Astrology January 15, 2020: Venus Sextiles Uranus – There’s More To It Than Just Lipstick

Cosmic Weather:

“Don’t let your special character and values, the secret that you know and no one else does, the truth – don’t let that get swallowed up by the great chewing complacency.” Aesop

We’re almost done working our poor, little ole’ fingers to the bone, as Luna will be exiting “fussbudget” Virgo, mid-morning, for “let’s live it up in style at the Queen’s expense” Libra (at 10:43 am).

We also have the super cool, bohemian-style “Venus-Uranus sextile” aspect becoming exact, early this evening (6:17 pm). Sweet Venus (governing beauty, love, money, and values) just shifted into “the world of illusion” territory of Pisces the Mermaid, a couple days ago, and in addition to spending considerable time perusing the cosmetics department at Macy’s Department Store, she’s also just scheduled her long-awaited “angel wings fitting,” in a further bid to flee the clutches of Saturn and Pluto, still joined at the hip in stuffy old Capricorn, now also the official sign of presidential impeachments.

Of course, Venus is also duly preparing herself today for what “non-conforming” Uranus in hedonistic Taurus is probably going to say to her when they do finally meet up tonight for a beer and a burger. She’s almost certain he’ll say something flippant like “There’s more to life than just lipstick, Venus!” The truth is, Uranus hasn’t even seen the latest shades of red lipstick available now – which is “the color” for 2020 – despite the fact that he’s supposedly, always, living on the “cutting-edge” of everything.

Anyway, Venus plans on bringing with her, tonight, plenty of compelling, nerdy documentation for Uranus (it’ll be right up his alley!), thoroughly detailing the overarching psychological significance of the profound role that lipstick has been found to play in a modern woman’s daily life so that, in the end, Uranus will no longer be able to gloss over or dismiss all the facts quite so smugly! She may even seal the deal with a kiss – but only if he lets her get “lipstick on his collar” as unmitigated proof that she knows 100% what she’s talking about, and that he’s all full of beans! 🙂

Seriously… the “Venus-Uranus” aspect today is really a neat thing for us to be privy to now. There’s a very liberating vibe to it, especially for relationships (but also for creativity), as it can incline us to want to be more fully our “true selves,” with all of our blemishes or flaws quirkily on display. We’re also more open to at least the idea of some measure of social experimentation now, including possibly becoming more tolerant of one another’s’ differences or perhaps more amenable to willing to hang out with types of people that we normally might not associate with. Venus-Uranus aspects can also occasionally spawn sudden, “very electrifying” type relationship pairings ( for instance, Paul McCartney and John Lennon first met each other when Venus and Uranus were exactly conjunct in entertainment Leo).

With change-agent Uranus also scheming around in “certificates of deposit” Taurus, (a sign which Venus also rules), there’s also a chance that we may be more willing now to embrace or at least entertain new ideas or strategies for dealing with financial or investment issues. Today, too, we also have the official signing of the US and China Trade Agreement (“Phase One” of it), a matter that has been in the works now for nearly two years, between the two countries. Reportedly, this agreement also contains new protections (with enforcement power) for intellectual property matters (a domain of high-tech Uranus) as well as restraints on currency manipulations (Taurus).

*All times EST.

Tarot Card For The Day: The Eight of Cups, signaling completion. This card also suggests that there’s an old emotional situation that is left behind today and that we’re also ready for something new, but still not quite sure exactly what that is yet.

Numerology For The Day:  The number “15” suggests we need to strike a balance now between work and rest. Fifteen also reduces down to the number “6” which is a number of harmony, positive social and business dealings, and artistic potential. It’s a number that can get the “first month of the new year,” off to a solid, promising start.

Born On This Day: Joan of Arc, in 1412, Roman Catholic Saint and national heroine of France (d. 1431). Joan of Arc is quoted as saying: “I was admonished to adopt feminine clothes; I refused, and still refuse. As for other avocations of women, there are plenty of other women to perform them.”

Hope it’s a good one!

