Cosmic Weather:

“It is always the novice who exaggerates.” C.S. Lewis

Mercury in Pisces squares Jupiter in Sagittarius (3:40 pm)

While we may be very jazzed up about our ideas, beliefs, and points of view today, including, perhaps, very eager and ready to perform full-fledged Jupiterian proselytizations on anyone who will give us just five minutes, chances are that we’re not quite ready for prime time yet! At least, that is, our ideas, etc. might not be fully ready for their big Broadway stage debuts. Had to clarify that! Of course, we’re ready! We’re always ready! 🙂

Often with Mercury square Jupiter in play, there’s a tendency for us to overpromise, overexaggerate, and bloviate, in general. We’re also more prone to overlooking key details because we’re less inclined to want to concentrate our attention now. Still, though, today can be a fun, stimulating time for conversation, or for writing. Especially in the first half of the day, as this energy is applying.  That’s because, again, there’s a certain largeness to our thinking now that feels very positive. Our mental faculties are also being s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d. Mercury in Pisces is also already in its shadow phase, getting ready to turn retrograde on March 5, so we’re going to have this Mercury-Jupiter square, two more times, before it’s all over. Hopefully, we’ll get to see more of this evolving picture, each time it occurs. Eventually knowing exactly what to do! Anyway, hope always springs eternal here!

Venus Conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn (10:49 pm)

“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.” Anais Nin

As we move more into the second half of the day, we’re likely going to be feeling more of the emotional intensity of the Venus-Pluto conjunction. This aspect can make us especially want to go deeper with our relationships, and to look at things that we may have not wanted to face before. But, now, we’re likely wanting to get to the bottom of things, maybe about ourselves, another person, or a situation, possibly because we no longer want to be living a lie, or an illusion. Or, things may have also reached a critical point now, where there’s no longer even an option of our turning back.

Additionally, we may also want to be healed now from whatever has been weighing us down, or holding us back. There’s definitely a lot of raw emotion out there now. And, ideally, it can be used for transformational purposes. But, first, we must scale to the depths and be willing to look at, unflinchingly, the true nature of things. See what comes up for us from below, and then release it, or try let it go.

It’s also interesting now that, with this Venus-Pluto conjunction taking place in authoritative Capricorn, Pope Francis is hosting a historic summit on combatting clergy sex abuse in the Catholic Church. On the shadow side, Venus-Pluto is sometimes associated with sexual abuse. Pluto specifically governing such things as sexually deviant or hidden or clandestine forms of behavior, violating sexual taboos, fetishes, obsessions, and even hate crimes. It can also translate into our wanting to be on a power trip of sorts. Wanting to, perhaps, exert maximum control over others for our own selfish purposes or gratification. Or, on the flip side, we may encounter or hear about individuals now who behave in this manner. Today, Pope Francis (b. 12/17/36) also has, in his natal chart, transiting Mars exactly conjunct his Uranus in Taurus in his tenth house of career and public standing. Mars-Uranus often signifying a powerful period when a person is called upon to initiate (Mars) radical reforms (Uranus). Uranus right now, too, is at 29 degrees of pioneering Aries, a critical degree in which we often feel compelled to take last-minute or final action on something that has been building for a while. What’s more, Pope Francis has his natal midheaven at 0 degrees of Taurus! So Uranus is getting ready to cross over it, in a few days. It’s likely that today’s summit is just the beginning, or a sampling, of what is probably going to be unfolding, in the future, around the Pope, and with the church, for a long time to come.

On another level, this can also be a time when we get more reality-focused about our finances, including possibly wanting to take measures to turn things around for the positive. 

UPDATED: More Venus-Pluto high-profile type stories in the headlines today! This afternoon, singer R. Kelly was reportedly charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, some involving underage victims, according to US media reports.  Also, Patriots owner Robert Kraft was, the billionaire owner of the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, was charged today with two counts of soliciting sex as part of a wide-ranging investigation into prostitution and suspected human trafficking in South Florida (New York Times).

