“Reality is merely an illusion, although a very persistent one.” Albert Einstein

Reduced visibility in my Crystal Ball today due to a foggy Mars-Neptune aspect that is, slowly but surely, closing in around us. This weird, intoxicating influence will technically be exact tomorrow, but already we are feeling its spacey affects.  The Moon in Aquarius also conjoins Neptune mid-morning (10:56 am EDT) and then enters Neptune-ruled Pisces early afternoon (at 1:34 pm EDT).

Mars fuels our passions, while Neptune drives our addictions and rules the urge to escape.  You get these two together and we have a lot of energy to run away to la la land. We also have to be careful with drugs and alcohol.

It’s tangibly harder for us to see things clearly now with Neptune’s veil of illusion engulfing us. We are also much less focused. It’s probably best for us to just chill out and try putting off working on important stuff, if we can.

This Mars-Neptune energy is super, however, for any creative projects that we might need to do, especially involving music or art, as Neptune rules imagination and Mars can get it all fired up.

Mars also rules sex, and with Neptune ruling fantasy and the Moon entering romantic Pisces, it might be a perfect day to call in sick.

In the News:

The oil from the BP oil leak is nearing the Florida beaches, as Mars aggressively opposes insidious Neptune, which rules both the sea and oil. Mars symbolically officiates over assaults and here we have a sea-related assault on the beaches beginning to play out, in addition to all the other mayhem and tragedy that has already occurred with regard to this matter.

We also had that unfortunate incident yesterday in which the saw (ruled by Mars) apparently got stuck in the pipe in the latest BP efforts to cap the oil. Mars rules accidents and mishaps such as that.

CNN is also showing Neptunian photos today (Neptune rules images and photography) of the “Aquarian robots” working a mile underwater in the Gulf trying to stop the leak, and we have Neptune, the sea, in technological Aquarius.

Chiron, the Wounded Warrior in Pisces, turns Retrograde on Friday and Mars is also applying to an opposition to Chiron that will be exact on June 8th and 9th. I wonder if the retrograde Chiron motion will have an impact on the current situation in the Gulf?  The day the BP oil leak occurred is the very day that Chiron entered Pisces. I had blogged here, the day before Chiron entered that sign, that I thought Chiron’s ingress into Pisces may have impact on sea and water issues, but I had no idea that it would happen so quickly.  Sometimes things do occur the very day a body switches signs.  Of course, Chiron’s entering Pisces did not “cause” the spill, but as astrologers we learn to “connect the dots.”

Chiron in Pisces may also end up being a big wake-up call for us, in terms of finally forcing us to move beyond our dependency on oil and pursue alternate energy sources.

Another “weird” story in the news that would fall under the “unreal quality” of the Mars-Neptune umbrella is Joran van der Sloot, the suspect in Natalie Holloway’s disappearance in Aruba (by the Neptune sea) exactly five years ago, is now the focus of an international manhunt after being suspected of killing a woman in Peru this past weekend.  “Mars-Neptune” energy always has the potential for darker elements to it, as Mars rules violence and Neptune rules sacrifice and all things hidden.  Mars-Neptune energy is often characterized as “misplaced aggression” or “hidden aggression.”  Neptune’s ray can be very deceptive and nefarious.  We do probably need to watch our tempers today to make sure that we are not acting out inappropriately.

Update: CNN is reporting that an Irish aid ship is heading for Gaza.  Israel warns of attack if the ship fails to stop.  Yet another manifestation of the volatile “Mars-Neptune” energy playing out on the high seas.

Update: NYT is reporting that the oil pipe has been cut this morning, reportedly a key step in halting the leak.  Engineers can try now to place a cap to catch the leaking oil. Hopefully, this is a positive manifestation of the Mars opposition Neptune “sea energy” and the technologically savvy Aquarian Moon conjunct Neptune.

Opposition aspects can bring matters to a climax, with Mars again signifying the “cutting action” of the pipe and Neptune representing both the sea and the oil pipe.

We have had so many things fail in this endeavor to date that it’s hard to believe that something good could finally be happening here, but maybe something is with this mystifying and hard to see through Mars-Neptune energy, since it is so sea-related and Mars rules new action, and Chiron is getting ready to retrograde tomorrow in Pisces.

