COSMIC WATCH

“Action conquers fear.” Peter Nivio Zarlenga

The Moon’s ingress into pioneering Aries (4:24 am EDT) stokes our desire for new adventures. The Moon’s conjunction with change-agent Uranus (1:24 pm EDT) also acts to propel us into the future and potentially provides us with more of a platform to “do our own thing,” which the Aries Moon is already very receptive to doing. Rebel Uranus is associated with individuality and non-conformity. It encourages us not to render cookie-cutter responses, so this alignment can be very refreshing and rejuvenating for us, if we are but willing to be our true, authentic selves.

Later on, possible resistance from others to our plans, in the guise of the Moon’s square to controlling Pluto (5:08 pm EDT), in authoritative Capricorn, may have us wanting to retreat back to our Cancerian Sun “crab shells.” This may, indeed, be a very good time to go inside ourselves and examine our behavior and see if there is maybe something that we can either fix or purge (Pluto) that will help us to reunite more with our own sense of power, so we will feel less threatened or bothered by things external to us in the future.

Moon-Pluto can make us stronger by eliminating what is weaker or dead weight within us. Pluto governs the subconscious, and Pluto is always very ready to confer upon us deep insight, if we are willing to work with it. Moon-Pluto can be a very effective cathartic or healing agent. This configuration is also linked with actual surgery.

What would you like to reform or change about yourself? Anything?

Celebrity News:  Actor George Clooney and girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis have reportedly split up after a two-year courtship. George (born 5/6/61) has transiting Saturn in Libra in his 7th house of partnerships now opposing his “love goddess” Venus in Aries in his first house of new beginnings.

This is, unfortunately, a textbook divorce or separation aspect. This is partly because Venus-Saturn often tends to make us feel “cut off” from others (Saturn inhibits our expression). Then, of course, when we get to feeling this way, we often end up erecting even more walls around us, which is not favorable or conducive for romance.

Too, this Venus-Saturn aspect can also simply indicate, that we have outgrown a relationship and that it is, indeed, time to move on, as Saturn does equate with natural endings and Venus rules relationships. Sometimes, too, with this influence, our ambitions and goals for ourselves, which are also denoted by Saturn, come in conflict with our relationship needs and we have no choice but to make certain adjustments in our lives. Either certain goals and ambitions go, or the relationships go, etc. Too, I am only talking in a general sense here about this aspect. I have no idea what, in reality, led to George’s breakup.

With that said, George’s horoscope also suggests that he tends to be a very private and emotionally guarded person, to begin with, as he has his Moon, ruling his feelings and women, tightly conjunct his Saturn in Capricorn, the sign that Saturn rules. In general, this more complex configuration makes it easier for a person to live by themselves (bachelor), as they naturally don’t feel so compelled to share their innermost feelings with others. A large part of why we have romantic relationships is to share what we are feeling inside.

Plus, being a famous actor, he does have ample opportunity to vent his feelings on a world stage, vicariously playing different roles, and that may be enough emoting for him. Too, being so famous, he also probably needs to be a little defensive, at times, with others, to curb exploitation, gossip, etc. At any rate, I would think that Moon conjunct Saturn would despise living a fish bowl type of existence, and would vie for as much privacy as possible. George does have his assertive Mars in colorful, theatrical Leo, though, too, so he does know how to confidently handle himself and his affairs, and people will like him regardless. That planetary influence helps to make him very charismatic, especially with Mars in his fifth house of self-expression.

George’s Venus in flirtatious, “conquest-oriented” Aries, also suggests that he requires plenty of freedom in romance, and that he also ideally does best with a partner who is very independent like himself. I also, unfortunately, don’t have Elisabetta’s birth chart to see what she has going on at the moment. Anyway, I wish both of them well. Breakups are never any fun.

Enjoy your Thursday! Too, don’t be afraid to “do your own thing!” Remember, we are receiving that high-voltage prompting from Moon-Uranus today. We may even want to put on the hippie beads and bell bottoms. 🙂

Astrology May 20, 2011: “Move Mountains” Mercury and Mars Trine Pluto

COSMIC WATCH:

“We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a small group of determined people can change the course of history.” Sonia Johnson

Big, big day today! The Moon is in personally ambitious Capricorn the Goat. Mercury (thoughts) and Mars (action) are exactly conjunct in determined, materialistic Taurus the Bull. Both are also trining intense Pluto (transformation agent) in resourceful Capricorn. We are able to think and act decisively (Mercury-Mars), leveraging a laserlike mental focus (Mercury-Pluto) and unwavering resolve (Mars in Taurus) to miraculously move mountains (Mars-Pluto) and end up smack at the very top (Capricorn).

