Cosmic Weather:

“It’s amazing how a little tomorrow can make up for a whole lot of yesterday.” John Guare

Lots going on in the heavens today! The Mars-Jupiter trine aspect, exact early this morning (1:14 am), can allow our actions to take shape more quickly (and possibly morph into something big). It can also find us more future-oriented, more amped up about moving toward our goals. Mars is also in cerebral Gemini which can help us to intellectually detach and ponder our plans from various perspectives.

Too, Mercury in Aries is sextiling both Jupiter in Aquarius (12:00 pm) and Mars (3:09 pm), potentially adding even more breadth and scope – plus punchiness – to our communications. Our words are direct yet we also seem to be able to couch them in a way that doesn’t alienate.

Later, thinker Mercury will form a square to “Darth Vader” Pluto (5:49 pm). On the plus side, this can serve to make us very probing or investigative which can help to deepen or strengthen our perceptions; this aspect can also aid in our becoming more aware of our hidden impulses. On the shadow side, it can (obsessively) put our focus on what is broken or not working, which potentially could be a bit of a mental drain if we linger there too long. Shifting to finding solutions, though, is usually a good way to help get us centered and back on track (especially now with Mars in clever Gemini). Sometimes, too, one cool way to problem-solve is to imagine how someone you admire or look up to might go about rectifying things.

“What you condemn you continue. Focus on where you want to go rather than what you want to get away from.” Alan Cohen

Meanwhile, Waxing Luna shifts from busybody Gemini to homebody Cancer (3:25 pm). She’s also still in her Crescent Phase (with 24% illumination from the Sun). With the Moon in Cancer, there’s more of an impulse to nurture or protect.

*All times EDT

Going on today: The British Royal Family is gathering for the funeral of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who passed away on April 9 at age 99 (b. June 10, 1921). Towards the end of the Second World War Prince Philip served in the destroyer HMS WHELP in the Pacific, and was present in Tokyo Bay for the Japanese surrender on September 2, 1945. Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth were married for 73 years.

“When we were married I don’t think there was such a thing as a platinum anniversary, they didn’t know we would be around that long.” Queen Elizabeth

Astrologically, Jupiter is the planet associated with official royalty (real kings and queens!) – and we have the Mars-Jupiter trine exact today helping to bring royal activities to the forefront. 

“It’s better to get out before you reach the sell-by date.” Prince Philip 🙂

May you rest in peace.

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

dreams, grounded, Mars trine Jupiter, Moon in Taurus, motivation, numerology, Scientists announce the first human stem cells cultured in a lab, self-confidence, taking action

Cosmic Weather:

Don’t you just love it when you drive your car into a packed parking lot and, suddenly,  another car pulls out from a parking space, exactly in front of where you want to go, and you’re able to get the spot? Well, today, kind of has that same “lucky” feel to it – right place, right time. Especially the first half of the day as transiting Mars in Leo forms a trine with Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (8:22 am).

This galvanizing planetary influence tends to energize (Mars) our faith, beliefs, self-confidence, and vision (Jupiter), thereby potentially supplying us with a motivating “can-do” spirit.

On another level, Mars-Jupiter aspects also often have a history of ushering in (Mars) new political (Jupiter) leadership, which is what we have just seen occurring in the UK (Boris Johnson), and also in Puerto Rico, with the governor there just announcing he’s stepping down.

Too, because it’s also the 25th day of the month (or a seven-day)  we additionally have more of an idealistic propensity (Neptune) now, which can also inspire us to want to “claim our dreams.”

Also, since we’re still in a waning lunar cycle and Mercury is retrograde, we should continue focusing our efforts on phasing things out or bringing ongoing matters to a completion.

The Waning Moon is also in plodding, practical Taurus the bull, all day, the sign of its “exaltation.” This should serve as a nice “grounding backdrop” for us. It can help us to be more “present in the moment.” Luna in Taurus especially favors engagement with nature as well as activities that indulge or delight our five senses.

“Flying starts from the ground. The more grounded you are, the higher you fly.” J.R. Rim

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On July 25, 1997, scientists announce the first human stem cells to be cultured in a laboratory using tissue taken from aborted human embryos.

Astrologically, on the day, pioneering Mars was in creative Leo (2 degrees) and exactly trine to transformational Pluto (ruling death and rebirth), at 2 degrees of futuristic Sagittarius.

“The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.” Anais Nin

Hope it’s a good one!

Today’s Astrology January 25, 2019: Mars Trines Expansive Jupiter!

astrology, daily astrology, daily horoscope, diplomacy, fanaticism, Mars trine Jupiter, Moon in Libra, sports, taking action

“The time for action is now. It’s never too late to do something.” Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Astrologically and metaphorically speaking, today could easily sub as the poster child for the Nike “Just do it!” slogan as we have action planet, Mars, harmoniously trined to expansive Jupiter, the planet of our dreams, goals, higher vision, and understanding. Jupiter also correlates with luck and prosperity. Whenever these two planets pair up, we’re usually more eager to act on our dreams. Often in bold ways! Perhaps even more so now as Mars and Jupiter are each transiting through their own signs, making their impact potentially more powerful. Mars is in initiating Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, and Jupiter is in visionary Sagittarius, the sign of higher education, learning, and travel. Aries and Sagittarius are also both fire signs. Fire signs are interested in direct, creative expression in the outer world. Mars in the sign of Aries can particularly be very pioneering. Highly adventurous. Very history-making! It’s always interesting to see what transpires, globally or collectively, whenever Mars rolls through Aries.  And, today, too, it’s aligned with abundant Jupiter! it could very well be that we’re on the threshold or verge of some major breakthroughs, or some very exciting discoveries!

