COSMIC WEATHER:

“Justice has been done.” President Barack Obama (quote taken from his announcement, late yesterday, that Osama Bin Laden had been killed).

Mission accomplished! Nearly ten years after the 9/11 terror attack, a small team of U.S. forces (Navy Seals) raided a compound in Pakistan yesterday and reportedly killed Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind behind 9/11.Warrior Mars was exactly conjunct “lucky” Jupiter, the planet of opportunity, in military-ruling Aries, something that we have only had about two or three times in the last hundred years in this sign. (BTW, one of those times occurred back on January 6, 1940, during WWII, when General Semyon Suomussalmi was made head of all the Russian forces, a major shift in military command at the time.)

We also had a stellium of six planets (also referring here to the Moon as a planet) in fighter Aries yesterday, another rarity that we won’t have again for at least a dozen or more years. Of course, having such a heavy emphasis in Aries always ups the ante, potentially, for “military-type showdowns.” We continue to have five planets in Aries until May 11th. (Too, the day before this raid, there was the high-profile, unfortunate loss of life in Libya when the NATO strike force killed Moammar Gadhafi’s youngest son and three grandchildren, which garnered worldwide attention. That day, we also had Venus opposite Saturn, an aspect often associated with separation and sorrow.)

I have been blogging here the last few days about this special “Mars-Jupiter” aspect and how it tends to coincide with the occurrence of more singular, large-scale, high-profile events taking place in the collective (the Royal Wedding and the beatification of John Paul II; Jupiter also rules royalty, religion and clergy). Jupiter, the expansive urge, tends to magnify the size and scope of everything. Mars (the ruler of the aggressive urge and soldiers) generally serves to energize or “fire up” whatever it is aligned with. With these two forces merged together in “militaristic” Aries, Osama Bin Laden, the “most wanted person” on the planet, is finally captured and killed. A gargantuan (Jupiter) feat by any standard.

The Mars-Jupiter energy perennially tends to fuel our self-confidence and is additionally associated with risk-taking and adventure, especially in bravado Aries. Aries is also a zodiacal sign that is linked with “historic firsts,” “record-setting” and “discoveries.” Osama Bin Laden’s demise is also surely a huge (Jupiter) boost for the psyche of the U.S. armed forces (Mars). Already some are calling it a “game changer.”

Yesterday, in my blog, too, I mentioned that on, an individual level, this very dynamic influence gave us a marvelous, rare chance to “reinvent ourselves,” with Aries ruling our “self-identity” and “self-discovery.” Of course, viewing Aries on more of a collective level, as the sign of the military, this same aspect could be regarded as a favorable time to “reinvent,” or at least “retool,” the perception of the U.S. armed forces. Mars-Jupiter also coinciding here, of course, with the successful military raid on the compound where Osama had been hiding.

Also heard on the news today that President Obama gave the orders for the raid on Friday, when we had the illuminating Sun in Taurus harmoniously trined to Pluto in Capricorn. “Master Spy” Pluto, as ruler of secretive Scorpio, is associated with detection, investigation, and ferreting out hidden information. It denotes “hidden forces” and also “terrorism” and extremist activities. With Sun trine Pluto, we often are privy to finding out about clandestine affairs and plots. It can also often be a very transforming, regenerating (Pluto) influence, with Pluto ruling both death and rebirth. The Sun also represents world leaders and presidents. Capricorn, too, rules government.

Were you surprised to hear about Osama Bin Laden’s death? Did you ever think that he would someday be caught?

Astrology May 1, 2011: “Popes, Saints, Would-be Kings” Mars Conjunct Jupiter

COSMIC WEATHER:

“In his holy flirtation with the world, God occasionally drops a handkerchief. These handkerchiefs are called saints.” Frederick Buechner

With popes and beatification in the news, and would-be kings, it could be that Mars is aligned with Jupiter above! Mars and Jupiter are, indeed, conjunct in pioneering Aries now, and have been so for the last few days. This aspect is finally exact to the dot today (12:26 am EDT).

Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius (sign of religion and philosophy) and co-ruler of spiritual Pisces (ruler of saints), presides over affairs of royalty and and also clergyman, including religious figures such as the pope. Of course, we had the royal wedding on Friday of Kate Middleton and Prince William, and today, Pope Benedict XVI beatified Pope John Paul the II, bringing the late pontiff one step closer to sainthood. More than a million people descended on St. Peter’s Square and surrounding areas to partake in the event. Kate and Williams’s wedding was viewed by 2.6 billion people.

Expansive, grandiose Jupiter, associated with pomp and circumstance, generally wants everything done on a large, lavish scale. Part of his “perennially thinking big” mindset and orientation. Jupiter denotes the philosophy of optimism. “If you can believe it, you can achieve it bro! Don’t fret your poor self with worry over the pending charge account statement. You only go around once! You gotta’ live it up!” 🙂

With energizer Mars conjoined with jolly Jupiter, it is much easier for us now to get carried away with our dreams and enthusiasm, especially in “unstoppable” Aries, the sign of “act first, think later.” So, we may want to make sure that we are adding in at least some measure of common sense with our actions, so we don’t disappoint later, or bite off more than we can chew, in our glorious quest to get ahead and our name on the marquis.

With that said, this is a fantastic time for self-promotion and for selling ourselves. Too, we can even inject some Jupiterian humor into the situation, like President Obama did last night at the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington DC.

I was checking, last night, and it appears that we have only had this Mars-Jupiter conjunction in Aries two or three times in the past 100 years or so, although these two planets meet up every couple years by conjunction. So today’s exact event is very rare. Too, we also have the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Uranus in Aries, the official sign of new beginnings. We will also not have this many planets in Aries again for many years, at least 12+ years or more. Also, the Aries Moon is simultaneously conjunct both Jupiter (10:51 am EDT) and Mars (11:21 am EDT) adding even more icing on our personality cakes.

