Cosmic Weather:

We start out our Wednesday – the 205th day of the year – with Waning Luna (governing our feelings and emotions) wrapping up her stay in fast-acting Aries, perhaps generating more of a general restlessness within us and also more of a tendency towards impulsivity as we are more inclined now to directly act upon our emotions. (The Moon will be void from 10:47 am to 5:42 pm, at which time it will enter the sign of stabilizing Taurus.)

Communicator Mercury retrograde is also forming a conjunction with sweet, soothing Venus in sentimental Cancer (8:26 pm). This softening influence can not only make us wax poetic and perhaps kindle our romantic side as well, it can also find us revisiting and analyzing old relationships, old feelings, including reviewing elements of our familial or ancestral past. Articulating our feelings now may also be more important to us. Additionally, it may be a wonderful time to visit art galleries, take in concerts, redecorate our living quarters, as we potentially have more of an aptitude and appreciation for beauty now in all of its forms. Too, this conjunction nicely dovetails with today’s numerology, since it’s the 24th day of the month, which is also a Venus-ruled six-day.

The Moon also enters its Last Quarter Phase in practical Taurus tonight (9:17 pm), squaring the Sun in self-expressive Leo. (The Quarter Moon phase always suggests some crisis in consciousness is possible.) It could be that we need to reconcile now a need to be pragmatic with a desire to be creative. Perhaps discerning how to place or put a value or worth (Taurus) on our own creative instincts (Leo).

“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” Maya Angelou

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On July 24, 1965, Bob Dylan (b. 5/24/41) releases the classic “Like A Rolling Stone.” Astrologically, that day, Mercury (words) and Venus (artistry) were conjunct in creative Leo (similar to what we have today with those same two planets conjunct in Cancer). The empowering Sun was also in dramatic Leo and sextile to the Waning Moon in articulate, clever Gemini. Dylan also had, in his own birth chart, transiting fortuitous (preacher-teacher) Jupiter in Gemini exactly conjunct his 7th house cusp (ruling the public) and trining his Libra Midheaven (career house).

Hope it’s a good one!

Today’s Astrology July 23, 2019: A Grand Fire Trine

Cosmic Weather:

The first half of the day finds the enterprising Waning Moon in Aries making a Grand Fire Trine to assertive Mars in Leo (9:33 am) and to expansive Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (12:13 pm), so we have a real opportunity, at this time, to turn things around in a positive way that feels very spacious and invigorating to us. The fire signs – Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius – naturally invoke our passions, or what it is that is burning in our heart. A Grand Fire Trine also suggests a special ability to more effortlessly put into motion our strongest desires.

Again, with the Moon in its waning phase, we are continuing to work on bringing things to completion now, as well as actively eliminating what isn’t working. Too, it’s interesting how we often equate “adding things” to our lives as automatically making them better, but sometimes, “subtracting” the non-essential elements is what really ends up giving our lives their richness and distinction. Kind of like removing unnecessary furniture pieces or accessories out of a room so what you have left is easier to see and appreciate and manage.

This is also an excellent period to work on developing our sense of self-confidence (Leo), our sense of daring or adventure (Aries), as well as refining our vision for ourselves and our future (Sagittarius).

Structuring Saturn Rx in Capricorn is also trining focused Vesta in Taurus today, allowing us a chance to become more grounded in our work or duties. It may be that we are returning to a work project now (Saturn Rx) that we earlier abandoned or put on hold. It’s also potentially easier for us to become more disciplined now as we can ideally see that the “end is in sight.”

Since this is also the 23rd day of the month (or a Mercury-ruled five day) there’s a tendency to employ a more mental or intellectual approach to the day. Our cognitive juices are flowing. An especially good time, perhaps, to follow-up on, or communicate to the world, what we are curious about. There may also be more of a flair for diplomacy or for extending an olive branch. It could be we are more inventive or creative now regarding strategies on how to do this.

