Moon enters Mystical Pisces (10:11 am EDT) with a Divine Full Moon also occurring in the sign (1:05 pm EDT) today.
Love Diva Venus and Sex Lord Mars are just about plum worn out in Honeymoon Libra, but with the arrival of the Fantasy Minded Pisces Moon, they gain a second wind and begin praying and chanting for the chance to spend a few more passionate nights together.
The Moon’s quinqunx to Stern Saturn in Marital Libra may throw in a monkey wrench here for Venus and Mars, however, unless sexual Pluto can convince the Moon to grant them an extension, via Pluto’s intimate, R-rated “sextile aspect” to the Moon.
The Abstaining, Logical Virgo Sun is proclaiming “No you can’t!” to a High As A Kite Jupiter in Manic Aries who is wanting to scale tall buildings, as a consequence of the pipeline of liquor supplied to him from a conjoined Lunatic Uranus in Alcohol Friendly Pisces (Sun quinqunx Jupiter).
“With the Full Moon occurring in Theologian Pisces and the Sun in “clean till you drop” Virgo, this is a good time to perform some “spiritual cleaning.” Recommended top-ten activities for this day include:
10) Alphabetizing and filing all the affirmations, sermons and church bulletins

“Analysis kills spontaneity. The grain once ground into flour springs and germinates no more.” Henri Frederic Amiel
Sun files into Studious, Dutiful Virgo (1:27 am EDT). Moon is in Scientific, Hi-Tech Aquarius. Love Goddess Venus and Sex Pistol Mars are holding on for dear life together in Mating Libra. The Leo Sun is catching some grief from Fashion Coordinator Mars in Libra because the Sun’s gold-colored tie is clashing with the variant gold tone hue of its sunspots (Sun semi-square Mars).
“The Sun enters Immaculate Virgo today, a sign known not only for its fortitude for cleaning, but also for its vast intelligence and book smarts. With the lovey-dovey, sex duo, Venus and Mars, still cooing with every breath, I’m thinking that it’s a grand time to dust off those fantasies about quiet librarians.
We need to drop by the public library and maybe hang out in the Aquarian Moon’s science and technology section. And brace ourselves for some page-turning moments, as we feel the heat coming off the books, and finally spy the “prim and proper” librarian, passionately fidgeting with her eyeglasses. OMG!!!
UPDATED NEWS: We earlier had reported here that the Van Gogh painting “Poppy Flowers” that was stolen on Friday from the Mahmoud Kahlil Museum, had been recovered by authorities late Saturday night at an airport in Cairo. It appears now that the news report was flawed (Mercury retrograde?), and the painting is, unfortunately, still missing. So, Saturn and Pluto still have some more detective work to do together. But, guys, we all have complete confidence in the two of you still solving this case.
The painting disappeared with “Sun opposite Neptune,” a classic signature of thievery and deception. Neptune rules paintings, and its ray is often prominent in art thefts. Saturn in Libra (the zodiacal sign also ruling fine art) was also exactly square Control Freak Pluto at the time, plus Mercury had just turned retrograde. My intial theory was that someone wanted the art for their own collection.
My fellow astrologer, Dipali Desai, on Twitter Saturday said that there was a good chance the thief (thieves) would be caught because of Saturn-Pluto. Pluto is the Master Spy and Grand Detective and Saturn-Pluto can create transparency. The two are also superb at holding people accountable, so maybe the crime will get solved.
One news caption on this story is reading: “Confusion Grows Over Stolen Van Gogh painting.” It may be more accurate to title it: “Neptunian Confusion Grows Over Stolen Van Gogh Painting, Made Worse by Mercury Retrograde.”

