Cosmic Weather:

“The time we lose is not in overdoing what we are about, but in doing nothing.” William Hazlitt

With fun-loving Venus in boundaryless Pisces forming a square to over-sizing Jupiter in enthusiastic Sagittarius today, it’s easy to get swept away in the current of whatever it is that we’re pursuing for pleasure or enjoyment now (relationships/love/money/dreams/beliefs). Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing, by any means…

Of course, on the other hand, as many of us know, too much of a good thing can quickly morph into something that is ‘not-so-good’ for us, depending on what we’re doing or what’s at stake. In other words, it’s always wise to put things into their proper context.

Anyway, discerning when and where to draw that merry little line or distinction with respect to the parameters of our behavior, is, seemingly, part of our captivating cosmic assignment for this Monday, April 15th. Tax Day in the U.S. 

*All times EDT

Famous April 15 Birthdays: Leonardo da Vinci, Nikita Khrushchev, Elizabeth Montgomery, Emma Thompson

“Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen.” Leonardo da Vinci

On This Day in History: On April 15, 1912, the Titanic sank off the Newfoundland coast as the band played on. More than 1,500 people lost their lives in the world’s most tragic and infamous maritime tragedy.

Astrologically, in the sky that day, Neptune, the ruler of the sea, was in the water sign of Cancer and exactly square to the Lunar Nodes (NN in Aries, SN in Libra).

“In April, God speaks to us in the seas whose rhythmic murmuring fills our ears from a long way off. It was in April that the Titanic went down into the deep to lie like a slasher’s victim, bleeding the ‘debris field’ – its’ passengers personal possessions, the everyday things of every man and every woman – across the ocean’s floor.” Eugene Kennedy

Astrology November 9, 2014: Venus Squares Jupiter

“Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.” Mick Jagger

COSMIC WATCH:

When is “enough,” enough? Or, when might “more,” be better? Those two questions might be timely to ask ourselves, today, as “pleasure-loving” Venus forms a square to “abundant” Jupiter (3:41 pm EST). Classically, in astrology, Venus square Jupiter has been a configuration linked with over-indulgence, or going to excess. It is also an aspect associated with opulence and royalty. Of course, with Venus in “passionate” Scorpio, a placement which, ideally, connects us with our deepest stirrings or longings, and “expansive” Jupiter placed in “theatrical” Leo, perhaps deliberately engaging in a bit of extravagant, lavish, or “over-the-top” behavior, may actually be a fun, harmless, self-expressive diversion, now, for those of us who are so inclined.

The Moon is also in “variety-seeking” Gemini, today, so including a buffet of experiences on our plate, would also likely work out best for us, now.

Some celebs with Venus square Jupiter in their natal charts: Dolly Parton, Julia Child, Alice Cooper, Oral Roberts, Robert Redford, Tina Turner, Betty White.

Question for Today: What do you want more of in your life?

In the News: With decision-maker Mercury nearing the “anaretic” degree (or 29th degree) of Libra (ruling the courts and justice), President Obama nominates Loretta Lynch, a Harvard Law grad, for his Attorney General pick to replace Eric Holder. If confirmed by the Senate, Lynch would be the first black woman to lead the Justice Department.

Famous November 9 Birthdays: Eric Dane, Lou Ferrigno, Hedy Lamarr, Spiro Agnew

“In the United States today, we have more than our share of the nattering nabobs of negativism.” Spiro Agnew

Enjoy your Sunday!

Astrology June 24, 2011: Mercury Sesquiquadrate Vague Neptune

COSMIC WATCH:

“Confusion is a word we have invented for an order which is not understood.” Henry Miller

There are a few confusing or cryptic threads running through today’s cosmic forecast due to thinker Mercury in Cancer’s sesquiquadrate aspect to vague Neptune in “out to sea” Pisces. This is not a major influence, but nevertheless, it can create some misinterpretations or misjudgments, or communication snafus.

