communication, daily astrology, H G Wells War of the Worlds radio broadcast, Mercury conjunct Venus, persuasiveness

Cosmic Weather:

Today, we’re possibly more receptive to discussing, articulating, or investigating (Mercury) matters of an intimate, hidden, or private nature (Scorpio), that we normally might shy away from, and do so in a manner that is less likely to alienate or create any kind of negative fallout for us. Even if we do encounter a bumpy patch or two here, we’re more likely to know how to intuitively placate or smooth out things pretty quickly and effectively now.

In fact, it may be a lot easier to more effortlessly arrive at some points of agreement or understanding partially because our words/ideas/points of view seem to possess a special healing or therapeutic quality about them (Venus in Scorpio), as well as conveying a certain element of truth that others perhaps find easier to resonate to, even if they possess viewpoints radically different or in opposition to ours.

Too, it’s possible that what is discussed or agreed to now may be altered or revised a bit, down the road, as Mercury will be stationing retrograde, tomorrow.

“Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world. Don’t let anything stand in the way of the light that shines through this form. Risk being seen in all of your glory.” Jim Carrey

*All times EDT

Question for Today: What would you like to reveal about yourself that you believe would be very freeing for you?

On This Day in History: On October 30, 1938, a radio broadcast of H.G. Wells, “The War of the Worlds,” narrated by Orson Welles, allegedly causes mass panic. The headline on the front page of The New York Times, the next day, read: “Radio Listeners in Panic, Taking War Drama as Fact.”

Astrologically, in the sky then, expansive, over-the-top Jupiter, in broadcast-ruling Aquarius, was exactly quinqunx foggy, delusional Neptune, the planet of fantasy or make-believe, in fact-based Virgo.

“This is Orson Welles, ladies and gentlemen, out of character to assure you that The War of the Worlds has no further significance than as the holiday offering it was intended to be. The Mercury Theatre’s own radio version of dressing up in a sheet and jumping out of a bush and saying “Boo!” Starting now, we couldn’t soap all your windows and steal all your garden gates by tomorrow night, so we did the best next thing. We annihilated the world before your very ears, and utterly destroyed the Columbia Broadcasting System. You will be relieved, I hope, to learn that we didn’t mean it, and that both institutions are still open for business. So goodbye, everybody, and remember, please, for the next day or so, the terrible lesson you learned tonight. That grinning, glowing, globular invader of your living room is an inhabitant of the pumpkin patch, and if your doorbell rings and nobody’s there, that was no Martian; it’s Halloween!” (Wikipedia)

Hope it’s a good one!

Today’s Astrology September 13, 2019: Mercury-Venus, Sun-Pluto

daily astrology, diplomacy, Mercury conjunct Venus, relationships, Sun trine pluto, treasure hunt

Cosmic Weather:

Today, it appears, we may be able to smooth out some wrinkles on the relationship front, and play nice with each other, for at least a while, as communicator Mercury forms a soothing conjunction to charmer Venus in conscientious Virgo (11:10 am). Mercury-Venus aspects tend to inspire us to seek out more points of agreement, or to find ways to be diplomatic. It’s also usually an excellent time to articulate our feelings, something that’s not often easy for many of us to do. This aspect can also inspire us to want to be surrounded by beauty, in all its many splendid shapes, forms, or guises. It’s fascinating, too, how when we put ourself in a more agreeable or pleasant environment how our mood will often almost immediately change for the better. Kind of like how stepping outside on a sunny day gives us a lift.

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a
listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all
of which have the potential to turn a life around.” Leo Buscaglia

The empowering Sun in self-improvement Virgo is also trining transformational Pluto Rx, in ambitious Capricorn (3:42 pm). This is potentially a very super cool influence for being able to help take us “to the next level,” in our ongoing, often mystifying evolutionary journey on the dense earth plane. Too, the Sun-Pluto energy is often sometimes a bit like a “treasure hunt,” in the sense that we may be able to finally locate/spot/identify now something that has previously managed to elude us. It’s like, suddenly, we’re ready to know more about the matter and, we also sense, that this new knowledge or awareness, may have important ramifications for us, down the road. Also, this is an aspect that can help us to “step into our power.”

Favored activities for today: catching up on correspondence; writing love letters, poetry; studying geology; doing excavation work; detox efforts; incorporating healthier foods or exercise into our diet; making improvements in the workplace; talking to recruiters, updating our resumes, or doing job searches; engaging in negotiations; creating succession plans; handling insurance or tax matters.

*All times EDT

Hope it’s a good one!

Astrology May 16, 2011: Neptune Sextiles Mercury and Venus

COSMIC WEATHER:

“We must combine the toughness of the serpent with the softness of the dove, a tough mind and a tender heart.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

The Moon continues her passage through “tough cookie” Scorpio. However, it’s all simply a charade. An orchestrated ruse. This is because, inside of us, our tender hearts are melting like butter today. Not only do we have Mercury (thoughts) and Venus (love) exactly conjunct in docile Taurus, making us charming and lovable, we also have hypnotic Neptune, signifier of illusion, dreamily sextiling both of them from aquatic (fishy) Pisces.

