“In this world one is seldom reduced to make a selection between two alternatives. There are as many varieties of conduct and opinion as there are turns of feature between an aquiline nose and a flat one.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

COSMIC WATCH:

Variety is said to be the “spice of life.” Today may be an especially good day to seek it out, with the Moon’s ingress into curious Gemini (11:42 am EDT) and also trailblazer Mars square to non-conforming Uranus, the planet of change and innovation. Too, while Mars-Uranus has been known to coincide with sweeping reforms (and revolts), it’s not always necessary to make wholesale changes with this influence to inject new life and variety into our lives; sometimes by tweaking things just a little, we can begin to shift the energy around us in a positive way – like casting a pebble into the water and witnessing the corresponding ripple affect. “And that is how change happens. One gesture. One person. One moment at a time.” Libba Bray

This might also be a good day to reflect upon, and to ask ourselves, “How open are we to issues of diversity (Uranus)?” “Christian, Jew, Muslim, shaman, Zoroastrian, stone, ground, mountain, river, each has a secret way of being with the mystery, unique and not to be judged.” Rumi

It should also be noted that on the heels of the Mars-Uranus influence, Israeli and Palestinian officials agreed to resume negotiations, something that hasn’t occurred for a long while (we also still have the healing grand water trine taking place between Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune). Whether or not these negotiations will be successful, remains to be seen, but at least an attempt is being made to make some progress here. Mars is also in Cancer (as is Jupiter), which not only governs the home and family, but also issues of patriotism, or allegiance to one’s country, and matters of territorialism. Uranus is also in new beginnings Aries, which can foster pioneering approaches or strategies. The square aspect, itself, is often a catalyst for taking action on matters.

Too, today the sentencing phase begins for Bradley Manning. Many have characterized him as a traitor to his country (Cancer) for giving classified U.S. military (Aries) information to Wikileaks. Yesterday, he was found guilty of espionage and theft charges, but acquitted of aiding the enemy. Symbolically, Mars-Uranus can signify “having to deal with rogue behavior.” Manning faces 136 years in prison on the charges.

Famous Birthdays July 31: Milton Friedman, J.K. Rowling, Geraldine Chaplin.

“If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.” J.K. Rowling

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Astrology December 25, 2012: Merry Christmas! Gemini Moon, Mars in Aquarius

“Christmas doesn’t come from a store, maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more….” Dr. Seuss.

COSMIC WATCH:

This Christmas, conversation may be flowing like the holiday eggnog with the Moon’s entrance into chatty Gemini (2:13 am EST). A perfect day for gathering and sharing information and for catching up with those persons who we have maybe been out of the loop with for a while.

The Moon is also appropriately conjunct big-hearted Jupiter (7:18 pm EST), the planet that is the astrological archetype for Santa. Hopefully, this optimistic configuration will also be the magical key that unlocks our own unlimited supply of generosity and goodwill. Wouldn’t that be nice?

Later this evening, we also have another major shift with motivator Mars stepping into progressive Aquarius (7:49 pm EST), where it will stay until February 1. Mars in Aquarius means that it’s time to adopt more of a team-approach to things and to try untested methods.

The Sun is also squaring futuristic Uranus tonight (8:31 pm EST), the modern day ruler of Aquarius, further allowing us to embrace and gravitate to new experiences. It could be that we may want to add some new traditions or customs to this special day now, as Uranus is all about expanding beyond the norm, sometimes even in quirky or offbeat ways. “Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.” Paul Coelho

What is your special wish for this Christmas?

Famous December 25 Birthdays: Karl Rove, Jimmy Buffett, Barbara Mandrell, Humphrey Bogart, Annie Lennox.

“Ask yourself: Have you been kind today? Make kindness your daily modus operandi and change your world.” Annie Lennox

For those of you who celebrate this glorious day, I hope you all have a very, merry Christmas! Please be safe. Much love to you and yours.

Astrology October 31, 2012: Moon Enters Chatty Gemini

COSMIC WATCH:

“The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn’t being said.”
Peter Drucker

The Moon shifts into “chatty” Gemini this afternoon (2:40 pm EDT), offering up a surefire forum for conversation and exchanging information with each other. Too, as Peter Drucker noted above, we will likely be afforded ample opportunity to pay special attention to the various nuances of communication now, including noting what is not being said. Also, perhaps, observing how things are being said – the intonation, the rate of speech.

