COSMIC WEATHER:
We’ve been into the Neptunian Kool-Aid again.
We’re certain that George Clooney is hot for us.
Not to worry that we’ve never even met George Clooney.
We can tell he’s crazy for us by the cryptic way he looks at us in the magazine photographs.
And the way he licks his lips, when no one else is around.
We’re suffering from the three-D’s today: Delusion, Deception, and Diarrhea of the Mouth.
As Love Child Venus in Leo gets sucked into a tempestuous opposition with Deceptive Neptune. And, the Moon leaves Moneybags Taurus for Chatterbox Gemini.
We also are led to believe that today’s traveling, communicative Gemini Moon will surely inspire George to come a calling at our door.
Any minute now, that doorbell should be ringing.

The Universe is being a big royal pain in the butt putting all this heavy stuff on my humble plate to decipher, after I’ve been vacuuming all day and am plum tired. Plus, I’m almost out of vacuum bags. A terrifying thought.
Why the heck I picked this type of career this time around is beyond me. All I know is next time I’m coming back as a rich politician with all the perks on Capitol Hill. I’m sick and tired of working so hard and getting so very little respect.
I can’t even afford a good vacuum to suck up all the filth and dirt around me. Instead I have had to hire a poor Democrat to do that and he’s threatening to go on strike for low wages.
Well, I’m sorry. But times are tough and people have had to cut way, way back on their fortune-telling expenditures and that’s all I can afford to pay. Plus I noticed an elephant-size dustball was missed in the corner of the spare bedroom. Not very thorough. I bet a Republican would have done a much better job and would have been much more accountable.
Also, would you believe my crystal ball has even signed a warrant for my arrest for defaming it the other night for saying the pea soup in it looked like green Kool-Aid?
Well, again, I’m sorry Crystal Ball, but a spade is a spade and I call things as I see them!
Geez.
Crystal Ball, get frickin’ over it!
I also know the Ball is probably just trying to litigate to get money from me, but the gig is not going to work. I’m wise to you, Ball. I can see through you, except when you’re having sex and you’re all fogged up. Or, like the other night, when Neptune crossed your path and you turned “liar, liar, pants on fire green.”
What I think I’m also going to do here is re-post the green Crystal Ball photo from the earlier blog in question and let you take a look at it, as evidence to clear me.
Now, doesn’t that look like green Kool-Aid to you? It doesn’t look like pea soup green, does it?
I rest my case.
The Crystal Ball is nothing but an opportunist and a leech. Trying to defraud me of my hard-earned money.
Anyway, the gig is over for all of us today, I’m sad to say. This is because another Crystal Ball that I have is revealing to me two detectives hovering over a counter at a doughnut shop in Fargo, North Dakota. Whenever that Ball shows me this scenario it means we are all close to being busted, especially if both of the detectives are eating jelly rolls, which in this case, they are. I worry less when they’re eating chocolate doughnuts.
Plus, as corroborating evidence for this clairvoyant prediction, we have fast-talker Mercury square law enforcement Mars today which always screams “busted” big time! Too, Mars is in meticulous, highly detailed Virgo, so he probably has photos and fingerprints of all of our indiscretions. Mercury in loudmouth Gemini has also no doubt ratted on us and helped Mars to develop the photos and process the fingerprints. We have to put up with Mercury’s little butt for two more weeks in this tattle-tale sign.
No, expect to pay some measure of bail today to reclaim your freedom after you’re busted. That will probably end up putting you in a pissy mood for the rest of the day, so watch your temper as well.
On the plus side, we do have lovable Venus in nurturing Cancer wanting to pick up elderly men in retirement centers today by way of Venus’s sextile to Saturn in Virgo. Again, this sextile influence will only work if there is enough Viagra to go around for all the men in the center. Saturn is also in that odd quinqunx relationship to Drug-Purveyor Neptune, so I’m not sure the supply will be sufficient. Venus and Saturn may need to resort to more natural methods, but with Mercury square sexy Mars there could be some problems here and fuses may be too short for total gratification. Again, bigger is always better.
