Cosmic Weather:

“The causes of every human action, Tolstoy thought, were so manifold, so complex, and so deeply hidden in unconscious motivations that it is impossible to know why anything ever happened.” Mortimer J. Adler and Charles Van Doren

There’s a Full Moon in transformational Scorpio, this morning (at 6:45 am). It’s also the last Supermoon of 2020 (the other two were in March and April). Meaning that it’s occurring at the closest point to Earth during its orbit, making it appear larger and brighter.

Today’s Full Moon is also referred to in the Old Farmer’s Almanac as the “Full Flower Moon,” a name that originated with the Native Americans. Obviously echoing Mother Nature’s return to abundance in the Northern hemisphere when so much is abloom and full of life.

With today’s lunation, we are basically seeking to balance our need for physical comfort, safety, and security (Sun in Taurus) with an opposing desire for fulfillment or renewal in the spiritual/non-physical/inner realm (Moon in Scorpio). Whenever Luna is deposited in Pluto-ruled Scorpio (the sign of life, death, and rebirth), we are made more keenly aware of the profound mysteries of our existence, with Scorpio intently focusing on what’s hidden or below the surface.

So having a powerful, revelatory Full Moon occurring in Scorpio now we potentially have, among other things, a very potent opportunity for ferreting out the truth, as we know it or understand it. Especially since this Full Moon is forming an opposition to information-minded Mercury, which only three days ago formed an exact superior conjunction with the Sun. Normally a time (again) when we are presented with clear data or findings or experience sudden epiphanies. It could also be that today’s Full Moon opposition to that same Mercury-Sun meetup point takes those discoveries or results, one step further. Too, generally with a culminating Full Moon, we can have abrupt endings or receive final outcomes or are able to come to some pretty accurate conclusions or assessments about various elements of our lives, including possibly getting a good handle now on how we are coming along with the intentions that we may have set, or the actions that were taken, during the New Moon in Taurus, two weeks ago. 

Additionally, the Full Moon in passionate Scorpio may find our emotions at peak intensity, especially since Scorpio is a fixed water sign which tends to always feel things very deeply. There can also be more of an emphasis now on such issues as intimacy and trust, shared resources, and purging or refurbishing.

Also today, mental Mercury, in pragmatic Taurus, is forming a sextile to mystical Neptune in Pisces. This more subtle influence may help to bring our dreams into sharper focus. It can also supply us with a greater ability to express on an intellectual level what we are sensing more intuitively. Accordingly, today might also be a fun time to throw a few Tarot cards and see what comes up for us. It’s also an excellent time to investigate our nocturnal dreams. We may be experiencing more vivid dreams than usual now.

*All times EDT.

Happy Full Moon Blessings! Hope it’s a good one! Be safe and well.

Astrology February 14, 2020: The Moon’s in Deep Scorpio

Cosmic Weather:

“Friends don’t spy; true friendship is about privacy, too.” Stephen King

With Luna fully submerged in secretive Scorpio all day, we should be cosmically cleared to “claim the fifth” now without invoking too much pushback from the gods. 🙂

This is also a good day for coming to deeper intellectual realizations about what’s perhaps fueling some of our passions or desires or driving our emotions (Moon trine Mercury). Too, indulging in this sort of inner reflection could potentially trigger within us a sense of growing optimism about the future (Moon sextile Jupiter) and hopefully confirming for us that, yes, we’re on the right track!

Another benefit of the Moon-Jupiter meetup (at 11:52 pm) is that it can add a nice degree of emotional warmth/emotional acceptance to our persona, ideally helping us to confidently connect or mingle with others in a positive, more supportive way.

*All times EST.

Tarot Card For The Day: The Emperor, which fits in nicely with the more controlling or authoritative Scorpio Moon archetype. The Emperor card suggests that “we’ve got this,” that we’re ready to show the world that we’re in charge now and able to deftly whip out our ‘A’ game, if need be.