“I think, at a child’s birth if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity.” Eleanor Roosevelt

Hope you make it a great one, today!

film, leadership, longevity, Mars conjunct Pluto, master builder, Mercury conjunct Uranus, Moon in Aries, new beginnings, number 22, numerology, Plan 9 From Outer Space Premieres, self-confidence, sun enters leo

Cosmic Weather:

It’s always nice to begin our Monday with a little bit of extra zing, going for us – and that appears to be the situation today!

The Waning Moon (governing our emotions) first shifts into “start me up” Aries, this morning (6:02 am), the sign of new beginnings, and then, later tonight, the Sun (ego, purpose, and will) follows suit with a shift into “self-expressive” Leo the Lion (10:50 pm), where it will hang out for the next 30 days, giving us ample time to “strut our stuff” as well as display/employ/develop our creative abilities and leadership skills. When the Sun is in proud, self-confident Leo, we naturally like to be in charge. We also crave the limelight. The Sun will be joining assertive Mars, already in Leo, and, later this week, lovable Venus will also be entering this kingly-queenly sign.

Another cool thing about today is that, numerologically, it’s the 22nd day of the month. The number 22 is considered to be a “master number” and is linked with the “master builder” vibration, potentially allowing us to manifest our dreams with greater ease.

Also, the simple fact that it’s a Monday, the beginning of the workweek, can inspire or re-motivate us to, once again, get going with our lofty, very laudable agendas. (In Daniel H. Pink’s latest book “When”, he mentions “Mondays” as one of the “temporal landmarks” associated with fresh starts.)

Too, since the Moon is in its waning phase and decision-maker Mercury is retrograde until July 31st, it may be best to focus on putting the finishing touches on our magnifico creations now instead of rolling out anything new.

“Starting is not most people’s problem, staying, continuing and finishing is.” Darren Hardy

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On July 22, 1959, Ed Wood’s cult classic “Plan 9 From Outer Space” (an independently produced science fiction-horror film) called one of the worst films ever, premieres.

Astrologically, that day, presenter Mercury was stationing retrograde in “Hollywood director” Leo conjunct eccentric, quirky Uranus (the planet which also governs science fiction). Enterprising Mars was also newly-installed in detail-minded Virgo conjunct “shock-jock” Pluto. Mars and Pluto were also trine to “Father Time” Saturn in “professionally-minded” Capricorn which is maybe why the movie is still being talked about today. Trines to Saturn are associated with longevity (or staying power).

Hope you enjoy your Monday!

communication, daily astrology, daily horoscope, leadership, Mercury in Leo, Moon in Aries, quote for today, taking initiative, US Supreme Court rules in favor of same-sex marriage, Venus conjunct Jupiter

Cosmic Weather:

Often, it seems, it is not so much what is said, as the way that it is said that is most memorable and ends up packing the greatest punch. With the “winged-messenger” Mercury’s entrance into “kingly” Leo the Lion, later this evening (8:19 pm), the sign of the entertainer, our communication style now has a better chance of radiating our own personal flair, our sense of drama, our creativity, our warmth.

In Sun-ruled Leo, our words (Mercury) are given extra shine or luster (Leo rules gold). We are also capable of speaking/writing/articulating with more authority, more self-confidence (including more ego-involvement).

“The art of communication is the language of leadership.” – James Humes

(Mercury will be going retrograde in Leo on July 7th and re-entering the sign of Cancer, mid-July, before it returns for another round in Leo, in mid-August. When Mercury is retrograde, we often go inward to review, recheck, revise or revisit our previous decisions/plans.)

Meanwhile, the Moon also continues her passage through enterprising, self-focused Aries today prompting us to take initiative, to be courageous.

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.” Maya Angelou

*All times EDT

Famous People with Mercury in Leo: Antonio Banderas, Michael Phelps, Anjelica Huston, Kellie Pickler, Dan Aykroyd, Barack Obama.

On This Day in History: On June 26, 2015, US Supreme Court rules 5-4 same-sex marriage is a legal right across all US states.

