“Revolutions arise from obstinacy. People are dissatisfied with what they are told and they develop new ideas.” Dirk Kurbjuweit

A big mental shift is occurring today! Intellectual Mercury rockets into progressive, innovative Aquarius, the sign of abstract-reasoning. Mercury joins the Sun, already in Aquarius, and it will stay in the sign of the water-bearer until February 10th. Mercury in Aquarius can help us to get unstuck in our thinking and perceptions as, optimally, we’re more open now to entertaining new ideas, considering alternative viewpoints, and to embracing experimentation in general. This is also an excellent time for networking or connecting with groups of people, and for forming new friendships, particularly with individuals we may not normally hang out with. “Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.” Anais Nin

Analytical Mercury is also forming a semi-square aspect to big picture Jupiter today so it may be more challenging to focus our attention on the daily grind. Fortunately, though, the Moon’s placement in laboring Virgo can help add a more stable vibe to our day. So that’s good! Later tonight, the Moon will also be departing dutiful Virgo (11:02 pm) and entering diplomatic Libra, where the finer things of life will, once again, surely be beckoning us with all their power!

Hope enjoy your day! Don’t be afraid to employ the experimental Mercury in Aquarius in your own unique way. Perhaps try on some new ideas. See how they fit. Remember, one size does not necessarily fit all!

Today’s Astrology January 23, 2019: Mercury Squares Uranus

“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” Aristotle

Mercury the messenger in methodical, practical Capricorn the Goat is getting ready to wind up its stay in Capricorn, where it has been since January 5th. But, before it does that, very early tomorrow, it’s going to square Uranus in Aries today (6:13 am). Mercury and Uranus both have an affinity for one another as Uranus is considered to be the higher octave of Mercury. Uranus, as a transpersonal planet, however, is more focused on our abstract or objective perceptions, while Mercury, as one of the personal planets, tends to be more concerned with such things as speaking, communication, and general awareness itself. Uranus also governs technology.

On those days of the year when Mercury and Uranus align, our thinking is potentially more brilliant, more insightful, more original. We may be able to grasp more complex concepts that might have eluded us before. Our perceptions may be lightning-fast, peppered with sudden intuitions. The shadow side of the Mercury-Uranus square is sometimes we may feel more scattered or restless in our thinking and judgment, which can cause us to miss important details. Our nervous systems, which are ruled by Mercury, could potentially also become more highly charged now due to the more electrifying, jolting vibration of Uranus.

Today is also a test drive, of sorts, for Mercury as it will be entering Uranus-ruled Aquarius tomorrow (12:50 am), which is the sign of Mercury’s exaltation. Mercury’s favorite place to hang out!

The Moon is also in fastidious Virgo now so don’t be surprised if you feel a strong, passionate urge to tidy things up! The Moon will also trine Saturn in Capricorn tonight (8:56 pm), a very stabilizing influence that is excellent for organizing our affairs.

*All times EST.

Famous People with Mercury Square Uranus: Tim Cook, Carrie Underwood, David Letterman, Drew Carey.

Famous January 23 Birthdays: John Hancock, Edouart Manet, Chesley Sullenberger.

“All of us have to find the courage to leave the shore. That means leaving the crutch of our lifelong complaints and resentments, or our unhappiness over our upbringing or our bodies or whatever. It means no longer focusing negative energy on things beyond our control. It means looking beyond the safety of the familiar.” Chesley Sullenberger

This Date in History: On January 23, 1973, US President Richard Nixon announced an accord had been reached to end the Vietnam War. Regarding the astrology that day, expansive, philosophical Jupiter, which symbolizes higher understanding and a bigger picture point of view, was in realistic, pragmatic Capricorn, the sign of government. It was also exactly square Uranus, the planet of sudden breakthroughs and new approaches, at 23 degrees of diplomatic Libra. Negotiator Mercury had also just entered innovative Aquarius, that day.

UPDATED 1/23/19 4:30 pm: With Communicator Mercury exactly square spontaneous Uranus in Aries today, Nancy Pelosi has reportedly gone ahead and canceled the #SOTU address! A first in US history! In #astrology Mercury rules speeches, while Uranus signifies the unexpected and breaks with tradition. Mercury also represents the news media, which are all abuzz now with this unfolding story! 🙂

Hope you enjoy your day! Bask in your brilliance!