Astrology December 15, 2019: Jupiter Trine Uranus

15 Sunday Dec 2019

Cosmic Weather:

Today, guys, we may want to make sure that our highly fashionable “thinking caps” are firmly planted on our pointy, little, egg-shaped heads, from the get-go, as we’re more than likely to be visited by an “invasion of brilliance” that will be hovering around us for only a very finite period of time now; at best, for just a few days.

It may also be very prudent now, too, if we really try not to sneeze or sigh too heavily – for fear of chasing away these rare, sensitive, whatchamacallit “invisible entities” who are, no doubt, trying to cleverly zoom in on us from above. Impinge upon our delicate, impressionable psyches. Lasso us in with their exacting precision, so as to bestow upon us a seeming bevy of “higher offerings,” presumably from the hierarchy or top-dogs of the “galactic think tank,” located somewhere sketchy, but definitely in the vicinity of the Great Beyond! 🙂

Seriously, expansive Jupiter trining innovative Uranus (2:01 pm), has a legacy of coinciding with flashes of brilliance, breakthrough understandings, colossal perspective shifts. This is excellent, electrifying energy for reconfiguring or re-arranging the ever cryptic puzzle pieces of our remarkable lives so as to potentially allow for more personal freedom and authenticity of self-expression. Ideally enabling us to more fully, and more unabashedly, “do our own thing!”

Exciting advances, movements, shifts may also be occurring now, correspondingly, in the collective at large (which is also ruled by Uranus) that helps to thrust all of us forward, as a people, into a better, brighter tomorrow. For instance, When Jupiter and Uranus were exactly conjunct in Libra on July 20, 1969, is when we had the first manned space mission landing on the Moon (Apollo 11)!

Both Jupiter and Uranus are very futuristic in nature. Jupiter, governing our beliefs, our understanding, our higher vision is always wanting to include more of the wondrous world into its grand orbit. Uranus, with its own quirky, peculiar motion in outer space, relishes its role as being the odd planet (odd person) out. It also represents change itself or defying the status quo (Saturn).

Uranus also symbolizes individuality, intuition, elements of genius, and the tech industry. Jupiter and Uranus paired up ideally provide us with a promising chance to grow our world, as possibly never before, in ways we may have never even imagined, until now.

What’s also nice is that transiting Jupiter in Capricorn and Uranus RX in Taurus are both in practical earth signs, so we’re dealing with more solid, grounded energy that can generate tangible longlasting results in the real world. Now is a time to plant important seeds that will gradually grow, over time (Jupiter in Capricorn), into a bountiful harvest (hope springs eternal here)! Even taking small actions now can have very positive consequences for us, down the road, if we but keep tilling the soil.

We also want to, of course, take note of where we have these two planets moving through our personal charts (in what houses), as those are the specific areas of our life that are poised for cutting-edge, expansive developments or growth. Where we also need to do our part and enlist “out-of-the-box” thinking and strategies. Deliberately doing things up differently than before, as the old methods just won’t cut it anymore. New inspiration is what’s needed or required of us now.

Today’s trine is also the first time that Uranus in Taurus has been aspected by a major planet since it ingressed into Taurus, back in mid-May of 2018. So we may also be getting a real flavor or inkling now of what Uranus means for us, both individually and collectively, in the sign of the bull. How it is, perhaps, impacting, possibly shaking up, our money-consciousness, our values, our habits, our sense of stewardship of our own personal resources as well as the resources of Mother Earth. Again, the focus here, with all of these things, is on innovation, or on improving upon what has come before.

“The vast majority of human beings dislike and even actually dread all notions with which they are not familiar… Hence it comes about that at their first appearance innovators have generally been persecuted, and always derided as fools and madmen.” Aldous Huxley

*All times EST.

Born On This Day: American comedian Tim Conway, in 1933.

Conway, who died in May of this year, once quipped: “I spend a lot of time thinking of the Hereafter – each time I enter a room I wonder what I’m here after.” 

Hope it’s a good one!

Astrology December 9, 2019: Mercury Enters Sagittarius

09 Monday Dec 2019

Cosmic Weather:

We have some very promising, hopeful energy around to jumpstart our Monday!

One biggie: Winged Messenger Mercury flits into optimistic Sagittarius today (4:41 am), an enthusiastic fire sign, where it will stay until December 28th.

