COSMIC WEATHER:
“Connection queen” Venus, symbolizing the urge for love and beauty in our lives, is forming a powerhouse conjunction to “passionate” Pluto in “worldly ambitious” Capricorn on Feb. 9, 2011 at 8:49 pm EST. Our relationships (Venus) can serve as potent transformers (Pluto) for us now, with Pluto governing the urge for regeneration or renewal.
We potentially have more of a palpable need for intense emotional (Pluto) experiences with this configuration, especially on the romantic and social fronts (Venus). But, perhaps, even in the boardroom (Capricorn). What has been buried and hidden in our subconscious (Pluto), our deepest sequestered desires and feelings, could suddenly rise to the surface now, filtering through to our conscious awareness, beckoning us for immediate processing or at least closer scrutiny.
It could also be a turning point time for us, in terms of coming to an understanding about what we need from others in the way of love or intimacy. May also include some “aha” moments regarding what we may be able to give or commit to where others are concerned. Too, Venus-Pluto can, on occasion, bring us our “soul mates,” or important hookups from our past (Pluto). Even new, short-term relationships are more likely to impact or transfix us on a deeper emotional level now.
Because Pluto also has to do with the urge for power and control, the shadow element of this aspect could find us acting more on the manipulative or possessive side, especially if we feel that our relationships are being threatened or undermined in any way. Venus-Pluto can be very jealous and demanding. Especially in authoritative Capricorn.
Too, sometimes we try to selfishly capitalize on our relationship ties with Venus-Pluto. There can be more of an emotional desperation about us for varied reasons. We may not even consciously know what is driving us (subconscious Pluto). Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, for example, was reportedly “caught” trying to sell access to her former husband Prince Andrew on a day when Venus-Pluto was forming a tight aspect in the sky. Remember that incident? Many of us were really taken aback by that event. Simultaneously, it was a tragic thing to witness, the descent of Fergie all captured on film. Also, several months ago, the weird story of the “Balloon Boy” unfolded with a Venus-Pluto transit. That was another story that emotionally gripped many of us and played upon our sympathies. I can still see that balloon crossing the sky in my mind’s eye over a rural section of Colorado. Like so many, I was personally hoping that if there was a little boy inside the balloon, that he would be alright.
In another instance and on another level, Lady Gaga, who could be described as very “Venus-Pluto,” for her magnetic sensuality and provocative stage persona as an artist (Venus rules artists and entertainers), walked away during an awards ceremony in Hollywood last year with, I believe, eight awards, effectively “stealing the show,” on the very same day that Venus and Pluto were exact in the sky. A perfect day to “make a big splash” before the collective.
Venus also rules money and possessions. Aligned with domineering Pluto (Pluto denotes other people’s resources), we want to make sure that we are in general agreement with our mate or partner on how to spend or invest our joint resources before making major moves on our own now. With Venus-Pluto there could also be opportunity to transform or overhaul our financial situation, but we do want to make sure that we do the necessary due diligence here before shifting things around.
Too, with Venus-Pluto conjoined in status-conscious Capricorn, this may be a pivotal time to network on the business or professional front, as we are potentially more capable of making a potent (Pluto) impact on others. We, of course, do need to keep mindful of the image that we are projecting outward and that it frames us favorably. We definitely do not want to be “acting out” too emotionally in public, as that could actually destabilize our image now, or notoriously besmirch our reputation (Capricorn).

COSMIC WEATHER:
A much ballyhooed “New Moon in Aquarius” is taking place later today (9:31 pm EST). New Moons herald in new beginnings (see my earlier blog post on this lunation for all the dazzling details).
The Sun and Moon are conjoined “male energizer bunny” Mars in “reinvent yourself” Aquarius and also trine to “stabilizer” Saturn in “olive branch” Libra. What this cryptically means for all of us is that it is an excellent time to “take initiative” and to also be “innovative.” We will be rewarded accordingly, if we also are wise enough to incorporate some strategic planning into the equation and also seek out experienced counsel for close collaboration (Saturn in Libra).