Astrology for January 28, 2016: Moon Leaves Virgo for Libra

28 Thursday Jan 2016

astrology january 28 2016, horoscope january 28 2016, love, Moon in Libra, Moon in Virgo, relationships

“No one has a problem with the first mile of a journey. Even an infant could do fine for a while. But it isn’t the start that matters. It’s the finish line.” Julien Smith

Road, Sky, Mountains, Clouds, Black

COSMIC WEATHER:

We are officially wrapping up the “first Virgo Moon period” of the new year, this morning. The Moon leaves “problem-solving” Virgo for “diplomatic” Libra, at 9:59 am. The Virgo Moon is also “void-of-course” today, so it is perhaps best to attend to, or finish up, any ongoing tasks while the Moon is still deposited in this sign. Then, when it cascades into “graceful” Libra, we are cosmically cleared to undertake new endeavors. Libra, the sign of the other, centers our attention on the relationship realm, and balancing the needs of self with the needs of others.

The Libra Moon’s only aspect today is a square, late tonight, to Venus, its planetary ruler (11:12 pm), which is presently in “traditional” Capricorn. Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, is exalted in Libra, so really there is quite a bit of agreement or natural flow between Venus in Capricorn and the Moon in Libra, even though the square aspect can sometimes coincide with some friction, inner restlessness, or feelings of awkwardness. Generally, Moon-Venus aspects tend to bring out our social side, so if we’re still up, at this hour, we may want to be around people we like, doing things we enjoy. It may also be a time when we seriously ponder, journal, or discuss the nature of our relationships and how they are fitting in with our long-term plans or goals for our self.

“We have to recognise that there cannot be relationships unless there is commitment, unless there is loyalty, unless there is love, patience, persistence.” Cornel West

*All times are EST.

This Date in History: On January 28, 1754 Horace Walpole reportedly coined the word “serendipity.” Also, thirty years ago today the American Shuttle Orbiter “Challenger” blew up 73 seconds after liftoff with seven astronauts on board (history.com).

Famous Birthdays January 28: Alan Alda, Henry VII, Carlos Slim

Astrology for January 27, 2016: Seeking Self-Betterment

astrology january 27 2016, horoscope january 27 2016, Mercury conjunct Pluto, Moon in Virgo, self-improvement

“Have you realized that today is the tomorrow you talked about yesterday? It is your responsibility to change your life for the better.” Jaachynma N.E. Agu

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Moon continues another day in “corrective” Virgo, ideally encouraging us to embrace a path of self-betterment. Also, it is spotlighting – via two early morning trine aspects – the ongoing “Mercury-Pluto conjunction,” a dialogue that is taking place in “serious,” Saturn-ruled Capricorn. This is, no doubt, giving way to a lot of DEEP, DEEP STUFF going on inside many of us. Mercury-Pluto, characteristically, helps us to get at the truth, on many levels.

Also, the Virgo Moon’s last aspect of the day, before turning void-of-course, is a supportive conjunction to expansive Jupiter, “the planet of abundance” (7:11 pm EST). Jupiter is also presently conjunct the “futuristic” North Node of the Moon. Possibly suggesting that this is a grand chance for us to experience a special “rendezvous with destiny!”

“You often meet your fate on the road you take to avoid it.” Goldie Hawn

Question for the Day: What are the best ways you know to improve yourself?

“Order and simplification are the first steps towards mastery of a subject.” Thomas Mann

Blossom, Bloom, Pink, Macro, Garden

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Moon in “organizing” Virgo, today, helps us to get our affairs in order. It is also a very good time to be proactive about things, or to anticipate what may lie ahead. Virgo’s ruler, Mercury, is also conjunct “eliminating” Pluto, which is a green light for our ability to effectively phase out or discern what is no longer needed.

“Thank God I found the GOOD in goodbye.” Beyonce Knowles

Question for Today: What do you think makes you hold on to something that you know you should really get rid of?