This upbeat placement for Mercury is excellent for expanding our perspectives, for helping us take a more global view of things, for igniting our curiosity.

We also tend to gravitate now towards conversations, or other forms of communication, in which we are able to freely express our beliefs or personal philosophy. We are also more interested in searching for the truth now, as we see or understand it.

Overall, Mercury in Sagittarius is excellent for teaching, learning new things, taking motivational courses or perhaps even doing some motivational speaking, if we’re so inclined. It might also be a fun time to start a blog or get involved with publishing or marketing, as Mercury in this sign is quite a promoter.

On the shadow side, Mercury in Sadge tends to minimize details in favor of the big picture or helicopter view (intellectual Mercury is in its detriment in Sagittarius, which is opposite Gemini, the sign that it rules). It is also sometimes associated with narrow-mindedness, even extremism, in the sense we can believe we have a monopoly on the truth.

“The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.” Flannery O’Connor.

Anyway… after having thinker Mercury in emotionally intense, darker-in-orientation Scorpio for the last two months, in which there was also a focus on understanding and healing from the past, Mercury’s ingress into brighter, futuristic Sadge should be a very nice, welcome change for us and a perfect tie in for the more hopeful spirit of the holidays.

We also have the waxing Moon in grounded Taurus, all day, the sign of its exaltation. When Luna is here we are wanting to create more of a feeling of abundance or sense of permanence in our life. Archetypally, the Taurus Moon symbolizes The Builder.

It is also a great time to engage in activities that indulge our senses, or that brings us into our bodies.

The Moon is also forming several positive aspects today to Neptune (imagination), Venus (love), Saturn (structure), and Pluto (rejuvenation). So the energy is really excellent now for our being able to act in a steadfast, agreeable manner to further our goals.

It is also a great sign for building new habits or daily practices, especially in its waxing phase. The Taurus Moon also favors taking care of business or material concerns.

Numerologically, the 9th day of the month is associated with wisdom and responsibility. It can also inspire humanitarian efforts.

Cosmic Weather:

Two, very nice, harmonizing trine aspects are occurring today as those of us, in the US, get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving Day:

Mercury in Scorpio trines Neptune in Pisces (4:50 am) – This lovely, more inspirational-type aspect potentially helps us to become more empathic or heart-centered in our conversations or communications. It’s excellent energy for generating overall psychic awareness or for tapping into our intuition. Ideally, we’re feeling more connected with our own inner sense of divinity. Possibly more willing to seeing unifying threads among us all. It’s also an excellent aspect for doing any kind of creative work, or for listening to music, or for maybe relaxing by the sea.

Venus in Capricorn trining Uranus RX in Taurus (1:27 pm): This exciting aspect can motivate us to want to partake in some stimulating or out-of-the-norm social or romantic activities. It can also bring people into our orbit who we might not normally interact with but now find very engaging or even liberating to be around. This galvanizing energy may also present us with sudden opportunities or outlets for financial or professional growth, including the chance to take fresh new approaches to these areas.

The waxing Moon also enters traditionally-minded Capricorn, this morning (7:32 am), where it will remain for the next couple days. This lunar placement helps us to appreciate or draw upon our past experiences, in a positive way.

Numerologically, with it being the 28th day of the month, there’s also greater potential for being able to express leadership qualities, as well as for taking initiative.

*All times EST

Happy Thanksgiving, to all of you who celebrate the day!

Hope it’s a good one!

Cosmic Weather:

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

With intellectual Mercury, in logical Virgo, and in a flowing, waxing trine to innovative Uranus (our inner Einstein), in pragmatic Taurus (10:10 am), it’s possible today that we will get a chance to see the sudden sprouting of some very cool ideas or insights that can help to shift things around for us in a very useful way (Virgo). Overall, this is an excellent day for brainstorming, in general, including evaluating/rethinking anything related to technology (Uranus) or quality control. Optimally, our ability to absorb anything more of a technical nature is also enhanced.

