Cosmic Weather:

“I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.” – Herman Hesse, Siddhartha

Venus in Aquarius sextile Jupiter in Aries (4:08 am) – This more pleasant, feel-good aspect – often linked with the bestowal or arrival of love, generosity, and kindness – suggests that some good fortune or positive karma may be in the cards for us today! Wouldn’t that be nice?

Too, while it’s not necessarily a huge aspect, it can be a time when we feel a bit more optimistic or hopeful. Especially when we are perhaps gathered with friends or loved ones, or simply doing things that we enjoy. It’s often a great time to have a party. Or to mingle with new people from diverse backgrounds – especially now with Venus in eclectic Aquarius.

Also, it could be that this potentially nice cosmic payback is in humble recognition for some of the accumulated good that we have somehow managed to generate in the world to date – despite, sometimes, the onerous presence of many overriding, contradictory, inherent behavioral tendencies, within our delicate being, that often causes us to seemingly screw up much of what we touch. Psychiatrists call these tendencies the “reverse Midas Touch” or the “Midas-less Touch.” Too, if you were watching C-SPAN yesterday you maybe witnessed Kevin McCarthy displaying a few symptoms, of this condition – on the House floor – after the third vote was counted,

Too, it is really fascinating, astrologically – the correlation – that we now have no Speaker of the House at a time when ‘speaker’ Mercury in Capricorn – the sign which rules government – is also retrograde. Along with mover or shaker Mars retrograde, which is essentially at a standstill now, in the heavens, in Mercury-ruled Gemini – ahead of his direct station on January 12. Maybe I’m making too much of all of this. But it just strikes me as hugely symbolic for the moment. Too, feel free to weigh in here, if you like.

Anyway, reportedly nothing can get done now – no sausage can be made, so to speak – in the People’s House – until a new speaker is selected.

Historically, the speaker vote has not gone past a first ballot since 1923 – when lawmakers needed nine ballots to pick a leader.

All times EST

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

Cosmic Weather:

“Science, my lad, is made up of mistakes, but they are mistakes which it is useful to make because they lead little by little to the truth.” Jules Verne

Mercury in Aries Sextile Saturn in Aquarius (11:09 am) – Following yesterday’s very spacey Mars square Neptune aspect, today is much better for attempting to pin the dashing tail on the ole’ proverbial donkey. Mercury-Saturn lends more precision and practicality to our thinking. Problem-solving could be less of a struggle.

Venus in Aries Sextiles Jupiter in Aquarius (2:53 pm) – Romance is in the air! Lady Luck may also be trying to track us down so we might want to consider leaving a long paper trail. This is a lovely influence for smoothing out any relationship bumps, for socializing, being playful. Promotes warm-heartedness and generosity.

Waning Luna also shifted into fiery Aries, early this morning (2:11 am), getting into position for tomorrow’s pioneering New Moon adventure in the sign of the Ram.

Numerologically, April 10, 2021, is very dynamic! A double “one” day. Good for taking charge, showing leadership, displaying confidence.

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On April 10, 2019, the first-ever photo of a black hole was announced, taken by The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration in 2017 in galaxy M87, 6.5 billion times the mass of earth, 55 million light-years away.

Astrologically, that day, newsmaker Mercury (in charge of corporate press releases) was deposited in infinity-seeking Pisces (the sign that also rules photography) and exactly sextile to enigmatic Pluto (aka Darth Vader) in Capricorn. Mercury-Pluto often coincides with eye-popping, riveting headlines. By the way, that very same day, four tiny sweat bees were removed alive from a woman’s eye (not making this up!) in the world’s first operation of its kind at Fooyin University Hospital, Taiwan. (From onthisday.com)

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

Astrology July 9, 2011: Venus Sextiles Jupiter, Uranus Goes Retrograde

COSMIC WATCH:

“The greatest pleasure of life is love.” Euripedes

After having a rather rough go, the last few days, affectionate Venus in nurturing Cancer finally catches a lucky break today with her warm sextile to abundant Jupiter in earthly pleasures Taurus. Venus-Jupiter is often synonymous with “luck in love.” So, hopefully, this royal duo will be able to wave their magical wand for us and graciously shower us with a bonanza of romance. Or grant whatever is our heart’s fondest desire.

This aspect is also grand for entertaining and parties, with Venus also ruling our social life and Jupiter liking to do things on a lavish scale. Jupiter actually rules and symbolizes matters of royalty, and we have William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, reportedly partying with the glamorous “Hollywood Jet Set,” this weekend, in LA. This is Kate Middleton’s first visit to the States. Wouldn’t you just love to be a “fly on the wall” at one of the planned celebrations?

The Moon is also in passionate Scorpio today, magnifying our desires and ramping up our ability to seize upon and claim the rich, intrinsic pleasures of the moment.

Of course, life is never simple and uncomplicated. We also have “wild child” Uranus, the planet of personal freedom and rebellion, stationing retrograde today in self-willed Aries. Whenever a planet changes direction, it tends to call more attention to itself (Uranus stays retrograde until December 9th). Although, we also have intellectual Mercury in theatrical Leo forming a stabilizing sextile to disciplined, conforming Saturn in diplomatic Libra today. This suggests to me that we do have the mental ability to “check” or “censor” our performances (Leo), if need be. Mercury sextile Saturn is excellent for both focused concentration and serious discussions.