Getting busted. Posting bail. Pissy mood. Also, if you have any free time left, another B-I-G day for breakthrough discoveries, hula hoop type inventions, serious investigations, figuring things out. Try to refrain, however, from launching any full-scale wars.
The matter of the Venus-Saturn quest for geriatric sex. I imagine there will be some rekindling of the old glory days among the guys.
In the News:
In my blog yesterday, I wrote tongue and cheek about symbolically digging up and uncovering dirt, how that may be appropriate now with inquisitive Mercury in Gemini and energetic Mars in analytical “clean freak” Virgo, both superb placements for fact-finding and analysis. I also mentioned the monumental Jupiter-Uranus conjunction which facilitates sudden realizations.
Did you hear about the Arlington National Cemetery scandals that were reported in the media on Thursday? Over 200 military graves have problems with misidentification or improper record keeping, plus there are other anomalies at the cemetery. Heads have already started to roll there. Unfortunately, I may have been onto something inadvertently about “the dirt” on another level (the graves) and didn’t even know it.
Aries is also the zodiacal sign that rules the military. I think this is yet another manifestation of the Jupiter-Uranus in Aries conjunction which can yield some very wild findings and discoveries, especially with Mars in Virgo in the background doing the thorough investigating. I think probably we have a lot of more of this type of thing ahead of us. Also there is increasing investigation and scrutiny into the BP oil spill and what really went on there and whether our government may have lied to us.
This Arlington Cemetery scandal also hit with Mercury separating from deception Neptune, often a time when we can hear about weird stuff that may have been a cover-up. Too, transiting Mercury was applying to an exact square to Mars when this story broke. Mars is also connected to war and military issues as the planetary ruler of Aries. I have observed in my astrological research whenever we have strong Mars aspects, usually the square aspects, we have breaking news stories that are often unprecedented in nature. Mars rules aggression, too, so often the stories have this element to them in some capacity.
This update: The NYT is reporting that the Pope today begged forgiveness from God and victims of child sexual abuse by priests and vowed that everything would be done in the Church to prevent this situation from ever happening again. The Pope’s remarks came during a homily in St. Peter’s square to end the Church’s “Year of the Priest” celebrations. The Pope also said that the Church would enact stronger controls on choosing men who enter the priesthood.
These remarks coming from the Pope are coinciding with the exact square today from Mercury in Gemini to Mars in the “chastity sign” of Virgo the Virgin. Mars not only rules aggression, as I mentioned earlier, it also rules sex, and Mercury rules younger people, so symbolically, the “square aspect” also captures the abuse. The priests “are busted,” their activities caught, going along with the “arrest theme” of today’s blog. We are also coming off that exact square from Mercury to Neptune which would symbolize “communication from the Pope” and it can be pertaining to deceptive or hidden cover-up matters (Neptune).
Mercury also rules words and conversation, so we have the airing or communication of this topic in public. As I also wrote earlier in my blog, Mercury Mars has a way of disclosing “firsts” or unprecedented events, especially now with the backdrop of the Jupiter/Uranus discovery conjunction.
Saturn in “pure, fix the problem Virgo” is also moving into that exact quinqunx or adjustment aspect again with Neptune and Neptune often represents the Pope and spiritual matters and Saturn lays down the law and can be very punishing. This aspect, though, on the positive side, could bring about the changes the Pope is referring to, as the quinqunx here can be powerful. In the meantime, it can also be a very painful time, when our dreams and hopes (Neptune) can temporarily dissolve under the press of reality (Saturn).
