Cosmic Weather:

“The causes of every human action, Tolstoy thought, were so manifold, so complex, and so deeply hidden in unconscious motivations that it is impossible to know why anything ever happened.” Mortimer J. Adler and Charles Van Doren

There’s a Full Moon in transformational Scorpio, this morning (at 6:45 am). It’s also the last Supermoon of 2020 (the other two were in March and April). Meaning that it’s occurring at the closest point to Earth during its orbit, making it appear larger and brighter.

Today’s Full Moon is also referred to in the Old Farmer’s Almanac as the “Full Flower Moon,” a name that originated with the Native Americans. Obviously echoing Mother Nature’s return to abundance in the Northern hemisphere when so much is abloom and full of life.

With today’s lunation, we are basically seeking to balance our need for physical comfort, safety, and security (Sun in Taurus) with an opposing desire for fulfillment or renewal in the spiritual/non-physical/inner realm (Moon in Scorpio). Whenever Luna is deposited in Pluto-ruled Scorpio (the sign of life, death, and rebirth), we are made more keenly aware of the profound mysteries of our existence, with Scorpio intently focusing on what’s hidden or below the surface.

So having a powerful, revelatory Full Moon occurring in Scorpio now we potentially have, among other things, a very potent opportunity for ferreting out the truth, as we know it or understand it. Especially since this Full Moon is forming an opposition to information-minded Mercury, which only three days ago formed an exact superior conjunction with the Sun. Normally a time (again) when we are presented with clear data or findings or experience sudden epiphanies. It could also be that today’s Full Moon opposition to that same Mercury-Sun meetup point takes those discoveries or results, one step further. Too, generally with a culminating Full Moon, we can have abrupt endings or receive final outcomes or are able to come to some pretty accurate conclusions or assessments about various elements of our lives, including possibly getting a good handle now on how we are coming along with the intentions that we may have set, or the actions that were taken, during the New Moon in Taurus, two weeks ago. 

Additionally, the Full Moon in passionate Scorpio may find our emotions at peak intensity, especially since Scorpio is a fixed water sign which tends to always feel things very deeply. There can also be more of an emphasis now on such issues as intimacy and trust, shared resources, and purging or refurbishing.

Also today, mental Mercury, in pragmatic Taurus, is forming a sextile to mystical Neptune in Pisces. This more subtle influence may help to bring our dreams into sharper focus. It can also supply us with a greater ability to express on an intellectual level what we are sensing more intuitively. Accordingly, today might also be a fun time to throw a few Tarot cards and see what comes up for us. It’s also an excellent time to investigate our nocturnal dreams. We may be experiencing more vivid dreams than usual now.

*All times EDT.

Happy Full Moon Blessings! Hope it’s a good one! Be safe and well.

Astrology April 25, 2020: Mercury Square Pluto, Pluto Stations Retrograde

Cosmic Weather: 

Even though it’s the weekend, we may still want to challenge ourselves to do a bit of heavy “mental lifting” today as we have the nurturing Moon now eruditely scurrying through curious Gemini (at 3:20 am) and Gemini’s ruler, intellectual Mercury, exactly squaring off with probing, investigative Pluto (at 3:36 am). This more intense, often obsessive Mercury-Pluto energy is especially good for detecting or ferreting out secret information/covert messages, exposing hidden weaknesses, or possibly uncovering hidden motivations. On the flip side, it could also raise awareness of privacy concerns. This astrological aspect is also sometimes linked with jaw-dropping, shocking plot twists.

Communicator Mercury also governs our speech or words and paired with riveting Pluto now our words may carry more dramatic impact or have an extra bite or zing to them. We may also be much more emotionally reactive now with respect to what we see, hear, or read, especially if we perhaps find the subject matter repugnant or repulsive or taboo, to some degree, which this type of cosmic energy also often seems to elicit. More extremist viewpoints may also capture our attention, at this time, or be put before us in the spotlight in some manner. Also, on the shadow side, there can be more of a tendency towards bullying, ridiculing, or jockeying for power or position, including possibly manipulating information as an attempt to further or strengthen our own self-interests.

“Until you realize how easy it is for your mind to be manipulated, you remain the puppet of someone else’s game.” Evita Ochel

Too, Pluto is associated with purging or removing whatever is outworn or expired and aligned with mental Mercury it could be that this is an excellent time to undertake efforts to rid or eradicate our psyches of some of what we might call “garbage-type thoughts” (our debilitating fears or miscellaneous prejudices, for instance) that all too often clutter or detract from our more wondrous sense of spirit or well-being or interfere with our ability for connectedness with others. Mercury-Pluto aspects are commonly linked with seeking psychotherapy or otherwise wanting to heal or fix what’s seemingly broken inside of us or around us.