“Sexiness wears thin after a while and beauty fades, but to be married to a man who makes you laugh every day, ah, now that’s a real treat.” Joanne Woodward.
Keep those telescopes and binoculars handy for at least a couple more days. Venus and Mars are still coupling in Conjugal Libra above and Neptune and the Sun are still serving drinks to the rest of the planets, via their waning opposition to each other. Too, with the Moon in Hippie Aquarius now, the activities above could grow to include a measure of “collective free love” and the creation of more “hippie communes.”
Always thirsty Jupiter is certainly pleased that Uranus is back in liquor-friendly Pisces because now he has a special pipeline to the alcohol, since they are both technically still in a conjoined position with each other, which even though it does sound a little kinky, it’s actually a very spiritual alignment, producing a deep, existential awareness of the galactic condition, particularly after downing a few pina coladas.
While all this stuff is happening around us, the steamy sex in the sky, and hopefully a lot of sex and smooching going on down below in your household, too, yours truly is still saving herself exclusively for George Clooney, who continues to be a no-show, despite the fact that the two of us actually share the same brain. This is true.
See, George and I both have our Mental Mercurys at 20 degrees of Taurus, which means that we are both joined at the head. I guess I’ll settle for what I can get, but I do think it would also be fun to be conjoined somewhere else with George. Especially now with all this passionate Venus Mars action going on.
George, George, George. What the heck am I gonna do with you? Huh? Eluding me for so long. Another Saturday night has come and gone, George. Another tragic, wasted night of opportunity for the two of us, has passed us by. All I can say is, it’s a good thing that I at least have a telescope and am able to observe, albeit remotely, some measure of passion among the stars. Vicarious thrills, George. I know, it’s sad. Very sad. But, George, it’s all that I got. But know in my heart, George, that I do long for the real thing with you.
In the News: It appears that Form-Builder Saturn’s entrance into the “Balancing Scales” of Libra is coinciding with the generation of more attempts at diplomacy, an area that Libra naturally rules. So the pendulum seems to be moving the other way now, away from confrontation and violence, to attempts at peace, which is very interesting.
Saturn’s inclusion in the “Cardinal T-Cross,” too, with Transforming Pluto and Expansive Jupiter, can have the sum total affect of redefining the playing field of the scheme of things. Of course, we are referring here to “attempts at peace.” Whether peace will manifest and be long-lasting, is another question. Too, there is still unchecked violence occurring around the world, on a daily basis, but what may be refreshing here is at least there seems to be more of a “consciousness of the need for peace,” which is at least a start in the right direction.
Cardinal energy always equates to the “taking of action,” particularly with a T-Cross occurring in the Cardinal signs now. We had the last U.S. combat troops leave Iraq this week and now there is also word that Israelis and Palestinians have agreed to resume peace talks on September 2nd.
Did think it was really fascinating, too, that the U.S. combat troops exited Iraq with the spacier “Mars-Neptune” aspect (135 degrees) and the applying, hazy “Sun-Neptune” opposition, a similar energy. Mars rules aggression. Neptune, known as the Great Dissolver, can mitigate the aggressive impulses. Neptune, I guess, could equate here with a “surrendering up of the aggressive inklings,” with the simultaneous nebulous notion, or maybe it is best to be viewed, as a hopeful notion, depending on how you look at it, that “everything is also okay.”
Neptune tends to make us wax idealistic and dreamy. It can also be a deceptive and traitorous aspect, however. Traitorous to our own logic and reasoning. With Neptune’s ray, we often get wrapped up in a cozy cocoon with our delusional thoughts, thinking things are fine when in reality they are not. Hopefully, though, things will turn out okay here regarding this matter. Our combat troops in Iraq deserve to be home after doing a valiant job for us over there, even though our reasons for being in Iraq were not always that clear to many of us and it seems that we got mired in there under an umbrella of confusion and erroneous beliefs about weapons of mass destruction. The U.S. entered Iraq just as Rebel Uranus entered Obscure Pisces.
Also, there was a report out on Friday that stated that scientists have concluded that the Universe “may expand forever.” Apparently, though, that prospect is not necessarily a good thing, supposedly, as it is theorized then that the Universe will likely become a “cold, dead cosmic wasteland.”
I’m not quite sure what to make of this newest information other than to pine about the fact that we do reside in a “pretty weird, spooky place” when you really think about it. At the end of the day, though, I figure that somebody, somewhere, has surely got to be looking out for us. At least, we can continue to hope that this is the case.
The Cardinal T-Cross may have also played a role here with the release of this new information about our happy home. Cardinal energy is all about discovery and Jupiter is in New Frontiers Aries, and still conjoined with scientific Uranus, even though Uranus is back into its “inebriated state” in mystical Pisces. Jupiter-Uranus has historically been equated with breakthrough discoveries and advances in science. Uranus is also associated with outer space.

