“I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can’t see from the center.” Kurt Vonnegut

COSMIC WATCH:

Two Planets

Coming on the heels of yesterday’s “empowering” Sun trine Uranus, today we have “intellectual” Mercury trining Uranus, in “pioneering” Aries (10:44 pm EST), as both the Sun and Mercury are pretty much moving in tandem through “futuristic” Sadge, at the moment. In general, Mercury-Uranus aspects help to “speed up” our thought processes. They can also activate our Uranus-ruled intuition spawning exhilarating “aha moments.” Uranus, the planet of change and innovation, is regarded as the “higher octave” or “higher expression” of Mercury, which represents our thoughts, ideas, and communication. Uranus is also linked with genius or brilliance, originality, and what could be characterized as more “radical-type” perceptions.

Needless to say, today is an excellent time to consciously “stretch our mental horizons,” which we could attempt to do in a myriad of ways, such as, perhaps, reading or immersing ourselves in the works of great writers, thought leaders, scientists, philosophers, etc. It’s also a perfect period for brainstorming, or for “out of the box” problem-solving. Too, Mercury-Uranus can serve to align our thinking with ideas or gleanings about what is “best for the collective,” or “society as a whole,” as Uranus, the ruler of “group-oriented” Aquarius, poises us to naturally think of the broader impact of things, and not just about ourselves.

This is also the first full day of Mars in “experimental” Aquarius. Mars is also involved in a creative “quintile aspect” with Uranus, seemingly making, today, even more “cutting edge,” in many ways. Quite fittingly, the first test flight of NASA’s Orion spacecraft launched successfully, this morning, from Florida’s Cape Canaveral. While today’s “unmanned” flight reportedly carried a cookie from Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster, future launches are expected to carry people to asteroids, the Moon, and hopefully – even to Mars – if all goes as planned. Pretty exciting – and all very Uranian-sounding! When man first landed on the Moon, “fortuitous” Jupiter was exactly conjunct Uranus at 0 degrees of Libra. Mars was also sextiling this conjunction from 2 degrees of “travel-related” Sagittarius. The signs Sagittarius and Aquarius are both related to space travel.

Question for Today: If you could swap places with any of the great figures in history, for a day, who would you select?

Famous December 5th Birthdays: Walt Disney, Little Richard, Strom Thurmond, Otto Preminger.

“A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted for insight and
understanding.” Marshall McLuhan

COSMIC WATCH:

Even though the Moon is in cautious Capricorn, and the empowering Sun is aligned with serious Saturn, we are still receptive to new approaches today, as mental Mercury is exactly trine radical Uranus, a planetary aspect linked to invention and genius. This is a good day for cognitive shifts (epiphanies), and for trying out different perspectives. “Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand.” Henry David Thoreau

Famous December 14 Birthdays: Nostradamus, Patty Duke. “I’ve come to believe that whoever I am didn’t start on December 14, 1946, and isn’t going to end on whatever that mysterious date is in the future.” Patty Duke

Astrology November 3, 2011: Mercury and Venus Trine Uranus

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon sticks around for another day in “progressive” Aquarius, ideally poising us to be more accepting of change and also more detached with our emotions. She is also getting friendly backup by relationship Venus and thinker Mercury. Both of these planetary bodies are now situated in exploratory, truth-seeking Sagittarius, and both are exactly trine to innovative Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius.

When Venus and Uranus are aligned, we generally tend to be more free-spirited in our love or social lives, which can often translate into a desire to engage in exciting or thrilling new pastimes or adventures. Sometimes, too, we are more tempted to defy or ignore the rules of convention, with this influence, especially as they pertain to our romantic or social behavior, as Uranus governs the urge for freedom and individuality.

