COSMIC WATCH:

Makeovers can be exciting and invigorating. They can also be an ideal way to sustain our existences, over time, as they inevitably help us to step outside of our comfort zones and experience or witness old elements in a brand new light. Including often allowing us to view ourselves with renewed fascination and interest. And, as our perceptions are stretched or altered, we unwittingly end up sowing the seeds of our own growth or evolution. “Man’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.” Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.

With transformational Pluto, the official “makeover guru,” stationing direct in Capricorn today (1:07 am EDT), after a five-month retrograde (review) phase, we seem to have symbolic cosmic approval to outwardly re-define or re-invent ourselves in healthy new ways now, so as to allow for the fullest expression of our authentic self. Pluto also archetypically representing what is essentially our raw essence, or what is often submerged or buried within us at the core levels of our being.

As is typically the case with purging Pluto’s activated ray, we may also have more of a passion now to divest ourselves of any elements that are outworn, dishonest, or redundant, in hopes that we will be better able to stand and flourish surrounded simply by our own truth, instead of being led by dictates formulated by others. “The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were meant to be.” Oprah Winfrey

We also have the Moon entering Pluto-ruled Scorpio today (10:46 am EDT), where it will be joining galvanizing Mars on Wednesday. The very same day that radical Uranus is making yet another exact square aspect to game-shifting Pluto. “The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise—with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country.” Abraham Lincoln.

Famous September 18 Birthdays: Frankie Avalon, Lance Armstrong, Greta Garbo. “Life would be so wonderful if we only knew what to do with it.” Greta Garbo 🙂

What does living authentically mean to you?

How important is it to you that you do your own thing?

What part of your life might benefit from a makeover?

If you had to choose between the two, would you rather be self-actualized or rich?

Astrology July 17, 2012: “Extreme Makeovers” Mars, Jupiter and Pluto

COSMIC WATCH:

Mars, the planet of motivation, aligns with optimistic, expansive Jupiter and transformational Pluto today. For many of us, this may translate into an urge for an “extreme makeover” in some aspect of our lives. The desire for self-renewal is likely very keen now and may equate with our wanting to take some sort of bold, assertive action to bring it about. In some cases, too, this turnaround may come about for us without any seeming effort on our part, although if we go below the surface of things we may see that we have indeed been instrumental in bringing it about.

Simultaneously, we may also need to be more mindful and respectful of honoring other people’s boundaries now in our quest to get ahead. Otherwise, some fallout could ensue if we cross over the lines uninvited. Sometimes, on the shadow side, Mars-Pluto coincides with a clash of wills and power struggles, especially if we perceive we are being threatened or feel like we are being ignored. “I teach people how to treat me by what I will allow.” Stephen Covey

Famous July 17 Birthdays: Camilla, The Duchess of Cornwall, Phyllis Diller. “Most children threaten at times to run away from home. This is the only thing that keeps some parents going.” Phyllis Diller 🙂

In the News: Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke reportedly painted a more dismal picture of the U.S. economy to lawmakers today, alluding to a slowdown in economic activity and a continuing high unemployment rate (wsj.com)

Interestingly, Pluto rules not only debt, taxes, and other people’s monies, but also contractions and implosions. With Mars exactly squaring Pluto today, sometimes with this aspect our perception of what is “not working” or “broken” in our lives can become a major point of focus. Too, we often become much more cognizant of the need to take corrective measures to transform or overhaul things (the “rebirth” side of Pluto) under this influence. Also, Mars-Pluto, metaphorically, is often likened to a surgical procedure in that we remove what is diseased or toxic.

Since we also have Mars trining “big picture” Jupiter today, a very upbeat, visionary influence, we are reminded to keep an eye on our long-term vision now. Mars-Jupiter can be a phenomenal aspect for motivating us in a very self-confident manner, even if things around us may temporarily seem a little bleak or dissonant. “The reason birds can fly and we can’t is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.” J.M. Barrie

Astrology April 11, 2011: Mars Square Pluto, Mercury Conjunct Jupiter

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Life’s challenges are not suppose to paralyze you, they’re suppose to help you discover who you are.” Bernice Johnson Reagon

Mixed bag of nuts today. We have the potent “Mars square Pluto” aspect exact (4:36 pm EDT). This influence has been applying for the last several days. Mars, ruler of our self-assertion and drive, can passionately empower us to take on formidable challenges, when aligned with intense, controlling Pluto. Mars-Pluto is perennially linked with wanting to wield power and influence in the world. (Oprah Winfrey has this aspect exact in her personal horoscope.) We need to make sure, however, that we don’t overtax ourselves or surpass our limits with this aspect. Too, we would be very wise to avoid power struggles, shoving matches, taunting behavior, etc. On the shadow side, Mars-Pluto can awaken and unleash our “inner bully.”

