Cosmic Weather:

Some thick fog is on the horizon today, so we may wish to proceed with caution…

Intellectual Mercury in Virgo opposes fantasy planet Neptune Rx in Pisces (3:40 am):

This short-term annual occurrence tends to veil our senses, rebuffs logic, and may fuel untenable or highly speculative claims e.g. conspiracy theories. Needless to say, the communications sphere may be a bit twisted/confusing now as what we say, mean, or do might be misunderstood. Or what others say/reveal to us may not be the whole truth or enchilada even though they swear on a stack of bibles that it is!

Too, it’s possible someone may think they’re telling us the truth now but – unbeknownst to them – their perspective may be a bit warped or off target at the moment. Also on the shadow side, Mercury-Neptune may rachet up our emotional sensitivities perhaps leaving us more vulnerable to the harmful impact of harsher words or gestures. Likewise, we may want to avoid or sidestep certain persons now who tend to push our buttons.

On the positive side, this planetary configuration can be a real boon for our creativity as Neptune governs our imagination and it may be much easier for us now to conjure up or envision various scenarios or possibilities. We also may take more pleasure now in partaking in cultural or artistic outings.

On a practical level, perhaps one of the best ways to manage this sometimes trickier aspect, communication-wise, is to simply ask for more clarification, when in doubt, instead of assuming anything. We may also want to make sure that others understand the points that we are trying to convey. Fortunately, Luna is in articulate Gemini today until later this evening, so we may have more of a built-in readiness/capacity for dealing with all this back-and-forth type stuff. That said, it may also be best to hold off on any contractual signings/agreements/commitments for the time being as it still may be too easy to miss things.

On another level, we may find ourselves interested in pursuing more transcendental or spiritual matters today with Neptune signifying the non-material realm. Too, with Mercury governing the news, it’s possible that we may hear about more non-secular topics making headlines.

For instance, when Mercury in Virgo opposed Neptune in Pisces on September 2, 2012 (which was right after Neptune first entered its current transit of Pisces) there was the news of the death of self-proclaimed messiah Sun Myung Moon, at the age of 92, the founder of the Unification Church, a movement that is well-known for its “Blessing” or mass weddings ceremonies. The followers of Sun Myung Moon are commonly referred to as “Moonies.” (Wikipedia)

Some other things Neptune rules or is associated with: liquids, gases and chemicals, oil and gasoline, drugs and medication, addiction, and all visual forms of communication.

Born On This Day: Sergey Brin, Russian-American computer scientist and businessman (co-founded Google with Larry Page) in 1973 in Moscow, Soviet Union.

“Ultimately you want to have the entire world’s knowledge connected directly to your mind.” – Sergey Brin

On This Day in History: On August 21, 1987, the film “Dirty Dancing” directed by Emile Ardolino, and starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, opens in the US. The movie became an instant sensation and went on to become one of the highest-grossing films of 1987, also making Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey into bona fide stars. The film contains some of the greatest romantic one-liners of all time along with some amazing dance sequences.

The cosmic lineup was also pretty stellar on the day of the film’s release, with a stellium of planets in entertainment Leo – including the sexy duo Mars and Venus, exactly conjunct in playful Leo and exactly trine to expansive Jupiter in trail-blazing Aries.

“Nobody puts Baby in a corner.”

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology August 9, 2022: Venus Opposes Pluto

Cosmic Weather:

On this second Tuesday of August, we may want to consider holding an impromptu seance to see if Sigmund Freud is possibly available for a quick consult regarding the latest perplexities of our ever-entangled love life..:)

Venus in Cancer opposes Pluto Rx in Capricorn (1:18 am) – While this more intense aspect may arouse our passions, it can also ignite power and control issues within relationships as well as conjure up our jealousies and suspicions. By nature, Venus in Cancer tends to feel or take things very personally; it can also be very clingy or smothering. Paired with forceful, obsessive Pluto, there’s a possibility now that all this neediness goes into overdrive! This tendency to hold on too tightly can also expand beyond people to include things or situations.

“If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, it is yours forever. If it doesn’t, then it was never meant to be.” – Unknown author

On the positive or redemptive side, this transit may tip us off to some hidden or submerged shadow stuff inside ourselves that we are able to, upon reflection, deftly transmute into shiny nuggets of gold.

On This Day in History: On August 9, 1974, Richard Nixon resigns as President of the United States – in wake of the Watergate scandal – and Vice President Gerald Ford swears the oath of office to take his place as the 38th US President.

