This Date In History:

November 13, 1979:

Ronald Reagan announces in New York his “candidacy for president.”

The “Illuminating” Sun is in “Transforming” Scorpio and exactly conjunct “Rebel” Uranus.

The Sun, as ruler of Leo, represent leaders and authority figures. Non-Traditional Uranus, as ruler of Futuristic Aquarius (Reagan’s “Sun-sign”), signifies “change” and “revolution.” Scorpio is also the sign that rules taxes, debt, credit, and investments.

On days when the Sun and Uranus are conjoined, we tend to witness a “departure from the past,” in terms of leadership matters, and often “sudden developments” or “breakthroughs” that can lead us down new paths.

Reagan went on to win the U.S. presidency, the following year, and ended up serving two complete terms in office from January 21, 1981 to January 21, 1989. His presidency has been termed the “Reagan Revolution” (Uranus) as it was regarded to have initiated a “political realignment” both within the U.S. and beyond in favor of his brand of conservatism and free markets.

Pioneering Mars was also strong in Theatrical Leo that day, and Reagan was previously “an actor” before becoming governor of California. Mars in Leo can usher in more “colorful” and “charismatic” leadership.

The Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and the North Node were also all in practical, “no frills” Virgo, maybe helping to foster more an acceptance of a message, on the part of the public, of a more “scaled down” type of government agenda and economic philosophy.

“Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.” Ronald Reagan

“Analysis kills spontaneity. The grain once ground into flour springs and germinates no more.” Henri Frederic Amiel

“Cosmic Word of The Day”: Analysis

Definition: 1) the separating of any material or abstract entity into its constituent elements 2) this process as a method of studying the nature of something or of determining its essential features and their relations;

Origin: 1575-85; < NL < Gk, equiv. to analy (ein) to loosen up (ana-+ly ein to loosen) + sis

COSMIC WEATHER:

Apart from today, we’ll have to wait another 26 years until we will have both the Moon and Saturn deposited together in the analytical sign of Virgo for the full day. Today, we have not only the Moon and Saturn in Virgo, but also the very sexy Venus and Mars. Making it an even more special day.

Also, for those new to astrology, the keywords for Virgo are “I analyze.” So we have a lot of rare analytical energy at our disposal now to figure things out for our lives. Perhaps, today is the day that we’ll be able to solve, or get keen insight into, some things that have been bugging us or derailing us for a while, so we can finally move forward.

We also know that wherever “Taskmaster Saturn” goes, is always B-I-G.  And, now Saturn is at the very end, the very last degree of Virgo.  Saturn first went into Virgo in September of 2007.

Too, with Saturn getting plenty of added support from the other planets now, before it leaves Virgo on July 21st for Libra, it could mean that we are readying ourselves for some kind of “big climatic finish” now.

Or, perhaps there is one thing in particular that the Universe maybe wants us to focus on, and figure out now, before Saturn bids analytical Virgo farewell and our mental faculties dramatically recede.

Of course, there are certainly enough serious problems and situations ongoing in the world today that demand our finest analysis and problem-solving abilities.

There is one elusive issue, however, that may be most important of all, over the long-term.  And, that is: How to get a date with actor George Clooney? Don’t you agree? It’s as if everything else pales in comparison at the end of the day, when you seriously think about it. I am almost 100% certain now that this must be the one singular issue that the Universe is hoping we solve now, especially since Venus and Mars are intimately involved and eloquently panting in the background and the perpetuation of the entire human species could be at hand.

“I’m the flavor of the month.” George Clooney

Famous July 15th Cancerian Birthdays: Forest Whitaker (49), Kim Alexis (50), Linda Ronstadt (64)

Enjoy your Thursday!

Let me know if you crack the “George riddle.”  Time’s quickly running out for us, but let’s try to remain positive here. Otherwise, we’ll have to wait another sorrowful 26 years. I don’t believe my heart could take it, George.

“It’s a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.” Albert Einstein

The Sun has moved out of sedentary Taurus and into the naturally curious and chatty sign of Gemini. Gemini natives are restless with eclectic interests. They are usually walking encyclopedias due to their inveterate fact-gathering. They also equally love to share the information that they have compiled.

This Gemini energy inclines us to be more inquisitive now in our daily lives.  It’s also a good time for us to take up new studies, although after that Einstein quote, perhaps we’re better off studying on our own versus anything formal.

The Moon in studious Virgo supports the Gemini Sun today insofar as both are ruled by the planet Mercury, which governs our reasoning ability, and both like to figure things out.  However, Virgo is much more thorough and detailed, while Gemini is more diffuse.

Nevertheless today is an excellent day for any projects or tasks that call for a good measure of analysis. We are also more introspective with the Virgo Moon.

Venus in sensitive Cancer turns the volume up on our emotional needs in relationships.

In the News…

With Jupiter and Uranus in idealistic Pisces continuing their opposition to austere Saturn in Virgo, the sign of labor, there were labor strikes in Greece and Spain Thursday over their respective governments belt-tightening (Saturn) measures.