We also have x-ray vision (Mercury-Pluto) and can masterfully detect what was previously hidden to us, making this a potent day for problem-solving, or for figuring out previous, elusive mysteries. (On more of a collective level, it’s a good time for Pluto-ruled spying and espionage.)

This is definitely a day when we will want to stay fully engaged and not take our eyes off our targeted goals. We also have the chance to rally influential persons (Pluto) to our cause to back us or assist us, i.e. a fabulous time for “power networking.”

On another level, with mighty Pluto’s “purging ray” activated, now is an ideal period to eliminate or get rid of deadweight, or whatever is not working for us. Mysterious Pluto likes to travel with as little baggage as possible, and often in incognito. We are, therefore, well-served to do the same. Be perhaps a little “mum” to the world about all of our action plans until the last minute. Discuss our power-brokering strategies in private, “closed-door chambers.”

In The News: I have taken a quick peek at Maria Shriver‘s and Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s horoscopes. The Scorpio Full Moon on Tuesday fascinatingly fell exactly on Maria’s 7th house of marriage at 26 degrees Scorpio, putting a bright spotlight on both her marriage and the marriage partner. With “revealing” Pluto ruling Scorpio, too, we are often privy to finding out “secret” or “hidden” information.

Arnold, meanwhile, had the Full Moon in Scorpio falling exactly in his fifth house of children, near his expansive Jupiter, setting the stage for the world to learn that he had more (Jupiter) offspring than what was originally known about him publicly. It was also on the exact day of the Full Moon in Scorpio on Tuesday that Arnold finally “came clean” about his past and his secret love child. Scorpio also rules sex and intimate affairs.

Too, for the last few days, we have been hearing about the “high-profile” alleged sexual assault case involving Dominique Strauss-Kahn, former head of the International Monetary Fund, details of which first emerged just prior to the “revelatory” Scorpio Full Moon.

Astrology May 4, 2011: “Brake, Then Accelerate” Taurus and Gemini Moons

COSMIC WEATHER:

“To climb steep hills requires slow pace at first.” William Shakespeare

We are looking at, essentially, two days rolled into one today, as we have the slower-paced, void-of-course “money-hungry” Taurus Moon, in the morning, and then the faster-paced, Gemini Moon in the afternoon (1:09 pm EDT). It probably serves us well to sort of chill out during the a.m. hours (attend to mainly routine matters), and then crank things up a bit later, when the Moon enters nervous, restless Gemini, the sign of communication and travel.

Too, one “cosmic weather advisory” here: When the Moon first prances into fast-talker Gemini, it immediately forms a hippie square to psychedelic Neptune (2:30 pm EDT), holed up in “why can’t we all just get along” Pisces. On the plus side, the Moon-Neptune square can fill us with inspiration and imagination, and maybe compassion (is also an excellent time for meditation and prayer). But, on the shadow side, it can also bring about some weird stuff, too, such as crackpot visions, delusions of grandeur, massive denial, con-men entering into our orbit, etc. In general, a very good chance for temporary “mass confusion,” including massive difficulty in correctly picking the winning lotto numbers for tonight’s drawing. 🙂

However, the Neptunian veil does eventually lift and the stage is then set for some really cool scenarios to occur with the Moon’s sextile to progressive, “electrifying” Uranus in “race car” Aries (6:49 pm EDT), when we may be emotionally stimulated to the max and thrilled by the sudden (Uranus) turn of events. It is also a great time to take unique action that defines us and sets us apart as an individual (Uranus). Uranus governs our “urge for individuality.” Also, our “urge for personal freedom.”

BTW, President Barack Obama (a Leo Sun) has his natal Mercury at 2 degrees of Leo (Mercury rules the mind and decisions) and his natal Moon at 3 degrees of Gemini, just like the Moon today (Moon rules moods and public image), so “liberating” Uranus in militaristic Aries is exactly harmoniously trining his Mercury now, and also favorably sextiling his Moon. “Mercury-Uranus” often inclines us to make decisions that are perhaps bolder and, more controversial or rebellious in nature (Uranus), that may also break with tradition (Uranus), or are unprecedented. Uranus can also endow us with brilliant insights, when paired with “thinker” Mercury, as Uranus is the planet that is linked with genius, innovation, and scientific discovery. Uranus is also the “higher octave” of Mercury, and also governs flashes of intuition.

