Today’s Astrology July 11, 2019: Mars Square Uranus

11 Thursday Jul 2019

Cosmic Weather:

The ever twinkling stars, today, suggest an ambitious/burgeoning tendency to want to “usher in the new” and “clear out the old” in very bold or flashy ways (Mars in Leo), especially incorporating whatever is perceived to be “cutting-edge” or “revolutionary” in nature (Uranus in Taurus); Mars-Uranus energy is historically associated with originality and inventiveness, including defying or disavowing the status quo.

However, on a cautionary note, before we fully commit to jumping aboard this beckoning, enticing starship now, we may want to first identify what it is that is already working out favorably for us – perhaps, for instance, identifying the foundational elements/values in our life that are worth preserving or holding on to – so we don’t have to come back later, and try to pencil them back in, thereby costing ourselves, dearly, in terms of our time and or energetic currency. Too, it is not always possible to reinstate elements of the past once the door has been shut.

We also likely come out a winner today by dialing back on those things that are deemed/considered to be cognitive distractions for us, that overload or tax our brains, and thereby cause us to become more careless or reckless in our dealings or interactions with our immediate environment. (Mars-Uranus energy already carries enough of a jolt on its own. We likely don’t need any extra stimulation now!)

The Waxing Moon is also still in its First Quarter and in the investigative sign of Scorpio, priming us to want to “get to the heart” of issues. Luna’s trine to the nurturing Cancer Sun, this afternoon (3:32 pm), is also potentially very positive for healing, especially for remedying relationships with family members.

“The way you help heal the world is you start with your own family.” Mother Teresa

Hope you enjoy your Thursday!

Astrology March 24, 2012: Sun Conjuncts Uranus

24 Saturday Mar 2012

COSMIC WATCH:

While we all have a need for certainty, we also crave variety. Today, it is likely that the latter will win out.  This is because the “empowering” Sun is conjunct “radical, individualistic” Uranus, the electrifying planet that is linked with change and liberation. This conjunction is occurring in “spontaneous” Aries.

What we may want to muse over today is, how dispensing with protocol or convention can end up being a very good thing for us? In other words, Sun-Uranus gives us some refreshing wiggle room to tear up that all-too-familiar internal script reverberating in many of our heads that says we must always conform or live up to other people’s expectations, or suffer dire consequences. Sun-Uranus encourages us to embrace and flaunt our own personal brand, no matter how quirky. This same planetary influence can also galvanize us into action on behalf of humanitarian causes. Uranus is linked with issues of equality.

“We are all born originals – why is it so many of us die copies?” Edward Young

What do you think prevents people from “doing their own thing?” What has been your own experience when you have not “played by the rules” or “dared to be different?”

Famous People With Sun Conjunct Uranus:  Charlie Sheen, Wayne Dyer, Walt Disney, Anjelica Huston, Sigmund Freud, Donald Trump, Meryl Streep, Clara Barton, Roy Orbison.

“I wasn’t satisfied just to earn a good living. I was looking to make a statement.” Donald Trump.

“You can’t process me with a normal brain.” Charlie Sheen

BTW, Orbison’s Pretty Woman was released in August of 1964 when communicator Mercury was conjunct Uranus in Virgo!

Enjoy your Saturday!

COSMIC WATCH:

We are wanting more change and movement around us, and our natural curiosity is ignited, as the Moon flits into inquiring Gemini (5:45 am EST). An early morning sextile to radical Uranus (7:36 am EST) can also help to shift our thinking so we are better able to unearth more original perspectives.

“It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.” Herman Melville

Famous People with Moon in Gemini: Jim Carey, Roseanne Barr, George Carlin, Jessica Simpson

Today’s Affirmation: I swim freely in an ocean of creativity. Whatever ideas I need, float effortlessly to the surface.

What questions could you ask today?

