COSMIC WATCH:

“Shoot for the moon.  Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” –  Les Brown

The enterprising Aries Moon gets favorable assist today from its energetic ruler Mars, situated in security-oriented Cancer, and also expansive Jupiter, busy ringing up the cash register in money bags Taurus. Both of these heavenly bodies are harmoniously sextile to each other helping to fire up our enthusiasm and propel us at warp speed toward our goals. We are more optimistic about our future, but still have a goodly amount of practical bearings about us. A positive day to wage heroic efforts to stabilize and or upgrade our humble lot in life.

Looking back, too, we find that the last time that we had Mars in Cancer sextile Jupiter in Taurus was in September of 1964. This motivating and inspiring influence was exact on September 10th, that year, the very same day that the African Development Bank was founded. This financial institution was created for the purpose of fostering economic and social development in Africa. The bank reportedly has a public-mandate to reduce poverty through sustainable development. Fascinatingly, Jupiter governs the banking industry. It also tries to act as a goodwill ambassador, whenever it can.

Additionally, Jupiter rules foreigners and on September 10, 1964, Germany reportedly received its 1,000,000th foreign worker. How about that! Another cool astrological tie-in.

Enjoy your Thursday! Go get ’em!

Astrology August 17, 2011: Aries Moon Inspires Action

astrology for august 17 2011, Brian Tracy, horoscope august 17 2011, horoscope for august 17 2011, Mae West horoscope, Moon in Aries, Moon square mars, scattering our energies, taking action

COSMIC WATCH:

The “action-packed” Aries Moon primes us for risk-taking and adventure. But before charging out of the gate, we need to be clear about what it is that we are chasing and why, so we don’t scatter our energies. Especially since the impetuous Aries Moon is square to Mars, its ruler (3:12 pm EDT), a more restless influence that can have us dissipating our efforts, if we’re not careful.

“The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear.” Brian Tracy

Famous Birthdays August 17th:  Actress Mae West, famous for her original, witty, and often sexy quips, was born on this day in 1892. West, an entertaining Leo Sun, had her pioneering Mars, the planet of sex and passion, conjunct her 10th house of career, at the very top of her chart. Her Mars was also in quirky, futuristic Aquarius. Perhaps one reason why she was not afraid to “break the rules” or defy traditional protocol at the time, especially with respect to openly discussing matters of a sexual nature. West did much to pave the way for more open expression here. Her feelings-oriented Cancer Moon was also exactly trine to uninhibited Uranus in Scorpio, the zodiacal sign of sex that is co-ruled by Mars. Uranus, of course, is the ruler of “liberating” Aquarius.

“Is that a gun in your pocket or are you glad to see me?” Mae West. 🙂

On a personal note: Just wanted to say that my schedule is very hectic now (transiting Uranus conjunct my Aries Ascendant). While I still hope to keep up this blog with some frequency, I will not be able to be with you on a regular, daily basis like I have been in the past, at least for the foreseeable future. I apologize.

Enjoy your Wednesday!

“Enthusiasm is the energy and force that builds literal momentum of the human soul and mind.” Bryant H. McGill

Final day for the Aries Moon. An energizing and galvanizing lunar position that supplies us with lots of momentum for getting things done.This is especially the case early and late in the day when we have the Moon sextiling enterprising Mars in clever Gemini (8:46 am EDT) and then trining “thinker” Mercury in sunny Leo (5:36 pm EDT). Both of those aspects support  our communication, discussion and decision-making efforts. We may also be waxing more eloquently now, as Mercury in Leo can be quite the orator, especially when courted by a passionate Aries Moon. Too, Moon-Mercury is a perfect time to give voice to our feelings and for speaking or writing about what is in our heart.

Enjoy your Friday!

Astrology July 21, 2011: Aries Moon Opposes “Father Time” Saturn

COSMIC WATCH:

The “trailblazing” Aries Moon encourages us to take initiative and to make discoveries on our own. Although the Moon’s opposition to “taskmaster” Saturn in relationship Libra (11:54 am EDT) also suggests that we need to remember to “play nice with others” along the way. Or at least be willing to tolerate a little interference with our plans.

