“You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do.” – Carl Gustav Jung

Cosmic Weather:

The authoritative Sun, symbolizing our ego and will, makes its annual conjunction with assertive Mars in investigative, transformational Scorpio today (12:42 am). Potentially inspiring us to confidently or courageously act upon or defend our deepest passions or ambitions. At the same time, perhaps stoking our desire for employing new methods, new approaches, including embracing/welcoming new beginnings. Existing situations could also reach pivotal turning points.

Planetary conjunctions represent birthdays, of sorts. Fresh starts.

To this end, Waxing Luna’s entrance into experimental Aquarius (6:28 am) also helps to support this more galvanizing, pioneering Sun-Mars energy.

While breakthroughs are possible – and perhaps more likely now – due, in part, to our potentially more determined, undaunted desire to go to the next level or see matters through to the very end, on the shadow side, we may also want to be more mindful of a tendency, at the moment, to go to extremes (the Scorpio energy), when perhaps a more nuanced approach might, ultimately, serve us better in the long run.

Too, proactively seeking to avoid engaging in more reactive behavior (such as throwing temper tantrums when something/someone provokes our ire) or taking measures to contain inflammable situations before they erupt or get out of hand may also go far to adding to the peace, stability, and success of the day.

On the other hand, now may also be a healthy time to share/vent how we really feel about things in a bid to clear the air. This is also a good period for purging/repurposing items.

Additionally, now could be a litmus test to see how well we are using/abusing/wielding our personal power. We may also gain a fresh new understanding or awareness concerning what really excites us at our core/what truly makes us come alive.

“Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.” – Lao Tzu

On This Day in History:  On November 18, 1963, Bell Telephone introduces the touch-tone telephone to customers in Pennsylvania. (Before this new advance, we had the old-fashioned rotary dial telephone.)

Astrologically, that day, enterprising Mars, in futuristic Sagittarius, was exactly sextile to solidifying Saturn in innovative Aquarius. An excellent influence for building upon the trusty structure of the past.

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

Cosmic Weather:

“Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.” – Steve Jobs

This Thursday, intellectual Mercury in Gemini squares minimalist Saturn in Pisces (12:09 pm) so the idea of “doing more with less” may work to our advantage. It’s an excellent aspect for focusing, long-term planning, getting organized, whittling down our decision-making. In general, solid preparation can help to override our worries or fears now. It could also be that any rejection we may experience now may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

“Every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better.” – Steve Maraboli

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On June 15, 1965, Bob Dylan records his iconic single “Like a Rolling Stone.” It is the #1 song in Rolling Stone magazine’s “500 Greatest Songs of All Time.”

Astrologically, that day, artistic Venus in Cancer was involved in a Grand Trine in water with structuring Saturn in Pisces and imaginative Neptune in Scorpio – a very harmonious configuration that is thought to make it easier for us to manifest our visions or dreams, especially those of a creative nature, as this aspect suggests in-depth creative potential as well as depth of feeling.

Confrontational Mars, in critiquing Virgo, was also applying to an exact square to the empowering Sun in wordsmith Gemini – seemingly a perfect match for the song’s more confrontational lyrics. The lyrics are about a woman – a debutante – who has lost everything and is now living on the streets. The song is often interpreted as a commentary on the changing times of the 1960s. (Wikipedia)

Today’s Birthdays: Xi Jinping, the President of China, is turning 70 today. CNN journalist Dana Bash is also 52.

Astrology June 10, 2023: Last Quarter Moon in Pisces

Cosmic Weather:

“I thank God for my failures. Maybe not at the time but after some reflection. I never feel like a failure just because something I tried failed.” – Dolly Parton

This second Saturday in June we are gifted with a Last Quarter Moon in contemplative Pisces (3:31 pm), which means that Luna is halfway between the last Full Moon and upcoming New Moon. The LQM is perceived to be an optimum time to retrieve the trusty scorecard, from out of our back packet, and evaluate our most recent spate of hits or misses, with an eye to moving on from what is deemed no longer achievable or practical. Likewise, this lunar phase is also regarded as an ideal period for looking ahead and crafting our intentions or goals for the next New Moon (which will be occurring in Gemini on June 18th).

Meanwhile, Luna in Pisces also suggests leaning more into our intuition now, or cranking up the volume on what our inner voice may be saying to us.

“Intuition is like reading a word without having to spell it out. A child can’t do that because it has had so little experience. A grown-up person knows the word because they’ve seen it often before.” – Agatha Christie

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On June 10, 1935, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) was founded in Akron, Ohio by Bill Wilson and Robert Smith (known as Dr. Bob).  The organization, which is now worldwide, was created to help people struggling with alcoholism and to provide them a safe space to share their experiences and support each other.

