“Friendship is the golden thread that ties the heart of all the world.”John Evelyn
The empowering Sun exits “I have” Taurus and cascades into “I think” Gemini, shifting our core focus from an accumulation of things and a quest for security to an accumulation of knowledge (5:22 am EDT) and eager interaction with others. Restless Gemini is characterized by a “need to know” and also requires active participation in its environment via travel and communication. (The Sun will be in intellectual Gemini for the next month.)
Later on, we also have the Moon departing personally ambitious Capricorn for forward-thinking, detached Aquarius (10:32 pm EDT), another socially-minded air sign, like Gemini, in which attention is centered on group expression and collaborative efforts.
Goddess of love Venus, in pleasure-seeking Taurus, is additionally forming a potent, harmonious trine to passionate, renewing Pluto in Capricorn (2:01 pm EDT), potentially giving us the chance to deepen or strengthen (or heal) our relationship ties. Venus-Pluto often puts us in touch with our deepest desires (Pluto rules the subconscious) and helps to foster particularly strong emotional reactions to persons and events around us.
Often on Venus-Pluto days, we will be riveted by certain captivating stories that we hear about in the news regarding relationships and romance. Or, even Venus-ruled artists or entertainers may capture our attention in a special or singular way. Lady Gaga, for instance, racked up, I believe, 7 or 8 Grammy Awards one night, when Venus and Pluto were exactly aligned in the sky, effectively “stealing the show.”
Too, sometimes old lovers from our past, including our karmic past, appear under this same aspect. It is an influence that is linked with finding our soulmate. (Pluto rules death and rebirth).
This same aspect also favors going treasure-hunting. I recently “fell in love” with, and ended up purchasing, a fabulous pinkish, salmon-colored, upholstered chair at a tag sale the day Venus and Pluto were exactly aligned in my horoscope (Venus rules art and other objects of beauty). As soon as I set my eyes on the chair, I was “overpowered” (Venus-Pluto) by it, and simply had to have it. Venus-Pluto is also associated with “obsession” or “intense craving.” This aspect is also excellent for personal creativity.

“My passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today; I knew it then as purpose.” Bette Davis
Mars, the planet of drive and self-assertion, enters its own home turf of Aries today (12:51 am EDT), where it will stay until May 11th. Mars in its own sign tends to be very impulsive, yet also courageous and daring. Its placement here helps to fuel our desires, including our sexual desires, which Mars also governs. With Mars in adventurous Aries, the sign of identity and self-discovery, we may feel the urge to “act quickly” on our dreams.
The Moon also enters Aries today (7:17 am EDT) in preparation for its New Moon on Sunday (10:33 am EDT). All told, when it does, we will have a total of six of the celestial bodies in “steroidal” Aries: the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Uranus. The Moon also conjuncts freedom-loving Uranus (9:46 am EDT) and squares intense, controlling Pluto (10:26 pm EDT). Also, Mars will be conjuncting high-voltage Uranus on Sunday.
Additionally, love maven Venus is forming a fortuitous, 60-degree aspect to transforming Pluto today. This aspect can magnetically boost our “power of attraction.” Venus-Pluto can also deepen our relationships and heighten our passions.
Too, Venus-Pluto aspects are often regarded as times when we may “meet our soulmates.” This is because in karmic astrology, Pluto is linked with our “past lives” and Venus, of course, rules love. Retrograde Mercury (which we also have now) has also been known to put “people from our past,” back into our orbit.

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive.”Howard Thurman
COSMIC WEATHER:
“Connection queen” Venus, symbolizing the urge for love and beauty in our lives, is forming a powerhouse conjunction to “passionate” Pluto in “worldly ambitious” Capricorn on Feb. 9, 2011 at 8:49 pm EST. Our relationships (Venus) can serve as potent transformers (Pluto) for us now, with Pluto governing the urge for regeneration or renewal.
We potentially have more of a palpable need for intense emotional (Pluto) experiences with this configuration, especially on the romantic and social fronts (Venus). But, perhaps, even in the boardroom (Capricorn). What has been buried and hidden in our subconscious (Pluto), our deepest sequestered desires and feelings, could suddenly rise to the surface now, filtering through to our conscious awareness, beckoning us for immediate processing or at least closer scrutiny.
