Cosmic Weather:

The organizing Virgo Moon seems extra eager to help get our Monday morning off to a productive start today via a flowing trine to the potent Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in industrious Capricorn. Ideally, this harmonious aspect can inspire us to feel more hopeful, more confident (Jupiter) in our ability to turn things around (Pluto) in a tangible/measurable way (Capricorn). Also, with this aspect, there may be an opportunity to identify or locate valuable hidden resources that can somehow aid or further our cause.

Later this afternoon, Luna will leave Virgo for balancing Libra (at 5:16 pm), on route to her Full Phase, tomorrow.

*All times EDT.

Born On This Day: American spiritual teacher, psychologist, and author Ram Dass, in 1931 (d. 12/22/2019). His iconic book Be Here Now (published in 1971) was highly influential in popularizing Eastern spirituality and yoga in the West.

“It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.” R.D.

Hope it’s a good one! Be safe.

Astrology November 5, 2019: Mars Squares Pluto

Cosmic Weather:

(Mars in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn at 20 degrees, at 5:27 am)

This is a very potent and dynamic day! Mars (governing our drive, ambition, and determination) is squaring off with Pluto (representing our urge for power, transformation, and hidden motivations). Often when these two heavyweights are paired, we find that the landscape around us has a chance of being reshaped or reconfigured in a dramatic way, depending, in large part, upon the actions we choose to undertake, our will, and level of conscious awareness.

Generally, Mars-Pluto energy tends to make us much more unrelenting or uncompromising in the pursuit of our wants, needs, and desires. At the same time, our behavior can also become a bit more complicated because we are likely more impacted or fueled now by our hidden or subconscious motivations. (On the shadow side, Mars-Pluto is associated with, among other things, extreme behavior, outbursts of anger, bullying, manipulation, and power struggles.)

So, ideally, what we want to do now is to act from a higher place, inside ourselves. Keep our long-term goals and vision for ourselves, front and center. Focus on mindfully taking key actions that help to foster or facilitate self-growth, self-improvement, and or self-mastery (qualities, in keeping, with the Scorpio season). Avoid trying to control or blame others and, instead, put our energy on self-responsibility and personal accountability.

Too, engaging in physical activities or exercise is often a great way to express and release the more intense buildup of the Mars-Pluto energy in the body.

Additionally, it can be a very good time to vent or clear the air (Mars) as a way of rebalancing situations (Libra). The trick here, however, is to do it in a way that doesn’t manipulate or intimidate (Pluto), which could only serve to complicate matters.

“Your soul has fallen to bits and pieces. Good. Rearrange them to suit yourself.” Hermann Hesse

Today’s Astrology May 18, 2019: Full Moon in Mysterious Scorpio

18 Saturday May 2019

Cosmic Weather:

“Every single cell in the human body replaces itself over a period of seven years. That means there’s not even the smallest part of you now that was part of you seven years ago.” Steven Hall

It is a perplexing mystery how we often feel that we are basically the same person, day after day. Yet, in reality, for all practical purposes, we are in a continuous state of death and renewal while we are breathing, hanging out on the earth plane. At least, this is the case from the standpoint of our physical being. On the other hand, it is the persistent sense of our own seemingly unchanging ‘inner essence’ which most likely provides us with the notion we are more of an immutable force to be reckoned with! But even then, the idea of an enduring ‘inner essence’ is also a bit weird and baffling, when you think about it, because how does this ‘inner essence’ manage to keep itself glued together, in one piece, to begin with, when everything around it keeps wanting to turn into mush and or wither away? Maybe even more importantly, how does it manage to keep its hair perfectly coiffed, in all instances? That is the real 64-thousand dollar question! 🙂

