“I love the challenge of starting at zero every day and seeing how much I can accomplish.” – Martha Stewart

This Tuesday morning, we step out of the gate with motivator Mars, in showy Leo, squaring everyone’s favorite optimist-junkie Jupiter – who is now officially headquartered in got-to-have Taurus. (1:13 am). Wanting to make a big splash in the world and spearheading things that generate seismic ripple effects, may simply be something too irresistible to pass up now. Especially if our lofty egos are involved! Too, while we may be able to pull off some whale-sized accomplishments, at the moment – particularly if we avail ourselves of opportunities that may suddenly appear before us – knowing when to dial it back a bit, may also prove to be a gallant strategy in the long run. Remember, Saturn’s rings are there for a reason!

Overall, though, this can be a fun and exciting day. Good for embarking on new adventures.

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, Wow! What a Ride!” – Hunter S. Thompson

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On May 23, 1900, the Associated Press News Service (AP) began in New York. Astrologically, at the time, the empowering Sun had just entered the news and information sign of Gemini (the day before). Expansive Jupiter and innovative Uranus were also conjunct in truth-seeking Sagittarius, a sign in which we aspire to stretch our world views as well as supply greater meaning and understanding to what Gemini has gathered.

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Cosmic Weather:

“Enthusiasm is a supernatural serenity.” Henry David Thoreau

There may be more of a tendency to assume “bigger is better” in all sorts of ways today, as well as perhaps a burning desire to want to “test our limits” (to get ahead) as energizing Mars, in self-willed Aries, forms an exact square with oversizing and expansive Jupiter Rx, in methodical Capricorn, a galvanizing aspect that can greatly fire up our levels of enthusiasm, motivation, and courage. Too, while we certainly can meet up with a notable amount of success today, due partly to our irrepressible “can-do” spirit, we may also want to make sure that we remember to temper our actions with at least some measure of good old-fashioned “Capricornian” common-sense so that we don’t get too carried away, or act too impulsively – typical shadow side manifestations of this particular planetary configuration. (We will also have this aspect a second time on October 19th, when Mars is retrograde.)

Orator Mercury will also be shifting into ostentatious Leo the Lion, late tonight (11:32 pm) for a two-week run.

*All times EDT

This Day in History: On August 4, 1862, the U.S. government collects its first income tax.

Astrologically, on that day, the authoritative Leo Sun was exactly square to transformational Pluto in “revenue conscious” Taurus. Often, Sun-Pluto aspects mark major turning points in life. (Pluto also rules taxes!) It should also be noted that Mars was in pioneering Aries then and separating from a trine to the Leo Sun, another indication of bold “new beginnings” in the works.

Hope you have a good one! Please be safe and well.

Cosmic Weather:

Today there’s a tendency to enthusiastically/optimistically take on more (Jup in Sag) than we can effectively handle, manage, or digest (Mars in Vir) so we need to be careful. Too, depending upon our level of zeal or passion for something, we may also be more inclined to make bold, sweeping changes, moves, or statements now, likely in a bid to assertively advance our cause(s). Our personal beliefs and/or personal philosophy of life might also be areas that we feel we must protect, defend, or explain now. That said, we can still probably get a lot accomplished today especially if we’re strategic, have a plan at hand, and remain mindful about what we’re committing to.

Meanwhile, the Moon also shifts into dreamy, transcendent Pisces, this morning, (5:51 am), in preparation for the upcoming Full Moon in Pisces on Saturday.

*All times EDT

Hope it’s a good one!

Astrology February 10, 2013: New Moon in Aquarius, Mars Squares Jupiter

“Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.” Tom Robbins

COSMIC WATCH:

Today’s New Moon in “experimental” Aquarius is a chance for us to symbolically wipe the slate clean and begin anew for another month. Even those of us wedded to certain agendas may find that this New Moon is an exhilarating template for doing some major or minor re-visioning of our plans or strategies. The Aquarian New Moon encourages us to throw out the old rules book in hopes of improving upon, or at least jazzing up, our present day reality. Too, we will individually want to see what house this lunation is falling in, in our personal horoscopes, as that is the area of life in which we may sense a shift beginning to take place and a real need for changing things up, or for trying out new approaches.

Ideally, this lunation will foster within us an empowering sense of wonderment about what might be possible for us if we but dared to abdicate, or at least temporarily suspend, our self-limiting judgments or beliefs, for a while, and moved instead in the direction of our grandest dreams and the Miraculous Unknown, where an endless array of possibilities are always given wings.

