Cosmic Weather:

“It’s the steady, quiet, plodding ones who win in the lifelong race.” Robert W. Service

Mars exits new beginnings Aries today and sets up shop in stable, persistent Taurus the Bull (5:51 am), where it will remain until March 31st.  In Taurus, Mars energy is softened, a bit, as this sign is ruled by sweet, receptive Venus. Whereas Mars in Aries was also all about doing, initiating, and exploring, Mars in Taurus now is centered on beingness, rootedness, and acquisition. Mars learns patience and purposefulness in Taurus and, likewise, we are more apt to want to take our time now in executing matters, and do not want to be rushed. We also want to first understand the tangible value of doing something before we commit to doing it. Mars in Taurus now is an excellent time for putting the finishing touches on the projects that we began while Mars was in Aries, although today, with Mars making a semi-square with vague Neptune, we may potentially have a somewhat harder time getting motivated, or staying on track. Sometimes, too, with Mars-Neptune alignments, our physical energy is somewhat diminished so getting more rest may be something that is very beneficial for us now. Additionally, Mercury in Pisces is forming a semi-square to Pluto in Capricorn today. This can help to mentally focus our thoughts in a particular direction. The waxing Moon is also in curious Gemini, all day, and squaring expansive Jupiter in Sagittarius, so there can be an increased desire for learning or seeking out new information, new horizons.

“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”  Benjamin Franklin

*All times EST

Famous People with Mars in Taurus: Melissa Gilbert, Ginger Rogers, J. Edgar Hoover, Shirley MacLaine, Kanye West, Tony Bennett

On This Day in History: On February 14, 1931, The original “Dracula” film starring Bela Lugosi as the titular vampire, is released. On that day, pioneering Mars was retrograde at 0 degrees of theatrical Leo! Bela Lugosi (b. 10/20/1882) also had, in his horoscope, transiting Saturn in Capricorn exactly trine to his natal Neptune in Taurus, a powerful planetary configuration for manifesting (Saturn) our dreams (Neptune). Neptune also rules film. By the way, natally, Lugosi’s assertive Mars was also in passionate, mysterious Scorpio, the sign of death and rebirth.

“The love-bite, it is the beginning. You will be irresistible.” Bela Lugosi

Happy Valentine’s Day! Mars in Taurus can be very sexy and sensual! 🙂

Astrology for January 8, 2019: Mercury in Capricorn Squares Mars in Aries

“It is in moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.” Tony Robbins

Mercury in Capricorn squares Mars in Aries:

We may feel more pressured or primed (Mars) to make decisions (Mercury) today. Including courageous, bold ones! Motivator Mars, the planet which deals with how we assert ourselves, is newly installed in self-confident, trailblazing Aries, the sign that it rules. Here, it is very fast-acting and very eager for new beginnings. Especially since it’s the start of a brand new year.

Thinker Mercury meanwhile, in professionally ambitious Capricorn, cognitively gets Mars enthusiastic drive, desire, and spirit to forge ahead (Capricorn is also an enterprising cardinal sign). Mercury in Saturn-ruled Capricorn, however, is wired to operate much more systematically or methodically, with a definite plan in hand, that carefully showcases all his neatly crossed t’s and i’s circumspectly dotted.

So, what to do to avert a potential ‘planetary shutdown’ between Mercury and Mars? 🙂

A winning solution here seems to be to find a way to combine the best attributes of each of these planets: When rendering any decisions, have a clear, detailed vision in your back pocket of where it is you want to go. Coupled with a realistic analytical assessment of the bevy of resources at your disposal (Mercury in Capricorn). Be willing to also step outside of your comfort zone and be adventurous! Make decisions that stretch your capacity and force you to grow (Mars in Aries).

Additionally, it is wise to keep in mind now that decisions made from a place of integrity inside ourselves will always leave us with a feeling of peace that we are on the right track. “A lot of the conflict you have in your life exists simply because you’re not living in alignment; you’re not be being true to yourself.” Steve Maraboli.

Possible Shadow sides of Mercury Square Mars: Displaying a “win at all costs mentality” that may ride roughshod over the views or opinions of others. Grandstanding. Throwing temper tantrums. Being argumentative. Letting our ego run the show. Refusing to collaborate. In other words, a fairly typical day in the brand new Congress on Capitol Hill! 🙂

Famous People with Mercury square Mars in their natal charts: Oprah Winfrey, Demi Moore, Randy Travis, Bjorn Borg, Tina Turner.

Famous Birthdays January 8: Elvis Presley, Stephen Hawking, David Bowie, R. Kelly, Kim Jong-un, Britton Buchanan.

“Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” Stephen Hawking

Hope it’s a great day for you, and that your destiny is shaped and supported in a positive way! I’ve missed you!

“Creativity comes from a conflict of ideas.” Donatella Versace

The fortifying Taurus Sun meets the flashy Moon in Leo (4:34 pm EDT). We’re looking to dig our heels in and get down to business (Taurus), but at the same time, we require plenty of pomp and circumstance (Leo). We also feel the need to be creative with the sign of Leo ruling our self-expression.

Late tonight and early tomorrow morning, the Moon also forms triumphant trines to the rare triple conjunction of Mercury (thoughts and ideas), Venus (love and social life), and Jupiter (luck and optimism) in expedition Aries (this triple conjunction is exact tomorrow). Ain’t no mountain high enough that we can’t climb now. Our personal popularity (Venus) also has a chance to soar (Jupiter), as we are cosmically cleared to seek out more pleasurable pursuits.