Astrology / Cosmic Quote of the Day for June 23, 2015

Curved Path

(Today’s planetary aspects: Rational Mercury squares evasive Neptune; impatient Mars quinqunxes restraining Saturn; the Moon is in corrective Virgo; and yesterday’s reform-oriented Jupiter-Uranus trine, is still in effect. )

Cosmic Quote of the Day: “There is stability in walking an uncertain path, because you never allow yourself to be misled by what you think you know.” A. J. Darkholme

When we do presume to know the “lay of the land,” we do tend to naturally let our guard down. Or, are possibly more apt to relax our critical judgment as we figure we will probably not be encountering too many surprises or other stuff we cannot handle. However, sometimes it is that very “I got this” attitude that can end up leading us down a more precarious path.

With today’s energy, especially the trickier Mercury-Neptune connection, which can sometimes serve to distort, delete, or cloak the facts, it may be very advantageous for us to not take anything for granted now, and to be extra vigilant regarding some of the situations which we find ourselves. That vigilance may be arrived at by doing such practical things as double-checking stuff, asking for clarity when in doubt, making sure others understand what we’re trying to communicate to them, refraining from automatically accepting things at face value. Fortunately, the Moon deposited in logical Virgo, all day, can serve as a healthy filter to help us wade through the obscuring Neptunian fog. Too, this can be a great day to do any creative work that calls for employing the power of our imagination. Meanwhile, the Mars-Saturn quinqunx influence may also require us to justify our actions, especially to those who are in charge. One of my favorite astrologers, Lilly Roddy, said in her daily blog today, that we may want to just use this day as a “mental health day,” and chill out with movies and snacks, while planning for tomorrow. Also sounds like a good strategy!

“You’re never given a dream without also being given the power to make it true.” Richard Bach, The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah.

On a personal note, I’ve been absent from this blog for the last three months, mainly due to my workload. Hopefully, though, I’ll be able to be around here with more regularity in the future.

Hope you enjoy your day!

Astrology July 2, 2014: Getting Our Affairs In Order With The Virgo Moon

astrology for july 2 2014, creating order, horoscope july 2 2014, Moon in Virgo, Moon sextile Pluto, solving mysteries

“We adore chaos because we love to produce order.” M. C. Escher

COSMIC WATCH:

While many of us may have a distinct preference for order over chaos, being able to actually design or decipher that order, in the face of challenging disarray, can often seem like a gargantuan task for some us to accomplish, at least initially, as we begin to sort through the mayhem to see exactly what we have going on under the heap.

Fortunately, today’s Moon in “logical, systematic” Virgo can serve as a jump-start to help us lay claim to the “natural order of things.” The Virgo energy, which symbolically governs the digestive system in the body, naturally has an affinity for breaking things down into manageable, bite-size parts. Too, once elements are dis-assembled or broken down, we are better able to see how all the individual pieces fit together to form the whole of something. We also simultaneously learn where things need to be sequenced or pieced together, in the future, so that we can have more of a flowing or proper order around us.

With intellectual Mercury, the ruler of today’s Virgo Moon, also now direct, as of yesterday, in “curious” Gemini, even though it’s still in its shadow phase for two more weeks, this forward motion of the “Winged Messenger” can further help us with our problem-solving faculties, as our thoughts and ideas take on greater clarity. Additionally, the Virgo Moon’s sextile to “investigative” Pluto, this evening (6:20 pm EDT), bodes well for our ability to solve mysteries, as it primes us to go below the surface of things and take a peak at what is hidden. This may also be a good time to attempt to locate lost or misplaced items. Moon-Pluto aspects can also be advantageous for healing applications or energy re-alignments, especially with the Moon positioned in Virgo, the sign of health and nutrition.

What one action could you take today to help get your assorted affairs in order?

Famous July 2 Birthdays: Richard Petty, Herman Hesse.