Today’s Numerology for February 14: There’s a quirky (Aquarian), restless (Mercury) vibe to 2-14 which can manifest in intellectual brilliance or sarcastic wit. Also, there’s more of a desire for personal freedom yet also the ability to be part of a progressive team.

This Day in History: On February 14, 1747, astronomer James Bradley presented his discovery of the wobbling motion of the Earth on its axis to the Royal Society in London.

In the heavens that day, communicator Mercury was conjunct breakthrough Uranus in innovative Aquarius (also the zodiacal sign which rules science and astronomy). Both planets were also square to pioneering Mars in investigative Scorpio.

Born On This Day: Frederick Douglass, in 1818 (d. 1895) an African American abolitionist, lecturer, and editor who was also an escaped slave. Douglass once wrote: If there is no struggle, there is no progress.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope it’s a good one!

Astrology January 26, 2020: Venus Squares Mars – Yin Versus Yang Energy

Cosmic Weather:

“Peace is not an easy prospect–it requires greater bravery than does conflict.” Ozzie Zehner

With Venus (desires) and Mars (actions) “squaring off” with each other today, it may be more of a challenge now to “lasso-in” what we want without creating some sort of potential conflict for ourselves. It could be, perhaps, that our timing is off. Or, that we’re simply pushing too hard (applying too much “yang” energy) and maybe just need to back off (assume a receptive “yin” stance). In traditional astrology, Venus square Mars is often depicted as the “Battle of the Sexes.”

Mars in Sagittarius, too, can make us more prone to “venting our beliefs,” which could naturally invite some pushback from others, depending, in part, on how we choose to conduct or express ourselves. Sometimes, how we say something is also even more important than what we say.

In the relationship sphere, too, being more cooperative might be a positive way to “save the day,” in the event that we hit upon a few snags. Especially with Venus in dreamy Pisces now, which is always searching for “ideal” or “unconditional” love and is not too thrilled with confrontation.

At any rate, the Venus-Mars square can greatly invoke our passions and desires, making us feel very vital (and sexy). It can also galvanize our creative juices. 

Meanwhile, the waxing Moon is also wrapping up her stay in “individualistic” Aquarius today, shifting into “transcendental” Pisces, early this evening. Ideally, this helps us to disengage our galactic-sized egos a tad, so we can hopefully play nice with each other – at least for a while!

(Venus in Pisces squares Mars in Sagittarius, at 8:36 pm)

(Moon enters Pisces, at 6:44 pm)

*All times EST.

Tarot Card For The Day: “The Star” card, which suggests that there’s a ray of hope on the horizon after a period of turmoil. Inwardly, we may also be feeling more self-confident and more at ease just being ourselves now. The “Six of Wands” card also fell out of the deck twice, while I was shuffling, signifying that we may possibly be honored for our past efforts now. This recognition may also motivate us to want to do more of the same, in the future. It’s always interesting to observe, too, how one thing (one action), often leads to another. And yet another. How we’re always, seemingly, peeling back more layers of the proverbial onion, which also, quite perplexingly, never seems to shrink in size! 🙂

“The applause was so loud and insistent that I had to respond with several encores. I was numb with happiness, when it was over, I knew that this alone must be my life and my world.” Leni Riefenstahl

Born On This Day: Comedian Ellen DeGeneres, who’s turning 62 today. Ellen’s quoted as saying: Procrastinate now, don’t put it off. 

Hope it’s a good one!

December 13, 2019: Mars Trine Neptune, Venus Conjunct Pluto

13 Friday Dec 2019

Cosmic Weather:

Mars in Scorpio trines Neptune in Pisces (6:54 am): This waning trine aspect suggests we have the wherewithal, creativity, and inspiration to strategically pursue our dreams and visions in such a way that also helps to release or alleviate the stranglehold of the past. This is very nice energy for transformation or rebirth, and also for unification, as prior barriers or boundaries seemingly become more porous now.