John Maxwell in his book, Winning With People, mentions five “people principles” and one of those is the “Patience Principle,” which purports that “our journey with others is slower than the journey alone.”  This is so true, isn’t it? And possibly right on the money for us today, as Saturn also symbolizes patience.  Often when Saturn crosses our path, its main purpose is to help us build up our patience reserve.

Saturn is also referred to as “Father Time.” He is perennially pushing for us to be very mindful of our movements and how we are utilizing the time that we have been allotted.

“I want to go ahead of Father Time with a scythe of my own.” H. G. Wells

Enjoy your day. Remember the clock (Saturn) is ticking away!

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!

Astrology June 23, 2011: Moon in Pioneering Aries

COSMIC WATCH

“Action conquers fear.” Peter Nivio Zarlenga

The Moon’s ingress into pioneering Aries (4:24 am EDT) stokes our desire for new adventures. The Moon’s conjunction with change-agent Uranus (1:24 pm EDT) also acts to propel us into the future and potentially provides us with more of a platform to “do our own thing,” which the Aries Moon is already very receptive to doing. Rebel Uranus is associated with individuality and non-conformity. It encourages us not to render cookie-cutter responses, so this alignment can be very refreshing and rejuvenating for us, if we are but willing to be our true, authentic selves.

Later on, possible resistance from others to our plans, in the guise of the Moon’s square to controlling Pluto (5:08 pm EDT), in authoritative Capricorn, may have us wanting to retreat back to our Cancerian Sun “crab shells.” This may, indeed, be a very good time to go inside ourselves and examine our behavior and see if there is maybe something that we can either fix or purge (Pluto) that will help us to reunite more with our own sense of power, so we will feel less threatened or bothered by things external to us in the future.

Moon-Pluto can make us stronger by eliminating what is weaker or dead weight within us. Pluto governs the subconscious, and Pluto is always very ready to confer upon us deep insight, if we are willing to work with it. Moon-Pluto can be a very effective cathartic or healing agent. This configuration is also linked with actual surgery.

What would you like to reform or change about yourself? Anything?

Celebrity News:  Actor George Clooney and girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis have reportedly split up after a two-year courtship. George (born 5/6/61) has transiting Saturn in Libra in his 7th house of partnerships now opposing his “love goddess” Venus in Aries in his first house of new beginnings.

This is, unfortunately, a textbook divorce or separation aspect. This is partly because Venus-Saturn often tends to make us feel “cut off” from others (Saturn inhibits our expression). Then, of course, when we get to feeling this way, we often end up erecting even more walls around us, which is not favorable or conducive for romance.

Too, this Venus-Saturn aspect can also simply indicate, that we have outgrown a relationship and that it is, indeed, time to move on, as Saturn does equate with natural endings and Venus rules relationships. Sometimes, too, with this influence, our ambitions and goals for ourselves, which are also denoted by Saturn, come in conflict with our relationship needs and we have no choice but to make certain adjustments in our lives. Either certain goals and ambitions go, or the relationships go, etc. Too, I am only talking in a general sense here about this aspect. I have no idea what, in reality, led to George’s breakup.

With that said, George’s horoscope also suggests that he tends to be a very private and emotionally guarded person, to begin with, as he has his Moon, ruling his feelings and women, tightly conjunct his Saturn in Capricorn, the sign that Saturn rules. In general, this more complex configuration makes it easier for a person to live by themselves (bachelor), as they naturally don’t feel so compelled to share their innermost feelings with others. A large part of why we have romantic relationships is to share what we are feeling inside.

Plus, being a famous actor, he does have ample opportunity to vent his feelings on a world stage, vicariously playing different roles, and that may be enough emoting for him. Too, being so famous, he also probably needs to be a little defensive, at times, with others, to curb exploitation, gossip, etc. At any rate, I would think that Moon conjunct Saturn would despise living a fish bowl type of existence, and would vie for as much privacy as possible. George does have his assertive Mars in colorful, theatrical Leo, though, too, so he does know how to confidently handle himself and his affairs, and people will like him regardless. That planetary influence helps to make him very charismatic, especially with Mars in his fifth house of self-expression.

George’s Venus in flirtatious, “conquest-oriented” Aries, also suggests that he requires plenty of freedom in romance, and that he also ideally does best with a partner who is very independent like himself. I also, unfortunately, don’t have Elisabetta’s birth chart to see what she has going on at the moment. Anyway, I wish both of them well. Breakups are never any fun.