Too, isn’t it always fascinating to observe individual body language and to see how it supports, or does not support, the verbalization? This aspect is perhaps even more intriguing for us now with the Sun’s passage through investigative, probing Scorpio, a time when we are naturally more inclined to want to play detective and go below the surface of things. “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” Albert Einstein

The Gemini Moon also finishes up her day with a late night trine to sweet Venus (11:33 pm EDT), hopefully paving the way for greater intimacy. Venus symbolizes our power of attraction and need for connection. “They slipped briskly into an intimacy from which they never recovered.” F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise.

Moon in Gemini activities: social media, writing, public speaking, lecturing, teaching, cold-calling, networking, sightseeing, short trips, automobile shopping, events with siblings, information-gathering or fact-finding, reporting.

Famous People Born October 31: Dan Rather, Michael Landon. “I think all of us create our own miracles.” Michael Landon.

What do you think makes someone an effective communicator?

Happy Halloween!

Astrology July 15, 2012: “Standing Guard” Sun Square Saturn

14 Saturday Jul 2012

COSMIC WATCH:

“Self-defense is nature’s eldest law.” John Dryden

With the “illuminating” Sun squaring “guarded” Saturn today (12:14 am EDT) we may feel more of a desire us to protect our own interests now, as Saturn symbolically represents our need for security. This may also translate into setting boundaries around areas that are dear to us. Too, sometimes setting appropriate boundaries can be an important form of self-care. Or put another way, a boundary can be viewed as a safe harbor container for our energy. Boundaries help us to conserve our resources so we are not all over the place. They also help us to construct and communicate our individual identities.

Additionally, the Moon in communication Gemini serves us well here as it can help us to articulate our feelings in an effective manner so people know where we stand on things. When we are unable to communicate our needs or desires is when we often run the risk of having our boundaries compromised or misunderstood. “Do not say a little in many words but a great deal in a few.” Pythagoras

Famous July 15 Birthdays: Jesse Venture, Linda Ronstadt. “The thing that you have to be prepared for is that other people don’t always dream your dream.” Linda Ronstadt

Entertainment News Update: I happened to see on Twitter this morning that the Bruce Springsteen-Paul McCartney concert at London’s Hyde Park was silenced last night after the two reportedly defied a 10:30 pm curfew. Of course, as an astrologer, I immediately got to thinking about the nature of the more restrictive (sometimes punitive) Sun square Saturn aspect in operation now. Karma Lord Saturn has often been likened to a paternal authority figure. Saturn typically has no problem taking us to task when we do not play by the rules, as this planet can be a stickler for conformity. Ironically, Saturn is also associated with hearing issues and deafness and these two iconic entertainers had their performances silenced. Too, communicator Mercury just went retrograde yesterday in entertainment Leo. 🙂

What is it that you feel you must you defend at all costs? What gives you a sense of security? How might others know you by your boundaries?

Astrology May 22, 2012: Mercury Conjuncts Jupiter

21 Monday May 2012

, , , , , , ,

COSMIC WATCH:

Mercury conjunct philosophical Jupiter brings an expansive quality to the mind. Not only is there an abundance of enthusiasm for communication and for gathering and imparting information, there is also more of an ability to comprehend the broader aspects of issues, commonly referred to as the “big picture” point of view. On the flip side, we may be less interested now regarding the fine details of matters, something that we may want to be mindful of if we are doing any long-range planning. “Caress the detail, the divine detail.” Vladimir Nabokov

This is also an excellent day to expose ourselves to the ideas and beliefs of other cultures, as not only are we potentially more tolerant of divergent viewpoints now, we are also more eager to add new outlooks or perceptions to our intellectual toolboxes. Too, the Sun, Moon and Venus are all deposited in curious Gemini, so the Universe really seems to be committed to nudging us along in the direction of new learning and an expanded mindset.

We may additionally want to examine our beliefs about money and wealth creation today, with the Mercury Jupiter conjunction occurring in bullish Taurus. Just exactly how might our beliefs be serving us here? How may they be hindering us? What actions might we take now to ensure our financial freedom in the future? “The lack of money is the root of all evil.” Mark Twain.

Astrology May 21, 2012: Mercury Quinqunx Saturn

COSMIC WATCH:

While we are still jazzed about the new options before us, in the aftermath of Sunday’s sizzling solar eclipse in excitable Gemini, today we have more time for reflection and evaluation with intellectual Mercury in a quinqunx aspect to skeptical Saturn. This more awkward blend of energy is meant to provide us with a reality check. Mercury-Saturn suggests that we may need to apply some technical know-how now to our ideas, to make sure they can really fly. Also, with Saturn in Libra, the sign of others, it could be that this awareness manifests in the form of other people providing us with their opinions or input about what they think is best for us.