Opportunities tend to manifest more quickly now, but they do need to be acted upon!  Now is not the time for procrastination! For those of us who may also feel less compelled to tackle any big stuff, at the moment, we still could take some kind of action now to further us along on our path. 

“There are two kinds of people. One kind, you can just tell by looking at them at what point they congealed into their final selves. It might be a very nice self, but you know you can expect no more surprises from it. Whereas, the other kind keep moving, changing… They are fluid. They keep moving forward and making new trysts with life, and the motion of it keeps them young. In my opinion, they are the only people who are still alive. You must be constantly on your guard against congealing.” Gail Godwin

Today is also excellent potentially for business expansion, negotiations, publishing, promotions, educational matters, travel planning, and involvement in sports. Mars governs sports and athletics, and when it’s aligned with enthusiastic Jupiter there can be an extra strong desire to break or set performance records. One other thing about Mars-Jupiter energy: When it’s taken to the extreme, it often becomes the epitome of fanaticism! Of course, in sports, fanaticism is probably an advantage, at least to a degree, because with it we’re likely more driven to win or succeed. But, when it comes to fanaticism in our daily lives, that’s another story, and also where things can get a whole lot dicier or complicated! Especially with respect to the topics of religion and politics. Both of those hot button areas are ruled by the planet Jupiter.

The Moon, meanwhile, is also in relationship Libra today endowing us with extra finesse and diplomacy for dealing with others. It’s also a nice influence for romance and socializing! “If I had a flower for every time I thought of you…I could walk through my garden forever.” Alfred Tennyson

Enjoy your day! Just do it! 🙂

Astrology July 17, 2012: “Extreme Makeovers” Mars, Jupiter and Pluto

astrology for july 17 2012, horoscope july 17 2012, makeover, Mars square Pluto, Mars trine Jupiter, self-renewal

COSMIC WATCH:

Mars, the planet of motivation, aligns with optimistic, expansive Jupiter and transformational Pluto today. For many of us, this may translate into an urge for an “extreme makeover” in some aspect of our lives. The desire for self-renewal is likely very keen now and may equate with our wanting to take some sort of bold, assertive action to bring it about. In some cases, too, this turnaround may come about for us without any seeming effort on our part, although if we go below the surface of things we may see that we have indeed been instrumental in bringing it about.

Simultaneously, we may also need to be more mindful and respectful of honoring other people’s boundaries now in our quest to get ahead. Otherwise, some fallout could ensue if we cross over the lines uninvited. Sometimes, on the shadow side, Mars-Pluto coincides with a clash of wills and power struggles, especially if we perceive we are being threatened or feel like we are being ignored. “I teach people how to treat me by what I will allow.” Stephen Covey

Famous July 17 Birthdays: Camilla, The Duchess of Cornwall, Phyllis Diller. “Most children threaten at times to run away from home. This is the only thing that keeps some parents going.” Phyllis Diller 🙂

In the News: Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke reportedly painted a more dismal picture of the U.S. economy to lawmakers today, alluding to a slowdown in economic activity and a continuing high unemployment rate (wsj.com)

Interestingly, Pluto rules not only debt, taxes, and other people’s monies, but also contractions and implosions. With Mars exactly squaring Pluto today, sometimes with this aspect our perception of what is “not working” or “broken” in our lives can become a major point of focus. Too, we often become much more cognizant of the need to take corrective measures to transform or overhaul things (the “rebirth” side of Pluto) under this influence. Also, Mars-Pluto, metaphorically, is often likened to a surgical procedure in that we remove what is diseased or toxic.

Since we also have Mars trining “big picture” Jupiter today, a very upbeat, visionary influence, we are reminded to keep an eye on our long-term vision now. Mars-Jupiter can be a phenomenal aspect for motivating us in a very self-confident manner, even if things around us may temporarily seem a little bleak or dissonant. “The reason birds can fly and we can’t is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.” J.M. Barrie

Astrology March 13, 2012: A Grand Earth Trine

astrology for march 13 2012, Grand Earth Trine, jupiter trine pluto, love, manifest, Mars trine Jupiter, Mars trine Venus, transformation, Venus conjunct Jupiter, Venus trine Pluto

COSMIC WATCH:

The “optimistic” Sagittarius Moon may find us wishing upon a star. It could be, too, that many of our wishes do come true now with a Grand Earth Trine, today through Thursday. Abundant Jupiter, romantic Venus, courageous Mars and reforming Pluto may serve as an auspicious springboard to help us manifest our financial and pleasurable intentions for ourselves.

This rare grand trine is potentially very transforming energy that can help to dramatically reshape our world in all sorts of wondrous ways. Also, hopefully allowing us to simultaneously spread our sphere of influence in a positive manner.

This is also an ideal period for achieving a deeper awareness of the mysteries of life, as well boding well for our being able to solve long-standing riddles, or ferret out what has previously been hidden from view, perhaps even tucked away in our own amazing depths. “He then learns that in going down into the secrets of his own mind he has descended into the secrets of all minds.” Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Famous birthdays March 13: Ron L. Hubbard, Walter Annenberg

News Update: Major stock indexes closed at multi-year highs today! Is it just a coincidence that we also have a grand trine in the earth signs now? 🙂

What kind of turnaround would you like to see in your life?