Astrology February 12, 2019: Mars Conjuncts Uranus in Aries

Adler Planetarium, astrology for february 12 2019, daily horoscope, individual freedom, Mars conjunct Uranus, mars conjunct uranus in aries, military, Retired astronaut Mark Kelly runs for US Senate in Arizona

Cosmic Weather:

“You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do.” Carl Jung

With motivating Mars and spontaneous Uranus coming to a conjunction, early tomorrow morning (1:19 am), at 29 degrees of trailblazing Aries, we may feel more of an urgent desire to take some kind of finalizing action(s) now, in a bid to change or reshuffle our world, or to attempt to deal with ongoing or fast-developing situations. Embracing new approaches, or fashioning new responses, may especially be what is required of us here. When planets reach the end of a zodiacal sign, there’s also usually a culmination of activities, or a type of summation occurring, of whatever has transpired while the planet(s) has been progressing through the sign. It’s also possible that the kind of action (Mars) we take now will be something that serves to make us feel freer or more unencumbered (Uranus) as individuals. Or that, perhaps, helps to further showcase our individuality, or unique achievements.

Ideally, on a collective level, actions may also be taken now that are seemingly more liberating or cutting-edge for the collective as a whole, as Uranus is a transpersonal planet that can affect major societal or cultural changes or reforms. Additionally, Mars-Uranus energy can also denote taking measures to preserve our existing freedoms. Mars enters earthy, stabilizing Taurus on Valentine’s Day, and Uranus re-enters Taurus on March 6th. after initially wading into the sign for a few months, last year.

On the shadow side, Mars conjunct Uranus can sometimes trigger greater feelings of restlessness, impulsiveness, and impatience. It can foster unpredictability, in general. Collectively, it’s associated with uprisings, revolts, and or a general state of lawlessness. As a quality or kind of energy, Mars-Uranus is often described as being highly combustible in nature, either in a literal sense, such as a fire or an explosion. Or, symbolically, such as blowing our fuses, temperment-wise. At any rate, it’s probably not a good time to tinker around with electrical wiring for amusement now, unless you know what you are doing. Even then…

Earth is a small town with many neighborhoods in a very big universe.” Ron Garan

On May 12, 1930, Mars and Uranus were also exactly conjunct in pioneering Aries when The Adler Planetarium opened to the public in Chicago, Illinois. The opening of The Adler Planetarium was a very big deal, at the time, because it was the very first planetarium in the Western Hemisphere.  Uranus, as the modern day ruler of Aquarius, governs such things as astronomy, astrophysics, and space travel. Interestingly, retired astronaut Mark Kelly also announced today that he is running for the U.S. Senate in Arizona, potentially injecting a “hands-on” otherworldly view of things into the public arena. 

“Man has gone out to explore other worlds and other civilizations without having explored his own labyrinth of dark passages and secret chambers, and without finding what lies behind doorways that he himself has sealed.” – Stanislaw Lem

Astrology April 3, 2011: New Moon in Aries, Mars Conjunct Uranus in Aries

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Identity is destiny.” Stephen Covey

We have a New Moon at 14 degrees of Aries today (10:33 am EDT). Aries, by the way, symbolically represents our “self-identity,” in reference to the Stephen Covey quote above. New Moons also signify “new beginnings,” and this one occurring here, in the first sign of the zodiac, is the equivalent of having a “double whammy,” as Aries denotes “new starts.”

Too, we just had “energizer” Mars, the ruler of Aries, re-enter its own sign yesterday, joining the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus. Mars is also conjunct “liberating” Uranus today (4:52 pm EDT) in Aries, something that has not happened since May of 1932. Mars-Uranus is an electrifying, powerhouse of an aspect. It can be explosive, but it can also inspire genius and innovation.

Uranus also rules radio broadcasting and the last time these two planets paired up in adventurous Aries is exactly when late comedian Jack Benny‘s “radio program” debuted on the air (May 2, 1932). Benny was also an Aquarian (a sign ruled by Uranus). Jack Benny, with his comedic genius (Uranus) ended up being a pioneer (Aries) in the entertainment industry. He liberated many of us  from our sordid daily routines by making us laugh. His more rebellious, wacky brand of humor was highly original and had “Uranus” stamped all over it.

Also, a synchronistic, personal tie-in here to today’s Aries New Moon and also the Mars conjunct Uranus aspect: A few minutes ago, while I was still lying in bed listening to soft jazz on the radio, a song suddenly came over the radio with the powerful lyric, “As long as you are breathing, you can start all over again.” I had never heard this song before (don’t even know if that is the title of the song), but as soon as I heard it, I knew that I had just experienced, in an uncomplicated way, the basic essence of the New Moon in Aries: As long as we are alive, we all have the option of beginning anew!  Yes, this is true! Too, this came over the Uranus-ruled radio! So very cool.