What this all means, to me, is we have a golden, and again, very rare opportunity to re-design and re-invent ourselves now in unprecedented ways. Aries is about self-discovery, and also turning over a new leaf. If we have maybe been feeling down in the dumps, we need to somehow find a way to re-kindle our passions again today, and attempt to make our lives spectacular and magnificent, on the grand, lavish scale of Mars-Jupiter. To have the world around us take notice of us for our crowing achievements and singular contributions for the good of humanity. Even if we may initially only be a “big fish in a small pond.” At least, it’s a beginning! And, we’ll also do Mars-Jupiter proud! May the “Mars-Jupiter force,” be with you today!

Famous Birthdays May 1st: Judy Collins (72), late Jack Paar (94)

Remember: We’re building it to the sky today!

Astrology April 28, 2011: “Be An Angel” Moon in Pisces

COSMIC WEATHER:

“When angels visit us, we do not hear the rustle of wings, nor feel the feathery touch of the breast of a dove; but we know their presence by the love they create in our hearts.” Unknown

The compassionate Pisces Moon admonishes us to be an angel to others today. To selflessly take creatures, fragile or weak, under our wings and provide them with kind, loving shelter. Too, sometimes just taking a moment to utter a few, uplifting words to a person can fill that person with a bright, glorious hope.

We also have energizer Mars applying to a conjunction to expansive, optimistic Jupiter today (this aspect will also be in around for the Royal Wedding). This is a very potent alignment that tends to make us much more open to envisioning grander possibilities for ourselves and others. As a matter of fact, if we could astrologically “bottle” hope, this is one aspect that we would be putting into that container.

Too, Mars conjunct Jupiter is linked with evangelizing and preaching. So, if you perhaps feel a little inspired to give that “sermon on the mount” today, this aspect could be the reason why.

BTW, Mars-Jupiter also has a legacy of being mingled in with the affairs of royalty, with Jupiter ruling kings and queens. Kind of neat that this uplifting aspect will be imbedded, forever, in Kate and William’s royal wedding chart. It could be, too, that their loving marriage will serve as an inspiring template for others, maybe the whole world, to follow. The late Princess Diana, now in the company of angels herself, must be so very, very proud. Of course, Diana’s, dear, sweet memory, will also be present in all of our hearts tomorrow, as we watch the young couple wed.

Famous Birthdays April 28th: Jay Leno (61), Ann Margret (70).

A quick peek at Ann-Margret’s horoscope shows that she has 6 planets in earthy, sensual Taurus, which is also a very artistic sign. Four of those Taurus planets are involved in a harmonious trine to creative, imaginative Neptune. The Neptune influence helps to endow Ann with more of an ephemeral or otherworldly (angelic) quality, and also makes her very sympathetic and compassionate. Everything I have always read about Ann-Margret suggests that she does, indeed, have a heart of gold.

Have an angelic day! Earn those wings!

Personal note: From the looks of things, I may need to be away from here for a few days. But, I shall return!

Mars Conjunct Jupiter: Lincoln Delivers Gettysburg Address 11/19

18 Thursday Nov 2010

This Date In History:

November 19, 1863:

U.S. President Abraham Lincoln delivers the “Gettysburg Address” at the dedication of the Soldiers’ National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The Gettysburg Address, of course, is regarded as one of the greatest speeches in American history. In the speech, Lincoln redefined the Civil War as a struggle that would bring about “a new birth of freedom” and “equality” to all Americans.

Fascinatingly, in the heavens that day, “Energizer” Mars and “Philosophical” Jupiter were exactly conjunct at 11 degrees of “Transforming” Scorpio. Jupiter symbolizes our moral convictions and philosophy of life. With Jupiter, we tend to look at the “bigger picture,” and how we all fit into it. Jupiter is regarded as benevolent and philanthropic in nature. It also rules politicians and public speaking.

Enthusiastic Mars, meanwhile, as ruler of Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, is very trailblazing and pioneering. It also is the planet of war (rules the aggressive urge), and signifies courage and bravery.

When we get Mars and Jupiter together, there is often an intense “zealousness,” a strong desire to “evangelize” or “convert” others to our way of thinking, our philosophy, as Mars “fires up” our beliefs and convictions (Jupiter). We passionately “go to battle” (Mars) for what we believe in (Jupiter).  Indeed, Mars-Jupiter is often indicative of “fanaticism” because it is linked with so much enthusiasm for our message and the causes we are espousing. Jupiter is characteristically “preachy” to begin with. It rules preachers and teachers, as part of its intrinsic “uplifting” nature.

Even though Pluto had not been “officially discovered” at the time, it was at 11 degrees of Taurus that day, which put it exactly opposite the Mars-Jupiter conjunction in Scorpio (Pluto now rules Scorpio).

Pluto denotes our “urge for regeneration,” or “rebirth,” and its energy and awareness tends to be very penetrating  and intense.  Pluto, in opposition to Mars-Jupiter, therefore, most likely served to magnify “even further” the passion and enthusiasm for renewal for the country that Lincoln must have been feeling that day delivering his speech. His message resonating at an optimum time for “mind altering impact” upon the public.

Pluto was also in Taurus which signifies “what we value,” and the Gettysburg Address was about learning to value “all Americans” as equals, a clear change from earlier consciousness (Pluto).

The Illuminating Sun and Mercury were also in Re-birthing Scorpio, and trine to the Compassionate Moon in Pisces, a Moon placement which inclines to make us more aware of our similarities versus our differences.  Pisces symbolizes our link “to the divine.” The Moon governs our emotions.  It also denotes “the public,” and again, with a Pisces Moon, there is more of an emotional receptivity and idealism regarding the “mood of the public.”