Astrologically, on that day, the Moon was in the matrimonial sign of Libra (which also rules the courts). The North Node (the future) was also in Libra and was being squared (squares force issues) by the empowering Sun in empathetic Cancer.

Assertive Mars had also just entered Cancer (the sign of home and family) and was applying to a conjunction to the Sun as well as a square to the Libra North Node.

Additionally, relationship maven, Venus, was also moving into exact conjunction (2 degrees) with inclusive-minded, philosophical Jupiter (the planet that also rules judges). Venus and Jupiter were both in magnanimous, warm-hearted Leo.

Enjoy your Wednesday!

daily astrology, daily horoscope, directness, last quarter moon, leadership, Moon conjunct Chiron, Moon in Aries, Prince releases Purple Rain album, Sun in Cancer, vulnerability

Cosmic Weather:

With the arrival of the Last Quarter Moon, this morning (at 5:46 am), we’re likely becoming more aware of what’s going to be sticking around with us and what’s not, as we ready ourselves for the journey of the upcoming New Moon (a Total Solar Eclipse) and it’s promise of new beginnings (next Tuesday). It is during this Last Quarter Moon phase that we cut loose or release whatever is outworn, or not needed anymore.

The Moon’s placement today in self-assertive Aries also suggests that our (power) moves today will be executed with directness, self-confidence, and probably high energy, as well as (potentially) some measure of impatience or impulsiveness. (Ideally, Luna in Aries primes us for assuming fearless leadership.)

Of course, with Luna’s conjunction with Chiron (10:20 am) and square to the tenacious Cancer Sun, there’s also another part of us – “the resistance movement” – that may be tempted to post a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door now, so we can retreat or hide under the covers today to soothingly nurse/lick our wounds; protect/review our vulnerabilities. All part of the natural pushback or inner tension that is often registered or felt inside of us when Luna is at a Quarter Moon Phase. Accordingly, a challenge now is to perhaps find a way to strike up a sense of inner peace or balance among the discordant inner factions.

“Peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is, rather than as you think it should be.” – Wayne Dyer

*All times EDT

Question for Today: When do you know it’s time to let go of something?

On This Day in History: On June 25, 1984, Prince (b. 6/07/58) releases his “Purple Rain” album.

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time to see you laughing
I only want to see you laughing in the purple rain

compassion, daily astrology, daily horoscope, deception, empathy, fantasy, idealism, Mary Pickford becomes first female star to get million dollar contract, Moon in Aries, Moon in Pisces, venus square neptune

Cosmic Weather:

Today we may do well to keep in mind the proverbial saying: “All that glitters is not gold” as Venus (the planet of love, values, and money) moves into a square formation with Neptune Rx (the planet of idealism as well as deception). Venus-Neptune energy can seduce us to “long for/fall for” the dream, even though the logarithms/metrics may not quite add up in real-time. In reality, of course, there is nothing wrong with dreaming or imagining things to be a certain way; the issues or problems arise, however, when we refuse or intentionally choose not to look at the cold hard facts. On another level, Venus-Neptune tends to heighten our compassion/empathy for others as well as our enhance our creativity. We also may find pleasure now, or take refuge, in being by the sea or water. Going for such things as a hydromassage may also be enjoyable.

Jupiter Rx (representing our beliefs, our personal philosophy of life) is also quinqunx the North Node in nurturing Cancer today (2:28 pm), suggesting that we are feeling a little askew or off-center about integrating the bigger picture into the fabric of our daily lives. This could be because there is possibly a little bit of shifting going on inside of us now and we may need some time to sort things out.

Waning Luna also continues her passage through illusionary Pisces, until late tonight (10:37 pm), when she then will move into action-oriented Aries, a time when we may also be tempted to kick it into warp speed.

(Venus in Gemini Squares Neptune Rx in Pisces. Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius quinqunx the North Node in Cancer. Moon in Pisces moves into Aries.)

*All times EDT

Question for Today: What fantasy do you aspire to make real?

