Cosmic Weather:

“The day the power of love overrules the love of power, the world will know peace.” Mahatma Gandi

The Sun in Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn (9:27 am). This more intense, complicated aspect can often find us pushing too hard to control the scheme of things; we may possibly perceive ourselves to be under attack so we won’t let go. However, holding on too tightly now can also boomerang and work against us, in some instances, particularly by depleting (or exhausting) our energy. Included here, we may also become more aware of specific behaviors that are no longer serving us and should be purged or moved to the curb.

On the other hand, this is not necessarily a time when we need to give up on our goals, especially those that are a central part of our basic self-expression, our personal identity, and or reflect our deeply-held beliefs, values, or viewpoints; instead, we may just need to retool things; to fashion some new creative responses or strategies that allow us to express our personal power and purpose in a more unifying way on an energetic level; that plays to our strengths or hopes (and not to our weaknesses or fears).

The Waxing Crescent Moon also remains in versatile Gemini all day. Imploring us to make connections, seek out alternatives, verbalize our feelings.

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On April 16, 1943, Swiss scientist Dr. Albert Hofmann discovers the psychedelic effects of LSD.

Astrologically, that day, pioneering Mars was at 29 degrees of experimental, innovative Aquarius and applying to an exact quincunx to hallucinogenic Neptune (which rules psychedelic drugs). Neptune was also Rx at 0 degrees and 1 minute of Libra, getting ready to re-enter the health-sign of Virgo. Neptune was an especially important “point-of-focus” in the sky then with its shift back into Virgo; Mars was also a key cosmic player at the critical “29-degree mark” – and getting ready to dive into Neptune-ruled Pisces. Mars-Neptune influences are often associated with seeking out activities that give rise to a “feeling of transcendence” or wanting to experience somehow “otherworldly” connections.

“By observing natural scientific discoveries through a perception deepened by meditation, we can develop a new awareness of reality.” Albert Hofmann

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology September 17, 2011: Venus Opposes Uranus

COSMIC WATCH:

A convergence of “roguish activity” above us today: Mental Mercury semisquares hotheaded Mars; Mars quinqunxes psychedelic Neptune; lovable Venus opposes wacky, erratic Uranus; and the empowering Sun sesquiquadrates extravagant, boastful Jupiter. Perhaps it’s a good thing that the maternal Moon is still luxuriating through silk pajama Taurus, as it may help to mellow us out, or at least benevolently shield us from some of these maverick forces now on the prowl.

While we are encouraged to seek out more fun and stimulation in our social lives today (Venus-Uranus), we may want to keep an eye on our intimate encounters and make sure that we are not “rocking the boat” too much by insisting on “doing our own thing,” regardless of the consequences.  Venus-Uranus can have us craving emotional excitement and freedom at all cost. We can also suddenly get bored with our partners and or be attracted to persons who are very different from us, especially those who would be described as more non-conforming types or outright rebels.

Too, we may want to rein in our spending and not go overboard with impulsive purchases today, particularly buying outlandish items, as Venus also governs money and aligned with oddball Uranus, our tastes could be pretty whimsical and wild. The Sun-Jupiter aspect can also dubiously inspire intemperate or wasteful behavior. Additionally, the Mars-Neptune “escapist influence” is lurking in the shadows, ready, willing and able to magically transport us into “la la land,” along with spaced-out Alice and her slew of white, Haight Ashbury rabbits, if we’re not careful. Such a complex day! 🙂

“Drugs are marvelous if you want to escape, but reality is so rich, why escape?” Geraldine Chaplin

Famous Birthday September 17th: Elvira, “Mistress of the Dark,” turns 60! Fascinatingly, in her birthchart, she has sexy Mars in theatrical Leo in her tenth house of career dramatically conjuncting mysterious Pluto. This influence, no doubt, gives her amazing ability to wistfully maneuver through cavernous realms. Both Mars and Pluto are also aligned with fantasy Neptune in Libra in her 12th house of hidden resources. Neptune rules photography and television.