Astrology December 13 2011: Mercury Stations Direct

13 Tuesday Dec 2011

Posted by in Astrology December 2011

, , , , , , ,

COSMIC WATCH:

Our emotional outlook may be more serious, the first half of the day, with the sensitive Cancer Moon’s square to authoritative Saturn, in balancing Libra (11:06 am EST), an aspect in which we often face accountability for our actions. Since Moon-Saturn sometimes has a more limiting or inhibiting affect upon us, due to the narrowing vibration of Saturn, we may want to perhaps work on our breathing techniques with this influence. Or, use positive visualization as a way of helping us to stay fully centered and relaxed in the moment.

Later, the Moon’s entrance into proud, bold Leo the Lion (4:49 pm EST) sets the stage for us to really come alive and roar with creativity. Included here may be a tendency for some “over the top” behavior, as the Moon squares boastful Jupiter (5:57 pm EST) and also trines spontaneous, original Uranus (6:00 pm EST). Too, lovable Venus is making a favorable semi-sextile to the warming, life-giving Sun this afternoon (4:56 pm EST) encouraging us to make some heart-felt connections.

Finally, Mercury, the planet of communication and travel, is stationing direct at three degrees of inspired Sagittarius (8:43 pm EST) after a three-week retrograde period. This gives us the green light to start proceeding with our plans and ideas again after we have, hopefully, used the last twenty-one days for some pause and reflection. However, we will want to wait a couple days to allow Mercury to pick up some speed. (Mercury will be out of its shadow period on January 1, the degree that it originally assumed retrograde motion.) Too, we will want to pay attention to the house in our charts that Mercury is stationing direct in as that is the specific area of life in which we may see some forward momentum now.

“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” Walt Disney

Today’s Affirmation:  I am at peace with my past and eager to journey onward.

What are you excited about today?

Astrology December 8, 2011: Sun Aligns With Jupiter

08 Thursday Dec 2011

COSMIC WATCH:

The Sun in zealous Sagittarius is forming a frictional 135-degree linkup to exaggerating Jupiter in bullish Taurus. We are cautioned not to go overboard with our resources today. Or, get too caught up in the realm of grandiose thinking. Since the practical Taurus Moon is also making a square to fantasy Neptune (6:40 pm EST) we can make our lives much less complicated by sticking mainly with the facts of matters and discounting innuendo or rumors. It is also wise to hold ourselves accountable now instead of trying to escape our circumstances.

Fortunately, later, the Moon’s shift into thinker Gemini (9:54 pm EST), and an awakening Moon-Uranus sextile (11:10 pm EST), supplies us with all the keen cerebral insight and originality we need to cleverly solve our problems and heroically close out the day. Moon-Uranus perennially serves to align us with our inner genius. This is also a good time to deal with technology matters. Or maybe even try our hand at invention.

“All perceiving is also thinking, all reasoning is also intuition, all observation is also invention.” Rudolph Arnheim

Famous People with Moon Sextile Uranus: Dick Cheney, Prince Charles.

Today’s Affirmation: My thoughts are grounded and I can see my way clearly.

Enjoy your Thursday!

COSMIC WATCH:

“There are two kinds of sparks, the one that goes off with a hitch like a match, but it burns quickly. The other is the kind that needs time, but when that flame strikes… it’s eternal, don’t forget that.” Timothy Oliveira

Affectionate Venus in adaptable Gemini forms an anchoring trine to protective Saturn in partnership Libra, helping to firm up and solidify our romantic and business relationships. We are able to deal more maturely and responsibly with respect to our relationship matters now, and also are more receptive to the idea of long-term commitment. This is also an excellent day to establish healthy relationship boundaries.