Astrologically, that day, Saturn, often billed as “the taskmaster,” which teaches us the power of self-reliance and self-discipline, was in compassionate Pisces and applying (one-degree) to an exact opposition to Neptune in health-oriented Virgo; Neptune also signifies, among other things, drugs, alcohol, and addiction issues.

Oppositions tend to deliver results or may bring matters to a climax or culmination. Ideally, Saturn opposing Neptune serves to supply us with more determination or resolve to face down our fears or weaknesses; it may also usher in a greater reliance or receptivity to the idea of a higher power helping to see us through our difficulties.

Also, on that date, communicator Mercury was in sympathetic Cancer and exactly sextile to innovative, group-oriented Uranus in grounded Taurus, an aspect which can help to foster new insights or facilitate new approaches.

“We are not cured of alcoholism. What we have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition. Every day is a day when we must carry the vision of God’s will into all of our daily activities.” – Bill Wilson

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

Cosmic Weather:

“I love the challenge of starting at zero every day and seeing how much I can accomplish.” – Martha Stewart

This Tuesday morning, we step out of the gate with motivator Mars, in showy Leo, squaring everyone’s favorite optimist-junkie Jupiter – who is now officially headquartered in got-to-have Taurus. (1:13 am). Wanting to make a big splash in the world and spearheading things that generate seismic ripple effects, may simply be something too irresistible to pass up now. Especially if our lofty egos are involved! Too, while we may be able to pull off some whale-sized accomplishments, at the moment – particularly if we avail ourselves of opportunities that may suddenly appear before us – knowing when to dial it back a bit, may also prove to be a gallant strategy in the long run. Remember, Saturn’s rings are there for a reason!

Overall, though, this can be a fun and exciting day. Good for embarking on new adventures.

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, Wow! What a Ride!” – Hunter S. Thompson

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On May 23, 1900, the Associated Press News Service (AP) began in New York. Astrologically, at the time, the empowering Sun had just entered the news and information sign of Gemini (the day before). Expansive Jupiter and innovative Uranus were also conjunct in truth-seeking Sagittarius, a sign in which we aspire to stretch our world views as well as supply greater meaning and understanding to what Gemini has gathered.

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

Cosmic Weather:

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

We start our Monday morning off with the empowering Sun, in multi-faceted Gemini, forming a waning sextile to action-planet Mars in commanding Leo (1:57 am). This perceived opportunity aspect may help to put a bit of swagger in our step. It also potentially bodes well for creative endeavors, fostering new approaches, gathering information. Our curiosity could lead us down a myriad of paths now. Breakthroughs are also possible.

In numerology, the 22nd day of the month is also regarded as the Master Builder number. It is associated with organizational ability, productivity, and leadership. Some also view this number as a potent facilitator to more readily allow us to tap into our Soul’s purpose or wisdom.

“As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.” – Carl Jung

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On May 22, 1992, Comedian and late-night TV host Johnny Carson signs off for the last time after hosting “The Tonight Show” for 30 years. His final show featured no guests, focusing instead on clips and remembrances from Carson, sidekick Ed McMahon, and bandleader Doc Severinsen. (Jay Leno would become the new host of the show.)

Astrologically, that night, Luna was in broadcast-ruling, eclectic Aquarius and applying to a conjunction with more serious-minded Saturn; Saturn is linked with partings or endings. Communicator Mercury – the planet which also governs talk show hosts – was in grounded, reliable Taurus and just separating from an opposition to transformational Pluto in Scorpio. This more intense energy also maybe lending some extra poignancy, depth, or disclosure to the conversation on the final show that night.

Asked how he became a star, Mr. Carson once replied:

“I started in a gaseous state and then I cooled.” 🙂

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

Astrology March 22, 2023: Moon Conjuncts Jupiter, FDR Legalizes Beer and Wine

Cosmic Weather:

“It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through.” – Zig Ziglar

This Wednesday – with Luna remaining in trailblazing, initiating Aries all day – and also fresh off the heels of the gangbuster Aries New Moon yesterday, the hustle and bustle in the heavens continues head on today.

Of course, it may also help out our personal cause now a bit – in terms of achieving any long-term success – if we have some clear idea, notion, or vision of where we want to go and what we intend to do once we get there.

Though, on the flip side, some behavioral researchers are also saying now that – in some instances – just taking action in a new direction, without prior prepping or planning, might also end up being a winning strategy for us as well. At least it gets us out there, soaking up a new environment, and that real-life immersion can potentially be helpful in illuminating for us what our next steps should likely be. Especially since many people also seemingly discover their true calling or sense of purpose often by accident in the course of pursuing something else.

