COSMIC WEATHER:

The Feminine Moon continues in Maternal Cancer emphasizing our nurturing instincts. The Moon is also lovingly supported here by Relationship Venus conjoined the Empowering Sun in Healing Scorpio. With Venus-Sun, we have perfect, soothing energy for forging intimate connections with others. Our creativity is also elevated.

Venus, too, represents “things of beauty.” With Venus-Sun, we have more of a desire to be surrounded by beautiful objects. Therefore, it’s a good day to go shopping for items of personal adornment (clothes, jewelry, perfume) or for decorative accessories to jewel the home front, especially with the Moon now in Domestic Diva Cancer.  Too, with Venus and the Sun deposited in transitioning Scorpio, it may be a time when we can snatch some treasures at estate sales or consignment shops.

Meanwhile, Energy planet Mars, representing our will and self-assertion, leaves Intense Scorpio for Visionary Sagittarius (2:48 am EDT), where it is in search of wisdom and higher knowledge. Mars in Sagittarius has a deep need for learning, and also an equal desire to don the soapbox and speak out on the issues of the day. With Mars in Sagittarius, we will want to passionately begin rallying behind the causes we believe in, and not be afraid to state our personal views and opinions. (Mars will be in Sagittarius until December 7th.)

Interestingly, the last time Mars entered Sagittarius, mid-November of 2008, is when U.S. President-elect Barack Obama resigned his Senate seat. Sagittarius is the sign of politics, and with Aggressor Mars’ entry into this sign, the upcoming U.S. midterm-elections, on tap for next week, are certain to become even more heated.

The intrinsic nature of Mars is “trail-blazing” and “pioneering,” so it could be, theoretically, that with Mars in Sagittarius, incumbents may have a harder time holding onto their seats. It could also mean that many of us will be more energized to get involved in politics, this election season, instead of sitting on the sidelines. Mars denotes our passions and tends to “fire us up.” On the shadow side, Mars in Sagittarius is more inclined to be impulsive, reckless, and scattered.

News Update: With Mars entering idealistic Sagittarius today the Minister of Defense in France announced that France and some other NATO nations may begin withdrawing troops from Afghanistan next year. Interestingly, Mars rules war and the military. Its departure from defensive, retaliatory Scorpio to Inspirational, Philosophical Sagittarius could be interpreted perhaps as more of a willingness to “tame the aggressive urge” out of hope that a “higher order of things” may prevail in the future.  Sagittarius is more of a dreamy, visionary sign.

Activities highlighted now: cooking, decorating, teaching, learning, writing, politics, romance, parties, antiquing, healing, beauty treatments, personal pampering.

Quote For The Day:

“In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.” Thomas Jefferson

Famous Birthday Today:

American computer billionaire, Bill Gates, is 55 today! Gates has a Resourceful, Investigative Scorpio Sun, with a Pioneering Aries Moon (conjunct his Aries 10th house of Career), and a Nurturing Cancer Rising or Ascendant. Uranus, which denotes genius and originality, is conjunct Gate’s Ascendant, making him futuristic and a trend-setter, and also very brilliant and original.  In his money house, Jupiter and Pluto are also exactly conjunct in Flashy, Regal Leo, a classic signature of “mega-money.” Happy Birthday, Bill!

This Date In History:

On October 28, 1636, Harvard University was founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Jupiter, which rules higher education and colleges, was conjunct Venus, in Analytical Virgo. Venus rules “what we love,” and combined with Scholarly Jupiter, there can be an “abundant love of learning.” Jupiter, the expansive principle, also rules the Academically-minded sign of Sagittarius (which Mars is entering today).

Also, Venus and Jupiter were in a harmonious trine to Renewing Pluto, in Anchoring Taurus, suggesting that “educational pursuits” could provide opportunity for “transformation and firm footing.” No telling how many doors have been opened, over the years, for individuals holding distinguished degrees from Harvard University.

COSMIC WEATHER:

Moon continues in Earthy, Sensual Taurus. And, with four planets in Sexy Scorpio, including the Love Duo of Venus and Mars, it may be a good time to lounge around the boudoir and perfect our intimate night moves. Even in the daytime!

