COSMIC WATCH:

“Eventually you can get into the nuts and bolts of reality: nurturing, caring, and getting along.” Jody Watley

Love Goddess Venus enters self-protective, security-conscious, “Cancer the Crab,” the sign of home and family today. She will stay in Cancer until July 28th. Venus in Cancer inspires our deeper nurturing and caring impulses, and also heightens our desire for nesting and privacy.

Venus is also trine idealistic Neptune, in tender-hearted Pisces, making us extra forgiving, as well as more “fantasy-prone” in romance. This is a highly creative aspect that is excellent for any activity that calls for the full employment of our imagination. Many artists, musicians, writers, film-makers, and dancers will often have Venus-Neptune aspects prominent in their horoscopes, including the late Hans Christian Andersen, the Danish “fairy tale writer,” famous for his children’s stories.  Too, Venus trine Neptune is a classic aspect of “fairy tale romance,” so there’s a nice, synchronistic tie-in here.

We addtionally have intellectual Mercury in dramatic Leo making a fortuitous trine with brilliant Uranus in adventurous Aries. Uranus governs genius and intuition, so it’s possible that today will provide fertile ground for a plethora of “aha moments” to occur.

The Moon will also be in theatrical, glamorous Leo all day, favorable for parades and other “Fun Fourth” celebrations. Later tonight, she will shift into immaculate, attentive Virgo (9:16 pm EDT) to tidy everything up.

Famous people with Venus in Cancer: Meryl Streep, Clint Eastwood, Cameron Diaz, Lena Horne, Martin Sheen.

Happy Fourth of July!

“The telephone is a good way to talk to people without having to offer them a drink.” Fran Lebowitz


COSMIC WEATHER:

It’s Day Two of the “wanting-to-be-chatty” Moon in Gemini.

Instead, we’re going more than a little batty.

This time the culprit is the Sun, instead of black holes or clouds.

The Coronal Mass Ejections from the Sun are striking the Earth’s electro-magnetic field and slowly, but surely, they’re wiping out all the telephone lines on the planet.

We keep trying to call our friends to chat, our therapists to schedule “talk therapy,” but all we get is:

‘All circuits are busy now.  Please hang up and dial your call later. After the Cardinal-T Cross has passed. Goodbye!’

What makes it even more frustrating: It’s the one day that George Clooney was planning on giving us a call!

In the News:

According to a new USA Today/Gallop poll released Wednesday, President Barack Obama’s approval ratings have reportedly hit all time lows and have dropped across the board.

In astrology, Venus governs our “power of attraction,” so it would be pivotal here. A look at President Obama’s horoscope shows that his natal Venus is at 1 degree of Cancer.  That means his Venus is being exactly hounded (squared) now by Saturn, at 1 degree of Libra. Saturn, the restrictive principal, is associated with separations and losses.  When Saturn is aligned with Venus, the love planet, we often feel “cut off from others” and it is correspondingly harder for others to relate to us.

If it’s any consolation, President, we still like you. However, you may want to think about changing your cologne.

Also on Wednesday, a federal judge overturned California’s “same-sex marriage ban” in a landmark case that will likely end up in the Supreme Court to decide if gays have a right to marry in the U.S.  With Energizer Mars and Achievement Saturn now newly-installed in marital Libra, and conjunct for the first time since 1982, and also both part of the game-changing Cardinal T-Cross, it is not surprising that this matter has been overturned. Saturn in Libra is also still in a tight opposition to Uranus in pioneering Aries (part of the cross), with Uranus ruling equality and gay rights issues.  Libra governs the courts and justice, in addition to marriage.

Billionaire investor, Warren Buffett, announced Wednesday the names of 40 of America’s wealthiest families and individuals who have signed on to the “Giving Pledge,” a charitable group that seeks to get billionaires to pledge to donate the bulk of their wealth to charitable causes. I thought this story really tied in with the current “Jupiter square Pluto” aspect.  Jupiter rules abundance and when aligned with Pluto, it can mean abundance on a mass scale. Jupiter-Pluto is a classic signature of “mega-money.”

Enjoy your Thursday!

Can you hear me now?  How about now?

Patricia Thompson’s Astrology May 25, 2010: Vampire Energy

“Everybody has the ability to be manipulative, to be hateful and deceitful.” Neil LaBute

The Moon slipped stealthily into dark Scorpio last night. Perhaps you felt it in the guise of spooky nightmares about politicians?