Pluto is also stationing retrograde today (at 2:54 pm) suggesting that we are now subtly shifting our focus or attention away from the more concrete manifestations of outer transformation to the invisible realm of inner transformation, including presumably beginning to more seriously process or decode now the philosophical meaning or psychological impact of what has perhaps recently been drastically altered or reconfigured in our lives. Too, it’s always the deeper meaning that we assign to things that ultimately determine their lasting impact upon us. On another level, Pluto stationing retrograde may indicate a pullback of power or support. Pluto will stay retrograde until October 4.

“I take pleasure in my transformations. I look quiet and consistent, but few know how many women there are in me.” Anais Nin

*All times EDT.

Born On This Day: American actor Al Pacino, who played Michael Corleone in The Godfather, is turning 80 years old today.

“If you get all tangled up, just tangle on.” A.P.

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology January 12, 2020: Saturn Conjuncts Pluto – The Official Findings Are Ready

12 Sunday Jan 2020

Cosmic Weather:

Well, today’s the BIG DAY: The long-awaited release of the “Cosmic Report” from the galactic bureaucrats at Construction Central. It’s due out shortly before noon (the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn occurring at 11:59 am), which should, hopefully, give us all a pretty good snapshot or assessment of how the many myriad structures that we have dutifully or dubiously erected in our scintillating lives, over the last several years, are presently faring in the ever complex, wobbly scheme of things.

Included in this top-secret report, no doubt will be countless glaring examples cited by stern “Karma Lord” Saturn of how we’ve managed to, or are still managing to “screw things up royally” despite the fact that many of us have never even been formally introduced to Megan Markle or Prince Harry, let alone spoken with either of them!

It’s also probably predictable that much of what comes out today via the “Cosmic Report” will instantly be labeled “fake news” by Pluto, the “truth-detecting” Bureau Chief of the Spy Division of the Universe. You just wait and see!

Seriously, though, let’s keep our fingers crossed that a lot of good evolutionary things will ultimately result from this very rare Saturn-Pluto linkup which hasn’t occurred, in Capricorn, for over 500 years, including hopefully providing us with super great clarity (Pluto) regarding what’s really working for us in our lives and what’s not (Saturn), so we can stop wasting our precious energetic currency going down assorted rabbit holes.

On the plus side, this aspect can also make us very self-disciplined, focused, and driven to achieve our goals.

Additionally, the Saturn and Pluto pairing is excellent for ferreting out corruption or exposing abuses of power, particularly in Capricorn-ruling corporations or government. We may also see some big consolidations of power now as well as several regime changes. So many things major happening, currently, on a geopolitical level.

“Consider the black widow spider. It’s a timid little beastie, useful and, for my taste, the prettiest of the arachnids, with its shiny, patent-leather finish and its red hourglass trademark. But the poor thing has the fatal misfortune of possessing enormously too much power for its size. So everybody kills it on sight.” Robert A. Heinlein

Tarot Card for The Day: The “Fool” Card, which suggests, in many ways, that we’re at the “sheer beginning of everything,” starting a brand new ballgame from scratch. In fact, things are so new now that it’s possible that we may not even be able to register a heartbeat or a pulse with any of it yet. Kind of scary, but sort of exhilarating at the same time! However, we are still advised, “to use caution” now, lest we do something foolish or reckless and invoke the wrath of the gods.

Numerology: Today is a “twelve” day (1-12-2020), which signals both completion and authority.

*All times EST.

Born On This Day: Swami Vivekananda, in 1863, Indian Hindu spiritual leader and a key figure in the introduction of Yoga to the Western world (d. 1902). He once said: “In a day, when you don’t come across any problems – you can be sure that you are traveling in a wrong path”

Hope it’s a good one!

Astrology December 4, 2019: First Quarter Moon in Pisces

Cosmic Weather:

A First Quarter Moon occurs in reflective Pisces today (1:59 am). This phase of the Moon (when Luna squares the Sun) normally requires us to take some sort of action in order to solidify or strengthen our New Moon vision or intentions. However, with the Moon also conjunct ethereal Neptune this morning (10:18 am), the modern-day ruler of Pisces, there could be a bit of inner uncertainty or confusion on how best to proceed. This also brings to mind what Benjamin Franklin once said: When in doubt, don’t!