Anyway… Today’s Full Moon in ‘life and death’ Scorpio, at 27 degrees of the sign, seemingly invites us to humbly bask in the full awareness of the infinite, deeper mysteries of life that perennially surround us, engulf us, maybe even haunt us, at times. So many things can potentially ‘spook us out’ on a daily basis, if we let them, especially in this age of 24/7 news coverage. Although, with the Full Moon in investigative Scorpio it could be that we possess the proper amount of emotional fortitude, unflappable courage, and perceptual curiosity now to want to willingly visit those dicey places/areas/dramas that tend to otherwise make us want to naturally recoil out of fear or trepidation. It is like we know now that we must move through, or go beyond, all the scary stuff to get to the ‘other side.’ The seemingly ‘safe side’ where all the monsters are benevolently slewed, our spouses are fairly subdued and obedient – for the most part – and all is right (healed) with the world! At least, for a little while. Till the next domino falls…

Scorpio is also the sign in which we take the trash or garbage out, both literally and symbolically. In the body, it is associated with the rectum and bladder, the two workhorses of elimination. What goes in (Sun in Taurus), must come out (Moon in Scorpio), at the risk of sounding crude. Interesting, too, isn’t it, how there is often so much shame, embarrassment, including yes, even mystery, associated with this particular, and much-needed body function. So hopefully Luna now, deposited in her full-figure form in seductive Scorpio, the premier snakeskin shedding energy, will inspire those of us, who are so inclined, to pitch/purge/recycle whatever is redundant/outworn in our lives, in order to make room for the new/nurturing/tantalizing ingredients that will, ideally, keep us standing upright and moving vigorously forward, a while longer.

As luck would have it, too, the passionate, intense Scorpio Moon is also occurring on the same day that lovable Venus is conjunct wild and wacky Uranus in hedonistic Taurus, an astrologically rebellious/liberating influence that poises us/tempts us to want to temporarily break with convention/tradition/our mates in order to pursue out of the ordinary worldly pleasures/values. To decadently indulge in new sensations/social/romantic experiences that likely move us outside of our rigid/stuffy comfort zones and straight into the dog house!

Thinker and orator Mercury is also exactly trining insightful, dark horse Pluto today, Scorpio’s modern-day ruler. So we are also possibly able to seduce/influence/persuade others now with our power thoughts, ideas, and spoken/written words in a non-threatening, yet formidable manner. This is also an excellent intellectual aspect for solving puzzles, riddles.

“I always dream of a pen that would be a syringe.” Jacques Derrida

On This Day in History: On May 18, 1897 “Dracula” by Irish author Bram Stoker is published by Archibald Constable and Company in London.

The astrology that day: The illuminating Sun in sensual, neck-ruling Taurus was exactly opposite maverick Uranus and authoritative Saturn. Both of these planets were also exactly conjunct in ‘mistress/master of the night’ Scorpio!

Today’s Astrology April 24, 2019: Pluto Stations Retrograde

24 Wednesday Apr 2019

Cosmic Weather:

“Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go and then do it.” Ann Landers

We live in a culture in which ‘having more’ is often automatically deemed better than ‘having less.’ So virtually anytime there’s a perceived chance that what we have or possess is thought to be at possible risk of loss our immediate response is normally to do whatever it takes to keep what we have firmly in our clutches. No matter that what we might be clinging to may be long expired!

That’s why, perhaps, in a left-handed way, we should maybe all be kind of ‘jumping for joy’ today because Pluto, the planet of exit doors and elimination, is stationing retrograde at 23 degrees of utilitarian Capricorn (2:45 pm). Whenever a planet stations, its energy is thought to be more potent that day. Meaning, we could possibly be getting clearer signs now of what should be pitched or trashed in our lives, for our own good.

Okay, in some cases, we may be able to get clearance to perform salvage operations or just do some creative refurbishing/reworking of existing elements and call it a day. In other words, not have to go through the heartbreak of experiencing a total wipeout or implosion! 🙂 Pluto is, after all, also a great ‘turnaround genius’ or ‘re-birthing agent.’

Too, on another level, it may be worthwhile or interesting now to simply study or observe the vast trail of waste that we are characteristically generating/leaving behind. What might that cryptic wagon train say or reveal about us? About how we are maybe managing/mismanaging our daily operations/resources? Where we may also possibly be overextended, as Pluto governs debt and indebtedness.