Mars-Uranus is also an aspect which triumphantly proclaims and celebrates our uniqueness and individuality, strong support for the “identity-seeking” Aries New Moon. So, let’s start (Aries) something spectacular and grand today with our lives. Make the mighty contribution that only we alone can make. The New Moon’s opposition to “form-builder” Saturn also ensures that, if we are “serious” (Saturn) about creating new beginnings, we can do it!

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” C.S. Lewis

Saturn Trine Neptune Beatles Begin Recording Sgt Pepper 11/24

A Day In The Life, a day in the life banned by bbc, astrology for november 24 2010, astrology november 24 2010, BBC, Beatles record Sgt Pepper on November 24 1966, creativity, dreams, free horo, hippies, horoscope for november 24 2010, horoscope november 24 2010, imagination, karma, Mars conjunct Uranus, mind-altering drugs, Moon in Aries, music, Paul McCartney, psychedelic, recording studio, Saturn trine Neptune, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Sun conjunct Venus, T, The Beatles, this day in history november 24, Yoko Ono, zodiac, zodiac signs

This Date In History:

November 24, 1966:

The Beatles begin recording sessions for their masterpiece eighth album: Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band which was later released on June 1, 1967. The group reportedly spent over 400 hours in the recording studio producing this one album. The BBC would later end up banning one of the songs from it, “A Day In The Life” out of reported concern over a supposed drug reference in the song, “I’d love to turn you on…”

On 11/24/66 the Moon was in fiery, pioneering Aries. Also, adding to the level of excitement that day: The illuminating Sun and Creative Venus were affectionately conjunct in storytelling Sagittarius, harmoniously trined to lucky, expansive Jupiter in showman Leo, the sign of entertainment.

Enterprising Mars, the ruler of trailblazing Aries, was in perfectionist Virgo and exactly conjunct “inventive genius” Uranus. Mars and Uranus were additionally in a close conjunction to transforming Pluto in Virgo.

So we had a cool host of intense, game-changing influences for the collective, in effect.

Ambitious Saturn, too, often billed as the “Lord of Karma,” was in Imaginative Pisces, the sign which rules music, and in an exact flowing trine to mystical, psychedelic Neptune (Neptune rules drugs).  Neptune is also the planetary ruler of Pisces. Of course, Sgt. Pepper had a very mystical, psychedelic theme to it. Drug Kingpin Neptune was also hanging out in revamping Scorpio at the time, maybe part of the reason why so many were trying to find “psychic redemption” then through mind-altering drugs.

Too, Neptune rules our dreams and fantasies, and when aligned favorably with “karma rewards king” Saturn, we often see the manifestation of our dreams (creativity) coming true. We are better able to give tangible form and shape (Saturn) to the products of our imagination (Neptune) i.e. through songwriting, poetry, painting, etc.

Traditionalist and status quo preserver Saturn in dreamy Pisces was also opposite the rebellious and personally liberating Mars, Uranus, and Pluto conjunction, delineating the general angst that was going on in the collective then among the new ‘hippie” generation for radical change and the older generation of yesteryear.  This angst was, of course, also artistically woven in a masterful way into the fabric of Sgt Pepper and even evident on the unique cover of the record album which was very original (Uranus), spacey and psychedelic (Neptune), and a likely game-changer (Pluto) for the music industry.

Mercury Sextile Pluto Aspect: Insight for Solving Life’s Riddles

This Date In History:

November 12, 1970:

Scientists perform the first artificial synthesis of a live cell.

Mental Mercury, governing logic and reasoning ability, is in Investigative Scorpio, the sign of DNA, regeneration, and the mysteries of life. Mercury, at 29 degrees of Scorpio, is exactly sextile to Scorpio’s ruler Pluto, at 29 degrees of Analytical Virgo, which is also the sign of physical health. (The harmonious 60 degree sextile aspect signifies “opportunity.”)

Mercury sextile Pluto is among the premier aspects for research, as Mercury’s understanding and reasoning is given much greater depth and focus when aligned with intense Pluto, which symbolizes what’s “hidden below” (life at the cellular level). Too, Mercury’s placement in Scorpio, in addition to its “sextile to Pluto,” was like having a ‘double whammy’ of Resourceful Scorpio energy to work with that day.

Plus, Probing Pluto was in Health-Oriented Virgo.  Virgo is a sign associated with microscopically “breaking things down” so as to understand them better.

Other very powerful, game-changing influences were also around that day:

Mercury was tightly conjunct Visualizing, Imaginative Neptune at 0 degrees of Scholastic Sagittarius, giving a greater ability to creatively “duplicate” or “replicate” situations.

