“I was obliged to be industrious.  Whoever is equally industrious will succeed equally well.” Johannes Sebastian Bach


The fiery red planet Mars, signifying energy in the physical body, enters ambitious Capricorn today (6:49 pm EST), the sign of its exaltation, where it will stay until January 15, 2011.

Mars, which additionally governs the aggressive urge, is “tamed” or more “restrained,” when in Saturn’s neck of the woods.  Disciplinarian Saturn rules Capricorn, a sign associated with authority, business, and people in high places. Keywords for Capricorn are: “I use.” Mars in Capricorn is hugely talented at utilizing all of the resources at its disposal to get ahead.  Mars in Capricorn can be very “pioneering” and “enterprising” in business.  It is often a signature of an “executive.”

And, yes, on the shadow side, Capricorn energy can be equated with being “manipulative” or orchestrating situations to get an “unfair advantage” from time to time. No question about it, Capricorn does like its power, and the feeling of power, and doesn’t like being without it. So that is one thing we have to be careful about with Mars here.  That we don’t ride roughshod over others in our quest to get, or keep, our high-profile seat in the boardroom. Although, Mars in Capricorn characteristically tends to be pretty cautious, and will generally refrain from engaging in certain behaviors or improprieties out of fear of adverse consequences in the future. It tends to “naturally check” its own behavior, in other words, perhaps as part of its strong survival instinct.

On a collective level, Capricorn is also linked with government. And, even though assertive Mars is “more controlled” in Capricorn, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it is not interested in “spreading its sphere of influence” or “growing its dominance” in the world. It may be that a few governments around the world try to aggressively vie for more power now, but in a very strategic, well-thought out way, with Mars, again, ruling the need for assertion.

Last time Mars entered Capricorn on December 27, 2008, was exactly the same day that Israel reportedly initiated “Operation Cast Lead” in the Gaza Strip, after launching an extensive wave of airstrikes. Mars in Capricorn can denote a capable strategist or war general, whereas Mars in impulsive Sagittarius can sometimes symbolize a warrior zealously going off “half-cocked,” in search of the truth, without bothering to do the necessary due diligence, in advance, to ensure victory.

Too, we may want to pay closer attention to the world news with Mars’ pending conjunction with tyrannical Pluto, which will be exact on December 13th and 14th, although, for practical purposes, this influence is already starting to apply. Governments could get very aggressive in wanting to wield more power with this aspect. Capricorn is very concerned with self- preservation and security issues.

Also, we have the matter of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks front and center on the world stage, with Pluto ruling leaks and spying and espionage. Many governments, especially the U.S., are now grappling with serious intelligence issues and defense concerns (Pluto), in wake of all these cable leaks, and they may want to take some kind of swift action (Mars) as a result. Or, at least plot new strategies to deal with this emerging Plutonian-themed problem.

Pluto conjunct the North Node in Capricorn has correlated with an historic exposing of confidential government information, with aggressor Mars in fanatical Sagittarius square blabbermouth Jupiter, acting as the trigger point for it. What do they say, “Loose lips sink ships.” Have to wonder about the long-term implications of this WikiLeaks breach, and whether there may be new developments with the matter with Mars conjunct suspense-ruling Pluto, which loves to bulldoze and plunder.

Getting back now to a more personal level: With Mars in “reputation is so vitally important to me” Capricorn, we are wanting to put our energies effectively to use, in a practical way, so as to deliver more prestige and status to ourselves. We are inclined to believe that these two things will be natural byproducts, if we but apply ourselves and put our nose to the grindstone, and also, of course, hobnob around with important “movers and shakers.”

It could be, too, that we will want to become more involved in business networking efforts now, with Capricorn officially ruling “big business.” Especially with a new year on the way and its characteristic “new ambition.” Of course, Mercury retrograde (Dec. 10 thru the 30th) could impede or complicate some of our Mars in Capricorn ambitions to get ahead here, in the short-term, but Mars will still be in Capricorn for a couple weeks after Mercury stations direct, giving us lots of time to progress. Too, a lot of times with Mercury retrograde, we can still have great success in matters, we  just need to pay more attention to detail and following up on the execution of matters.

NEWS UPDATE 12/8/10: It was reported today that sympathetic supporters of WikiLeaks launched cyber attacks into MasterCard and Visa, and various other sites today as part of “Operation Payback.” I was thinking tonight that warrior Mars’ movement into Capricorn is sort of playing out here, initially anyway, as “war on big business,” as Capricorn rules business. It’s always very interesting to watch the events in the collective when Mars enters a new sign, as energizer Mars is such a catalyst for things to happen.

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope December 7, 2010: No Escape

“Life’s not always fair.  Sometimes you can get a splinter even sliding down a rainbow.” Terri Guillemets

Cosmic Word Of The Day: Saturnian

(Moon in Capricorn. Sun sextile Saturn. Moon square Saturn. Mars enters Capricorn.)

