COSMIC WATCH:

“I approached everything, my job, my family, my romances, with intensity.” Gene Tierney

The Moon in probing Scorpio admonishes us to dig deeper into matters today. With the illuminating Sun also opposing secretive Pluto, Scorpio’s ruler, we have an even greater likelihood of being able to uncover and solve some of life’s perplexing riddles. Sun-Pluto is akin to shining a flashlight (Sun) into a cave (Pluto). Things that were hidden are suddenly brought out into the open and their emergence can be very telltale and transforming.

This aspect also carries with it a more intense concentration or focus of energy which helps to fill us with greater determination and ability to achieve our ends. The potential downside with it is that it can incline us to want to force matters and when that happens, we can often find ourselves suddenly meeting up with some formidable resistance. “Force is all-conquering, but its victories are short-lived.” Abraham Lincoln.

Additionally we have the Sun squaring rebellious Uranus which also tends to encourage us to defy tradition or challenge authority. Part of why we may be doing this, too, is because we are seeking greater personal freedom. We perhaps internally sense that our socialized conditioning is holding us back from expressing our true nature.

At the same time, this influence can also inspire us to be much more innovative in our daily approach to our lives. Uranus is the planet of invention and genius. Today is really an excellent day to for brainstorming and for achieving mental breakthroughs, especially since we also have intellectual Mercury in creative Leo forming an exact sextile to expansive Jupiter in curious Gemini. This Mercury-Jupiter aspect should help to unleash a floodgate of ideas for us. It is excellent for speaking and writing. It may also introduce some much needed humor or light-hearted spontaneity into our day to subdue more of the Sun-Pluto, Sun-Uranus potential drama. Mercury-Jupiter is also an ideal aspect for allowing us to see the big picture. “Nobody will ever notice that. Filmmaking is not about the tiny details. It’s about the big picture.” Ed Wood

Today may also potentially be one of the “standout days” of the year for us, because the Cancer Sun is activating the game-changing Uranus-Pluto square, forming a cardinal T-square in the sky. The cardinal t-square itself tends to make things pop. It often serves as a catalyst to galvanize us into action. Elvis, for example, was born with a cardinal t-square in his chart and we know how he shook up the music world.  We may also get a greater glimpse or preview into the general meaning or message of the long-term Uranus square Pluto influence and its implication for our lives today.

How is your “big picture” looking? What might you do now to revamp it so it becomes even more ideal for you? What big mystery would you like to crack? What would you like to break free from now? How might your conditioning be holding you back?

COSMIC WATCH:

This Valentine’s Day begins with the Moon deposited in “passionate” Scorpio, which will likely intensify our emotions and desires. However, tonight, the ambience around us is much lighter with the Moon’s entrance into “exuberant, fun-loving” Sagittarius (7:57 pm EST). Too, Luna’s square to fantasy Neptune, in dreamy Pisces (8:41 pm EST), poises us to imagine sweet visions of “happy ever after” with our beloved. “My soul will find yours.” Jude Deveraux

February 14 Birthdays: Jimmy Hoffa, Phyllis McGuire, Mike Bloomberg.

What is most important to you in a love relationship?

Happy Valentine’s Day! May Cupid’s arrow find a direct path to your heart.

COSMIC WATCH:

We are able to get to the bottom of things today (Scorpio Moon) and our thoughts are also more serious and focused (Mercury trine Saturn). This is an excellent day for any strategic or long-term planning and for enlisting the advice of trusted associates who we regard as mentors or experts in their field.

Later, Mercury’s entrance into “mystical” Pisces (8:38 pm EST) provides us with the desire to study more abstract areas. We may also find that with Mercury here, the next three weeks, our logical, analytical thinking is forsaken in favor of intuition and psychic hunches. “Follow your instincts. That’s where true wisdom manifests.” Oprah Winfrey

February 13 Birthdays: Kim Novak, Jerry Springer, George Segal

When do you know to go with your intuition over logic and reasoning?