Too, it may be an especially good day for talking about “affairs of the heart” (perhaps popping the big question?) with Mercury in romantic Leo and Saturn in matrimonial Libra. Too, lest we forget, we also have the indulgent, and very endearing, Venus-Jupiter sextile.

In the News: Sadly, I learned, this morning, that former first lady, Betty Ford, passed away, late yesterday, at the age of 93. I grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan and for many, many years, Betty’s husband Gerald, our late president, served as our district’s congressman. My late mother also worked at Herpolsheimer’s department store with Betty Ford in Grand Rapids, in the 1940s, where Betty was employed as a model.

Tragically, this week in Grand Rapids, there was also a mass shooting that made world headlines. Seven people were killed. The shootings occurred at locations near where I have relatives living. My brother was also at a memorial last night for the shooting victims when all of a sudden, the event also turned into a memorial for Betty Ford, when it was learned that she had passed.

We had Venus opposite Pluto yesterday, an aspect that, historically, has coincided with the passing away (Pluto rules death) of prominent females (Venus rules women) in the collective. Pluto is also in Capricorn, the sign of government officials. Venus in caring Cancer also denotes Betty’s humanistic legacy with respect to establishing the Betty Ford Center in California for treatment of drug and alcohol addiction. Betty helped to take away the shame of addiction by boldly coming forward and publicly announcing that she had substance abuse problems at a time when it was unheard of for public officials to do so. Betty Ford was a pioneering Aries Sun, with her Moon in compassionate Pisces.

“My makeup wasn’t smeared, I wasn’t disheveled, I behaved politely, and I never finished off a bottle, so how could I be alcoholic?” Betty Ford.

Patrice Astrology March 10, 2011: “Abundant Love” Venus sextile Jupiter

COSMIC WEATHER:

“You don’t have to go looking for love when it’s where you come from.” Werner Erhard

Love goddess Venus, ruler of our “power of attraction,” forms a harmonious sextile to fortuitous Jupiter. This is a classic astrological marker of “abundant love.” This is because Jupiter expands whatever it touches and aligned with Venus, the signifier of love and pleasure, our hearts are given creative license to joyously bloom. We are more receptive to giving and receiving love, and more inclined to want to engage in whatever is pleasurable (Venus). The Venus-ruled Taurus Moon also serves to richly augment Cupid’s sweetheart desires.

Patricia Thompson’s Horoscope April 17-18, 2010: Mustang Sally

The pace quickens as the Moon leaves laid back Taurus for “Can we talk?” Gemini (at 2:08 am EDT Saturday). The air is filled with a cacophony of voices parlaying scintillating pieces of information, misinformation. Mercury also turns retrograde in Taurus (at 12:06 am EDT Sunday). Best to defer signing important contracts until May 11th. (That is when Mercury resumes direct motion again).

Meanwhile, a pleasant sextile aspect from relationship Venus to expansive Jupiter bodes well for romance and our power of attraction.

Memorable event in history on this date:

The “Ford Mustang” is formally introduced on April 17, 1964 with a base price of $2368.   Lucky Jupiter just entered Taurus, the sign of possessions, and was exactly sextile to stabilizing Saturn in Pisces – a perfect time to debut a product for long-term success.  Also, Mars was strong at home in Aries, giving us a love of sports cars!

Peace and love, everyone!  Enjoy your weekend!

Saturn-Uranus 2010: New Same-Sex Hospital Rules

16 Friday Apr 2010

President Obama ordered new rules Thursday allowing for “same sex hospital visits.”  The new regulations give gays and lesbians the right to visit their partners in the hospital and have input into their care.  This marriage benefit has been something that has not always been extended to gay couples.

“Gay and lesbian Americans…are often barred from the bedsides of the partners with whom they may have spent decades of their lives-unable to be there for the person they love, and unable to act as a legal surrogate if their partner is incapacitated,” Mr. Obama said in his order according to the online Wall Street Journal.

These new rules come on the heels of Saturn’s retrograde back into the sign of Virgo (Virgo rules health) and its opposition to change-agent Uranus in Pisces (Pisces rules hospitals).  Saturn pertains to rules and established protocol while oppositions bring about “turning points.” Uranus, as ruler of the expanded, liberated collective Aquarius, would be representative of gays and lesbians here.

Rebel Uranus characteristically attempts to overturn the structure that Saturn has put into place, especially when that structure has the affect of “stifling or repressing” individual self-expression. In this instance, Uranus in Pisces served as a catalyst for changing the rules (Saturn) that hospitals (Pisces) have traditionally followed, regarding the dissemination of health care services (Virgo).  Uranus in Pisces triggered the need for new policy with a wider application among a diverse population group. The present Saturn opposition to Uranus formally “finalized” this policy change.

Additionally supportive for the implementation of these new rules: Venus, which rules love relationships, and Mercury, which governs thinking, are conjoined now in practical, workable Taurus. Both planets are also harmoniously sextile to expansive Jupiter in Pisces, the sign of hospitals. Venus aligned with Jupiter is traditionally regarded as one of the “luckiest aspects” in astrology, bringing about favorable conditions and circumstances.  So, on the surface, this would seem to be an especially good time (Jupiter) to usher in new guidelines (Mercury) pertaining to “intimate couples” (Venus). Jupiter’s ray is such that it tends to have a broadening or growth affect on the areas or activities that are ruled by the sign that it is passing through.  Jupiter intrinsically represents and fosters new growth opportunities and generally coincides with a more optimistic outlook.