I think this Saturn-Neptune influence is also really waking us up now to the fact of the tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico and we’re all very disgusted about it and feeling very disillusioned and very depressed because so little seems to be getting done here in the way of stopping the flow of oil. And, we also don’t know who may be lying to us – but expect full clarification here in the weeks to come with Mars now in investigation Virgo! (Neptune rules the sea and oil, deception; Saturn rules depression, often a fallout from Neptunian-ruled disillusionment.) This is a hard karma aspect for the planet, but we will get through this. Jupiter and Uranus portends great things, interventions at some point. Wonder what kind of miracles and records at the 2010 World Cup? Aries also rules sports!

“Our inventions mirror our secret wishes.” Lawrence Durrell
It would be so helpful if someone could invent a delightful “speed dial feature” that I could add to my Crystal Ball that would allow me to expedite my fortune-telling capabilities and thereby free me up for other fun-filled activities such as vacuuming or maybe extensive removal of offensive tea or coffee stains from my soiled laundry.
It is highly embarrassing and bad feng shui energy to have stained laundry in the clothes hamper when you know that, at any minute, it could get discovered by space aliens. I hardly sleep at night anymore, I am so worried about the unsightly stains and my lack of time to remove them and how this dilemma may keep me from voyaging to new galaxies.
Too, all my life I have wanted more time for vacuuming, and I’m talking serious vacuuming here involving the use of several dirt bags. Done properly, and with deliberate, heartfelt effort, vacuuming can be such an intimate and incredibly mind-altering experience, especially when you live alone, and you’re female, and can seductively draw the curtains all the way back.
I know, too, that I would rather listen to the sound of a vacuum than even to a symphony by any of the world’s greatest composers. There’s just something about a vacuum pitch that is so reassuring and comforting. So primal.
As a woman, too, I know that my loyal vacuum will always be there for me to hold on to, unlike some of the dirt bag men I’ve known in my life who eagerly sucked out my contents and then suddenly vanished into thin air, not even leaving me a trail of dust to spit on and vacuum up afterwards.
The reason I am opening up and finally sharing with you my private vacuum wish today, something I have wanted to reveal to you for quite a while now, and also assorted details of my previous romantic encounters, and fervid desire for a speed dialer for my Crystal Ball, is because today in the cosmos we are deeply, deeply privileged to have impinging upon our cerebral consciousness the divine movement of “Thought Keeper” Mercury into intellectually-curious Gemini (1:41 am EDT), the communication sign, that it proudly rules.
Mercury here elevates our curiosity, accelerates our thinking, and makes us ravenous for information and conversation.
We also have an opportunity for colossal discoveries and the possibility of new inventions now because this Winged Creature will be aligning today with both expansive Jupiter and genius Uranus via the stimulating sextile aspect, assuming everyone has taken their Viagra, of course.
So, Mercury-Jupiter-Uranus together as one, spells B-I-G Day for the collective for brainy ideas that can change and transform the world. I am very excited about the possibilities of this energy.
By the way, here’s one obscure piece of astrological trivia for you that sort of fits right in here: Triple A Motor Club, the travel-related entity, came into being on a creative Mercury sextile Uranus day. Mercury pertains to both communication and transportation. Uranus, as most of us know, ushers in the new. Triple A was a pretty big deal, and more novel (Uranus) concept for travelers at the time (Mercury) – and it’s still around.
Meanwhile, the Moon changes from placid Taurus to Mercury’s very own restless Gemini sign today (at 6:12 pm EDT). The evening time may bring an even more accelerated pace to the cosmic energy, but we are also more potentially combative with a square to Mars. Vacuuming is highly advisable as an intelligent way to vent now. Especially for single women who have done their laundry.
“I’m not going to vacuum until Sears makes one you can ride on.” Roseanne Barr
Just in to my attention from reporter Mercury in Gemini sextile Jupiter/Uranus in discovery Aries: Oldestexample of a leather shoe has been discovered by archaeologists in a cave in Armenia. It supposedly predates Stonehenge by 400 years and the Pyramids of Giza by 1,000 years. Researches say it was made from a single strip of leather and was made to fit the wearer’s foot. Wonder if it may need a little vacuuming? Can you imagine all the microscopic dirt and dust that must be on it. We will probably need a powerful industrial-size vacuum for this cleaning, don’t you think? Something energetic Mars in cleanaholic Virgo can easily handle.