Meanwhile, we could also come to a new awareness today that what we’ve been believing or assuming is the truth (Sun in Sagittarius) may be much more nuanced (Moon in Pisces) than we originally thought.

Numerologically, today is also a “four” day, suggesting a keen desire to lay down a foundation (such as the First Quarter Moon also implies). Guess we just need to be careful that we’re not building “castles in the air!” 🙂

Today’s Astrology for September 10, 2019: Virgo Sun Opposes Disappearing Neptune

10 Tuesday Sep 2019

, , , , ,

Cosmic Weather:

The illuminating, ego-conscious Sun in fastidious, bow-tied Virgo is forming its annual opposition to the grandest of all planetary disappearing acts: the visionary, trident-bearing Neptune, otherwise known as ‘the Great Dissolver,’ in selfless, oceanic Pisces (3:23 am), where the million-dollar views are, at best, blurred or obscured, and leaving virtually everything up to the imagination.

Suffice it to say, today may not be the best time to launch a full-scale fishing expedition for the facts or truth, unless we have plenty of time, perhaps, to play hide and seek. No, today we may be better off focusing our efforts on reeling in a whale of fantasy instead of channeling our inner Joe Friday. On the plus side, Sun-Neptune can be a very creative or inspired period.

On another level, the idealizing Sun-Neptune energy can also enjoin us with situations, people, or circumstances in which our caring or compassion is invoked; a time when our sense of oneness or communion, with what surrounds us, begins to seep through and delicately show itself.

“They both listened silently to the water, which to them was not just water, but the voice of life, the voice of Being, the voice of perpetual Becoming.” Herman Hesse, Sidhartha

Additionally today, the Moon is in progressive Aquarius so there can also be a yen for whatever is novel or new.

Favored activities today: Hiding our ego under a bushel basket; going fishing for our soul; paying it forward or performing acts of kindness; resting, relaxing, meditating; dancing; following our dreams; paying attention to synchronicities; deciphering the hidden meaning of cloud formatiions.

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On September 10, 1953, Swanson’s sell its first “TV dinner.” Astrologically, in the sky, that day, newsmaker Mercury in digesting Virgo was forming a waxing sextile to technology wiz kid Uranus in foodie Cancer. (Uranus also rules TV!)

Hope it’s a good one!

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.

Also expansive Jupiter in innovative Aquarius was opposing film-ruling Neptune in the entertainment sign Leo.)

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? 🙂

Astrology June 13, 2011: “Sunken Treasure” Moon in Scorpio

COSMIC WATCH:

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” Albert Einstein

With the Moon encapsuled in “probing” Scorpio, we go swimming in deeper waters today, carrying with us the firm conviction that sunken treasures inevitably await us, if only we are earnest enough to ferret them out. The Scorpio Moon passionately revels in sharing her most intimate secrets with us as a seductive pathway to our rejuvenation. When the Moon is in Scorpio, we are systemically freed by embracing the truth, wherever we may find it. It is also a good day to challenge ourselves to live by our own truth, which is not always something that is easy to do, but it is something that can be very rewarding and ultimately pave the way to our greatest fulfillment.

“All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered, the point is to discover them.” Galileo Galilei

Later tonight, the Moon shifts into “faraway eyes” Sagittarius (10:39 pm EDT), setting the stage for Wednesday’s spectacular “Total Lunar Eclipse.”

Enjoy your Monday!

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope November 29, 2010: Manic Monday

Cosmic Word Of The Day: Fanatic

(Mars square Jupiter)

Fanatic: 1) a person with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm or zeal, as in religion or politics

“To start out the work week, we have ‘manic’ Mars in ‘truth-seeking’ Sagittarius square to ‘preacher’ Jupiter in ‘which way to heaven’ Pisces (9:51 am EST).  This fanatical configuration tends to fire up our beliefs and get us on our soapbox.

Too, Love Goddess Venus leaves ‘play nice’ Libra for ‘sexual healing’ Scorpio, sending many of us off on a ‘horizontal mission.’

Meanwhile, the spotless Virgo Moon is reminding all of us that while preaching and sex may be fine and dandy, at the end of the day, what may matter most is how much vacuuming did we manage to get done today?  And, did we vacuum with zeal and passion? If not, why not? 🙂

“I’m not going to vacuum ’til Sears makes one you can ride on.” Roseanne Barr