Anyway, now thanks to this scary Scorpio Moon energy and also Father Sun sheepishly quinqunx to vampirish Pluto, Scorpio’s ruler, the scene is set for all of us to have a fairly typical day.

Uneventful to the extent that we cheerfully try our best to willfully manipulate and push around anyone and anything that interferes with the pursuit of our own selfish, personal agendas.

We are bravely ready and willing to go anywhere, even out to lunch with Sarah Palin, to provoke the usual power and control issues, thereby creating all manner of delightful chaos.

The two biggest concerns for the day previewing in my leaking crystal ball:

1) The Scorpio Moon’s x-rated sextile to Pluto in Capricorn (10:45 am EDT).  This could give us some measure of deep emotional insight into ourselves, which could eventually end up with our wanting to expose scintillating details of our incredibly boring sex lives (Scorpio) to anyone who will listen.

This same influence may also put us in touch with deceased (Scorpio) government officials (Capricorn) who are wanting to seek re-election to public office by running “spirited campaigns.”

2) The Moon’s amorous and harmonious trine to familial Venus in Cancer (2:11 pm EDT) may also turn our attention to directly wanting to take on and experience the immediate issue of the propagation of the species (Cancer) when we should instead be focusing on doing our 9 to 5 jobs. I’m deeply worried that this very social, loving influence could especially add to the already high absentee rate on Capitol Hill.

With that said, enjoy your terrific Tuesday. May the obsessively merry “Pluto force” be with you to brighten your day with pleasurable images of ghosts and goblins and all things deliciously macabre.

Patricia Thompson’s Astrology May 24, 2010: Family Memories

“Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family.  Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.” Jane Howard

I grew up watching “Leave It To Beaver” and idealizing the Cleaver’s and their “perfect family home life.”  While my childhood was a far cry from the Cleaver’s, I do remember having playmates whose homes I would periodically visit and their lives seemed to me to be perfect comparisons to this fictionalized TV family.  I was always rather envious.

The energy that we have around us now, with relationship Venus in Cancer opposite Pluto in Capricorn, fits like a glove for examining and revisiting our familial roots, especially perhaps the early relationship that we had with our parents. This is because Cancer represents mother and the home and family, while Capricorn rules authority figures and traditionally denotes father.

Pluto also symbolizes the subconscious and those emotions and feelings that we have buried deep inside ourselves. The opposition aspect to Venus  is affording us a “full opportunity for awareness” into some of our relationship issues from our past, especially those of a more familial (Cancer) nature.

It may also be an ideal time for connecting with the memories of our family members who have transitioned to the other side, as Pluto rules death and rebirth. Some may even want to do some channeling into the spirit world to formally reconnect now.

I also have another take about the significance of this same Venus-Pluto energy now. Venus rules physical beauty and the Moon today is in Venus-ruled Libra, heightening our aesthetic sensibilities.

I think that it may be a cool day to “get real” (Pluto) about how we feel about ourselves, in terms of our physical beauty. We may want to, especially us ladies, look in the mirror and take a good look at the face before us.  Do we like what we see reflecting back to us?

I know it’s probably shallow, but I like myself better and feel better about myself when I’m wearing make-up, a form of Neptunian disguise.  Today may be a good day to experiment with make-up and maybe come up with a whole new look for ourselves, as Pluto can bring about transformation.

Switching now to the matter of the transiting Jupiter opposite Saturn, as I’ve got to run and I know you do, too. While that aspect was exact yesterday, it is still hovering around us for several days – and IT’S BIG.

I have been doing further meditation on this influence and I really think that it is very good that we have this energy now to tap into, as  Saturn is very grounding.  It’s a perfect antidote to erratic Uranus getting ready to enter fireball Aries.

With Jupiter-Saturn now, we are receiving crystal clear insight into how we need to practically proceed further with our dreams (Jupiter).  We also are suddenly discovering things (dreams) that no longer work for us, for one reason or the other, and that discovery can be very liberating for us, as we know now where to put our energies.

Too, some of the dreams that we may need to walk away from now, we may be able to revisit and rekindle them later.  So, we should not despair.  But, we should know clearly now what is the best road for us to take at the present moment due to this sobering, but enlightening Jupiter-Saturn influence.

Regarding the collective, I also believe this same Jupiter-Saturn aspect is going to end up somehow being very good for understanding fully the ramifications of the Gulf oil leak (Jupiter in Pisces) and how to more effectively deal with it in the future, as far as crafting solutions (Saturn) to this crisis.

