Astrology December 10, 2011: Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Gemini

COSMIC WATCH:

A Full Moon / Total Lunar Eclipse is occurring today at 18 degrees of Gemini (9:38 am EST), the sign of thinking and communication. Full Moons tend to be revelatory in nature, illuminating matters that had previously been hidden or obscured from view. They also represent a time of release or letting go of the past. More potent eclipses can also signify dramatic, abrupt endings that sometimes take us by surprise. Interestingly, the last time we had a lunar eclipse at this very same degree, was back on December 9, 1992, when Prince Charles and Princess Diana reportedly announced publicly that they were separating, a declaration that instantly reverberated around the world and shocked many.

With erratic, freedom-loving Uranus, the planet of revolution and change, also stationing direct today exactly at the Aries point, after a 5-month retrograde period, this may be a day or time period of greater uncertainty and even some major paradigm shifts in our consciousness. Accordingly, some of us may feel more of a need to break free now from whatever is holding us back from expressing our true, authentic self. Included in this process may be the need to reject some of the cookie-cutter socialization that has prevented us from living out our best destiny. Gemini is also the sign that has to do with our early conditioning.

Too, on a collective level, widespread street protests are reportedly planned today in many parts of Russia over allegations of election fraud in last Sunday’s parliamentary election which saw Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party win by a slim margin. The last time that Russia saw protests of this scope and magnitude was twenty years ago (what I heard on CNN last night).

In our personal horoscopes we will want to note what house contains 18 degrees of Gemini, as that is the area of life that is being activated now and also the part of our life where we may need to do some releasing or letting go. By polarity, the house opposite to it, too, will also be affected. Also, we will want to see whether the lunar eclipse degree is aspecting other planets or sensitive points in our charts. Additionally, it is also normally a good idea to wait a few days before making major changes with a full moon/lunar eclipse, as we want to allow ourselves some time to digest or adjust to whatever is being revealed to us now.

“Nothing is more terrible than activity without insight.” Thomas Carlyle

Today’s affirmation: I lovingly let go of the past and fully embrace the richness and fullness of the present moment.

Midday News Update: The Huffington Post is reporting that “three women who fought injustice, dictatorship and sexual violence in Liberia and Yemen” accepted the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize today in Oslo, Norway. The trio also reportedly “called on women worldwide to rise up against male supremacy.” Another indication of the awakening Uranian revolution?

Happy eclipse blessings!

Astrology March 21, 2011: Reform or Revolution? Sun conjunct Uranus in Aries

COSMIC WEATHER:

“A reform is a correction of abuses; a revolution is a transfer of power.” Robert Bulwer-Lytton

Well, now that we know the fine distinction between these two things, reform and revolution, it may be that we see a bit of both of these occurring today as the “big cheese” Sun conjuncts “liberating” Uranus, the sometimes quirky, and often unruly, “rebel stepchild” of the Universe.

“Change-agent” Uranus also tends to be  “unpredictable” in nature, so it’s hard to ever know exactly what he has up his sleeve. It’s probably best for us to just prime ourselves for the “unexpected” today, and hope it will be “very good” unexpected stuff that develops in our lives.

Uranus can bring about sudden amazing breakthroughs and advances, especially of a more scientific or technological nature. This is especially the case in pioneering Aries, a sign also known for “firsts.” At any rate, a very good day to consider instituting new procedures or processes in our lives to make them more efficient. BTW, Uranus is formally associated with “genius.” Maybe all of our “IQ’s” will effectively get a boost today. Too, this is not a good day to resist change, as it could be a lost cause for us with wacky Uranus breathing down our necks, holding us captive. 🙂

This powerhouse Sun-Uranus pairing is also occurring in “don’t fence me in” Aries, the macho sign of war and the military. Of course, many of us already know what is presently unfolding in Libya with the international coalition forces enacting a no-fly zone over that country. Heard on the Wall Street Journal Radio this morning (love their early morning news program) that there is also reportedly some concern that Moammar Qadhafi could resort to terrorism, at some point, even use mustard gas.

Too, more unrest is again brewing in other areas of the Middle East. (We also have Mercury and Jupiter in Aries.) Ever since expansive Jupiter got into Aries, late January, is when the political activism and social unrest in the Middle East started heating up (also had warrior Mars in group-oriented Aquarius setting the tone then. Mars rules Aries.).

Aries also rules sports. Today, the long-awaited Barry Bonds‘ perjury trial is slated to begin, three years after Bonds was charged with lying to a federal grand jury when he denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs. One thing’s for certain about “high-voltage” Sun-Uranus: It is never a boring aspect!

Patrice Celestial February 12, 2011: “Verbalizing Our Ideas” Daily Horoscope

“All great lovers are articulate, and verbal seduction is the surest road to actual seduction.” Marya Mannes

COSMIC WEATHER:

The chatty Gemini Moon gives us a desire to “verbalize our ideas.”  This is amplified even more so today with messenger Mercury, Gemini’s ruler, forming a semi-square to “do-your-own-thing” Uranus. An influence that characteristically makes us more inclined to put forward our “personal brand.” Also, assertive Mars in idealistic Aquarius is forming a semi-square to controlling Pluto, which adds to our level of intensity and passion. The shadow side of this Mars-Pluto aspect could make us somewhat more confrontational or manipulative (Pluto). Or, encounter persons who act in this manner.

Too, the powering Sun and energizing Mars continue in their tight conjunction in “group-oriented” Aquarius, a very potent aspect that is associated with risk-tasking and adventure. This energy has been in affect for the entire duration of the “people’s revolution” in Egypt the last two and a half weeks. Sun-Mars tends to “fire us up,” stoking our self-confidence and also making us much more willing to “do combat” for whatever we believe in, as Mars rules the aggressive urge, and also the urge for survival. Mars in Aquarius, too, energizes “group expression.”

