Cosmic Weather:

“If we try to hold on to so many things, both real and imaginary, thoughts and emotions, fears, worries and expectations, then we begin to weigh our hearts down and make our minds restless.” Gyalwa Dokhampa

Some mental restlessness, edginess, and impulsivity are possible as thinker Mercury, in transcendental Pisces, squares off with assertive Mars in curious Gemini (at 11:26 pm). This aspect typically denotes a more forceful, expressive (and possibly more argumentative) time for communications. It can also signify an avid thirst for learning or knowledge. However, some facts, data, or information could also be missing, confusing, or perhaps just too vague to understand or figure out now (Mercury in Pisces), so we may want to put off any important decision-making, until more is known. (“Sleeping on things” or meditating might also help to provide us with greater clarity now.)

The Waxing Moon (in its First Quarter phase) also exits home-loving Cancer and enters theatrical Leo today (at 5:56 pm).

On This Day in History: It was one year ago today, March 23, 2020, that the terrifying free fall for the U.S. stock market suddenly ended, ushering in one of its greatest runs. On March 23, 2020, the S&P 500 fell 2.9%. In all, the index dropped nearly 34% in about a month, wiping out three years’ worth of gains for the market. That turned out to be the bottom, even though the coronavirus pandemic worsened in the ensuing months and the economy sank deeper into recession. Massive amounts of support for the economy from the Federal Reserve and Congress limited how far stocks would fall. The market recovered all its losses by August. (From apnews.com)

Astrologically, on March 23, 2020, warrior Mars and transformational Pluto (in the business/government ruling sign of Capricorn) were exactly conjunct (to the minute!), that day, suggesting a period of symbolic death/destruction/implosion to be followed by a new rebirthing phase (conjunctions signify new beginnings). Too, Saturn “The Tester” (and the planetary ruler of Capricorn) had also just entered futuristic Aquarius, at zero degrees of the sign (a critical position). 

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

Astrology for January 8, 2019: Mercury in Capricorn Squares Mars in Aries

“It is in moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.” Tony Robbins

Mercury in Capricorn squares Mars in Aries:

We may feel more pressured or primed (Mars) to make decisions (Mercury) today. Including courageous, bold ones! Motivator Mars, the planet which deals with how we assert ourselves, is newly installed in self-confident, trailblazing Aries, the sign that it rules. Here, it is very fast-acting and very eager for new beginnings. Especially since it’s the start of a brand new year.

Thinker Mercury meanwhile, in professionally ambitious Capricorn, cognitively gets Mars enthusiastic drive, desire, and spirit to forge ahead (Capricorn is also an enterprising cardinal sign). Mercury in Saturn-ruled Capricorn, however, is wired to operate much more systematically or methodically, with a definite plan in hand, that carefully showcases all his neatly crossed t’s and i’s circumspectly dotted.

So, what to do to avert a potential ‘planetary shutdown’ between Mercury and Mars? 🙂

A winning solution here seems to be to find a way to combine the best attributes of each of these planets: When rendering any decisions, have a clear, detailed vision in your back pocket of where it is you want to go. Coupled with a realistic analytical assessment of the bevy of resources at your disposal (Mercury in Capricorn). Be willing to also step outside of your comfort zone and be adventurous! Make decisions that stretch your capacity and force you to grow (Mars in Aries).

Additionally, it is wise to keep in mind now that decisions made from a place of integrity inside ourselves will always leave us with a feeling of peace that we are on the right track. “A lot of the conflict you have in your life exists simply because you’re not living in alignment; you’re not be being true to yourself.” Steve Maraboli.

Possible Shadow sides of Mercury Square Mars: Displaying a “win at all costs mentality” that may ride roughshod over the views or opinions of others. Grandstanding. Throwing temper tantrums. Being argumentative. Letting our ego run the show. Refusing to collaborate. In other words, a fairly typical day in the brand new Congress on Capitol Hill! 🙂

Famous People with Mercury square Mars in their natal charts: Oprah Winfrey, Demi Moore, Randy Travis, Bjorn Borg, Tina Turner.

Famous Birthdays January 8: Elvis Presley, Stephen Hawking, David Bowie, R. Kelly, Kim Jong-un, Britton Buchanan.

“Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” Stephen Hawking

Hope it’s a great day for you, and that your destiny is shaped and supported in a positive way! I’ve missed you!

Astrology December 4, 2011: Mercury Squares Feisty Mars

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon in irrepressible Aries encourages us to be more assertive and active. A Mercury-Saturn semi-square, however, may mean that we may have some challenges getting others to agree with our brilliant ideas, as Mercury-Saturn tends to carry more of a disapproving theme to it. This same influence can also serve to awaken our own inner critic.

Too, retrograde Mercury, in blunt Sagittarius, is conjunct the Sun and square to feisty Mars, in correcting Virgo, so we will want to make sure that incendiary words do not needlessly inflame matters.  No doubt, a fabulous day to make frequent use of our system’s nifty, “pause button” feature – as a way to avoid impulsively engaging the venomous foot into the mouth. 🙂

“Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt.” Lao Tzu

Today’s Affirmation: I choose to use words that heal today instead of words that wound.

In the News: Sagittarius is the sign that governs politics. On Saturday, with the Sadge Sun separating from a square to action-oriented Mars, in critical Virgo, and decision-maker Mercury in Sagittarius, also applying to a square to Mars, Republican Presidential hopeful, Herman Cain, formally suspended his political campaign for 2012, citing the continued distraction of allegations of sexual misconduct and infidelity, allegations which he has repeatedly denied. Sun-Mars and Mercury-Mars aspects often correlate with our feeling pressured to take pivotal action on matters. Too, Cain’s poll ratings had been nosediving in recent weeks. The Moon was additionally in dissolving Pisces on Saturday, a time when things are often phased out.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Cosmic Word of The Day, June 10, 2010: Dust Mite, Dustmite

“When words are scarce they are seldom spent in vain.” William Shakespeare.

With the entrance of Mercury, ruler of words, into the dual-bodied sign of Gemini the Twins today, and its throwing of literary sextile aspects to voracious Jupiter and innovative Uranus in the new beginnings sign of Aries, I thought it would be timely to roll out a new daily blog entitled, “Cosmic Word of The Day.”

For this very first blog, I have chosen “Dustmite” or “Dust Mite” as the word (or words) of the day, in celebration of Mercury’s ingress into dual-natured Gemini.  In selecting this word, I am also keeping in mind Mars earlier passage this week into neat freak Virgo.

Also, tomorrow the dust will really be flying, as loquacious Mercury and warrior Mars will be squaring off in the heavens.

Perhaps, too, by choosing this word, dustmite, it will instill a fair amount of Saturnian guilt in all of us to do some thorough dusting and cleaning. You know, too, that guilt-monger Saturn is also still in fussy Virgo. (Also, please check out my daily astrology blog horoscope for today, June 10, for more on the infinite joys of vacuuming.)

Merriam-Webster’s Online Search describes dust mite as “any of various mites (especially from family Pyroglyphidae) commonly found in house dust.”

In closing, may this joyful Cosmic Word “dustmite” be with you till tomorrow, when we meet again, at which time I will have a new Cosmic Word ready and waiting for you.