What’s also cool here is Mars (which rules sex) is exactly trine Uranus, the planet of Originality.  Uranus is also in Fantasy-Minded Pisces. There’s no way we can lose now.  All we have to do is be a little original!

I have also listed down below, different events that have occurred in recent years, with Mars-Uranus.  This is a time when we want to change things up. Be willing to get out of our box. Look at our lives in new ways.  Even making minor changes today may serve us well in the long run.

Activities Spotlighted Today: Boating, fishing, dancing, research, studying astrology (Uranus rules astrology), meditation, treasure-hunting, reviewing insurance and financial matters, theater, music, painting, sculpting, ceramics, romance, gardening, baking, massage, facials.

On This Date In History:

October 24, 1901: Anna Taylor becomes the first woman in history to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. The Moon was in Sea-Ruling Pisces. The Sun had also just entered Resourceful Scorpio and was exactly trine Neptune (the ruler of Pisces), making it an ideal time for aquatic activities.  Neptune and Pisces both rule boating and, I guess, in this case, a barrel qualifies as a form of navigation on the water.

Another aspect I love here is Venus, ruling women, was in adventurous Sagittarius, and exactly conjunct Experimental Uranus. Venus also represents our hobbies and pastimes, what we enjoy doing in our free time for recreation. On Venus-Uranus days, we often are in the mood to “try new pleasures.” Uranus also has a need for originality, and putting its personal stamp on everything. Way to go, Anna! Better you than me.

In the News:

Almost 400,000 classified field reports from the Iraqi War were released by Wikileaks on Friday, the same day we had the Full Moon in Aries.  Aries rules war and the military; full moons bring illumination.

Mars (ruler of Aries) in Investigative Scorpio was also applying to an exact trine to Rebel Uranus in Behind the Scenes Pisces, when the disclosure was made, probably another factor in helping to bring the hidden (classified) information to the forefront. Uranus can bring “sudden new developments,” and aligned with Mars, these developments can center around the war and military. Several U.S. officials have condemned the leaks including Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Some other notable events with Mars trine Uranus in the recent past:

1) Oct 29, 2008 – Delta Airlines merged with Northwest Airlines forming the world’s largest commercial air carrier. Mars was in Scorpio (the sign of joint resources) and trine to Uranus in Pisces (just like now). (Uranus rules aviation, Pisces is the sign that dissolves borders. Mars blazes new trails.)

2) Nov 4, 2008 – Mars in Scorpio separating 2 degrees from a trine to Uranus in Pisces: Barrack Obama is elected President of the U.S. Mars in Scorpio is transformational and Uranus is the planet of change.  Obama ran on a “platform of change.”

3) May 17, 2004 – Mars in Familial Cancer trine Uranus in Pisces: Massachusetts legalizes same-sex marriage in compliance with a ruling from the state’s Supreme Judicial Court (Goodridge v. Department of Public Health).  Mars rules sex and Uranus is associated with equality. Frequently when gay rights issues are in the news, Uranus’ ray is prominent.

4) November 25, 2002 – U.S. President George W. Bush signs the Homeland Security Act into law, creating the Department of Homeland Security, in the largest U.S. government reorganization since the Department of Defense was created in 1947. Mars was in Judicial Libra trine Uranus in Experimental Aquarius.

Mars rules defense and the military.  It also rules the aggressive urge.  With the “animalistic” side of Mars, we are more concerned with basic self-preservation issues. Mars-Uranus makes us more amenable to making sweeping changes, trying new things out. Also at the time, Expansive Jupiter was in Leadership Leo exactly sextile to Transforming Pluto in Patriotic Sagittarius. With Jupiter-Pluto we are looking to expand our range of control. Sagittarius adds more of a zealotry to whatever we are doing.  It also rules politics and our moral beliefs.  Pluto’s ray is often activated with respect to issues of terrorism and subversive groups, and the Homeland Security department was largely a response to 9/11.

5) June 5, 2000 – 405 The Move, the first short film widely distributed on the Internet, is released.  Mars was in Communicative Gemini trine Uranus in Aquarius.  Uranus rules the internet. (Mercury was also exactly quinqunx Neptune in Aquarius, with Neptune ruling films.)