This is a very cool time to showcase and cultivate our uniqueness and demonstrate to the world what sets us apart from the pack. Especially for the areas of life (the house) that this New Moon falls in, in our personal horoscope. At the same time, we may also find immersion in group activities (Aquarius) another liberating source of self-expression. Mentally we are capable of brilliance with Mercury sextile original thinker Uranus. Our intuition is on overdrive now and on target, so we need to pay close attention to it.
Also connection queen Venus is square freedom-loving Uranus, making our love life perhaps unpredictable, but potentially more exciting. We’re more attracted to wacky, oddball types now, so we need to keep this in mind before we run off and elope with the sexy lion tamer at the circus.
Too, romantic fantasies also reign supreme as Venus is forming a sextile to “all of our personal woes would dramatically recede, if we could only date George Clooney” Neptune, our savior. Venus-Neptune can signify hot, passionate romance with Hollywood stars (Neptune rules actors), and, of course, we are obligingly taking that translation very literally here. 🙂

“When men and women are able to respect and accept their differences then love has a chance to blossom.” John Gray
Love goddess Venus enters stabilizing Capricorn on February 4th, where she will be firmly anchored until March 2nd. With Venus situated in cautious Saturn’s terrain, and Saturn in Libra – also in Venus’ home turf (mutual reception) – there is more of a pragmatic quality to our relationships.
While Venus in Capricorn can be personally ambitious and may yearn to be highly regarded, she may also be seeking something more enduring romantically. With Saturn ruling time, the focus may naturally be more on longevity/long-term commitments.
Venus in Capricorn can be loyal and faithful; there may also be a certain reserve or shyness. Self-made types who hold visible positions of power may also hold special appeal for Venus in Capricorn.
With Venus symbolizing, money, possessions, and what we value, Venus in Capricorn may be more conservative in the outlay of cash and also searching more for quality and substance over quantity and frills. We may also be more interested in traditional types of investments.
Capricorn also rules our professional life, and Venus deposited here may bring more success to us on the career front. Potentially a good time for networking to further our career ambitions.

COSMIC WEATHER:
The Moon continues in adventurous Sagittarius, beckoning us to move outside of our comfort zones. Hopefully, we’re up to this challenge. We should also do things that we are truly enthusiastic about today. Sagittarius energy is animated and spontaneous. It doesn’t like to be repressed.
Also, it’s a great day for growing our social connections. We’re definitely poised to “feel the love,” and need to additionally be “spreading the love” around now. This is because the Sadge Moon is making her monthly meet-up with seductive love goddess Venus (10:18 pm EST). Our power of attraction sizzles!!! 🙂

“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to reach my destination.” Jimmy Dean
Saturn, the taskmaster planet, who takes it upon himself to provide us with a “reality check,” whether we want it or not, turns retrograde in relationship Libra on January 26th (1:11 am EST) at 17 degrees. It will go direct again in mid-June at 9 degrees of Libra. It originally entered Libra in the fall of 2009, then retrograded out of it for a while.
Basically, we “review” or “revisit” matters during retrograde periods, and attend to “unfinished business.” Since Saturn denotes our goals, with the retrograde wrinkle, we are re-assessing our goals, reconfiguring our strategies to get ahead. Saturn also represents our resolve, hard work, self-discipline, and determination. With Saturn retrograde in Libra, the sign of “the other,” we are seriously eyeing and re-evaluating our long-term relationships, the next few months. In some cases, we may be firming them up. In other instances, there may be break-ups, or a parting of the ways.
Overall, Saturn in Libra is a period when we tend to “realize our goals” by working more in conjunction or collaboration with others. We also become more aware of how we get along with others, in general, on a one-to-one basis, as well as developing a greater awareness about what our relationships mean to us, and the corresponding work that they entail. Saturn stays in Libra until October of 2012.
Also, when Saturn first stations retrograde, and for a few days afterwards, our affairs often seem to come to a crawl or a standstill. This “slowing down period” may seem especially frustrating to us now, as expansive, optimistic Jupiter just moved into adventurous Aries and is ready to roll.
Additionally, mental Mercury is forming a tense square to Saturn, when it goes retrograde, which could result in misunderstandings or communication snafus. We may want to be more patient in our dialogue with others now, and perhaps take more time to listen to what is being said. Also, it’s a time when we are well-served not to make too many assumptions, or to rashly pass judgment. With Mercury-Saturn, we sometimes tend to expect the worst and our focus can be too narrow.
