COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon’s ingress into plodding, deliberate Taurus the Bull (2:46 am EST) is an elixir for all things practical. The Taurus Moon is generally a very good grounding or stabilizing influence. It’s also ideal for gardening or planting activities, especially for planting above ground crops today, as the Moon is working up to its Full Moon phase tomorrow in this sign.

Too, the Moon’s monthly conjunction with buoyant Jupiter (10:21 am EST), the largest planet in our solar system, can help to put us in more hopeful and generous spirit, with Jupiter often billed as the cosmic Santa Claus. The Moon is also forming a potent trine to healing, regenerating Pluto, in success-oriented Capricorn (2:08 pm EDT), which is another earth sign. With Moon-Pluto energy, we often receive added clarity or insight into matters and can successfully re-plot our courses or strategies as a result. It is also an excellent influence for locating missing objects or ferreting out what has been hidden in general, including hidden within our subconscious (Pluto rules psychology and psychotherapy).

Neptune, the planet of spirituality and illusion, is also stationing direct today in hi-tech Aquarius (1:54 pm EDT), after going retrograde in Pisces, the sign of its rulership, in early June. Neptune will be leaving Aquarius for good in early February of 2012. It will not be back in Aquarius in our lifetimes. During its passage through Aquarius, beginning in the late 1990s, we have, of course, seen an explosion in technology, which has created more connectedness among all of us via the internet. Neptune, too, perennially acts to dissolve boundaries. It’s labeled the “Great Dissolver.”

On the shadow side, though, Neptune can also foster addictions, dependencies, cover-ups and deception. Too, many of us have become psychologically and physically enslaved to our various technological devices with Neptune in Aquarius. Maybe with Neptune leaving Aquarius, we will be able to gradually wean ourselves away from them. Thought it was very symbolic, too, that Steve Jobs died with Neptune getting ready to leave this sign, as he had done so many pioneering things for the tech industry, showered us with so many dazzling, magical gadgets.

Also, on the shadow side, for the last several days with energizer Mars opposite dissolving Neptune, and earlier, Venus in Scorpio squaring Neptune, we have been hearing about major scandals in the collective. Also there has been a plethora of nauseating finger-pointing and innuendo. We have also seen high-profile leaders topple from their positions of power. Neptune, as I have mentioned here repeatedly, is the planet that is linked with scandal. It is also associated with resignations, surrender and “falls from grace.” Too, it rules oil, and oil prices have been going up the last few days, mainly on fears that Iran is building nuclear weapons, a story that came to light in the collective yesterday with the rogue Sun-Uranus sesquiquadrate aspect.

On an individual level, with Neptune stationing direct now, we may want to see where in our personal lives, we have allowed ourselves to become deluded or addicted. Where have we been harboring erroneous illusions? One clue here, too, is to look at the house (area of life) in our personal charts where Neptune is passing. Hopefully, that foggy veil will begin lifting now in the days and weeks ahead. We may also want to pay closer attention to our nocturnal dreams now for extra insight or messages, another realm which Neptune rules.

Astrology June 21, 2011: Mercury Square Stern Saturn

COSMIC WATCH:

“Question reality, especially if it contradicts the evidence of your hopes and dreams.”  ~Robert Brault

We have mental Mercury in vulnerable Cancer squaring off with stern, reality kingpin Saturn in balancing Libra. This is one of those days when we may need to earnestly strive to see the glass half-full, as naysayer Saturn tends to conjure up our doubts and fears. We begin to second-guess ourselves.

Not to worry, though. There is surely a patch of blue sky with sunshine around us somewhere. We just have to find a way to align our personal orbits so that they will eventually intersect with this more inspiring outcome. With Saturn’s narrowing ray stoked, it is often helpful to step outside of ourselves in a bid to gain wider perspective.

Also, we do have the Moon steeped in mystical, nirvana-seeking Pisces, which should be a blessing for us here. The Moon in Pisces also helps to inspire compassion in us. Too, we may want to remember to use some of this on ourselves now, as part of our own self-care.

In the Northern Hemisphere, it is also the day of the magical summer solstice (1:16 pm EDT), when the empowering Sun enters nurturing, nesting Cancer, where it will stay for the next month. This ingress also serves to sensitize our nature and gets us much more in touch with our feelings, as well as our nostalgic past. Our need to put down firm, stable roots, is very vital to us now, as we seek out activities or interests that make us feel more secure, with special emphasis centered on the home and family arenas.

“When you look at your life, your greatest happinesses are family happinesses.” Joyce Brothers

Happy Solstice Day!

Astrology June 16, 2011: Dull Boy Jack’s Back, Weiner Resigns

COSMIC WATCH:

“A young man without ambition is an old man waiting to be.” Steven Brust

The Moon’s entrance into professionally ambitious Capricorn (1:59 am EDT) bolds well for a comeback for “Dull Boy Jack” today. 🙂 The practical Capricorn Moon phase is generally a time when we become more serious and disciplined about our work and wanting to get ahead. We attempt to maximize our resources and look for ways to increase our efficiency.

