Cosmic Weather:

On this seventh day of the week – and seventh of August – we’re seemingly treated to a mixed bag:

Venus in Cancer trines Neptune Rx (12:43 pm) – Potentially a nice dreamy romantic aspect. This influence inspires us to look for the best in others. It’s also a configuration that can incline us to want to get lost in something as an escape. Too, creativity may be kindled or enhanced. (Many artists and musicians tend to have Venus-Neptune aspects prominent, including singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks.)

Waxing Moon in Sagittarius trines the Sun in Leo (2:21 pm) – This flowing aspect ideally helps us to achieve more of an inner/outer balance. Our ego needs and desire for accomplishment are more readily met. Nurturing ourselves and others may also come easier now.

Mars in Taurus squares Saturn Rx in Aquarius ( 3:57 pm) – Hands down, this aspect is the big elephant in the room today! Among other things, it often forces us to slow down – or to at least go at things at a much more measured pace. Success can be had now but this is more likely only if we are willing to put in the hard work that taskmaster Saturn requires. If we are, we may find that we are able to build something of real stature or value now that is long-lasting. Too, trying to simply wing things or rest largely on our laurels will likely just send us to the back of the class now. On another level, this aspect may also make us more aware of how our fears may be holding us back. It may also alert us to the finite nature of our physical energy and how we may need to guard it.

“If people knew how hard I had to work to gain my mastery, it would not seem so wonderful at all.” – Michelangelo Buonarroti

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On August 7, 1782, George Washington creates the Purple Heart medal (original name Badge of Military Merit) as commander of the Continental Army.

Astrologically, that day, warrior Mars was conjunct the Sun in commanding Leo. Mars was also trining Jupiter and Saturn both conjunct in philosophical, freedom-loving Sagittarius. Mars trine Jupiter tends to greatly inspire or ignite our bravery and ideals, while Mars trine Saturn often rewards us for our past efforts.

The modern Purple Heart was first issued on February 22, 1932 – the bicentennial of George Washington’s birthday. General Douglas MacArthur, Army chief of staff at the time, received the first Purple Heart.

Born On This Day: Radio entertainer and writer Garrison Keillor. Perhaps best known for the public-radio show A Prairie Home Companion. Keillor, who was born in Anoka, Minnesota, turns 80 today.

“That’s the news from Lake Woebegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.” –Garrison Keillor, signing off.

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

“Our feelings are our most genuine paths to knowledge.” Audre Lorde

Having a serious heart-to-heart with someone may very well be in the cards now as conversationalist Mercury, in feelings-oriented Cancer, trines expansive Jupiter Rx in soulful, empathic Pisces (at 3:45 pm). An excellent planetary aspect to work through emotions and attempt to build or restore trust. Mercury trine Jupiter naturally supports the flow of communication and can also help to elevate our understanding and broaden our outlook. It is also an influence that is commonly associated with cheerfulness, optimism, and humor.

The Waxing Moon remains in colorful Leo today with morning conjunctions to both Venus and Mars, the cosmic pair of lovers! These two planets will be exactly conjunct in the sky, tomorrow morning.

“Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart.” Charles Dickens

On This Day in History: On July 12, 1984, Democratic presidential candidate Walter F. Mondale put forward congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro of New York as his running mate, making her the first woman ever nominated for vice president by a major U.S. political party. Ferraro called the historic choice a “powerful signal” to all Americans. During her acceptance speech, a week later, Ferraro said, “There are no doors we cannot unlock. We will place no limits on achievement. If we can do this, we can do anything.” (History.com/geraldineferraro)

Astrologically, on July 12, 1984, decision-maker Mercury, in commanding Leo, was exactly trine to progressive Uranus, which was in inclusion-minded, politically-oriented Sagittarius.  Also, that day, Venus (ruling women) was separating from a wide conjunction with the empowering Cancer Sun and applying (two degrees) to an exact square (a tension aspect) to transforming Pluto in matrimonial Libra.