Of course, we will also want to take note of the particular house in our birth chart that Saturn is stationing retrograde in, for more insight on how this retro period may personally play out for us. For instance, if we have Saturn transiting through our second house of money, relationships involving money or possessions, may be most impacted. We may also be re-thinking our financial strategies. In the tenth house, our career relationships would be emphasized. We may also be re-evaluating, tinkering with our professional goals. And so forth.
Fascinatingly, Saturn is stationing retrograde exactly conjunct Oprah Winfrey‘s tenth house of career at 17 degrees of Libra now, as she gets ready to wrap up her daily television show this season, as well as continue with the fresh launch of her own television network (OWN). Saturn will cross back over into Oprah’s career house, in September of 2011, and will be exactly conjunct that house again, when she signs off her daily talk show for good, on September 9th.
Transiting Saturn on the tenth house often coincides with professional endings, as well as sometimes powerful new beginnings built upon our prior experience. It can also denote the “height of achievement” of a person’s life, in terms of notable success in the “outer world” which is Saturn-ruled. With Saturn (Lord of Karma) at the very top of her chart, Oprah is leaving behind her successful daily, top-rated talk show that helped to make her the richest woman in the world for her new focus with OWN. She is embarking upon an important new chapter in her life, while simultaneously being universally recognized by the world (Saturn) for her crowning achievement in broadcasting, a very rich “legacy” that Saturn and the tenth house are also associated with. The Saturn-ruled tenth house is our reputation, our standing in the community, and “the mark” that we leave on the world. During the retrograde phase now, she is likely going to be reflecting on all her 10th house accomplishments and also seriously re-assessing some things, perhaps deciding what to keep with her in her next phase at OWN, and what to release. Possibly cutting some relationship ties around her work, strengthening other ones. Intently focusing on, reconfiguring her business and career goals.

“It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.”Roy Disney
COSMIC WEATHER:
Today, with the Moon continuing her romp in “well-coiffured” Libra, the sign of the scales, we will want to carefully weigh the “pros and cons” of things before politely rendering our decisions. Or, for that matter, airing our humble views or opinions. Too, as alluded to in the Roy Disney quote above: When we know our values, it is often easier to formulate our decisions, to decide our course of action. Also, it may be foolish for us to try to dispute clear and obvious facts (Moon square Mercury).
Later, the Moon’s “potent” monthly meet-up with “reality kingpin” Saturn (11:37 pm EST), in partnership Libra, may also coincide with our having to “face the music” with respect to the nature of our relationships. Our obligations and responsibilities to others may require swift, diplomatic (Libra) action. It is also probably best to avoid power struggles (Moon square Pluto), although there may be a real need for firmness (Saturn) on our part.
We may also want to, additionally, reflect on the whole matter of how we go about getting our needs met from others. Is our strategy here, working for us? Or do we maybe need to revise it? Saturn is also getting ready to turn retrograde on January 26th, a period when we will likely be giving this matter, much further thought.

“There may be snow on the roof, but there’s fire in the furnace!” Unknown Source
COSMIC WEATHER (January 23, 2011)
The Moon wraps up her stay in “pristine” Virgo with an opposition to “loose cannon” Uranus (3:09 pm EST), in “passive-aggressive” Pisces, who is privately toying with the idea of clandestinely tracking mud and dirt all over the Virgo Moon’s freshly-vacuumed carpet, so as to see what kind of wicked response it would elicit from the ole’ nocturnal lady. “Oh, my, Uranus. You are an evil one!” 🙂
Later, the “now-ruffled” Moon finally settles into “last chance for romance” Libra (7:00 pm EST). Party invitations are eloquently text-messaged to aging baby-boomers, desperate for love, to pop on over tonight for an impromptu get-together at the Moon in Libra’s elegant pad. This is because “love goddess” Venus, the ruler of Libra, now in “outgoing” Sagittarius, is exactly sextile to “geriatric” Saturn, in “relationship” Libra, portending the rare, rare opportunity for sudden, wild romance now, for the above 50 crowd. Yes, indeed, it really could happen! Get out there and mingle at the bingo parlor! You sexy thing, you!