Jupiter expands whatever it is connected with and conjoined now with rebel Uranus we see this configuration manifesting as the urge for revolt (depicted by Uranus) resulting in some measure of chaos and anarchy.  Jupiter and Uranus fueled by escapist Pisces want to defiantly break free but restrictive Saturn is like a noose around their neck and will not budge. No-frills Saturn is perennially about “doing more with less” and adhering to a budget. This is not sitting well with much of the populace.

Growth (Jupiter-Uranus) is possible now but it has to be based on sound principles and drawing from previous tried and true experience (Saturn).  It is much riskier going out and starting something new from scratch now and forget about starting anything lavish, without the necessary funds. Saturn won’t let you get away with it. Pluto won’t either!

We have also seen the financial markets tanking due in large part to debt-fears and worry (Saturn).

Remember a couple days ago in my horoscope when I wrote about the “weird” Sun square Neptune influence and that we had to be careful because we could get hoodwinked, especially financially.  I also discussed how that influence is often “ego-denying” and also how things sometime just “dissolve” and pass out of our lives under that configuration?

Unfortunately, that is exactly when we had that Paris art theft which robbed the world of five great paintings worth hundreds of millions of dollars, including works by Picasso and Matisse.  Neptune rules art and paintings and the challenging square that day from the acquisition-oriented Taurus Sun (ruling money and possessions) perhaps cosmically fueled this greedy act by the perpetrators. Neptune rules con men and “get rich quick schemes” and even though that day I wrote to steer clear of trying to make a fast buck, these criminal minds did exactly that.

I do believe, however, that the Universe has a way of balancing the karmic scales, so whoever did this will eventually have to pay, one way or the other, but in the meantime, it is very sad that these  (Neptune) paintings have suddenly “dissolved” from world view. That is often how Neptune energy operates, we can’t understand why certain things have to “pass away.”  John F. Kennedy was assassinated under a strong Neptune influence (Saturn square Neptune).

Speaking of “world view” also with Sun square Neptune this week the Pakistani government blocked YouTube and Facebook citing “growing sacrilegious” content.  Neptune rules imagery and photos and also gives a preoccupation with spiritual matters.  Neptune is presently in the sign of Aquarius which rules the internet. Anyway, thought it was very interesting that with the Sun-Neptune, internet images were “banned” or suddenly snatched away again (Neptune’s dissolving ray) as well, at the same time as the paintings.

Wrapping it up here (it’s often hard for me to do with Jupiter in Gemini), yesterday we had the Sun sextile Uranus influence.  If you recall in yesterday’s blog, I mentioned that it was cool energy and very innovative.  Uranus rules genius and invention, as well as scientific breakthroughs.  Well, it was announced Thursday that the world’s first synthetic life form has been built. Definitely an Uranian announcement.  Also, must give some credit here to Mercury (governing news and communication) trine Pluto, as Pluto rules scientific research governing life and death areas.  Mercury-Pluto perennially delivers up news about historic firsts and it came through again for us here.

Enjoy your Friday! Give someone a warm hug with Venus in Cancer.

Patricia Thompson’s Horoscope May 17, 2010: Overindulgence

“The proximity of a desirable thing tempts one to overindulgence.  On that path lies danger.” Frank Herbert


With Venus ruling what we love, squared in a challenging way to Jupiter, the planet of abundance, the Universe is setting us up to learn a thing or two about moderation, and the wisdom of practicing it in our daily lives.

We also have a harmonious sextile to expansive Jupiter from the Sun.  While we may be provided with a few goodies and cosmic rewards for our past efforts today, again the key here is to not to be tempted to go overboard with our success and what the Universe is giving us.

This can be a more difficult lesson to learn now since the Moon is also in Cancer.  That Moon placement suggests that we are already very emotionally poised and looking for all manner of self-comfort and security. We may perceive having more of “what we love” as a good thing.  But, that is exactly how we hoodwink ourselves now and end up tipping the scales.  Jupiter in Pisces can also add an element of danger here, as it can be addictive and escapist in behavior when it is in this sign.

It was interesting that we did hear a bit of good news yesterday about the BP oil leak, that engineers may finally have a handle on containing more oil from leaking out.  Pisces rules both the sea and oil.  Today’s, Sun sextile to Jupiter in Pisces, which was already applying the last couple days in terms of orb of influence, can be a “lucky” aspect due to the expansive nature of Jupiter, and Jupiter is again in the sign of Pisces, perhaps more favorable for the sea.

However, when we look at the matter of Jupiter more closely, we see that Jupiter is also now part of a stressful configuration of cosmic energies forming what is known as a “mutable T-Cross” involving the signs of Gemini, Virgo, Pisces and the planets Uranus, Venus and Saturn.  So after hearing about the good news about the oil, we also heard that the damage to the Gulf of Mexico from the leak may now be much worse than initially feared.

Event in history on this date:

On May 17, 2004 we lost a giant in the entertainment industry.  Actor Tony Randall died at the age of 84.  He was best known for his role of Felix Unger in the ABC sitcom The Odd Couple (1970-1975) in which he portrayed a “neat freak.”