“We are sun and moon, dear friend; we are sea and land. It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is: each the other’s opposite and complement.” – Herman Hesse, Narcissus and Goldmund

A Cosmic Quote for June 4, 2014 (Venus Sextiles Neptune)

acceptance, astrology for june 4 2014, creative, Moon in Virgo, platonic relationships, Venus sextile Neptune June 4 2014

“I find the best way to love someone is not to change them, but instead, help them reveal the greatest version of themselves.” Steve Maraboli

(Moon enters evaluating Virgo at 10:20 am EDT; it sextiles articulate Mercury and opposes dissolving Neptune. Relationship Venus sextiles compassionate Neptune.)

We all want to be accepted for who we are; yet, simultaneously, it seems that we’re always trying to remake others as we would like them to be, instead of simply embracing them as they are. Sadly, this dichotomy is probably the reason why so many of us tend to recoil from showing our true selves in the first place: we’re afraid that, if we do, others will reject us – because we’re always automatically rejecting or finding fault with other people!

Perhaps, however, if we stopped trying to change others from the get-go, and instead put the point of focus on helping them to realize their fullest potential, or the “greatest version of themselves,” as Steve Maraboli so eloquently puts forth, we would also find it much easier, in the process, to be the irresistible, suave, debonair creatures that we were originally intended to be. What do they say, what goes around, comes around? And to treat others as you, yourself, would like to be treated. In “The Little Book of Letting Go” by Hugh Prather, he also mentions: “Notice that the moment you become unhappy is usually the moment you attempt to control another person.”

Lovable Venus’s heavenly alignment with dreamy Neptune today can help us to see and bring out the very best in others now. It’s a wildly romantic and compassionate influence and can even spawn platonic relationships! Too, it’s very creative and excellent for anything using our imagination or involving the arts.

What do you wish others would see in you? Is this same trait or quality also something that you look for in other people?

On a personal note, for the last week or so, I’ve been back here blogging after a three-month absence (I’ve had Saturn opposing my natal Mercury and Sun for a while), experimenting with doing this quote of the day. While I have thoroughly enjoyed being back here with you, I have also quickly discovered that this blogging experience is not something that I care to commit to on a daily basis; it’s a little too much for me. Too, communicator Mercury is getting ready to shift retrograde on Saturday. So what I believe would be best for me, at this juncture, is to just show up here on an occasional basis, perhaps weekly or so, when I feel duly inspired to do so. Also, focus my attention more on quality, instead of on quantity.

“Each of us is an artist of our days; the greater our integrity and awareness, the more original and creative our time will become.” John O’Donohue

COSMIC WATCH:

Void of course Moon in Virgo shifts into Libra at 1:23 pm EST, Mercury Semi-square Uranus

The work week commences with the Moon at the end of “methodical” Virgo. Ideal for wrapping up old business. We will also want to continue channeling our “inner efficiency guru.” Additionally, the Mercury-Uranus alignment may poise us to act a little like the wacky scientist in a lab, conducting quirky experiments that no one else quite gets, especially since this is the Sun’s last full day in “tinkering” Aquarius. Meantime, the lunar shift into “balancing, sociable” Libra adds a refreshing, unifying feel to the day. “Treat everyone you meet as though they are the most important person you’ll meet today.” Roger Dawson

What would you like to see invented? A better mousetrap? Stiletto heels that are actually good for the feet? How about socks that are hole-proof? 🙂

astrology for february 16 2014, fear of public speaking, horoscope february 16 2014, mercury trine mars, Moon in Virgo

“Much unhappiness has come into the world because of bewilderment and things left unsaid.” Fyodor Dostoyevsky

COSMIC WATCH:

Retrograde Mercury trine Mars, Moon in Virgo

We’re more confident in rallying behind our ideas today, or wanting to say what’s on our mind. Also, a positive time for buckling down and tackling projects that require attention to detail, including those that involve perfecting a skill or craft. May also want to put editing on that list.

Too, Mercury-Mars is a plus for public speaking, although it appears that the majority of us will probably be choosing to pass on that particular option, if statistics are correct. It’s estimated that approximately 75% of us suffer from ‘glossophobia,’ a technical term given for the severe fear of public speaking. In fact, public speaking is deemed to be the greatest fear a person can have, even surpassing the fear of death! Why is that, I wonder? Could it be because most of us fear humiliation? Or, is it because we lack faith in our ideas? What do you think? Are you with the majority here?
