COSMIC WATCH:

“Don’t part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.” Mark Twain

This insightful Mark Twain quote may be of some temporary consolation to us today as we grapple with the psychedelic impact of illusionist Neptune, in “permanently out to sea” Pisces, exactly square to the brightly lit Sun in “talk therapy” Gemini.

“Father, please forgive us in advance, for what we say and do today. We haven’t a clue. Amen.” 🙂

Veiled, dissolving Neptune governs our urge for fantasy or escape. When its ray is activated, our feet seem to “not be on the ground.” We are wanting to flee the real world for “other realms,” including the world of our own, sometimes scary imagination, which Neptune presides over. With Sun-Neptune it is easier for us to be confused, bewildered, or bewitched.

Too, with this aspect, we are often unable to maintain healthy boundaries around us and we are more prone to letting in questionable elements that could serve to undermine us in some way. That is why we need to be a bit more wary of what is around us today and especially be on guard against deceptive (Neptune) forces. If something seems a little weird to us, chances are that it’s only the “tip of the iceberg” and we need to run immediately for cover. The thing is about Neptune’s pull, too, is that it often glamorizes things that are really not good for us (Neptune rules drugs and alcohol).

Of course, it is true that we still have the Moon in analytical Aquarius, which normally can help us to detach from our vulnerabilities and navigate things objectively, although the Moon is also pummeling the likes of “relationship” Venus (2:12 pm EDT), “defensive” Mars (2:46 pm EDT), and “logical” Mercury (5:53 pm EDT), making it potentially more challenging for us to relate to others logically and with a healthy sensitivity. Thankfully, though, the Moon will make a harmonious trine to “safe harbor” Saturn in “peace preserving” Libra by day’s end (7:01 pm EDT). And, not to be overlooked, Venus, Mars and Mercury are still in “rock solid” Taurus, also boding well for our prospects of being able to successfully parachute back “down to earth.”

Interestingly, cute Beatle, Paul McCartney, was born with his Sun in Gemini in his tenth house of career exactly square to dreamy Neptune in workhorse Virgo. Neptune is also exactly conjoined Paul’s Virgo Ascendant, with the Ascendant being the window in which one views the world. Paul is a perfect example of how to effectively channel Neptune’s more imaginative ray to one’s own advantage, by being able to fully immerse himself into the world of his own creativity and also become a billionaire in the process. Neptune also rules music.

Beyond that, Paul, and the Beatles, actually served as a conduit to facilitate much of the planet’s immersion into “Neptune’s whimsical realms”  through their floodgate of  music, thereby freeing us from the prosaic drone of our daily lives. They acted as a Neptunian narcotic, in many ways, enlisting us as Sgt. Pepper band members as a surefire way of escape (Neptune).

Paul also has his initiating, pioneering Mars tightly conjunct focused Pluto in entertainment Leo providing him with obsessive drive and natural-born desire for self-expression and showmanship (his Moon is also in Leo). Right now, we also have Mars, Venus and Mercury in tangible, artistic Taurus trining Pluto in ambitious Capricorn, somewhat of an equivalent form of energy here, in addition to the “magical, mystery tour” invitation of today’s Sun square Neptune.

Daily Astrology Scoop Horoscope April 4, 2010: Karmic Ties

Transformational energy converges upon us.  We are awakened to new possibilities, particularly in the realm of personal relationships (Venus trine Pluto).

A new person coming into our life now, that we have a strong reaction to, could be someone that we had a karmic tie with in the past. They may be reappearing at this time to teach us about issues of power and managing our personal resources, as well as to help us experience deep-level emotions.

“Life’s unfairness is not irrevocable; we can help balance the scales for others, if not always for ourselves.” Hubert Humphrey.

There is an intensity factor to all new relationships forged now. We may sense a “fated quality” to them. We should pay extra close attention to who comes into our path of orbit now and under what circumstances and make note of how we intuitively feel about them when we meet them. Our intuition may provide valuable insights into the lessons we are suppose to learn from them.

Meanwhile, an existing relationship may go through a “resurrection-phase” and perhaps reach a new level of involvement and commitment. This is an excellent time for taking inventory of the close relationships in our lives and examining their meaning in terms of how they are serving our higher purpose. Toxic relationships should be pruned.

Our power to attract to us the material resources that we desire is enhanced now.  This is generally a favorable time to sow seeds for new endeavors that could pay off handsomely for us in the future.

We do need to exercise some caution, however, regarding personal spending, especially for spur-of-the-moment impulse buying, which we could end up regretting later (Mercury square Mars).

Additionally, it’s a good time to scrutinize what it is that we are passionate about, in terms of our activities, hobbies, and interests, with an eye to restructuring our lives in such a way that we are able to include more of our favorite things into our daily existence, while weeding out outlets that we are only lukewarm or robotic about.

Lastly, many of us may be dealing with “anger management issues” today to varying degrees (Mercury square Mars).  We may either be wrestling with our own tempers (Mars) or have stressful interaction with angry individuals. This is not a day to be  bullying others or for engaging in road-rage, as the karma incurred could be significant.

Famous Aries persons born April 4th: Maya Angelou, Muddy Waters, Robert Downey, Jr., Anthony Perkins

Special Birthday Salute to Maya Angelou: Maya turns 82 years young today! Her natal Aries Sun is closely conjoined expansive Jupiter in her birthchart and both are in her 9th house of writing and teaching.  Maya is a prolific author (Jupiter) and has written over 12 books in addition to poetry and even song-writing. Sun-Jupiter individuals often serve as mentors to the rest of us as they are normally philosophically minded and inspirational in their communication style.  They deeply love sharing their knowledge and wisdom and do so passionately and enthusiastically.

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” Henry Brooks Adams.

Maya also has idealistic and imaginative Neptune on her Ascendant (the window from which she looks out to the world). Neptune conjunct the Ascendant makes her very visionary and otherworldy (as well as highly creative).  It also suggests a heightened sensitivity to her environment, especially an ability to pick up on the moods of people around her like a psychic sponge.  Maya likely functions best when she is able to fit in frequent periods of seclusion to recharge both her psychological and spiritual batteries.

Peace and love, everyone.  Happy Easter!