Could it also be someone is looking out for us here – maybe a higher Neptunian power?  Neptune is our link to the Divine and Mars is activating that link now. Just a thought.  Also, a hope.

June 3rd Birthdays: Anderson Cooper and Tony Curtis.

Enjoy your Thursday. Make some “beautiful music” with Neptune, or maybe meditate, tap into its higher, more freeing expression.

Patricia Thompson’s Astrology May 22, 2010: Simon Cowell

“My second favorite household chore is ironing.  My first being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint.” Erma Bombeck.

It’s day two of the Moon in Virgo (until 10:50 pm EDT).  What could that portend for us? What do I see taking shape in the crystal ball?  Hmm.

How about a bucket and a mop! After all, it is a Saturday. And, the Virgo Moon is a nut about cleanliness – I’m even cleaning the keyboard as I write this.

Plus we have Venus now deposited in Cancer, signifying a love of the home, and nobody wants a dirty home, especially when the Moon is in tidy Virgo.

Voila. So that’s it!  Our karma question has been readily solved for today.

Yes, the more I think about it, it is our destiny now to be submerged in all manner of cleaning. Virgo is also talented at organizing, so we can line up all of our cleaning supplies and related paraphernalia in a most adroit manner before we even get started.

I also realize, too, that many of us are probably feeling a great deal of moral and spiritual angst today, with the Jupiter (expansion) opposition to Saturn (contraction) almost exact.  But, we’ll talk more about the full meaning of that weighty influence tomorrow, when it will indeed be exact (1:38 am EDT).

Too, Saturn is also in Virgo so why not try to make that cranky old planet a tad happier by removing that annoying ring around the kitchen sink and giving him less competition.

Celebrity News:

Oprah did a “farewell interview” with Simon Cowell on Thursday. Fittingly, Simon’s horoscope (born 10/7/59) was echoing that same “parting sentiment” that day.  He had the transiting Venus exactly opposite his natal Saturn, a classic aspect of separation that also hints at a little bit of sadness.

Venus represents what we love and value.  It shows what we are attached to in the guise of our relationships. It also signifies our creative attachments and things of beauty that we have perhaps given birth to, such as exquisite works of art, paintings.

Saturn meanwhile represents those “safe structures” that we have painstakingly erected in the world as a result of going to work every day and responsibly doing our job.  Saturn showcases to all our composite of talents and skills that we have so keenly honed over time that consequently allows us to eke out a living on the planet.

Indeed, Saturn symbolizes the world that we have diligently assembled for ourselves.  It’s like our little empire. A few people, like Simon, as well as Oprah, are able to manifest gigantic Saturnian empires that have the net affect of allowing them to wield an inordinate amount of “earthly power” and “status.”

Saturn can also signify poignant endings, however, or a letting go of those self-made trappings, especially when paired with relationship Venus, Goddess of Love.

So, on Thursday, with transiting Venus in vulnerable Cancer, the zodiacal sign of the womb, opposite Simon’s Saturn in the professional sign of Capricorn, Simon was saying “goodbye” to a part of the world (Saturn) that he had so creatively crafted (Venus) and birthed, and that had afforded him a notable amount of material riches and worldly success.

He was also saying goodbye, in many ways, to the extension of corresponding relationships that he had forged with the fans who were part of that reality (Saturn) that he had manifested on American Idol, hence there was a palpable tone of sadness in the air during the interview and Simon’s demeanor was also more serious. The “opposition aspect” is an aspect depicting a full culmination of awareness regarding what one has previously set into motion.

For the last few days, Simon has also had in his horoscope, transiting Mercury, denoting thoughts and communication, exactly trine his natal Pluto, the gatekeeper of all of our secrets. Pluto represents the subconscious and all that is hidden from view.  It symbolically depicts what we have buried inside us at the deepest level of our beings.

With Mercury aligned with Pluto, we often get in touch with those hidden elements inside ourselves that we may have previously kept submerged or maybe didn’t even consciously know existed.  Mercury-Pluto is associated with psychotherapy and arriving at a new awareness of the nature of things as a result of unearthing hidden feelings and emotions.

With this aspect, we are also more willing to articulate and share our secrets. During the interview with Oprah, for example, Simon mentioned that he suffers from depression and said that he can be very difficult to be around because of his moods. He also mentioned that he has felt under pressure because so many people depend on him.