The Moon also shifts from conservative Capricorn to futuristic Aquarius (7:47 am EDT) putting us in more of an inquisitive state of mind. Intellectual Mercury in impressionable Cancer is also forming an exact square to change-agent Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius, deposited in pioneering Aries. We may find that new information is coming at us fast and furious now and we may need some extra time to digest everything. Too, Mercury-Uranus can make our nerves a little more jittery as Uranus has more of a high-strung quality to it and Mercury rules the nervous system. With that said, we are also potentially more capable of flashes of brilliance and originality today as Uranus govern both genius and intuition.

Do you think you are intuitive? How about brilliant? Had any bright ideas this past week?

“If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull.” W.C. Fields 🙂

In The News: On the eve of Mercury exactly square Uranus today, United Airlines reportedly grounded all inbound and outbound flights on Friday night for a while due to a computer problem. United airlines passengers were said to have been stranded at airports for at least five hours.  Unfortunately, on the shadow side, Mercury-Uranus has a legacy of disrupting (Uranus) communications (Mercury). Uranus also governs both the aviation industry and computers. Mercury rules travel.

Enjoy your Saturday! Hope you have some “aha” moments, but no flight delays or computer glitches. 🙂

COSMIC WATCH:

“A bend in the road is not the end of the road, unless you fail to make the turn.” Author unknown

A few roadblocks or detours could be put in our path today with go-getter Mars (the accelerator pedal) and obstructionist Saturn (the brakes) meeting up via the quinqunx aspect. Sometimes this 150-degree “adjustment” influence also has us dealing with, or having to resolve, issues from our past (Saturn). Of course, a temporary cessation of forward motion, while sometimes aggravating, is not necessarily a bad thing, as it often gives us a chance to catch our breath.

Too, the Universe is sending us some helpful roadside assistance in the guise of the Sun’s opportunity sextile to innovative Uranus. Sun-Uranus is an empowering influence (Sun) for trying new approaches (Uranus) to old problems (Saturn). Hi-tech Uranus can provide us with sudden, bright ideas to help get us unstuck (Uranus governs our intuition). It is also a great influence for cultivating our own originality.

Astrology April 5, 2011: Moon in Sensual Taurus, Sextile Resolver Pluto

COSMIC WEATHER:

“I sometimes wonder whether all pleasures are not substitutes for joy.” C. S. Lewis

Interesting astrological fact: Mick Jagger and Bill Clinton are both proud Leo Suns, with their Moons in earthy, sensual Taurus. See any similarity between the two of them in terms of their personality and behavior? Remember Bill’s saxophone performance on the Arsenio Hall Show several years ago? Any shades of Mick there? 🙂

Well, the “night owl” Moon is back in Venus-ruled Taurus today, so this is a time when we may want to indulge our senses and pamper ourselves. The Taurus Moon is fond of “hedonistic” pleasures. At the same time, it is also practical and resourceful. (Taurus rules money and possessions.)

The Moon also trines “problem-solving” Pluto (10:48 am EDT), so it appears that there is very little that we cannot do today, if we but only put our minds to it and also stay cooperative (sometimes with Pluto, we try to “run the show”). Too, we still have Mick’s “start-me-up” Aries energy beaming down upon us (Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus in Aries).

Later on, the “sweet” Taurus Moon forms a sexy sextile to relationship Venus (7:03 pm EDT). Definitely a time when we will want to be making a “love connection.” Power of attraction Venus helps us attract the “reality we desire.”

Famous Birthdays April 5: Colin Powell (74), late Betty Davis (103). BTW, Betty had her pioneering Aries Sun exactly square to her natal Uranus in professional Capricorn, helping to make her a “one of a kind” original.

In the News: With the Moon in “money-minded” Taurus trining “purging” Pluto, U.S. House Republicans today proposed a budget for the next fiscal year that would reportedly spend $3.53 trillion, $179 billion dollars less then the plan put forth by President Obama. It would also supposedly balance the budget by 2015. (WSJ.com) “Bulldozing” Pluto in action? Too, Pluto tends towards “extremism.”

