Astrology July 3, 2012: Full Moon in Capricorn

“Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then, do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.” – Margaret Young

COSMIC WATCH:

Full Moons provide us with a chance for full illumination. They are also a time when we are urged to let go of whatever is holding us back. Today’s Full Moon in ambitious Capricorn (2:52 pm EDT), the sign associated with outer achievement, affords us a chance to see how we are honoring our inner self (Cancer) by our life’s work (Capricorn). Or maybe through an avocation.

With today’s Full Moon conjunct perceptive Pluto, we will likely be receiving some kind of feedback about how our present outer path is or is not aligned with what we sense is our soul’s special destiny. Pluto’s activated ray can be very insightful as it helps us to experience what is at our inner core, with Pluto governing our subconscious side. Pluto is also thought to be connected to our past lives, so there could be elements from our karmic past now that are unfolding around us that we should maybe be paying closer attention to.

The Moon-Pluto conjunction may also fill us with a deeper sense of our own power, along with corresponding knowledge of what we must do for ourselves now if we are to continue to progress in the world as our soul originally intended. This Full Moon is also supplying us with a chance perhaps to do some tweaking or revising (Pluto) of our worldly goals and ambitions. Moon-Pluto, at its highest expression, can be very healing and regenerating, but sometimes the playing field must first be leveled for the healing and rebirth to take place.

We may also be receiving fresh insights now into the impact of our early roots (Cancer) upon our lives in the present. This could be due to certain incidents occurring around us that ignite our memories. Also, with rebellious Uranus squaring this Full Moon we may become keenly aware of a need to move beyond some of our early conditioning (Cancer), especially with respect to what we were maybe taught about what was or was not possible for us to achieve in the world (Capricorn).

Enterprising Mars, the planet of initiative, is also shifting into diplomatic Libra today, the sign of “the other.” What this suggests is that we can likely achieve much more now by working together, in the coming weeks ahead, instead of flying solo on our own. “If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.” Henry Ford

There may also be some exhilarating things happening for us on the personal relationship front as this lunation is also housing lovable Venus in sextile aspect to electrifying Uranus. A time when sudden romance can crop up in the most unexpected of places. “If grass can grow through cement, love can find you at every time in your life.” Cher

The house in our chart that contains the Full Moon in Capricorn is the area of our life that is likely reaching a culminating point for us now. It is also that part of our lives where we may want to be emptying ourselves of what is no longer useful to us. This can also include ridding ourselves of attitudes and self-limiting beliefs that no longer serve us. The Full Moon’s impact lasts two weeks till the next New Moon.

How do you define success? What do you sense that you were born to do? What are you most proud of accomplishing? What one thing do you still want to achieve more than anything else in your life? How do you think the people in your life are helping you to realize your destiny? What could you do to help others to succeed now?

Happy Full Moon blessings!

COSMIC WATCH:

The confident Aries Moon encourages us to spearhead things on our own, although it’s sextile to social Venus (5:40 pm EDT) and opposition to instructive Saturn (5:44 pm EDT) suggests that we may also have much to learn from relationships now. Venus in retrograde motion trine Saturn may also find us reflecting on earlier times and what might have been.  “We loved with a love that was more than love.” Edgar Allen Poe

Astrology May 15, 2012: Venus Stations Retrograde in Gemini

15 Tuesday May 2012

COSMIC WATCH:

“Love must be as much a light, as it is a flame.” Henry David Thoreau

Lovable Venus stations retrograde at 24 degrees of Gemini (10:33 am EDT). It will remain retrograde until June 27. During Venus’s apparent backward dance in the sky we have a chance to carefully reflect upon and critique all the areas that Venus governs: our romantic life; the way we socialize or interact with others; the values we espouse and hold dear to our heart; the aspects of our life that provide us with pleasure or beauty. Venus also presides over our attitudes towards money and possessions.

Traditionally, the retrograde phase of a planet is a time when it is normally advised to postpone any important decision-making regarding the affairs ruled by that planet, as the theory is that the final verdict or takeaway on a matter will not be known until the planet resumes direct motion again.

