“What makes his world so hard to see clearly is not its strangeness but its usualness. Familiarity can blind you too.” Robert M. Pirsig

The waxing Moon continues in the anchoring sign of Taurus the Bull today, until early tonight (8:00 pm), when it then enters curious, busy Gemini. With the Taurus Moon, the realm of the familiar tends to hold greater appeal for us now. Too, isn’t there always a degree of comfort in things always seemingly being a certain way? Some measure of sameness or familiarity in an ever-changing world, it seems, can be very steadying and reassuring for us on many levels. That is perhaps part of the inherent appeal and charm of the sustaining Taurus Moon. It could also be part of the reason why the Moon is said to be exalted in Taurus, or able to impart its maximum impact on us.

A pitfall of familiarity, however, is that it can sometimes make it harder to perceive something older in a brand new light. It’s like the pre-formulated expectations that we have about an established matter block us from perceiving it’s true essence or reality in the present moment. That’s why it’s often a good practice to try to evaluate things through different lenses, to look at things in different ways. An endeavor that has also been shown to very creative and healthy for our brains! A good workout for our imagination.

The Taurus Moon also trines the empowering Sun in Capricorn this afternoon (1:34 pm), its last major planetary aspect before leaving Taurus. The Moon trine Sun influence depicts a nice harmonious flow between the masculine yang (Sun) energies and the feminine yin (Moon) energies. This can be a period when we may feel more unified, internally, and possibly also an excellent time to gather public support (Moon) for our outward ambitions (Sun). This energy should be great for any self-promotion or promotion of our businesses. Good for meeting with higher-ups, bosses, or authority figures. We could also be formally recognized now for our past accomplishments. Probably a good day to seek out a raise, or at least make a good case for receiving one. There is potentially always more of a spirit of cooperation whenever the Moon and the Sun are trined to each other. The Sun is also conjunct the Moon’s South Node in Capricorn today. It could be that karmic issues centering around how we’ve handled our worldly responsibilities, in the past, seep into our day some way.

This Day in History: On January 16, 1939 the comic strip “Superman” debuts in daily newspapers. Appropriately, perhaps, transiting He-Man Mars was in transformational Scorpio sextiling Fantasy Neptune that day! 🙂

Enjoy your day! Do whatever brings you comfort.

“Success in not measured by what you accomplish but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.” Orison Swett Marden

It’s December 21st!

Time to find out what awaits us behind “door number ten” in the sizzling astrological “Game of Life.”

::Suspense builds::

Behind “door number ten” is: Capricorn the Goat!!!

Rats!!! Go figure. No offense to the cute goat, but we were really hoping for a new car! Or, maybe an “Oprah paid trip” to Australia, with hunk, Hugh Jackman, falling off the tightrope and into our laps. 🙂

Yes, indeed, the “life-generating” Sun, which signifies “our core” and “sense of purpose,” enters the tenth zodiacal sign of Capricorn the Goat on December 21, 2010 (6:39 pm EST), where it will ambitiously stay until January 20, 2011. The Sun’s annual passage through goal-oriented Capricorn marks a time when we are nobly poised to go out into the vast global village to achieve our glorious dreams that we so cleverly envisioned and crafted when the Sun was in the preceding sign of optimistic Sagittarius, the famous stomping grounds of the talented archer.

Sagittarius is ruled by benevolent, generous Jupiter, who also would have, no doubt, given us a plush car today, if only he had the cosmic authority to do so. But, Jupiter’s star has sadly dimmed now. He must reluctantly relinquish his mighty throne, and give ringmaster Saturn, his scheduled fifteen minutes.

It is true. The sign Capricorn is governed by focused, taskmaster Saturn, who is actually not totally opposed to our periodic dreaming and chilling out among the clouds, but he will eventually pitch a big frickin’ fit, and make us tragically suffer the consequences, if we don’t make any sustained effort to turn our Kool-aid dreams into reality, especially into hard cold cash. Saturn’s famous last words: “Show me the money, honey! If you can’t show me any money, you’re not getting any honey. You’ll just have to eke it out on Baltic Avenue, baby. You’re not getting anywhere near Boardwalk or Park Place, unless I see more toil and sweat from you. And, that’s that!”

Saturn-ruled Capricorn perennially symbolizes the “nose to the grindstone” experience, the exciting 9 to 5 “punch a clock” world, with all of its drama and politics. And, also all of its “golden opportunity.” At the end of the day, really what is more exciting than seeing our dreams materialize? Dressing them up in cool, shapely bodies. Choosing the color of their eyes. Applying their lashes. Doing their hair and makeup. Filling their little black books with hot dates.

So what are we going to build for the next 30 days that will ultimately enable us to get a cushy room with a view? Did everyone get it all figured out when the Sun was soaring through Sag? Yes??? No??? How about erecting some cool and unique structures that haven’t been built before? Or maybe we can just add neat variations on classic designs. Really no point in always re-inventing the wheel. Especially when we still have so much vacuuming to do, and mushy calls from George Clooney to field.

“George, it looks like we may have an open slot on December 27th, at 10:55 pm. Does that work for you, dear?”

(Added Pink Floyd’s Money per blog reader Debbie G.’s cool suggestion. Thanks, Deb. Perfect fit for the Sun’s ingress into “jingle jingle” Capricorn.”)
