Cosmic Weather:

The Waxing Pisces Moon is nearing its Full Phase, which will be occurring tomorrow at 7:55 pm. Luna Trines Venus in Scorpio, 10:26 am. Luna Sextiles Uranus Rx in Taurus, 6:26 pm. All times EDT.

“In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion.” Albert Camus

An opportunity to disengage from the hamster wheel, for a spell, in a quest for more serene pastures (Luna in Pisces). Also, a sweet chance for us to play nice with each other; perhaps even revive or breathe new life into an old relationship or situation that had been perhaps left for dead or abandoned (Moon-Venus). We are also more open to experimentation, this evening, as well as possibly displaying our quirkier side (Moon sextile Uranus). To that end, the late Gemini poet and prolific writer Allen Ginsberg, a founding father of the counterculture Beat Generation once wrote: “Follow your inner moonlight; don’t hide the madness.” Ginsberg espoused, among other things, gay rights and anti-war movements. In the 1960s, he also coined the phrase “flower power,” synonymous with peace and love as a way to change the world.

On This Day in History: On September 19, 1778, the Continental Congress passes the first U.S. federal budget, in a bid to pay for its war debts and to regulate the federal government’s taxes.

Astrological highlights that day: Venus (money and resources) was applying to an exact conjunction with structuring Saturn in Scorpio (the sign of taxes) – an excellent aspect for organizing our finances. The problem-solving Virgo Sun was also applying to a trine to Pluto in (government-ruling) Capricorn. Sun-Pluto aspects often trigger/spark transformational activities/endeavors. Additionally, Jupiter was in harvesting Virgo and in a tight sextile to the stewardship-minded Venus-Saturn meetup. Jupiter’s propitious ray often helps to bestow blessings upon matters.

“Death, taxes, and childbirth! There’s never any convenient time for any of them.” Margaret Mitchell 🙂

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

Astrology February 27, 2015: A Time to Pause? Moon enters Cancer

“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” C.G. Jung

COSMIC WATCH:

Footsteps 2

We’ve all heard: Three steps forward, two steps back. I believe, today, with the Moon entering its home turf of “protective” Cancer (7:50 am EST), and forming a late day trine to “reflective” Neptune (9:59 pm EST), which is still involved in the latter stages of that annual, dreamy conjunction with the Sun, in “transcendent” Pisces, we’re pretty much into that “two steps backward” phase of our journey now. Feeling a need to chew upon our latest moves, or forays into the world.

Some of us, too, may have launched a lot of “rockets of desire,” as of late, with both Mars and Venus entering “initiating” Aries. Too, anytime we put new things into motion, shortly afterwards, if not immediately, we begin to feel the consequences of that activity, and that activity almost always ends up impacting us, to some degree, on an energetic level.

For example, as you may have noticed, I’ve been trying to blog here with more regularity, and have been doing so for more than a week now (it started with Mars applying to a conjunction with my 2 degree Aries Ascendant). But, I must confess, this activity has already come at somewhat of a cost to me. While I like the notion of challenging myself to create something “out of nothing,” the downside of doing this, nearly daily, is that it also routinely requires a good chunk of both my mental and physical energy, time, etc. – yadda yadda yadda. 🙂 So now, with the assist of the “self-nurturing” Cancer Moon, if I’m a smart cookie, I may want to take a moment out here, to weigh the “pros and cons” of this very “self-humbling” endeavor. And, likewise, you may want to do the same thing, with regard to what you’ve recently thrown up onto the canvas of life – to see if it makes sense for you to continue along this trajectory, in the same manner. Or, maybe you – as well as I – will both discover that we need to implement some immediate, corrective, generous self-care measures – a bit of tweaking of things – to stabilize or sustain our spirit, as well as preserve any remaining portion of our sanity and good humor.

Also, before the “maternal” Cancer Moon harmoniously trines Neptune, tonight, she’s going to square “assertive” Mars in Aries (7:41 pm EST) the warrior planet, suggesting that we may be a little tempted to come out of the self-imposed hibernation mode to consider flexing our muscle, for a flash. Especially if we discern the behavior’s warranted because we’re being taunted, bullied, etc by maybe the dog, the television, or our lovable in-laws. The testosterone laden Moon-Mars aspect is often associated with defensive posturing or maneuvering.

Also, “expansive” Jupiter, governing our beliefs, optimism, and personal philosophy is quinqunx “reconfigurating” Pluto, today. This rather off-kilter influence may inspire us to temporarily revisit some of our beliefs about things, especially those self-limiting beliefs that may be sabotaging or undermining our own interests, or otherwise interfering with our self-growth, in some manner. Too, isn’t it funny how we frequently can get in our own way, and never even know it at the time? Often, the only way we ever even become cognizant of this fact is that an event will occur, or we’ll get sick, etc., and then, all of a sudden, we’re gifted with this amazing, remarkable clarity of how we’ve been keeping our self small due to our convoluted thinking. “You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you.” C.S. Lewis

Question for Today: Where do you believe that you need to hit the “Pause” button now?