Transformational Pluto will be retrograde in Capricorn until October 3, when it will be turning direct at 20 degrees of the sign. Since Capricorn is also the sign that specifically governs career, government, and big business, there’s a chance now, and for the next few months, that we’ll be experiencing a type of ‘crisis of consciousness’ in those areas in particular. Perhaps becoming more aware of the ‘bugs in the systems’ that we’ve built – and what to do about them.

“In the oddity or maybe the miracle of life, the roots of something new frequently lie in the decaying husks of something old.” Craig D. Lounsbrough

Famous April 24 Birthdays: Vincent De Paul, Shirley MacLaine, Jill Ireland, Barbra Streisand, Kelly Clarkson

“I arrived in Hollywood without having my nose fixed, my teeth capped, or my name changed. That is very gratifying to me.” Barbra Streisand

On This Day in History: On April 24, 1888, Eastman Kodak was founded by George Eastman. Astrologically, at the time, the planet Neptune, which rules photography, was nearing 29 degrees of artistic, yet financially-minded Taurus, a critical degree. Often when a planet is at 29 degrees, there’s an extra push or urgency to get things done. There’s also a summation, of sorts, of what has gone before while the planet has been in the sign.

Neptune was also forming a waxing, one-degree sextile to consolidating, organizing Saturn, newly-installed at 0 degrees of Leo, the sign of entertainment and the motion picture industry.

Lest we forget, we also currently have an ongoing sextile now, this year, between Saturn in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces. This influence is also thought to be very good for creativity and realizing our dreams, with structuring Saturn providing a floor or foundation for Neptune’s bountiful imagination and visions.

Hope you enjoy your Wednesday!

Today’s Astrology February 20, 2019: Virgo Moon, Sun Semi-square Saturn

Cosmic Weather:

“Our abilities to understand, adjust, and change make us wise.” – Debashish Mridha M.D.

Moon in Virgo:

Don’t you just love to hear the phrase, “May I help who’s next?” when you’re the one who’s next in line? Especially if you’ve been waiting seemingly forever to be waited on? Anyway, today has this same kind of feel to it. Sort of like we’re having to stand in line, conduct our official business, do some revisions or rewrites with respect to our projects or plans before we’re allowed to bust out of the gate. Even then, we’re likely not going to be busting out of anything now, but rather moving ahead at more of a slow, cautious pace. The Moon is still in perfecting Virgo, and Mama Virgo is doing her thing! Committed to continuing her heroic efforts to whip us into shape! Plus, with Luna’s trine to transforming Pluto in Capricorn, later today (8:51 pm), it could be she may actually be able to work a miracle or two for us!

Moon trine Pluto favors restorations or refurbishings, decluttering, detox efforts, succession-planning, and panning for gold (both internally and externally).

Sun in Pisces semi-square Saturn in Capricorn:

This aspect kind of plays right into the hands of the corrective Virgo Moon energy to the extent that it can make us feel, on the shadow side, that we’re not good enough as we are. That we should possibly strive, instead, to conform to some kind of hallowed cultural yardstick of what is uniformly exemplary or acceptable. Of course, we don’t need to buy into this type of self-limiting or self-abnegating doctrine. Better to focus our efforts on building affirmatively upon how we already are, or how we want to be, and taking empowering action to move into that direction. “It is not as much about who you used to be, as it is about who you choose to be.” Sanhita Baruah. On another level, sometimes this planetary aspect can coincide with our having to shift course, or needing to cut our losses with something.

Sun semi-square Saturn also favors, among other things, taking preventive health measures to possibly shore up our bones or dental health. May also be a time when we re-consider or revise some of our plans for retirement.

On This Day in History: On February 20, 1962, John Glenn becomes the first American to orbit the Earth, aboard Friendship 7. Mars (pioneering) and Jupiter (expansion) were both in Aquarius, the sign which governs space travel. Analytical Mercury had also just stationed direct in research-oriented Virgo, the sign of its rulership, and was getting ready to conjunct transformative Pluto. Mercury-Pluto aspects, especially the conjunction, are often associated with deep or intense life-altering experiences that can drastically change our perceptions or consciousness about something.