Saturnian: 1) of or pertaining to the planet Saturn 2) of or pertaining to the god “Saturn,” whose reign is referred to as the “golden age.”

“Well, unfortunately, the gig is up for many of us today.  It’s time to put away our coloring books and dump out the Kool-Aid and get serious about life.  There’s simply no escaping the clutches of Karma Lord Saturn, the Taskmaster, today. The old guy’s got his frickin’ fingerprints everywhere. What’s worse: He’s too cheap to paint his nails!

First, we have the Moon in Capricorn, Saturn’s sign. Then we have the Sun in Sagittarius sextile Saturn in Libra (3:01 am EST). Then sex pistol Mars attempts to enter or penetrate the “frigid waters” of Capricorn – and is shockingly successful at it (6:49 pm EST)! Lordy, lordy! Last, but not least, the Capricorn Moon squares Saturn (10:19 pm EST).

So, there you have it.  We have a Saturnian day to look forward to. Nose to the grindstone. Work, work, work, makes Jack a dull boy. Thanks to Saturn. No escape. No big hunk of cheese waiting for us. We’re not allowed to pass go or collect our $200. We’re barred from Boardwalk and Park Place. We’re trapped on Baltic Avenue. Saturn is squeezing out every last ounce of toil and sweat from us. And, the worst part of all: We don’t even have time to vacuum!” 🙂

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope November 5, 2010: Born Again Moon

04 Thursday Nov 2010

Anniversary of debut of board game Monopoly on November 5 1935, astrology, astrology for November 5 2010, astrology november 5 2010, astrology signs, board games, Boardwalk and Park Place, born again, channeling, conscious mind, estate matters, free horoscope, horoscope, horoscope for november 5 2010, horoscope november 5 2010, insurance matters, Mars in Capricorn, mars trine uranus, New Moon in Scorpio November 6 2010, Pluto in Cancer, psychotherapy, renewal, Scorpio Moon, scuba diving, seance, secrets, spying, subconscious, The Drifters, Under The Boardwalk The Drifters YouTube Video, uranus in taurus, Venus in Virgo, Venus sextile Pluto, weeding, zodiac, zodiac signs

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Emotional Moon enters “Re-birthing” Scorpio (2:16 am EDT), a place where she is gloriously “born again.” The Scorpio Moon is also readying herself for her monthly, renewing, “New Moon” phase, that will occur on Saturday (12:52 am EDT) at 13 degrees of the sign. New Moons signify “new beginnings,” so this one in “regenerating Scorpio” is suggestive of a “double dose” of rejuvenating energy.

Scorpio, the sign of life, death, and transition, symbolizes the elusive, subconscious region of our psyche, also referred to as the “sleeping mind.”

The Scorpio New Moon foreshadows a probing journey inside ourselves, to the very core of our being, that allows for us the chance to momentarily eye, and be altered by, that darker, mysterious chamber (the subconscious), that is normally sealed off to our conscious, waking self.

What inner treasures, within this “Sleeping Giant,” will the New Moon in Scorpio spy, and surreptitiously bring back with her, to the surface of our empowering consciousness, for us to stealthily pirate away? It could be that “only time will tell,” as “mum is the word,” always the word, for the Secretive Scorpio Moon.

What we want to do now is pay closer attention to the “unfolding events” in our lives, both internally and externally, over the next two weeks (from the New to Full Moon), and see how the changing landscape around us positively fits into our own quest for critical self-renewal.

Acitivities highlighted today: seances, channeling, psychic experiments, meditation, psychotherapy, treasure-hunting, antiquing, weeding, detox, spying and espionage, sharing secrets, scuba diving, plumbing, purging and recycling, reviewing insurance and estate matters, attending to joint financial matters.

Quote for the Day:

“If our subconscious was attractive, we wouldn’t have to bury it down deep within us.” Doug Coupland

This Date in History:

On November 5, 1935, Parker Brothers launches “Monopoly.” Venus, denoting activities “that we love,” was in analytical Virgo, a perfect sign for strategizing board games. Venus was exactly sextile to Transforming Pluto in “Real Estate Ruling” Cancer. Venus-Pluto can signify an all-encompassing, riveting passion.

Pioneering Mars was also in “All-Business” Capricorn and trine to “Risk-Taker” Uranus in “Acquisition-Minded” Taurus, fueling our materialistic desires to want to amass a “monopoly” of holdings. The Moon was also in “Fantasy-Loving” Pisces, kindling our preoccupation with “make believe” pastimes.

Since “Monopoly” was created, more than one billion people have played it, making it the most popular board game in history.

Happy 75th Birthday, Monopoly! And, many more.

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope October 18, 2010: Little Green Men

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Maternal Moon is holed up in Spaced Out Pisces and baking “funny-smelling brownies” in the kitchen.