COSMIC WEATHER:

“It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.” Herman Melville

The “grounded” Taurus Moon implores us to be practical today. However, mental Mercury’s conjunction with erratic, non-conforming Uranus in dreamy Pisces (11:06 am EST) may also have our heads spinning with “original” or more “off the wall” ideas (Uranus). Of course, the combination of these two forces could pose a bit of a dilemma for us, unless we find a satisfactory way to integrate both of these energies. Overall, probably a good day to profile or express our uniqueness, while simultaneously attempting to think outside of the proverbial box. Too, we don’t need to necessarily act on any new ideas or insights that we may get at this time.

Uranus, as the higher octave of Mercury, also rules our intuition. So with Mercury-Uranus, we are potentially better able to channel our intuitive awareness now, with answers and information seemingly coming to us “out of the blue.”

Communicator Mercury, governing our conscious thinking, also descends into fiery Aries today (12:47 pm EST) where it will stay until mid-May. In Aries, Mercury is decisive and fast to act on its ideas, often acting before thinking.  Mercury here can also be competitive, and usually has more of an affinity for debating, as well as for arguing.

Too, if we normally struggle to express ourselves through speech or words, we may find that Mercury’s placement here is a boon for our self-expression, endowing us with greater self-confidence and daring. Also, if we have been “stuck” in our patterns of thinking, it could be Mercury through Aries, can help us to see and or adopt new points of view. On the shadow side, we do need to avoid, however, being overly impatient and headstrong in our thoughts and attitudes now. Aries, as the first sign of the zodiac, tends to be more self-centered, with the keywords for Aries being, “I Am.”

Mercury joins expansive Jupiter in Aries and on Friday, change-agent Uranus will also move into Aries, where it will reside for the next 7 years. The Universe is magically aligning for us to take very exciting action (Aries) in our lives in the coming weeks and months ahead!

Patrice Astrology: Mercury, Mars, Neptune Triple Conjunction February 20, 2011

COSMIC WEATHER:

“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.” Michelangelo

We have a potent triple conjunction of Mercury (thoughts), Mars (motivator), and Neptune (fantasy) in “innovative” Aquarius, which is also the sign that rules groups and group behavior. Creative types and original thinkers will likely thrive today, as Neptune rules the imagination, artistic or musical expression, and Mercury and Mars can help to fire these things up. Aquarius energy can also aid to kindle our originality and genius, and give us the courage and wherewithal to view our lives and options in exciting new ways.

Additionally, this triple grouping of the planets can be a very spiritual time when we feel more of a “link with the divine,” as Neptune rules our “urge for spirituality.” Meditation, prayer, engaging in random acts of kindness, or perhaps visiting those who are ill or infirm, or otherwise confined, would be some great ways of using this energy in its most sublime manner. Again, with this conjunction occurring in group-oriented Aquarius, aligning ourselves with groups or organizations that do good works for the collective, would be ideal. Too, lest we forget, Neptune’s mantra is: “Serve or suffer.”

On the shadow side with this influence, there is potentially more of a tendency for “misplaced aggression.”  This is because the aggressive urge, ruled by Mars, has a potential for being “disguised” with its alignment with “masquerading” or “deceptive” Neptune. Historically, Mars-Neptune has also been associated with martyrdom and persecution, and taking advantage of those who are weaker or do not often seem to have a voice in their own affairs, like the downtrodden or disenfranchised groups.

We would probably all be well-advised to pay closer attention to the particular impulses that are “driving” our behavior and decisions now, and steer clear of acting on any irrational or self-aggrandizing ideas that do not propel us upward, to a better place in our head. Neptune’s ray unchecked can arouse paranoia or strange fears from seemingly out of nowhere. Once we detach and calmly study the irrationality of these things, however, we can simply release them and let them go, without acting upon them. Or we can transmute them into higher, creative expression, that serves to elevate or free us.

“There is much in the world to make us afraid. There is much more in our faith to make us unafraid.” Frederick W. Cropp.
