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!

Astrology June 24, 2011: Mercury Sesquiquadrate Vague Neptune

COSMIC WATCH:

“Confusion is a word we have invented for an order which is not understood.” Henry Miller

There are a few confusing or cryptic threads running through today’s cosmic forecast due to thinker Mercury in Cancer’s sesquiquadrate aspect to vague Neptune in “out to sea” Pisces. This is not a major influence, but nevertheless, it can create some misinterpretations or misjudgments, or communication snafus.

Basically, what we’re advised to do, as an antidote to this more ambiguous energy, is to simply clarify things as much as possible. In other words, give our tender brains a little gymnastics workout by asking questions or re-checking facts and figures, etc. This also sends a clear signal to the Universe that we are wise to its wicked shenanigans and that it best not mess with us. 🙂

Too, we have the impulsive Aries Moon chiming in here with a square to Mercury (1:30 pm EDT) which also suggests that we avoid making snap decisions on vital concerns, especially anything family or hearth-related, as remember, Mercury is in “there’s no place like home” Cancer. We also need to keep in mind that Mercury in Cancer has more of an emotional component to its style of thinking, so our feelings are more apt to permeate our thoughts now. We also tend to be more sensitive in our communications.

Later on, we do catch a lucky break with the Moon’s fun sextile to social, lovable Venus in cheery Gemini around mealtime (6:08 pm EDT), so we may want to cap off the workweek by going out to dinner with friends.Whenever Venus’s ray is kindly stoked, we have more of a desire for bonding and connecting. Venus rules our magical “power of attraction.” Venus is, however, also making a semi-square aspect to over-indulgent Jupiter in “jelly roll” Taurus (9:56 pm EDT), so we are urged to practice, at least, some measure of moderation.

“Be moderate in everything, including moderation.” Horace Porter

One more thing. If you’re a gardener, this is a great day to pull up weeds, as we have the Moon in a fire sign (Aries), along with a last quarter phase Moon, which means any weeds pulled now will take a while to grow back. This is because when the Moon is in its last quarter phase, there is a decline in energy, and a fire sign is also minus moisture. Also, a good day to mow the lawn for the same reason. Or, to get a haircut, if we do not want our hair to grow back fast.

Do you garden according to the Moon phases?

Enjoy your Friday!