Neptune-Mercury allows us to inspire and weave magic with our words. While Neptune-Venus snares us in with seductive, romantic fantasies. It is nothing short of miraculous how we are able to captivate and put others under our spell now. Even George Clooney is swimming around us in a glass half full. “Be right with you, George. No need to abscond with a shallow mermaid. We’re worth waiting for, George. You see, we have depth. Plenty of depth. And character.” 🙂

Seriously, the cosmic energy around us today is super cool for letting our imagination run wild. We need to tap into our personal creativity now and use it as a major form of our self-expression.  We are also capable of much more compassion and idealism now, if we but open our hearts and reach out to others.

Astrology May 17, 2011: Full Moon in “Hidden” Scorpio

“Life has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by living.” Soren Kierkegaard

There’s a Full Moon at 26 degrees of Scorpio today (7:10 am EDT). Briefly, a Full Moon represents a culmination or peaking of awareness. With a Full Moon we are often more privy to revelations, as we have “more light” by which to see things. The volume on our emotional responses (Moon) may also be turned up.

Scorpio, as a quality of experience, is associated with intensity of expression, and also extremes of behavior. It is a more complex sign to figure out. The natural ruler of Scorpio is Pluto, which is known for its’ laser-like focus. When the Moon is in Scorpio, there is a greater depth of feeling and passion to us, and consequently we tend to react more powerfully to matters. Unfortunately, emotional outbursts can also manifest, if we are not careful to rein ourselves in. The Scorpio Moon additionally likes power and to be in charge, which means on the shadow side, we often need to simultaneously subdue our feelings of control or manipulation. Jealousy and possessiveness are also two other issues that many of us characteristically wrestle with when the Moon is deposited here.

Scorpio as a zodiacal sign stands guard over those areas of life that are normally hidden from view, such as our mind’s subconscious. It also governs intimacy and sex, or what is often expressed privately “behind closed doors.” Scorpio, as the opposite sign to money and possession Taurus, additionally depicts our attitudes concerning the sharing of our material resources with others, and is related to such mundane things as joint bank accounts and jointly-held possessions.

Since Scorpio presides over death (or the dissolution of form) and rebirth, it is also connected to insurance and estate matters. It also rules taxes, surgery, and regenerative healing techniques. Scorpio is furthermore linked to psychic development, channeling, and the spirit world, and to metaphysical matters in general. Its intrinsic approach is always to “go deep” and ponder mysteries wherever they may be found.

With the Full Moon falling in Scorpio, it could be that some or many of the areas above may be more highlighted now. We are also more likely to be in touch with our deepest, most passionate desires (Scorpio) or innermost feelings at this time. We may also have to address issues from our buried past (with Scorpio they often suddenly rise to the surface). Or possibly face the truth about things that we have been avoiding. Again, too, the Scorpio Full Moon can easily solicit overreactions from us, especially if we are not mindful of our behavior.

Too, the Full Moon now could mark transitions or endings, or pivotal turning points (Scorpio). This Scorpio Full Moon is also making a challenging square to vague, dissolving Neptune in surrendering Pisces. It is additionally forming a tight quinqunx (adjustment aspect) to excessive, boastful Jupiter in impulsive Aries (sign of the military), cautioning us not to go overboard or gamble unwisely with our resources. Also, with Neptune’s “veiled ray” on the scene, we may need to guard against being hoodwinked or misled by others. We also would be wise, ourselves, to avoid doing anything that is nefarious or deceitful. Sometimes, too, with Neptune, we unwittingly lead others on by not being in full possession of all the facts. We simply spew out misinformation or just perceive things in a distorted way.

On a more positive note, this lunation still finds Mercury (thoughts) and Venus (beauty and love) side by side in gentle, laid-back Taurus, a very creative sign, and both in a harmonious, compassionate sextile to imaginative Neptune. Taking the time to put into words, our deep love and affection for each other, and engaging in random acts of love and kindness (Neptune), can have very uplifting consequences for all of us now. Also, this aspect is excellent for creating or purchasing art or other objects of beauty, including adding a few “to die for” items to our wardrobe. Too, with the rejuvenating properties of the Scorpio Moon also involved, now would be an ideal time for age-defying beauty treatments or makeovers. Neptune also rules cosmetics, and all manner of masquerade and disguises. It is interesting, too, how when we do alter our outward appearance, we often are related to differently.  In other words, it sets the stage for transforming responses from others.

“Men and women belong to different species, and communication between them is a science still in its infancy.” Bill Cosby 🙂

BTW, I read the other day that Oprah Winfrey (who has facilitated many personal makeovers through her show) plans to tape her talks shows for airing May 23rd and May 24th, on May 17th, at a special arena in Chicago, which will be able to hold over 20,000 of her fans. As an astrologer, of course, I immediately thought about the intensely emotional Scorpio Full Moon in affect and its fitting tie-in with poignant, transforming events, including farewells (endings). Too, with Mercury conjunct Venus in Taurus sextile idealistic, otherworldly Neptune (Neptune also rules the television camera), no doubt that Oprah will be magically “feeling the love” then from her audience and also the camera will be able to masterfully capturing the surreal (Neptune) images of this singular event.

