COSMIC WATCH:

“It’s easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.” Josiah Charles Stamp

The Moon stays in “responsible” Capricorn all day, the sign of career, reputation and status, encouraging us to focus on business and practical concerns. The Moon’s trine to expansive Jupiter in money-ruling Taurus (10:17 am EDT) may also present us with a chance to put more green in our pockets with Jupiter being the planet of goodwill and opportunity. It is an excellent time for growing our network or for making cold-calls or prospecting.

Later in the day, with the Moon’s square to restrictive Saturn in relationship Libra (4:34 pm EDT) “flying solo” likely offers us the most dividends. That strategy may also help to preserve the peace.

“I restore myself when I’m alone.” Marilyn Monroe

Famous People with Moon in Capricorn: Lucille Ball. “Lucy” would have turned 100 on August 6th, last week. The cosmic energy of today is actually somewhat similar to what Lucy had in her horoscope, as she was a creative Leo Sun, with the personally ambitious Capricorn Moon, and her Moon was sextile to Jupiter in Scorpio, the sign of shared resources. The Moon also rules the public, with favorable Moon-Jupiter aspects helping to frame positive relationships with others. Of course, we all “loved Lucy.”

Jupiter, which also rules our sense of humor, was at the very top of her chart in her career house. Too, Lucy was not only a grand comedian she was also a very astute business person. She  had her “maternal” Moon conjunct a Capricorn Ascendant, helping her to perhaps materially prosper from her television role as a beloved wife and mother. The Ascendant is the window from which we view the world. It is also how other people see us.

“I’d rather regret the things I have done than regret the things I haven’t done.” Lucille Ball

Remember the “I Love Lucy” episode when Ethel and Lucy went to work in that chocolate factory and both were standing behind that conveyor belt trying to box the chocolates? Definitely my favorite episode.

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Patricia’s Astrology: I Love Lucy Debuts With Venus Conjunct Mars

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 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.