Mars-Pluto can also be “very transforming” energy, with Pluto ruling regeneration. Again, as I mentioned the other day in my blog on Pluto stationing retrograde, this is an excellent time to “wipe the slate clean” and  to purge or eliminate what isn’t working in our lives.

Retrograde Mercury, ruler of our thoughts, is also back into an exact conjunction with “optimistic” Jupiter (11:59 pm EDT), ruler of philosophy and our higher beliefs and vision, academia, long-distance travel. On the plus side, the Mercury-Jupiter influence can make us more enthusiastic and upbeat, more high-minded in our thinking (a nice antidote for the Mars-Pluto “bully” mentality). Mercury-Jupiter is also an excellent time for writing.

The shadow side of this same aspect is we can become too boastful or arrogant (Jupiter). Too, with the Mars-Pluto aspect as a backdrop, this is probably not a good time to get into arguments over philosophical (Jupiter) differences, as they could very well escalate. Also, if we have any public presentations or speeches (Mercury) to make, we will want to make sure that we have “all the facts” straight ahead of time (Mercury-Jupiter tends to exaggerate), in case we later get “called on the carpet” (stickler Pluto). However, if we do diligently cover our bases, we could be very compelling and persuasive as a speaker (or writer) now, especially if we sprinkle in some of the famous “Jupiterian” humor.

BTW, do you think you have a good sense of humor? May want to check out the positioning of Jupiter in your chart and see how it’s linked up to the personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus or Mars; or the Ascendant; or 3rd or 9th houses) for further astrological insight and confirmation. We mentioned Oprah Winfrey earlier, she also has her Mercury (communication) trine Jupiter in her horoscope, so she has no problem seeing humor in things. Too, that endows her with natural ability to make people laugh. (Mercury-Jupiter is also the hallmark of a teacher or preacher.) Comedian David Letterman (who has a birthday tomorrow) also has his Mercury exactly trine his natal Jupiter. David is also a writer and that is excellent for that outlet. Funny man, and also writer, Woody Allen, has his Sun conjunct Jupiter, a similar influence-type influence, as does James Garner, who I have always regarded as very funny.)

“A sense of humor… is needed armor. Joy in one’s heart and some laughter on one’s lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.” Hugh Sidey

Famous Birthdays April 11: Ethel Kennedy (83), Joel Grey (79)

In the News: With the potent “game-changing” Mars-Pluto aspect exact today, fascinatingly, one of the news headlines this morning is about President Obama’s big “press conference” that is slated for this Wednesday. Obama will be unveiling his package of proposed spending cuts for the future, including proposed cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, and changes to Social Security, in a bid to tackle this nation’s deficit crisis (Pluto rules debt). Higher taxes (ruled by Pluto) are also reportedly going to be proposed for the wealthy. (Wall Street Journal)

In announcing the details of his press conference, President Obama is also effectively “transforming” his image (the “reforming” Mars-Pluto energy) to a certain extent, by letting it be known that he is planning on shifting his policies around. Sometimes, too, with Mars-Pluto, we also suffer a “fierce backlash.” Surely there will be factions (the far left? the elderly?) who will not be pleased with his proposals.

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope September 11, 2010: Love Makeover

“Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze.” Amanda Cross

COSMIC WEATHER:

Moon leaves “Matrimonial Libra” for “Let Me Surgically Cut Out Whatever Ails You” Scorpio (5:22 am EDT). The knife-wielding Scorpio Moon also conjoins “Love Maven” Venus (8:55 am EDT) and sextiles “Master Wrinkle-Remover” Pluto.

“With the Moon’s entrance into ‘Rejuvenating’ Scorpio we have an abundance of ’emotionally-transforming’ energy to tap into. Since the Moon is also making harmonious aspects to ‘Beautifying’ Venus and ‘Let’s Cut Right Down To The Bone’ Pluto, this is an ideal time to consider a total ‘Love Makeover’ to ‘jazz things up.’

We’re talking the works here: Thick black mascara on our hearts for a sense of theater and drama. Advance formula concealer on the foundations of our relationships, so we will be oblivious to any ‘thorny issues,’ should they arise later. Some red rouge and bright red lipstick on our commitments, so when we’re tempted to cheat, we’ll immediately think to ‘stop,’ and step on the brakes. Unless, of course, the temptation is in the guise of George Clooney, in which case, we’ll have to humbly kneel, at our partner’s feet, and beg their mercy and forgiveness. Surely, they’ll understand.” (“Honey, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity with George.”)