This latter approach to generating new beginnings, new experiences, new growth also seems to be a pretty compatible fit for the more perceived spontaneous, irrepressible nature of Aries energy itself, which is often depicted as tending to want to throw everything up against the proverbial wall in hopes that something will eventually stick.

Too, it appears that we may be keeping our fingers crossed that something really big will be sticking today as the risk-taking Aries Moon conjuncts gargantuan Jupiter, later this afternoon (4:17 pm).

Moon-Jupiter potentially provides us with whopping doses of momentum to advance our agendas, as well as heightened self-confidence, especially in adventurous Aries. Of course, on the shadow side, the possible risk with Jupiter is that we do too much, overestimate our capabilities, or act too impulsively.

“All the world is a birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much.” – George Harrison

Today’s Question(s): If you were to “go big” today, what might that look like or entail for you – and what area of your life would you likely be focusing on?

*All times EDT

On This Day in History:

On March 22, 1933, President Roosevelt (FDR) makes beer and wine legal in the US as initiating Mars – in health and habit-forming Virgo – applies to a conjunction to substance-ruling Neptune; Mars tends to energize whatever it is aligned with.

Meanwhile, expansive Jupiter in Virgo was also separating from a conjunction to Neptune while Luna was deposited in change-oriented, freedom-loving Aquarius.

Born On This Day: Canadian actor William Shatner, best known for playing Captain James T. Kirk in the science fiction television series Star Trek (1966–69) and in several Star Trek films. Shatner is turning 92 today.

“What does God need with a starship?” – William Shatner.

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

Cosmic Weather:

“Normally, we do not so much look at things as overlook them.” – Alan Wilson Watts

This Thursday morning intellectual Mercury conjuncts exacting Saturn in “doubting Thomas” Aquarius (9:34 am) tending to inject more gravity, skepticism, or cautiousness into our thinking, words, or communications. Since our mental focus is perceived to be more narrowed or concentrated now, it can often be a good period to comb through the fine details of matters, particularly, perhaps, looking for the weaknesses or vulnerabilities in things. It is also possible now that we are wrapping up or finishing a final review of something as this conjunction is coming at the 29th (or anaretic) degree of Aquarius.

Today’s annual Mercury-Saturn conjunction is also occurring with love goddess Venus and big-hearted Jupiter affectionately paired up in the sky in adventurous Aries (12:36 am), suggesting that we are also poised and ready for adding something new or bold to our lives that ideally affords us more personal freedom and self-expression. It can also be a propitious time to expand our sphere of relationships as well as to immerse ourselves in social activities.

Later this afternoon, Mercury will also enter dreamy, idealistic Pisces (5:52 pm) for a 16-day stay.

*All times EST

On This Day in History: On March 2, 1965, one of the most popular films of all time, The Sound of Music, starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, premiers (Academy Awards Best Picture, 1966).

Astrologically, that day, there was a stellium of five planets (plus Chiron) in creative Pisces, the sign associated with filmmaking or visual imagery. Mental Mercury in Pisces was also applying to an exact trine to imaginative Neptune in potent Scorpio, the modern-day ruler of Pisces. Mars in craftsmanship Virgo was also sextile Neptune as well as trine to expansive Jupiter in the financial and artistic sign of Taurus. Mars-Jupiter aspects tend to generate or correlate with mega amounts of enthusiasm and passion for our endeavors, while the Mars-Neptune energy can help us to skillfully manifest our dreams or visions, so that they become very real to us.

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

Cosmic Weather:

“For a second I was almost jealous of the clouds. Why was he looking to them for an escape when I was right here beside him?” – Kamila Shamsie, Kartography

Balloons have been in the news quite a bit, as of late. And this morning seems to be echoing that sort of balloon-ish theme a tad, as the Waxing Moon in airy, curious Gemini squares off against gaseous Neptune in escapist Pisces (10:46 am). It is very possible that this murkier, more untethered lunar setup could prime us to want to mentally float or drift off course for a while – preferably to some undetectable locale – so, ideally, we can steep ourselves in fantasy and skirt around having to be accountable to anyone but ourselves; the woes of the workaday world temporarily subdued – or, at least, ideally less of a factor for us.

(By the way, in case you didn’t know, a British scientist – Michael Faraday – is credited with inventing the first rubber balloon in 1824. What is also pretty wild is that early balloons were reportedly made of animal bladders or intestines; Galileo, for instance is said to have used an inflated pig’s bladder in an experiment to measure the weight of air.) 

Anyway, as the day goes on, we do (seemingly) manage to somehow regain our affection or affinity for the “real world” (Moon trine Saturn at 8:07 pm). Too, Luna’s shift into Cancer the Crab (9:40 pm) accentuates a need or longing for secure connections firmly rooted in our past.

