COSMIC WATCH:

There’s a New Moon / Partial Solar Eclipse on November 25th in adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, putting a spotlight on the various areas associated with this sign: philosophy and our belief systems, religion, politics, publishing, higher education, the law, foreign cultures, and long-distance travel. The New Moon Eclipse is occurring at 2 degrees 37 minutes of Sadge (1:10 am EST).

New Moons traditionally usher in new beginnings, while the more highly-charged eclipses tend to “speed things up,” allowing us to “leapfrog” into the future at a seemingly much faster clip than during a standard New Moon. For example, things that we were maybe expecting to happen at a certain point, down the road, may suddenly be occurring now, at a much earlier timetable than anticipated.

Too, even though a New Moon puts a focus on new starts, there can also be abrupt endings that occur around the time of an eclipse. Or at the very least, feelings of finality, involving some events or situations in our lives.  We will want to pay attention to what house (area of life) in our personal horoscopes that the eclipse is falling in for possible clues to where some of this “transitioning” may be occurring, along with noting the planetary aspects this lunation is making in our charts. Eclipse points remain activated zones in our horoscopes for up to six months, although we usually feel their impact within a few days, either side of the event.

This New Moon Eclipse in Sagittarius is forming a flowing trine to liberating Uranus in spontaneous-acting Aries. This also suggests more of a positive receptivity, on our part, to change and discovery. Also, this bodes well for our being able to to adaptively roll with whatever may suddenly manifest for us with this eclipse. Uranus also rules our intuition, originality, and talent for innovation and invention. Accordingly, we may feel more inspired now to “do our own thing.” Expressing or articulating our opinions and points of view, as well as perhaps trying to rally others over to our way of thinking, may also be included here, with Sagittarius often harboring a mean evangelistic streak. It is the sign of preachers, after all. And politicians! It may be interesting, too, to pay more attention to the protest movements, in the collective, to see if they pick up more steam now. Also, there could be notable events occurring now in the world of politics, maybe even certain politicians exiting (eclipse) the scene. With Sadge also ruling publishing, we might want to eye what titles are being released now, especially if any of them might be game-changers for the collective.

Hopefully, too, with Uranus’s brilliant ray involved, we will also see some major scientific / technological feats, debuts, or discoveries around eclipse time. Uranus rules both  science and technology. With the long-distance travel sign of Sagittarius also involved, perhaps this will include astronomical discoveries or breakthroughs. Too, it could be that we experience personal breakthroughs (Uranus) in our consciousness now regarding our beliefs or higher purpose. Also, we may be able to problem-solve in a more “out of the box” way with the issues going on around us. We should at least challenge ourselves to do so now. Also, the inspiration of Uranus will often come to us as sudden flashes of intuition, so we may want to make sure that we quickly jot down our genius revelations when they appear, lest we soon forget them.

On the shadow side, what we may want to avoid doing now, with this eclipse, is making wholesale changes in our lives for the mere sake of change, without having a clear strategy in mind.  We may also need to carefully consider the consequences of our actions, in advance, so we don’t inadvertently self-sabotage ourselves. Too, the New Moon Eclipse is forming an awkward quinqunx aspect to exaggerating Jupiter in Taurus, the natural ruler of Sagittarius, which can easily incline us to overreach, overpromise, overindulge, and overspend, if we are not mindful.

With communicator Mercury, governing our thinking, also in retrograde phase in Sagittarius, during this eclipse, we are urged to double-check, triple-check, even quadruple-check all of the facts or details in matters, especially with regards to any travel plans, meetings, contracts or agreements. Too, the eclipse is widely square to impulsive, assertive Mars, which can also, on the negative side, scatter our focus and make us somewhat brazen or uncompromising. Of course, we do not have to venture down any of those prickly paths, if we consciously choose to stay on target with our more noble intentions and goals and act responsibly, with consideration for others. Cultivating and maintaining a keen mind-body awareness can also help us out here. When we pay close attention to how our body is feeling and functioning, in conjunction with our thoughts and our environment, we usually intuitively know when we are veering off course, or perhaps getting in over our head, or acting inappropriately. Our body rarely ever lies to us.