Also, I think innovative Uranus at the end of Pisces (sea, oil) is going to be of further help here in achieving this end.  Let’s hope so, anyway.  It’s a very dire, tragic situation.

Enjoy your Monday. Seal the day with a warm memory from your past.

“It’s a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.” Albert Einstein

The Sun has moved out of sedentary Taurus and into the naturally curious and chatty sign of Gemini. Gemini natives are restless with eclectic interests. They are usually walking encyclopedias due to their inveterate fact-gathering. They also equally love to share the information that they have compiled.

This Gemini energy inclines us to be more inquisitive now in our daily lives.  It’s also a good time for us to take up new studies, although after that Einstein quote, perhaps we’re better off studying on our own versus anything formal.

The Moon in studious Virgo supports the Gemini Sun today insofar as both are ruled by the planet Mercury, which governs our reasoning ability, and both like to figure things out.  However, Virgo is much more thorough and detailed, while Gemini is more diffuse.

Nevertheless today is an excellent day for any projects or tasks that call for a good measure of analysis. We are also more introspective with the Virgo Moon.

Venus in sensitive Cancer turns the volume up on our emotional needs in relationships.

In the News…

With Jupiter and Uranus in idealistic Pisces continuing their opposition to austere Saturn in Virgo, the sign of labor, there were labor strikes in Greece and Spain Thursday over their respective governments belt-tightening (Saturn) measures.

Jupiter expands whatever it is connected with and conjoined now with rebel Uranus we see this configuration manifesting as the urge for revolt (depicted by Uranus) resulting in some measure of chaos and anarchy.  Jupiter and Uranus fueled by escapist Pisces want to defiantly break free but restrictive Saturn is like a noose around their neck and will not budge. No-frills Saturn is perennially about “doing more with less” and adhering to a budget. This is not sitting well with much of the populace.

Growth (Jupiter-Uranus) is possible now but it has to be based on sound principles and drawing from previous tried and true experience (Saturn).  It is much riskier going out and starting something new from scratch now and forget about starting anything lavish, without the necessary funds. Saturn won’t let you get away with it. Pluto won’t either!

We have also seen the financial markets tanking due in large part to debt-fears and worry (Saturn).

Remember a couple days ago in my horoscope when I wrote about the “weird” Sun square Neptune influence and that we had to be careful because we could get hoodwinked, especially financially.  I also discussed how that influence is often “ego-denying” and also how things sometime just “dissolve” and pass out of our lives under that configuration?

Unfortunately, that is exactly when we had that Paris art theft which robbed the world of five great paintings worth hundreds of millions of dollars, including works by Picasso and Matisse.  Neptune rules art and paintings and the challenging square that day from the acquisition-oriented Taurus Sun (ruling money and possessions) perhaps cosmically fueled this greedy act by the perpetrators. Neptune rules con men and “get rich quick schemes” and even though that day I wrote to steer clear of trying to make a fast buck, these criminal minds did exactly that.

I do believe, however, that the Universe has a way of balancing the karmic scales, so whoever did this will eventually have to pay, one way or the other, but in the meantime, it is very sad that these  (Neptune) paintings have suddenly “dissolved” from world view. That is often how Neptune energy operates, we can’t understand why certain things have to “pass away.”  John F. Kennedy was assassinated under a strong Neptune influence (Saturn square Neptune).

Speaking of “world view” also with Sun square Neptune this week the Pakistani government blocked YouTube and Facebook citing “growing sacrilegious” content.  Neptune rules imagery and photos and also gives a preoccupation with spiritual matters.  Neptune is presently in the sign of Aquarius which rules the internet. Anyway, thought it was very interesting that with the Sun-Neptune, internet images were “banned” or suddenly snatched away again (Neptune’s dissolving ray) as well, at the same time as the paintings.

Wrapping it up here (it’s often hard for me to do with Jupiter in Gemini), yesterday we had the Sun sextile Uranus influence.  If you recall in yesterday’s blog, I mentioned that it was cool energy and very innovative.  Uranus rules genius and invention, as well as scientific breakthroughs.  Well, it was announced Thursday that the world’s first synthetic life form has been built. Definitely an Uranian announcement.  Also, must give some credit here to Mercury (governing news and communication) trine Pluto, as Pluto rules scientific research governing life and death areas.  Mercury-Pluto perennially delivers up news about historic firsts and it came through again for us here.

Enjoy your Friday! Give someone a warm hug with Venus in Cancer.