On the other hand, we also have Venus conjunct Pluto in Capricorn (10:16 am). This is a very emotionally intense aspect that can notably arouse our feelings, passions, and desires. Not only can this make us feel things very deeply, but we can also be very single-minded in pursuing our goals now, especially in the realm of relationships or perhaps concerning our career. Because we are so focused on what we want now it may actually help us to manifest our agendas, particularly if we are careful not to overstep our boundaries. On the shadow side, more challenging Venus-Pluto aspects can incline us to operate in a more manipulative or calculating manner.

After yesterday’s Full Moon in “busy, breezy, overthinking” it Gemini, which may have gotten a lot of us “stirred up,” we now end our Friday the 13th with Luna deposited in her ruling sign of Cancer the Crab, putting self-care back into the spotlight. The Moon will remain in home-loving, family-oriented Cancer for the next couple of days.

*All times EST.

Today’s Astrology August 12, 2019: Moon’s in Reality-Centered Capricorn

12 Monday Aug 2019

Cosmic Weather:

“The most confused you will ever get is when you try to convince your heart and spirit of something your mind knows is a lie.” Shannon L. Adler

Oh, boy! We get to start out our Monday with the waxing Moon in “keeping it real” Capricorn, the sign ruled by judgemental Saturn. Meaning, it’s also report card time when we formally have a chance to grade ourselves on our scintillating, academy award-winning performances (Sun in Leo), as of late, and decide whether or not they’re taking us to where we want to go, or need to be. Capricorn’s all about “less fluff, and more stuff!”

Thankfully, too, since we’re all presumably adults here, it’s not required that we actually have to show our report cards to our spouses, mates, friends, neighbors, etc. unless it’s something that we willingly want to do (most likely for bragging rights, of course, if we’ve been doing a good job).

Generally, when the transiting Moon’s in earthy Capricorn, we crave the security of organization and tried-and-true structure around us. We also tend to take greater pride in our work and reputation and are more inclined now to seek out recognition (and well-deserved pay raises!) for our mighty efforts.

The Capricorn Moon will also be having its notable, monthly meetup with “power broker” Pluto, this evening (6:11 pm). This more intense emotional energy normally predisposes us to go after our desires with increased gusto, passion, focus or purpose. It also potentially has a strong healing or transmutational vibe to it. On the shadow side, it can coincide with overly assertive power plays or manipulative behavior. Moon-Pluto is nearly always a perfect time to do de-weeding, to take out the trash, recycle or renovate, perform archeological digs, do channeling, investigate, have psychotherapy, take or review X-rays (part of checking what is hidden below).

Numerologically, today (8-12-2019) reduces down to both a “3” and a “5”. The “3” aspect suggests some reverence for traditionalism or history; it can also incline us to want to ambitiously climb to the top of the totem pole! The “5” element injects an impulsive quality to the day, and a changeability.

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On August 12, 1972, the last American combat troops leave Vietnam.

Astrologically, that day, Mars (ruling war and the military) was at 29 degrees of dominant Leo (a critical degree) and exactly forming a waning trine to philosophical, politically-oriented Jupiter Rx at 29 degrees of Sagittarius (the sign which rules foreign lands and cultures). The Mars-Jupiter waning trine also perhaps allowing us then to more broadly see or grasp the “bigger picture” view/outcome/result (Jupiter Rx) of our “militaristic actions” (Mars) in Vietnam. Pluto, representing shifts in power, was also newly-installed in diplomatic, peace-seeking Libra then, at 0 degrees of the sign.

“Television brought the brutality of war into the comfort of the living room. Vietnam was lost in the living rooms of America — not on the battlefields of Vietnam.” Marshall McLuhan

Hope it’s a good one!

Today’s Astrology June 2, 2019: Venus Trines Pluto

02 Sunday Jun 2019

Cosmic Weather:

(Venus in Taurus trines Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn)

Today’s insightful Venus-Pluto trine (11:41 pm) potentially serves to make us more aware of what it is that we genuinely value or desire in our lives. It is as if the layers are peeled back now and we are able to see what we must have – or what is non-negotiable for us – in order to feel an internal/external sense of richness/safety/security. Correspondingly, there may also be a greater focus on solidifying, strengthening, or deepening our roots/connections/attachments.