Too, on Venus-Uranus days, we often find issues concerning gay rights or sexual equality coming to the forefront of the collective. Fascinatingly, the late actress, Elizabeth Taylor, was also born on a day when Venus and Uranus were exactly conjunct in pioneering Aries and we all know about her tireless and heroic efforts for AIDS and equality issues, especially the latter portion of her life. She also had a striking, electrifying (Uranus) appearance and Venus affects one’s physical beauty and fashion. Accordingly, it might be a fun day for us to spice up our appearance or wardrobe in novel ways. BTW, the late Johnny Cash, also had the same Venus-Uranus conjunction and he always dressed in black to distinguish himself.

The Mercury trine Uranus aspect today is also helpful in connecting us with our inner genius or brilliance. It naturally primes us to think “outside of the box.” It can also facilitate our intuition, which Uranus governs, paving the way for sudden breakthroughs and plenty of “aha moments.” With Uranus additionally ruling technology it may be a good day to purchase new electronic gadgets or for figuring out matters of a technical nature.

Mercury also rules communication and deposited in articulate, idealistic Sadge, this may be a perfect time to sound off with a letter to the editor, or for airing our views or vision for the world in general. Sagittarius also rules politics and things seem to really be heating up now, in that arena, esp. on a Presidential campaign level in the U.S., with prior sexual harassment allegations against Herman Cain coming to light with the Venus (in sexual Scorpio) square Neptune aspect, at the start of the week. Neptune’s nebulous ray is often involved in scandals and smear campaigns.

Also today, the Aquarius Moon is making a positive trine to stabilizing Saturn in partnership Libra (1:06 pm EDT), the sign of the public. This influence can help to steady our relationships. It’s also a good time to roll out public relations campaigns or for trying diplomatic gestures.

“To say nothing, especially when speaking, is half the art of diplomacy. “ Will Durant

In the News: The G-20 economic summit kicks off today in Cannes, France, bringing together leaders from around the world, including President Obama from the U.S. and President Sarkozy of France. Interestingly, Venus rules money and finance, and Mercury governs meetings, and both are now newly deposited in Sagittarius, a sign associated with foreign travel and international dealings. Too, with Venus and Mercury both trine to brilliant Uranus, and the Moon in clear-thinking, strategizing Aquarius, perhaps some forward-thinking progress will be made on world economic issues. We can at least hope, that this will be the case. Of course, regarding our own personal money management, we may also want to institute some new moves or strategies today. Maybe also ferret out new ways to make money.

Financial News Update: NYTimes.com is reporting today (12:46 pm EDT) that the Greek Prime Minister is calling off the referendum on the Euro Bailout Plan, which likely will be a stabilizing factor for financial markets. Interesting that this news item is being reported, too, with the Moon’s harmonious trine to Saturn, which can again serve to steady things.

Entertainment News: Simon Cowell announced on the X-Factor last night that the program had been picked up for another season, much to his delight, especially since the show is, reportedly, his own brainchild. When the X-Factor debuted in the U.S. on Sept. 21st, adventurous Mars was at 2 degrees of entertainment Leo and exactly trine to Uranus in Aries, an excellent influence for a show trying to discover very original (Uranus) talent (Leo). Also, Simon’s announcement last night came with Mercury (rules news and announcements) and Venus (governs artists and performers) in Sagittarius and both exactly trining Uranus once again. Also, with both of these planets creating a very propitious grand trine with Mars and Uranus in the natal X-Factor horoscope. As an astrologer, it is always so fascinating to see how the cycles play out and to watch things come full circle.

Do you watch the X-Factor? Do you have a favorite artist on the show? I think Drew is my favorite, although all the performers are extremely talented. It would be fun to know all of their birth times and take a look at each of their natal horoscopes. I would also like to see L.A. Reid‘s chart, he is so dynamic and cool. I love watching his physical expressions on the show when he really gets immersed in the performances.

Enjoy your Thursday!

COSMIC WATCH:

“Eventually you can get into the nuts and bolts of reality: nurturing, caring, and getting along.” Jody Watley

Love Goddess Venus enters self-protective, security-conscious, “Cancer the Crab,” the sign of home and family today. She will stay in Cancer until July 28th. Venus in Cancer inspires our deeper nurturing and caring impulses, and also heightens our desire for nesting and privacy.