Among the astrological aspects that day: activator Mars in censoring, corrective Virgo was separating one degree from an exact square to dissolving Neptune – the planet that also rules scandals and deception. (Squares bring about action.) The authoritative Leo Sun (which symbolizes leaders or rulers) was also exactly quincunx to Jupiter in surrendering Pisces, suggesting an adjustment in power. Jupiter can also underscore ethical or moral matters, lapses in judgment, and overstepping boundaries.

*All times EDT

Born On This Day: Chris Haney, a Canadian journalist, in 1950, in Welland, Ontario (d. 2010). Haney created the board game “Trivial Pursuit.”

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Cosmic Weather:

“The loftier the building, the deeper must the foundation be laid.” – Thomas a’ Kempis

Overnight, a big cosmic shift occurred: energy planet Mars exited originating Aries, and descended into slow, deliberate Taurus (2:04 am), the zodiacal sign of money, values, and possessions. However, by no means, does this portend that the feisty red planet has essentially been “put out to pasture” just because it’s now plodding around, seemingly lackadaisically, in this bovine-friendly sign. Rather, Mars has officially entered its building and consolidation phase in Taurus; meaning, that whatever was so exuberantly thrown up against the wall, while Mars was rocketing through its home sign of Aries, during the last six weeks, will now likely be rigorously tested and debated to see whether or not it will admirably stick or ignobly fall by the wayside like so much else in our lives. 🙂

(Too, on Bloomberg Surveillance this morning and news elsewhere, more and more talk about a recession coming with commodity prices falling, including oil cratering today.)

Mars remains in Taurus until August 20th. Also, a key time for Mars here will likely be when it conjuncts change-agent Uranus at the end of July and early August. More on this later.

Also, overnight, communicator Mercury reportedly followed Mars’ lead and fled chatterbox Gemini in a knee-jerk bid to return to the sanctity and the security of the womb in Cancer. (No telling how the US Supreme Court will weigh in on that one!) While Mercury in Gemini is basically an open book, its position in receptive Cancer is much more tenuous and cautious. It also tends to speak from the heart in this Moon-ruled sign. Too, Mars and Mercury are sextile to each other today (2:37 am), ideally making it easier to put into words some of the things that we’ve maybe been feeling of late.

“The more you do speak from the heart, rather than thumping the agenda, people will listen or relate or open themselves up more.” – Drew Barrymore

*All times EDT

On this day in history: On July 5, 1994, Amazon.com was founded in Bellevue, Washington by Jeff Bezos, a Capricorn Sun native (b. January 12, 1964).

Astrologically, among the aspects, that day, the authoritative Sun in Cancer was separating from a trine to structuring Saturn in Pisces, an excellent influence for creating something (i.e. a business) with good longevity prospects. Innovator Uranus, which rules technology and the internet, was also conjunct imaginative Neptune in Capricorn and sextile to transformative Pluto in Scorpio, the latter planet also governing matters that affect the masses. Enterprising Mars also had just entered versatile Gemini, the sign connected with commerce. 

“I think frugality drives innovation, just like other constraints do. One of the only ways to get out of a tight box is to invent your way out.” – Jeff Bezos

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology July 3, 2022: A Waxing Virgo Moon, Mercury Quincunx Pluto

Cosmic Weather:

Putting in my cheery, quarterly appearance. 🙂

On this very first Sunday, in sweltering July, in the northern hemisphere, waxing Luna’s diligent ingress into corrective Virgo territory (8:31 am) suggests a golden opportunity for us to adeptly tinker under the hood to see what might be amiss.

Too, with Luna’s planetary ruler Mercury, in data-gathering Gemini, and quincunx to probing, obsessive Pluto in Capricorn, a possible manifestation here might be that our observations about what’s malfunctioning may duly require us to detail it all in at least a 30-page spreadsheet report replete with picture-perfect margins!

The more health-minded Virgo Moon is also supportive of detox or cleansing efforts.

“Life is an error-making and an error-correcting process.” – Jonas Salk

Also, keeping a close eye now on action-planet Mars nearing the end – or 29th degree – of adventurous, assertive Aries, often a time associated with sudden, last-minute efforts to accelerate or push things forward before we transition into other areas. Mars will enter bullish Taurus on Tuesday, July 5th, a period when we seek to anchor and consolidate matters, including our finances.

“Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.” Epictetus.

(By the way, Albert Brooks also offers up in his wonderful new book From Strength to Strength that a person’s level of satisfaction is generally derived from dividing up what they have by what they want. Such a nice, simple formula, isn’t it? I think practicing gratitude for what we have can also help to foster a greater sense of inner well-being.)

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On July 3, 1863, the Battle of Gettysburg, the largest battle ever fought on the American continent, ends in a major victory for the Union during the US Civil War.

Astrologically, that day, warrior Mars, in confident, authoritative Leo, was applying, one degree, to an exact square to transformative Pluto, an intense aspect often associated with a strong desire to assert one’s dominance, no matter the cost. The protective, more patriotic-minded Cancer Sun was also sextile Pluto and trining wounded healer Chiron in Pisces.

Gettysburg is considered the “high watermark of the rebellion.”  After Gettysburg, the Confederate army would never again regain its momentum.

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Cosmic Weather:

“Libraries were full of ideas—perhaps the most dangerous and powerful of all weapons.” – Sarah J. Maas

We begin our Monday with mental Mercury conjunct expander Jupiter in Pisces (2:06 am). This aspect is supportive for most communications in general as it tends to broaden our outlook and deepen our understanding as well as raise our level of tolerance. Particularly favored now are teachings, writings, or publishings of a more comprehensive or voluminous nature. On another level, mystical or spiritual-type awakenings are also possible.

Additionally, Mars in Aquarius is sextile to Chiron in Aries today (at 4:59 pm) which can aid us in dealing with lingering or thorny issues in a more forthcoming, direct manner.

Also, not to be forgotten or ignored: Waning Luna is standing her guard in secretive, perceptive Scorpio all day!

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On March 21, 2006, the social networking, microblogging site “Twitter” was created (although it didn’t launch until July of that year).

Astrologically, that day, communicator Mercury – retrograde in Pisces – was applying to a conjunction with breakthrough Uranus, the planet which rules technology and the internet. The pioneering Sun in Aries was also conjunct the futuristic North Node and trine to structuring Saturn in self-expressive Leo.

Twitter founder Jack Dorsey’s first-ever tweet recently sold for the equivalent of $2.9m (£2.1m) to a Malaysia-based businessman. The tweet, which said “just setting up my twttr,” was first published on March 21, 2006, and was auctioned off by Mr. Dorsey for charity.

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well

Astrology March 20, 2022: The Spring Equinox and Aries Season

20 Sunday Mar 2022

Cosmic Weather:

“And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been” – Rainer Maria Rilke

Today we celebrate the Spring Equinox – a time when day and night are about equal length as the Sun passes directly above the equator. This also officially kicks off the start of the astrological new year and the Sun’s ingress into pioneering Aries (at 11:33 am).

The life-giving Sun, which represents our identity and the basic urge to be, is said to be exalted in the “I Am” sign of Aries the Ram – meaning it is deemed to be the prime locale for the Sun to exuberantly shine and do its thing. The sudden re-emergence of the burgeoning life force in nature during the springtime, when everything is abloom, is thought to mirror the vast creative ability of Aries to manifest its desires in the outside world.

Mars-ruled Aries, the first of the fire signs, signifies energy that is initiating, spontaneous, brave, and courageous. Likewise, Aries season is the time when we are strongly encouraged to get the ball rolling with new projects, fresh starts, prolifically planting seeds of intention.

“Never underestimate the power you have to take your life in a new direction.” – Germany Kent

On another level, the Spring Equinox itself – with its equal amount of light and dark – is perceived to be a good time to reset the balance of things in our own lives so as to make them more enjoyable and fulfilling.

“Life is a tightrope walk. One has to balance the do’s and don’ts.” – Haresh Sippy

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On March 20, 1969, Beatle John Lennon married Japanese artist and musician Yoko Ono in Gibraltar.

Astrologically, that day, romantic Venus, solidifying Saturn, and the nurturing Moon were all conjunct in trailblazing Aries. Expansive Jupiter and unconventional Uranus were also tightly conjunct in matrimonial Libra.

A few days after John and Yoko tied the knot – and while they were still on their honeymoon – the pair invited members of the press to join them in their honeymoon suite at the Amsterdam Hilton Hotel to protest the Vietnam War (in bed) and preach world peace.

