COSMIC WORK:

“Patience and wisdom walk hand in hand, like two one-armed lovers.” Jarod Kintz

This may be a day when patience and perseverance pay off handsomely for us as we have assertive Mars conjunct exacting Saturn. Generally a time when it is suggested that we proceed at a slower pace and employ thoroughness and focus to all of our affairs.

Sometimes with this aspect we do meet up with unexpected delays or restrictions, which can, of course, test our patience. Unless we perhaps shift our perspective and allow ourselves to view any roadblocks as ultimately working in our best interests, for whatever reason, as Saturn is a great teacher. Also, our actions may provoke more scrutiny from others now.

Too, this is probably not the time to challenge authority figures or to buck the status quo, unless we have carefully done our due diligence and feel confident defending our position.

Sweet Venus is also opposing intense Pluto, an influence that tends to heighten our emotional expression. Occasionally, relationship issues that have been submerged or hidden will rise to the surface now, as Pluto governs the subconscious realm. This can be an appropriate time to “clear the air,” so to speak, due to the purging or cathartic nature of Pluto.

On the shadow side, however, we will want to avoid power struggles or manipulative moves as we find ourselves journeying through more complex emotional terrain. Pluto’s activated ray can sometimes tilt us in a more controlling direction, if we do not stay mindful of our behavior. Psychologists say that we often seek external control over others when we feel a lack of power within ourselves. “He who has great power should use it lightly.” Seneca

The Moon goes void of course in sympathetic Cancer at 4:21 am, entering colorful Leo at 2:05 pm EDT. Luna’s shift into Leo helps to elevate and emancipate our spirits and a conjunction with intellectual Mercury (11:24 pm EDT) endows us with a plethora of creative ideas.

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.

Patricia Thompson’s Astrology May 23, 2010: Happy Couple

“Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.”  Thomas Merton

I do believe a happy, fulfilled life is largely a matter of finding the right balance in the things that we do. Don’t you agree? It takes a lot of time, though, to discover that balance.

I think what often helps out in expediting things here is to have something at the center of our lives that is very meaningful, as that can serve to both anchor and inspire us, even when the waters get choppy and the Scorpio sharks are closing in around us.

Another thing that can help to steady us is having a nifty crystal ball nearby. Let me quickly retrieve mine from the broom closet.  I put it there yesterday while straightening up under the tidy Virgo Moon.  Took a piece of my own advice for a change.

Madame Patrice’s fortune-telling revealed here now for Sunday, May 23, 2010:

“Today we come face to face with Saturn – boy oh boy, I can hardly wait – and get to preview our limitations, which you know the old guy is dying to show us.

Did you know that Saturn has chronicled and saved every last one of our limitations since the time of our birth, and beyond?  This is true.  That means that each of us could be here literally for eons with taskmaster Saturn, depending on how thick his documented limitation file is on us.

I also would like to know, where the heck Neptune is, that Great Dissolver, when you really need him?  He could be of such practical assistance to us today in dissolving some of the dirty goods that Saturn has on us.

Neptune, as you may know, has those dreamy, mystical powers, not to mention a pipeline to the Divine to wash away our sins and transgressions. But, as usual, he pulls his famous disappearing act and is nowhere to be found.

Neptune has, however, sent his underling Jupiter to intervene on his behalf.

So, while Saturn would like us to wallow endlessly in our litany of self-imposed limitations today, the wrinkled life force is going to have to cut it short and nip it. For  Jupiter is on his way to rescue us with a bevy of our hopes and wishes and cherry cheesecake to boot.

Yes, kind folks, Saturn and Jupiter are sitting opposite each other at the cosmic dinner table today, lovingly glaring at one another.  They are the honored guests in each of our houses and we need to treat each of them courteously and with respect.  We don’t want any etiquette faux pas taking place if we can help it. That would be utterly tragic.

Of course, Saturn is wanting us to be thrifty and parsimonious and serve him up a no-frills, “less is more” meal comprised only of the basics needed for his daily survival.

Jupiter, on the other hand, is hoping to persuade us to present him with a full, caloric-rich, nine-course meal.

What we need to do here, to keep both of these dinner guests happy, is somehow fashion a menu that will give each of them some of what they want. That way, we will hopefully make both of them satisfied enough so they don’t swear and cuss or throw food at each other at the dinner table.

One other issue today.

We also have the matter of Venus opposing Pluto to immediately deal with. They also are wanting a spot at the dinner table.

Venus is such a lovable, shopaholic creature.  She perennially justs wants to mingle and throw cool house parties, especially now that she is in the Moon’s warm, nesting sign of Cancer.

Of course, control freak Pluto hates to see Venus having a good time unless it’s centered around him.

So, what to do. Should we let this happy couple come join us today at the dinner table? Are we up to dealing with their drama? The Moon is in social, diplomatic Libra, making us feel politely obligated, don’t you think?
