COSMIC WATCH:

With the Moon still in charming, playful Leo today and making a flowing trine to the exploratory Sun in Sagittarius (11:07 am EST) we are encouraged to pursue fun and adventure, perhaps as a healing form of rejuvenation. Although, an evening opposition to fantasy Neptune (8:20 pm EST) cautions us not to read more into a situation than what really exists. Moon-Neptune can always be a little tricky to navigate.

Later, the Moon’s entrance into discerning, fact-finding Virgo (10:59 pm EST) and a follow-up trine to philosophical Jupiter helps us to achieve a broader, but clear-cut perspective (11:55 pm EST). Additionally, Moon-Jupiter is an aspect of abundance, with Jupiter often regarded as the “Cosmic Santa Claus.” Interestingly, Jupiter will also be stationing direct, this year, exactly on Christmas Day. Wonder if there is any special significance to that? I like to think that there is and that it is all good.

“Life is the first gift, love is the second, and understanding the third.” Marge Piercy

Today’s Affirmation: I embrace new possibilities for myself and am guided by the wisdom of my own inner truth.

Celebrity News: The late Elizabeth Taylor’s legendary collection of precious jewels went to auction on Tuesday evening at Christie’s in New York, just as the Moon was appropriately entering glitzy, glamorous Leo.

The auction marathon began with the Leo Moon square to expansive Jupiter in Taurus, the sign of money and possessions. This aspect often correlates with our overspending, as opulent Jupiter can incline us to want to do things on a lavish or extravagant scale. (Wonder if any of the successful bidders have any buyer’s remorse now?) The Leo Moon was also making a trine to electrifying Uranus. Uranus influences often provide us with singular, one-of-a-kind experiences.

Too, Elizabeth Taylor natally had Venus, which happens to rule jewelry and things of beauty, exactly conjunct Uranus in Aries in her birth chart, perhaps helping her to amass her original, “out of this world” collection in the first place. Of course, multiple marriages to wealthy, generous men did not hurt her cause any either. 🙂 Venus-Uranus can also bring about “out of the norm” romance and whirlwind courtships. (As a child, I was always so enraptured and fully mesmerized by her marriage to Richard Burton, who I also had a major crush on.)

So far, the jewelry sale on Tuesday and Wednesday (Leo Moon both days) has fetched $137.2 million, reportedly making it the most valuable sale of jewelry in auction history. (Unfortunately, due to a temporary shortage of funds, yours truly was, regrettably, unable to partake in any of the bidding, even though my Leo Moon would have loved to have done so.)

Do you have a favorite piece of jewelry that holds a lot of sentimental value for you?

BTW, last week, someone generously dropped a diamond ring valued at $3,500 into a Salvation Army kettle near where I live. Pretty neat, huh? We should all be so inclined. ‘Tis the season.

Astrology August 28, 2011: Moon Opposite Neptune, New Moon in Virgo

COSMIC WATCH:

“Growth demands a temporary surrender of security.” Gail Sheehy

The first half of the day, the waning Moon wraps up her stay in dramatic Leo forming her monthly opposition to fantasy Neptune (1:11 pm EDT), which potentially casts a more surreal tone to matters. With Moon-Neptune the challenge is always to stay grounded or anchored and avoid being swept away by undercurrents of worry or fear.

Of course, as many of us are waking up this morning, Hurricane Irene is still front and center in the news, as she hammers away at the northeastern seaboard of the U.S. Too, Neptune governs the sea and hurricanes. On the shadow side, Neptune’s ray can be very undermining and eroding, as we see this playing out now with Irene. Neptune symbolizes our link with the Divine and part of its mission seems to be to remind us of the shifting, temporal nature of things. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those persons being impacted by this storm. I live in central North Carolina and felt Irene’s winds all day yesterday and they were pretty scary and intimidating, even on the periphery.

We do have the Moon shifting into efficient Virgo this afternoon (2:13 pm EDT) and also a New Moon tonight at 5 degrees of the sign (11:04 pm EDT). New Moons signify new beginnings and this New Moon brings with it a magical Grand Earth Trine involving propitious Jupiter in Taurus and regenerating Pluto in Capricorn. This Grand Trine will hopefully be very empowering for us, if we can tap into its energy. Sweet Venus is also conjunct this lunation adding a social dimension to it.

Virgo presides over the areas of health and diet, and also work and service to others. It also governs the more routine aspects of daily living such as cleaning, organizing, etc. Today’s New Moon in Virgo suggests that we have a wonderful chance to get our personal affairs in order over the course of the next month. It’s a great time, for instance, to tidy up or de-clutter the home front, get our checking account balanced, tackle that mountain of paper on the desk. Or to maybe focus on self-care matters, such as revamping our diet and or recommitting to a health and exercise program. Also, it’s an excellent time to apply for a new job, perfect our skills or hone a craft. With transforming Pluto at play, we may also find it a favorable period to revive old projects.

Happy New Moon Blessings! Enjoy your Sunday!

Astrology March 17, 2011: “Mystical Revelations” Moon Opposite Neptune

COSMIC WEATHER:

“There’s a collective knowing that a dimension of reality exists beyond the material plane, and that sense of knowing is causing a mystical resurgence on the planet today.” Marianne Williamson

This St. Patty’s Day the Moon is winding up its passage in “big hair” Leo, heading for the sweet, “vacuumed-paradise” of Virgo (4:53 pm EDT). Before it vacates theatrical Leo, however, it is meeting up with “transcendent” Neptune (3:59 pm EDT), which is at the very end of hi-tech Aquarius, propelling us into a more “visionary” or “mystical” state of mind. A good day to simply “go with the flow” and pay closer attention to our intuitive awareness versus relying purely on reason and logic.

Too, even though we do have the Moon switching to analytical Virgo later on, we also have Mercury, the ruler of Virgo, involved in a 45-degree aspect to psychedelic Neptune (9:32 pm EDT). So, there’s no escaping the clutches of our fanciful imagination today, which Neptune rules.

Do we maybe have any creative projects (poetry, writing, film, music, art, etc.) that we can work on today that will allow us to tap into Neptune’s inspired ray? We also may want to make time for meditation or prayer (Neptune). Neptune is also associated with “divine love” and “compassion.” A good day for “giving back” to others. Too, we may want to watch our intake of “green beer,” this St. Patty’s Day, as Neptune does rule alcohol consumption and escapism. If we are not careful, we could be tempted to “drown our sorrows.”