Alluring Neptune is also near her beauty-loving Libra Ascendant (the Ascendant governs our physical appearance), helping to make her photogenic and very hypnotic. No wonder it is so easy to go under her spell! My late husband was crazy about Elvira. Always harbored a little bit of jealousy about it. 🙂 Of course, I’m over it now. Hope it’s a good one, Elvira!

Enjoy your Saturday!

Astrology May 22, 2011: “Feet Not On The Ground” Sun Square Neptune

22 Sunday May 2011

COSMIC WATCH:

“Don’t part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.” Mark Twain

This insightful Mark Twain quote may be of some temporary consolation to us today as we grapple with the psychedelic impact of illusionist Neptune, in “permanently out to sea” Pisces, exactly square to the brightly lit Sun in “talk therapy” Gemini.

“Father, please forgive us in advance, for what we say and do today. We haven’t a clue. Amen.” 🙂

Veiled, dissolving Neptune governs our urge for fantasy or escape. When its ray is activated, our feet seem to “not be on the ground.” We are wanting to flee the real world for “other realms,” including the world of our own, sometimes scary imagination, which Neptune presides over. With Sun-Neptune it is easier for us to be confused, bewildered, or bewitched.

Too, with this aspect, we are often unable to maintain healthy boundaries around us and we are more prone to letting in questionable elements that could serve to undermine us in some way. That is why we need to be a bit more wary of what is around us today and especially be on guard against deceptive (Neptune) forces. If something seems a little weird to us, chances are that it’s only the “tip of the iceberg” and we need to run immediately for cover. The thing is about Neptune’s pull, too, is that it often glamorizes things that are really not good for us (Neptune rules drugs and alcohol).

Of course, it is true that we still have the Moon in analytical Aquarius, which normally can help us to detach from our vulnerabilities and navigate things objectively, although the Moon is also pummeling the likes of “relationship” Venus (2:12 pm EDT), “defensive” Mars (2:46 pm EDT), and “logical” Mercury (5:53 pm EDT), making it potentially more challenging for us to relate to others logically and with a healthy sensitivity. Thankfully, though, the Moon will make a harmonious trine to “safe harbor” Saturn in “peace preserving” Libra by day’s end (7:01 pm EDT). And, not to be overlooked, Venus, Mars and Mercury are still in “rock solid” Taurus, also boding well for our prospects of being able to successfully parachute back “down to earth.”

Interestingly, cute Beatle, Paul McCartney, was born with his Sun in Gemini in his tenth house of career exactly square to dreamy Neptune in workhorse Virgo. Neptune is also exactly conjoined Paul’s Virgo Ascendant, with the Ascendant being the window in which one views the world. Paul is a perfect example of how to effectively channel Neptune’s more imaginative ray to one’s own advantage, by being able to fully immerse himself into the world of his own creativity and also become a billionaire in the process. Neptune also rules music.

Beyond that, Paul, and the Beatles, actually served as a conduit to facilitate much of the planet’s immersion into “Neptune’s whimsical realms”  through their floodgate of  music, thereby freeing us from the prosaic drone of our daily lives. They acted as a Neptunian narcotic, in many ways, enlisting us as Sgt. Pepper band members as a surefire way of escape (Neptune).

Paul also has his initiating, pioneering Mars tightly conjunct focused Pluto in entertainment Leo providing him with obsessive drive and natural-born desire for self-expression and showmanship (his Moon is also in Leo). Right now, we also have Mars, Venus and Mercury in tangible, artistic Taurus trining Pluto in ambitious Capricorn, somewhat of an equivalent form of energy here, in addition to the “magical, mystery tour” invitation of today’s Sun square Neptune.

Astrology April 7, 2011: Chatty Gemini Moon, Relationship Venus Quinqunx Saturn

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Bad human communication leaves us less room to grow.” Rowan D. Williams

The pace of life notably quickens today as the Moon vacates steady Taurus for restless Gemini (7:22 am EDT), the chatty sign of communication. A time when we are more apt to want to articulate our feelings (Moon) and to also want to make “small talk,” and to kid around. The Gemini Moon is normally a period when we heartily enjoy sharing our ready stash of “one-liners.”