This may also be a very good time to look at or deal with our personal financial or career fitness (Uranus in Taurus) with an eye on how to shore it up, or improve it, over the long haul, as balancing Venus in organizing Virgo (the planetary ruler of materially-minded Taurus), is also forming a waning, harmonizing trine to Saturn in professionally-minded Capricorn (2:48 pm), with Saturn symbolizing the solidifying structure or foundation in our lives (Saturn also governs old age and retirement). Too, taking care of “unfinished business” first (such as paying off old debts) may be one of the best ways to forge ahead now.

“We tend to focus on assets and forget about debts. Financial security requires facing up to the big picture: assets minus debts.” Suze Orman

Additionally, the Venus-Saturn energy can also make us more mindful of our duties and responsibilities to others. Occasionally, Venus-Saturn is also associated with the formation of “May-December” romances.

Favored Activities Today: Engaging in mentoring relationships; financial and/or retirement planning; joining clubs or organizations to enhance our professional standing or our standing in the community; redecorating to achieve more of a “minimalist effect.”

Born on September 1st: Comedian Lily Tomlin in Detroit, Michigan. Tomlin turns 80 years old today.

Cosmic Weather:

“You wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down.” Toni Morrison

It’s actually quite possible today that we’ll be able to lighten our load, a bit, so we can pin on our dusty angel wings, and become airborne, with sweet Venus, in ethereal, transcendent Pisces, sextiling aviation-ruling Uranus in practical Taurus. Uranus naturally propels us towards change and experimentation. And, newly-deposited in Venus-ruled Taurus, the sign that governs money, our values, and our attachments, it’s potentially a chance for us to suddenly see these areas in a brand new light and to maybe do some creative tweaking, if needed. Possibly releasing, in the process, some of the baggage or worn-out practices of the past. I emphasized the word suddenly here, too, because that’s often how Uranus tends to impact us. It metaphorically symbolizes a bolt of lightning, out of the blue. You know, it’s those light bulb or aha moments that Oprah’s always going on about. Oprah herself is a Uranus-ruled Aquarian.

Venus-Uranus can be especially refreshing for new romantic encounters, for forming new friendships, and socializing, in general, as it often pairs us up with personality types that we normally wouldn’t give a second thought to. What’s also extra exciting about these liaisons, at least at the time, is there usually a lot of electricity in the air when we meet these people.

The Moon also shifts from idealistic Sagittarius to business-oriented Capricorn, this morning (10:07 am), with the Capricorn Moon also sextiling Venus (12:06 pm) and trining Uranus (12:10 pm), again underscoring the day’s sizzling Venus-Uranus aspect. If you’re also into power lunches, today would probably be a good time to have one. Although, Venus in inebriated Pisces may also want to make it into a two-martini lunch, so be forewarned!

On This Day in History: On March 27, 1915 Typhoid Mary (Mary Mallon) is arrested and returned to quarantine on North Brother Island, New York after spending five years evading health authorities and causing several further outbreaks of typhoid. Astrologically in the sky, that day, problem-solving Mercury was applying to a conjunction to insightful Jupiter and police chief Mars in escapist Pisces, the sign that also rules infirmaries, hospitals, and prisons.

Cosmic Weather:

“Never complain of that of which it is at all times in your power to rid yourself.” Adam Smith

The Moon spends another full day in active Aries, this Saturday, so anything that has a physical element to it gets a nod, if you’re up to it, that is. Also, this morning is an excellent time for any decluttering or refurbishing projects, especially on the homefront, as the Aries Moon is forming a square to eliminating and rebirthing Pluto (11:56 am).

On a personal note, the other day while I was cleaning out a small storage cabinet that I hadn’t looked inside for ages, I found several brand new items that I had no memory of ever buying. It was a little bit like embarking upon the thrill of the hunt! Unfortunately, though, I didn’t locate any misplaced, winning lotto tickets. 🙂 You sometimes hear about people doing that. Finding a ticket worth millions of dollars underneath an old girdle in a drawer. Or maybe under a pair of holey socks. You also gotta’ wonder, if you’re into astrology, what in the world did they have in their horoscope at the time they discovered the ticket? Maybe an aspect to Pluto? Pluto is associated with hidden treasure and excavation. Then, too, when you pair Pluto with Jupiter, that’s often when you stumble upon real mega-wealth!