On This Day in History: On June 24, 1916, Mary Pickford (b. April 8, 1892), known as “America’s Sweetheart” becomes the first female star to get a million dollar film contract. A talented actress starring in over 200 films, she was also the co-founder of United Artists and of the Motion Picture Academy.

Pickford was born with her natal Sun (life purpose) and Jupiter (the expansive urge) in pioneering Aries and also had Neptune (ruling film and motion pictures) exactly conjunct Pluto (transformation) in contractual Gemini (at 7 degrees). Her Venus (attracting power, artistry) was also part of that Neptune-Pluto conjunction (at 3 degrees of Gemini). Venus-Neptune individuals can often leave us “spellbound,” while Venus-Pluto natives are often able to wield great personal power and charisma as well.

When Pickford also signed her million dollar movie contract, that day in the sky, the transiting Sun (recognition, power) and Pluto (reform) were exactly conjunct in feminine Cancer, and Venus (money) and Saturn (success) were also tightly conjunct (one degree) in that same sign as well, definitely putting a spotlight on the “Goddess” energy. Venus conjunct Saturn is also an excellent astrological aspect for stabilizing or solidifying one’s finances.

“You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.” Mary Pickford

Hope you enjoy your Monday!

Adam Smith published The Wealth of Nations March 9 1776, decluttering, detective, Jupiter in Gemini, lottery, mega wealth, mercury square jupiter, money, Moon in Aries, Moon square pluto, treasure-hunting

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

Hope you enjoy your Saturday! Happy hunting!

Moon in Aries, retirement, setting priorities, Sun sextile Saturn, taking action, The opening of the Eisenhower Tunnel March 8 1973

Cosmic Weather:

“Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action. ” William James

The Moon in enterprising, self-focused Aries, all day, motivates us to take direct action on matters, especially action on our own behalf, as well as inspiring us to want to birth something new. We’re also more comfortable with some measure of constraint or discipline placed upon our energy now, especially as the day develops, due to a sextile forming between the Sun in Pisces and perfecting Saturn in Capricorn, which will be exact early tomorrow morning (2:10 am). The Sun-Saturn aspect helps us to cut through the fog and build upon our previous successes. It can potentially offer us some clear guidance or insight into our strengths and weaknesses and how to wield our power in such a way that we’re able to make the best use of our available time and resources. This is also an excellent time to establish or re-establish our priorities. Keeping in mind, too, that Mercury is now retrograde in Pisces so we may be able to presently perceive some things that we might have missed, earlier. Or, we may see things, now, in a new light. Additionally, the Sun-Saturn influence is positive for interactions with authority figures, employers, and those who may act as our mentors. It’s also favorable for retirement planning, or for dealing with issues that affect older individuals. By the way, according to recent statistics, age 62 is the most common age to retire in the U.S.

“Retire from work, but not from life.” – M.K. Soni

*All times ET.

This Day in History: On March 8, 1973, the Eisenhower Tunnel, the world’s highest and US longest, opens 60 miles west of Denver, Colorado. The tunnel was considered an engineering feat, at the time. In the sky that day, expansive Jupiter was in innovative Aquarius, the sign that also governs engineering, and forming almost an exact trine (less than one degree) to transforming Pluto in connecting Libra. Jupiter, along with Mercury, rule travel, and Pluto governs tunnels. On a collective level, Jupiter-Pluto energy often allows us to reshape or transform our world on a large-scale level. It is also an aspect that is associated with mining the riches of the earth. By the way, the Moon was also in earthy Taurus, that day, the sign of its exaltation.