President Obama’s bold decision (Mercury), reportedly made last Friday, to raid Osama Bin Laden‘s compound (combative Aries action), was a sudden “game-changer” and “defining moment” (Uranus) for his presidency, and for the overall, general perception (Moon-Uranus) of his presidency. Too, that is how unpredictable Uranus tends to operate, when its ray is stoked. It strikes with a characteristic swiftness, and its impact can then often change the trajectory of future events forever. It has been symbolically likened to a “bolt of lightning” coming out of the blue.

Obama also simultaneously has transiting Pluto, symbolizing rebirth, trining his natal Pluto now, another long-term aspect which can also mark a time of major transformation. Also that same aspect can be a “test of one’s power” (Pluto), a test of how one wields influence and control (Pluto) in the world. Pluto also governs and depicts the masses, and events that impact the mass population. Of course, he also made his decision when the Sun was exactly trine Pluto, in the sky, on Friday, and Mars was conjunct Jupiter in Aries, an aspect of adventure.

Also, as I am writing this, a “New York Times/CBS News” poll has just been released showing a big rise in Obama’s poll numbers, among both Republicans and Independents, in wake of the killing of Osama Bin Laden. According to the poll, 57% approve of his job performance, compared to 46% last month. Although, 6 in 10 Americans polled felt that bin Laden’s death was likely to increase the threat of terrorism against the U.S. in the short-term. Let’s pray the latter, is not the case.

Famous Taurus Birthdays May 4: Randy Travis (52), late Audrey Hepburn (82)

Enjoy your day! Dare to be different (Moon-Uranus)! But, do be careful about imbibing too much of the Kool-Aid (Moon-Neptune) around mid-day. 🙂

Astrology April 11, 2011: Mars Square Pluto, Mercury Conjunct Jupiter

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Life’s challenges are not suppose to paralyze you, they’re suppose to help you discover who you are.” Bernice Johnson Reagon

Mixed bag of nuts today. We have the potent “Mars square Pluto” aspect exact (4:36 pm EDT). This influence has been applying for the last several days. Mars, ruler of our self-assertion and drive, can passionately empower us to take on formidable challenges, when aligned with intense, controlling Pluto. Mars-Pluto is perennially linked with wanting to wield power and influence in the world. (Oprah Winfrey has this aspect exact in her personal horoscope.) We need to make sure, however, that we don’t overtax ourselves or surpass our limits with this aspect. Too, we would be very wise to avoid power struggles, shoving matches, taunting behavior, etc. On the shadow side, Mars-Pluto can awaken and unleash our “inner bully.”

Mars-Pluto can also be “very transforming” energy, with Pluto ruling regeneration. Again, as I mentioned the other day in my blog on Pluto stationing retrograde, this is an excellent time to “wipe the slate clean” and  to purge or eliminate what isn’t working in our lives.

Retrograde Mercury, ruler of our thoughts, is also back into an exact conjunction with “optimistic” Jupiter (11:59 pm EDT), ruler of philosophy and our higher beliefs and vision, academia, long-distance travel. On the plus side, the Mercury-Jupiter influence can make us more enthusiastic and upbeat, more high-minded in our thinking (a nice antidote for the Mars-Pluto “bully” mentality). Mercury-Jupiter is also an excellent time for writing.

The shadow side of this same aspect is we can become too boastful or arrogant (Jupiter). Too, with the Mars-Pluto aspect as a backdrop, this is probably not a good time to get into arguments over philosophical (Jupiter) differences, as they could very well escalate. Also, if we have any public presentations or speeches (Mercury) to make, we will want to make sure that we have “all the facts” straight ahead of time (Mercury-Jupiter tends to exaggerate), in case we later get “called on the carpet” (stickler Pluto). However, if we do diligently cover our bases, we could be very compelling and persuasive as a speaker (or writer) now, especially if we sprinkle in some of the famous “Jupiterian” humor.

BTW, do you think you have a good sense of humor? May want to check out the positioning of Jupiter in your chart and see how it’s linked up to the personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus or Mars; or the Ascendant; or 3rd or 9th houses) for further astrological insight and confirmation. We mentioned Oprah Winfrey earlier, she also has her Mercury (communication) trine Jupiter in her horoscope, so she has no problem seeing humor in things. Too, that endows her with natural ability to make people laugh. (Mercury-Jupiter is also the hallmark of a teacher or preacher.) Comedian David Letterman (who has a birthday tomorrow) also has his Mercury exactly trine his natal Jupiter. David is also a writer and that is excellent for that outlet. Funny man, and also writer, Woody Allen, has his Sun conjunct Jupiter, a similar influence-type influence, as does James Garner, who I have always regarded as very funny.)