Now, as fate would have it, would you believe that the Moon’s last major aspect in Aries today, before going void, is actually a trine to lucky Jupiter in Sagittarius ( 12:14 pm)? Could it be that we’re all on the edge of victory here??? That all we need to do is summon our inner Sherlock Holmes and, instead of heading for the hills, head for the drawers? As corny as that sounds.

The darn thing has gotta’ be around here somewhere! … 🙂

*All times EST

This Day in History: On March 9, 1776, the influential economics book “The Wealth of Nations” by Scottish economist and moral philosopher, Adam Smith, was published. This classic book offers, among other things, one of the world’s first collected descriptions of what builds nations’ wealth (Wikipedia).

In the sky on the date of the book’s publication, analytical Mercury was retrograde in creative Pisces (just like it is now) and had just separated from an exact square to philosophical Jupiter in information-oriented Gemini, a sign which is also ruled by Mercury. Mercury and Jupiter, of course, both govern our writing, thoughts, and ideas. Too, when these two planets are paired together is when you often will find more voluminous or comprehensive types of writing on a subject. Additionally, Jupiter is also the “wealth” planet and rules the world’s financial systems.

“Man is an animal that makes bargains: no other animal does this – no dog exchanges bones with another.”  Adam Smith

Today’s Astrology February 22, 2019: Not Quite Ready For Prime Time

22 Friday Feb 2019

Posted by in Uncategorized

Cosmic Weather:

“It is always the novice who exaggerates.” C.S. Lewis

Mercury in Pisces squares Jupiter in Sagittarius (3:40 pm)

While we may be very jazzed up about our ideas, beliefs, and points of view today, including, perhaps, very eager and ready to perform full-fledged Jupiterian proselytizations on anyone who will give us just five minutes, chances are that we’re not quite ready for prime time yet! At least, that is, our ideas, etc. might not be fully ready for their big Broadway stage debuts. Had to clarify that! Of course, we’re ready! We’re always ready! 🙂

Often with Mercury square Jupiter in play, there’s a tendency for us to overpromise, overexaggerate, and bloviate, in general. We’re also more prone to overlooking key details because we’re less inclined to want to concentrate our attention now. Still, though, today can be a fun, stimulating time for conversation, or for writing. Especially in the first half of the day, as this energy is applying.  That’s because, again, there’s a certain largeness to our thinking now that feels very positive. Our mental faculties are also being s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d. Mercury in Pisces is also already in its shadow phase, getting ready to turn retrograde on March 5, so we’re going to have this Mercury-Jupiter square, two more times, before it’s all over. Hopefully, we’ll get to see more of this evolving picture, each time it occurs. Eventually knowing exactly what to do! Anyway, hope always springs eternal here!

Venus Conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn (10:49 pm)

“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.” Anais Nin

As we move more into the second half of the day, we’re likely going to be feeling more of the emotional intensity of the Venus-Pluto conjunction. This aspect can make us especially want to go deeper with our relationships, and to look at things that we may have not wanted to face before. But, now, we’re likely wanting to get to the bottom of things, maybe about ourselves, another person, or a situation, possibly because we no longer want to be living a lie, or an illusion. Or, things may have also reached a critical point now, where there’s no longer even an option of our turning back.

Additionally, we may also want to be healed now from whatever has been weighing us down, or holding us back. There’s definitely a lot of raw emotion out there now. And, ideally, it can be used for transformational purposes. But, first, we must scale to the depths and be willing to look at, unflinchingly, the true nature of things. See what comes up for us from below, and then release it, or try let it go.