Historically, with Sun-Mars conjunctions we typically have seen major new beginnings ushered in due to the “pioneering nature” of Mars. The Sun also represents world leaders and authority figures. I personally thought it was fascinating, too, that President Mubarak finally left office with the Moon in steadfast Taurus applying to an exact square to “dissolving, ego-denying” Neptune.

The Taurus Moon is known for “holding on forever,” but this ended up not being an option for Mubarak, in face of all the Aquarian (change-oriented) planets now, including the dynamic Sun-Mars conjunction, and also the Moon’s square to “surrendering” Neptune. Neptune rules the “urge for escape” or “withdrawal.” We often feel weakened with this influence and able to see the “handwriting on the wall.” Anyway, very happy for the people of Egypt. It will be interesting to see what happens next. Hopefully, it will be a positive new chapter for that country.

Additionally, today’s energetic Gemini Moon is good for fact-finding and gathering information, teaching, writing, short trips, and active pursuits. Too, love goddess Venus is still in alignment with passionate Pluto and with Valentine’s Day coming up on Monday, it could be that we want to get an early jump on it with our honey tonight. Since I am presently “unattached,” I went to the local Oreck vacuum store on Friday and purchased $53.00 worth of vacuum bags. So, I’m all set. Also, had my vacuum annually-serviced. What a thrill! I even was treated to an in-store demonstration of the “orbiter” carpet cleaner while I was there. Totally awesome. Was completely blown away by its’ stain-removing abilities. 🙂

Patricia’s Daily Astrology Horoscope August 7, 2010: Elvis Lives On

“You never lose by loving, you always lose by holding back.”  Barbra De Angelis

COSMIC WEATHER:

Moon continues in Nesting Cancer.

But far from a typical day on the cozy homefront.

We’re still in the clutches of “Venus opposite Uranus,” an electrifying aspect of “sudden love,” or “sudden infatuation,” with shadings to it of the rebellious sixties and the corresponding hippie counterculture, that was inspired, in large part, by Uranus.

This opposition aspect is part of the ongoing, very powerful, “Cardinal Cross” aspect, raging unattended in the sky now. This energy is a big game-changer, in many ways, and not just for the present period. Its legacy will play out for a long time to come, as individuals incarnating to Earth now will also be “locked in” with this type of highly-charged, “change-oriented” energy burning inside of them.

“Elvis Presley,” a Capricorn, comes to mind here as someone who was born with a rare “Cardinal Square,” (if you also count a wider orb for his Mars aspects), involving some of the same planets as today, including Uranus in Aries.  We know how he single-handedly managed to “change the world of music” and impact the world. “Uranus,” which is associated with “genius,” was in Elvis’s fifth house of talent.

Also, getting back specifically to Venus-Uranus: For those faithful horoscope readers with short-term memories, Venus again rules “love” and “relationships,” while Uranus, as we just mentioned, rules “change” and “innovation,” and intrinsically acts in ways that are “non-conforming” and revolutionizing.

Get these two energies together, and also throw in today’s sentimental Cancer Moon, with its deep fondness for living in the past (even though we also have a potent”change influence” occurring now), and we have all the ingredients for a serious “hippie meet-up and revival,” which is exactly what is playing out downstairs in our study.

Romantic Matchmaker, Venus in Libra, with her dizzying penchant and fondness for party-planning, has orchestrated for this evening, along with Uranus, a psychedelic “love-in” for aging hippies, released cautiously for a Saturday night out (with certain restrictions), from the Shady Tree Retirement Home down the road.

Venus and Uranus already have batches of those “funny-tasting brownies” baking in the oven. Their weird, odorous aroma, making us “slightly hallucinatory” at this time.

“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.” Joseph Campbell

Famous August 7th Leo Birthdays: David Duchovny (50), Garrison Keillor (68)

Enjoy your Saturday!

Peace and love!

I’ll try to make it back by on Sunday for another horoscope round.  Not sure now, though, whether I can. It all sort of depends on whether George Clooney “comes a callin” at my door Saturday night. Hope springs eternal.

“Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.” Henry David Thoreau

My crystal ball is showing a big day ahead!

I see invigorating, fiery energy descending upon us, beginning with the Moon’s glide into philosophical, inquiring Sagittarius (at 7:16 am EDT).  This ingress positions us for a Full Moon adventure here later in the day (at 7:08 pm EDT).

With the Full Moon in archer Sagittarius, we focus our attention on our beliefs and convictions.  This is an ideal time to ask ourselves what it is that we really believe in and stand for. Do we even know?

Also, how are we faring in terms of our ability to freely express our beliefs and views in the world? Are we able to confidently share with others our opinions or viewpoints, or do we instead retreat from doing so out of fear of rejection or ridicule?

Living authentically from our own point of truth is the greatest gift that we can give to both ourselves and the world.  That is why I love the Thoreau quote above. When we live our beliefs,  that is how we are able to turn our world around.

And, the world around us will begin to change in bold and daring ways with the entrance of liberating, revolutionizing Uranus into pioneering Aries, the first sign of the zodiac (at 9:50 pm EDT).

Aries depicts new beginnings, particularly new personal beginnings.  Aries is also the sign of our self-image. Uranus’s movement into Aries gives us a chance to free up how we think and feel about ourselves.

That freeing up, as we all know, can be a lengthy process.  That is why Uranus will be in Aries for 7 years (although it will retrograde back into Pisces later this summer for a while before it firmly establishes here early 2011). Enough time for a full revolution, don’t you think?

Enjoy your day! Be proud of who you are. You’re beautiful and unique.
