COSMIC WEATHER:

“If we’re growing, we’re always going to be out of our comfort zone.” John Maxwell

“Expansion” is the keyword for us today, as the powerhouse Sun annually conjoins Jupiter (10:41 am EDT), the largest planet in our solar system associated with”growth and opportunity.” With Sun-Jupiter, we tend to “think big.” We also are more inclined to look at the “bigger picture.” Psychologically, we don’t want to be confined or hemmed in any way now. We also tend to have more faith that things will “work out,” as long as we hold on to the dream.

Astrology refers to Jupiter as the “planet of luck” or “abundance.” It does, too, often seem to correlate with prosperity or an “easing” of circumstances. Traditionally, Jupiter has been described as having a more “protective” quality to it. Jupiter is also linked with faith, optimism (“can do spirit”), and our own sense of humor. Too, a case could be made that when we are more optimistic and positive (Jupiter), we often attract more positive things to us i.e. the “law of attraction.”

So, with Sun-Jupiter today, we should do things that help to broaden our scope of influence and make us feel that we are growing versus stagnating. It’s definitely a time to “get out of our comfort zone” (referring to the John Maxwell quote above) and do something “grand.” (Jupiter). This Sun-Jupiter conjunction is also occurring in “initiating” Aries, the adventurous sign of “new beginnings.”

Fascinatingly, a quick peak back into history also shows that the very last time the Sun and Jupiter had their meetup in pioneering Aries, “Nunavut,” an Inuit homeland, was created from the eastern portion of the Northwest Territories to become Canada’s third territory (April 1, 1999). So, Canada literally “grew” in scope with Sun conjunct Jupiter. Isn’t that cool? Also back on that date, both the Sun and Jupiter were exactly trine to transforming Pluto in visionary Sagittarius (ruled by Jupiter), which was also a good time to symbolically “restructure” (Pluto) things.

The “shadow side” of Sun-Jupiter: We need to be careful that we are not too wasteful or extravagant with our resources. That we don’t “over-commit” or “over-promise.” We also need to guard against “over-indulgence.”

Some famous people born with Sun conjunct Jupiter: Mick Jagger, Woody Allen, Garth Brooks, and Anais Nin.

Astrology March 15, 2011: “Keep Hope Alive” Mercury conjunct Jupiter

COSMIC WEATHER:

“In all things, it is better to hope than despair.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Of course, with so much sadness and tragedy going on in the world around us now, it is much harder for many of us to feel very hopeful. Too, our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Japan. They have already gone through so much.

Ironically, we have mental Mercury, ruler of our thoughts, exactly aligned with optimistic, philosophical Jupiter (9:27 pm EDT) today. Mercury conjunct Jupiter is all about “keeping hope alive” and imagining wondrous possibilities, even when things seems bleak. With expansive Jupiter, we naturally tend to focus on the “bigger picture.” We attempt to connect all the dots.

The Moon also shifts from sensitive Cancer to self-expressive Leo (3:34 pm EDT), forming a powerful trine to electrifying change-agent Uranus in Aries (3:56 pm EST). Moon-Uranus could elevate our emotions and also our self-esteem (Aries). Maybe it will also bring about some positive, sudden breakthroughs (Uranus) or even miracles for those in need.

“Those who wish to sing, always finds a song.” Proverb quote.

Astrology February 16, 2011: Leo Moon “Big Hair Day”

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Ego has a voracious appetite. The more you feed it, the hungrier it gets.” Nathaniel Bronner Jr.

The nocturnal Moon shifts from nesting Cancer to big hair Leo (4:15 am). We long to hear the sound of applause and are eager to graciously take our bows on stage. The entertaining Leo Moon always desires a good measure of ego-stroking and self-glorification and is willing to “sing for its supper” in order to realize these things. Leo is the zodiacal sign that rules our talent and gifts.

The Moon’s dynamic trine to fortuitous Jupiter in new beginnings Aries (12:31 pm) also ideally helps to boost our creativity and optimism. Doors could suddenly open up for us with this aspect. We may want to maximize our exposure then and plant hopeful seeds of golden Leo opportunity.

We may, however, want to guard against being too controlling and dark when the Moon forms a funky quincunx to despot Pluto (3:28 pm). Too, we still have the volatile Sun conjunct Mars aspect which can unleash our aggressive urge. On the plus side, though, this same aspect can make us courageous.

“He who angers you conquers you.” – Elizabeth Kenny

“Nothing that I can do will change the structure of the universe. But maybe, by raising my voice I can help the greatest of all causes – goodwill among men and peace on earth.” Albert Einstein

COSMIC WEATHER:

Our mental outlook brightens. A warm ray of sunshine permeates our thoughts. This is because thinker Mercury is aligned (via the sextile aspect) with benevolent, optimistic Jupiter. A wonderful day to spread around some goodwill, or to serve up fab words of encouragement. We may also want to read books on philosophy or religion.  Or, make travel arrangements. Jupiter’s ray impinging upon us inclines us to want to broaden our horizons, literally and symbolically. Too, Mercury-Jupiter can make us a bit more chatty. This same aspect also enables us to be able to see more of the humor in situations.

The goddess Moon is additionally still sequestered in mystical, compassionate, “Why can’t we all just get along?” Pisces. Meditation and going within replenishes us now.

“What this world needs is a new kind of army – the army of the kind.” Cleveland Amory

Patricia’s Astrology February 1, 2011: “Avoid Rash Action” Daily Horoscope

“Perhaps there is only one cardinal sin: impatience. Because of impatience we were driven out of Paradise, because of impatience we cannot return.” W.H. Auden

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Moon wraps up her monthly stay in dutiful Capricorn with a conjunction to communicator Mercury (11:42 am EST). An excellent aspect for serious, practical discussions. If we need to consult with professional experts for any reason, this would be a good time to do so. Later, the Moon’s sextile to intuitive Uranus (2:32 pm EST) can give us sudden insight into handling previously stalemated situations, especially on the career or business fronts.

The Moon closes out her day in non-conforming Aquarius (6:21 pm EST), sextiling benevolent Jupiter (10:12 pm EST). This aspect helps to stoke our generosity and imbues us with a sense of optimism. We may want to make travel plans, or read about other cultures at this time.

One note of caution: Impulsive Mars is forming a challenging aspect (semi-square) to unpredictable, rules breaker Uranus today. Whenever these two planets align, we are well-advised to avoid taking rash action, or acting too defiantly. Too, we still have the restless Sun-Mars conjunction in Aquarius, which can serve to accentuate this influence.

“Choices are the hinges of destiny.” Pythagoras