*All time EST.

Enjoy your day!

Astrology for January 11, 2019: Sun Conjunct Pluto

“Scared and sacred are spelled with the same letters. Awful proceeds from the same root word as awesome. Terrify and terrific. Every negative experience holds the seed of transformation.” Alan Cohen

The empowering Sun is conjunct perceptive Pluto in Capricorn today (6:36 am). Pluto is the modern-day ruler of Scorpio, the sign of life, death, and rebirth. This intense astrological aspect may help us to see more clearly the truth of a situation that maybe has been bothering or perplexing us for a while. Archetypally, Pluto symbolizes the underworld and the unconscious. It often reveals secret information coming from the depths. It can make us especially aware of what is toxic or festering below the surface that is in need of immediate release or resolution. Pluto is associated with psychotherapy, surgery, X-rays, elimination, and purging. In the body, Pluto rules the bowels and the rectum. Additionally, this is an excellent time for any kind of research, excavation, investigation or detective work. Sun-Pluto energy is equated with the ability for intense, single-minded focus and concentration, even to the point of obsession!

Ideally, Sun-Pluto alignments can ultimately be very healing and transforming as we learn to free ourselves from the vestiges of the past, which have had a limiting stranglehold on us, and get on with the life-supporting pursuit of aligning with new growth activities and self-expression. Sun-Pluto can serve as a powerful conduit to allow us to step into our own power or authority, and reshape our lives in such a way that they more fully radiate our authenticity.

On the shadow side, Sun-Pluto aspects can often trigger power struggles, bullying, sinister actions, manipulation, sudden breakdowns. The truth may also be used ruthlessly or selfishly as a way of gaining power or dominance over another.

Last night, on the eve of today’s Sun-Pluto conjunction, a very dramatic and moving development: Jayme Closs, a 13-year-old girl who vanished three months ago after her parents were found dead in their northwestern Wisconsin home, was found alive. A suspect was reportedly arrested a short time later. (CNN). Astrologically, one cannot help but think of the powerful Scorpionic rebirth aspect, at play here, of the phoenix rising from the ashes.

Earlier in the week, on Wednesday, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife MacKenzie Bezos announced on Twitter that they are getting divorced after 25 years of marriage. Jeff Bezos, the richest man in the world, whose birthday is tomorrow, January 12th – he’ll be 55 – presently has transiting Pluto now forming an exact conjunction with his Capricorn Sun, a long-term aspect that will stick around for a couple years. This influence operates essentially the same as today’s short-term Sun-Pluto conjunction. Since Jeff Bezos is such a public figure, we will be able to see, firsthand, how his Pluto-Sun is playing out, at least to the extent it is ever possible to know anybody from the outside in. It will also be interesting to see how this marital split might impact Amazon as a business. MacKenzie Bezos will soon be the wealthiest woman in the world as the Bezos’ live in a community property state. All the money he earned during the marriage, especially since there was reportedly no prenuptial agreement, is half his wife’s. They got married in 1993. He started Amazon a year or two later. Pluto also governs joint finances or resources that we share with others.

*All time EST.

Hope you have a magnificent day and are able to clearly see now how all those mysterious puzzle pieces are supposed to fit together for you! Thank you also for reading my blog today. I’ve been away from here for almost a year and a half and am still trying to find my sea legs after having not written a thing during that long hiatus. Coincidentally, WordPress also happened to note for me today that this is the 1000th astrology blog that I have written since 2009. Seems like I should be getting some kind of plaque or award or something, doesn’t it? Maybe an office with a view? 🙂

“We are all butterflies. Earth is our chrysalis.” LeeAnn Taylor

We’re clearing away all the debris and cobwebs now. Able to see what’s really there, in the mysterious depths of our being. Ideally, we’re also transmuting old fears and hurts into breakthroughs and possibilities. We’re taking back our power! Arising from the ashes like the Phoenix bird! Sun-Pluto energy supports any kind of rehabilitative or refurbishing projects, purge or detox efforts, investigation, solving mysteries, and research. Strong, more complex emotions rise to the surface.