Venus goes retrograde every 18 months. The last time that it went retrograde in Gemini was on May 17, 2004. Fascinatingly, back then on that very date, is when the state of Massachusetts issued the first, fully legal, same-sex marriage licenses in the United States (Venus rules marriage). Now once again, just days prior to Venus going retrograde in this same sign, the sign of the twins, more history has been made on this same issue with President Obama openly coming out in support of same-sex marriage, the first U.S. president to do so. Rather interesting, isn’t it, to see the progression on this matter?

Wonder, too, if Gemini, given its versatility, curiosity, and dual nature, might have more of a proclivity for same-sex unions? Or at least a higher toleration or acceptance of such relationships? What do you think? Also, might Venus retrograde itself indicate more of a tendency to embrace non-traditional relationships, as when a planet goes retrograde there can be a turning away or distancing from what is deemed to be more customary behavior?

How important is it for you that your relationships meet with the approval or sanction of others? Of society? What is the dream of love for your life?

Astrology April 6, 2012: Full Moon in Libra

06 Friday Apr 2012

COSMIC WATCH:

“Speaking with kindness creates confidence, thinking with kindness creates profoundness, giving with kindness creates love.” Lao Tzu

How are you showing up for your relationships? Are you approaching them from a place of kindness, which Lao Tzu suggests engenders more love? Or are you perhaps showing up more from a place of fear? Demonstrating worry or skepticism are states of being that have been known to cause alienation or an erosion of love.

With today’s Full Moon in “relationship” Libra (3:19 pm EDT), the sign of the scales, which is also the sign of peace and diplomacy, we have a perfect chance to glean greater awareness of how it is that we tend to interact with others. Or how we are characteristically choosing to be present in our relationships, and how the nature of our being with others delicately dictates or threads the fabric and outcome of those interactions.

We may even want to pay closer attention to the matter of our physiology. Are we full of energy in the presence of others, or are we listless? Do we have enthusiasm in our voice when we speak, or do we sound half-hearted, like we would rather be someplace else? Too, what are we conveying to others through our body talk? Are we maybe saying one thing to them with our words, but then communicating something entirely different with our physical presence? How can we explain this gap to ourselves, and to others? What is it all about, and how is it impacting our relationships? All possibly excellent “food for fodder” topics with this “balancing” Libra Moon.

This Full Moon in social Libra is also ruled by sweet Venus, which is presently in curious Gemini and square to both assertive Mars and elusive Neptune. It could be that there is, indeed, some ambivalence about our passions and desires now. Also, perhaps a tendency to look at others through the proverbial “rose-colored glasses,” a dreamy state which often carries more of a negative connotation for us – although, a rose in bloom is a really beautiful thing to behold. So maybe a little illusion about others now, isn’t such a bad thing after all!

“It doesn’t matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was.” Anne Sexton

Happy Full Moon blessings!

COSMIC WATCH:

“A beautiful thing happens when we start paying attention to each other. It is by participating more in your relationship that you breathe life into it.” Steve Maraboli.

It may also be a bit easier for us to mingle now, or at least to strike up conversation with each other, as “connection queen” Venus enters “communication” Gemini today, a sign where she is not only blessed with the gift of gab, but is also more naturally curious about other people. Venus here has a breezier style in relationships and often feels most comfortable when things are kept casual or friendly. Venus will stay in Gemini until August 7.

Famous People with Venus in Gemini:  Russell Crowe, Sandra Bullock, John Goodman, Cher.

“I don’t need a man. But I’m happier with one. I like to have someone I can touch and squeeze and kiss. But I don’t fold up and die if I don’t have a man around.” Cher

What do you think inspires a “spirit of communication” in relationships?

Astrology March 6, 2012: Venus Sextiles Neptune

COSMIC WATCH:

The “warm” Leo Moon makes it easier for us to be magnanimous. Sweet Venus also sextiles idealistic Neptune. What we desire now in romance, and relationships, in general, may be more of a coming together on the “soul level,” with Neptune signifying “spiritualized love.” This is also a good day to give voice to the “thriving artist” within us, as Venus-Neptune is potentially highly creative energy. Neptune governs our imagination, and Venus rules our sense of beauty. The dramatic Leo Moon also provides us with solid footing to do things with extra flair.