(Here’s one: “The man bought his wife a water bed. She calls it the “‘Dead Sea!'”)

As soon as the Moon enters Gemini, she forms a tight square to psychedelic Neptune in dreamy Pisces (7:32 am EDT), so it could be that our early morning communications are a little “spacey,” or somewhat weird or distorted (more chance of some confusion). Although Moon-Neptune does turn the volume up really high on our creative imagination and pleasure-laden fantasies. Soon afterward we also have a chance to showcase our originality, even our genius, when Luna makes an opportunity sextile to liberating, inventive Uranus in adventurous Aries (10:19 am EDT).

Another lunar highlight of the day is the Moon’s buoyant sextile to energizer Mars in Aries (3:56 pm EDT), a time when we will want to be fully engaging both our minds (Gemini) and our bodies (Aries) in things we enjoy. The Moon-Mars link also incites our competitive instincts.

Additionally, we have relationship Venus in idealistic, caring Pisces forming an awkward 150-degree aspect (quinqunx) to hard-liner Saturn in Venus-ruled matrimonial Libra. It could be that we are feeling somewhat uncomfortable or victimized (Pisces) by the demands (Saturn) that others (Libra) are placing on us now. We may need to reach some kind of compromise to preserve the peace (Libra).

Interestingly enough, the “compromising” sign of Libra also rules the U.S. Congress and today things are down to the wire with respect to needing to reach some kind of agreement regarding the federal budget, otherwise ‘nonessential” services of the U.S. govt will be shutting down. Of course, too, Pluto (ruling debt) is getting ready to station retrograde in governmental Capricorn (exact early Saturday EDT), another force at play here. We are also being fed media reports on how a “scaled-down” (purging Pluto) U.S. government would operate. On the other hand, with Sun conjunct “feel good” Jupiter yesterday, the U.S. stock market reached a two-year high. Go figure.

Famous Birthdays April 7: David Frost (72), James Garner (83). This astrologer has had a major, life-long crush on James Garner. It started when I was a child and used to watch him in the hit TV series “Maverick.” Then, later, I watched him in the “Rockford Files.” I always wanted to meet a man like James, but never did. BTW, James Garner was born with the Sun exactly conjunct Jupiter in Aries, the same expansive aspect that we just had yesterday and that I also blogged about. Can’t believe it, James is 83! Hope it’s a good one, Jim. Love ya!

Saturn Trine Neptune Beatles Begin Recording Sgt Pepper 11/24

This Date In History:

November 24, 1966:

The Beatles begin recording sessions for their masterpiece eighth album: Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band which was later released on June 1, 1967. The group reportedly spent over 400 hours in the recording studio producing this one album. The BBC would later end up banning one of the songs from it, “A Day In The Life” out of reported concern over a supposed drug reference in the song, “I’d love to turn you on…”

On 11/24/66 the Moon was in fiery, pioneering Aries. Also, adding to the level of excitement that day: The illuminating Sun and Creative Venus were affectionately conjunct in storytelling Sagittarius, harmoniously trined to lucky, expansive Jupiter in showman Leo, the sign of entertainment.

Enterprising Mars, the ruler of trailblazing Aries, was in perfectionist Virgo and exactly conjunct “inventive genius” Uranus. Mars and Uranus were additionally in a close conjunction to transforming Pluto in Virgo.

So we had a cool host of intense, game-changing influences for the collective, in effect.

Ambitious Saturn, too, often billed as the “Lord of Karma,” was in Imaginative Pisces, the sign which rules music, and in an exact flowing trine to mystical, psychedelic Neptune (Neptune rules drugs).  Neptune is also the planetary ruler of Pisces. Of course, Sgt. Pepper had a very mystical, psychedelic theme to it. Drug Kingpin Neptune was also hanging out in revamping Scorpio at the time, maybe part of the reason why so many were trying to find “psychic redemption” then through mind-altering drugs.