“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” Alice Walker

Pluto Stations Retrograde (8:46 am EDT): Pluto, which archetypally symbolizes the principle of power itself as well as themes of evolution and transformation, is stationing retrograde today at 19 degrees of Capricorn. It will be retrograde until September 28. Pluto retrograde, among other things, invites us to explore the whole concept of personal power: What does power mean to us? How do we generally wield our power? What makes us feel empowered? Also, we may want to consider what characteristically drains our energy or effectiveness, or puts us on the defensive. Pluto retrograde can also create greater awareness of what is broken or outworn in our lives. The house in our natal chart that Pluto is retrograding in will also be energized now and the areas of life ruled by that house may be up for renewal or some kind of overhaul.

This Date in History: On April 20, 1993 Uranu,s passes Neptune (happens once every 171 years)

The Moon will be residing in “intimate” Scorpio for the entire day. This lunar placement allows us to feel things more deeply, to peel back the layers. It also motivates us to act on our feelings or convictions in a determined manner that could transform our world in a palpable way, especially since the Moon is making planetary aspects to Mars (initiative), Pluto (renewal), Mercury (ideas), and Jupiter (opportunity).

“Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go and then do it.” Ann Landers

Pieniny, Mountains, Landscape, Water

Today’s Energy:

When a river becomes clogged with debris, and its flow is hampered, we don’t criticize it or judge it as being a bad river, per se; rather, we may simply view it as a body of water that has somehow managed to become temporarily obstructed by a foreign something. Likewise, it seems that we should also be willing to extend this same type of detached perception to ourselves when, on occasion, our vulnerable “interior realm” becomes bogged down by our fears, anxieties, doubts, or worries. In these instances, it’s not that we’re an awful or terrible person, when we’re in this more fragile state of being (even though we may believe that we indeed are); it’s just that our flow has been temporarily interrupted by the challenging forces of our personality, or our subconscious – forces that we must eventually learn how to integrate into our life if we are to successfully move on to the next step of our journey.

With “intellectual” Mercury squaring “purging” Pluto today (5:20 pm EDT) it’s really a wonderful time for us to sit with or examine some of our own natural debris or “shadow material” (which Pluto represents), and see what comes up for us in the process; see what it is inside ourselves that might need to be healed or released now. Or, to put it another way, today may be a time when we can better understand (Mercury) the nature of our own inner darkness (Pluto). In general, Mercury-Pluto is associated with mental breakthroughs and transformational thinking, often as a result of some kind of breakdown first occurring, with Pluto symbolizing the principle of “death and rebirth.”

This same energy can also serve to lend more power or conviction to our words or speech (governed by Mercury), as what is emanating from us now tends to be coming straight from the very depths of our being, from our true authentic self. Mercury-Pluto is also sometimes linked with dramatic, intense verbal encounters (volcanic type eruptions) with others. It is also a time when we may be able to ferret out secrets or get to the bottom of things, as Pluto tends to heighten our powers of perception. On the shadow side, we may need to guard against obsessive or overly suspicious thinking now, or avoid engaging in mental manipulations  (i.e forcing our opinions or viewpoints on others, lording our power over others).

Due to Mercury’s recent retrograde phase, today’s square aspect between Mercury and Pluto is actually their third and final meetup. Their first coming together was on Sept. 9; the second time was on September 24. We may want to trace back what was happening in our lives, during those two times, as today could bring some kind of final resolution or conclusion to those matters.

Questions for Today: What must you release to “free your spirit” from bondage? How important is it for you to “get at the truth” at any cost? How comfortable are you with speaking your truth? What truth would you prefer not to have to face, and why?

In the News: Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton appears before an investigative House panel on the Benghazi attacks.