Later, the Moon’s entrance into analytical Virgo supports us in examining the fine details of matters.  “The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual’s own reason and critical analysis.” Dalai Lama.

Astrology February 15, 2012: Venus Squares Pluto

15 Wednesday Feb 2012

Posted by in Astrology February 1 2012

, , , , , , , ,

COSMIC WATCH:

The “philosophical” Sagittarius Moon prompts us to take a “big picture view” of things. The ruler of Sagittarius, expansive Jupiter, is also in a 135-degree alignment with energetic Mars. This Mars-Jupiter influence can give rise to unbridled enthusiasm which can result in our going a little bit overboard, if we are not careful. We can, however, turn this energy into a win-win situation for ourselves by simply not over-committing our time or resources and practicing some restraint in what we say and do.

Venus, ruling relationships, is also square to intense Pluto, which governs the realm of our subconscious. With this Venus-Pluto aspect, buried or suppressed feelings tend to emerge, clamoring for our attention like a young child. While we may be very wise to acknowledge their presence and reflect upon why they are surfacing now, and what they have to teach us, we must also keep in mind that they are only temporary house guests passing through and not permanent residents we are stuck with, particularly if the emotions that are arising now are more of a shadow nature.

On the plus side, Venus-Pluto can be very insightful for fostering awareness concerning how we may need to change or restructure our relationships in order to allow for more personal growth within those alliances. We may also want to keep in mind today that all of our power comes from within and by trying to control other people only serves to ultimately dis-empower us in the end. Another shadow manifestation of Venus-Pluto can be a tendency to use manipulation with others to achieve our own ends instead of honoring and respecting other people’s boundaries and desires. Too, we often act this way when we are feeling threatened or are fearful of losing the love that we desire. “Ultimately, the only power to which man should aspire is that which he exercises over himself.” Elie Wiesel

COSMIC WATCH:

With the Moon in “balancing” Libra, the sign of the scales, it may be easier for us to weigh our options, or to stand in different perspectives today. That’s one reason why the backdrop of the Libra Moon is normally regarded as favorable for collaboration or mediation, as we are usually better able to glean or entertain opposing viewpoints with it. Too, often by merely playing around with or shifting our perceptions, we may discover that we feel more energy inside of us. We quite literally become charged by the new possibilities. “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” Wayne Dyer. Of course, the Libra Moon can also make us, on the shadow side, a little more indecisive as a result of seeing more choices on our plate, although if we tune in and follow our heart we will know what course to take.

The ruler of the Moon in Libra, sweet Venus, is also harmonious to abundant Jupiter suggesting that pleasure is well within our reach, especially if we reach for what we desire. “Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.” Michael Jordan

February 11 Birthdays: Sarah Palin, Jennifer Aniston, Burt Reynolds (Burt also has a Libra Moon)

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon is in social, romantic Libra all day, the sign of “the other.”  Always an ideal template for us to “partner up,” or “pool our efforts.”  A great metaphor for the Libra Moon is a lovely quote from the late French poet, Marceline Desbordes-Valmore: “Are we not like two volumes of one book?” Too, when we do unite or come together we pave the way for an energizing, magical synergy to emerge.

“Synergy is the highest activity of life; it creates new untapped alternatives; it values and exploits the mental, emotional, and psychological differences between people.” Stephen Covey

What action could bring you closer to others today?

COSMIC WATCH:

Romantic and business relationships have a chance to solidify today and we may also feel that our hopes and wishes are finally achievable as love goddess, Venus, forms a flowing, creative trine with stabilizing Saturn and also a conjunction with dreamy, idealistic Neptune. Intellectual Mercury is also making its annual conjunction with probing Pluto helping to intensify and focus our thinking. The Mercury-Pluto aspect additionally gives us a chance to don our detective hat and possibly solve or put to rest some long-standing riddles. Too, the Moon is in a supportive role in analytical Virgo the entire day.

“All genius is a conquering of chaos and mystery.” Otto Weininger