Fortuitous Venus and Jupiter were exactly conjunct in Mystery-Solving Scorpio, perhaps bringing an element of “luck” and “more advantageous conditions” to the matter of research and problem-solving (Scorpio).

The Sun was in Multiplying Scorpio exactly opposite Karma Lord Saturn in “Material” Taurus. Saturn represents “form-building.” Oppositions denote “turning points.”

Finally, Pioneering Mars in Intellectual Libra was also separating from an intense conjunction with Genius Uranus, a planet known to bestow “sudden flashes of brilliance.”  Uranus acts as a catalyst for change, and often manifests it through technological and scientific aadvancement.

Mars Conjunct Uranus: John Lennon and Yoko Go Nude on Album

This Date In History:


November 11, 1968:

John Lennon and Yoko Ono appear nude on the cover of the “Two Virgins” album. “Adventurous” Mars, ruling the aggressive urge, is exactly conjunct “Rebel” Uranus in “Marital” Libra, the sign of the public. Venus-ruled Libra is also associated with “artistic expression.”

With Mars conjoined Uranus, there is definitely more of a tendency for us to want to “break the rules.” Uranus symbolizes, “freedom of expression.” Mars also governs our sexuality, and paired with non-traditional, freedom-loving Uranus, there is certainly an increased proclivity to want to “innovate and experiment” in this area. Uranus, too, is characteristically “uninhibited.”

The Emotional Moon that day was also in “Theatrical, Drama Queen” Leo. Leo is the sign of “entertainment.”

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope November 1, 2010: Love Spells

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Night Goddess Moon is conducting quality control in Continuous Improvement Virgo. We may want to follow her example and set about improving procedures and protocol in our own lives.

The Virgo Moon loves dissecting and breaking things apart to observe operational efficiencies. Virgo symbolically rules the digestive system in the body.

Too, with the Illuminating Sun in Sexy Scorpio, a sign that is also highly investigative in its own right, some of us now may want to undertake a thorough analysis of our more intimate night moves, with a thought on how to perfect them. Scorpio does rules sex therapy. 🙂

It should also be noted that today, The Love Maven herself, Ms. Venus, in Passionate Scorpio, is involved in yet another retrograde linkup with Penetrating Pluto in High Achievement Capricorn. This is compliments of that “naughty little sextile aspect.” What this means is that we may be infinitely more appealing to the opposite sex now. Hooray!!!

So, despite the fact that it’s a Monday, we probably need to get off of our duffs and back to work casting those heavy-duty love spells, brewing up those alluring love potions, as these efforts may finally pay off for a change. Who knows, George Clooney may even appear on our doorstep again, if we are diligent enough in our spell-making.

Mesmerizing Venus-Pluto can sometimes even brings us “our soulmate.” Or at least, with a Tidy Virgo Moon also beaming down, someone with “above average” vacuuming skills, a much-needed talent which can do wonders for preserving relationships in the long run.

Activities highlighted today: cleaning, organizing, taking inventory, weeding, pruning, crossword puzzles, editing, counseling, holistic and alternative healing methods, fixing what’s broken, eliminating what is no longer needed, scaling back on activities that are taking up too much of our time.

Quote for Today:

“One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is love.” Sophocles

This Date In History:

On November 1, 1972, the first “gay theme” TV Movie airs, “That Certain Summer.” Mars, which rules sex, was exactly conjunct Equality planet Uranus in partnership Libra. Uranus perennially defies convention and tradition, so we had a movie come out here that unabashedly showcased gay romance, something unprecedented for that time period.  As I have mentioned here before, Uranus’s ray is often prominent in gay rights issues.

Additionally, Love Goddess Venus was exactly conjunct Transforming Pluto, also in relationship Libra, another pivotal influence that can serve to “reframe” relationships in new ways.

(Today, we have Venus sextile Pluto, a similar aspect to the Venus-Pluto conjunction. We may want to keep our eyes on the news to see if any compelling “relationship issues” grab the headlines.

Sometimes, too, Venus-Pluto can be manipulative with our emotions. The “Balloon Boy” saga unfolded last fall with Venus square Pluto. Many of us were then “taken in” by the event. Usually “a lot of drama” occurs with Venus-Pluto.

Speaking of drama, this aspect can also signal a time when our “ex-lovers” come back from the dead to haunt us, especially now when we are still so close to spooky Halloween.)