“If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there’d be peace.” – John Lennon

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology March 7, 2022: Waxing Moon is in Deliberate Taurus

Cosmic Weather:

“You were given life; it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight.” – Elizabeth Gilbert

Overall, the traffic is lighter on the cosmic highway this week. Today, the Waxing Moon is in slow-moving Taurus the bull – the sign of its exaltation – giving us, hopefully, a chance to catch our breath. This is good grounding energy that supports going at things at our own pace. Taking stock of financial, security, and stability issues may also be something that is front and center for us now.

Luna is also forming harmonious sextiles to Jupiter (8:49 am), the Sun (12:03 pm), and Neptune (11:03 pm), ideally supporting our sense of well-being and endowing us with more of a flair for cooperation – although Luna’s square to Saturn (4:56 pm) may also coincide with a temporary need to pull back or go it alone.

Too, while the Taurus Moon emotionally poises us to be more deliberate and cautious, the shift of motivator Mars into innovative, inventive Aquarius yesterday, along with relationship Venus, does also suggest more of a propensity or aptitude for experimentation or doing things up differently now. There is also more of an enhanced willingness for partnering with others either individually or on a collective basis to achieve our ends, including, perhaps, the creation of some rather odd or untested pairings. Both Mars and Venus will remain in the sign of the water bearer, until early April. Also, looking back in 2020 – the last time that Mars was in Aquarius (from late March to mid-May) – we saw accelerated breakthroughs in creating vaccines for Covid-19.

*All times EST

On This Day in History: On March 7, 1876, Alexander Graham Bell receives a patent for the telephone in the U.S.

Astrologically, that day, communicator Mercury (which rules telephones) was in inventive Aquarius and separating from an opposition to technology-minded Uranus, the modern-day ruler of Aquarius. Mercury was also applying to an exact square to transformational Pluto; Mercury-Pluto aspects often pertain to news/events/messages that affect or shape the masses.

“When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.” – Alexander Graham Bell

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology March 1, 2022: Balsamic Moon, A Double-One Day

Cosmic Weather:

“If I speak of myself in different ways, that is because I look at myself in different ways.” – Michel de Montaigne

Today, 3-1-2022 is a “double-one” day numerologically, thought to bestow such qualities as purposefulness, leadership, creativity, and great determination to reach our goals. Typically, such a moment would also be deemed a propitious time to launch new beginnings; however, in the midst of a Balsamic Moon, it is thought best to occupy ourselves now with mainly future planning instead, as well as making space for quiet reflection and breaking down of the old, in preparation for tomorrow’s Pisces New Moon. Luna is also void of course in Aquarius today until its entrance into Pisces, later this afternoon (3:53 pm).

Shortly after midnight tonight, the Pisces Sun will also form an exact sextile with Uranus in Taurus (12:05 am), which suggests that today we will also perhaps feel more inclined towards donning new approaches or methods, going against convention, associating with people or alliances we may not normally gravitate towards possibly in an effort to stimulate and expose ourselves to different orientations or unfamiliar perspectives. Also, just being part of a larger whole now can feel much more meaningful and purposeful to us, especially when bound by shared interests.

*All times EST

On This Day in History: On March 1, 1781, the Continental Congress officially adopts the Articles of Confederation, the first constitution of the United States of America after ratification by the 13th state, Maryland. The Articles of Confederation created a national government composed of a Congress, which had the power to declare war, appoint military officers, sign treaties, make alliances, appoint foreign ambassadors, and manage relations with Native Americans.

Astrologically, that day, transformational Pluto was in futuristic Aquarius, the sign of the collective, and exactly trine to envisioning Neptune in Libra. Motivator Mars and structuring Saturn were also conjunct in philosophical, big picture Sagittarius, excellent for laying down a solid foundation built upon or nurtured by our strongly held beliefs, convictions, and vision.

“If we are undone, we are the most splendidly ruined of any nation in the universe.” – Charles Thomson, secretary of the Continental Congress.

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology February 28, 2022: Moon Squares Uranus, Conjuncts Saturn

28 Monday Feb 2022

Cosmic Weather:

“We must bend in the wind sometimes… So much is beyond our control.” Maggie Shipstead

We start out the last day of February on a bit of a rollercoaster ride! The waning Moon in collective-governing Aquarius is forming a hard square to its modern-day ruler erratic Uranus (8:50 am), which is deposited in the money and security sign of Taurus the Bull. (Interestingly, too, on a collective level, we have all the geopolitical financial sanctions going on now against Russia and many are not sure of how all of this will play out or impact the markets.)