Shortly after Ferraro’s VP nomination, questions started to emerge about some of her husband’s prior financial dealings (possible impact of the Venus-Pluto aspect?). This matter would end up being a rather thorny issue that some say detracted from the presidential ticket. That November, Mondale would lose to Ronald Reagan in a landslide. Later on, in the 1990s, Ferraro would serve for three years as the Ambassador to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights during the Clinton administration. (Wikipedia)

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

“Science, my lad, is made up of mistakes, but they are mistakes which it is useful to make because they lead little by little to the truth.” Jules Verne

Mercury in Aries Sextile Saturn in Aquarius (11:09 am) – Following yesterday’s very spacey Mars square Neptune aspect, today is much better for attempting to pin the dashing tail on the ole’ proverbial donkey. Mercury-Saturn lends more precision and practicality to our thinking. Problem-solving could be less of a struggle.

Venus in Aries Sextiles Jupiter in Aquarius (2:53 pm) – Romance is in the air! Lady Luck may also be trying to track us down so we might want to consider leaving a long paper trail. This is a lovely influence for smoothing out any relationship bumps, for socializing, being playful. Promotes warm-heartedness and generosity.

Waning Luna also shifted into fiery Aries, early this morning (2:11 am), getting into position for tomorrow’s pioneering New Moon adventure in the sign of the Ram.

Numerologically, April 10, 2021, is very dynamic! A double “one” day. Good for taking charge, showing leadership, displaying confidence.

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On April 10, 2019, the first-ever photo of a black hole was announced, taken by The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration in 2017 in galaxy M87, 6.5 billion times the mass of earth, 55 million light-years away.

Astrologically, that day, newsmaker Mercury (in charge of corporate press releases) was deposited in infinity-seeking Pisces (the sign that also rules photography) and exactly sextile to enigmatic Pluto (aka Darth Vader) in Capricorn. Mercury-Pluto often coincides with eye-popping, riveting headlines. By the way, that very same day, four tiny sweat bees were removed alive from a woman’s eye (not making this up!) in the world’s first operation of its kind at Fooyin University Hospital, Taiwan. (From onthisday.com)

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

Astrology October 12, 2020: Jupiter Sextile Neptune

Cosmic Weather:

There may be an otherworldly feel or quality to the day as hopeful Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, forms a sextile, for the third and final time this year, to idealistic Neptune (at 3:06 am) the planet of our dreams and imagination. (The other dates were February 20th and July 27th). This more inspirational type of energy can motivate us to reach for the ever-twinkling stars, and with Jupiter deposited in ambitious, pragmatic Capricorn, there’s a real possibility that we’ll be able to lasso in whatever it is we’re seeking, especially if we are disciplined and remained focused on elements of the bigger picture and perhaps what’s at stake.

This may also be a good time to become involved with projects pertaining to art, music, photography, and dance, as well as for engaging in charitable or humanitarian activities. Our nocturnal dreams may also be very vivid and meaningful for us now, so we may want to pay closer attention to them and write them down.

Mercury in probing Scorpio – which will be stationing retrograde tomorrow – is also sextile to accomodating Venus in organized Virgo (at 12:39 pm), an aspect that can naturally turn our thoughts to matters such as love and friendship. It may also make us more amenable or predisposed to evaluating our relationships as well as possibly discussing taking a relationship to the next level. Too, the waning Moon is in Leo, the sign of romance!

“And he took her in his arms and kissed her under the sunlit sky, and he cared not that they stood high upon the walls in the sight of many.” – J.R.R Tolkien

Overall, with communicator Mercury and harmonizer Venus in positive alignment, it should hopefully be easier for us to work collaboratively with each other now, or to at least find a few points of common agreement. Today’s Jupiter-Neptune influence may also beneficially assist us here as it, ideally, can incline us to be more principled or philosophically-minded, or less personally reactive. That said, with Mercury in very intense Scorpio, there is always, of course, still a possibility that some conversations could become very animated or overheated as we go about making our beliefs and ideologies (Jupiter) known while simultaneously investigating or weighing the facts of matters (thinking expressly here, of the start of Monday’s Supreme Court nomination hearing in the U.S. Senate!).

*All times EDT.

Tarot Card For The Day: The Six of Wands. This card graphically depicts a celebrated victor on horseback in the Rider Deck. It can also inspire acting upon our convictions or ideals which, in turn, can help draw support from others.