Venus is also trine idealistic Neptune, in tender-hearted Pisces, making us extra forgiving, as well as more “fantasy-prone” in romance. This is a highly creative aspect that is excellent for any activity that calls for the full employment of our imagination. Many artists, musicians, writers, film-makers, and dancers will often have Venus-Neptune aspects prominent in their horoscopes, including the late Hans Christian Andersen, the Danish “fairy tale writer,” famous for his children’s stories.  Too, Venus trine Neptune is a classic aspect of “fairy tale romance,” so there’s a nice, synchronistic tie-in here.

We addtionally have intellectual Mercury in dramatic Leo making a fortuitous trine with brilliant Uranus in adventurous Aries. Uranus governs genius and intuition, so it’s possible that today will provide fertile ground for a plethora of “aha moments” to occur.

The Moon will also be in theatrical, glamorous Leo all day, favorable for parades and other “Fun Fourth” celebrations. Later tonight, she will shift into immaculate, attentive Virgo (9:16 pm EDT) to tidy everything up.

Famous people with Venus in Cancer: Meryl Streep, Clint Eastwood, Cameron Diaz, Lena Horne, Martin Sheen.

Happy Fourth of July!

COSMIC WEATHER:

New Moon in Re-birthing Scorpio. Focusing our attention on transformation, Ouija boards, and wrinkle-removing beauty products.

Mental Mercury is in an exact square to Delusional, Spaced Out Neptune.  The sky above us is suddenly a deep shade of purple. We also believe we possess a magical ability to levitate our toes way above the clouds.

Mercury in Transitioning Scorpio is also trine to Genius Uranus in Divinity Pisces. We are able to channel Einstein and Edison.  But still, the winning lottery numbers, manage to elude us.

(Also, with contract-ruling Mercury “in a fog” with Neptune, it may be best to postpone signing important contracts today, as pivotal information may be missing, or could possibly be misrepresented. Agreements could also be misconstrued.  Mercury-Neptune is associated with “deceit” and “fact-twisting,” as well general “mental confusion.”)

Activities Highlighted today: Rummage sales, purging and recycling, channeling spirits, pruning, weeding, painting, writing, acting, poetry, film-making, dancing, figuring out technology, intuition, deep skin massage, meditation.

“Home is not where you live, but where they understand you.” Christian Morganstern


COSMIC WEATHER:

Moon leaves Communicative Gemini for Homebody Cancer (5:50 pm EDT) activating a rare, historic, Cardinal Grand Cross in the sky.  Connection Queen, Venus, leaves Virginal Virgo for Romantic Libra (11:48 pm EDT), assuming a place at the Grand Cross table as well.  Eccentric Uranus is eyeballing perfectly coiffed Venus from across the table and smiling at her with spinach in his teeth. Ugh!!!

“We’re home alone.

In bed.

Late at night.

Under the covers

In our polyester pj’s.

Almost dozed off and starting to peacefully dream about George Clooney.

When the frickin’ dog barks and woefully scares away poor George.

Rats!!!

We then hear a loud noise downstairs.

And voices, and music playing.

We suddenly remember that we left the window open in the study, the place where we keep all our valuables.

Then we also remember that it’s the night of the Cardinal Grand Square activation, with weird things most likely happening on the home front. This is partly because Venus has that perfunctory, annual, “opposition date” with Quirky Uranus.

Whenever Venus gets with Uranus, her behavior becomes terribly erratic and her inhibitions fly out the window.

We don’t even want to begin to know what those two could be up to downstairs.

Done that.  Been there before. Although I personally can’t recall which decade.

So we put on ear plugs and try to fall back to sleep.

Praying that George Clooney will reappear with us, one more time, under the bed sheets.

To protect us from the harsh, cruel world, and the likes of the volatile Cardinal Square, now reaching a climactic pitch – at least downstairs!

