COSMIC WEATHER:

“Life’s problems wouldn’t be called ‘hurdles,’ if there wasn’t a way to get over them.” Unknown source

Things may be a bit more “topsy turvy” today with the Moon in emotional Cancer forming squares to unpredictable Uranus in Aries and restrictive Saturn in Libra, and also an opposition to reforming Pluto in Capricorn. This alignment activity sets up a dynamic cardinal cross in the sky. Cardinal sign energy (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) is very active and initiating. The pace around us now could quicken. Somewhat of a roller coaster. We progress now by being flexible, aware, and simply going with the flow. Sometimes, this buildup of cardinal energy spawns heroic or uncommon efforts.  Other times, creativity (Elvis Presley was born with a grand cardinal cross). Hopefully its appearance in your life today will have positive, exhilarating consequences.

BTW, last fall, when American Idol’s two new judges were formally announced, Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez, we had a cardinal grand cross exact in the sky. Again, it can be a highly creative, energizing configuration. Also a time when we feel more inclined or compelled to roll-out bolder agendas for ourselves, or are more amenable to changing things up, desiring newness and freshness. I was curious as to how Tyler and Lopez would fare on Idol, being chosen at that time,  but it appears that the viewer response has so far been favorable.

On a sweeter note, communicator Mercury and love maven Venus are aligned together in flirty Aries, boding well for weekend romance. This Mercury-Venus aspect will be exact on Monday. Too, with this same influence applying yesterday, it was announced that Beatle Paul McCartney is planning another trip down the aisle (trip #3) with his New York girlfriend of four years, Nancy Shevell (she’s reportedly a cousin to Barbara Walters). Not sure of the wedding date. Paul, a Gemini, has adventurous Mars and expansive Jupiter in new beginnings Aries presently sextiling his Sun (sense of self), so he is going through a more enthusiastic, optimistic phase (Jupiter-Sun aspects are often advised for weddings). Coincidentally, we had a similar type of Mars-Jupiter energy (the conjunction) in the royal wedding chart last week of Kate Middleton and Prince William.

Famous Taurus Birthday May 7th: Taylor Abrahamse (20), late Tim Russert (61), late Johannes Brahms (178), late Robert Browning (199), late Piotr Illyich Tchaikovsky (171)

Have a fun Saturday!

Astrology May 2, 2011: “Mission Accomplished!” Mars Conjunct Jupiter in Aries

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Justice has been done.” President Barack Obama (quote taken from his announcement, late yesterday, that Osama Bin Laden had been killed).

Mission accomplished! Nearly ten years after the 9/11 terror attack, a small team of U.S. forces (Navy Seals) raided a compound in Pakistan yesterday and reportedly killed Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind behind 9/11.Warrior Mars was exactly conjunct “lucky” Jupiter, the planet of opportunity, in military-ruling Aries, something that we have only had about two or three times in the last hundred years in this sign. (BTW, one of those times occurred back on January 6, 1940, during WWII, when General Semyon Suomussalmi was made head of all the Russian forces, a major shift in military command at the time.)

We also had a stellium of six planets (also referring here to the Moon as a planet) in fighter Aries yesterday, another rarity that we won’t have again for at least a dozen or more years. Of course, having such a heavy emphasis in Aries always ups the ante, potentially, for “military-type showdowns.” We continue to have five planets in Aries until May 11th. (Too, the day before this raid, there was the high-profile, unfortunate loss of life in Libya when the NATO strike force killed Moammar Gadhafi’s youngest son and three grandchildren, which garnered worldwide attention. That day, we also had Venus opposite Saturn, an aspect often associated with separation and sorrow.)

I have been blogging here the last few days about this special “Mars-Jupiter” aspect and how it tends to coincide with the occurrence of more singular, large-scale, high-profile events taking place in the collective (the Royal Wedding and the beatification of John Paul II; Jupiter also rules royalty, religion and clergy). Jupiter, the expansive urge, tends to magnify the size and scope of everything. Mars (the ruler of the aggressive urge and soldiers) generally serves to energize or “fire up” whatever it is aligned with. With these two forces merged together in “militaristic” Aries, Osama Bin Laden, the “most wanted person” on the planet, is finally captured and killed. A gargantuan (Jupiter) feat by any standard.

The Mars-Jupiter energy perennially tends to fuel our self-confidence and is additionally associated with risk-taking and adventure, especially in bravado Aries. Aries is also a zodiacal sign that is linked with “historic firsts,” “record-setting” and “discoveries.” Osama Bin Laden’s demise is also surely a huge (Jupiter) boost for the psyche of the U.S. armed forces (Mars). Already some are calling it a “game changer.”

Yesterday, in my blog, too, I mentioned that on, an individual level, this very dynamic influence gave us a marvelous, rare chance to “reinvent ourselves,” with Aries ruling our “self-identity” and “self-discovery.” Of course, viewing Aries on more of a collective level, as the sign of the military, this same aspect could be regarded as a favorable time to “reinvent,” or at least “retool,” the perception of the U.S. armed forces. Mars-Jupiter also coinciding here, of course, with the successful military raid on the compound where Osama had been hiding.

Also heard on the news today that President Obama gave the orders for the raid on Friday, when we had the illuminating Sun in Taurus harmoniously trined to Pluto in Capricorn. “Master Spy” Pluto, as ruler of secretive Scorpio, is associated with detection, investigation, and ferreting out hidden information. It denotes “hidden forces” and also “terrorism” and extremist activities. With Sun trine Pluto, we often are privy to finding out about clandestine affairs and plots. It can also often be a very transforming, regenerating (Pluto) influence, with Pluto ruling both death and rebirth. The Sun also represents world leaders and presidents. Capricorn, too, rules government.

Were you surprised to hear about Osama Bin Laden’s death? Did you ever think that he would someday be caught?

Venus Trine Neptune Brings Word Of A Royal Engagement

With “Love Goddess” Venus, in “Marital” Libra, in a harmonious trine to “Fantasy” Neptune in the heavens, Britain’s Prince William finally proposes to long-time girlfriend, Kate Middleton, after an eight year courtship. The Royal Wedding is slated to take place some time next spring or summer.

“Venus trine Neptune” is a classic aspect of  “storybook romance.” Venus denotes love and affection, and Neptune signifies the “idealistic urge.” With Venus-Neptune, we are searching and longing for an “ideal” or “perfect” love. Cupid’s bow and arrow, under Neptune’s spell, transports our hopeful hearts to a “magical realm,” shielded from the woes and worries of everyday living.

It’s interesting how news of this royal engagement has already created an exciting, “fanciful buzz” for the couple around the world. Perhaps the couple’s “fairytale betrothal” (Venus-Neptune) is just the “magical elixir” to shake many of us out of our daily doldrums, providing us with a good measure of vicarious thrill (Neptune) and pleasure (Venus).

After all, who among us does not want to believe in “fairytale endings?” (Venus-Neptune) Especially for princes and princesses.