Ironically, when I woke up this morning, I was thinking how it may just be our very karma and higher destiny now to clean and discover beaucoup amounts of new dirt all around us with this Jupiter/Uranus discovery energy and passionate Mars in pristine Virgo to guide us. I’m sure curious Mercury in Gemini today, too, will be able to scope out all the unlimited filth about each and everyone of us that’s fit to print and put on the internet. What a mind-boggling day to be a reporter!
Also, on a more serious note, with this powerful energy for cleaning now, maybe some genius will finally be able to figure out how to clean up the tragic mess in and along the Gulf. Mars will be in thorough Virgo until the end of July, perfect for devising new clean up strategies, especially along side Jupiter and Uranus.
Event in history on this date:
John F.Kennedy signs into law “for equal pay for equal work” for men and women on June 10, 1963. Pioneering Mars was in Virgo, the sign of work, conjunct (together with) Uranus, the freeing planet of equality. How cool is that?
June 10th birthdays:
John Edwards, Eliot Spitzer (Wow, something in the cosmic drinking water for June 10th?)
Also, adding a new daily feature here. “The Cosmic Word for the Day.” Today’s Cosmic Word can actually be two words or one word: “Dust mite” or “Dustmite.” With Mercury, ruler of words, entering dual-bodied Gemini today, I thought it would be appropriate to have a word with two spellings.
Enjoy your Thursday! Find a way to unearth your dream and make it fit into your life today along side that prehistoric shoe.

In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do.” Stephen R. Covey
Tucking away that sage bit of wisdom to perhaps chew on later, the ever-changing Moon is ready to continue on to her next information-gathering stop in curious, communicative Gemini.
That is the mindset today. We want to find out and know a little bit about everything with emphasis on “little.” We’ll have more time to fully digest and philosophize about all the meaning of this new knowledge when the Moon moves through mutable Virgo and Sagittarius.
The lighthearted and fun-loving Gemini Moon also makes us Chatty Cathy in addition to reminding us not to take ourselves too seriously now. Our humor is also in greater supply, thankfully.
Overall, pretty cool feng shui energy for a fun Saturday.
Event in history on this date:
Beatle Paul McCartney reportedly met his future wife Linda Eastman on May 15, 1967. Most notable astrological influence here was the transiting, life-changing Pluto at 18 Virgo exactly trining his relationship Venus at 18 Taurus. The very same type of influence that Simon Cowell now has in his horoscope. Simon has transiting Pluto in Capricorn trining his Venus in Virgo. He is supposedly now engaged and poised to get married.
Pluto, which I regard as our planet of destiny, brings us those situations for which we were born. (I also know Pluto has technically been de-throned from planetary status.) When Pluto is aligned with Goddess of Love Venus, it can and often does bring us the person we were meant to love. Or, in other words, brings us our soul mate. I can personally attest to this fact, as I also met my husband with transiting Pluto exactly trine to my natal Venus.
Venus also represents things that we love, our possessions, and also things that we create. Venus rules our artistic creativity. As I mentioned the other day, Mick Jagger, who penned the lyrics to Satisfaction in May of 1965 (Keith Richards composed the music to it in his Neptunian sleep), also had the transiting Pluto exactly conjoined his Venus at the time. So for Mick, Pluto and Venus was synonymous with creating something of a masterpiece that fatefully changed his life (the song would become the Rolling Stones’ signature trademark). Mick would always have a special, symbolic “soul mate” relationship with Satisfaction in a way.