Too, Neptune rules our dreams and fantasies, and when aligned favorably with “karma rewards king” Saturn, we often see the manifestation of our dreams (creativity) coming true. We are better able to give tangible form and shape (Saturn) to the products of our imagination (Neptune) i.e. through songwriting, poetry, painting, etc.

Traditionalist and status quo preserver Saturn in dreamy Pisces was also opposite the rebellious and personally liberating Mars, Uranus, and Pluto conjunction, delineating the general angst that was going on in the collective then among the new ‘hippie” generation for radical change and the older generation of yesteryear.  This angst was, of course, also artistically woven in a masterful way into the fabric of Sgt Pepper and even evident on the unique cover of the record album which was very original (Uranus), spacey and psychedelic (Neptune), and a likely game-changer (Pluto) for the music industry.

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope October 18, 2010: Little Green Men

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Maternal Moon is holed up in Spaced Out Pisces and baking “funny-smelling brownies” in the kitchen.

The Sun in Marital Libra is in a queer quinqunx relationship with Adipose Jupiter, who is also in Inebriated Pisces and down to his last six-pack of beer.  Jupiter is already starting to get the shakes at the prospect of not having enough beer to see him through the start of another work week.

Mental Mercury in Romantic Libra is trining Hallucinatory Neptune, the dreamy planet of fantasy.

Our imagination is fired up.  At any moment, we’re expecting to be visited by “little green men,” with Jupiterian weight issues, coming to take us away in a giant spaceship to see, none other than,  George Clooney.

“George, don’t nod off!  We’ll be there shortly, dear. By the way, do you need us to bring you anything?  Like maybe milk or bread?”

Have some fun today!  Escape into your Neptunian imagination. Dust off your wings and play upon the clouds. Romance stars.

The main caution again today, with another quinqunx to over-optimistic Jupiter, is the tendency to “bite off more than we can chew.”  This is not a good time to be over-committing ourselves or our resources. The “shadow side” of Jupiter has a natural tendency towards waste and excess.

The energy today also inclines us to pursue more mystical and otherworldly paths, as Neptune and the Moon in Pisces, both represent our link to the Divine. Our psychic abilities may also be keener. A good day for ESP experiments and also for examining our dreams.

Today’s Quote For The Day:

“There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds.” G.K. Chesterton

On This Date In History:

On October 18, 1922 the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) forms. Mental Mercury, which rules reporting, was in “Fair and Balanced” Libra (like today) and also in aspect to Imaginative Neptune, which was in Leo, the sign of entertainment. Mercury-Neptune is a premier influence for being able to “weave magic through words and speech.” It is synonymous with story-telling. A lot of poets, writers, actors, artists and songwriters have Mercury-Neptune in their horoscopes. Mercury-Neptune provides us with a rich, inner vision.

Also, just like the present, the Airy, Intellectual Libra Sun was aligned with Expansive Jupiter, but this time it was a powerful conjunction aspect with the planet, as Jupiter was also in Libra. The Sun and Jupiter are the two largest bodies in our solar system and when you have them side by side with each other there is the potential for “big things to happen,” “big empires to be formed.” Jupiter characteristically “over-sizes” whatever it touches.  The nature of Philosophical Jupiter is also scholarly and academic, it wants to “broaden our horizons.” The Sun-Jupiter conjunction is perfect for an informative broadcasting outlet.

Speaking of broadcasting, Technology Wizard Uranus, which rules broadcasting, was in Idealistic Pisces and harmoniously trine to renovating Pluto in Parental Cancer. Uranus trine Pluto is a very transforming energy, and the BBC has had transformational impact on the collective as an authoritative dispenser of the news and events of the day.

Additionally, Ambitious Saturn was also in Libra ( like today) and exactly square to Master Spy Pluto, an aspect which is excellent for “ferreting out the truth.” Saturn gives form, structure, and discipline to Pluto’s depth. The Moon was also in Analytical Virgo, good for fact-finding information. Pioneering Mars in Business-Minded Capricorn was also square to the Sun, injecting strong enthusiasm and a trailblazing spirit to the operation. Mars gives a burning desire to “want to be first,” at whatever it does.