“Venus sextile Saturn” is, generally, a more “stabilizing” time for all of us, with respect to our relationships. A period when we are usually also more “receptive” to the idea of commitment. Commitment, of course, often provides us with more of a sense of security (Saturn), which is something that is much more appealing to us now as a concept.

“Love is like the truth, sometimes it prevails, sometimes it hurts.” Victor M. Garcia, Jr.
Cosmic Weather:
Moon continues in tender-hearted, hippie bead stringing Pisces. Until further notice, we are advised to continue with the meditative chant and incense-burning. But we may want to moderate our intake of certain kinds of brownies. Specifically the funny-smelling ones made by our more leftist-leaning friends. This is due to the addictive nature of the Piscean Moon.
Too, it is expected and acknowledged that we will be compassionately taking in stray pets and animals. However, it may be a good idea to steer clear of, or at least be very cautious about, giving shelter to any pitiful, stray males, of the human variety, as doing so, at this time, could come with a whole host of obscure and difficult entanglements. Don’t even get me started here on this thorny topic. Especially after last night! 🙂
This is mainly because we have love child Venus in “spur of the moment sex” Sagittarius semi-square “wet blanket” Saturn in conjugal Libra. Venus-Saturn often represents “obligatory or enforced closeness” with critical or cold-hearted types we don’t really like or cannot figure out. We also have the emotional Moon quinqunx Saturn, potentially rubbing more salt into the relationship wounds (8:03 am EST).
On the positive side, we later catch a very nice break with the Moon sextile Capricorn Sun (12:20 pm EST) imbuing us, once again, with a heady and comforting sense of our own power and authority.
A few questions to perhaps ask ourselves today:
How do we characteristically deal with difficult people? Are we able to confront them and stand our own ground? Or, do we tend to implode and let them run roughshod over us?
How do we handle criticism or rejection, especially from loved ones?
Do we tend to stay in relationships long after their recommended expiration dates? If so, is this because we feel dutifully bound to do so? Or, is it because we are more fearful of moving on? Are security issues keeping us in limited relationships (this can often be the case with Venus-Saturn)?
Do we expect love? Do we feel worthy of love? What is our most lovable feature?
Have we given any thought to becoming a nun, as a sensible, simple solution to all of our dire romantic problems? You know, the Pisces Moon does rule convents and nunneries. “Get thee to a nunnery!” William Shakespeare. Yes, William, the cosmic timing may be right for this!

“To laugh often and love much…to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to give one’s self…this is to have succeeded.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love goddess Venus, governing money and relationships, flits into friendly, high-flying Sagittarius on January 7th, where she will stay until February 4th. In Sadge, we become more freedom-loving, more lighthearted. We turn off the surveillance cameras (installed during Venus in Scorpio), because we are no longer naturally suspicious. We are much more trusting with this Venus placement, wanting to believe the best in others. We are also back to openly flirting and joking around. However, please don’t try to tie us down. There’s way too much of the world to see, and so little time. We are capable of commitment, but we would definitely prefer to be friends first.
Venus in Sagittarius does love to travel and explore, so this is a good period for us to book that flight or cruise, and get away. Sadge Venus also has a soft spot for people from other cultures. There can be a real love of languages, learning, philosophy, religion, politics, and writing. We may also feel more of a need to express our higher beliefs and viewpoints in our relationships now. Politicians, lawyers, writers, used car salesman, promoters, advertising sales reps, teachers (Sadge professions), may all be more romantically appealing to us. We are also more optimistic about our money prospects, and there may be more of an upside to our monetary affairs. Especially around January 23rd, when Venus favorably meets up with stabilizing Saturn.
Venus in Sadge Quote: “Mr. President. Tear down those walls!!! Free us from the shackles and handcuffs. Remove the secret recording devices in the phones. Venus in Scorpio has left the building!!!
Celebrities with Venus in Sagittarius: Jane Fonda, Whoopi Goldberg, Tina Turner, Christina Aguilera, David Bowie, Kevin Costner.