On This Day in History: On October 12, 1901, U.S. President Teddy Roosevelt renames the Executive Mansion as “The White House.” Since nearly every U.S. state had an “executive mansion” for its governor, President Roosevelt believed the name “White House” would distinguish it as the official residence of the President of the United States. (whitehousehistory.org)

Astrologically, that day, there was a New Moon in beautifying Libra, which can naturally place more of an emphasis on such things as form, style, and decorum. This New Moon was also exactly trine to transformational Pluto, which was deposited in the communicative sign of Gemini, ruling words, phrases, and grammar. The ruler of the New Moon, elegant Venus, was also exactly conjunct energetic Mars, in refurbishing Scorpio.

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

Astrology May 3, 2020: Venus Square Neptune

Cosmic Weather:

“When you compare the sorrows of real-life to the pleasures of the imaginary one, you will never want to live again, only to dream forever.” Alexandre Dumas

Today has undertones of being at a Grand Masquerade Ball, in some ways, as social, romantic Venus (soon-to-be-retrograde) forms a waxing square to fantasy Neptune (11:52 pm). This more daydreamy aspect can, among other things, sometimes make it more challenging to see other people as they are partly because we seem to have more of a real need or desire now to want to place halos above nearly everybody’s head. Neptune is the higher octave of Venus and it’s associated with Divine Love or unconditional love or a boundary-less type of love that many of us may wish to sincerely experience in our hearts. This is why we can potentially be so vulnerable now: It’s like we don’t want that sacred veil to be pierced, at the moment, and then possibly face the chance of being starkly disillusioned by the underlying, harsher reality. Accordingly, any relationships, especially romantic ones, that begin under this aspect would most likely benefit from giving them a period of time to gel so we can see how they play out over the long haul. 

Because Venus also governs money, possessions, and how we derive pleasure, in general, we may also want to refrain from going overboard with things, particularly acquisitions, until we are more sure of what our true needs and desires are. Often what seems so glamorous to us, on the surface, with Venus-Neptune, proves otherwise later. On another level, Venus-Neptune energy can be extremely creative as it poises us to go deeper into the waters of our fertile imaginations. Many artists and musicians have Venus-Neptune aspects prominent in their personal charts.

Today’s Venus-Neptune square is the first of three squares, the other two will be taking place on May 20th and July 27th. Venus goes retrograde on May 13th.

Meanwhile, Waxing Luna remains ensconced in verifying Virgo all day, no doubt a good, overall counter or balance to the “I just wanna be swept off my feet” Venus-Neptune influence. Although, even the skeptical Virgo Moon is under some pressure this morning as she also forms a bewildering opposition to blurry-eyed Neptune (at 11:22 am). Fortunately, later on, however, Luna will be regaining her footing, quite a bit, when she forms flowing trines to transformational Pluto (at 7:01 pm) and big picture Jupiter (at 10:25 pm), both still conjunct in “keeping-it-real” Capricorn. Ideally, these two more hopeful aspects will provide us with a practical ability to see or plot futuristic trends, especially with respect to more large-scale issues. Moon-Pluto, in particular, can also be very healing energy and one that allows us to not only, individually and collectively, let go of the past, but also greatly learn from it, as well as being simultaneously positively reshaped by what we may have experienced. On another level, the Moon-Pluto energy can also sometimes help us to locate something that has been lost or perhaps hidden from view.

Cosmic Weather:

Beware! The “illuminating” Sun in archer Sagittarius is squaring “deceptive” Neptune in fishy Pisces today (3:59 am)! 🙂

As it is, most days are already crazy complicated enough to wade through. Don’t you agree? Why in the world we need to add psychedelic, hallucinatory Neptune to the cosmic setup now is beyond me. No doubt, it’s probably got something to do with inebriated gods up to no good at closing time!

Yet, on the other hand, we can probably all take pride and comfort in knowing that, today, it is likely a perfect time for attempting to walk across drought-stricken seas without fear of drowning. Or better yet, without fear of being swallowed up by an oversized minnow!

And on an even cheerier note, we do also have sweet, romantic Venus in “marrying for money” Capricorn sextile wishful-thinking Neptune (4:48 pm). So, at least there’s a shadow of hope that by the close of the day, some of us will probably end up being rescued by a wealthy prince or princess on a galactic-sized yacht so we can, hopefully, hang up our fishing poles for good! 🙂

Seriously, Venus sextile Neptune can, on occasion, match us up with our karmic soulmates. So that’s pretty cool. Or, at least pair us with acceptable substitutes. A comforting thought – especially since George Clooney is no longer an option, thanks to Amal!

“Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze.” Elinor Glyn.

Numerologically, today is also an “8” day often associated with money and power, and the ability to rein it in.

Born On This Day: American humorist James Thurber, in 1894, who once said: “One martini is all right. Two are too many, and three are not enough.”

Hope it’s a good one!

Cosmic Weather:

It seems we’ve been officially cleared by the “powers-that-be” to formally spread some love around! 🙂

Venus and Mars, the Cosmic Lovers, are sextile to each other today. A more pleasant and pleasurable astrological aspect that bodes well not only for romantic encounters but also sets up a nice give and take in our relationships in general. We’re potentially more willing and wanting now to express our love (Venus) through the actions (Mars) that we take. This is also a very creative influence that can especially inspire us to want to create more beauty not only around us but also out in the world.

Communicator Mercury is also sextile Pluto today, the ruler of the subconscious. This energy can take conversations to a deeper level. We may also hear, see, or read something today that really resonates with our inner truth and also generates a lot of clarity for us. Due to Mercury’s retrograde dance in Scorpio, we’ve also already had this same aspect twice before (on Oct. 19 and Nov. 9) so today’s the last meetup of this cosmic duo, which could also bring final resolution to a matter.

The waxing Moon also shifted out of inventive Aquarius and into compassionate Pisces, early this morning (2:11 am). This is a really nice emotionally sensitizing aspect that can also inspire us to want to just go with the flow, to not make any waves, to simply honor that peaceful place of stillness inside ourselves. “Be still. Stillness reveals the secrets of eternity.” Lao-Tzu

The more charitably-minded Pisces Moon is also a perfect backdrop for “Giving Tuesday” today, an annual day that encourages people around the world to do good.

Numerologically, today is also a “3” day which is considered excellent for creative ventures. This also has a nice vibe to it for fun or lighter relationships.

*All times EST.

Cosmic Weather:

We start out our Wednesday – the 205th day of the year – with Waning Luna (governing our feelings and emotions) wrapping up her stay in fast-acting Aries, perhaps generating more of a general restlessness within us and also more of a tendency towards impulsivity as we are more inclined now to directly act upon our emotions. (The Moon will be void from 10:47 am to 5:42 pm, at which time it will enter the sign of stabilizing Taurus.)

Communicator Mercury retrograde is also forming a conjunction with sweet, soothing Venus in sentimental Cancer (8:26 pm). This softening influence can not only make us wax poetic and perhaps kindle our romantic side as well, it can also find us revisiting and analyzing old relationships, old feelings, including reviewing elements of our familial or ancestral past. Articulating our feelings now may also be more important to us. Additionally, it may be a wonderful time to visit art galleries, take in concerts, redecorate our living quarters, as we potentially have more of an aptitude and appreciation for beauty now in all of its forms. Too, this conjunction nicely dovetails with today’s numerology, since it’s the 24th day of the month, which is also a Venus-ruled six-day.

The Moon also enters its Last Quarter Phase in practical Taurus tonight (9:17 pm), squaring the Sun in self-expressive Leo. (The Quarter Moon phase always suggests some crisis in consciousness is possible.) It could be that we need to reconcile now a need to be pragmatic with a desire to be creative. Perhaps discerning how to place or put a value or worth (Taurus) on our own creative instincts (Leo).

“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” Maya Angelou

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On July 24, 1965, Bob Dylan (b. 5/24/41) releases the classic “Like A Rolling Stone.” Astrologically, that day, Mercury (words) and Venus (artistry) were conjunct in creative Leo (similar to what we have today with those same two planets conjunct in Cancer). The empowering Sun was also in dramatic Leo and sextile to the Waning Moon in articulate, clever Gemini. Dylan also had, in his own birth chart, transiting fortuitous (preacher-teacher) Jupiter in Gemini exactly conjunct his 7th house cusp (ruling the public) and trining his Libra Midheaven (career house).

Hope it’s a good one!