Linda Eastman also had transiting Pluto exactly sextile to her natal Scorpio Moon in her first house of new beginnings when she met Paul. The feminine Moon governs our feelings and nurturing emotions and in karmic astrology symbolizes our past life experiences. The transiting Pluto to the Moon often delivers to us those experiences that transform or “wake us up” emotionally. I believe Linda and Paul were probably soul mates in a previous lifetime since both of them came together in this incarnation under Pluto’s powerful ray.
Looking at Linda’s and Paul’s horoscopes here, there is so much more I could write about now but, with the Moon in restless Gemini, I’m feeling the need to move on. I am sure you are, too. Perhaps we can revisit this matter of their two horoscopes later.
Enjoy your Saturday! Do Gemini proud and stay in motion. Don’t be a couch potato!

“First learn the meaning of what you say, and then speak.” Epictetus.
Can you imagine, if each of us abided by that simple philosophy, how much quieter our world would be, in terms of sheer stillness? Especially on a day when the Moon enters Gemini, the “communication sign?”
Anyway, some food for thought today as the Moon switches from determined Taurus to breezy, noisy Gemini (9:18 am EDT). With the Moon here, we are much more restless and curious and want to be on the go.
We are also, theoretically, more talented at multi-tasking now with the duality of The Twins. However, with both mental Mercury and the Sun still weighed down in focused Taurus, this may not quite be the case today.
Still, a good day for errand-running, attending to emails, correspondence, reading, short trips.
And good for speaking, with some qualifications as noted above.
Event in history on this date:
On May 14, 1973, (Frontiero v. Richardson) the U.S. Supreme Court approved equal rights to females in the military. Included here, the Court decided that benefits given by the U.S. Military could not be given out differently because of gender.
Check out the cool cosmic energy backdrop for the Court’s decision then:
1) Expansive Jupiter was traveling through Aquarius, the futuristic sign of the collective, that is concerned with equality for all. Usually, wherever Jupiter is we have increased opportunities for the affairs ruled by the sign it is passing through, so hence, more chance for equal rights.
2) Saturn, Keeper of the Status Quo, was in intellectual Gemini and exactly harmoniously trine to liberating Uranus in Libra, the sign of the courts. Uranus in Libra helped to broaden out the former way of thinking (Saturn) here and put the issue of equality on the table. (Uranus rules Aquarius.)
3) Transformational Pluto had just entered court-ruling Libra. On the day of the decision, transiting Venus in Gemini was also favorably trine to Pluto. Venus depicts females. So, we correspondingly had a sweeping ruling involving women by the Court. Pluto is also synonymous with historic firsts.
4) Finally, feminine Venus was also square masculine Mars in Pisces, so we had the “gender issue” and “battle of the sexes” symbolically playing out here. Mars also rules the military. Squares meanwhile force actions.
Too, Mars in compassionate Pisces is more of a “spiritual warrior” placement. It is more concerned with fighting for civil rights when it is in this sign, as idealistic Pisces represents disenfranchised groups, or persons who are suffering. Mars therefore was temporarily more aligned with the cause of the female underdog passing through Pisces than it might normally be.
Enjoy your Friday! Remember, “know” the meaning of what you say, before you speak it.

The pace quickens as the Moon leaves laid back Taurus for “Can we talk?” Gemini (at 2:08 am EDT Saturday). The air is filled with a cacophony of voices parlaying scintillating pieces of information, misinformation. Mercury also turns retrograde in Taurus (at 12:06 am EDT Sunday). Best to defer signing important contracts until May 11th. (That is when Mercury resumes direct motion again).
Meanwhile, a pleasant sextile aspect from relationship Venus to expansive Jupiter bodes well for romance and our power of attraction.
Memorable event in history on this date:
The “Ford Mustang” is formally introduced on April 17, 1964 with a base price of $2368. Lucky Jupiter just entered Taurus, the sign of possessions, and was exactly sextile to stabilizing Saturn in Pisces – a perfect time to debut a product for long-term success. Also, Mars was strong at home in Aries, giving us a love of sports cars!