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope October 19, 2010: We Are All One

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Domestic Moon remains in Divinity-Seeking Pisces. We are wanting to embark down those insightful roads that will lead us back to our soul’s “original home.”

With Mental Mercury in Peace-Keeping Libra quinqunx to Erratic Uranus, however, which is also positioned in Mystical Pisces, we may be a little unsure about which roads are really the “right roads to go down,” to ensure our soul’s sacred journey.

At the end of the day, The Balanced Libra Sun harmoniously trine to Spiritual Neptune in Futuristic Aquarius, beseeches us “not to worry.” The Sun-Neptune wisdom serenely purports to us that eventually “all paths lead to the same door,” and that all we need to remember is that “we are all one.”

Activities favored today: random acts of kindness, writing poetry, music, songs, prayer, meditation, theater, acting, experimenting with make-up, decorating, collecting seashells, befriending fishes, absconding with enlightened mermaids.

Quote For Today:

“By faithfulness we are collected and wound up into unity within ourselves, whereas we had been scattered abroad in multiplicity.” Saint Augustine

On This Date In History:

October 19, 1983: The U.S. Senate establishes Martin Luther King, Jr. federal holiday. Very notable here then was Pioneering Mars in Analytical Virgo in a tight square to Philosophical Jupiter in Highly Principled Sagittarius, the sign that Jupiter naturally rules.  Mars-Jupiter tends to “fire up” our idealism (Jupiter) and makes us want to go to war (Mars) for what we believe in (Jupiter). It is traditionally associated with political and social activism.

I also blogged the other day here how sometimes, too, Mars-Jupiter aspects are associated with “religious fanaticism,” as Jupiter also rules religion and Mars adds fuel and passion to that body of beliefs.  We always need to be careful with Mars-Jupiter that we don’t go overboard, as Jupiter tends to excessive behavior anyway, and on the shadow side, can additionally make us somewhat arrogant and cocksure that we alone hold the truth.

Additionally, Jupiter was separating from a conjunction to Equality-Ruling Uranus, which was also in the sign of Higher Beliefs Sagittarius. Uranus, ruling matters involving groups and the collective, characteristically delivers to us sudden insights and awareness, and in Sagittarius, these insights can help to shape our moral beliefs and behavior. Jupiter-Uranus tends to take us out of our normal belief set and allows us to feel more comfortable with or embrace non-traditional ideas, shatters some of Jupiter’s “moral superiority” notion.

We also presently have Jupiter and Uranus conjunct now in Idealistic Pisces, a sign that Jupiter co-rules with Neptune. Equality and humanitarian issues are emphasized with this conjunction and just last week, we had the federal judge striking down the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy, which had been in place in the military for almost two decades.

Another cool parallel to today was the Justice-Seeking Libra Sun then was exactly sextile to Compassionate Neptune which was also in Sagittarius. Today we have the Libra Sun trine Neptune in Brotherly Aquarius, a very similar aspect. Neptune is our link to the Divine and represents a state of consciousness in which “we are all one,” our personal borders and boundaries are dissolved.  Our compassion and humanity are stoked and we realize that we are all in this together. On Sun-Neptune days we become more preoccupied with our unity versus our differences. Therefore, we are more likely to espouse a a political philosophy of “inclusion,”  even on Capitol Hill.

Patricia’s Astrology: October 15, 1969 “The Vietnam Moratorium”

On This Date In History:

October 15, 1969 – The “Vietnam Moratorium” is held.  Millions of people protest the war (including Bill Clinton, who was a student at Oxford then). In the heavens, passionate “Warrior” Mars in Capricorn, the sign of government, is exactly square to “Philosophical” Jupiter in Libra, the sign of peace and diplomacy.

“Mars-Jupiter” is an aspect with a great history of “firing up our passions and idealism.” Mars, the energy planet, energizes whatever it touches and Jupiter represents our moral beliefs.  We are willing to “do combat” (Mars) for “what we believe in” now (Jupiter), similar to the energy of today’s Aquarius Moon which speaks to us about getting involved in causes “greater than ourselves.” With the Vietnam Moratorium, the protesters peacefully dissented (diplomatic Libra) against the “war policies”of the government (Mars in Capricorn). Mars rules war and the military.