“You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.”Albert Einstein
The Universe must have great confidence in our multi-tasking abilities. Unless, it’s deliberately being sadistic with us! What I am alluding to here is the fact that we have several potent aspects stacked up on our plates today to existentially grapple with. Of course, the real biggie is the New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse at 13 degrees 39 minutes of Capricorn, the first lunation of the new year. We have six eclipses on tap for this year: four partial solar and two total lunar. We haven’t had this many partial solar eclipses in one year since 1982, the same year that Michael Jackson released “Thriller,” the biggest selling album of all time. Also, that was the year that the Vietnam Memorial was formally dedicated in Washington D.C., occurring only a few days before MJ’s “Thriller” release in late November 1982.
Ironically, the original chairman of the Vietnam Memorial project, John Wheeler, was found murdered this past New Year’s eve. His body was tragically found in a landfill in Delaware. Also, today, it’s kind of weird, but Dr. Conrad Murray begins to testify in a pre-trial hearing in a court in LA with respect to MJ’s death. Of course, neither of these events have anything to do with the eclipse today. Just two interesting parallels that I thought I’d point out, since I happened to stumble upon them by accident, when I was reviewing events in 1982 in Wikipedia for this blog today.
Solar and lunar eclipses are special new and full moons. They often usher in notable events, for both individuals and the collective. Eclipses often “speed things up.” They can suddenly open up new doors for us. Monthly new moons traditionally denote new opportunities, with the eclipse being somewhat the equivalent of a new moon on steroids. The impact of an eclipse can last up to six months. Too, sometimes the affects of an eclipse are not felt immediately.
The few days right before the eclipse are especially highly-charged, and it is on those days when we really want to think about, and formulate, our new moon intentions, and make time for serious prayer and meditation. Especially advisable for single women now: Profoundly meditating on the sacred image of George Clooney. This is largely because George also has his natal Moon in Capricorn, closely conjunct cautious Saturn. Just thought I’d throw that in here. So George doesn’t think we’re completely abandoning him, caught up in all the momentary hoopla of the red hot eclipse. 🙂 (Also, at this end of this blog, I have included a bit about a real-life dream that I just had about GC, if you’re interested in reading about it. It was really, more like a nightmare!)
Those who have planets or horoscope angles from 10 to 17 degrees of the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), will likely be most impacted by this eclipse. Also, all of us need to note the house in our birth charts where the eclipse is occurring, as the affairs of that house now are definitely being energized, and likely awaiting prompt, eager response from our delicate little brains.
Of course, whether any of this “opening door” stuff will also coincide with the miraculous arrival of the Publisher’s Clearing House sweepstakes crew to our front door, is highly doubtful. Although, we should never entirely give up hope here. I, for instance, just ordered 320 new magazines for the year in an earnest bid to effortlessly guide the PCH folks to the exact location of my house. I also have pictures of the late, great Ed McMahon, posted on my street mailbox, and in them he’s further pointing the way to my front door, as I have known about this eclipse for many months now and its’ possible ramifications for my life, if I take certain, drastic measures.
Capricorn is symbolized by the goat climbing up the mountain, with the mountain personifying success. Capricorn wants to be successful in whatever it does, so this eclipse new moon will likely have the net affect of firing up our ambitions. It’s the perfect time to really get going on our new year’s resolutions, be it to lose weight, or become chairman of the board. Win the PCH sweepstakes.
Arianna Huffington, in her “Sunday Roundup” at The Huffington Post on Sunday, mentioned that, this year, she was “deleting” some things from her resolution list, that she earlier thought she would do one day, but realizes now that she will never do. She is checking these resolutions off “as complete,” and crossing them off her list, so she can focus on “freeing up space for those projects” she is truly committed to. This is very reflective of the typical Capricornian-mindset, which is very utilitarian and realistic in its approach.
Also read in the Wall Street Journalthat Oprah Winfrey doesn’t even make resolutions anymore. She was quoted in there as saying: “I don’t make them, because I live in the space that I’m in right now. I move with the flow, live in the moment.” I guess, that approach also has its useful (Capricorn) advantages to it, as with that philosophy, you are maximizing, or at least attempting to anyway, what the present has to offer, instead of focusing on a future that is not at all guaranteed. Although, Capricorn also tends to be very cautious, likes to always have a plan in place, and is generally not very impromptu.
