clarity, communication, Mercury conjunct Sun, Rolling Stones appear on Ed Sullivan Show for first time, understanding

Cosmic Weather:

The Sun and Mercury meet up in secretive Scorpio today (2:23 pm), officially marking the halfway point in Mercury’s retrograde cycle. This “inferior conjunction” between the Sun and the Winged Messenger may very well translate into our finally being able to solve a big piece of the cryptic puzzle before us now – although we are still likely, not quite ready to put a big red bow on it and move on. Not to worry, though, because, soon enough, we will, undoubtedly, have all the riveting answers that we need, or require, in order to come to our usual impeccable conclusions! 🙂

Overall, this Sun-Mercury alignment will hopefully allow us to gain a greater understanding of substantive matters as our mind is unusually clear now. It may also be a period that is punctuated with an increased need for communication with others, especially possibly a time when there might be a greater willingness or eagerness to want to share or disclose things about ourselves of a more intimate nature.

“He showed me his scars, and in return he let me pretend that I had none.” Madeline Miller

Mercury will station direct in Libra on November 3rd (Election Day in the US!).

*All times EDT.

On This Day in History: It was 56 years ago tonight (October 25, 1964) that the Rolling Stones appeared on the “Ed Sullivan Show” for the first time – and also a time when the majority of America got their first glimpse of the more rebellious rock group. The Stones performed two songs in less than seven minutes — their latest hit “Time Is On My Side,” and a cover of Chuck Berry’s “Around And Around.”

Astrologically, that night, the ever-twinkling stars were seemingly smiling brightly upon the British rock band, with lovable, artistic Venus (in perfecting Virgo) exactly trine to propitious Jupiter (in enduring Taurus), often regarded as one of the luckiest and most pleasurable transits around.

Pioneering Mars was also deposited in flashy “rock star” Leo and in an exact square to “kingly” Jupiter, an aspect in which we often may experience moments or instances that sort of feel “larger-than-life” to us, in many respects. Mars-Jupiter energy characteristically tends to “pump us up” with insatiable enthusiasm or excitement for matters. It can also sometimes portend the start of something really BIG (like the rollout of the world’s greatest Rock and Roll Band!). Many have also said that the Stones had their “breakout performance” on the TV show, that October evening.

“People love talking about when they were young and heard Honky Tonk Women for the first time. It’s quite a heavy load to carry on your shoulders, the memories of so many people.” Mick Jagger

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

Astrology December 12, 2019: Full Moon in Gemini

ambiguity, communication, daily astrology, Full Moon in Gemini 2019, knowledge, understanding

Cosmic Weather:

With a Full Moon occurring today (12:12 am) in curious, “I Know” Gemini, the sign of The Reporter, we may possibly be privy to an influx of dizzying facts and information coming at us quickly now, that we may need to meander our way through.  As well as perhaps experiencing an equally strong desire to share what it is that we know, or have concluded, or are rapidly learning about.

Gemini is the communication sign, so there’s always a lot of natural “to and fro” energy swirling about it. A lot of buzz.

Since Full Moons also generate more light by which to see, they are generally regarded as “revelatory” in nature. So what has been hidden or submerged now has a good chance of coming out into full view.

Today’s Full Moon in Gemini also puts the opposing Sun in “I Understand” Sagittarius, which symbolizes The Philosopher. And, it’s also where Mercury, the ruler of today’s lunation, is hanging out. So we’re ideally seeking to balance or apply any of the incoming data (Gemini) that we are receiving now with a kernel of higher wisdom (Sagittarius) so it has, hopefully, a more meaningful, as well as more useful application or context for our lives.

However, one notable challenge that we may face with today’s lunation is that it forms a square to “elusive” Neptune. So it could be that we are dealing with something that is missing, confusing, or just not very reliable now. As a result, we may want to temporarily adopt a holding pattern of sorts, or a cautious wait-and-see attitude, until further details emerge.

It may also be a good time to wade a bit deeper into our faith and hope for the future (Sagittarius), especially if we’re feeling a bit out of sorts. Trusting that the Universe has our back, no matter what.