It’s also interesting now that, with this Venus-Pluto conjunction taking place in authoritative Capricorn, Pope Francis is hosting a historic summit on combatting clergy sex abuse in the Catholic Church. On the shadow side, Venus-Pluto is sometimes associated with sexual abuse. Pluto specifically governing such things as sexually deviant or hidden or clandestine forms of behavior, violating sexual taboos, fetishes, obsessions, and even hate crimes. It can also translate into our wanting to be on a power trip of sorts. Wanting to, perhaps, exert maximum control over others for our own selfish purposes or gratification. Or, on the flip side, we may encounter or hear about individuals now who behave in this manner. Today, Pope Francis (b. 12/17/36) also has, in his natal chart, transiting Mars exactly conjunct his Uranus in Taurus in his tenth house of career and public standing. Mars-Uranus often signifying a powerful period when a person is called upon to initiate (Mars) radical reforms (Uranus). Uranus right now, too, is at 29 degrees of pioneering Aries, a critical degree in which we often feel compelled to take last-minute or final action on something that has been building for a while. What’s more, Pope Francis has his natal midheaven at 0 degrees of Taurus! So Uranus is getting ready to cross over it, in a few days. It’s likely that today’s summit is just the beginning, or a sampling, of what is probably going to be unfolding, in the future, around the Pope, and with the church, for a long time to come.

On another level, this can also be a time when we get more reality-focused about our finances, including possibly wanting to take measures to turn things around for the positive. 

UPDATED: More Venus-Pluto high-profile type stories in the headlines today! This afternoon, singer R. Kelly was reportedly charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, some involving underage victims, according to US media reports.  Also, Patriots owner Robert Kraft was, the billionaire owner of the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, was charged today with two counts of soliciting sex as part of a wide-ranging investigation into prostitution and suspected human trafficking in South Florida (New York Times).

“Tell me what you pay attention to and I will tell you who you are.” Jose Ortega y Gasset

Cosmic Weather: 

There is a New Moon in deliberate Taurus the Bull this morning (8:16 am EDT), the first of the earth signs. Venus-ruled Taurus governs money, possessions, values, and the things we love. The practical Taurus New Moon helps us to formulate some realistic plans for ourselves, over the course of the next month. It is also excellent energy for helping us to slow down the pace of our lives and be in the moment, which is something that we are learning more and more is foundational to achieving and preserving good health.

It is also a perfect time to really think about, and become more clear about, what it is that we value, and why. Our values, along with our beliefs, are ultimately what help to inspire and shape our day-to-day actions, which are essentially the building blocks of our lives. Many of us are perennially seeking answers outside of ourselves, about the nature of our future, when in reality, all we really need to do is take a close look at our daily activities. See what we are routinely investing our time and energy in, and that should give us a pretty good idea as to where we are heading. Taurus, archetypally, also represents the builder.

This New Moon does form harmonious aspects with Neptune and the North Node in Virgo, potentially allowing us to more easily connect with our vision, imagination, and sense of purpose.

“If you have a strong purpose in life, you don’t have to be pushed. Your passion will drive you there.” Roy T. Bennett

Question for Today: When you are feeling “on purpose with your life,” what action(s) are you taking? What activities are you engaged in?

This Date in History: On April 26, 1514 Copernicus made his first observations of Saturn.

Famous April 26 Birthdays: John James Audobon, Carol Burnett, Bernard Malamud.

“Without heroes we’re all plain people and don’t know how far we can go.” Bernard Malamud

Happy New Moon Blessings!

Astrology April 19, 2017: Sun Enters Taurus

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

Sun Enters Taurus: The Sun, the key principle of vital energy that signifies the conscious ego and self-directedness, shifts out of pioneering Aries into sustaining Taurus today (5:27 pm EDT), where it will hang out patiently for the next thirty days. While the Sun is deposited in earthy Taurus we anchor and narrow our range of interests and focus on making our lives more safe and secure. Venus-ruled Taurus governs money, possessions, and our values. The keywords for this sign are “I have.”

Among the things that we may want to reflect upon now is how our personal identity is often closely intertwined with what we have or own. For instance, a question that we might want to ask of ourselves is, “Who are we really, apart from all our stuff?” We may also want to consider how we characteristically manage our resources, and how that style of stewardship may be helping or hurting us.

“Money is an amazing teacher: What you choose to do with your money shows whether you are truly powerful or powerless.” Suze Orman

This Date in History: On April 19, 1932 U.S. President Herbert Hoover suggests 5 day work week.

Famous April 19 Birthdays: Kate Hudson, Ashley Judd, Jayne Mansfield, Maria Sharapova

“I’m big on manners. I’m big on politeness. I’m big on gratitude.” Kate Hudson