“Emotion always has its roots in the unconscious and manifests itself in the body.” Irene Claremont de Castillejo

Compatible activities or avenues of expression for the New Moon / Eclipse in Sagittarius: Teaching/ lecturing/ attending seminars, registering for new classes; writing and or self-publishing; learning new languages; socializing with people from other cultures; involvement with advertisement/PR campaigns; sales and cold-calling; self-promotion; involvement with politics and social causes; taking stands with respect to one’s beliefs; foreign travel; studying world religions; partaking/leading worship or church services; galloping with Trigger into the wild blue yonder at sunset 🙂

Scientific News Update 11/25/11: On the eve of this Solar Eclipse, which happened to trine “breakthrough” planet, Uranus, it was reported yesterday (published in Nature) that scientists have sequenced the genome of a widespread pest, the “spider mite.” The genome is reportedly the smallest arthropod genome sequenced so far.  The “spider mite” is a major cause for house plants turning yellow and getting sick. It reportedly costs $1 billion to control the spider mite annually.

COSMIC WATCH:

Mercury and the Sun form uneasy aspects to unpredictable Uranus, suggesting disruptive forces are on the prowl. Cultivating inner calmness and tapping into our own ingenuity, however, can help us to prevail. We are also wise to minimize our exposure to risk and take precautions that take us out of the path of harm’s way.  With Mercury ruling travel and communication, too, we may need to be ready for some glitches in those areas.

On a lighter note, the theatrical Leo Moon stands ready to furnish us with healthy doses of drama and creativity for our earthly performances today, upping the ante that we will be able to evoke a warm standing ovation from our legions of fans. Accordingly, a positive day for any endeavors that put us in the spotlight. This is especially the case when the Moon conjuncts orator Mercury (7:49 pm EDT) which helps us to speak compellingly from the heart.

Astrology July 12, 2011: Moon is in “Roaming” Sagittarius

COSMIC WATCH:

“I see my path but I don’t know where it leads. Not knowing where I’m going, inspires me to travel it.” Rosalia de Castro

The Moon is in “roaming” Sagittarius all day, fueling our desire to want to explore open spaces and leave our magnificent mark on uncharted territory. This is perhaps especially the case, early on, when the Moon makes an opposition to energizing Mars in “restless sightseer” Gemini (7:56 am EDT) and then trines mental Mercury in “thinking big” on the wild prairie in Leo (8:21 am EDT). A day, too, when we are more likely to want to vigorously share our homespun views and massive insights about the “big picture,” as the Sadge Moon tends to incite an evangelistic thread in us. If we are also able to sell a little “snake oil” to fellow travelers on the mystical journey of life, so be it. 🙂

“Evangelism is selling a dream.” Guy Kawasaki

Do you feel comfortable in the “preacher” role? Do you have any planets in Sagittarius in your horoscope?

BTW, today marks the first anniversary of the 164-year revolution of Neptune’s orbit around the Sun, since Neptune was discovered on September 23, 1846. (Would like to thank LillyRoddyShow@Twitter for this cool information.)

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.

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 March 30, 2011: “Return To Sender” Mercury Stations Retrograde!

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Communication works for those who work at it.” John Powell

“Communication kingpin” Mercury stations retrograde today at 24 degrees of impetuous Aries. The “winged messenger” will remain retrograde (appearing to go backward in the sky) until April 23rd.

By now, most of us know that when Mercury goes retrograde, communication and travel matters often seem to hit more snags and snarls. Of course, this is merely conjecture on our part about Mercury and its alleged correlation to these kinds of snafus. Still, to cover our bases, in any regard, we may want to pay closer attention when reading the fine print now, especially when signing any agreements and contracts (if possible, we may want to postpone signings until Mercury goes direct, which is something I always personally try to do). Also, we may want to double-check correspondence, emails, do extra backup on our computer files, have a “plan B” ready for travel plans, etc.

Theoretically, when a planet is retrograde, we are urged to do a “review” or “re-assessment” of the matters that the planet represents. Kind of like putting a car gear “in reverse,” we revisit old territory. It could be, too, that we “missed” seeing some things, the first go round, and that during the retro phase, new information comes to light. Also, with Mercury ruling our thinking, we may want to use this “retro phase” for evaluating our most recent thoughts and ideas. See if they are really worthwhile to pursue in the future. Mercury in impulsive Aries is inclined to making hasty, split-second decisions, so it probably doesn’t hurt any, to take some time out now to rethink things.