Hope you enjoy your day! Unfortunately, I’m still not able to be back with you on a regular basis, but hopefully, that will change soon.

daily astrology, daily horoscope, Donald Trump, imagination, Mercury sextile Neptune, moon conjunct uranus, Moon in Aries, Moon in Taurus, Nancy Pelosi

“Remember your connection with the cosmos. Remember your connection with the infinity and that remembrance will give you the freedom.” Amit Ray

We begin our Monday with thinker Mercury sextile to transcendent Neptune (exact at 8:19 am.) With logical Mercury and imaginative Neptune paired up now, our creative juices are potentially flowing more easily. A good day, perhaps, to tap into our inner artist. To wax poetic. We also may be sensing a clearer pipeline to the Divine. Or to our Source, Spirit. Whatever you want to call it. I know someone who fondly refers to the concept of a higher power as the “Big Enchilada.” I actually kinda like that description. It’s friendly. More approachable. Humorous. And laughter is something that is always very healing for the soul!

On Mercury-Neptune days, we may feel more of a need to simply be alone with our thoughts. To sift through our dreams, hopes, and wishes. We may also want to check in with our intuition to see what kind of guidance or teaching it may have for us now. See how our outer life is mirroring, or not mirroring, what’s going on inside of us. Find out whether or not we’re living with integrity.

The waxing Moon is also still in the last couple degrees of active Aries the Ram, in the morning, and it’s forming a conjunction to wacky, rebellious Uranus (10:56 am). Buckling down and putting our noses to the grindstone could be a bit trickier now. Later, the Moon will shift into steady, stable Taurus the Bull (1:31 pm) and remain in this calming sign until late Wednesday evening. Conforming is easier now. This also primes us to enjoy the finer things in life, over the next two days. Taurus represents our values and what holds meaning for us. It’s also a time for building or consolidating our energies.

“So few want to be rebels anymore. And out of those few, most, like myself, scare easily.” Ray Bradbury

Hope you enjoy your day! Do your own Uranian thing! Be groovy and cool, man. 🙂

“Dreaming about being an actress, is more exciting then being one.” Marilyn Monroe

Very interesting day in the cosmos! Intellectual Mercury is conjunct serious, ‘Doubting Thomas’ Saturn in Capricorn, expansive Jupiter in Sadge is square fantasy Neptune in fishy Pisces, and the changeable, fluctuating Moon is in restless, action-packed Aries! Yours truly is also writing this blog literally in the dark, by flashlight only, as where I live we’re currently experiencing an ice storm and my house has no power or electricity. All I can say is, “Thank God for Wifi!

So, I’ll try to be brief and to the point here (communicator Mercury is, after all, conjunct stingy, ‘less is more’ Saturn!) – and before my laptop dies, which could be any minute! Today is a time when we may experience some measure of confusion or disillusionment, especially with respect to our dreams, ideals, beliefs, philosophy of life, and expectations (Jupiter-Neptune). It is also easier for us to be misled or hoodwinked, not just by others, but also by ourselves! In other words, it appears that nearly all the collective is operating somewhat in the dark now, metaphorically speaking, and not just moi! (I just love the synchronicity at play here, don’t you?) While Jupiter-Neptune can be seemingly inspiring to us, to some degree, it also does have a legacy of being associated with going overboard, being extravagant, mismanaging or wasting our resources, becoming addicted to pleasures or legal, illegal substances.

We’re actually very fortunate to have that practical, grounded Mercury-Saturn conjunction in aspect today, as a counter to the more disorienting, undermining Jupiter-Neptune energy, as it is probably one of the best planetary influences for providing us with a solid, hands-on reality check. Good for planning and organizing. Optimally, Mercury-Saturn symbolizes discernment, concentration, wisdom, disciplined thought. All qualities that we’re potentially more sorely in need of now as we attempt to navigate through all the fog!

On another level, it’s also possible with the Mercury-Saturn conjunction that we hear more serious news today that ends up putting us into a more reflective mode. On the shadow side, Mercury-Saturn is often linked with despair or depression. Also a scarcity, or fear-mongering mentality.

Anyway, Jupiter square Neptune will also return twice more this year in June and September. So the drama continues. Stay tuned! 🙂

“The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.” Rachel Carson.

Enjoy your Sunday! Good luck flying close to the ground today in your oh so pretty ruby red slippers! 🙂