Basically, what we’re advised to do, as an antidote to this more ambiguous energy, is to simply clarify things as much as possible. In other words, give our tender brains a little gymnastics workout by asking questions or re-checking facts and figures, etc. This also sends a clear signal to the Universe that we are wise to its wicked shenanigans and that it best not mess with us. 🙂

Too, we have the impulsive Aries Moon chiming in here with a square to Mercury (1:30 pm EDT) which also suggests that we avoid making snap decisions on vital concerns, especially anything family or hearth-related, as remember, Mercury is in “there’s no place like home” Cancer. We also need to keep in mind that Mercury in Cancer has more of an emotional component to its style of thinking, so our feelings are more apt to permeate our thoughts now. We also tend to be more sensitive in our communications.

Later on, we do catch a lucky break with the Moon’s fun sextile to social, lovable Venus in cheery Gemini around mealtime (6:08 pm EDT), so we may want to cap off the workweek by going out to dinner with friends.Whenever Venus’s ray is kindly stoked, we have more of a desire for bonding and connecting. Venus rules our magical “power of attraction.” Venus is, however, also making a semi-square aspect to over-indulgent Jupiter in “jelly roll” Taurus (9:56 pm EDT), so we are urged to practice, at least, some measure of moderation.

“Be moderate in everything, including moderation.” Horace Porter

One more thing. If you’re a gardener, this is a great day to pull up weeds, as we have the Moon in a fire sign (Aries), along with a last quarter phase Moon, which means any weeds pulled now will take a while to grow back. This is because when the Moon is in its last quarter phase, there is a decline in energy, and a fire sign is also minus moisture. Also, a good day to mow the lawn for the same reason. Or, to get a haircut, if we do not want our hair to grow back fast.

Do you garden according to the Moon phases?

Enjoy your Friday!

Patricia’s Astrology February 6, 2011: “Karmic Rewards” Daily Horoscope

“The highest reward for a man’s toil is not what he gets for it but what he becomes by it.” John Ruskin

COSMIC WEATHER:

Hard work, persistence, and a willingness to apply ourselves may bring some “karmic rewards” our way today, as we have both the power-generating Sun and motivator Mars harmoniously trined to taskmaster Saturn, the planet traditionally billed as the “Lord of Karma.”

Saturn reigns supreme over our more serious accomplishments and endeavors in life. Saturn rules labor, goal-setting, and self-discipline. It denotes the structure and foundation in our lives. It’s the glue that holds everything together for us. It’s also the “guilt factor.” Today we can make excellent strides in stabilizing the things around us. Getting stuff “to stick.” Too, we may want to seek out the support of more “experienced” or “senior” persons, “our elders,” or “mentors,” all symbolically denoted by Saturn which also governs “practical wisdom” and “common sense.”

Additionally, with both the Sun and Mars trine Saturn in diplomatic Libra, it may be a very good time to “give peace a chance.” Also, it’s an excellent day for formulating succession plans. (Thought it was interesting, too, that on the eve of these Sun-Mars-Saturn aspects, the new U.S.-Russian “START treaty took effect. Mars rules weapons and defense issues. With Saturn, we are usually more willing to “restrain” or “curb” our “martian” aggressive impulses, although the Sun is still conjoined with fiery Mars, which is a potentially a more aggressive, volatile aspect.)

With that said, we also may need to: “Hold the fries. Forgo the extra helping of macaroni and cheese, or fried chicken. Refrain from having too much sex or alcohol” today (this could be painful for some of us, especially the fried chicken). The reason for this restrictive mandate is because we have “sweetheart” Venus exactly square to generous, “over-sizer” Jupiter. A major template for overindulgence in all things pleasurable, including love.

Famous Birthdays February 6th: Natalie Cole (61), Tom Brokaw (71), Zsa Zsa Gabor (94). We’re praying for you, Zsa Zsa.