Also, with respect to the above-mentioned quote by John Powell, even though Mercury may be retrograde for the next three weeks, there is no reason that communication has to fail, if we are willing to work at it. I think this point often sadly gets overlooked in all the “Mercury retrograde” hype.

COSMIC WEATHER:

Moon switches from “highway man” Sagittarius to “let’s get down to business” Capricorn (2:32 pm EST). But, before the Moon vacates truth-seeking Sadge, she forms a heavenly sextile to mystical Neptune (12:09 pm EST), who takes her for an idyllic stroll on the gentle wings of angels. The short jaunt truly inspires the Moon to “keep believing in miracles,” and suggests for all of us, a magical time period ahead, if we but dare to believe in the unseen, “divine forces.”

“Miracles occur naturally as an expression of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense, everything that comes from love is a miracle.” Marie Lloyd.

Venus in Sagittarius January 7, 2011 to February 4, 2011 Astrology

“To laugh often and love much…to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to give one’s self…this is to have succeeded.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Love goddess Venus, governing money and relationships, flits into friendly, high-flying Sagittarius on January 7th, where she will stay until February 4th. In Sadge, we become more freedom-loving, more lighthearted. We turn off the surveillance cameras (installed during Venus in Scorpio), because we are no longer naturally suspicious. We are much more trusting with this Venus placement, wanting to believe the best in others.  We are also back to openly flirting and joking around. However, please don’t try to tie us down. There’s way too much of the world to see, and so little time. We are capable of commitment, but we would definitely prefer to be friends first.

Venus in Sagittarius does love to travel and explore, so this is a good period for us to book that flight or cruise, and get away. Sadge Venus also has a soft spot for people from other cultures. There can be a real love of languages, learning, philosophy, religion, politics, and writing. We may also feel more of a need to express our higher beliefs and viewpoints in our relationships now. Politicians, lawyers, writers, used car salesman, promoters, advertising sales reps, teachers (Sadge professions), may all be more romantically appealing to us. We are also more optimistic about our money prospects, and there may be more of an upside to our monetary affairs. Especially around January 23rd, when Venus favorably meets up with stabilizing Saturn.

Venus in Sadge Quote: “Mr. President. Tear down those walls!!! Free us from the shackles and handcuffs. Remove the secret recording devices in the phones. Venus in Scorpio has left the building!!!

Celebrities with Venus in Sagittarius: Jane Fonda, Whoopi Goldberg, Tina Turner, Christina Aguilera, David Bowie, Kevin Costner.

Astrology: Mercury Direct, Sex Possible Again? December 30, 2010

“I think – therefore I’m single.” Lizz Winstead

Cosmic Weather:

Winged Messenger Mercury, associated with thinking, communication, travel, and the inner workings of thermometers, stations direct today (2:22 am EST) at 19 degrees of visionary Sagittarius, after nearly a three-week retrograde period.

With Mercury’s direct motion, we have clearance, once again, to fully engage in unedited, primal, raw thinking.  No more of the obligatory recalling of our thoughts. No need to dutifully swallow our words, or to speak sheepishly in monotone whispers.

We also have the cosmic go ahead to purchase computers, printers, color TVs, microwave ovens, buy cars, etc. It’s also okay to sign or negotiate contracts. (Some elitists, however, may want to wait until Mercury gets out of its official “shadow period” on January 17th, 2011, or passes over the 5-degree point in Capricorn where it initially went retrograde, to do these things. See my “Mercury stations direct blog” for more info.)

This direct motion also comes along at exactly the right time because the Moon is presently deposited in sexy Scorpio. Wouldn’t you know that the universe would have us thinking immediately about sex, right out of the gate? Probably something to do with the propagation of the species.

Too, with our tender brains having been on ice for the last few weeks, the “powers that be” maybe thought we would need a few days to get our mental faculties fully back up to speed. Although, sometimes the activities between the sheets can also get very complicated:

“John…”

“Marsha…”

“John…”

“Oh, Marsha…”

“Oh, John… John… I mean, Jack…”

“Jack! Who the hell’s Jack!”