Patricia Thompson’s Astrology May 13, 2010: Stones “Satisfaction”

13 Thursday May 2010

astrology, Astrology for May 13 2010, Astrology May 13 2010, astrology signs, commercialization, free horoscope, horoscope, Horoscope for May 13 2010, Horoscope May 13 2010, Keith Richards, Keith Richards horoscope, Mars conjunct Pluto, Mars conjunct Uranus, Mick Jagger, Mick Jagger's horoscope, music industry, Pluto conjunct Venus, rock music, rock n roll, Rolling Stones, Rolling Stones record Satisfaction, YouTube Satisfaction Live by Rolling Stones, zodiac, zodiac signs

“The average man does not want to be free.  He simply wants to be safe.” H. L. Mencken

Whether that sentiment is true or not we are seeking a good measure of safety and security today with the New Moon in money-conscious and stabilizing Taurus. New moons mark new beginnings.

This new chapter today speaks to us of setting our intentions for practical strategies that fortify our security. For instance, now would be a great time to come up with a money-saving plan for the future. Or perhaps think of a way that we can somehow attract to us more of the things that we want in our lives.

The New Moon’s sextile to abundant Jupiter is waiting to reward us here.  We only have to be willing and able to put forth some degree of effort and initiative (trine to Saturn in Virgo) in the matter.

The New Moon also makes a restless square to assertive Mars in Leo. There is some tension here that needs to be resolved between seeking security and freedom of self-expression. Most of the time with Mars squares we feel the need to take some kind of swift action. Leo the Lion, too, is king of the jungle, so some of this action may involve temporarily seizing the spotlight as a show of power and dominance.

Events in history on this date:

Speaking of power and dominance, how about Leo Mick Jagger and Sagittarian Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones? Those two iconic figures certainly epitomize both of those things in contemporary culture and popular music.

“(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” perhaps the biggest song in rock n’ roll history and Stones’ signature work, was reportedly written in May of 1965 and recorded on this date, May 13 (or right around, some confusion here). Keith Richards is said to have composed the song in his sleep and Mick penned the lyrics. The song speaks to the crass commercialization of society.

The cosmic energy at the time was so fitting for a song like Satisfaction to materialize.  Pioneering Mars was conjoined rebel Uranus and transforming Pluto in the critical sign of Virgo (Virgo deals with the digesting of experience). Many of us suddenly started to realize that we were not really happy with all the types of homogenized garbage that we had been fed on how we should live and what kinds of values we should espouse.

With Mars and Uranus aligned, we’re ready for revolt (Mars rules war). Uranus clamors to us to rise up against anything that traps us or keeps individuality submerged. We insist on personal freedom at all costs and we don’t want anyone dictating to us how we must feel or live (the lyrics of Satisfaction).

Interestingly, Keith Richards also has both Mars and Uranus configured together in his birth chart. He vibrates to this kind of individualistic mindset daily in his own life. The expansive transiting Jupiter in communication Gemini was also exactly conjuncting Richards’ Mars-Uranus conjunction, accentuating the influence, when he wrote Satisfaction. Uranus also rules genius and invention and, in music, highly original compositions.

That Mars-Uranus conjunction in his chart is also trine to his natal Neptune.  Neptune governs imagination and music. It also rules sleep and dreams.  Imagine being able to go to bed and wake up with a song in your head that is going to eventually make you zillions of dollars.  Not a bad life or karma! That is how Neptune usually works for us, too.  We get inspiration from it a lot of times in our dreams when we are more attuned to our subconscious and otherworldly dimensions.

Mick Jagger also had several favorable  Jupiter aspects like Keith had when he wrote the Satisfaction lyrics, including Jupiter sextile both his natal Jupiter and Pluto in Leo conjunction. Traditionally that is a “luckier” time when new doors  suddenly open up for us (and Leo again rules the entertainment realm).

Mick also had transiting Pluto (a powerful life-changer) exactly conjunct his natal Venus in Virgo. Venus rules artistic expression and aligned with Pluto it can denote giving creative birth to something so big (Pluto rules the masses), a masterpiece, that one’s life is literally changed forever as a result. Pluto-Venus can also be a period in which you can make a mega amount of money, as Pluto is associated with great wealth and Venus, as ruler of Taurus, governs money.

Enjoy your New Moon Thursday! Make it a rich day!

“Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall; A mother’s secret hope outlives them all.” Oliver Wendell Holmes


The ever-changing Moon fittingly begins this Mother’s day in the selfless sign of Pisces. No doubt she’s hoping we’ll be likewise inspired by the altruistic qualities of this sign to demonstrate a gentle mothering and caring to others, especially to those more fragile persons around us who are suffering or in crisis.

