvis’ tenth house of career, often a time when there is a turning point in one’s career. Saturn conjunct Neptune, can symbolize, at its finest: The “manifestation (Saturn) of a dream (Neptune).”
In the News: On Monday, the Journal of Pediatrics reported on the findings of a study of 1200 girls that found that girls in the U.S. may be reaching puberty earlier, even as early as the age of seven. While doctors are unsure of the reason for this early maturation, rising obesity rates are being cited as a possible cause.
In astrology, Venus rules females and Pluto has to do with sexual development. The findings of this study came to public attention with Venus exactly square Pluto, which I thought was very interesting. With the “square” influence, there is often “movement” in matters, as squares “force issues.”

“Pure love and suspicion cannot dwell together: at the door where the latter enters, the former makes its exit.” Alexandre Dumas Pere
COSMIC WEATHER:
New Moon In “Sunny, Leadership” Leo, the sign of the proud Lion (at 11:09 pm EDT), endows us with more of a sense of our own personal power and authority. We are feeling more self-confident and magnanimous, as well as self-expressive and creative.
New Moons symbolize new beginnings and, correspondingly, they are times when we want to go ahead and set our new intentions for the month. So for the next two weeks, while the Exuberant Leo Moon is in its energetic waxing phase, we should be busy initiating new projects that utilize and showcase our shining, Leonine leadership abilities, as well as display our special, unique talents and gifts.
Glamorous Leo also likes to party hearty and entertain. Get those invitations to local celebs and dignitaries in the mail!
Speaking about partying, we also have merry “Party King” Jupiter in “Adventurous” Aries opposing “Party Queen” Venus, in “Let’s Fall in Love” Libra today. It can be a very romantic aspect, but also highly self-indulgent. As many of us know, too, sometimes too much of a good thing, can end up being a bad thing, so we need to try to cultivate some moderation here. That is, unless, of course, actor George Clooney is in the picture. At which time, wild abandon and excessive behavior are perfectly acceptable and wholly expected. Right, ladies?
The real “Biggie” from the Universe today, however, and into Tuesday, is the “High Drama” Venus square Pluto aspect. Remember the “Balloon Boy” incident last fall in the U.S., when many of us thought an adorable, inquisitive, little boy was perched inside a ridiculous, weird looking, silvery balloon, that looked like a primitive space ship, that was floating way above a rural countryside somewhere? I think it was in Colorado. That was a “Venus-Pluto” day.
Then, most recently, we had the Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York scandal, in which she was reportedly trying to sell “access” to her ex-husband, Prince Edward. Another ‘Venus-Pluto” day. That was a very sad situation.
So we may want to keep a close eye on the news to see what kind of “soap opera” type drama might be playing out in the collective today. Could even involve more “spies,” with Master Spy Agent Pluto, front and center.
Venus, the love principle, rules our desire for relationships and connections. When it is aligned with “Manipulative, Control Freak” Pluto, our noble need for love can be subverted and debased in the worst way. We can become jealous, obsessive, and controlling or become emotional victims of people who treat us in this manner.
Pluto characteristically acts with a lot of suspicion. With Venus-Pluto today: We’re actively looking for lipstick on the collar, whispered conversations, hang-up calls. We’re driving by places of employment, to see if Joe or Helen really went to work.
Too, we already have the “going overboard,” Venus-Jupiter aspect, on the drawing board for today, which may make this Venus-Pluto influence even more potent and dramatic to handle.
Because I do also like to be positive here, on occasion, and not “all gloom and doom,” it should be mentioned that “Venus-Pluto” can be very regenerating and transforming. “New life” may be breathed into something earlier “left for dead”. Or we may also suddenly, sometimes through a course of events, have a fresh “internal awareness” or “consciousness” about the state of a relationship(s), that ends up being very transformational and positive for us. We could also meet people today with whom we have pivotal karmic issues to work out. Venus square Pluto is another one of those “”soulmate arrival” aspects.
Interestingly, Elvis Presley also had Venus opposite Pluto in his personal horoscope. This aspect played out between his second and eighth houses, the houses that are associated with personal money and possessions (2nd house), and money shared and managed by others (8th house).
Elvis had that highly-publicized relationship with his Business Manager, Colonel Tom Parker, that was reportedly “very controlling,” with Parker at the “controlling end of it,” which would definitely fall under the parameters of the Venus-Pluto aspect. Especially since Pluto was in Elvis’ eighth house of other people’s money management.
How the Venus-Pluto aspect played out in his personal romantic relationships, of course, we don’t really know for sure. But he did passionately pursue Priscilla for many years apparently with a lot of intensity and most likely leveraged quite a bit of control over her. It could be, too, that he was, or became, personally controlling in relationships, in general, out of necessity, and as a response to his intense environment. It seems like everyone wanted a “piece of Elvis,” wanted to “control him” in many ways, most likely for their own Plutonian gain.
Too, women, representing Venus here, were always throwing themselves at him in a highly suggestive, sexual way, and Pluto is very sexual, as co-ruler of Scorpio, the sex sign. So we do know how Venus-Pluto played out in that realm for Elvis. Plus, Venus rules creativity, singing, and music, and he had a transformational (or Plutonian) influence on the music industry. His Venus-Pluto was also part of that “Grand Cardinal Cross” that I spoke about in my blog the other day.