Often Mars-Jupiter is associated with “religious fanaticism,” too, as Jupiter rules religion, and the nature of  Jupiter is such (especially when it is aligned with energizer Mars) that we can easily “go overboard” and get “carried away” with whatever we are involved with.

Even though Jupiter is an “expansive influence,” and more of a “benevolent planet,” sometimes the pitfall with it is we do not know when to “rein ourselves in.” For example, Jupiter is also associated with obesity and excess. We can’t stop with just “one jelly doughnut,” we have to consume a whole dozen! So, moderation is often needed and called for with Jupiter, if we are going to judiciously utilize the opportunity energies of this great planet to the best capacity.

Astrology October 12, 2010: The Preacher Moon

11 Monday Oct 2010

COSMIC WEATHER:

With the Preacher Moon in Sagittarius we’re wanting to evangelize or proselytize others to our way of thinking. But we could experience some awkward fallout here with this as a consequence, with the Moon’s square to Inflated Jupiter (4:16 pm EDT), especially if we convey an air of too much self-righteousness from behind the pulpit.

Later, our emotional mood may turn more rebellious with both the Moon’s square to Freedom-Loving Uranus (8:08 pm EDT) and Love Maven Venus’ 135-degree aspect to this same planet (10:10 pm EDT).

With Venus-Uranus, we’re more inclined to “walk on the wild side.” Our tastes and desires often become more “non-traditional.”

On the shadow side, Uranus is perennially the “problem-child” that goads us on to impulsively “break the rules,” often without serious regard for the consequences. No coincidence, I guess, that Venus-Uranus is a “classic divorce aspect,” as relationships usually require certain set protocol to succeed over time. Venus-Uranus is often unwilling to make that kind of day-in, day-out commitment because it doesn’t like to feel hemmed in.

On this day in history:

On October 12, 1901, President Theodore Roosevelt renames “Executive Mansion,” “The White House.” On that day, there was a New Moon at 18 degrees of Decorative Libra, a sign known for proper social protocol and decorum. (New Moons signal new beginnings.) Both the Sun and Moon were also harmoniously trine Transformer Pluto at 18 degrees of Gemini. Pluto’s ray is often associated with “historic firsts” and “sweeping changes.”  Gemini also governs speech, communication and descriptive words and phrases. So, it’s kind of cool how this name change came about with Pluto’s “recasting energy” so prominent here, on top of Fashionable Libra’s intrinsic desire and need to want to “dress things up.”

Quote For The Day:

“One filled with joy preaches without preaching.” Mother Teresa

Today’s Affirmation:

“May my deeds seed a glorious garden of hope for others. And my words abolish the weeds of despair.”

“Sex is good, but not as good as fresh, sweet corn.” Garrsion Keillor

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Health-conscious” Virgo Sun opposes “Over-indulgent” Jupiter and also “You Can’t Force Me To Eat My Vegetables!” Uranus in “Please Don’t Hold Me Accountable” Pisces. Dietary discipline may very much be needed today. Especially with the “Liquor-Friendly” Pisces Moon wanting to substitute tequilas instead of fresh fruit for dessert. Too, with today’s more “unsettled energy” pattern around us now, we may all be wanting a few stiff drinks by the end of the day. (Try breathing slowly and meditatively chanting instead.  Remember, the Moon is still in “mystically-minded” Pisces.)

NEWS UPDATE:

With the Virgo Sun opposing the Jupiter and Uranus conjunction (forcing Equality Issues) in Underdog Pisces today, the U.S. Senate is slated to cast a pivotal vote on the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. Uranus is usually emphasized when “gay rights” issues come to the forefront, as Uranus embodies “freedom of expression” within the framework of “groups and the collective.”

Patricia’s Astrology: Saturn in Libra 2010 and Same Sex Marriage

13 Friday Aug 2010

Federal Judge Vaughn R. Walker, on Thursday, lifted his stay on the same-sex marriages ban, paving the way for gay couples in California to marry in that state. Walker delayed, however, implementation of his order to lift the ban until August 18th.