“My heart beat so hard when I was near him, I feared he could hear my secret longing for him.” Destiny Vaestus

A few possible probing questions to ask ourselves today: Do we even remember what sex is? Approximately, what year did we last have sex? Do we recall if it was a solo event then, or more of a team sport? To the best of our recollection, was Mercury retrograde, or direct, when we last had sex?  Where was the Moon, still up in the sky? Can only leakers of classified information engage in unprotected sex? Can we only have unprotected sex in Sweden? Why do we think that Scorpio, the sign that governs sex, is associated with deadly scorpions? Go figure. 🙂

Mercury Stations Direct in Sagittarius December 30, 2010

The planet Mercury, governing travel, communication, contracts, and so forth, finally stations direct at 19 degrees of Sagittarius on December 30th at 2:22 am EST. Hallelujah!

Mercury has been retrograde (appearing to be in backward motion in the night sky) since December 10th. It turned retrograde at 5 degrees of Capricorn. It will officially be retracing its “shadow” until January 17th, when it gets back to that 5-degree mark.

When Mercury is retrograde, there can be general confusion, misunderstandings, reversals, travel snafus, etc. Mercury retrograde is also a time when we “move forward” by actually “going backwards.” In other words, we “review or mull over” our recent decisions, or thinking on things. When Mercury goes direct, we are then free (cosmically cleared) to put into motion whatever we revisited or concluded when Mercury was retrograde.

The Mercury retrograde period, additionally, can be an excellent time for tossing around new strategies in our head.  We just don’t want to actually implement anything new until Mercury goes direct.

Anyway, with Mercury direct again, we have the green light to make important decisions, purchase electronics and appliances, sign and or negotiate contracts, buy automobiles. We can also resume brushing our teeth in a forward motion.

“At the sound of the beep, you may begin recording your sexy little message for all the world to hear. When you have finished recording it, if you are satisfied with it, you may ‘press one’ to begin using it as your official greeting.

On the other hand, if you are not satisfied with the message for any reason, perhaps you feel that your inflection was not quite right or seductive enough, or that you maybe should not have cussed halfway through it,  and you would like to re-record it, we are sorry, but you are plum out of luck!

This is because mental Mercury has finally stationed direct in “shoot from the hip” Sagittarius.  What this means is that the time period for reviews and rewinds is over! It’s time now to proceed full-throttle ahead in our thinking and communication, although we may want to wait a few days until our brain is fully thawed out before giving it anything too complicated to ponder, as our minds have been on ice for almost three weeks now.

Too, the purists among us, may want to wait until Mercury moves out of its’ “shadow period” to resume full use of the mental faculties and for rendering key decisions (January 17th). So, use your own discretion here. We only report the planets, fair and balanced. You decide what, if anything, to do with them.” 🙂

“Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.” Anne Morrow Lindbergh

“Mercury turns retro in Capricorn today at five degrees.”

“Please, would you kindly repeat that for me? You say that the mercury is reading what? Five degrees?  It feels more like about 70 in here to me.  Unless, I’m having a hot flash. Your mercury in your thermometer must be wrong, lady.”

“No, I’m not talking about the temperature. I’m talking about the p-l-a-n-e-t Mercury. Mercury goes retrograde in Capricorn today, at five degrees. Near malefic Pluto and hotheaded Mars, which means…”

“I’m sorry. But, I still don’t quite understand you. You also appear to be moving your upper right lip kinda’ funny when you speak. Are the planets making you do that? Or have you been, perhaps, hanging out with President Obama? Please, if you could. Repeat whatever you are saying, just one more time. The point you are making about the hot temperature on Mars is what? And how does it affect our hair?”

“Not Mars! Mercury.  I was talking about M-E-R-C-U-R-Y! And, nothing about the temperature, or our hair! Mercury the planet, up in the sky, is going retrograde! :)

Yes, a sweet, nauseating preview of possible coming attractions the next 20 days as communicator Mercury, which also rules travel, goes retro, or seemingly backwards in motion, until Dec. 30th.

Mercury retrograde is a period of routine maintenance for our minds, diabolically visited upon us by a wicked cosmos.

It is set aside as a period for us to “review” and “reflect” upon our earlier thoughts and decisions, with a probable eye to “revising” whatever it is that we originally hatched or incubated inside our moist little reptilian brains.

Mercury retrograde characteristically correlates with misunderstandings, or general mental confusion. So it’s always a good idea to clarify and double-check things, especially travel plans. Also, we may want to double-check the thermostat. Just in case.