It could also be a turning point time for us, in terms of coming to an understanding about what we need from others in the way of love or intimacy. May also include some “aha” moments regarding what we may be able to give or commit to where others are concerned. Too, Venus-Pluto can, on occasion, bring us our “soul mates,” or important hookups from our past (Pluto). Even new, short-term relationships are more likely to impact or transfix us on a deeper emotional level now.
Because Pluto also has to do with the urge for power and control, the shadow element of this aspect could find us acting more on the manipulative or possessive side, especially if we feel that our relationships are being threatened or undermined in any way. Venus-Pluto can be very jealous and demanding. Especially in authoritative Capricorn.
Too, sometimes we try to selfishly capitalize on our relationship ties with Venus-Pluto. There can be more of an emotional desperation about us for varied reasons. We may not even consciously know what is driving us (subconscious Pluto). Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, for example, was reportedly “caught” trying to sell access to her former husband Prince Andrew on a day when Venus-Pluto was forming a tight aspect in the sky. Remember that incident? Many of us were really taken aback by that event. Simultaneously, it was a tragic thing to witness, the descent of Fergie all captured on film. Also, several months ago, the weird story of the “Balloon Boy” unfolded with a Venus-Pluto transit. That was another story that emotionally gripped many of us and played upon our sympathies. I can still see that balloon crossing the sky in my mind’s eye over a rural section of Colorado. Like so many, I was personally hoping that if there was a little boy inside the balloon, that he would be alright.
In another instance and on another level, Lady Gaga, who could be described as very “Venus-Pluto,” for her magnetic sensuality and provocative stage persona as an artist (Venus rules artists and entertainers), walked away during an awards ceremony in Hollywood last year with, I believe, eight awards, effectively “stealing the show,” on the very same day that Venus and Pluto were exact in the sky. A perfect day to “make a big splash” before the collective.
Venus also rules money and possessions. Aligned with domineering Pluto (Pluto denotes other people’s resources), we want to make sure that we are in general agreement with our mate or partner on how to spend or invest our joint resources before making major moves on our own now. With Venus-Pluto there could also be opportunity to transform or overhaul our financial situation, but we do want to make sure that we do the necessary due diligence here before shifting things around.
Too, with Venus-Pluto conjoined in status-conscious Capricorn, this may be a pivotal time to network on the business or professional front, as we are potentially more capable of making a potent (Pluto) impact on others. We, of course, do need to keep mindful of the image that we are projecting outward and that it frames us favorably. We definitely do not want to be “acting out” too emotionally in public, as that could actually destabilize our image now, or notoriously besmirch our reputation (Capricorn).

“You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.”Albert Einstein
The Universe must have great confidence in our multi-tasking abilities. Unless, it’s deliberately being sadistic with us! What I am alluding to here is the fact that we have several potent aspects stacked up on our plates today to existentially grapple with. Of course, the real biggie is the New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse at 13 degrees 39 minutes of Capricorn, the first lunation of the new year. We have six eclipses on tap for this year: four partial solar and two total lunar. We haven’t had this many partial solar eclipses in one year since 1982, the same year that Michael Jackson released “Thriller,” the biggest selling album of all time. Also, that was the year that the Vietnam Memorial was formally dedicated in Washington D.C., occurring only a few days before MJ’s “Thriller” release in late November 1982.
Ironically, the original chairman of the Vietnam Memorial project, John Wheeler, was found murdered this past New Year’s eve. His body was tragically found in a landfill in Delaware. Also, today, it’s kind of weird, but Dr. Conrad Murray begins to testify in a pre-trial hearing in a court in LA with respect to MJ’s death. Of course, neither of these events have anything to do with the eclipse today. Just two interesting parallels that I thought I’d point out, since I happened to stumble upon them by accident, when I was reviewing events in 1982 in Wikipedia for this blog today.
Solar and lunar eclipses are special new and full moons. They often usher in notable events, for both individuals and the collective. Eclipses often “speed things up.” They can suddenly open up new doors for us. Monthly new moons traditionally denote new opportunities, with the eclipse being somewhat the equivalent of a new moon on steroids. The impact of an eclipse can last up to six months. Too, sometimes the affects of an eclipse are not felt immediately.
The few days right before the eclipse are especially highly-charged, and it is on those days when we really want to think about, and formulate, our new moon intentions, and make time for serious prayer and meditation. Especially advisable for single women now: Profoundly meditating on the sacred image of George Clooney. This is largely because George also has his natal Moon in Capricorn, closely conjunct cautious Saturn. Just thought I’d throw that in here. So George doesn’t think we’re completely abandoning him, caught up in all the momentary hoopla of the red hot eclipse. 🙂 (Also, at this end of this blog, I have included a bit about a real-life dream that I just had about GC, if you’re interested in reading about it. It was really, more like a nightmare!)