Walker’s ruling a week ago, that a voter-approved ban on same sex marriage (Proposition Eight) was unconstitutional, was rendered with pioneering Mars in Matrimonial Libra exactly squaring off with transformational Pluto in Capricorn, the sign of government. Mars, the energy planet, symbolizes “bold action.”

Libra not only rules marriage it also presides over the courts and judicial system, so the federal judge would be symbolized here by Mars in judicial Libra. Mars and Pluto are both often involved with “historic firsts.” Pluto also represents “the masses” and matters that impact the collective.

Mars-Pluto can be indicative of someone “seizing power” or taking “forceful, transforming action.” It’s also a classic “war aspect” replete with power clashes and clashes of will. There is strong opposition to Judge Walker’s ruling. President Obama reportedly supports civil unions between gay and lesbian couples, but is against gay marriages.

Also, “Karma Lord” Saturn in Nuptials Libra was opposite Uranus in Aries when Walker ruled last week.  Uranus is associated with equality and gay rights issues and also represents change. With the Saturn and Uranus opposition, once again, we had the pitting of the old, signified by Saturn, versus the new, with the new winning out this time, perhaps due again to the simultaneously strong Mars-Pluto aspect which tends to bulldoze or reconfigure existing structures and protocol. Mars-Pluto is, unquestionably, one of the most transforming and powerful energy aspects in astrology.

On August 18th, Saturn in relationship Libra will be exactly squaring controlling, transforming Pluto to a tee. It ought to be interesting to see how this aspect plays out. Saturn-Pluto can represent “death to the past,” but often not without a bitter fight and, of course, same-sex marriage remains a controversial and polarizing issue.

Libra is also the sign of the scales and balance, and it seems Serious Saturn here is putting the discussion of this weighty matter back on the table for further examination, now that it is in the matrimonial sign.  Saturn will be in Libra through October of 2012.

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope August 12, 2010: All Shook Up

“Don’t cook. Don’t clean. No man will ever make love to a woman because she’s waxed the linoleum.” Joan Rivers


COSMIC WEATHER:

Moon is in Tidy Virgo during the day.  The premier sign for heavy-duty vacuuming and all manner of cleaning. It’s the Moon position that many of us longingly wait for, all month, and the very best time to purge ourselves, both individually and collectively, of all forms of dirt and filth and scum that may be interfering with our, otherwise, healthy psychological functioning, on a daily basis, and muddying up and subverting the fortuitous feng shui energies around us.

Highly recommended actions with the Spotless Virgo Moon today: The disinfecting of shoe interiors with ammonia, scrubbing down the kids and politicians with Mr. Clean, and starching the pets, even the goldfish, so they will look and feel like they did when they first came out of the womb. Always with the Virgo Moon we are psychologically looking to return to our pure virginal roots before we were so disgustingly defiled and tampered with.

At 6:44 pm EDT, the Moon then switches to Matrimonial Libra, at which time, all “hell breaks loose,” on the homefront, as the Cardinal T-Cross is activated, yet again, due to the malicious, vindictive, mean-spirited mindset of the Universe, which wants to keep dumping on us.

The Relationship-Centered Libra Moon will be opposing Explosive Uranus, conjuncting Depressive, Sadistic Saturn, opposing Inebriated, Spendthrift Jupiter, and squaring Jealous, Control Freak Pluto.

After all that hullabaloo, the diabolical Universe still expects all of us to lovingly go to bed with each, and make lovey-dovey, like nothing has happened to us.  Pretend that our hair is still perfectly coiffed, and that the teeth marks on our arms, but fond reminders of our deep love and affection for each other. Go figure!

“It’s a dream with a V8 engine.  Ain’t nowhere else in the world where you can go from driving a truck to driving a Cadillac overnight.” Elvis Presley.

Observing the official “Elvis Week” here, August 10th-16th. Did you know that Elvis loved to play football? This is true. Elvis played the quarterback position and even after he became famous, one of his very favorite things to do was to get together with a few of his close buddies and play football with them whenever he was back home in Memphis. Elvis had Mars, ruling athletes, elevated in his horoscope, a placement that many professional athletes often have.