Astrology Horoscope April 27, 2011: Venus Square Pluto, Sun Trine Pluto

COSMIC WEATHER:

“All of our reasoning ends in surrender to feeling.” Blaise Pascal

The Moon enters “contemplative” Pisces today (12:58 am EDT) and immediately forms  a potent conjunction to Neptune, the ruler of Pisces (2:06 am EDT). This is the first time this has occurred here in about 150 years.  With this double-dose of  “Neptunian energy”  mystically engulfing us, there can be more of a desire to surrender to “unseen forces.” Neptune, of course, denotes our “link with the Divine.” It also represents our “urge for escape (fantasy),” and the impulse to avoid confrontation.

Ironically, with this more “retreating” Pisces Moon backdrop, we also have the more “high-drama” Venus square Pluto aspect (3:19 am EDT), which is, potentially, a more conflicting, confrontational type energy, that is linked with “depth of feeling” and “all-consuming” passion. Venus, again, rules love and relationships, and money and what we value. Pluto governs our “urge for reform” and also the “desire to purge.” It is tied in with power, control, erotica and sexual issues, compulsive-type behavior and feelings of obsession. Pluto also symbolically rules death. Its vibration is intense and laser-focused.

Often when we merge these two, with the “square” aspect often “forcing matters,” we see, on the shadow side, the emergence of some very thorny relationship, or money issues, especially if we are acting in a self-serving manner. It is suggested that, to avoid giving a platform to these problematic issues, we wisely refrain now from engaging in manipulative (Pluto) or controlling behavior and avoid deliberately pushing “hot button” topics. This also extends to the professional front, as Pluto is in Capricorn, the sign of career.

On another level, though, Venus-Pluto does sometimes have a healing or redemptive quality to it, and can also mark the beneficial ending (Pluto) of a personal or business relationship (Venus) that is no longer useful to us, or that has simply outlived its purpose. Moving on from such a tie now may actually be a potent way to “regenerate” (Pluto) ourselves.

To cite, perhaps, a high-profile example of this: Yesterday, on the eve of this aspect, came word that CBS Evening News Anchor, Katie Couric, would be leaving that post at CBS, when her contract expires at the end of June. Katie, a Capricorn, debuted as nightly news anchor when Saturn in entertainment Leo was exactly opposite hazy, dissolving Neptune in Aquarius (sign of broadcasting). The ratings for the program have never been very good. Often with Saturn-Neptune we experience more “ego-denying” experiences. Saturn-Neptune energy is often depicted as a time when the “rug is pulled out” from under us, a period when we do not receive the kind of support that we need.

Meanwhile, we also have a powerful “Sun trine Pluto” aspect today, with the Sun in pragmatic Taurus, the sign of money. This can also suggest that we can successfully make some practical (Taurus) reforms (Pluto) in our lives now. It also gives us more resolve to tackle difficult issues head-on with determination and courage. Sun trine Pluto can additionally bring about more “transparency,” as it can illuminate (Sun) previously hidden matters (Pluto). Although, we may want to be careful now that we don’t also “spill the beans” on things that we don’t want revealed.

Coincidentally, as I am writing this, a news report has just come out that the White House has released President Obama’s “long form” birth certficate today (transparency), in a bid to end a long-standing public controversy on whether or not he was not born in the U.S.  (The birth certificate shows that he was.) Also, today will be the very first time that the Federal Reserve (Taurus) has ever held a “press conference,” with Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke, set to be grilled by the media. The Central Bank has traditionally operated with a high-level of secrecy (Pluto). Pluto also rules debt and credit issues.

Do you maybe feel a need for more transparency (Sun trine Pluto) in your own life today? Do you see where it perhaps could be helpful to you now, to share a secret about yourself, or to divulge some information? Too, sometimes when we do “unload stuff,” we do feel better, more freer. In other words, there can be a decided “cathartic” affect (Pluto) to the whole process.

“Even a caterpillar feels fear before it spins its cocoon.” Kenny Loggins

Cosmic Word Of The Day: Cocoon

Definition: 1) the silky envelope spun by the larvae of many insects 2) any encompassingly protective wrapping or enclosure representing a cocoon

Origin: 1690-1700;  < F Cocon < PR coucoun

Cosmic Weather:

The Universe is, I believe, signaling a “time out.”

The waning Moon is secluded away in mystical Pisces, trying to recuperate from all the recent Full Moon Eclipse hullabaloo.  She is, no doubt, suggesting we do likewise: Retreat to the safety of our comfortable little cocoons and hopefully give thanks for our many blessings.

Thought-Keeper Mercury is also nestled in familial, food-minded Cancer and sextile to Energizer Mars in the health-sign of Virgo.

Joyful immersion in “kitchen karma.” Connecting with family members and loved ones over a hearty, home-cooked meal. Pausing to reflect upon sentimental memories from yesteryear (Mercury in Cancer). That may be just what Dr. Mars has in mind for us today.


“Food, like a loving touch or glimpse of divine power, has the ability to comfort.” Norman Kolpas


Famous July 1st Cancerian Birthdays: Pamela Anderson (42), Princess Diana (would have been 48 today)

Princess Diana quotes on family:

“Family is the most important thing in the world.”

“I live for my sons.  I would be lost without them.”

“I will fight for my children on any level so they can reach their potential as human beings and in their public duties.”

I think Diana would be very proud of how her two sons have grown up, don’t you? They are a shining tribute to their Mother.

Enjoy your Thursday!

Remember to clean up as you go along. Part of “kitchen karma.”