Those who have planets or horoscope angles from 10 to 17 degrees of the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), will likely be most impacted by this eclipse. Also, all of us need to note the house in our birth charts where the eclipse is occurring, as the affairs of that house now are definitely being energized, and likely awaiting prompt, eager response from our delicate little brains.
Of course, whether any of this “opening door” stuff will also coincide with the miraculous arrival of the Publisher’s Clearing House sweepstakes crew to our front door, is highly doubtful. Although, we should never entirely give up hope here. I, for instance, just ordered 320 new magazines for the year in an earnest bid to effortlessly guide the PCH folks to the exact location of my house. I also have pictures of the late, great Ed McMahon, posted on my street mailbox, and in them he’s further pointing the way to my front door, as I have known about this eclipse for many months now and its’ possible ramifications for my life, if I take certain, drastic measures.
Capricorn is symbolized by the goat climbing up the mountain, with the mountain personifying success. Capricorn wants to be successful in whatever it does, so this eclipse new moon will likely have the net affect of firing up our ambitions. It’s the perfect time to really get going on our new year’s resolutions, be it to lose weight, or become chairman of the board. Win the PCH sweepstakes.
Arianna Huffington, in her “Sunday Roundup” at The Huffington Post on Sunday, mentioned that, this year, she was “deleting” some things from her resolution list, that she earlier thought she would do one day, but realizes now that she will never do. She is checking these resolutions off “as complete,” and crossing them off her list, so she can focus on “freeing up space for those projects” she is truly committed to. This is very reflective of the typical Capricornian-mindset, which is very utilitarian and realistic in its approach.
Also read in the Wall Street Journalthat Oprah Winfrey doesn’t even make resolutions anymore. She was quoted in there as saying: “I don’t make them, because I live in the space that I’m in right now. I move with the flow, live in the moment.” I guess, that approach also has its useful (Capricorn) advantages to it, as with that philosophy, you are maximizing, or at least attempting to anyway, what the present has to offer, instead of focusing on a future that is not at all guaranteed. Although, Capricorn also tends to be very cautious, likes to always have a plan in place, and is generally not very impromptu.
A Capricorn eclipse most likely will not bring us rapid fire gains, but rather signifies success as a result of self-discipline, commitment, hard work, and being pragmatic. Capricorn is not comfortable getting dragged into any obscure, or pie-in-the-sky endeavors. It wants to know, from the get-go, what it is dealing with. This may be especially the case, this go-round, as the eclipse forms a tight square with Karma Lord Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn. Saturn perennially delights in holding our feet to the fire, making us accountable. Both Saturn, and Capricorn, are totally turned off by irresponsibility. It could be, too, that this eclipse coincides with a more difficult time for persons in positions of power or management. Especially for those who have been under-performing, as Capricorn rules authority figures, and the Sun denotes leadership.
With the “Saturn square,” too, we tend to be more critical (Saturn) of our leaders and higher-ups, much less willing to cut them any slack. Could be, too, this eclipse is a catalyst for changes in many corporate boardrooms around the world. Changes that could even trickle down to the local PTA hierarchy level. Maybe even into our own workplace offices. Of course, we also have the new U.S. Congress taking office, this week, with a Republican-controlled House, voted in on an apparent mandate to cut spending (synonymous with this Capricorn eclipse more “budget-minded” mentality).
Too, it appears that Capt. Owen Honors of the USS Enterprise is going to be officially relieved of his duties, perhaps as early as today, for airing lewd videos for his crew aboard the aircraft. While this airing actually occurred a few years ago, his activities were only really publicly brought to light on the eve of the eclipse. Fascinatingly, Jupiter and Uranus are exactly conjunct in Pisces now, the zodiacal sign which rules film-making. Jupiter-Uranus can bring about sudden revelations!
The Jupiter and Uranus exact conjunction in watering hole Pisces (7:50 am EST) is, in fact, a big player in today’s lunation chart. These two guys have become pretty good drinking buddies, as of late. They have been basically paired up with each other for the last six months or so. Mostly in caring, underdog, dreamy Pisces, a short time in adventurous Aries. They are both headed back to Aries this year. Jupiter and Uranus won’t be conjunct again, however, until 2024. So this aspect is big news.