Astrology October 27, 2011: Moon Continues in Scorpio

COSMIC WATCH:

In wake of yesterday’s potent New Moon, the intensity level remains high, as the Moon continues its passage through “all-or-nothing” Scorpio, where it can prompt more extreme forms of behavior, or the taking of extreme measures. Our keen appetite for unraveling mysteries, solving riddles, digging beneath the surface of things can also bring tangible rewards, along with very dramatic insights. Particularly with the Moon’s monthly conjunction with logical communicator Mercury (10:09 pm EDT), an aspect which allows us to deftly blend our emotional awareness into mesmerizing words or speech.

Our passions and desires are also at a peak level of expression as the Scorpio Moon forms a potent square to assertive Mars in dramatic Leo (10:57 pm EDT), an aspect that also raises the potential for discord or clashes, if we fail to consider other’s sensitivities or needs.

“Courteousness is consideration for others; politeness is the method used to deliver such considerations.” Bryant H. McGill

Famous People with Moon in Scorpio: Steven Spielberg, Patrick Stewart, Elizabeth Hurley, Whoopi Golberg

In the News: European leaders finally agreed to a deal to reduce Greece’s debt, early this morning, after convening yesterday for a marathon session. As part of the agreement, private banks have reportedly agreed to voluntarily lower Greek debt held by 50%.

Fascinatingly, Scorpio is the zodiacal sign that governs debt and credit. Yesterday’s New Moon in Scorpio also favorably sextiled transforming Pluto, the modern day ruler of Scorpio, suggesting that some sort of deal might be struck.

Too, we have transiting, fortuitous Jupiter, in money-ruling Taurus, harmoniously trine to Pluto (exact on Friday), a very powerful aspect of transmutation that has a legacy for dramatically changing the landscape around us, especially as it pertains to shared resources (Pluto and Scorpio). As I mentioned yesterday, too, in my blog, Jupiter-Pluto aspects are often linked with mega-money transactions in the collective. (News story from wsj.com) CNBC is also reporting (mid-morning) that the Dow is on track today for its biggest one month percentage gain in the month of October.

Additionally, President Obama announced yesterday that he will authorize changes in federal policy to make college loans more affordable and easier to repay for up to 1.6 million borrowers. (From Washingtonpost.com)

Are you making, or experiencing, any sweeping changes in your life now?

Enjoy your Thursday!

Astrology September 2, 2011: Scorpio Moon, Sun Trines Jupiter

02 Friday Sep 2011

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon remains in perceptive Scorpio helping us maneuver the day with more depth and clarity. Also, the Moon’s agreeable 60-degree hookup with loving Venus in discreet Virgo (3:09 pm EDT) helps to boost our personal power of attraction, while providing us with a delicate gateway to reveal our deeper emotions and feelings. A good time to breathe new life into old relationships. Or, for trying out new approaches or strategies with others.

Too, the hard-working Virgo Sun’s fortuitous trine with propitious Jupiter in stabilizing Taurus (12:00 am EDT Saturday) stands ready to reward us with a generous harvest now. This is traditionally considered one of the “luckier” aspects in astrology. This enthusiastic influence also helps to brighten our perspectives and endows us with big ideas that can lead to exciting possibilities down the road.

“There is no upper limit to what individuals are capable of doing with their minds. There is no age limit that bars them from beginning. There is no obstacle that cannot be overcome if they persist and believe.” H.G. Wells

In the News: It is being reported today that the U.S. is poised to file lawsuits against more than a dozen big banks accusing them of misrepresenting the calibur of mortgages they packaged and sold during the housing crisis (HuffPost Business). Fascinating headline from an astrological perspective since today’s Moon in Scorpio presides over credit, debt-collection and mortgages. Also, we have, of course, Uranus still square to Pluto, Scorpio’s ruler, as a background influence, which can incite bold or daring moves to get what is “owed to us.”