“A sense of humor… is needed armor. Joy in one’s heart and some laughter on one’s lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.” Hugh Sidey

Famous Birthdays April 11: Ethel Kennedy (83), Joel Grey (79)

In the News: With the potent “game-changing” Mars-Pluto aspect exact today, fascinatingly, one of the news headlines this morning is about President Obama’s big “press conference” that is slated for this Wednesday. Obama will be unveiling his package of proposed spending cuts for the future, including proposed cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, and changes to Social Security, in a bid to tackle this nation’s deficit crisis (Pluto rules debt). Higher taxes (ruled by Pluto) are also reportedly going to be proposed for the wealthy. (Wall Street Journal)

In announcing the details of his press conference, President Obama is also effectively “transforming” his image (the “reforming” Mars-Pluto energy) to a certain extent, by letting it be known that he is planning on shifting his policies around. Sometimes, too, with Mars-Pluto, we also suffer a “fierce backlash.” Surely there will be factions (the far left? the elderly?) who will not be pleased with his proposals.

Astrology March 31, 2011: “Transforming Emotions” Moon Sextile Pluto

COSMIC WEATHER:

“I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it.” Harry Emerson Fosdick.

It could be that we are feeling more of a sense of “mystery and awe” today, as the reflective Pisces Moon forms a sextile aspect to enigmatic Pluto (9:45 am EDT), the transforming purveyor of life’s many secrets. With Moon-Pluto, we tend to want to go “deep within,” in our noble quest for relevance and higher meaning. This aspect also potentially holds a strong reservoir of healing energy.

Too, with Pisces ruling water, we may want to indulge in a spa treatment, perhaps steam therapy, for removing toxins from our bodies. Pluto rules both toxins and the process of elimination.

Also, we could probably use this same Moon-Pluto energy to do some revamping of our home or office decor, even if we only move a few things around. Sometimes simply moving objects in our environment has the net affect of freeing up stuck energy. For instance, I recently removed a small table from my den that had been sitting by itself for years in a corner. Once I did, I immediately felt a sense of release and movement around me, like a onerous weight had been lifted. I also recycled the table (Pluto rules recycling) by donating it to charity. Giving the chance for the table to also enjoy a new life where it, perhaps, will be greatly appreciated.

Famous Birthdays March 31st: Al Gore (63), DMC (47)

“During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the internet.” Al Gore

NEWS UPDATE: The famous “missing cobra” from the New York Bronz Zoo was found safe and alive today at the zoo just as the Moon was forming a harmonious sextile to “Detective Clouseau” Pluto. Pluto rules snakes. Too, whenever Pluto’s ray is activated, we tend to find out about things that have been previously hidden. Pluto is associated with ferreting out secrets. The snake had been missing for a few days.

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” Oprah Winfrey

Opportunistic Jupiter squares passionate Pluto (3:41 pm EST): Doing what we are passionate about can be very freeing for us. New doors could suddenly open up to us if we focus and harness our energies wisely. Purging ourselves of what is outworn, also allows us to move forward to a brighter future. (Pluto rules the principle of elimination.) Also, a great day for refurbishing, or giving things “new life.”

Shadow side of Jupiter-Pluto: Becoming too obsessed with a course of action. Desire for manipulation and control at all costs. Power-hungry. Ruthlessness, or expression of extreme forms of behavior.

Sun/Mercury sextile Pluto: Transforming or regenerating circumstances. Penetrating insights. “Aha” moments.  What was previously hidden or disguised, is gloriously revealed. (Pluto rules secrets and the subconscious realm).

Moon in Sagittarius: Fires up our sense of wonderment and adventure. We also want to express and act upon our higher beliefs and convictions.

Shadow side of Sadge Moon: Fanaticism. Too preachy or boastful. Extravagance (which Pluto will likely do combat with today).

“Healing yourself is connected with healing others.” Yoko Ono

COSMIC WEATHER:

Moon bids farewell to trailblazing Aries for the soothing, open box of dark chocolates that is the self-indulgent Taurus Moon (6:23 am EST). It could be that we are moving a little more slowly today, as we are fondly cocooned in our satin sheet paradise. A sorrowful tragedy that some of us have to leave our plush pad for the drill of the 9 to 5 workaday world. 🙂

Although, love goddess Venus is also in a tight squeeze with passionate Pluto (8:49 pm EST) in employer Capricorn. This Venus-Pluto conjunction could make for some rather interesting “intimate scenarios” in the workplace, as well as providing for a steady stream of hot gossip at the water cooler. We may want to keep our ears perched for first-hand details of some real-life soap operas!