Again, Jupiter-Uranus can bring sudden breakthroughs (esp. in science, technology, internet) that significantly change or alter the playing field, both individually and collectively. Mentally, we may also envision grander possibilities for ourselves, perhaps see things in a totally new light. This is because Jupiter tends to expand or grow our consciousness. It is the planet of opportunity and abundance. Innovator Uranus, denotes change, and sudden flashes of genius and intuition. Uranus additionally rules humanitarian causes, and equality issues. Pisces, too, is a very compassionate sign. President Obama, for instance, just signed a big bill on Monday to give 9/11 first responders health care benefits. Was there ever a group more deserving? I don’t think so. It is also very exciting that we have this upbeat conjunction in place with this more practical Capricorn eclipse, as it gives us a desire to dream big (Pisces rules dreams), yet at the same time we are aware that we must work hard to turn our dreams into reality.
Additionally with this Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in place, we recently saw the historic repeal of the DADT bill in the U.S., which prevented gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military, a big leap forward for our nation, in my opinion. Another example of Uranus coming to the plate for us for equality and civil rights issues. I also mentioned in the last eclipse report for late Dec., that this same conjunction in 1969 in the sign of Libra coincided with the first “Moon walk,” yet another leap for all of mankind.
Also, there was more news, yesterday, of a possibly big breakthrough in cancer screening, in which even just one cancer cell may be able to be detected in the body. Wouldn’t that be great? How many lives might be saved with early detection? My mother sadly died of cancer on January 3, 1996. I also lost my husband to cancer. Who among us had not lost somebody to cancer? I wager to say, none of us.
To discern this conjunction’s magical meaning in our own lives, we should look to see the house that it is falling in, in our personal charts, to see where we may be experiencing sudden breakthroughs, or be arriving at fresh new understandings. Maybe even where miracles may be occurring. And, of course, we may have been already experiencing some of these things for the last several months, as this is the final phase of this opportunity cycle. Also, those persons who have planets or angles in their horoscopes at 27 degrees of the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) are going to be impacted the most by this final pairing of these two planets. I have my Jupiter at 27 Gemini, so, I guess, I am among the “chosen few” here. Could be because of my annual contribution to PCH. Jupiter in Gemini loves to read.
Finally, love goddess Venus (ruling relationships and money), presently deposited in the latter degrees of passionate Scorpio, also figures prominently in today’s lunation chart. Venus is exactly square to Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius, and she is also in a magical, harmonious trine to the Jupiter and Uranus conjunction.
Venus-Neptune is all about glamorizing or idealizing romance, having fantasy or phantom lovers (GC?), romantic involvement with individuals who are often, in reality, not at all as they appear to be on the surface. We can also fall head over heels for people who are not free (could be married or otherwise committed), or they are maybe on a different wavelength than us. We can also be tempted to play the role of martyr under this influence. Neptune rules actors. artists, musicians, creative types in general, so I guess now, I am personally very vulnerable since I have a crush on both Clooney (actor) and Jagger (musician). 🙂
Venus-Neptune is a classic deceptive marker, so we need to be very careful that we are not lied to and played like a fiddle for a short time, and then sadly dumped by the curbside for Monday morning garbage pick-up. New romantic relationships that strike up now need to be given the test of time, to see if the other person can really, “walk their talk,” and chew spearmint gum at the same time! Few can. Also, we may want to run in-depth background checks on these new lovers. Definitely we need to be cautious about giving them any of our hard-earned cash. Additionally, we may want to lock up our valuable art work, especially our prized “paint-by-number pieces,” as this is a shifty influence associated with art thefts!
Simultaneously, Venus in Scorpio trine Jupiter and Uranus in spiritual Pisces could signify for us the formation of new, expansive relationships and friendships with more “highly-evolved” types, who are into helping humanity. Or, we may also be more attracted to scientific types (Uranus) or inventors. Too, there’s a chance that we could even become infatuated with computer geeks (Uranus). This trine could also possibly denote the arrival of a soul mate, since Scorpio does rule past lives, and Venus rules lovers.
With Venus-Uranus, we are more attracted to, and or more accepting of, persons who maybe are a little bit different from us, or who are maybe more unconventional in general. Entertainment-wise, we may also want to engage in activities that wildly or radically deviate from our usual routine. We also may be want to participate in group activities now, which Uranus rules.
