COSMIC WATCH:

“Love is the magician that pulls man out of his own hat.” Ben Hecht

The planet Venus, ruler of love and money, shifts into playful Gemini today (10:24 am EDT) vacating possessive Taurus. This may facilitate more movement and flexibility in our relationships and perhaps inspire more ingenuity with respect to our money-making ability. Venus in Gemini is more intellectual than emotional in its approach, and with its placement here, in the communication sign, there can be a real love of words and a deep affection for conversation and writing. Venus in Gemini also requires that we have a strong mental bond with someone before we give our tender heart away.  There is also more of a tendency to flirt or tease with this placement. Venus will stay in Gemini until July 4th which may be a romantic boon for natives of this sign.

Too, wherever Venus is transiting by house (area of life) in our personal horoscopes now is where we may see an easing of conditions and opportunity for forming positive new relationships, especially once Saturn goes direct in partnership Libra on June 12th. Venus rules our “power of attraction.” (BTW, yours truly has her lovable Venus in Gemini. I consider it to be one of my saving graces.)

Of course, very rarely is anything in the cosmos ever simple to figure out. The very same day that we have love maven Venus entering breezy Gemini, we also have assertive Mars in stubborn Taurus forming a more challenging 135-degree link (sesquiquadrate) to controlling Pluto in career Capricorn.  Always with Mars-Pluto under stress, there is a risk that the hidden despot in us may try to surface (this is an aspect linked to regime changes). Accordingly, we may want to monitor ourselves more closely and be willing to rein ourselves in, at a moment’s notice, when we see that our proposals and plans for the future etc., are not going over too well and enemy troops are circling all around us. 🙂

Too, there is also the chance that we can encounter this type of controlling, forceful, or inflexible behavior through others now (maybe the boss with Pluto in authoritative Capricorn). The Moon, too, is in workaholic Virgo today (until 6:32 pm EDT).

Mars-Pluto can additionally force us to deal with broken situations in need of immediate repair. Pluto denotes destruction or decay followed by hopeful rebirth or transformation. A good day perhaps for recycling and purging. We may also want to be more vigilant with money and possession matters, and try to minimize our risk or exposure there, as Mars in dollar sign Taurus linked with Pluto potentially has financial implications.Too, we do not want to be manipulative (Pluto) now with our resources, as that could backfire on us.

The Moon enters diplomatic Libra this evening (6:32 pm EDT) and also trines lady Venus herself (7:17 pm EDT), the ruler of Libra, which may help to negate or subdue any of the coarser, testosterone-laden Mars-Pluto energy still permeating the ether. Libra, the sign of “the other,” tends to make us more social and cooperative with each other. It is the sign of peace. John Lennon was a Libra. Need I say more?

In the News: With expansive Jupiter in acquisition-minded Taurus exactly sextile to Neptune in Pisces yesterday, Exxon announced that it has made a major oil discovery in the Gulf of Mexico. Neptune rules oil. Chiron also stationed retrograde in Pisces yesterday, the sign that Neptune rules. BTW, the very day Chiron first entered Pisces in the spring of 2010, we had the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

“We humans are full of unpredictable emotions that logic alone cannot solve.” James T. Kirk

Some major planetary energies are aligned above us today.

Romantic Venus, at the tale end of Gemini, forms a square to rebel Uranus in Pisces. We need to be more mindful of how we handle our relationships, as unstable and impulsive emotional elements are more at play here. Intimacy may seem less important to us than pursuing our personal freedom. Unconventional relationships also hold more appeal for us now.

The illuminating Sun in Taurus squares foggy Neptune in Aquarius.  Always with Neptune, it is harder for us to see clearly regarding the true nature of things. Everything seems to be wrapped in a veil of illusion. We are also more vulnerable to trickery and someone pulling the wool over our eyes. With this configuration involving the money and possession sign of Taurus, we need to be more careful with our resources today and steer clear away from any “get rich quick schemes.”

Additionally, with Sun-Neptune energy, there is often some measure of  “ego-denying experiences” that we must learn to deal with and confront. Also, some “dissolving” or “passing away” of certain elements of our reality may be taking place now.

