Cosmic Weather:

Today (especially the first half) is excellent for putting on our stylish thinking caps and doing some serious planning, especially engaging in long-term planning for our future. This is because Mercury, in precise Virgo (the planet that shows how we think, reason or make sense of things), is forming a flowing trine to structuring Saturn Rx in utilitarian Capricorn (Saturn is the planet that provides us with a reality check; it also represents our limits and capabilities).

In general, Mercury trining Saturn helps foster practical, more efficient ways of thinking, communicating, and relating. Also, due to the more cautious nature of Saturn, we are more likely now to want to stick with the tried-and-true, or what has, otherwise, already been tested and shown to be reliable.

Later in the day, meanwhile, the First Quarter Moon in “adventurous” Sagittarius  (11:10 pm), can find us more than a little willing, again, to experiment, or to throw caution to the wind, which is something that can potentially cause us a bit of inner angst or discord as the transiting Virgo planetary stellium now would much prefer that everything be neatly tied up and packaged with a nice bow on top. 🙂 On the other hand, the positive side to this lunar phase is that it’s showing us that we’re continually wanting to grow and become more of who we are, and that’s always a good thing!

“Without leaps of imagination or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.” Gloria Steinem

Activities favored today: Studying more serious disciplines such as math, science, architecture, or engineering; having serious, practical discussions with established authority figures or persons in power; organizing one’s workspace or work duties; having or scheduling a hearing test or a bone-density test; retirement planning; budget planning.

*All times EDT

Born on This Day: American comedian and stand-up actor, Bob Newhart, known for his deadpan humor, turns 90 years old today.

(Newhart, a Virgo Sun, has Mercury exactly conjunct Mars in pleasing, diplomatic Libra. Mercury conjunct Mars generally produces a great deal of mental energy and mental alertness or quickness. Both of these planets in Newhart’s chart are also opposite spontaneous, irreverent Uranus, the planet of genius and inventiveness, in pioneering Aries.) 

“I don’t like country music, but I don’t mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means ‘put down’.” Bob Newhart 🙂

Hope it’s a good one!

Astrology December 24, 2011: New Moon In Worldly Capricorn

COSMIC WATCH:

New Moons usher in new beginnings. The New Moon in “practical, worldly” Capricorn, on December 24th (1:06 pm EST), is a perfect conduit for any of our long-term planning and goal-setting. Ideally, Capricorn energy infuses us with extra capacity to function in a structured environment in a more disciplined manner. A flowing trine to the lunation from “optimistic” Jupiter also helps to put us in a more “can-do” spirit while mapping out our direction for the year ahead. Abundant Jupiter is also stationing direct in prosperity-minded Taurus, on Christmas Day, gloriously giving us the “cosmic green light” to move forward with our exciting itinerary and plans.

This last New Moon of the year also forms a square to “innovative” Uranus suggesting that we have a chance to break free now from ruts or bottlenecks, especially if we are willing to incorporate, or at least consider, new methods or alternatives. A potent conjunction to “insightful” Pluto also helps us to get really clear on our intentions. It may also serve to strengthen our passions and desires in a transformative way.

We will also want to make a conscious intention of working cooperatively with others now versus getting embroiled in any power struggles. Sometimes, on the shadow side with Moon-Pluto, we can get a little too full of ourselves and that can incline us to want to exert extra influence in the world. Sometimes we also do this in a manner that disregards, or does not take into consideration, other people’s needs and desires. Too, Capricorn is a very authoritative sign to begin with.

“No one can whistle a symphony.  It takes a whole orchestra to play it.” H.E. Luccock

Famous People with Moon in Capricorn: Annie Lennox, Cher, Brad Pitt, George Clooney (still love you, George!)

New Moon in Capricorn Affirmation: “Life loves me and always rewards me generously for all of my noble efforts.”