I have previously written about Simon Cowell’s horoscope on my blog here, and am not going to go into much detail again about it, except to say that one of the most notable aspects in Simon’s chart is his Venus and Pluto conjoined in workaholic Virgo, the sign of service.

Venus, as I mentioned earlier, denotes what we love and in the sign of Virgo, it shows that we are inclined to be “married to our work.”  Simon even told Oprah that his work has been sort of a girlfriend for him. Pluto also speaks to our need for power and persons with this aspect can be very obsessive and controlling in going about obtaining  that power in the workplace.

Venus-Pluto is often the signature of someone who can be completely consumed by their work to the point of obsession (Pluto). It is very hard for these persons to let go and delegate and also harder for them to relax physically, as Virgo is a more nervous sign physiologically.

Virgo is also all about perfection with an insatiable desire to serve and please and when natives of this sign feel that they are not delivering here, they can feel boatloads of guilt. Simon also addressed this very same guilt issue.

What is very positive now for Simon is that he has transiting Pluto, which often acts as a transforming agent in our lives, exactly trine to his natal Venus-Pluto configuration. This more harmonious trine influence is allowing him to broaden out his scope of pleasurable things (Venus) in his life, beyond the confines of the work sphere (Virgo), to the formation of a very significant personal relationship with someone he apparently plans on marrying.  As I wrote about earlier when I did his horoscope, transiting Pluto to Venus can bring in a soul mate and it does sound like Simon feels that way about the current female presence in his life, at least that is what I gathered from hearing him talking to Oprah.

It could be, too, that Simon’s professional work, in the next couple years, perhaps his involvement with the new American X-Factor, or maybe something else that he is working on, is also going to propel him to even bigger and newer heights on the world stage.

Mick Jagger, incidentally, wrote the lyrics to Satisfaction when Pluto was exactly conjoined his Venus, which is also in the same sign as Simon’s (Virgo).  Satisfaction in a left-handed way is a “soul mate” for Mick and the Stones in that it is their trademark piece of work that most identifies them. Maybe Simon has something else inside him, as well, that he will be birthing soon, that will also impart some kind of fresh trademark status for him beyond his many achievements already.  We’ll just have to wait and see and wish him the best. I know I will personally miss him on Idol, the show will not be the same, but I am looking forward to watching Simon on the X-Factor.

Enjoy your Saturday! Tidy up your nest today with that Virgo Moon. You know, she doesn’t want to see one speck of dust lurking around anywhere.

“When love is not madness, it is not love.” Pedro Calderon de la Barca

With Goddess of Love Venus intimately aligned with indulgent Jupiter in the fantasy-prone sign of Pisces today, and the Moon in touchy-feely Cancer, I believe the Universe is suggesting that we relax and chill out a bit and cuddle up with our favorite Teddy Bear.

What immediately comes to mind with the insatiable energy of the day is Barry White’s Can’t Get Enough Of Your Love Baby.

Let the smoochin’ begin!

Patricia Thompson’s Astrology May 15, 2010: Pluto Soul Mate

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!

Patricia Thompson’s Astrology May 12, 2010: Bob Dylan

“Wisely, and slow.  They stumble that run fast.” William Shakespeare

Some jeweled wisdom there that we’d be well-served to embrace this very day as the Moon enters leisurely Taurus (2:48 am EDT). The slower moving Taurus Moon has a way of soothing our weary soul now, giving it peaceful refuge.

The Moon also connects harmoniously to Mercury adding some measure of safety and stability to our thinking and ideas.

The Moon also reaches out to healing Pluto.  Pluto’s activated ray is able to permeate our physical being, intimately renewing our life force all the way down to the cellular level. A good day to go for a massage. Or to move about in water.

Event in history on this date:

On May 12, 1963 Bob Dylan (born May 24, 1941) was suppose to perform on the Ed Sullivan Show but instead walked off the set when network censors at the last minute would not let him sing the song that he had been earlier cleared to perform. The song that generated all the ruckus was Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues a satirical take on the ultra-conservative John Birch Society.

While Bob Dylan had a niche following at the time, this appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, the highest-rated variety show in America then, would clearly have been a big door-opener for his career.  Yet, he turned it down.

So, what in the heck did he have in his stars that day that gave him the wherewithal to just walk away?