Cosmic Weather:

“Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.” Rumi

Have you ever gone to that proverbial drawing board with the best of intentions to be creative or imaginative, and absolutely zilch happened? It’s like you suddenly morph into a zombie or something and you end up just sitting there, twiddling your thumbs. If you can even muster that much! What’s even worse is when you look all around you, and you see all these cool things created by other people! and you’re thinking to yourself, “Why in the world did I have to get stuck with such a lousy, god-awful imagination? Is it possible payback or retribution, perhaps, for an ancient karmic misdeed, or something? 🙂

Isn’t it also humbling and mind-boggling, too, when you step outside into nature and you see all this brilliantly choreographed magnificence and beauty everywhere? Or, you look into the heavens through a telescope, and it’s as if the complicated universe never stops unfolding! There is just so much amazing mystery and wonderment surrounding us, all the time, and yet many of us never really even think much about it because we are often so preoccupied with all the daily, mundane, personal stuff. Yet, we also have it so much better, in many ways, with respect to countless others who lived before us, in other time periods, who often had to struggle to just make it to age 30 or 40.

“The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.” Sylvia Plath

And yet, regardless of everything, hope springs eternal for another glorious chance to possibly shine or dazzle, or to come into our own, in our optimal roles as co-creators with the universe! Or, so it seems, at least for today anyway, with sweet, artistic Venus, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, forming a lovely sextile aspect with compassionate Neptune, the official Kingpin of Imagination (3:45 am).  The Venus-Neptune hookup today also activating the ongoing, more long-term Saturn-Neptune sextile that has been in operation since the end of January and will continue in effect, on and off, for most of this year. This aspect between these two planetary heavyweights, Saturn and Neptune, is, theoretically, ideal for helping us turn our dreams, creativity, and visions (Neptune) into reality or tangible form (Saturn).

*All times EST

Enjoy your day!

Cosmic Weather:

“Relax. Your battle with the world is just a fiction in your head.” – Marty Rubin

Today is a good time for winding things down, in preparation of tomorrow’s New Moon in innovative Aquarius (4:04 pm). New Moons are always synonymous with brand new beginnings, appearing to mirror the death and rebirth phase of the Moon’s monthly cycle. The Moon also shifted from Capricorn into Aquarius this morning (8:03 am), setting the stage for tomorrow’s big event.

Intellectual Mercury is also in Aquarius today and it’s forming a sextile aspect to philosophical Jupiter in Sagittarius (4:55 pm). This is a very nice, mentally stimulating influence that tends to broaden our outlook and make us feel more optimistic. Our judgment may also be better. Conversations with others, in general, can be very inspiring and productive. We can also speak with a greater sense of personal conviction now as we’re, more than likely, channeling our own inner preacher-teacher! Of course, for some of us, if we’re not careful, the Mercury-Jupiter influence can easily morph into our doing copious amounts of bloviating or pontificating! Something, yours truly, happens to know a thing or two about! 🙂 Additionally, the Mercury-Jupiter aspect also favors publishing, writing, travel planning, and business negotiations.

Relationship Venus also exits carefree Sagittarius today for mature-minded Capricorn (5:30 pm), a venue in which the glorious Love Goddess is ready to hunker down and take things to the next level! Also, with Venus in Capricorn now, we’re likely to be much more selective with respect to letting anyone new into our inner circle, especially since we have less of an appetite for frivolity.

“So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you.” Paulo Coelho

This Day in History: On February 3, 1959, Buddy Holly (b. 9/7/36) was tragically killed in a plane crash, shortly after takeoff, near Clear Lake, Iowa. Holly is often described as the most influential of the early rock and roll musicians in the mid-1950’s. The death of Holly is also now commonly referred to as “the day the music died” after Don McLean immortalized the tragedy with his 1972 hit “American Pie.” (Wikipedia)

(In the sky on that fateful day, the Sun, the giver of life, was in the aviation-ruling sign of Aquarius and forming an exact opposition to unpredictable Uranus in Leo, the sign of entertainment. The planet Uranus symbolizes change and, on the shadow side, can sometimes trigger disruption or chaos in our lives, including accidents, when its energy is activated.)

That’ll Be The Day (Buddy Holly, Jerry Allison)

Well, that’ll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yes, that’ll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you’re gonna leave, you know it’s a lie
‘Cause that’ll be the day when I die…

“Without Elvis none of us could have made it.” Buddy Holly