Additionally, Venus-Pluto can also ignite our passions as well as unleash or invite more healing forms of energy. Venus-Pluto is often associated with “breathing new life” into old relationships. It might also be a good time to get our finances in order, or to commune with nature.

(Balsamic Moon)

The Waning Moon is in its Balsamic (Dark) Phase, entering communicative Gemini (at 7:47 am). This Lunar period is best for wrapping up or finishing things, and for rest or renewal, in preparation for tomorrow’s New Moon in Gemini.

“Rest and be thankful.” William Wordsworth

*All times EDT

Question for Today: What is something that you are “non-negotiable” about?

Famous June 2 Birthdays: Marquis de Sade, Johnny Weissmuller, Charlie Watts, Kyle Petty, Rachel Ray, Dana Garvey

“Conversation, like certain portions of the anatomy, always runs more smoothly when lubricated.” Marquis de Sade

On This Day in History: On June 2, 1875, Alexander Graham Bell (b. March 3, 1847) makes the first sound transmission. (Bell was a Scottish-born scientist, inventor, engineer, and innovator who is credited with inventing and patenting the first practical telephone. He also founded the American Telephone and Telegraph Company in 1885.)

Astrologically, on June 2, 1875, the Sun was in “communications-guru” Gemini, at 11 degrees, and exactly sextiling inventive Uranus, at 11 degrees of creative, authoritative Leo. Pioneering Mars was also retrograde in Capricorn and in a tight opposition (within one degree) to Mercury in Cancer (Mercury rules telephones and communication and the sign of Gemini).

Meanwhile, energizing Mars was also transiting Graham’s 10th house of career (on June 2nd), and also sextile (within one degree) his natal Saturn (Saturn is not only the natural ruler of the tenth house, it can also represent our individual accomplishments/contributions to the culture).

Finally, Mercury in Cancer at 4 degrees was also exactly trining Bell’s Saturn at 4 degrees of imaginative Pisces. Mercury-Saturn energy can solidify or be foundational for communications. It also can symbolize scientific breakthroughs and enhanced powers of concentration.

“Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work in hand. The Sun’s rays do not burn until brought to a focus.”  Alexander Graham Bell

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive.” Howard Thurman

COSMIC WEATHER:

Connection queen Venus, symbolizing the urge for love and beauty in our lives, is conjunct Pluto in Capricorn on Feb. 22 (at 10:49 pm EST). With this aspect, relationships can potently transform us now. We may also have more of a need for intense emotional experiences. What has been buried and hidden in our subconscious (Pluto), our deepest desires and feelings, could also rise to the surface now. Too, Venus-Pluto can, on occasion, bring us our “soul mates,” or important alliances from our past. Even new, short-term relationships are more likely to impact us now on a deeper emotional level. On the shadow side, because Pluto also symbolizes our urge for power and control, this energy sometimes finds us acting manipulatively or being too possessive, especially if we feel that our relationships are being threatened or undermined in any way.

On a professional level, this influence can also be excellent for networking as we are likely to be much more persuasive.

Enjoy your day!

“We are all butterflies. Earth is our chrysalis.” LeeAnn Taylor

Cosmic Weather: The Sun, symbolizing our Spirit and Life Force, aligns harmoniously with transforming Pluto (2:21 pm EDT). Our “inner alchemist” emerges on the scene. We’re clearing away all the debris and cobwebs now. Able to see what’s really there, in the mysterious depths of our being. Ideally, we’re also transmuting old fears and hurts into breakthroughs and possibilities. We’re taking back our power! Arising from the ashes like the Phoenix bird! Sun-Pluto energy supports any kind of rehabilitative or refurbishing projects, purge or detox efforts, investigation, solving mysteries, and research. Strong, more complex emotions rise to the surface.