Fascinatingly, Dylan had transiting Mars (combative) in Leo, the sign of entertainment, exactly square to his natal Saturn in Taurus (stubborn) in his fifth house of self-expression and personal creativity.

Mars square Saturn is one of those classic astrological aspects when we tend to bump heads with authority figures.  Mars rules our aggressive urge and speaks to us of our passions.  Saturn meanwhile represents the status quo and the tried and true establishment.  Saturn tries to curtail what we are passionate about (Mars) and puts all manner of restrictions around us. Dylan wasn’t going to have any of it.  Dylan’s horoscope indicates he has a tendency to be extremely stubborn and set in his ways with four planets conjoined in the fixed sign of Taurus and all in his fifth house of talents.

As destiny would have it, Dylan’s principled stand was probably the best strategy he could have ever taken for his career as all the publicity from his walking off the set got him noticed in a big way.  Also helping out here, transiting Saturn in individualistic Aquarius was harmoniously trine to his Mercury shortly after the Ed Sullivan controversy.  Saturn favorable to Mercury gives us firm, supportive footing for expressing our ideas.

Enjoy your Wednesday.  Keep that Shakespeare quote in mind.

“The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.” Albert Einstein.

Wow! Pretty heavy stuff…

And, some fine food for thought, as we get ready to swing into high gear and begin all over again with the energies and trappings of a new week shouting out to us. We have an irrepressible Aries Moon ready to greet us today and, boy oh boy, this one is clamoring for us to take some kind of action.  And, we best be quick about it! The whole world is waiting for us to get out of the corral. Hurry, hurry.

This Aries Moon is manically impatient and restless because liberator Uranus is pounding on her back door, begging to get in.

We also still have the very cool and playful, how about a spring fling, Venus in Gemini and Mars in Leo romantic sextile energy firing up our passions.  We’re even more in a lovestruck mood now that the Moon is back in a flirtatious fire sign.

The biggest fly in the ointment here is probably Thought-Keeper Mercury retrograde in sluggish Taurus.  Golly, Miss Molly!  But, Mercury is finally freed from the contact paper tomorrow at 6:27 pm EDT.  That is really when we can begin to resume warp speed with our thinking and ideas and pick up our flyswatters.

Event in history on this day:

On May 10, 1994 Barbra Streisand began her first concert tour in 30 years.

Barbra, a Taurus (born 4/24/42), had at that time in her horoscope, personally freeing Uranus exactly conjoined her 11th house cusp in the professional sign of Capricorn.  The 11th house represents our fans and audience.

With liberator and change-agent Uranus sitting right there on that 11th house, I believe she was psychologically feeling a certain breakthrough freedom then. Correspondingly, she probably really needed and wanted very much to perform in public again, as if to maybe prove to herself again, as well as to her fans, that she could do it. Uranus is all about daring and shattering self-imposed limitations that are holding us back.

Also, Uranus was simultaneously forming a magnificent grand earth trine (indicating material success) in her horoscope to her natal Saturn and Uranus conjunction in Taurus in her money house and also to her Neptune in Virgo in her sixth house of work.

The grand trine is like the cream of the crop in terms of serving up to us our positive, rewarding karma. It represents a very harmonious flow of energies. Neptune also rules music and the sign Taurus rules the voice.  Too, Pluto’s transforming ray was all over the place in her horoscope then, so it was a very historic (Pluto) time for her.

Barbra has her natal Moon, ruling her emotions, in the entertaining and proud sign of Leo. While part of her emotionally does love being the center of attention (Leo), there is also a deep part of her that longs to be very private and hidden from view, as her Moon is conjoined secretive Pluto, the little guy we were talking about just a moment ago.  Pluto’s legacy to date is that of a hermit.

Additionally, Barbra’s Venus, showing what she loves and values, is in creative and romantic Pisces and sequestered in the behind the scenes Pisces 12th house, which indicates she values her privacy and that she prefers to be alone with her musical gifts and creativity.  Plus, have you seen her husband James Brolin?  She has no reason to ever leave home.  She’d be out of her mind to leave him just to go on the road and sing a few songs.

We love you, Barbra!

Enjoy your Monday!  Do Einstein proud.