A Capricorn eclipse most likely will not bring us rapid fire gains, but rather signifies success as a result of self-discipline, commitment, hard work, and being pragmatic. Capricorn is not comfortable getting dragged into any obscure, or pie-in-the-sky endeavors. It wants to know, from the get-go, what it is dealing with. This may be especially the case, this go-round, as the eclipse forms a tight square with Karma Lord Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn. Saturn perennially delights in holding our feet to the fire, making us accountable. Both Saturn, and Capricorn, are totally turned off by irresponsibility. It could be, too, that this eclipse coincides with a more difficult time for persons in positions of power or management. Especially for those who have been under-performing, as Capricorn rules authority figures, and the Sun denotes leadership.
With the “Saturn square,” too, we tend to be more critical (Saturn) of our leaders and higher-ups, much less willing to cut them any slack. Could be, too, this eclipse is a catalyst for changes in many corporate boardrooms around the world. Changes that could even trickle down to the local PTA hierarchy level. Maybe even into our own workplace offices. Of course, we also have the new U.S. Congress taking office, this week, with a Republican-controlled House, voted in on an apparent mandate to cut spending (synonymous with this Capricorn eclipse more “budget-minded” mentality).
Too, it appears that Capt. Owen Honors of the USS Enterprise is going to be officially relieved of his duties, perhaps as early as today, for airing lewd videos for his crew aboard the aircraft. While this airing actually occurred a few years ago, his activities were only really publicly brought to light on the eve of the eclipse. Fascinatingly, Jupiter and Uranus are exactly conjunct in Pisces now, the zodiacal sign which rules film-making. Jupiter-Uranus can bring about sudden revelations!
The Jupiter and Uranus exact conjunction in watering hole Pisces (7:50 am EST) is, in fact, a big player in today’s lunation chart. These two guys have become pretty good drinking buddies, as of late. They have been basically paired up with each other for the last six months or so. Mostly in caring, underdog, dreamy Pisces, a short time in adventurous Aries. They are both headed back to Aries this year. Jupiter and Uranus won’t be conjunct again, however, until 2024. So this aspect is big news.
Again, Jupiter-Uranus can bring sudden breakthroughs (esp. in science, technology, internet) that significantly change or alter the playing field, both individually and collectively. Mentally, we may also envision grander possibilities for ourselves, perhaps see things in a totally new light. This is because Jupiter tends to expand or grow our consciousness. It is the planet of opportunity and abundance. Innovator Uranus, denotes change, and sudden flashes of genius and intuition. Uranus additionally rules humanitarian causes, and equality issues. Pisces, too, is a very compassionate sign. President Obama, for instance, just signed a big bill on Monday to give 9/11 first responders health care benefits. Was there ever a group more deserving? I don’t think so. It is also very exciting that we have this upbeat conjunction in place with this more practical Capricorn eclipse, as it gives us a desire to dream big (Pisces rules dreams), yet at the same time we are aware that we must work hard to turn our dreams into reality.
Additionally with this Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in place, we recently saw the historic repeal of the DADT bill in the U.S., which prevented gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military, a big leap forward for our nation, in my opinion. Another example of Uranus coming to the plate for us for equality and civil rights issues. I also mentioned in the last eclipse report for late Dec., that this same conjunction in 1969 in the sign of Libra coincided with the first “Moon walk,” yet another leap for all of mankind.
Also, there was more news, yesterday, of a possibly big breakthrough in cancer screening, in which even just one cancer cell may be able to be detected in the body. Wouldn’t that be great? How many lives might be saved with early detection? My mother sadly died of cancer on January 3, 1996. I also lost my husband to cancer. Who among us had not lost somebody to cancer? I wager to say, none of us.
To discern this conjunction’s magical meaning in our own lives, we should look to see the house that it is falling in, in our personal charts, to see where we may be experiencing sudden breakthroughs, or be arriving at fresh new understandings. Maybe even where miracles may be occurring. And, of course, we may have been already experiencing some of these things for the last several months, as this is the final phase of this opportunity cycle. Also, those persons who have planets or angles in their horoscopes at 27 degrees of the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) are going to be impacted the most by this final pairing of these two planets. I have my Jupiter at 27 Gemini, so, I guess, I am among the “chosen few” here. Could be because of my annual contribution to PCH. Jupiter in Gemini loves to read.