Too, Venus-Jupiter characteristically is all about indulging in fun and pleasure. It can be very romantic. Venus-Uranus often brings about sudden attractions. Instant love! But remember, we still need to get the new love interest fingerprinted and thoroughly checked out, just as a precaution, due to Venus-Neptune. Later on, if we see that there might be some real potential, we may also want to go ahead and carefully administer an upright vacuuming test. In addition to asking the person directly, how they really feel about passionately vacuuming alone in the dark, especially during an eclipse. Do they like it, or not? If no, why not? Again, with Venus-Neptune, we must probe. Probe, probe, probe. 🙂
“Lose your dreams and you might lose your mind” Mick Jagger. Especially if I lose my dream about you, Mick!
Okay. Now to my dream about George Clooney: I did actually have a dream/nightmare about George on New Year’s day, during a short “solo” nap alone (: in the middle of the day. In the weird thing, I remember looking out of my front living room window in my house, and seeing George standing in my front yard, with another nondescript man of color, who I did not recognize. The other guy was kind of a big guy. Probably his bodyguard.
George was wearing a sexy black leather jacket and faded blue jeans. But, to the best of my recollection, he did not appear to have any whips or chains under his arms, or at least, any that I could see, and trust me, I was looking for them. Unfortunately, too, in the dream, George ended up walking AWAY from my house with that guy, without even venturing to ring my doorbell. Symbolically, I took this as a very bad omen. He should have been walking TOWARDS my house instead. Don’t you think?
My house also probably signifies my physical body. A real slap in the face that George can’t even bring himself to ringing my bell! Does anyone out there do dream interpretation? Know maybe what this dream about Clooney may mean, or portend for me? Could it mean that I’m suppose to move perhaps more in the direction of Mick Jagger, with my natal, dual-lover, Venus in Gemini placement? Seek Mick out for my spiritual and emotional rescue? 🙂

The Night Goddess Moon is conducting quality control in Continuous Improvement Virgo. We may want to follow her example and set about improving procedures and protocol in our own lives.
The Virgo Moon loves dissecting and breaking things apart to observe operational efficiencies. Virgo symbolically rules the digestive system in the body.
Too, with the Illuminating Sun in Sexy Scorpio, a sign that is also highly investigative in its own right, some of us now may want to undertake a thorough analysis of our more intimate night moves, with a thought on how to perfect them. Scorpio does rules sex therapy. 🙂
It should also be noted that today, The Love Maven herself, Ms. Venus, in Passionate Scorpio, is involved in yet another retrograde linkup with Penetrating Pluto in High Achievement Capricorn. This is compliments of that “naughty little sextile aspect.” What this means is that we may be infinitely more appealing to the opposite sex now. Hooray!!!
So, despite the fact that it’s a Monday, we probably need to get off of our duffs and back to work casting those heavy-duty love spells, brewing up those alluring love potions, as these efforts may finally pay off for a change. Who knows, George Clooney may even appear on our doorstep again, if we are diligent enough in our spell-making.
Mesmerizing Venus-Pluto can sometimes even brings us “our soulmate.” Or at least, with a Tidy Virgo Moon also beaming down, someone with “above average” vacuuming skills, a much-needed talent which can do wonders for preserving relationships in the long run.
Activities highlighted today: cleaning, organizing, taking inventory, weeding, pruning, crossword puzzles, editing, counseling, holistic and alternative healing methods, fixing what’s broken, eliminating what is no longer needed, scaling back on activities that are taking up too much of our time.
Quote for Today:
“One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is love.” Sophocles
This Date In History:
On November 1, 1972, the first “gay theme” TV Movie airs, “That Certain Summer.” Mars, which rules sex, was exactly conjunct Equality planet Uranus in partnership Libra. Uranus perennially defies convention and tradition, so we had a movie come out here that unabashedly showcased gay romance, something unprecedented for that time period. As I have mentioned here before, Uranus’s ray is often prominent in gay rights issues.
Additionally, Love Goddess Venus was exactly conjunct Transforming Pluto, also in relationship Libra, another pivotal influence that can serve to “reframe” relationships in new ways.
(Today, we have Venus sextile Pluto, a similar aspect to the Venus-Pluto conjunction. We may want to keep our eyes on the news to see if any compelling “relationship issues” grab the headlines.
Sometimes, too, Venus-Pluto can be manipulative with our emotions. The “Balloon Boy” saga unfolded last fall with Venus square Pluto. Many of us were then “taken in” by the event. Usually “a lot of drama” occurs with Venus-Pluto.
