Cosmic Weather:

(Saturn in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces, at 16 degrees)

Very hopeful, positive cosmic energy descends upon us today!

This Friday (also a renewing “eight” day, numerologically), features the third or final installment of the closing or waning, ‘Saturn-Neptune’ sextile (9:45 pm), for the year, an aspect which first began on January 31st; the second meetup between these planets, occurred on June 18th.

Basically, and ideally, this encouraging sextile influence helps us to really ground or manifest (Saturn) our dreams or inspirations (Neptune), but usually only if we’re willing to add the necessary legwork. This is because, with the sextile aspect, we normally need to actually ‘do’ something; things don’t automatically just flow to us, as they often can, and do, with a trine. Plus, of course, we have Saturn involved in the equation here – and he always requires that we have some “skin in the game.” Saturn rewards us according to our efforts.

Hopefully, too, at the inception of this aspect (in January), we may have started sketching out some of our grand designs or visions, on our humble, little drawing boards, and now we’re finally seeing them get their glorious angel wings!

Also, for those of us who may have arrived a bit ‘late to the party,’ today, is still a good time to challenge ourselves to take some kind of meaningful action on a matter that we know, in our heart, will propel us along positively on our purposeful life journey. In fact, with this being a closing sextile, today, too, if we do take action on something now, it will likely be on a matter that we have already probably seriously considered.

An extra perk or bonus for us today, too, is that the rejuvenating Sun in Scorpio is also making a closing sextile to Saturn (at 12:06 pm) and a waning trine to Neptune (at 12:56 pm). Sun sextile Saturn is always excellent energy for helping us to more effectively prioritize, and then act upon, our goals or objectives as well as draw upon our previous experiences in a practical and self-disciplined manner.

On another level, Sun sextile Saturn is a great time to enlist the aid or support of a mentor, or someone whom we respect, or maybe look up to. This energy is also advantageous for dealing with issues associated with such things as aging, retirement, long-term care, and succession-planning.

The Sun-Neptune trine also adds a, seemingly, more magical component, to our day, and is an energy that can really help us to feel more connected to each other, or more unified, collectively. This more visionary influence can also be very good for such things as taking up peace negotiations, or for calling for truces or ends to conflicts.

This might also be a fun day to channel our inner artist or poet, if we’re so inclined. Or to steal some time away for meditation or quiet reflection. Also, we may experience or encounter more synchronistic-type events.

The Moon also entered pioneering Aries, this morning (at 6:48 am), where it will stay for the duration of the weekend. This lunar position additionally helps to put us in a more adventurous, risk-taking mindset, for the next two and a half days. A time when we will, more than likely, want to be on the go, doing our own thing.

*All times EST

Hope it’s a good one!

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!

Astrology June 28, 2015: Moon conjunct Saturn; Cosmic Quote of the Day

Stars

(Today’s Planetary Aspects: Moon square Jupiter; Moon conjunct Saturn; Mercury quinqunx Pluto; Moon in Scorpio v/c at 9:50 pm; Moon enters Sagittarius, 11:21 pm. All times EDT.) 

Cosmic Quote of the Day: “To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.”  Bertrand Russell

Much of the time in our culture, we equate happiness and contentment with having more of what we want. Yet, sometimes, an empty cup can be a good thing because it gives us a chance to brew up something new and wildly different.

Today’s Energy:

The Moon’s square to expansive Jupiter in Leo (6:41 am) could possibly hijack our sense of reality and get us caught up in our dreams. Any “over the top” behavior is a real possibility now.

The Moon’s annual monthly conjunction to serious Saturn (9:50 pm) does act as an effective antidote to the Moon Jupiter square, bringing us back swiftly to the steady drumbeat of reality. But, it could also work to blot out our perspective if we focus too much on what is missing in our life, and forget to focus on all the positives that we have going on. With this last aspect, the Moon also goes void-of-course in mysterious Scorpio until 11:21 pm when it enters upbeat Sagittarius.

Intellectual Mercury quinqunx controlling Pluto can get us a little too preoccupied with our thoughts. If we recognize that we are obsessing about something, that should be a clear signal to us to take a time out and regroup.

Astrology June 10, 2011: “Love’s Illusion” Venus Square Neptune

COSMIC WATCH:

“Creating fantasy is a very personal thing, but you can’t take the process too seriously.” Joseph Barbera

Sweetheart Venus in lighthearted Gemini encounters veiled, deceptive Neptune in the murky waters of Pisces. That means things could be a little “fishy” for us today as we try to navigate our way through the relationship stream.  With Venus-Neptune, we often see things in others, magical traits or properties, that are not really there. We are also more willing to mask any flaws that others may have now, which is something that could come back to haunt us, if we’re not careful.

Fortunately for us today, though, we also have the Moon in relationship Libra conjunct “reality guru” Saturn (12:01 pm EDT). This insightful aspect should help us to cut through Neptune’s “purple haze” to arrive at a “clearer perspective.” Sobering Saturn never shies away from “telling it like it is,” and he has characteristically very little tolerance for Neptune’s desire for immersion in psychedelic fairy tales. 🙂

January 26, 2011 Mercury Square Saturn “A Reality Check” Daily Horoscope

“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” Albert Einstein

COSMIC WEATHER:

Goal-keeper Saturn, the only planet with a hit “reality show” that we all despise, but watch anyway because we have no choice in the matter, stations retrograde today (1:11 am EST) at 17 degrees of nuptials Libra. The plot thickens even more here because mental Mercury, also positioned in Saturn’s subdued, medicated Capricorn, is forming an exact square to the old fart. 🙂 (See my earlier blog on Saturn retrograde in Libra for more sizzlin’ details.)

What this may mean for all of us is that we could be in for a big “reality check” today with our thinking, especially if we’ve been drinking too much of Neptune’s delusional Kool-aid instead of doing our proper due diligence.  Mercury-Saturn stands ready to show us the weakness and foolishness of our ideas, and is ready to send us back to the drawing board, if need be, for workable, “reality-based” solutions that take into consideration our tiny budgets and meager talents. We are empowered now by “facing the music” and recognizing the “folly” of our previous ways, and dutifully confessing our sins. No more profligate lifestyle. Only generic brands, generic prescriptions for us. We may still occasionally feast on pie, but no more pie ala mode. At least for a while. Saturn wants us to be “lean and mean” and to show a profit, at which time he will smile. Broadly.

Mercury-Saturn: “No, we cannot pass ‘Go.’ No, we do not get to collect $200. And, if we don’t come up shortly with some practical thought applications that appease authority figures, we could wind up in Monopoly jail doing hard labor, losing both Boardwalk and Park Place to foreclosure!”

In addition, the Moon is holed up all day long in deep, dark, foreboding Scorpio, making us feel totally like we’re in existential hell, with few choices or options around us. (This is not true, but Pluto-ruled Scorpio is always full of drama, angst, and darkness.) We’re forced to frightfully crawl into the tarantula infested caves for dubious shelter. Looking desperately for Mick Jagger and Keith Richards to assuage and soothe our Saturnian-induced pain and guilt, one more time. How about it, guys? Will you be the light at the end of the gloomy cave for us today, and help us to emotionally regenerate and heal? Pretty please?

“Are you sure that a floor can’t also be a ceiling?” M.C. Escher