Too, Jupiter rules both legal action and the banking industry and we have the exacting and correcting Virgo Sun forming that trine aspect to Jupiter in money-ruling Taurus today. Reportedly the U.S. government is trying to lasso in billions of dollars from the lawsuits. Jupiter has a legacy for being linked with “big bucks” dealings.

Enjoy your Friday!

Astrology August 7, 2011: Romantic Venus Sextiles Saturn

07 Sunday Aug 2011

COSMIC WATCH:

The “probing” Scorpio Moon meets up with “psychedelic”  Neptune this morning (11:14 am EDT), right before leaving Scorpio for Sagittarius. So there’s a chance that we may have to navigate through some fog and confusion, the first part of the day, as Neptune tends to put a “tie-dyed veil” over things.

With the Moon’s shift into impetuous Sadge (11:21 am EDT) we are imbued with a more adventurous streak over the next couple of days. The Moon’s square to retrograde Mercury in Virgo (11:54 am EDT), however, cautions us to refrain from being overly critical or arrogant in discussions.  Probably a wise time to remember that other people are also entitled to their own opinions, even though they may go against what we regard as “the truth.” The Sagittarius Moon is known for making us a little preachy. Too, it is a Sunday. A time when the sermon on the mount may be harder for us to resist. 🙂

We do have a good opportunity to stabilize our relationships today, especially later in the day, when love maven Venus sextiles steady Saturn (10:20 pm EDT), an influence that tends to inspire trust and loyalty with others. This is also a signature aspect of the formation of “May-December” romances, with Saturn denoting older persons.  Also, Venus-Saturn can bring back “old flames” into our lives.

“Come live in my heart and pay no rent.” Samuel Lover

Famous Birthdays August 7th: Comedic genius and fab storyteller, Garrison Keillor, turns 69 today! Fascinatingly, Keillor has communicator Mercury, in entertaining Leo, exactly conjunct his Leo Ascendant, giving him a great “gift for gab.” The Ascendant is the window through which we view the world and with Mercury right there for Keillor, in colorful Leo, he has a natural talent for both dramatization and intellectual analysis.

His Moon is also in witty Gemini, sextile to his Mercury, reinforcing his ability to articulate his feelings in a theatrical (Leo) way. His Venus and Jupiter are additionally conjunct in Cancer, the sign of home and family, making him very sentimental about his “Lake Wobegon” roots. Venus conjunct Jupiter is also a classic aspect of “luck” and Keillor has managed to use his “home base of operations” (Prairie Home Companion) to his advantage in his career.

“Lake Wobegon, the little town that time forgot and the decades cannot improve.” Garrison Keillor

Happy Birthday, Garrison!

Enjoy your Sunday, everyone!

COSMIC WATCH:

“Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” Oprah Winfrey

The Moon shifts into “passionate” Scorpio (7:57 am EDT) deepening our desires and intensifying our reactions to our environment.  Very little gets by us when the Moon is deposited in Scorpio which tends to put our sensory perceptions on high alert. Scorpio is the sign of espionage and intrigue. It also rules shared resources, psychic ability, and the subconscious.

The Scorpio Moon’s sextile to logical Mercury in analytical Virgo (9:33 am EDT) should also be a boon for our problem-solving skills, while its sextile to assertive Mars in protective Cancer (10:27 am EDT) poises us to take swift action on matters.  We can get a lot accomplished this morning, if we stay focused. Later on the in the day, too, the Moon aligns positively with transforming Pluto (4:55 am EDT), the ruler of Scorpio, which is an excellent time to repair or fix things, or take corrective measures regarding situations.

Hopefully, another solidifying factor for us today will be the Leo Sun’s opportunity sextile to stabilizing Saturn, in relationship Libra, with Saturn denoting anchoring structures in our lives. When we have flowing energy between the Sun and Saturn we tend to attract to us elements that can fortify our circumstances. We are also more determined to see things through which bodes well for our success. Saturn is linked with self-discipline and our work ethic. Karmically, this planetary aspect can indicate being rewarded for our past efforts. Saturn and the Sun both represent authority figures, with Saturn specifically denoting more senior persons.