In The News: One more big “Venus-Pluto” story for you this week.  Remember I told you earlier that the Venus-Pluto planetary influence that is separating now could even involve a “spy connection.”  Well, come to find that Letitia Long became the first female director of a major US intelligence agency with Venus-Pluto exact to the dot on Monday. Ms. Long became Director of the Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

The NGA was created in 1996 and collects and analyzes overhead imagery and geo-spatial information.  The agency’s motto is “Know the Earth. Shows the way.”  Of course, that is the “official,” mumbo-jumbo description of the agency, but both you and I know that her real purpose as the director of that body will be to look for, hunt down, and arrest, spies from outer space. When does the government ever tell us the truth?

Anyway, I thought this story was so cool occurring under the umbrella of “Venus square Pluto,” as Venus rules “women” and Pluto rules spying and is also deposited in the governmental sign of Capricorn. Plus Venus-Pluto is part of the present, larger Cardinal T-Square, which also involves Geo-spatial Uranus residing, at the moment, in law-enforcement Aries.

Enjoy your Thursday!

Grab you a chair and sit down and observe the “spin cycle” up close. You never know, George Clooney may even stop by to do his laundry. Wouldn’t that be something?

I also wonder what kind of laundry detergent George likes to use? What do you think? Do you think he prefers the granular kind or the more flowing, sensual, liquid variety? I’ve got to believe it’s the latter, especially since he has a watery Pisces Ascendant. But, he is also a cautious Taurus. Maybe, at the end of the day, he’s more comfortable “going with the grain,” and the granular.

“Home is not where you live, but where they understand you.” Christian Morganstern


COSMIC WEATHER:

Moon leaves Communicative Gemini for Homebody Cancer (5:50 pm EDT) activating a rare, historic, Cardinal Grand Cross in the sky.  Connection Queen, Venus, leaves Virginal Virgo for Romantic Libra (11:48 pm EDT), assuming a place at the Grand Cross table as well.  Eccentric Uranus is eyeballing perfectly coiffed Venus from across the table and smiling at her with spinach in his teeth. Ugh!!!

“We’re home alone.

In bed.

Late at night.

Under the covers

In our polyester pj’s.

Almost dozed off and starting to peacefully dream about George Clooney.

When the frickin’ dog barks and woefully scares away poor George.

Rats!!!

We then hear a loud noise downstairs.

And voices, and music playing.

We suddenly remember that we left the window open in the study, the place where we keep all our valuables.

Then we also remember that it’s the night of the Cardinal Grand Square activation, with weird things most likely happening on the home front. This is partly because Venus has that perfunctory, annual, “opposition date” with Quirky Uranus.

Whenever Venus gets with Uranus, her behavior becomes terribly erratic and her inhibitions fly out the window.

We don’t even want to begin to know what those two could be up to downstairs.

Done that.  Been there before. Although I personally can’t recall which decade.

So we put on ear plugs and try to fall back to sleep.

Praying that George Clooney will reappear with us, one more time, under the bed sheets.

To protect us from the harsh, cruel world, and the likes of the volatile Cardinal Square, now reaching a climactic pitch – at least downstairs!

In the News:

The United States Senate Thursday confirmed the nomination of Elena Kagan as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. She will be sworn into office in a few days and, I believe, seated on the court in October.

Kagan (b. 4/28/60) is a pragmatic Taurus with a lighthearted, humorous Gemini Moon. She also has her Mental Mercury in independent thinking Aries trine her Uranus in Leo, giving her excellent originality in her thought processes, as well as drama, wit, and spontaneity. Her Mercury is also square to serious Saturn in cautious Capricorn, good for adding depth and concentration to her mental abilities.

Right now, Kagan has transforming Pluto sitting smack on her 3 degree Jupiter in governmental Capricorn, with Jupiter symbolically ruling judges.  This will be Elena’s first experience as a judge, but something that her horoscope shows great potential aptitude for. Pluto is also exactly trining her natal Pluto at 3 degrees of  employment Virgo, good for turning over a new leaf, career-wise.