In the News: President Trump fires James Comey as FBI Director (a Pluto-ruled position).

This Date in History: On May 9, 1914, US President Woodrow Wilson proclaims Mother’s Day.

Astrology for January 31, 2016: Mercury Squares Uranus

31 Sunday Jan 2016

“It is a narrow mind which cannot look at a subject from various points of view.” George Eliot

Moon, Dream, Fantasy, Surreal, Night

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Moon in intense Scorpio today inspires us to seek out more passionate experiences that fully engage our emotions or senses. A flowing trine to “spiritual” Neptune (3:58 pm) also potentially enhances our empathy and psychic sensitivity. Too, an agreeable sextile to “collaborative” Venus (7:08 pm) works to stimulate our social, romantic, or artistic side. This might be a wonderful afternoon or evening for an outing to an art gallery, or to the theater. Or, to be involved in healing projects. The Moon is also in its Last Quarter phase, late tonight (at 10:28 pm). This could generate more of an impetus within us to sort out what’s working and what’s not, in preparation for the upcoming New Moon, next week

Intellectual Mercury is also forming a square to “restless” Uranus, tonight (10:41 pm). This dynamic and inventive energy can open our eyes to alternate ways of looking at issues. It can also trigger sudden inspirations or “light-bulb” moments in which we finally “get something” even if the matter has been explained to us several times before. On the shadow side, Mercury square Uranus can sometimes be a bit disruptive for us mentally. For instance, we are perhaps more apt to blurt out stuff now without really thinking about the consequences of our speech. Still, often embedded in the seeming disruption of a Mercury-Uranus transit is a hidden opportunity for us to get unstuck, as we temporarily feel less wedded to convention, or the “status quo.”

This Date in History: On January 31, 1865, Congress passes 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery in America (121-24). 

On January 31, 1876, the United States orders all Native Americans to move into reservations.

Astrology October 24, 2014: Moon Continues in “Passionate” Scorpio

“Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.” James Joyce

COSMIC WATCH:

Recent studies show that when we have a passion for an activity, be it a sport or a hobby, we will not only engage in that activity on a regular basis – and perceive that outlet as something that we highly value – the activity will also become an inherent part of how we define our self.

Also, when we have what is described as a “harmonious passion” for something, we are more likely to be able to regulate this passion, internally, and hence, add to our feeling of well-being, which can positively impact other areas of our life. Too, a flip side here: when we have an “obsessive passion,” or a passion that starts to control us, then any positivity that we may get from engaging in this activity, tends to quickly evaporate – and this passion can actually end up creating “ill-being,” and interfere with our other life activities.

I mention this here today because we are still very much in the range of the “bull’s-eye” of yesterday’s “intense” Scorpio Eclipse, the astrological sign that is the prototype or template for “passion.” It is in fixed, water-sign Scorpio where our emotions can quickly morph into, seemingly, almost an almighty, indomitable force – for good or bad – and, right along with this, our passions. Especially, our romantic passions! And, perhaps, especially now, with Venus, the Goddess of Love, also swimming through the seductive waters of Scorpio, alongside the Sun.

The Moon remains in Scorpio, all day, today, and becomes especially REVVED UP, this afternoon (2:16 pm EDT), when it sextiles “regenerative, redemptive” Pluto, the modern-day Ruler of Scorpio. Moon-Pluto aspects often show us how to resuscitate something; how to breathe life back into what was once, perhaps, perceived of as dead, bust, or simply a lost cause. Moon-Pluto can be very healing, at its best. Also, this type of energy can help us to locate lost, hidden, buried, or missing items. It is thought to be excellent for any kind of investigative work – including espionage or spying! Maybe we need to retrieve the binoculars and that old sixties trench coat from storage! 🙂

Question for Today: What are you most passionate about and how does that passion affect your everyday life?

Famous October 24 Birthdays: Kevin Kline, David Nelson, Bill Wyman, Scott Peterson