One more thing.  We may be wise to practice some moderation today, especially in our diet or spending, as we have Venus in Leo square to Jupiter in Taurus, a classic template for overindulgence, if we’re not careful.

“The proximity of a desirable thing tempts one to overindulgence. On that path lies danger.” Frank Herbert

Astrology July 10, 2011: Moon in “Transitioning” Scorpio

10 Sunday Jul 2011

COSMIC WATCH:

“Disenchantment, whether it is a minor disappointment or a major shock, is the signal that things are moving into transition in our lives.” William Throsby Bridges

This is the last full day of the Moon in “transitioning” Scorpio, with Scorpio the sign of the zodiac formally governing both death and rebirth. Scorpio also rules such things as debt and taxes, and resources that we share with others (joint financial matters, sex).

Today may deliver even more poignant transitions than normal because we still have expander Jupiter, in money-ruling Taurus, involved in a tight, less than one degree trine with Pluto, Scorpio’s ruler, in influential Capricorn, the sign of government, business and career.

Abundant Jupiter, the planet of growth and opportunity, expands whatever it touches and aligned with transforming, rejuvenating Pluto (and the Scorpio Moon), we potentially have a colossal chance (Jupiter) to dramatically reconfigure or reshape things in our lives now, including positively altering our perceptions. This is actually, in a way, very “magical energy” that we have at our disposal now. Magical in the sense that it is replete with great alchemical potential.

It is also a good day to perhaps read about or study matters that we don’t understand, or that are a mystery to us. Scorpio is intrinsically “investigative energy” and always gives us the cool chance to put on our fetching detective caps. The penetrating Scorpio Moon also provides us with a firm backdrop for poking holes through some of our rigid defenses that may be holding us hostage psychologically. Pluto-ruled Scorpio presides over our subconscious, the gateway to our buried past. It also rules the study of psychology.

The protective, nurturing Cancer Sun is additionally forming a fortuitous quintile (72-degree aspect) to optimistic Jupiter today, throwing in an upbeat, creative vibe to the energy of the day. Jupiter governs our vision for ourselves, and endows us with a good measure of faith and hope in the future. The quintile aspect also denotes “special gifts” or “abilities.”

In the News:

With “wild card” Uranus stationing retrograde in “sports-ruling” Aries yesterday, Derek Jeter, a Cancer Sun, became the first Yankees player ever to join the magical “3000 hits” club, a feat only 28 other players in baseball history have been able to accomplish. I mentioned in yesterday’s blog that when a planet changes direction, it tends to call more attention to itself. Uranus is the planet of change and unpredictability. It also governs “genius,” or “flashes of brilliance.”

Fascinatingly, Uranus, which is presently at 4 degrees of Aries, also stationed retrograde in Jeter’s personal horoscope as part of an exact “cardinal t-cross,” in his chart, involving Jeter’s 4 degree Cancer Sun (his sense of power) and 4 degree Pluto in Libra (his ability to transform his life).

Too, often with “action-packed” cardinal energy, is when we see things really “pop,” especially when the “t-cross” or “grand cross configurations” are  also involved.  Jeter also has lucky, transiting Jupiter exactly sextile to his success-driven Saturn in Cancer now, perhaps supplying a good measure of “extra icing” on his cosmic cake. Jupiter harmonious to Saturn is characteristically a time when we are able to manifest our goals and dreams, with form-builder Saturn overseeing our personal and worldly ambitions. Way to go, Derek!

“It’s a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, very often you get it.” William Somerset Maugham

Astrology July 9, 2011: Venus Sextiles Jupiter, Uranus Goes Retrograde

COSMIC WATCH:

“The greatest pleasure of life is love.” Euripedes

After having a rather rough go, the last few days, affectionate Venus in nurturing Cancer finally catches a lucky break today with her warm sextile to abundant Jupiter in earthly pleasures Taurus. Venus-Jupiter is often synonymous with “luck in love.” So, hopefully, this royal duo will be able to wave their magical wand for us and graciously shower us with a bonanza of romance. Or grant whatever is our heart’s fondest desire.