On a more “noble” level, however, Venus conjoined Pluto can also be a beautiful time when we are capable of being healed or transformed (Pluto) by the power of love. An inspiring example of this: Yesterday, on the eve of this energy (and also the same day that wounded healer Chiron entered compassionate Pisces) it was reported in the media that baseball coach Tom Walter, at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC, (close to where I live) had donated a kidney on Monday to Kevin Jordan, a freshman outfielder on his team, and effectively saved his life. Isn’t that a touching story? I was thinking when I sat down to write this blog this morning, wouldn’t it be wonderful if each one of us could also find a way to use this transforming cosmic energy somehow to help heal or to give hope to someone else today? Wouldn’t that be cool?

Mercury, Mars, Pluto conjunct in Capricorn December 13, 2010

“Coming to terms with the fear of death is conducive to healing, positive personality transformation, and consciousness evolution.” Stanislav Grof

With retrograde Mercury (mind) conjunct energizing Mars and regenerating Pluto in achievement Capricorn, we are likely feeling the need to stretch or extend ourselves today.

It may be crucial for us to seek out personally transforming activities (Pluto) now, that help us to grow beyond our normal boundaries, or that help us to redefine ourselves (Pluto). There may also be a real need or desire to pioneer and blaze new trails (Mars). This may especially be the case on the career or professional front (Capricorn).

Our thoughts and ideas (Mercury) also have more of an intensity and focus to them now. We are more capable of strategic thinking and planning, and our capacity for understanding is also deeper (Pluto). We are, correspondingly, better able to figure out riddles, and solve problems and mysteries.

It could be, too, that we learn about new information that has major impact for our lives, or hear about things that have previously been hidden (Pluto). Pluto governs spying, espionage, and leaks. Pluto also represents what is buried or hidden inside of us at the deepest levels, the reservoir of previous experiences that we have submerged. What we have suppressed, or pushed down inside of us, may be rising to the surface now, as Pluto rules the process of elimination and with Mars, this elimination process is activated. We purge ourselves of what we no longer need, so that we have room for new growth and evolution. Pluto governs the principles of death and re-birth. Too, as part of this purging experience, we may feel more of a need to talk about or verbalize (Mercury) what has been buried inside ourselves (Pluto). It is an excellent time, for instance, for psychotherapy.

On the shadow side of this highly volatile line-up of energy, and this line-up is very high-wattage, we can easily overreact and overdo, and physically and mentally exhaust ourselves in the process. Mars rules the physical energy in the body, and in alignment with intense Pluto, we tend to extend ourselves to the extreme. We become too stretched.

It is also easier for us now to become embroiled in heated arguments and quick-tempered disputes (Mercury-Mars), particularly bitter, manipulative power struggles (Mars-Pluto). Often with Mars-Pluto we act obsessively in ways that we don’t quite understand, as we are expressing needs and desires that are deep-seated in origin, that have been buried inside, and these things are consciously, for the most part, often unrecognized or misunderstood by us. If we see that more of the negative manifestation of this energy is playing out around us today, especially if we feel like lashing out for no good reason, we may need to find a way to disengage ourselves, while simultaneously searching for more inclusive strategies for compromise, or cooperation with others. This triple conjunction energy can be very healing today, but only if we choose to tap into it in enlightened, non self-serving ways. That is the key.

“Stretching his hand up to reach the stars, too often man forgets the flowers at his feet.” Jeremy Bentham

Cosmic Word Of The Day: Stretch

(Mercury, Mars, Pluto triple conjunction)

Stretch: 1) to draw tight or taut 2) to lengthen, widen, distend, or enlarge by tension

“With retrograde Mercury (mind) conjunct energizing Mars and regenerating Pluto in achievement Capricorn, we are likely feeling the need to stretch or extend ourselves today.

It may be crucial for us to seek out personally transforming activities (Pluto) now, that help us to grow beyond our normal boundaries, or that help us to redefine ourselves (Pluto). There may also be a real need or desire to pioneer and blaze new trails (Mars). This may especially be the case on the career or professional front (Capricorn).