Kagan’s confirmation to the Supreme Court comes just as Mars and Saturn, and later today, Venus, occupy the sign of matrimonial Libra which also rules justice and the courts. All three planets are caught in the crossfire of the Cardinal T-Square, a time of big changes for the collective, with many of those changes having long-term consequences. Also, on Wednesday, a federal judge overturned the same sex marriage ban in California.  That matter may eventually end up in the Supreme Court with Elena Kagan one of the judges deciding whether gays should have a right to constitutionally marry in the U.S.

Kagan’s addition to the Supreme Court is precedent-setting as well as it marks the first time in history that three women have served on the Court at the same time.  Kagan is also only the fourth woman ever to be nominated to the Supreme Court. Way to go, Elena! Congratulations!

Famous August 6th Leo Birthdays: Geri Estelle Halliwell (38), Michelle Yeoh (48)

Enjoy your Friday!

You may want to put steel plates in front of all the windows before you go to bed tonight, and sleep in combat fatigues in the bomb shelter in the basement. Just a precaution with the Cancer Moon in the volatile Cardinal Grand Square and Venus on that wild date with Uranus.

Also, don’t even think about getting fresh with George Clooney in your sleep tonight.  If you do, you’ll regret it, and feel guilty as all get out when Uranus leaves Venus Saturday morning and Venus lands on Saturn’s judgmental lap on Saturday night.

Patricia’s Astrology, July 31, 2010: Bill Clinton, Father of the Bride

31 Saturday Jul 2010

astrology, astrology for july 31 2010, astrology july 31 2010, astrology signs, Bill Clinton, Bill Clinton horoscope, CBS evening news, Chelsea clinton wedding, Chelsea Clinton Wedding July 31 2010, children, daily astrology, father of the bride, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton horoscope, horoscope for july 31 2010, horoscope july 31 2010, Jupiter conjunct fifth house of children, love, marriage, mother of the bride, nuptials, politics, President Bill Clinton, Rhinebeck New York, Saturn conjunct the Ascendant, Saturn in Libra, weight loss and Saturn, White House

It’s Chelsea Clinton’s “Fairy Tale Wedding Day.”  But, what does the nervous “Father of the Bride,” Bill Clinton, a Leo, have in his horoscope today?

How about the transiting Energizing Mars and Karma Lord Saturn conjoined in marital Libra close to an exact conjunction to his personable Libra Ascendant, which governs both physical appearance and new beginnings. Definitely a time of stepped up, major life activity!

Too, if you have seen President Clinton lately, he is also sporting a “slimmed-down” version of himself, most likely a byproduct of Saturn on the Ascendant, as Saturn tends to help us stick to a diet and lose weight. Saturn is associated with self-discipline and weight loss, epitomizing as it does the, “less is more” philosophy.

Chelsea had also reportedly told her dad a few months ago that she wanted him to “shed a few pounds,” so as to look good “walking her down the aisle,” something that this very proud, doting Leo dad was apparently all too happy to oblige. Tonight, the CBS Evening News reported that Clinton has lost twenty pounds.

Both Mars and Saturn are also sextile to his natal Saturn in Leo today, with Leo ruling the sign of children. When one’s natal Saturn is harmoniously activated, as it is in this case, we are often rewarded and paid back handsomely for our past good deeds and actions.  Saturn pertains to the structures that we have carefully erected over time and in Clinton’s horoscope Saturn rules his fourth house of the home and family, so he is being cosmically “patted on the back” for the efforts he has expended in the past to be a loving father.

But, not to be remiss, Hillary Clinton, a Scorpio, and the proud “Mother of the Bride,” and the current U.S. Secretary of State, has lucky, expansive Jupiter closely conjunct her fifth house of children, traditionally a time when there is burgeoning new opportunity and success for matters of one’s own offspring, as well as a sense of deep personal satisfaction and pleasure derided from one’s own relationship to them.

Additionally, Hillary has both transiting Jupiter and Change Agent Uranus near her fifth house of children trine to her natal Jupiter, in optimistic Sagittarius, which is in her first house of new starts. A very exciting and memorable time in life in which one often sees a new reality ushered in pertaining to home and family matters. Both Mars and Saturn in nuptials Libra today are also exactly sextiling Hillary’s Jupiter, from the eleventh house of her chart, the sector in the horoscope that deals with actualizing one’s hopes and wishes.