To make the day even more intriguing, we have Winged Messenger Mercury in Taurus exactly trine to probing Pluto in Capricorn. Normally with Mercury-Pluto we are privy to finding out some BIG SECRETS, solving colossal riddles, and ferreting out troublemakers from their hiding places. The weird thing is, we also have the murky Sun-Neptune lurking around, so our dilemma is, how do we know whether what we are hearing today is really the truth, and nothing but the whole truth, so help me God? I’m not sure that we do have total clarity here.  Probably what we need to do is just wade along on a case by case basis and see what applies for specific situations.

On top of all of this planetary overload, we also have the Moon in theatrical Leo to deal with.  Of course, she is reacting strongly and dramatically to everything that is going on around her particularly any affronts to her personal power. So today, ought to be somewhat of a doozy. Be prepared to thrust into warp speed at any moment.

What I am really liking about the energy of today is that it is DIFFERENT. Even though though there is some measure of weirdness going on around us now with Neptune, we are also more mentally probing with Mercury Pluto.  Neptune can also make us very imaginative, so this influence is powerful for any work projects in the creative arts area.  Neptune specifically rules dance, photography, film-making, music, poetry, and painting. Venus Uranus also helps us to see our connections to others, as well as our relationship needs, in a new light, and I think that is also a bit of fresh air here.

On a final note, with the continuing drama unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico, I am wondering if the Sun-Neptune energy today may bring new developments on that front, as Neptune rules both the sea and oil. The concern now is that the oil may soon be moving from wind currents to the Keys and up the East Coast to the Carolinas and Virginia.  Let’s pray that will not be the case.

Enjoy your Wednesday.  Let me know if it ends up being one for the record books!

Patricia Thompson’s Astrology May 14, 2010: Equal Rights Military

“First learn the meaning of what you say, and then speak.” Epictetus.

Can you imagine, if each of us abided by that simple philosophy, how much quieter our world would be, in terms of sheer stillness? Especially on a day when the Moon enters Gemini, the “communication sign?”

Anyway, some food for thought today as the Moon switches from determined Taurus to breezy, noisy Gemini (9:18 am EDT). With the Moon here, we are much more restless and curious and want to be on the go.

We are also, theoretically, more talented at multi-tasking now with the duality of The Twins. However, with both mental Mercury and the Sun still weighed down in focused Taurus, this may not quite be the case today.

Still, a good day for errand-running, attending to emails, correspondence, reading, short trips.

And good for speaking, with some qualifications as noted above.

Event in history on this date:

On May 14, 1973, (Frontiero v. Richardson) the U.S. Supreme Court approved equal rights to females in the military. Included here, the Court decided that benefits given by the U.S. Military could not be given out differently because of gender.

Check out the cool cosmic energy backdrop for the Court’s decision then:

1) Expansive Jupiter was traveling through Aquarius, the futuristic sign of the collective, that is concerned with equality for all. Usually, wherever Jupiter is we have increased opportunities for the affairs ruled by the sign it is passing through, so hence, more chance for equal rights.

2) Saturn, Keeper of the Status Quo, was in intellectual Gemini and exactly harmoniously trine to liberating Uranus in Libra, the sign of the courts.  Uranus in Libra helped to broaden out the former way of thinking (Saturn) here and put the issue of equality on the table.  (Uranus rules Aquarius.)

3) Transformational Pluto had just entered court-ruling Libra. On the day of the decision, transiting Venus in Gemini was also favorably trine to Pluto. Venus depicts females. So, we correspondingly had a sweeping ruling involving women by the Court. Pluto is also synonymous with historic firsts.

4) Finally, feminine Venus was also square masculine Mars in Pisces, so we had the “gender issue” and “battle of the sexes” symbolically playing out here. Mars also rules the military. Squares meanwhile force actions.

Too, Mars in compassionate Pisces is more of a “spiritual warrior” placement. It is more concerned with fighting for civil rights when it is in this sign, as idealistic Pisces represents disenfranchised groups, or persons who are suffering. Mars therefore was temporarily more aligned with the cause of the female underdog passing through Pisces than it might normally be.

Enjoy your Friday! Remember, “know” the meaning of what you say, before you speak it.