Too, in reality, when you think about it, when do we ever really have “all the answers” at our disposal when we want them? Much of the time, to adapt as best we can, we simply have to “wing it,” and just go with what it is that we do know.

And that could be, yet, another possible takeaway or reminder for us from today’s Full Moon in the sign of the Winged Messenger: To learn to embrace, and to accept, sometimes the sheer ambiguity of life (Neptune). To acknowledge that, sometimes, it’s perfectly okay “not to know.” Or to realize that we don’t have to twist ourselves into a pretzel every time we are unable to connect all the dots.

Also, sometimes, when we’re operating “a bit in the dark,” it’s a potent way for us to remain more fully engaged in life itself. And, at the end of the day, that could end up being a very good thing for us! 🙂

*All times EST

Happy Full Moon Blessings to you!

Astrology January 29, 2019: Mercury’s Superior Conjunction With Sun

“Communication without clarity is noise. Speak with purpose and you’ll propel your audience to take massive action towards a journey of self-improvement.” Farshad Asl

Mercury, symbolizing our way of thinking and communicating, forms a superior conjunction with the Sun tonight (9:52 pm), our basic identity, at 10 degrees of detached Aquarius.  This Mercury-Sun aspect is analogous to the illuminating Full Moon, in terms of Mercury’s approximate 116-day cycle. And, just as it is when we have a Full Moon, we are potentially more privy now to gaining greater clarity about matters in our lives. Especially, perhaps, with respect to more clearly understanding our own life purpose (the Sun) in relation to the larger collective (Aquarius). With Mercury conjunct the Sun, our basic sense of self, permeates or colors our thinking and outlook. It could be that we also receive a piece or two of vital information, at this time, or maybe birth a deeper insight, that confirms for us what we had already suspected in the back of our mind. That also potentially keenly aids us in our continuing voyage of self-discovery. We tend to do a better job now of filling in the blanks, connecting the dizzying dots. Discerning, particularly, what’s working for us, and what’s not. This phase of Mercury is also associated with having more of a practical, long-range view of things, that is based largely on facts and history (left-brain) versus a mental perspective focused more on our emotions or intuition (right-brain).

In general, the Mercury-Sun energy now is very favorable for learning, brainstorming, and problem-solving, especially since this superior conjunction is occurring in the futuristic, innovative sign of Aquarius, where there’s always greater receptivity to new ideas. It’s also an excellent time to, perhaps, seriously think about or discuss, forward-moving ideas that can help to benefit or liberate the collective or humanity as a whole. “Those who do not move, do not notice their chains.” Rosa Luxemburg

Astronomically, Mercury in superior conjunction with the Sun marks the end of Mercury’s appearance in the morning sky and its transition to being an object visible in the evening, in the days ahead.

*All times EST.

Hope you enjoy your day! Think progressively! 🙂

Astrology February 11, 2013: Venus Squares Saturn, Moon Sextiles Pluto

astrology february 11 2013, astrology for february 11 2013, horoscope february 11 2013, Moon sextile Pluto, Pope Benedict XVI mentions he's resigning, relationships, renewal, Sarah Palin birthday, understanding, Venus square Saturn

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon in idealistic Pisces helps us tap into our more charitable side. There is also a transforming quality to the morning as the Moon sextiles renewing Pluto (10:40 am EST). Something that was perhaps hidden or concealed to us before, may now finally be viewed or understood, or at least partially grasped. Lovable Venus squaring serious Saturn may also find us duly reflecting upon our relationships and whether or not we are getting our needs met. “When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.” Donald Miller

Famous Birthdays February 11: Burt Reynolds, Jennifer Aniston, Manuel Noriega, Sarah Palin. “Buck up or stay in the truck.” Sarah Palin

In the News: It was announced today that Pope Benedict XVI will resign from his post on February 28. This surprising announcement comes on the heels of Mars (in spiritual Pisces) exactly squaring Jupiter (in newsmaker Gemini) just yesterday. It is often the nature of action-oriented Mars to trigger “historic firsts.” Jupiter is also the planet of organized religion.

Enjoy your Monday!
