Astrology May 15, 2012: Venus Stations Retrograde in Gemini

COSMIC WATCH:

“Love must be as much a light, as it is a flame.” Henry David Thoreau

Lovable Venus stations retrograde at 24 degrees of Gemini (10:33 am EDT). It will remain retrograde until June 27. During Venus’s apparent backward dance in the sky we have a chance to carefully reflect upon and critique all the areas that Venus governs: our romantic life; the way we socialize or interact with others; the values we espouse and hold dear to our heart; the aspects of our life that provide us with pleasure or beauty. Venus also presides over our attitudes towards money and possessions.

Traditionally, the retrograde phase of a planet is a time when it is normally advised to postpone any important decision-making regarding the affairs ruled by that planet, as the theory is that the final verdict or takeaway on a matter will not be known until the planet resumes direct motion again.

Venus goes retrograde every 18 months. The last time that it went retrograde in Gemini was on May 17, 2004. Fascinatingly, back then on that very date, is when the state of Massachusetts issued the first, fully legal, same-sex marriage licenses in the United States (Venus rules marriage). Now once again, just days prior to Venus going retrograde in this same sign, the sign of the twins, more history has been made on this same issue with President Obama openly coming out in support of same-sex marriage, the first U.S. president to do so. Rather interesting, isn’t it, to see the progression on this matter?

Wonder, too, if Gemini, given its versatility, curiosity, and dual nature, might have more of a proclivity for same-sex unions? Or at least a higher toleration or acceptance of such relationships? What do you think? Also, might Venus retrograde itself indicate more of a tendency to embrace non-traditional relationships, as when a planet goes retrograde there can be a turning away or distancing from what is deemed to be more customary behavior?

How important is it for you that your relationships meet with the approval or sanction of others? Of society? What is the dream of love for your life?

Astrology May 10, 2012: Mercury Sextiles Neptune

COSMIC WATCH:

Thinker Mercury’s sextile to “fantasy” Neptune (5:59 pm EDT) adds a dreamy quality to our evening.  It’s also positive for projects that engage our imagination. This aspect can additionally stimulate our psychic ability, as well as provoke interest in more mystical or spiritual matters. Sometimes, too, with this influence we experience very vivid night dreams, some of which may even be prophetic (I recently had such a dream with the Sun opposite my Neptune). We may want to keep a notepad and pen by our bed tonight…just in case. I know if I don’t jot down my dreams, I’m apt to forget them. “Man is a genius when he is dreaming.” Akira Kurosawa

In the News: President Obama publicly came out in favor of same-sex marriage on Wednesday, reversing his earlier position. He is the first U.S. president to go on record supporting gay marriage.  Interestingly, in his horoscope now he has Mars, the planet of action, exactly conjunct his natal Pluto, which symbolizes rebirth and transformation. This conjunction is also occurring in his seventh house, the sector of the horoscope that governs marriage.

Mars-Pluto is a very potent influence that can elevate a person’s level of intensity and also make them very determined to achieve their ends. Metaphorically, it can depict someone “going to battle” for what they believe in. It can also coincide with a person making a sweeping change or overhaul in their life. Sometimes this revamping is necessary because there is additional clarity now about a matter. What perhaps served the person before is likely no longer working, so the person may feel that they have almost no choice but to alter their course.

What are your thoughts about same-sex marriage? Do you think it should be legal?

Famous Birthdays May 10: Bono, Rick Santorum, Fred Astaire.  Also, “yours truly” has amazingly made it to another year. 🙂

Astrology Horoscope: October 24, 2010, Mars Trine Uranus

23 Saturday Oct 2010

Anna Taylor going over Niagara Falls in a barrel, astrology, aviation, Barack Obama, creativity, delta airlines merges with northwest airlines, Gay Rights, George W Bush creates Homeland Security Department, Niagara Falls, President Obama is elected, same-sex marriage

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Moon continues in grounding, sensual Taurus. We also have four planets in steamy, sultry Scorpio now – including the passionate love duo of Venus and Mars!

Additionally, motivating Mars is harmoniously trine to change agent Uranus – the perceived planet of originality and innovation – ideally helping us to view or restructure our lives in ways that feel more liberating. Even making minor changes now may serve us well, in the long run, as we are essentially building in more adaptability skills to leverage in the future.