Tony Randall was an imaginative Pisces (b. 2/26/20) with a comedic Gemini Moon and tasteful Libra Rising. In addition to his signature role of Felix Unger, he also played roles as drunks and depressives.  Those latter roles, too, are what we are more apt to think of as falling under Pisces, a sign that is often associated with addiction and mental health issues.  Pisces natives are highly sensitive to their environments and thereby potentially more vulnerable to despair.

So, where did his ability to so eloquently play a “neat freak” come in?  Tony had his creative Pisces Sun exactly opposite fault-finding Saturn which was also placed in Virgo, the most critical sign of the zodiac and also the neatest, in terms of cleanliness.  Virgo will obsess over the tiniest things being out of place.  With his Pisces Sun, Tony was able to illuminate and channel all that “nitpicky energy” and give it a face we will never forget.

Interestingly, Tony also transitioned to his new life beyond the earth plane when the transiting Jupiter was exactly conjunct his natal Saturn in Virgo opposite his Sun. (Transiting Uranus was also on his Sun at the time.)  Perhaps the Universe needed someone to play Felix Unger again and could find no one better for that part, so he was drafted for the role.

We miss you Tony.  May your spirit rest in peace.

Enjoy your Monday! Limit the donuts!

Patricia Thompson’s Horoscope April 19, 2010: Baby Steps, Pope

“Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand: Come and see my shining palace built upon the sand!” Edna St. Vincent Millay.

The Moon enters nesting Cancer at 7:39 am EDT accenting home and family matters. Cancerian energy is nurturing and protective and is sometimes afraid of letting go or venturing outside of perceived comfort zones. If instead of taking giant leaps forward today, some of us may wish to begin our respective journeys with baby steps, that’s quite alright. What’s most important, is that we make that first step. Sometimes, too, when we proceed more tentatively, we become aware of meaningful realities that we never even knew existed.

The Sun is finishing up its annual romp in Aries today.  It’s perhaps a little pooped, anyway, getting ready to head into consolidating Taurus.  So much recent focus on self-discovery and trailblazing. The Sun’s quinqunx to Saturn in Virgo  also has Saturn asking the Sun now for a full acccounting of  what he has gleaned in recent weeks.  He is anxious for the Sun to perfect himself and his skills.

“This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections.” Saint Augustine.

Memorable event in history on this date: April 19, 2005 – Pope Benedict XVI, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, becomes the 265th Pope. The Cardinal (b. 4/16/27) had the transiting and transforming Pluto in Sagittarius exactly conjoined his 10th house of career when he became Pope. Pluto often delivers to us those life-altering experiences and circumstances that can only be described as our destiny. Pluto also rules power and control and Pluto’s alignment on his 10th house conferred upon him the ultimate power as head of the Catholic church. The sign of Sagittarius is on the Cardinal’s career house in his birth chart, originally suggesting a possible life path in religion, as Sagittarius rules traditional religion. The Pope also has several other aspects in his horoscope that reiterate a more spiritually focused undertaking for this life.

Peace and love, everyone.  Enjoy your Monday!

Saturn-Uranus 2010: New Same-Sex Hospital Rules

16 Friday Apr 2010

Posted by in April 2010 Astrology

President Obama ordered new rules Thursday allowing for “same sex hospital visits.”  The new regulations give gays and lesbians the right to visit their partners in the hospital and have input into their care.  This marriage benefit has been something that has not always been extended to gay couples.

“Gay and lesbian Americans…are often barred from the bedsides of the partners with whom they may have spent decades of their lives-unable to be there for the person they love, and unable to act as a legal surrogate if their partner is incapacitated,” Mr. Obama said in his order according to the online Wall Street Journal.

These new rules come on the heels of Saturn’s retrograde back into the sign of Virgo (Virgo rules health) and its opposition to change-agent Uranus in Pisces (Pisces rules hospitals).  Saturn pertains to rules and established protocol while oppositions bring about “turning points.” Uranus, as ruler of the expanded, liberated collective Aquarius, would be representative of gays and lesbians here.

Rebel Uranus characteristically attempts to overturn the structure that Saturn has put into place, especially when that structure has the affect of “stifling or repressing” individual self-expression. In this instance, Uranus in Pisces served as a catalyst for changing the rules (Saturn) that hospitals (Pisces) have traditionally followed, regarding the dissemination of health care services (Virgo).  Uranus in Pisces triggered the need for new policy with a wider application among a diverse population group. The present Saturn opposition to Uranus formally “finalized” this policy change.

Additionally supportive for the implementation of these new rules: Venus, which rules love relationships, and Mercury, which governs thinking, are conjoined now in practical, workable Taurus. Both planets are also harmoniously sextile to expansive Jupiter in Pisces, the sign of hospitals. Venus aligned with Jupiter is traditionally regarded as one of the “luckiest aspects” in astrology, bringing about favorable conditions and circumstances.  So, on the surface, this would seem to be an especially good time (Jupiter) to usher in new guidelines (Mercury) pertaining to “intimate couples” (Venus). Jupiter’s ray is such that it tends to have a broadening or growth affect on the areas or activities that are ruled by the sign that it is passing through.  Jupiter intrinsically represents and fosters new growth opportunities and generally coincides with a more optimistic outlook.