Finally, love goddess Venus (ruling relationships and money), presently deposited in the latter degrees of passionate Scorpio, also figures prominently in today’s lunation chart. Venus is exactly square to Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius, and she is also in a magical, harmonious trine to the Jupiter and Uranus conjunction.
Venus-Neptune is all about glamorizing or idealizing romance, having fantasy or phantom lovers (GC?), romantic involvement with individuals who are often, in reality, not at all as they appear to be on the surface. We can also fall head over heels for people who are not free (could be married or otherwise committed), or they are maybe on a different wavelength than us. We can also be tempted to play the role of martyr under this influence. Neptune rules actors. artists, musicians, creative types in general, so I guess now, I am personally very vulnerable since I have a crush on both Clooney (actor) and Jagger (musician). 🙂
Venus-Neptune is a classic deceptive marker, so we need to be very careful that we are not lied to and played like a fiddle for a short time, and then sadly dumped by the curbside for Monday morning garbage pick-up. New romantic relationships that strike up now need to be given the test of time, to see if the other person can really, “walk their talk,” and chew spearmint gum at the same time! Few can. Also, we may want to run in-depth background checks on these new lovers. Definitely we need to be cautious about giving them any of our hard-earned cash. Additionally, we may want to lock up our valuable art work, especially our prized “paint-by-number pieces,” as this is a shifty influence associated with art thefts!
Simultaneously, Venus in Scorpio trine Jupiter and Uranus in spiritual Pisces could signify for us the formation of new, expansive relationships and friendships with more “highly-evolved” types, who are into helping humanity. Or, we may also be more attracted to scientific types (Uranus) or inventors. Too, there’s a chance that we could even become infatuated with computer geeks (Uranus). This trine could also possibly denote the arrival of a soul mate, since Scorpio does rule past lives, and Venus rules lovers.
With Venus-Uranus, we are more attracted to, and or more accepting of, persons who maybe are a little bit different from us, or who are maybe more unconventional in general. Entertainment-wise, we may also want to engage in activities that wildly or radically deviate from our usual routine. We also may be want to participate in group activities now, which Uranus rules.
Too, Venus-Jupiter characteristically is all about indulging in fun and pleasure. It can be very romantic. Venus-Uranus often brings about sudden attractions. Instant love! But remember, we still need to get the new love interest fingerprinted and thoroughly checked out, just as a precaution, due to Venus-Neptune. Later on, if we see that there might be some real potential, we may also want to go ahead and carefully administer an upright vacuuming test. In addition to asking the person directly, how they really feel about passionately vacuuming alone in the dark, especially during an eclipse. Do they like it, or not? If no, why not? Again, with Venus-Neptune, we must probe. Probe, probe, probe. 🙂
“Lose your dreams and you might lose your mind” Mick Jagger. Especially if I lose my dream about you, Mick!
Okay. Now to my dream about George Clooney: I did actually have a dream/nightmare about George on New Year’s day, during a short “solo” nap alone (: in the middle of the day. In the weird thing, I remember looking out of my front living room window in my house, and seeing George standing in my front yard, with another nondescript man of color, who I did not recognize. The other guy was kind of a big guy. Probably his bodyguard.
George was wearing a sexy black leather jacket and faded blue jeans. But, to the best of my recollection, he did not appear to have any whips or chains under his arms, or at least, any that I could see, and trust me, I was looking for them. Unfortunately, too, in the dream, George ended up walking AWAY from my house with that guy, without even venturing to ring my doorbell. Symbolically, I took this as a very bad omen. He should have been walking TOWARDS my house instead. Don’t you think?
My house also probably signifies my physical body. A real slap in the face that George can’t even bring himself to ringing my bell! Does anyone out there do dream interpretation? Know maybe what this dream about Clooney may mean, or portend for me? Could it mean that I’m suppose to move perhaps more in the direction of Mick Jagger, with my natal, dual-lover, Venus in Gemini placement? Seek Mick out for my spiritual and emotional rescue? 🙂