Enjoy your Thursday! Too, don’t be afraid to “do your own thing!” Remember, we are receiving that high-voltage prompting from Moon-Uranus today. We may even want to put on the hippie beads and bell bottoms. 🙂

Astrology May 28, 2011: Sun Quinqunx Pluto, Mars Quintile Neptune

COSMIC WATCH:

“Uncertainty and mystery are energies of life. Don’t let them scare you unduly, for they keep boredom at bay and spark creativity.” R.I. Fitzhenry

The Moon continues in active, adventurous Aries compatible for athletic endeavors and for taking initiative. The intellectual Gemini Sun is also forming a quinqunx to probing, intense Pluto in ambitious Capricorn. The complex Sun-Pluto influence gives us more of a desire to go in depth and we may also be more talented at playing detective and solving mysteries.

Too, with Pluto ruling the process of elimination this is an excellent time for purging what is no longer needed, including ridding ourselves of any self-sabotaging habits. Sun-Pluto also equates to a need for power, although we would be wise to make sure that we allow others to have their input as well, instead of completely usurping the show (a Pluto tendency).

Pioneering Mars in practical Taurus is quintile to imaginative Neptune in visualizing Pisces making manifestation of our dreams and desires on this day distinctly possible. This is a very mystical and spiritual aspect that allows for right of passage through rare portals leading to magical realms.

“To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palms of your hand and eternity in an hour.” William Blake

Hope you have a happy and safe Memorial Day weekend! I am going to be taking a short vacation and will be away from here for a few days.

Astrology May 26, 2011: “Need For Fiction” Venus Quintile Neptune

COSMIC WATCH:

“Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Moon continues in “fantasy” Pisces, during the day, and is void-of-course (without major aspect) until its entrance into “initiating” Aries later this evening (8:37 pm EDT), suggesting that we wrap up or attend to unfinished business, during the daytime hours, especially activities that allow for the full employment of our creative imagination.

Relationship Venus is also forming an inspiring, 72-degree link (quintile) to “idealistic” Neptune, the ruler of Pisces. This influence helps to awaken more of our heartfelt, tender impulses and it also tends to fuel our “need for fiction,” especially in the romance department. With “dreamy” Venus-Neptune aspects, we are characteristically more willing to overlook and to forgive, and we prefer not to focus upon anything unseemly. Our boundaries with others can also become more blurred, as our compassion is strengthened and our ego needs take a back seat.

Additionally, the Gemini Sun’s square to “wounded warrior” Chiron in Pisces today also acts to raise our sympathy level up a notch and makes us more capable of noble, selfless deeds.

Too, as I am writing this blog, it is being reported that Ratko Mladic, Europe’s most-wanted war crimes fugitive, was arrested today in Serbia (WSJ.com). It could be that this Sun-Chiron influence can also help us to “ferret out evil,” or perhaps galvanize us to deal more with “suffering” (Chiron). When Chiron’s ray is stoked, there is often a “suffering” component to it on some level. When Chiron first entered Pisces, for instance, I remember we had the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico (Pisces rules oil).

On a shadow level, Pisces is also the zodiacal sign that is linked with extremism, terrorism and hidden factions. It is a more complex sign. Embracing both the “saint” and the “sinner.”

Famous Birthdays May 26th: Sally Ride (60), Stevie Nicks (63). BTW, Stevie Nicks has relationship Venus in the mothering sign of Cancer exactly square to her “fantasy” Neptune in partnership Libra, giving her a tendency to always want to see the best in others. It also makes her more capable of self-sacrifice, especially where romance is concerned. Sometimes, too, with Venus-Neptune, we are attracted to more “wounded” types that we can help nurse back to health.

Venus-Neptune is also often a major artistic influence (Neptune rules music) and, of course, Stevie is a divine (Neptune) singer and performer, who nurtures the world (Venus in Cancer) through her extraordinary music. She is also “pioneering” in her approach with her Aries rising.

Enjoy your Thursday!

Astrology May 1, 2011: “Popes, Saints, Would-be Kings” Mars Conjunct Jupiter

COSMIC WEATHER:

“In his holy flirtation with the world, God occasionally drops a handkerchief. These handkerchiefs are called saints.” Frederick Buechner

With popes and beatification in the news, and would-be kings, it could be that Mars is aligned with Jupiter above! Mars and Jupiter are, indeed, conjunct in pioneering Aries now, and have been so for the last few days. This aspect is finally exact to the dot today (12:26 am EDT).

Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius (sign of religion and philosophy) and co-ruler of spiritual Pisces (ruler of saints), presides over affairs of royalty and and also clergyman, including religious figures such as the pope. Of course, we had the royal wedding on Friday of Kate Middleton and Prince William, and today, Pope Benedict XVI beatified Pope John Paul the II, bringing the late pontiff one step closer to sainthood. More than a million people descended on St. Peter’s Square and surrounding areas to partake in the event. Kate and Williams’s wedding was viewed by 2.6 billion people.

Expansive, grandiose Jupiter, associated with pomp and circumstance, generally wants everything done on a large, lavish scale. Part of his “perennially thinking big” mindset and orientation. Jupiter denotes the philosophy of optimism. “If you can believe it, you can achieve it bro! Don’t fret your poor self with worry over the pending charge account statement. You only go around once! You gotta’ live it up!” 🙂

With energizer Mars conjoined with jolly Jupiter, it is much easier for us now to get carried away with our dreams and enthusiasm, especially in “unstoppable” Aries, the sign of “act first, think later.” So, we may want to make sure that we are adding in at least some measure of common sense with our actions, so we don’t disappoint later, or bite off more than we can chew, in our glorious quest to get ahead and our name on the marquis.

With that said, this is a fantastic time for self-promotion and for selling ourselves. Too, we can even inject some Jupiterian humor into the situation, like President Obama did last night at the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington DC.

I was checking, last night, and it appears that we have only had this Mars-Jupiter conjunction in Aries two or three times in the past 100 years or so, although these two planets meet up every couple years by conjunction. So today’s exact event is very rare. Too, we also have the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Uranus in Aries, the official sign of new beginnings. We will also not have this many planets in Aries again for many years, at least 12+ years or more. Also, the Aries Moon is simultaneously conjunct both Jupiter (10:51 am EDT) and Mars (11:21 am EDT) adding even more icing on our personality cakes.

What this all means, to me, is we have a golden, and again, very rare opportunity to re-design and re-invent ourselves now in unprecedented ways. Aries is about self-discovery, and also turning over a new leaf. If we have maybe been feeling down in the dumps, we need to somehow find a way to re-kindle our passions again today, and attempt to make our lives spectacular and magnificent, on the grand, lavish scale of Mars-Jupiter. To have the world around us take notice of us for our crowing achievements and singular contributions for the good of humanity. Even if we may initially only be a “big fish in a small pond.” At least, it’s a beginning! And, we’ll also do Mars-Jupiter proud! May the “Mars-Jupiter force,” be with you today!

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Most people have a harder time letting themselves love than finding someone to love them.” Bill Russell

Today’s Venus-Saturn opposition (8:15 pm EDT) has been linked with a “fear of involvement,”or a general “resistance to love.” Saturn symbolically represents our fears, also our duties and obligations. When it is aligned with Venus, governing our affections, there can be some blockages in the expression of our feelings for a myriad of reasons. Or we may just feel more obligated by love. Sometimes, too, with this aspect, others let us down or do not give us the support that we need. Venus-Saturn also has some history with separations. Regardless of the scenario, we may find that we prefer our own company more now.

Financially, because Venus also rules money, we may encounter some temporary restrictions or challenges in this area. It may also behoove us to be more frugal (Saturn) now, or to try getting by with less.

Meanwhile, the Moon’s placement in fiery, “start-me-up” Aries means we have a tally of six planets in this restless sign, today and tomorrow. (Won’t have this number again here for several years.) We also have 8 planets in the cardinal signs (also linked with originating action).

With such a preponderance of Aries and Cardinal energy, we will want to make sure that we are finding a way to expend all of this physical energy. Gardening, or yard work, may be ideal for us now, especially with the Sun in earthy Taurus. I personally went shopping for flowers today at the local farmer’s market and will be planting them tomorrow. I also have an Aries rising and, have to admit, I am really feeling the weight of the Aries energy. I seem to be having more difficulty focusing and concentrating on tasks. Anyone else feeling this way?

Enjoy your Saturday!
