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.

“They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.” Confucius

Patrice’s “Cosmic Word of The Day”: Change

change pronounced “cheynj”

verb (used with object)

1) to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone 2) to transform or convert 3) to substitute another or others for 4) to give or get smaller money in exchange for

origin: 1175-1225 L cambire “to exchange”


Cosmic weather: With the arrival of the Summer Solstice today and the official switch in the northern hemisphere from spring to summer, there is hopeful change being served up by Mother Nature for the next three months.

This change is being made even more exciting due to the presence of innovative, but highly erratic, change-agent Uranus, who is ready and eager to greet the Sun today (via the “square aspect”) with his characteristic “mischievous smile.”

Uranus promises to change things up for us quite a bit this summer.

For example, if you’re accustomed to playing out your life’s song in the lower octaves, Uranus will likely suddenly change the score on you, so that you’ll also get a chance to know and play in the higher octaves as well.

Uranus, while more than a little quirky and unpredictable, is equated with originality and genius.  “Johnny One Note” doesn’t cut it with him. He wants us to be able to brilliantly improvise – and at a moment’s notice!

He especially longs for grand symphonic music from each and every one of us. That’s the preferred change Uranus is hoping to see from us this summer.

Let’s give Uranus our best thought, our best idea. Our best humanity. We really can change the world and, in the process, make some beautiful music together.

More cool change quotes:

“We did not change as we grew older; we just became more clearly ourselves.” Lynn Hall

“It’s the most unhappy people who most fear change.” Mignon McLaughlin

“I put a dollar in one of those change machines.  Nothing changed.” George Carlin

Enjoy this Summer Solstice Monday!

Is that a symphony I hear?