“The past beats inside me like a second heart.” – John Banville, The Sea

On This Day in History: On February 28, 1983, the final episode of M-A-S-H aired to record ratings. Nearly 106 million viewers, or 77 percent of the American TV-watching public, tuned in to watch the finale. After 11 seasons, the television show about a US Army medical unit serving in the Korean War lasted longer than the war itself. (Wikipedia)

Astrologically, that day, the empowering Sun was in dissolving Pisces at 9 degrees and exactly square to Jupiter conjunct Uranus at 9 degrees of storytelling Sagittarius. Jupiter perennially serves to expand the scope or reach of things and paired with Uranus, the planet ruling broadcasting, it wasn’t surprising – astrologically-speaking – that the last episode of the show garnered such a gargantuan audience. Jupiter-Uranus energy also typically has a special “buzz” to it, or suggests some ‘out of the ordinary’ occurrence.

*All times EST

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

Cosmic Weather:

“What we truly need to do is often what we most feel like avoiding.” – David Allen

Somewhat quieter on the celestial front today as we await Mars stationing direct in Gemini on Thursday.

The transition from Leo to Virgo is always rather stark, isn’t it? As we are essentially going from wanting to be the “life of the party” to officially becoming part of the late night “clean-up crew!” 🙂

Ideally, the Moon’s two-day transit of Virgo now will help us to become more self-disciplined, efficient, and productive. More solution minded. Allow us to build up or flex our organizational muscles. And hopefully inspire us to, overall, take better care of ourselves – body, mind, and spirit. It is also generally regarded as an excellent time to set up new daily routines or habits.

“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” – Jim Ryun

(Moon exits Leo and enters Virgo 10:15 am.)

*All times EST

Born On This Day: American singer Pat Benatar [Andrezejewski] in Brooklyn NY. Benatar is turning 70 today! “Love Is A Battlefield” remains one of Benatar’s best songs: it rose to No. 5 on the Hot 100, her highest place on the chart to date.

On This Day in History: RCA introduces the 45 RPM record in 1949. A format that would revolutionize pop music.

Astrologically, that day, intellectual Mercury and pioneering Mars were in a tight, two-degree conjunction in inventive Aquarius, the sign formally ruling technology. Mercury and Mars pairings can also often signal big events or situations that grab or generate the headlines. Meanwhile, artistic Venus in Gemini, governing music and the arts, was also in an exact opposition with revolutionizing Uranus in Sagittarius, the modern-day ruler of Aquarius. Venus also reflects what provides us with pleasure or amusement and often when linked with Uranus we long for a change of pace, including sometimes seeking out radically new experiences/people/situations that make us feel more alive.

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

Cosmic Weather:

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” – Lao Tzu

This Monday morning, the “Cosmic Lovers” are aligned in the sky, ideally boding well for romance or matters of the heart as well as socializing and endeavors that require cooperation or points of agreement. With Mars Rx, it is also possible that people or situations from our past somehow re-enter the picture now.

Too, with Mars in its retro phase, we may find that we are not quite as direct or forward as we normally might be, although we may still feel inside us a plethora of competitive and creative juices converging at this time.

Waning Luna will also remain in self-expressive Leo all day, which should lend more of a supportive portal for the manifestation of this more harmonious trine energy. Too, with this alignment occurring in air signs, we may feel a bit of an intellectual lift throughout the day.

(Venus in Aquarius Trine Mars Rx in Gemini, 10:22 am. Waning Moon in Leo Quincunx Sun in Capricorn, 12:25 pm.)

*All times EST

On This Day in History:  On January 9, 2007, Steve Jobs announced the first iPhone at the Macworld convention, receiving substantial media attention. Jobs announced that the first iPhone would be released later that year. On June 29, 2007, the first iPhone was released. (Wikipedia)

Astrologically, on 1/09/2007, communicator Mercury was in a tight conjunction with the empowering Sun in corporate Capricorn – an aspect that we also just had, this past weekend – and a time when we tend to be privy to important messages or communiques that can impact or shape our world in meaningful ways. Expansive Jupiter in futuristic Sagittarius was also applying (2 degrees) to an exact square to innovative Uranus, ruling technology – an aspect that I have frequently mentioned before here that is often thought to be linked with elements of genius (Uranus is the higher octave of intellectual Mercury). Jupiter’s activated ray also tends to extend the size and scope of things. Additionally, pioneering Mars in Sagittarius had also just completed an exact trine to structuring Saturn in creative Leo – suggesting a payback after a period of hard work.

“An iPod, a phone, an internet mobile communicator… these are NOT three separate devices! And we are calling it iPhone! Today Apple is going to reinvent the phone. And here it is.” – Steve Jobs
