“I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma.”Eartha Kitt
It’s likely that we will also want to feed our heads and expand our perceptions and experiences today as intellectual Mercury conjuncts the brilliant Sun in inquiring, curious Gemini. Mercury is also sextile Uranus which helps to foster more original insights. Mercury-Uranus is a very inventive influence. It’s very good for brainstorming and tending to old problems in new ways. Our intuitive capacities may also be sharpened with this aspect. We may additionally hear things today that have the impact of helping to radically shift our perspective. This is an excellent day to learn new technology. Or to read about or discuss science and innovation.
The uninhibited Leo Moon’s sextile to sweet Venus (9:57 EDT) also adds a delightful and pleasurable quality to the morning. Very good for socializing, bonding, and artistic expression.
The Moon’s sextile to wise Saturn (2:07 pm EDT) is excellent for conferring with those persons who may serve as a mentor or teacher for us. “I was lucky that I met the right mentors and teachers at the moment.”James Levine

The confident Aries Moon encourages us to spearhead things on our own, although it’s sextile to social Venus (5:40 pm EDT) and opposition to instructive Saturn (5:44 pm EDT) suggests that we may also have much to learn from relationships now. Venus in retrograde motion trine Saturn may also find us reflecting on earlier times and what might have been. “We loved with a love that was more than love.” Edgar Allen Poe

“I deepen my experience of God through prayer, meditation, and forgiveness.”Marianne Williamson
The waning Moon remains in yielding, meditative Pisces encouraging us to “go with the flow” instead of offering up any formidable resistance – although, we may need to consciously guide ourselves in order to stay on track with things.
Early afternoon, the Moon’s trine to sweet Venus in caring Cancer (2:43 pm EDT) ideally helps to strengthen our bonds with loved ones. Venus is also sesquiquadrate to wounded healer Chiron suggesting that this may be a good time to placate old wounds.
The Moon’s square to restless Mars, in communicator Gemini (4:45 pm EDT), also gifts us with an opportunity to learn how to “hold our tongue,” lest we get sent to the back of the classroom.

Events in the News: With Luna steeped in her “waning phase” and cloaked in “dissolving” Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, we are also collectively seeing the “passing away” of some familiar structures now:
Some “endings” perhaps worth noting now:
1) The Space Shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to undock from the International Space Station today for the last time in the history of the space shuttle program.
2) “Borders,” the 2nd largest U.S. bookstore chain, announced yesterday that it’s liquidating all of its remaining bookstores and idling some 11,000 workers.
3) U.S. General Petraeus gave up command of the Afghan war Monday to head the CIA. Of course, the U.S. government is also taking measures to reportedly draw down the number of troops in Afghanistan.
4) News Corp head, Rupert Murdoch, whose media empire has been seemingly imploding, as of late, is slated to testify before lawmakers in the U.K. today about the alleged “phone hacking” scandal. Interestingly, this scandal investigation really began heating up shortly after warrior Mars launched into communication Gemini in late June (Gemini rules both telephones and the news media).

“I sometimes wonder whether all pleasures are not substitutes for joy.”C. S. Lewis
Interesting astrological fact: Mick Jagger and Bill Clinton are both proud Leo Suns, with their Moons in earthy, sensual Taurus. See any similarity between the two of them in terms of their personality and behavior? Remember Bill’s saxophone performance on the Arsenio Hall Show several years ago? Any shades of Mick there? 🙂
Well, the “night owl” Moon is back in Venus-ruled Taurus today, so this is a time when we may want to indulge our senses and pamper ourselves. The Taurus Moon is fond of “hedonistic” pleasures. At the same time, it is also practical and resourceful. (Taurus rules money and possessions.)
The Moon also trines “problem-solving” Pluto (10:48 am EDT), so it appears that there is very little that we cannot do today, if we but only put our minds to it and also stay cooperative (sometimes with Pluto, we try to “run the show”). Too, we still have Mick’s “start-me-up” Aries energy beaming down upon us (Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus in Aries).
Later on, the “sweet” Taurus Moon forms a sexy sextile to relationship Venus (7:03 pm EDT). Definitely a time when we will want to be making a “love connection.” Power of attraction Venus helps us attract the “reality we desire.”
Famous Birthdays April 5:Colin Powell (74), late Betty Davis (103). BTW, Betty had her pioneering Aries Sun exactly square to her natal Uranus in professional Capricorn, helping to make her a “one of a kind” original.
In the News: With the Moon in “money-minded” Taurus trining “purging” Pluto, U.S. House Republicans today proposed a budget for the next fiscal year that would reportedly spend $3.53 trillion, $179 billion dollars less then the plan put forth by President Obama. It would also supposedly balance the budget by 2015. (WSJ.com) “Bulldozing” Pluto in action? Too, Pluto tends towards “extremism.”

“Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can’t be done.” Bo Bennett
The bewitching Moon spends her day in optimistic Sagittarius, where she is more inclined to conclude that, “Yes, indeed, the glass is half full!” The early morning hours are best for mental work with the Moon’s trine to logical thinker Mercury ( 8:24 am EDT). The Moon’s tense square to impulsive Mars (11:09 am EDT) also cautions us to “think” before we act.
Later on, our romantic prospects brighten with the Moon’s warm sextile to connection queen Venus (7:03 pm EDT). Our blissful mood continues with the Moon’s magical sextile to dreamy, meditative guru Neptune (9:26 pm EDT), a time to seek out more mystical or creative outlets. Neptune represents our “link to the divine.”
Shortly afterward, the Moon then switches to realistic Capricorn (9:58 pm EDT), forming a potent square to rebellious child Uranus, who could put a disruptive kink into our levitation practices, if we’re not careful. A time when we could also temporarily conclude that the glass is “half empty.” Of course, this need not be the case if we keep our eyes focused on the “bigger picture” and our grander intentions for ourselves.

“Miracles happen every day. Not just in remote country villages or at holy sites halfway across the globe, but here, in our own lives.”Deepak Chopra
Cosmic Weather:
Anyone feeling a tinge of sadness today because another sizzlin’ hot eclipse day has come and gone? Sort of like the party’s over upstairs. Everyone has packed up and left, and now it’s back to business as usual for the Sun, Moon, and the rest of the gang. But what the heck is going on with all of these dead blackbirds falling mysteriously from the sky in Arkansas? And now yesterday, in Louisiana, thousands of more dead blackbirds. Really weird. Also, thousands of dead fish in the Arkansas River. Some people believe it’s UFO-related. Who knows, it could be? Or, maybe it’s the Capricorn eclipse? Historically, some scary things have happened around eclipses. Too, the Republicans are poised to take over the U.S. House today when the new Congress convenes. Some see that as a cataclysmic event. Many of the new House memebers have never held an elected office before. Of course, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Regardless of all these myriad elements, we do have some very cool lunar aspects today. Early on in the day, the ambitious Capricorn Moon throws harmonious aspects to inventive Uranus (5:30 am EST), visionary Jupiter (5:43 am EST) and love child Venus (7:16 am EST). It might be worth our while to put those aspects to use doing some creative project work, if we’re even awake then. Our intuition (Uranus) should be particularly strong. Of course, with sexy Venus still in naughty Scorpio, we may want to employ some of this clever ESP, under the sheets, in locating desired objects!
The Moon also enters “group-minded” Aquarius today (at 11:08 am EST), a time when we should forget about being an island, for a while, and go mingle instead. Aquarius denotes friends and acquaintances, groups, clubs, networking, and social causes. Also the internet. We additionally still have the tight conjunction going on between fortuitous Jupiter and genius Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) in fantasy Pisces. An aspect linked with miracles and sudden opportunities arising out of the blue. We also have a very magical creative quintile (72 degree aspect) from the Capricorn Sun to both Jupiter and Uranus. This is a dynamite day to showcase our originality and uniqueness. Especially perhaps with respect to how we part our hair, as Pisces is a sign associated with theater and masquerade, the outer costuming that we wear. The illusion that we want to create and project. It could be that we come up with entirely new ways to part our hair today, that are very riveting and sexy, and forever change the layout of our life. Venus (beauty) in transforming Scorpio is still aligned (trine) with inventive Uranus, which can bode well for new hairstyles, fashioning captivating new looks.
A few questions to maybe ask ourselves today:
How do we feel about the clubs or organizations that have granted us membership in the past?
What does it say about a club that will take us as a member? Are they that hard up?
How do we feel when we are parting our hair? Happy? Sad? Lukewarm? Panic-stricken?
Do we have any blockages or hang-ups about parting our hair a certain way? If so, why do we think this is the case? How is our natal Venus aspected in our horoscope? Is it aligned with repressed Saturn? Could it also be, perhaps, a matter of old childhood issues coming to the forefront? Maybe we need psychotherapy for resolving these delicate hair issues?
Also, how do we handle windy days and the sensitive matter of our hair? Is it best, perhaps, not to go out outdoors on those days? Maybe we should just stay inside with a scarf wrapped tightly around our head, in case someone opens the door on us, and puts our hair dramatically at risk of getting tossed around? 🙂
“The hair is the richest ornament of women.” Martin Luther
Saw this on YouTube today. Since I used to work in radio, this deeply impacted me. Hope someone will give this man a job! We need to help each other with the brotherly Aquarian Moon:
UPDATE: Ted Williams, the homeless man depicted in the video, was reportedly offered a job by the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wed. afternoon. See, real-life miracles do happen!