Famous Taurus Birthdays May 10th: Donovan (65), Paul “Bono” Hewson (51). Also, your “humble astrologer,” is 29 and holding today. 🙂

Astrology April 2, 2011: Mars Enters Aries, Venus Sextiles “Soulmate” Pluto

COSMIC WEATHER:

“My passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today; I knew it then as purpose.” Bette Davis

Mars, the planet of drive and self-assertion, enters its own home turf of Aries today (12:51 am EDT), where it will stay until May 11th. Mars in its own sign tends to be very impulsive, yet also courageous and daring. Its placement here helps to fuel our desires, including our sexual desires, which Mars also governs. With Mars in adventurous Aries, the sign of identity and self-discovery, we may feel the urge to “act quickly” on our dreams.

The Moon also enters Aries today (7:17 am EDT) in preparation for its New Moon on Sunday (10:33 am EDT). All told, when it does, we will have a total of six of the celestial bodies in “steroidal” Aries: the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Uranus. The Moon also conjuncts freedom-loving Uranus (9:46 am EDT) and squares intense, controlling Pluto (10:26 pm EDT). Also, Mars will be conjuncting high-voltage Uranus on Sunday.

Additionally, love maven Venus is forming a fortuitous, 60-degree aspect to transforming Pluto today. This aspect can magnetically boost our “power of attraction.” Venus-Pluto can also deepen our relationships and heighten our passions.

Too, Venus-Pluto aspects are often regarded as times when we may “meet our soulmates.” This is because in karmic astrology, Pluto is linked with our “past lives” and Venus, of course, rules love. Retrograde Mercury (which we also have now) has also been known to put “people from our past,” back into our orbit.

Venus Sextile Neptune: The Young and The Restless Debuts

“A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.” Charlie Chaplin

Couldn’t let this day pass without mentioning that December 23rd is the 37th anniversary of television’s, The Young and The Restless, which debuted back in 1973, and is still going strong.

Today, we’re also checking out some of the cosmic energy of that day, to see why maybe that show has endured for so long. And why it was perhaps able to “hook us” in the first place.

Mackenzie: “What does this mean – “wedding vows”‘?

J.T.: “Oh, Brittany wants me to help write hers.”

Mackenzie: “She wants you to help her?”

J.T.: “What, you didn’t think Bobby knew how to read or write?”

Mackenzie: “That’s mean.”

J.T.: “Yeah, it’s not far from the truth. But don’t worry.  I’m sure he’ll hire whoever writes those flyers for the strip club. It’ll be like the raunchiest vows ever, and I’m sure the minister will probably pass out.”

(From The Young And The Restless)

On December 23, 1973, when The Young and The Restless debuted, Venus, the mythological “Goddess of Love,” was exactly sextile “Fantasy” Neptune, the planet which also rules the television camera. Venus was in friendly, freedom-loving Aquarius. Aquarius is also a sign known for broadcasting and technology. Neptune was in wanderlust Sagittarius, a sign that is additionally very good at spinning imaginative tales and story lines. (The emotional Moon was also in “alibi” Sag that day.) The sextile is normally regarded as a more harmonious aspect of “opportunity.”

Venus-Neptune aspects tend to coincide with a mindset in which we are much more willing, and really wanting, to believe in “fairy tales” (escapist soap opera plots). We are also more inclined to want to search out an “ideal love.” No matter that the object of our desires may be “imaginary,” or otherwise “off limits” to us. Perhaps a hunky character on a soap opera?

Most of us have had imaginary lovers, at some point, in our lives. Wild fantasies about persons “unavailable” to us? George Clooney, of course, immediately comes to mind here. However, we existentially do know, in this particular case, that this “Clooney pipe dream,” may actually some day still come to pass. It could be that it just takes many more earthly incarnations to materialize.  But, it’s okay. We have the time. Rome wasn’t built overnight. Great things take time and careful planning. And, sometimes, a lot of fervent prayer. Along with daily visualization, meditation, and fasting. Occasionally we have to strike back-alley deals, too, with questionable saints, in order to get our needs met. (Would you believe, Neptune also rules saints and gurus, priestly-type figures? This is true.)

That is how Venus-Neptune tends to operate. It seldom ever “surrenders the dream.” Rarely quits on the “romantic illusion.” It will go to unbelievable measures to secure or retain its fantasy. Interesting to note here that Neptune also rules our “addictions.” Neptune, coincidentally, additionally depicts “real-life people” who are employed as actors, or other persons professionally engaged in careers that stoke our imagination, such as poets, dancers, and artists. So, we had more of a proclivity to “fall for” the “make-believe” characters in the show, with the program debuting when it did.

Neptune is also our magical “link to the divine” and whispers to us of having a “divine compassion” for all. Venus-Neptune can be highly compassionate. But, on the flip side, there is also the proclivity to “play martyr or victim.” Elements, too, that work very well in television-based soap operas.

Too, love maven Venus was in a tight harmonious trine to transforming, controlling Pluto in Libra when this show premiered. With Venus-Pluto, we usually fully experience all the highs and lows of romantic drama. The compulsiveness, the obsessions, the deepest of passions. Venus was also applying to a conjunction with expander Jupiter in Aquarius, considered to be one of the most romantic and fortuitous aspects of all, as Jupiter grows whatever it is paired with and aligned with romantic Venus, our love and affection knows no bounds. The Young and The Restless characters will also never run out of people to have “real or imagined” affairs with.

Lastly, Virile Mars, ruling sex and our physical desires, was also deposited in impetuous Aries ( the sign that it rules) at 29 degrees, the very last degree of the sign.  Making the young, “very restless.” And, ever more reason to watch them on TV.