As most of us know who faithfully watch Oprah, she is signing off with her daily syndicated talk show on May 25th, after being on the air for 25 years. She will still be actively involved with broadcasting, however, running her OWN network. Oprah has “Karma Lord” Saturn in Libra transiting at the very top of her chart now, near her tenth house of career. Often a time when one’s highest professional achievement is recorded.

Too, on May 25th, again the last day for the Oprah Show, the Sun will also fascinatingly be in communications Gemini and exactly sextile to futuristic Uranus in new beginnings Aries, signaling that some “big change is in the air.” Uranus also rules television broadcasting. The Sun-Uranus aspect also tends to coincide with more “unusual” or “out of the ordinary” (Uranus) events, and May 25th will, no doubt, go down in broadcast history as the day Oprah officially ended her talk show.  The Moon will also be in reflective, sentimental Pisces that day. We wish Oprah all the best, but at the same time, we will miss her daily show. Afternoons will no longer be the same without her beaming, re-assuring presence lighting up the television screen.

Astrology May 6, 2011: “Get Ahead” Moon Sextiles Mars, Jupiter, Mercury

COSMIC WEATHER:

“That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.” Abraham Lincoln

We have a “trifecta” of a day today with the galloping Gemini Moon sextiling Mercury (ideas), Jupiter (opportunity), and Mars (initiative) in “race to the finish line” Aries. This is a fantastic time to unabashedly promote ourselves (Aries), our pet projects, and our ideas (Gemini). We can be much more convincing now and much more enthusiastically received. Very likely to make a positive first impression.

Also, communicator Mercury’s conjunction to “goddess of love and beauty” Venus bodes well for “affairs of the heart” and discussion of romance.  It can also be a highly creative influence. An ideal day for writing (Gemini). Might also be an excellent time to go shopping for clothes or things of beauty for the home (art, decorative items). The Moon also shifts into homebody Cancer, late in the day (10:32 pm EDT), forming a cocooning trine to fantasy Neptune (11:54 pm EDT).

Famous Taurus Birthdays May 6th: Tony Blair (58), George Clooney (Big 5-0!) Love you, George! With all of my heart. Hope it’s a good one. 🙂

Saturn-Uranus 2010: New Same-Sex Hospital Rules

16 Friday Apr 2010

Posted by Patrice Thompson in April 2010 Astrology

astrology, Astrology 2010, astrology signs, gay and lesbian relationships, gay issues, health care, horoscope, hospitals, Jupiter in Pisces, love relationships, Mercury conjunct Venus, Mercury in Taurus, Mercury sextile Jupiter, news, Pisces rules hospitals, politics, President Obama changes same sex hospital rules, same sex issues, Saturn in Virgo, Saturn in Virgo opposite Uranus in Pisces, Uranus brings change, Venus in Taurus, Venus sextile Jupiter, Virgo rules health care, Wall Street Journal article

President Obama ordered new rules Thursday allowing for “same sex hospital visits.”  The new regulations give gays and lesbians the right to visit their partners in the hospital and have input into their care.  This marriage benefit has been something that has not always been extended to gay couples.

“Gay and lesbian Americans…are often barred from the bedsides of the partners with whom they may have spent decades of their lives-unable to be there for the person they love, and unable to act as a legal surrogate if their partner is incapacitated,” Mr. Obama said in his order according to the online Wall Street Journal.

These new rules come on the heels of Saturn’s retrograde back into the sign of Virgo (Virgo rules health) and its opposition to change-agent Uranus in Pisces (Pisces rules hospitals).  Saturn pertains to rules and established protocol while oppositions bring about “turning points.” Uranus, as ruler of the expanded, liberated collective Aquarius, would be representative of gays and lesbians here.

Rebel Uranus characteristically attempts to overturn the structure that Saturn has put into place, especially when that structure has the affect of “stifling or repressing” individual self-expression. In this instance, Uranus in Pisces served as a catalyst for changing the rules (Saturn) that hospitals (Pisces) have traditionally followed, regarding the dissemination of health care services (Virgo).  Uranus in Pisces triggered the need for new policy with a wider application among a diverse population group. The present Saturn opposition to Uranus formally “finalized” this policy change.

Additionally supportive for the implementation of these new rules: Venus, which rules love relationships, and Mercury, which governs thinking, are conjoined now in practical, workable Taurus. Both planets are also harmoniously sextile to expansive Jupiter in Pisces, the sign of hospitals. Venus aligned with Jupiter is traditionally regarded as one of the “luckiest aspects” in astrology, bringing about favorable conditions and circumstances.  So, on the surface, this would seem to be an especially good time (Jupiter) to usher in new guidelines (Mercury) pertaining to “intimate couples” (Venus). Jupiter’s ray is such that it tends to have a broadening or growth affect on the areas or activities that are ruled by the sign that it is passing through.  Jupiter intrinsically represents and fosters new growth opportunities and generally coincides with a more optimistic outlook.