“Love has no desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.” Kahlil Gibran
Maybe the Universe is looking out for us after all.
Granted, we do have Saturn square Pluto exact today. A rather heavyweight aspect that may have us dealing with control issues or navigating around restrictions or limitations.
But, we also have Love Goddess Venus in a tight embrace with Passionate Mars in Gentle Libra. Two sweethearts together in the golden sand, cloaked only in their mile-high dreams, and tenderly serenaded by a warm summer wind. The loving, astrological marker of a classic “summer romance.”

“To hear many religious people talk, one would think God created the torso, head, legs and arms, but the devil slapped on the genitals.” Don Schrader
It’s Day Two of the “Sober” Capricorn Moon. The Moon, however, is finding it increasingly difficult to stay sober due to the pull of the “Pleasure-Seeking” Leo Sun’s exact opposition to “Alcohol-Minded” Neptune hanging around in “Questionable Friends” Aquarius.
Also, “Love Maven” Venus is exactly conjunct “Sex Kingpin” Mars in “Merging” Libra.
Lest anyone forget, we’re also in day 39,355, or so it seems, of the Cardinal T-Cross involving the usual suspects: Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto.
Additionally, the wicked Universe is throwing in the destabilizing communication factor of “Mental” Mercury stationing retrograde in “Logical” Virgo today. Mercury stays retrograde until September 12.
The usual “retrograde protocol” applies here: Do stuff with the “re” prefix. Re-evaluate, re-interpret, re-view, re-stock the liquor shelf. Especially re-check and re-confirm travel plans. If you cannot postpone signing contracts until after the retrograde period, go through them with a fine tooth comb, before adding your official John or Mary Doe to the dotted line.
“We’re still in the throws of the galvanizing Cardinal T-Cross, however, the Universe has now temporarily suspended the functioning of all of our mental faculties to deal with it, with the addition of Retrograde Mercury to the mix.
Meanwhile, the “Rock and Roll” Leo Sun’s opposition to “Delusional” Neptune has us all thinking we could be big rock stars, if only Simon Cowell would have the common decency and courtesy of returning our phone calls and text messages.
All is not lost, though. The Universe is also delivering up for us, just in time for the weekend, the perennially sexy, “Venus-Mars” conjunction. Which means that many of us will be thinking about much more than just ironing the next couple days.”

“At times in my life the only place I have been happy is when I am on stage.” Bob Dylan
Today is one of those days when you may feel a desire and need to grab the spotlight. And, you have full approval and authoritative backing from the Cosmos to do so with the dramatic Moon camped out in theatrical Leo.
The Moon is also getting plenty of emotional support from Royal Ms. Venus in Leo, who is quite the little Diva running around town now, isn’t she? Flitting from one party to another, only taking short reprieves long enough to sign autographs and pose with photographers.
Hey, but, don’t let Venus grab all the attention. You need to get in on the action too! Especially showcase to the world all the talent you’ve got with creative Venus (your power of attraction) still aligned with Lucky Jupiter in discovery Aries. And, assertive Mars trining life-changing Pluto. These are powerful energies that don’t line up together very often and they are perfect for fame and fortune. Who knows where you could end up? I’m serious! You need to put yourself out there now. Believe that you can do it. You can!
“I was always musical – yelling when I was a baby, singing into a brush and singing in the shower.” Susan Boyle.
Event in history on this date:“Beatlemania” opens on Broadway, June 16, 1977, with achievement Saturn in entertainment Leo exactly trine musical Neptune in Sagittarius, a great time to pay homage to the phenomenal legacy of the Beatles.
Pleasure-loving Venus and Mars were also conjunct in artistic Taurus and opposed to innovative Uranus in Scorpio, so appropriate for a Broadway show honoring a group that revolutionized and transformed the music world! The Beatles were all about Uranus (change and originality).
June 16th birthdays: Joyce Carol Oates, Joan Van Ark
Personal Note: I will be taking a hiatus from my daily horoscope, however, I will be doing, on a daily basis, my brand new “Cosmic Word of the Day” which will include a mini-horoscope and maybe a few other things. I’m very excited about developing this new blog. Hope you’ll join me each day for that.
I am also very excited to announce that I have started working on an astrology book and hope to have it finished in the fall, that is why I no longer have time for the daily horoscope. I have Jupiter and Uranus transiting my Aries Ascendant now. Jupiter rules writing, Uranus rules astrology and the first house (Ascendant) signifies new beginnings, so hopefully my book will come together as planned. I’ll keep you posted on my progress.
Enjoy your day! Shine brightly today. Remember, you’re a star!