The Sun in Marital Libra is in a queer quinqunx relationship with Adipose Jupiter, who is also in Inebriated Pisces and down to his last six-pack of beer.  Jupiter is already starting to get the shakes at the prospect of not having enough beer to see him through the start of another work week.

Mental Mercury in Romantic Libra is trining Hallucinatory Neptune, the dreamy planet of fantasy.

Our imagination is fired up.  At any moment, we’re expecting to be visited by “little green men,” with Jupiterian weight issues, coming to take us away in a giant spaceship to see, none other than,  George Clooney.

“George, don’t nod off!  We’ll be there shortly, dear. By the way, do you need us to bring you anything?  Like maybe milk or bread?”

Have some fun today!  Escape into your Neptunian imagination. Dust off your wings and play upon the clouds. Romance stars.

The main caution again today, with another quinqunx to over-optimistic Jupiter, is the tendency to “bite off more than we can chew.”  This is not a good time to be over-committing ourselves or our resources. The “shadow side” of Jupiter has a natural tendency towards waste and excess.

The energy today also inclines us to pursue more mystical and otherworldly paths, as Neptune and the Moon in Pisces, both represent our link to the Divine. Our psychic abilities may also be keener. A good day for ESP experiments and also for examining our dreams.

Today’s Quote For The Day:

“There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds.” G.K. Chesterton

On This Date In History:

On October 18, 1922 the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) forms. Mental Mercury, which rules reporting, was in “Fair and Balanced” Libra (like today) and also in aspect to Imaginative Neptune, which was in Leo, the sign of entertainment. Mercury-Neptune is a premier influence for being able to “weave magic through words and speech.” It is synonymous with story-telling. A lot of poets, writers, actors, artists and songwriters have Mercury-Neptune in their horoscopes. Mercury-Neptune provides us with a rich, inner vision.

Also, just like the present, the Airy, Intellectual Libra Sun was aligned with Expansive Jupiter, but this time it was a powerful conjunction aspect with the planet, as Jupiter was also in Libra. The Sun and Jupiter are the two largest bodies in our solar system and when you have them side by side with each other there is the potential for “big things to happen,” “big empires to be formed.” Jupiter characteristically “over-sizes” whatever it touches.  The nature of Philosophical Jupiter is also scholarly and academic, it wants to “broaden our horizons.” The Sun-Jupiter conjunction is perfect for an informative broadcasting outlet.

Speaking of broadcasting, Technology Wizard Uranus, which rules broadcasting, was in Idealistic Pisces and harmoniously trine to renovating Pluto in Parental Cancer. Uranus trine Pluto is a very transforming energy, and the BBC has had transformational impact on the collective as an authoritative dispenser of the news and events of the day.

Additionally, Ambitious Saturn was also in Libra ( like today) and exactly square to Master Spy Pluto, an aspect which is excellent for “ferreting out the truth.” Saturn gives form, structure, and discipline to Pluto’s depth. The Moon was also in Analytical Virgo, good for fact-finding information. Pioneering Mars in Business-Minded Capricorn was also square to the Sun, injecting strong enthusiasm and a trailblazing spirit to the operation. Mars gives a burning desire to “want to be first,” at whatever it does.

Patricia’s Astrology: October 15, 1969 “The Vietnam Moratorium”

15 Friday Oct 2010

On This Date In History:

October 15, 1969 – The “Vietnam Moratorium” is held.  Millions of people protest the war (including Bill Clinton, who was a student at Oxford then). In the heavens, passionate “Warrior” Mars in Capricorn, the sign of government, is exactly square to “Philosophical” Jupiter in Libra, the sign of peace and diplomacy.

“Mars-Jupiter” is an aspect with a great history of “firing up our passions and idealism.” Mars, the energy planet, energizes whatever it touches and Jupiter represents our moral beliefs.  We are willing to “do combat” (Mars) for “what we believe in” now (Jupiter), similar to the energy of today’s Aquarius Moon which speaks to us about getting involved in causes “greater than ourselves.” With the Vietnam Moratorium, the protesters peacefully dissented (diplomatic Libra) against the “war policies”of the government (Mars in Capricorn). Mars rules war and the military.

Often Mars-Jupiter is associated with “religious fanaticism,” too, as Jupiter rules religion, and the nature of  Jupiter is such (especially when it is aligned with energizer Mars) that we can easily “go overboard” and get “carried away” with whatever we are involved with.

Even though Jupiter is an “expansive influence,” and more of a “benevolent planet,” sometimes the pitfall with it is we do not know when to “rein ourselves in.” For example, Jupiter is also associated with obesity and excess. We can’t stop with just “one jelly doughnut,” we have to consume a whole dozen! So, moderation is often needed and called for with Jupiter, if we are going to judiciously utilize the opportunity energies of this great planet to the best capacity.