Speaking of drama, this aspect can also signal a time when our “ex-lovers” come back from the dead to haunt us, especially now when we are still so close to spooky Halloween.)

“I have the true feeling of myself only when I am unbearably unhappy.” Franz Kafka
COSMIC WEATHER:
Love Goddess Venus conjuncts Restrictive, Subdued Saturn (1:24 pm EDT) in relationship Libra. Part of the dramatic, historic “Cardinal Cross” adventure playing out in the heavens. This is the first match-up in this sign between these two planets since October of 1982, nearly thirty years ago.
With Venus-Saturn, our hearts may feel heavier. However, more depth is also possible in our relationships. There may also be the desire to “push for more commitment,” as security issues tend to loom larger.
Venus-Saturn can additionally deliver “soul mates” to us. Saturn is known as “The Lord of Karma.”
On the other hand, there’s a chance with this same aspect, for more “distance” to come between us, too, in our interpersonal relationships, as we may poignantly become aware of our sharp differences with others and unsure of our ability to resolve them. We may also just want to let some ties end now. Venus-Saturn is often synonymous with pruning.
Some people, too, may simply leave our lives now because they’re no longer suppose to be there. The karmic assignment we had with them is finished, kaput. People and relationships, we all have “expiration dates.”
Later in the day, with the Moon’s exit out of maudlin Cancer and entry into warm, entertaining Leo (7:23 pm EDT) the “heavier” emotional energy is more dissipated, and our spirits are more animated. Still some drama could erupt, though, as Leo is very good on the stage.
“Venus conjunct Saturn
We’re feeling lonely and blue
and, oh, so unpopular.
We’re wondering, too, if maybe the TV commercials are right after all: That whiter teeth and fresher breath could save the day for us, romantically. But which brand of whitening toothpaste to buy? That is the monumental question, isn’t it? And, should we stick with regular Listerine or try their newer, purple-colored option? And, is it okay to use both and maybe mix them up? Have you personally tried mixing them together? And, if so, what color did you get?
I wonder, too, if certain mouthwashes are more popular with certain kinds of people? Do aging hippies, for instance, prefer the purple Listerine because it reminds them of their psychedelic youth?
I wonder what kind of mouthwash President Obama used to attract Michelle? Or, Elvis, to attract Priscilla?
Too, maybe certain brands of mouthwash are better for certain astrological signs’ romantic prospects than others? For instance, the outgoing, energetic fire signs might score more with a louder, red-colored mouthwash, indicating more vibrancy. While the retiring water signs might fare better, romantically, going with the muted pastels, denoting receptivity.
Venus and Saturn also symbolizes “father figures” and “May-December,” romances, which could also blossom today around the globe for a goodly number of people. Fondly reminiscent, too, of “Elvis and Priscilla.” Remember Priscilla’s beehive hairdo? I wonder how many bees Priscilla was able to fit in there?
As you may already know, Gracelandand Memphis are getting ready to prepare for “Elvis Week,” this week, August 10th-16th, in Elvis’s “75th birthday” year. The annual event reportedly draws 30,000 to 40,000 people from around the world to Memphis. I recently read that, later in life, Elvis, a Capricorn, was very interested in astrology. He also had his Moon in mystical Pisces in the third house of the mind and was into meditation and fascinated with Eastern philosophy.
I also sort of wonder, as Elvis got involved in these things, later on, did he gravitate more towards pastel color mouthwashes in his life then, since he was activating the more receptive, Pisces side of his nature? Being an earthy Capricorn, his natural impulses would be to select mouthwashes comprised of the earth tones: browns and greens.

Enjoy your Sunday!
I hope you’re not lonesome tonight. Sometimes a little vacuuming can help, though, if you are, especially since we have the homey Cancer Moon. You might want to try vacuuming in two or three rooms and see if you feel any better. It’s about creating better feng shui, vacuuming up the dirty energy and putting it tortuously into the vacuum bag. Just make sure that the debased energy cannot escape from the bag, at which point lonesome feelings could return with a vengence.
I also find that when you vacuum upright, with the upright version, versus stooping down, with the old canister kind, it’s more effective for dispelling loneliness. Especially if you close the blinds first, allowing for more of a sense of raw intimacy between you and the vacuum.

COSMIC WEATHER:
Venus trining Pluto. Moon in Leo. Sun sextile Mars.
A hopeful new day is abloom in a pageant of glory.