Our thoughts and ideas (Mercury) also have more of an intensity and focus to them now. We are more capable of strategic thinking and planning, and our capacity for understanding is also deeper (Pluto). We are, correspondingly, better able to figure out riddles, and solve problems and mysteries.

It could be, too, that we learn about new information that has major impact for our lives, or hear about things that have previously been hidden (Pluto). Pluto governs spying, espionage, and leaks. Pluto also represents what is buried or hidden inside of us at the deepest levels, the reservoir of previous experiences that we have submerged. What we have suppressed or pushed down inside of us may be rising to the surface now, as Pluto rules the process of elimination and with Mars, this elimination process is activated. We purge ourselves of what we no longer need, so that we have room for new growth and evolution. Pluto governs death and re-birth. Too, as part of this purging experience, we may feel more of a need to talk about or verbalize (Mercury) what has been buried inside ourselves (Pluto). It is an excellent time, for instance, for psychotherapy.

On the shadow side of this highly volatile line-up of energy, and this line-up is very high-wattage today, we can easily overreact and overdo, and physically and mentally exhaust ourselves in the process. It is also easier now for us to become embroiled in heated arguments and disputes (Mercury-Mars), particularly bitter, manipulative power struggles (Mars-Pluto). If we see that more of the negative manifestation of this energy is playing out around us today, we may need to disengage ourselves somehow, while simultaneously searching for more inclusive strategies for compromise, or cooperation with others. This triple conjunction energy can be very healing today, but only if we choose to tap into it in enlightened, non self-serving ways. That is the key

Meanwhile, the Moon’s continuing passage through emotional, retreating Pisces also heightens our sensitivity to the drama going on around us now and, at times, may put us at odds with our own desires to forge boldly ahead. The Moon’s conjunction with rebel Uranus (7:36 pm EST) also can magnify any personal feelings of inner tension or turmoil.

“The life of man is a struggle on earth. But without a cross, without a struggle, we get nowhere. The victory is ours if we combine our efforts courageously, even when at times they appear futile.” Boniface Wimmer

“Coming to terms with the fear of death is conducive to healing, positive personality transformation, and consciousness evolution.” Stanislav Grof

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope November 8, 2010: Yes We Can

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Emotional Moon continues in “Big Picture” Sagittarius, along with Pioneering Mars. Mental Mercury also joins the proselytizing pair there today, leaving guarded Scorpio (6:43 pm EST). With the Moon, Mars, and Mercury all installed in Sagittarius, we have an enthusiastic trio of, “Yes we can!” energy at our disposal.

Also, later on in the day, the Moon forms a square aspect to Optimistic Jupiter (9:04 pm EST), the ruler of Sagittarius, at which time we should pretty much be able to “walk on water.”

Sagittarius, the Archer, is a very futuristic, positive, and goal-oriented sign known for its broad vision.  The keywords for it are: “I inspire.”

One big drawback, though, to the “Eye on the distant horizon” Sagittarius energy is that it tends to “gloss over details.” And we all know that “The Devil” is ready to pounce on us, whenever we “screw up” or “get careless” with the details. So we need to make sure today that we also enlist the support of the Shrewd, Investigative Scorpio Sun before we “get in over our head.”

Activities highlighted today: Preaching, teaching, academic matters, writing, publishing, speaking, sales, cold-calling, social networking, traveling.

Quote for Today:

“If you only do what you know you can do – you never do very much.” Tom Krause

This Day in History:

On November 8, 1989, Douglas Wilder is elected the first black U.S. governor (Virginia).  Also, on that same date, David Dinkins is elected the first black mayor of New York city.

On that day, the Sun, Mercury, and Pluto are all exactly conjunct in “Transforming” Scorpio, the sign which Pluto rules. So we had like a “double-whammy” of major “renovating-type” energy.

Normally, when the Sun, which signifies power and leadership issues, conjoins “Controlling” Pluto, matters of dominance and control naturally come to the forefront. Intellectual Mercury’s inclusion here also suggests that our “mental consciousness” of the day was “more predisposed” towards embracing the idea of “a new order.” (Scorpio)

“Trailblazing” Mars was also at 2 degrees of Scorpio and exactly sextile to “Equality Ruling” Uranus, the electrifying “planet of change,”  at 2 degrees of Capricorn, the sign that “rules government.” “Energizer” Mars always tends to “fire us up,” and aligned with “Out of the Box” Uranus, we were much more likely to want to embark down “new” or “non-traditional” paths then, and also more interested in seeing that others also be granted “equal rights” or “equal input” (Uranus) in the hierarchy of government (Capricorn).