I have also listed down below, different events that have occurred in recent years, with Mars-Uranus.

Activities Spotlighted Today: Boating, fishing, dancing, research, studying astrology (Uranus rules astrology), meditation, treasure-hunting, reviewing insurance and financial matters, theater, music, painting, sculpting, ceramics, romance, gardening, baking, massage, facials.

On This Date In History:

October 24, 1901: Anna Taylor becomes the first woman in history to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. At the time of this feat, the Moon was passing through aquatic Pisces; the Sun had also just entered the resourceful/life or death sign of Scorpio and was exactly trine to Neptune.  Neptune and Pisces both rule boating – and in this case – barreling! Additionally, that day, Venus – governing women – was conjunct out-of-the-box (but in the barrel!) Uranus in adventurous Sagittarius. 🙂

In the News:

Almost 400,000 classified field reports from the Iraqi War were released by Wikileaks on Friday, the same day we had the Full Moon in Aries.  Aries rules war and the military. Full moons tend to deliver illuminations/revelations/final results.

Mars – the ruler of Aries – was also in investigative Scorpio and applying to an exact trine to disruptive rebel Uranus in hidden, behind-the-scenes Pisces.

Some other notable events with Mars trine Uranus in the recent past:

1) Oct 29, 2008 – Delta Airlines merged with Northwest Airlines forming the world’s largest commercial air carrier. At the time, Mars was also deposited in transformational Scorpio and trine to aviation-ruling Uranus in Pisces.

2) Nov 4, 2008 – Barrack Obama is elected President of the U.S. Mars in Scorpio was separating 2 degrees from another trine to Uranus in Pisces.  Obama ran on a “platform of change (Uranus).”

3) May 17, 2004 – Massachusetts legalizes same-sex marriage in compliance with a ruling from the state’s Supreme Judicial Court (Goodridge v. Department of Public Health). Mars is in the home and family-oriented sign of Cancer trine Uranus in Pisces. Mars rules, among other things, sexuality matters, and Uranus is often predominant with issues of equality.

4) November 25, 2002 – U.S. President George W. Bush signs the Homeland Security Act into law, creating the Department of Homeland Security, in the largest U.S. government reorganization since the Department of Defense was created in 1947.

Mars – ruling defense, the military, and self-preservation – was in Libra, which governs justice and the law, and trine to Uranus in collective-ruling Aquarius. Also at the time, expansive Jupiter was in leadership Leo and sextile to transforming Pluto in Sagittarius, the sign associated with foreign policy matters. Pluto’s ray is often paired with terrorism/subversive groups; the Homeland Security department was largely a response to 9/11.

Patricia’s Astrology: Saturn in Libra 2010 and Same Sex Marriage

Federal Judge Vaughn R. Walker, on Thursday, lifted his stay on the same-sex marriages ban, paving the way for gay couples in California to marry in that state. Walker delayed, however, implementation of his order to lift the ban until August 18th.

Walker’s ruling a week ago, that a voter-approved ban on same sex marriage (Proposition Eight) was unconstitutional, was rendered with pioneering Mars in Matrimonial Libra exactly squaring off with transformational Pluto in Capricorn, the sign of government. Mars, the energy planet, symbolizes “bold action.”

Libra not only rules marriage it also presides over the courts and judicial system, so the federal judge would be symbolized here by Mars in judicial Libra. Mars and Pluto are both often involved with “historic firsts.” Pluto also represents “the masses” and matters that impact the collective.

Mars-Pluto can be indicative of someone “seizing power” or taking “forceful, transforming action.” It’s also a classic “war aspect” replete with power clashes and clashes of will. There is strong opposition to Judge Walker’s ruling. President Obama reportedly supports civil unions between gay and lesbian couples, but is against gay marriages.

Also, “Karma Lord” Saturn in Nuptials Libra was opposite Uranus in Aries when Walker ruled last week.  Uranus is associated with equality and gay rights issues and also represents change. With the Saturn and Uranus opposition, once again, we had the pitting of the old, signified by Saturn, versus the new, with the new winning out this time, perhaps due again to the simultaneously strong Mars-Pluto aspect which tends to bulldoze or reconfigure existing structures and protocol. Mars-Pluto is, unquestionably, one of the most transforming and powerful energy aspects in astrology.