In the News:

The United States Senate Thursday confirmed the nomination of Elena Kagan as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. She will be sworn into office in a few days and, I believe, seated on the court in October.

Kagan (b. 4/28/60) is a pragmatic Taurus with a lighthearted, humorous Gemini Moon. She also has her Mental Mercury in independent thinking Aries trine her Uranus in Leo, giving her excellent originality in her thought processes, as well as drama, wit, and spontaneity. Her Mercury is also square to serious Saturn in cautious Capricorn, good for adding depth and concentration to her mental abilities.

Right now, Kagan has transforming Pluto sitting smack on her 3 degree Jupiter in governmental Capricorn, with Jupiter symbolically ruling judges.  This will be Elena’s first experience as a judge, but something that her horoscope shows great potential aptitude for. Pluto is also exactly trining her natal Pluto at 3 degrees of  employment Virgo, good for turning over a new leaf, career-wise.

Kagan’s confirmation to the Supreme Court comes just as Mars and Saturn, and later today, Venus, occupy the sign of matrimonial Libra which also rules justice and the courts. All three planets are caught in the crossfire of the Cardinal T-Square, a time of big changes for the collective, with many of those changes having long-term consequences. Also, on Wednesday, a federal judge overturned the same sex marriage ban in California.  That matter may eventually end up in the Supreme Court with Elena Kagan one of the judges deciding whether gays should have a right to constitutionally marry in the U.S.

Kagan’s addition to the Supreme Court is precedent-setting as well as it marks the first time in history that three women have served on the Court at the same time.  Kagan is also only the fourth woman ever to be nominated to the Supreme Court. Way to go, Elena! Congratulations!

Enjoy your Friday!

You may want to put steel plates in front of all the windows before you go to bed tonight, and sleep in combat fatigues in the bomb shelter in the basement. Just a precaution with the Cancer Moon in the volatile Cardinal Grand Square and Venus on that wild date with Uranus.

Also, don’t even think about getting fresh with George Clooney in your sleep tonight.  If you do, you’ll regret it, and feel guilty as all get out when Uranus leaves Venus Saturday morning and Venus lands on Saturn’s judgmental lap on Saturday night.

Patricia’s Daily Astrology Horoscope July 9, 2010: Sudden Fame

“It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely.” Albert Einstein

Cosmic Word Of The Day: Fame

Definition: 1) widespread reputation, esp. of a favorable character; renown; public eminence

Origin: 1175-1225; < L fama, talk, public opinion, repute

COSMIC WEATHER:

We’re craving our fifteen minutes of fame.

This is because Mental Mercury leaves Homebody Cancer for Rock Star Leo today (12:30 pm EDT), a sign that is profusely addicted to being on stage and hogging the spotlight.

Also, since Mercury in Leo is harmoniously trining Innovative Uranus in Get Discovered Aries – a very powerful creative alignment that is also synonymous with sudden fame and notoriety – we’re considering taking the plunge and auditioning for none other than the likes of Simon Cowell himself, the Universe’s guaranteed pathway to instant fame and riches for wannabee stars.

Simon reigns supreme in this area partly because in his personal horoscope, he has his musical, lovable Venus and controlling, penetrating Pluto, together in the picky, “masterfully analytical” sign of Virgo the Virgin, providing him with profound,  instant ability to size up singing talent, while simultaneously calling into question some of his more private, bedside predilections.

We’re also not going the traditional audition route with Simon – standing in line for hours. What we’re going to do instead is audition for him by way of “telepathy,” since Uranus rules intuition and telepathy.

Another thing we believe working in our favor today: Talented, Voice-Ruler Venus is at the tail end of Performance Leo, separating from an exact opposition to Disillusioning, Undermining Neptune in Brotherly Aquarius. This planetary aspect is perfect here because it endows us with a very deep need and overwhelming desire and capacity for vast amounts of humiliation and embarrassment before the collective.

“Fame is the thirst of youth.” Lord Byron

Hope you make it through to Hollywood.