We’re magically transformed.
We look in the mirror and see before us a joyful twinkle in place of sorrow.
Our feet are moving to an exciting, new rhythm.
Finally, it seems, that the passion that we have been seeking, for so long, has nostalgically found its way back into the holding bin of our humble, wayward hearts.
We are poignantly re-awakening to the belief that we can still gallop into the sunset, saddled up with our dreams and passions, and yes, reach our destination.
“There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” Nelson Mandela.

NEWS UPDATE 7/13:
Yankees’ Owner, George Steinbrenner, has reportedly died. His death coming on the heels of the death of Yankees PA man, Bob Sheppard, a couple days ago. Also, we just had the deadly Ugandan blasts, where crowds had gathered to watch the World Cup finals. Jupiter is in sports-related Aries now exactly square to Pluto. Pluto rules death, as well as rebirth. Jupiter also tends to bring about more “notable” events for the collective, as Jupiter “stretches the significance,” and Pluto’s energy only seeks to magnify matters even more. Pluto rules “the masses.”
The Wall Street Journal is also reporting that the U.S. detained a 12th person in the Russian spy probe Monday. Again, another manifestation of the abundant “Pluto” energy permeating the ether now, with Venus trining Pluto and also Jupiter again tightly squaring it. Pluto rules spies and covert operations. The trine from Venus brings opportunity for an “emergence” of the spies, why I wrote my “tongue-in-cheek” blog yesterday about “Spy Soulmates.”
Jupiter square Pluto now, with Jupiter in Mars-ruled, “law-enforcement Aries,” is probably pivotal here as to why more spies are getting busted. This “thick, rich spy energy” persists all the way through August, with several other planets soon getting into the act, including heavyweight Saturn.
Too, this energy is superior for ferreting out all kinds of clandestine operations that have been hidden away for a while. More details will be forthcoming here later, so stay tuned. Again, keep stockpiling the trench coats until further instruction. I’ll also let you know when the next “two-for-one” trench coat special will be occurring.

COSMIC WEATHER:
We miss them so much already.
Those ten Russian spy agents who, for purposes of unfathomable destiny, had to leave the U.S. to go back to their native homeland, as part of that grand “Jupiter square Pluto” spy swap.
But, just as one door closes, another one always opens. So it seems.
Such is the case today, and for the next couple of days, with “Love Goddess” Venus, newly-deposited in pure, virginal Virgo, getting ready to move into a seductive, “Past Life” trine aspect to transformational, “Master Spy Agent” Pluto. Pluto is surreptitiously based in the governmental intelligence-gathering sign of Capricorn the Goat. This Venus-Pluto alliance should prove to be a very rich, singular opportunity to “platonically connect” with an undefiled, spy soulmate from our celibate Virgo past. Eventually this tie will also be able to descend into a more physical realm of connectedness, once the initial virginal karma is satisfied.
This romantic “spy soulmate-delivery” influence is also already gathering steamy karmic support today from “Cerebrally-Virile” Mars, also quietly at-large in unsuspecting Virgo. Mars is unassumingly sextiling the “Illuminating” Sun in “Akashic-Record Keeper” Cancer.
Needless to say, due to all this heavenly, horizontal positioning, we are breathing heavy and standing by upright on high alert. Furtively looking around our tidy, suburban neighborhood for our secretly longed for “Spy Soulmate” to magically appear. We expect them to be outfitted in, none other, than a brand new, spiffy Kohl’s trench coat, recently purchased during Kohl’s “two-for-one” spy trench coat sale. Perhaps it is that very sale that got the other spies busted. We’ll never know. When does the government ever tell us anything unfiltered? That is why it is always so critically important to thoroughly debug the store boxes when you bring them home with you.
(Below is a link to my blog from June 27th entitled “Spy Network” that I actually wrote on June 26th, two days before the Russian spy story broke on June 28th. The spies were arrested on June 27th, the day of my blog!)
News Update 7/12: It is very interesting that with this Venus-Pluto “love of spies” energy now, we are finding out some new details about the Russian agents who were living here and were “swapped” last week, in that spy swap. Venus-Pluto energy is “strong energy” for finding out about all that is hidden, especially “hidden agents” as Pluto rules spies.

Enjoy your Monday!
Too, if your “spy soulmate” ends up looking like George Clooney, you have cosmic permission to bypass the platonic aspect of the relationship altogether and immediately get to the physical connectedness part.