On August 18th, Saturn in relationship Libra will be exactly squaring controlling, transforming Pluto to a tee. It ought to be interesting to see how this aspect plays out. Saturn-Pluto can represent “death to the past,” but often not without a bitter fight and, of course, same-sex marriage remains a controversial and polarizing issue.

Libra is also the sign of the scales and balance, and it seems Serious Saturn here is putting the discussion of this weighty matter back on the table for further examination, now that it is in the matrimonial sign.  Saturn will be in Libra through October of 2012.

“Any real ecstasy is a sign you are moving in the right direction.” St. Teresa of Avila


COSMIC WEATHER:

The Universe is suggesting we “mingle and merge,” this weekend.  It’s providing us with an idealistic, romantic Libra Moon all Friday and into Saturday.  The Moon will also conjoin “Love Goddess” Venus (4:59 am EDT Friday) and “Sex Lord” Mars (9:22 am EDT Friday).

The Moon will then descend into Sexual Scorpio on Saturday evening (8:27 pm EDT), at which time we are highly urged to practice our “night moves” with grace and precision, particularly when the Moon throws a “sextile” aspect to “Passionate” Pluto (1:37 am EDT Sunday).

We also have the option of continuing to perfect these steamy activities throughout the day on Sunday, as the Moon stays in Scorpio all day long. Or, we can choose to do weeding and yard work.  It’s up to us. We only need to make sure that if we do choose the second option, that we don’t get carried away and try to “get intimate”  with the lawn mower. A potentially painful proposition that could also result in an “uneven lawn,” which could make us wildly unpopular in the neighborhood.

Enjoy your weekend!

I will be away from this blog for a while.  My 2 degree Aries rising is being sadistically hounded by the likes of Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto, at the moment, so I must go into seclusion and hiding for a while, with or without George Clooney. George, if you’re out there, I have some milk and cookies for you. Please stop by.

Anyway, I’ll return here once I deem it is safe to come back out. Right now, it’s a battlefield out there, so I’m seeking cover. I also do need some rest. Been burning the candle at both ends, and, sadly, there is very little of my candle left to burn at this point.

Patricia’s Daily Astrology Horoscope July 19, 2010: Speed Bump

18 Sunday Jul 2010

“A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.” Lucius Annaeus Seneca

“Cosmic Word of The Day”: Friction

Definition: 1) surface resistance to relative motion, as of a body sliding or rolling 2) the rubbing of the surface of one body against another 3) dissension of conflict between persons, nations, etc. because of differing ideas, wishes, etc.

Origin: 1575-85; < L friction (s. of frictio) a rubbing

COSMIC WEATHER:

Moon is in sex-addicted Scorpio.  Messenger Mercury is in speculative, fame-seeking Leo and forming funky, 135-degree links to both grandiose Jupiter and life-altering Pluto.

We’re cruisin’ along at a pleasant rate of speed in our vintage Ford Thunderbird convertible. All of a sudden we have to slow down because of a frickin’ speed bump. An aggravating form of friction. Apparently, there’s something that we must karmically attend to before we can continue on with our journey. It could be that Ed McMahon is trying to text message us from the Great Beyond to tell us that we have finally won the Giant Sweepstakes. Or, perhaps Simon Cowell is getting back with us on his Blackberry, regarding our earlier telepathic audition, to tell us how much we suck.

Whatever the case, we must be prepared for a little deviation and possible friction with respect to our planned, personal agendas today. We may also want to postpone pivotal decision-making for a couple days, as we’re inclined to overextend ourselves now and also be more careless with details.

“You are a saucy little thing aren’t you?” Simon Cowell

In the News: With “Expansive” Jupiter conjunct “Equality” planet Uranus, in the “pioneering” sign of Aries, and both square to Pluto, which governs reform and sexual attitudes, a bill to legalize same-sex marriages was approved last Thursday by the Argentine National Congress. Argentina now becomes the first Latin America country to legalize same-sex marriages nationwide. “Squares” force “movement” on issues.

Famous July 19th Cancerian Birthdays: Steven Anthony Lawrence (20), Angela Griffin (34)

Enjoy your Monday!

Keep the hot coffee cup lidded so, in case you encounter some friction while you’re driving, it won’t spill all over you.