Moon-Uranus, on the shadow side, is often associated with mood swings, rebelliousness, restlessness, the need for excitement. That said, it can also produce sudden insights or awakenings, fluctuations on the homefront.

Luna’s passage through Aquarius also serves to reactivate the ongoing but separating Saturn-Uranus square (i.e. a clash between the old and new), with Luna’s very last planetary stop of the day: a potent conjunction with “play-by-the-rules” Saturn (9:00pm); this is an aspect that could, among other things, help to present us with an unembellished reality check, possibly resulting in our temporarily adopting more of a stoic-type attitude, as we ponder our next moves.

“Nothing, to my way of thinking, is a better proof of a well-ordered mind than a man’s ability to stop just where he is and pass some time in his own company.” – Seneca

After Luna conjuncts Saturn it will also embark upon a long void-of-course period until its entrance into Pisces, tomorrow afternoon (3:53 pm).

Meanwhile, both Venus and Mars in Capricorn are also trining the growth-oriented North Node in Taurus today, a nice aspect of ease and flow that could pleasantly manifest a robust opportunity for us to take practical and meaningful action steps towards our future and the person we wish to become.

*All times EST

On This Day in History: On February 28, 1953, molecular biologists Francis Crick and James Watson discover the chemical structure of the DNA-molecule (double-helix polymer).

Astrologically, that day, energizing Mars was in pioneering Aries and separating (less than one degree) from an exact square to breakthrough Uranus in Cancer, providing an abundance of creative and inventive energy. (When Steve Jobs co-founded Apple Computer, Mars in Cancer was also exactly trine to Uranus in Scorpio, the planet which rules technology.) Meanwhile, expansive Jupiter in Taurus was also just separating, on 2/28/53, from an exact sextile to Uranus. Over the years, Jupiter-Uranus aspects have been linked with various modern advances and leaps forwad including the first US spacewalk on the Moon by astronaut Neil Armstrong, on July 21, 1969, which took place when Jupiter and Uranus were exactly conjunct at 0 degrees of Libra.

In 1962, Crick and Watson, along with Maurice Wilkins would go on to win the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work in determining the structure of DNA.

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Cosmic Weather:

“My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light!” – Edna St. Vincent Millay

This Sunday morning finds the waning Moon hovering over (conjuncting) the current lineup in self-determined Capricorn, which consists of social Venus (4:06 am), assertive Mars (5:06 am), and concentrated Pluto (9:49 am); perhaps a test run of what’s going to occur Thursday when both Mars and Venus conjoin transformative Pluto in the sky.

On the plus side, there is more prompting/possibility now to adeptly marshall our energies and focus diligently on the tasks before us; preferably, also retiring those activities, plans, or interests that no longer serve us on our journey, as we prepare for the replenishing New Moon in Pisces, March 2nd. On the shadow side now, we may feel things too deeply, or darkly, or take matters to extremes.

That said, Venus is also pairing up nicely today with dedicated Vesta – the official, symbolic keeper of the flame – in Capricorn (2:25 pm), potentially making it easier and more pleasant to attract/focus on our work, our priorities, or the things that we love and want more of in our life. 

“Your life is a beautiful blank canvas. You have the choice of splashing it with the most gorgeous and spectacular colors, by doing what you love.” – Hiral Nagda

Luna also will enter reform-minded Aquarius, this afternoon (1:36 pm).

*All Times EST

On This Day in History: On Feb. 27, 1922, the Supreme Court, in Leser v. Garnett, unanimously upheld the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which guaranteed the right of women to vote.

Astrologically, that day, there was a New Moon (new beginnings) in unifying Pisces, with the empowering Sun, liberating Uranus, feminine Venus, and maternal Luna, all closely conjunct and trine to evolutionary Pluto in Cancer. Over the years, Uranus and Pluto have been instrumental in fostering, ushering in radical social changes.

Decision-maker Mercury, in collectively-minded Aquarius, was also forming a one-degree trine to inclusive Jupiter in Libra, the zodiacal sign signifying the courts and scales of justice. Traditionally, Jupiter, the planet of opportunity, has also been perceived as representing our sense of ethics or our moral compass; wanting to make things better as a whole for all. Of course, there’s not always universal agreement on how precisely to achieve this. 🙂

“There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers.” Susan B. Anthony

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well. Let’s all pray for world peace.