Too, our thirst or desire for new experiences, or new growth, is likely peaking now. Alongside this hopeful lunation, we have adventurous Mars in an exact square with expansive Jupiter. This galvanizing influence naturally poises us for risk-taking, although we will also want to make sure that we know what our end goals are, before getting into the game. Otherwise, we could find ourselves over-committing or over-promising, as Mars-Jupiter can make us overzealous and overconfident. It is, however, a very creative aspect and one that often allows us to move mountains.

We are also more inclined to let others know our opinions or viewpoints on things now. Some of us may even feel compelled to do a little preaching or proselytizing from the mountaintop, as we are busy moving it, as Jupiter governs our faith, higher convictions and overall philosophy of life. The idealistic Aquarius New Moon also potentially positions us to be involved with noble causes outside of ourselves. “Social entrepreneurs are not content to give a fish or teach how to fish. They will not rest until they have revolutionized the fishing industry.” Bill Drayton.

Famous Birthdays February 10: Robert Wagner, Glenn Beck, George Stephanopoulos. “I believe in original sin … I know that I’m capable of craving a cold beer in a village of starving kids … I understand that selfishness vies for space in our hearts with compassion …” George Stephanopoulos.

New Moon Blessings!

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon shifts from adventurous Sagittarius into controlled, responsible Capricorn (4:16 am EDT) although we still may be a little “over the top” today, as we have energizer Mars in ostentatious Leo forming a square to excessive Jupiter (the ruler of Sagittarius) in self-indulgent Taurus. Mars-Jupiter aspects tend to correlate with our going overboard. Or, wanting to do things on a lavish scale. Fascinatingly, Jupiter is also associated with royalty and when we had both Mars and Jupiter exactly conjunct in Aries, last spring, is when we had the elaborate Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Historically, Mars-Jupiter aspects are also linked with fanaticism or overzealous behavior, as we can become much more impassioned (Mars) about our beliefs or philosophy of life (Jupiter) with this influence.  Of course, with Mars ruling the aggressive urge, there is also the potential for our “martial impulses” to get out of hand, especially with the more frictional square alignment. Accordingly, it may be wise to keep ourselves on a fairly short leash today and to make a point to remember, and to display, our Libra manners.

Another complicating factor today is mental Mercury is also forming a 135-degree link to psychedelic Neptune which can blur or skew our thought processes.  The best advisory here may be to go with what is most logical for us to do and to avoid, altogether, the “wishful thinking” zone.

“Stop the habit of wishful thinking and start the habit of thoughtful wishes.” Mary Martin

Enjoy your Monday!

Cosmic Watch:

Fanatics in power and the funnel of a tornado have this in common – the narrow path in which they move is marked by violence and destruction.” – Oscar Otlund

Mars in Sagittarius square Jupiter in Pisces is exact on Monday, November 29th, 2010 (9:51 am), although this very potent influence is already applying and will be felt even for a few days after it is exact.

At its noblest, Mars square Jupiter can galvanize us to take “heroic action.” Mars, the planet of energy and adventure, can signify “acts of courage” and “bravery.”  Aligned with expansive Jupiter, which symbolizes our “higher beliefs” and “philosophy of life,” we are more willing to “crusade” or “go to bat” for whatever it is that we believe in. We may believe we are on a quest for the truth.

President Abraham Lincoln, for example, delivered the Gettysburg Address, one of the most inspiring speeches in American history, with Mars and Jupiter exactly conjunct in the heavens. Jupiter also rules political statesmen and public speaking.

We also seem to have more physical energy at our disposal with this aspect, as expander Jupiter “enlarges” whatever it touches, and linked with energizer Mars, the energy in the body mounts proportionately.

Mars-Jupiter is also associated with sports and athletics and potentially gives us a greater desire to want to excel/break records as our competitive spirit tends to be very high with this energy.

A common pitfall to this Mars-Jupiter energy is that we can go overboard or overexert ourselves physically.

Mars placement in “forward-thinking” Sagittarius likely focuses our attention on the future.  It is deemed to be visionary. We are potentially now thinking more about the long-term effects of our actions and how we can leave our imprint on the collective.

Of course, this Mars in Sadge desire to tangibly shape the future is magnified that much more now with Mars’ alignment with expansive Jupiter, the natural ruler of Sagittarius. Jupiter, too, is tucked away in dreamy, idealistic Pisces.

Jupiter, too, although generally regarded as a benefic planet with seemingly positive impact for our lives, on the shadow side, it can make us a little too full of ourselves, moralistic. Merged with high-octane Mars, we can more easily take issue with others’ beliefs or principles, feeling that we are justified in doing so, because we are only following “higher directives.”

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.