This aspect is also grand for entertaining and parties, with Venus also ruling our social life and Jupiter liking to do things on a lavish scale. Jupiter actually rules and symbolizes matters of royalty, and we have William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, reportedly partying with the glamorous “Hollywood Jet Set,” this weekend, in LA. This is Kate Middleton’s first visit to the States. Wouldn’t you just love to be a “fly on the wall” at one of the planned celebrations?

The Moon is also in passionate Scorpio today, magnifying our desires and ramping up our ability to seize upon and claim the rich, intrinsic pleasures of the moment.

Of course, life is never simple and uncomplicated. We also have “wild child” Uranus, the planet of personal freedom and rebellion, stationing retrograde today in self-willed Aries. Whenever a planet changes direction, it tends to call more attention to itself (Uranus stays retrograde until December 9th). Although, we also have intellectual Mercury in theatrical Leo forming a stabilizing sextile to disciplined, conforming Saturn in diplomatic Libra today. This suggests to me that we do have the mental ability to “check” or “censor” our performances (Leo), if need be. Mercury sextile Saturn is excellent for both focused concentration and serious discussions.

Too, it may be an especially good day for talking about “affairs of the heart” (perhaps popping the big question?) with Mercury in romantic Leo and Saturn in matrimonial Libra. Too, lest we forget, we also have the indulgent, and very endearing, Venus-Jupiter sextile.

In the News: Sadly, I learned, this morning, that former first lady, Betty Ford, passed away, late yesterday, at the age of 93. I grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan and for many, many years, Betty’s husband Gerald, our late president, served as our district’s congressman. My late mother also worked at Herpolsheimer’s department store with Betty Ford in Grand Rapids, in the 1940s, where Betty was employed as a model.

Tragically, this week in Grand Rapids, there was also a mass shooting that made world headlines. Seven people were killed. The shootings occurred at locations near where I have relatives living. My brother was also at a memorial last night for the shooting victims when all of a sudden, the event also turned into a memorial for Betty Ford, when it was learned that she had passed.

We had Venus opposite Pluto yesterday, an aspect that, historically, has coincided with the passing away (Pluto rules death) of prominent females (Venus rules women) in the collective. Pluto is also in Capricorn, the sign of government officials. Venus in caring Cancer also denotes Betty’s humanistic legacy with respect to establishing the Betty Ford Center in California for treatment of drug and alcohol addiction. Betty helped to take away the shame of addiction by boldly coming forward and publicly announcing that she had substance abuse problems at a time when it was unheard of for public officials to do so. Betty Ford was a pioneering Aries Sun, with her Moon in compassionate Pisces.

“My makeup wasn’t smeared, I wasn’t disheveled, I behaved politely, and I never finished off a bottle, so how could I be alcoholic?” Betty Ford.

Astrology June 13, 2011: “Sunken Treasure” Moon in Scorpio

COSMIC WATCH:

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” Albert Einstein

With the Moon encapsuled in “probing” Scorpio, we go swimming in deeper waters today, carrying with us the firm conviction that sunken treasures inevitably await us, if only we are earnest enough to ferret them out. The Scorpio Moon passionately revels in sharing her most intimate secrets with us as a seductive pathway to our rejuvenation. When the Moon is in Scorpio, we are systemically freed by embracing the truth, wherever we may find it. It is also a good day to challenge ourselves to live by our own truth, which is not always something that is easy to do, but it is something that can be very rewarding and ultimately pave the way to our greatest fulfillment.

“All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered, the point is to discover them.” Galileo Galilei

Later tonight, the Moon shifts into “faraway eyes” Sagittarius (10:39 pm EDT), setting the stage for Wednesday’s spectacular “Total Lunar Eclipse.”

Enjoy your Monday!