Astrology Beatles: Paul, John Meet Under “Venus Uranus”

25 Sunday Apr 2010

Three days before Elvis Presley’s second movie ‘Loving You’ debuted in theaters, John Lennon and Paul McCartney met for the first time as teenagers on July 6, 1957.  John had formed a group called ‘The Quarrymen’ and was playing with his band at the Woolten Parish Church Garden Fete when the two were introduced.  Later in 1960, the two men would form the group ‘The Beatles.’

Most of us meet new people all the time in the course of our daily lives. In cases when we have an attraction or fascination with someone, astrologers like to look to the aspects of Venus, the relationship planet, that governs love and attraction.

Venus also represents artistic and musical expression, as well as money and possessions. It also pertains to physical beauty.

In the heavens on the very day that John and Paul met, Venus was exactly conjunct the highly individualistic, freedom-loving Uranus. Both planets were in the creative, entertainment sign of Leo.

I put a lot of stock in the cosmic energy that is around us when we meet people in our lives. I think it sheds important clues as to the karma and destiny of the relationship. Of course, it’s best to have the exact moment when two people meet, so you can cast the full horoscope.

Venus-Uranus aspects are often characterized as “love at first sight.” Uranian energy is electrifying, like a sudden bolt of lightning out of the blue.

Uranus also rules inventors and can denote genius.  Uranus’s ray stirs up original, even radical impulses within us.  The Venus-Uranus relationship may be inclined to break with the norm in many ways, as well as challenge convention.

Later, of course, when John and Paul were with the Beatles’ they would revolutionize the world not only with their music but also with their long hair which was so different than the prevailing styles, but it set them apart and probably greatly added to their success as well as uniqueness.

Venus-Uranus can denote striking looks and charismatic appeal.  Elizabeth Taylor, for example, has Venus exactly conjunct Uranus in her birth horoscope.

In addition to Venus conjunct Uranus in Leo, energetic and pioneering Mars was also closely conjoined with both of them, just three degrees away, on July 6, 1957.  All three were harmoniously and powerfully trine to longevity Saturn in Sagittarius, the sign which rules publishing.

Perhaps the rewarding Saturn trines helped them to later achieve worldly success with the publishing and recording of their unique blend of music, as well as adding a lasting quality to their relationship.

Sometimes Venus Uranus relationships do not endure over time, and while John and Paul did have their ups and downs and were separated from each other, the byproducts of their relationship will always endure in terms of their musical legacy.

Saturn also helps us to focus and discipline ourselves and aligned to the three Leo planets they were able to successfully channel their creativity.

So, in recapping the energy of that fateful day, we see that there was grand opportunity for creative expression (exemplified by Venus) and this creativity would ideally be able to embody originality and even elements of genius (Uranus).

There was also the trailblazing Mars energy suggesting a passion for pioneering something new.  The trines to Saturn made it all come together successfully in the world.

The public reaction later to John and Paul, as part of the Beatles, and the music that they wrote could also be characterized as very Venus-Uranus, in that many of us instantly fell in love with them and their songs.

Mars conjunct Venus, too, can be a romantic influence and probably why Paul and John wrote so many love songs.  Plus the influence gave the pair sex appeal and charisma.

The erratic and more volatile Mars Uranus conjunction also perhaps fueled a rebellious streak in their relationship with each other and this was depicted in their music at times as well.  Mars-Uranus also helped to firmly establish them as trend setters in the world.

It’s interesting, too, that when John and Paul met each other, Elvis Presley, whose music played a big role in their lives, also seemed to be at his prime, in terms of his display of raw talent and creativity.  Pluto, the transformer, was importantly at the end of Leo then.

When a planet gets to the end of the sign, I often think it’s very symbolic and represents the highest or fullest expression of the energy of that sign.  Of course, in this case, Leo rules entertainment and self-expression.  Pluto always has a powerfully regenerating affect on us.  It also rules the masses and affects mass consciousness.

With Pluto at the end of Leo, we not only had Elvis transforming the entertainment world with his original stage performances and riveting music, we also had John and Paul coming together for the first time.  John and Paul would later reshape the music industry, as well as personally change many of us forever in the process.  All three introduced us to new levels of creativity and personal self-expression (Leo) through their art that we had not witnessed before and all had a huge impact on the collective (Pluto). They were all legends. What you would expect with Pluto who likes to debut historic firsts. And he saved the very best for the end of Leo.