Practicing compassion not only makes others happy, it is also a way to make ourselves feel better. In Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, our hearts are always bigger. Our vision more divine.

We may experience contradictory waves of emotion as the sensitive Pisces Moon conjoins joyous Jupiter, opposes anxious Saturn and then conjuncts rebellious Uranus mid-afternoon. Immersion into some kind of creative project may be a good way to productively channel these variegated feelings.

The Moon enters adventurous Aries at 5:29 pm EDT at which time the energy becomes much more frenetic and outward. We’re ready to ramp up our engines and start all over again then.

Events in history on this date: On May 9, 2005 The Huffington Post was launched by Arianna Huffington (Cancer) and two others as a more liberal-progressive American news website and aggregated blog.

This very popular site reportedly receives 18 or 19 million visits a month, however, that number is a fluctuating estimate.  What is also noteworthy here is that they’re registering more than a million comments each month from their countless stream of articles.

Too, while HuffPost is known for its focus on politics, it has successfully expanded into other areas including business, entertainment and sports.

On the launch date, we find the Sun in consolidating Taurus making a positive sustaining sextile to longevity Saturn in nurturing Cancer. The Sun position in a horoscope is always very important as it depicts the life force in the chart in which everything else revolves.  We always want to have a strong Sun placement as it provides vitality and spirit for a being or enterprise.

Here in materialistic Taurus, the Sun is practically grounded and the link to utilitarian, survivalist Saturn endows it with an intrinsic understanding of how to use all the resources at its disposal.

The Sun is also in a close, more challenging square to idealistic Neptune in Aquarius, the sign of the collective.  The dreamy Neptune influence acts as an antidote, in some ways, to the more cautious, conservative Sun-Saturn energy.

Sun-Neptune is goaded into action more by a sense of vision and lofty ideals and less by practical considerations, especially with Neptune being in the sign of brotherly love Aquarius. Sun-Neptune intrinsically seeks to inspire and enlighten others. There can particularly be a strong need to want to be a voice for persons or groups who are disenfranchised.

A lot of political leaders, including U.S. Presidents, have had Sun-Neptune prominent in their charts, as it seems to install some measure of a “Messiah-complex” with Neptune symbolically representing our link to the Divine.

Neptune also governs visual images as well as charisma.  Sun-Neptune energy often denotes figures or entities that engage us or captivate us in some magical way.  Neptune is the purveyor of illusion.  It also rules glamor, disguise and hopeless addiction. The Huffington Post is a master when it comes to leveraging visual imagery along with written content, another reason why so many maybe have become hooked on the blog. Lucky Jupiter’s placement in social Libra also adds to the successful public appeal of it.

The emotional Moon was also in the communication sign of Gemini at its inception, giving a natural communication ease as well as bestowing a deep need for interacting and articulating with the environment.

Pioneering Mars was also powerfully conjoined with innovative, trend-setter Uranus in Pisces on the launch day. Pisces is the sign that the very imaginative Neptune rules.  This influence attests to brilliance and genius and confers marked ability for a farsighted strategy that is able to project well into the future.

With Mars-Uranus in the Huffington Post horoscope there is also an unbridled passion for discovering new horizons as well as an aptitude for altering, updating existing environments. Uranus is furthermore the technology guru and with energetic Mars conjunct it, there would be easy access and talent for all things technological.

Also on that day, communicator Mercury, the purveyor of news and information, was in adventurous Aries, powerfully aspected (trined) to investigative Pluto in Sagittarius, the sign of publishing and journalism. Pluto denotes depth and all things hidden. Under Pluto’s ray, and aligned with Mercury, we  go deep into our thoughts.  We experience depth perception.

Pluto also represents power, control and transformation. Together with Mercury, we very much want to control and transform others (Pluto rules the masses) through our ideas (Mercury). We strive very hard to have our words unleash a powerful punch so as to have maximum impact.

Pluto also represents ”historic firsts.”  Mercury-Pluto days are often times when we hear about “history-making” events that alter the consciousness of the masses.  So it is not surprising that the Huffington Post has had a history shaping impact on the collective.

Mercury-Pluto is really an ideal aspect to have in a news-oriented horoscope as it is indicative of always trying to get the big scoop, always striving to get to the bottom of things.  This is because it is fueled by an obsessive, insatiable passion for uncovering what lies at the essence of every matter.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Happy Mother’s Day!

And, Happy Fifth Birthday to the Huffington Post!