Sometimes, too, with Mercury Saturn, our voice (Mercury) is literally or symbolically muted (Saturn). We are more fearful of speaking up. If we are feeling this way now, we may want to curiously go deeper with this thread and see where it leads. We may find that it is originating from a self-limiting belief about ourselves that we need to address. “Everything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken out loud.” Hermann Hesse

Famous People with Moon in Gemini: Howard Cosell, Jack Benny, Betty Davis, Goldie Hawn.

What topics give you energy when you discuss them? What topics tend to drain you?

Astrology April 25, 2012: Mercury Squares Pluto

COSMIC WATCH:

With the Moon still nestled in “inquisitive” Gemini, gathering and disseminating information is a breeze for us now.  Although, with intellectual Mercury squaring “probing” Pluto (10:51 am EDT), the ruler of our subconscious, we are also more reluctant to simply take things at face value. All in all, it is probably a great day to play detective, or to dig beneath the surface.

BTW, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, had his natal Mercury closely conjunct investigative Pluto in his “behind the scenes” twelfth house, a part of our horoscopes that also figures in prominently with our imagination and karma. “Any truth is better than indefinite doubt.” Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Famous People with Mercury Square Pluto: Barbra Streisand, D.H. Lawrence (Yours truly also has her Mercury exactly square Pluto!)

How important is it to you that you be open and honest in your dealings with others? What elements have to be present before you can comfortably “show your cards” to another?

Enjoy your Wednesday! Happy sleuthing!

Astrology April 23, 2012: Sun Trines Mars

COSMIC WATCH:

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.” Dale Carnegie

With the “empowering” Sun trining “courageous” Mars (8:59 pm EDT), the planet of action and adventure, we are more inclined to test our personal limits today. Or raise the bar on our performance. Sun-Mars aspects are also historically linked with new beginnings and discoveries. For example, Ted Turner launched CNN on a day when the Sun in “communication” Gemini was exactly square to Mars in “skillful, perfecting” Virgo.

Too, Sun-Mars is an excellent catalyst for helping us get unstuck, as Mars rules our motivation or drive to succeed. When it is aligned with the Sun, which symbolizes our ego and deep sense of self, we usually have more of a well of self-confidence, enthusiasm, and willpower. Mars also governs our physical energy.

The Moon’s entrance into “curious” Gemini (1:05 pm EDT) additionally supplies us with a plethora of fresh ideas or perspectives today, which can always be very invigorating. Our ideas potentially hold so much power for us, don’t they? Sometimes, just one thought can change the trajectory of our lives forever when we choose to act on it.

What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

Famous People with Sun Trine Mars: Warren Beatty.

Enjoy your Monday!

COSMIC WATCH:

While we all desire certainty in our lives, to some degree, with the Moon in inquisitive Gemini now we are also attracted to the world of the unknown, analogous perhaps to periodically wanting to visit a new vacation site to stretch our experiences. Too, when we journey to new places, we often have a sense of wonderment and excitement about our surroundings, which can be very invigorating for us. So, courting a sense of adventure, and being open to surprises, may be especially what we want to strive for today with the Moon in the sign of the curious twins.

Gemini is also a very interactive sign and with the Gemini Moon making harmonious aspects to both the Sun and Mercury we have ideal energy for stimulating conversation, along with taking action to expand our circle of influential acquaintances. “The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships.” Anthony Robbins

February 2 Birthdays: James Joyce, Ayn Rand, Farrah Fawcett, Liz Smith

Today’s Affirmation: My life is unfolding in ways that are new and exciting. I welcome life’s rich surprises.

COSMIC WATCH:

Our passions are stoked as love goddess, Venus, opposes desire lord, Mars. By demonstrating unselfish giving and caring, we also help to ensure that our beloved’s needs will be tenderly met. Too, what is often a potent elixir for bridging any relationship gaps is bestowal of a warm smile, coupled with an abundance of heartfelt listening. “Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. The friends who listen to us are the ones we move toward. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand.” Dr. Karl Augustus Menninger

The Moon also leaves Taurus for “curious, lighthearted” Gemini (2:14 pm EST), aligning us with a bevy of bright ideas over the next two days. Also, instilling within us a hearty appetite for fun and frolic. “We don’t stop playing because we turn old, but turn old because we stop playing.” Unknown source.

February 1 Birthdays: Lisa Marie Presley, Princess Stephanie of Monaco

Today’s Affirmation:  I am engulfed with a passion for living and giving. I am eager to share what is in my heart.