There are three potential lunar hot spots to watch out for, however, as the Cardinal T-Square is being temporarily activated today, and that can make us feel more internal pressure or restlessness (too we are still coming off of the high-energy Eclipse energy from yesterday) :

Moon square “rebel” Uranus (9:36 am EDT), when we are duly advised not to replicate Johnny Paycheck’s mighty effort (sang Take This Job And Shove It), unless we have a sure backup plan. Moon conjunct “despot” Pluto (1:23 pm EDT) at which time we might possibly consider launching a coup d’etat in the boss’ office, although again, this impulsive strategy could backfire on us, especially on pay day, when there is no one around to sign our paltry check. Moon square “denying” Saturn in conjugal Libra (8:24 pm EDT) when it is strongly suggested that we try not to indiscretely mix our love and work interests.

Again, the Cardinal-T Square activation does not have to be bad, it can be a highly creative period when we are challenged to perform at our best level. For instance, singer Elvis Presley, a Capricorn Sun, was born with a Cardinal T-Square in his chart and he did pretty good for himself. Most people on the planet have heard of Elvis and have listened to his music.

The main thing today is to stay focused, organized, and on task with what it is that we want to accomplish. The best way to do this, too, is to write down our objectives on paper, beforehand, and then hold ourselves accountable for completing them at the end of the day (“reality based” Saturn-type behavior – Saturn rules Capricorn).

Mental Mercury is also shifting from “chatty” Gemini to “let’s make some Hallmark Card memories” Cancer (3:09 pm EDT). With Mercury in sentimental, familial Cancer our emotions filter more into our thinking and there is greater sensitivity to what’s being said and also what’s not being said. It’s a more psychic or intuitive placement, although it can make us somewhat moodier (Cancer the Crab).

News Update: With the activation of the Cardinal-T-Cross today (which often necessitates our taking action on important issues), and on the heels of yesterday’s eclipse, it is being reported that Anthony Weiner (D-NY) is poised to resign today from his post in the U.S. Congress, in the aftermath of the “sexting” scandal. I have not personally looked at his horoscope, but understand that he is a Virgo Sun. Often times with eclipses, especially solar eclipses (which we had June 1st and will have again on July 1st) we have public figures “falling from power” (an eclipsing of position).

Too, we just had Karma Lord Saturn turn direct last week in congressional Libra, which can be a “payback time” for our past efforts, good or bad. I personally wish Weiner well and hope he is able to get his life back on track for himself, and for his family, in the future. We all make mistakes.

Weiner Press Conference Update: Anthony Weiner reportedly entered a press conference room this afternoon at 2:21 pm EDT to formally announce his resignation from office. Fascinatingly, Karma Lord Saturn in Libra was conjunct the 12 degree Libra Ascendant then, indicating the more serious nature of the event (at least for Weiner). The Ascendant reveals the “current atmosphere or conditions.” Saturn is linked with karma because it is the planet associated with accountability.

Too, the Capricorn Moon was in the third house of communication (fitting placement for a press conference) and separating from an exact conjunction with intense, purging Pluto which governs death and rebirth, and the conference was dramatic and a “death” of sorts for the congressman, as he was resigning from his prestigious position in which he wielded formidable power (Pluto). There was also some loud heckling going on in the background as Weiner spoke at the press conference. Pluto can often bring about vociferous, heated opposition (the hecklers actually tried to hijack the press conference and did a pretty good job of it, similar to the coup d’etat I wrote about in my horoscope today).

Interestingly, Pluto is also linked with sexual issues and or transgressions. Also obsessive-compulsive behavior. Reportedly, too, included in the heckling were some derogatory remarks of a sexual nature.

Astrology June 3, 2011: “Tricky Energy” Mercury Square Neptune

COSMIC WATCH:

“Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.” John Allen Paulos

The Moon’s entrance into nesting Cancer (4:37 am EDT) encourages us to get back to our familial roots. It also raises the volume up on our emotions, especially those centered around our protective instincts. We may need to rein in feelings of rebelliousness and defensiveness when the Moon squares freedom-loving Uranus in Aries (12:05 pm EDT) and opposes controlling Pluto in career Capricorn (5:09 pm EDT).

There is also a “tricky” aspect to the day with mental Mercury in Gemini’s  square to nebulous, confusing Neptune which can serve to fog up our perceptions. We are cautioned not to believe all that we hear today and are well-served to thoroughly comb through all the facts. Neptune’s ray can be very deceptive and misleading. It is also linked with scandals and cover-ups.

On the plus side, it can be excellent time for any creative work that utilizes our powers of imagination, which Neptune governs. Neptune is also stationing retrograde today favorable for turning our focus inward (Neptune rules spirituality). Neptune stays retrograde until early November.

“As we grow old, the beauty steals inward.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Enjoy your Friday!