In The News: It’s being dubbed “the kiss heard around the world.” Earlier this week, two female U.S. sailors won the honor of the traditional “first kiss” on the pier (in Virginia Beach, Virginia), upon returning home after being away at sea for 80 days. The pair reportedly nabbed the privilege after partaking in, and winning, a raffle drawing in which sailors bought $1 tickets to raise money for military members’ children. Navy officials said it was the first time that a same-sex couple celebrated the “first kiss.” This “first” was also made possible with the recent repeal of the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.

What makes this incident very fascinating, from an astrological perspective, is that Venus, the planet that also governs women and romance, had just entered “unconventional” Aquarius and was making an exact, harmonious sextile to Uranus in Aries, the planet that governs equality issues and matters involving individual rights. Aries is also the sign that happens to rule the military.

Happy New Moon blessings! Also, may you and your loved ones enjoy peace, love and joy this holiday season and all year ‘round. Looking forward to being with you here in the new year.

Namaste,

Patrice Thompson

Astrology June 7, 2011: “Clear Thinking” Mercury Trine Saturn

COSMIC WATCH:

“Flawed judgment can serve as a bridge to sound decision-making when we wisely learn from our missteps.”  Patrice Thompson

The day kicks off with the Moon still deposited in drama queen Leo then shifts into worker bee Virgo (3:34 pm EDT) at which time our personal efficiency level gets boosted up a notch, as Virgo tends to be very organized and analytical. The Virgo Moon’s lucky trine to generous, optimistic Jupiter in material Taurus (4:43 on EDT) also bodes well for money and possession matters.

We may also find that our ability for clear thinking is potentially enhanced today with intellectual Mercury in Gemini’s trine to astute Saturn in balanced Libra. This is an excellent day for mental concentration, long-term planning, budget discussions, working on detailed reports, matters of commitment,  and gaining influential support or backing (Saturn) for our ideas (Mercury).

Anchoring Saturn tends to steady or stabilize our thinking and confers upon us practical know-how based upon our experience. It can also make us much more disciplined (Saturn). Too, we are more apt choose our words (Mercury) more wisely (Saturn). This is a positive time to discuss serious (Saturn) issues, especially related to our goals. Also, this is a good day to seek out professional advice or counseling.

Note: The Moon is void-of-course from 11:28 am EDT until 3:34 pm EDT. During that time span it is best to attend to old matters versus starting anything new.

Famous Birthdays June 7th: Late Dean Martin (94), Prince (53). BTW, Prince has a fascinating horoscope with a very strong “Pluto” tone to it, which may help to explain why he has always been more of a mystery to figure out. (Pluto can be very secretive). Also, it sheds light on his intensity.

Prince has his Pluto in entertainment Leo at 29 degrees exactly conjunct his 10th house of career (the highest point in his chart). He also has a Pluto-ruled Scorpio Ascendant (how the world sees him), and his restless Gemini Sun (power source) is exactly conjunct his 8th house cusp of other people’s resources (also the house of sex), which is the natural house of Pluto.

Pluto conjunct the authoritative 10th house often denotes the potential for a “power complex,” as Pluto governs the urge for power and or control. Pluto also represents the masses, and individuals with Pluto here often rise to positions whereby they can impact a large number of people (10th house is also linked with an individual’s reputation and the world at large).

Pluto also denotes our passions and obsessions and when it is on the professional house there can be an intense pursuit of career matters, sometimes to the exclusion of everything else. The person may also have the feeling that they are “fated” for a certain role. There is also often a desire to transform or radically reshape the world in some way, usually in conjunction with career, as Pluto represents the rebirth factor. Of course, Prince has done just that through his incredible music and unique theatrics (Leo). Prince also has his artistic Venus in sensual Taurus (ruling the voice)  aligned with both Uranus (genius) and Neptune (fantasy). Hope Prince has a wonderful birthday. Wonder if he’ll be partying tonight? Like it’s 1999? Do you think? Gotta’ believe that he will. 🙂
