Cosmic Weather:

“What some call rebellion, others call survival.” Shirley Fessel

Luna wraps up her stay in self-assertive Aries today – also accentuating yesterday’s late-night Venus-Pluto square, in the process. The Moon squares Pluto (7:12 am) and conjuncts Venus (8:06 am). Correspondingly, control issues, power grabs, exerting undue pressure on matters are all in the overall (cheery) mix of (egregious) behavioral possibilities (but only if we decide to go down those prickly paths!). Luna also goes void after the Venus conjunction, until she enters bullish Taurus, early this afternoon (1:44 pm).

Since Venus rules Taurus, we may also see some telltale remnants of the Venus-Pluto energy permeating the day. Included in this might be our deep, intense passions rising to the surface. The Waxing Taurus Moon also protectively steers us toward a focus on security or material issues. Symbolically, Luna in Taurus represents the builder or the consolidator; likewise, we are seeking tangible, concrete results from our efforts now.

“Create with the heart; build with the mind.” Criss Jami

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On April 12, 1861, Fort Sumter in South Carolina is attacked by the Confederacy, beginning the American Civil War.

Astrologically, that day, warrior Mars in Gemini was separating from a square to Karma Lord Saturn Rx in corrective Virgo and applying to a conjunction with rebel Uranus. Challenging Mars-Saturn aspects often coincide with a sudden expression of built-up or repressed desires, frustrations, doubts, or fears that may have been festering for a while. Mars conjunct Uranus is also perhaps the most potentially volatile of all planetary aspects. It is, in many cases, the hallmark of insurrections. It’s associated with (on the shadow side) sudden upsets, rash behavior, chaotic incidents. It can also ignite a burning desire for freedom or change.

Approximately 620,000 soldiers died from combat, accident, starvation, and disease during the Civil War.

“Peace cannot be kept by force, it can only be achieved through understanding.” Albert Einstein

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

Cosmic Weather:

“Nothing in the universe can stop you from letting go and starting over.” – Guy Finley

There’s a New Moon in trailblazing Aries, later tonight (10:31 pm). Harkening potent new beginnings! The sign of the Ram is perennially focused on putting things into motion (planting seeds), creating new opportunities. Finding ways to be more self-reliant. Independent. The specific house (area of life) that this lunation falls in, within our natal chart, will also be very activated now (for the next month), and where fresh starts are poised for liftoff.

New Moons, however, do take a little bit of time to gel as we’re essentially operating in the dark, so to speak. Unlike with a Full Moon when there’s plenty of light, with which to see, and illuminations can be overpowering.

The ruler of this Aries Lunation is Mars in Gemini which is also making a waxing sextile to the New Moon. This is a very supportive influence. Making us feel even more eager, enthusiastic about mentally pondering the slate of possibilities before us now. Jupiter in Aquarius sextiling the Lunation also adds a healthy dose of optimism to our outlook. It’s also good for trying out new approaches or methodologies. Getting backing from others. Interacting with groups. Jupiter’s ray also inclines us to want to “go big” with our new creations. Too, Mars is applying to a flowing trine to Jupiter, which perfects on Saturday (the 17th). Often one of the most beneficial times of the year, as Mars-Jupiter energy typically ratchets up our desires and endows us with an unstoppable “can-do” spirit!

Shortly after tonight’s New Moon, Venus in Aries (which is also conjunct the lunation) will also be forming a waxing square to Pluto in Capricorn (11:20 pm). What this can do, among other things, is make us very determined to have our own way in relationships (which could have consequences!). This can also give us an urge to purge the past and move on.

“Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny.” Steve Maraboli

*All times EDT.

Happy New Moon blessings!

Astrology August 24, 2013: Venus Squares Pluto

24 Saturday Aug 2013

COSMIC WATCH:

“Trust is established when words and deeds are congruent. Trust also develops when people feel safe and secure. When thoughts and ideas are shot down and ridiculed, it doesn’t take long to realize that the climate is neither safe nor conducive to making yourself vulnerable.” William M. Boast.

Providing a safe haven for our relationships, so that they can grow and flourish, and we’re able to freely show and express our vulnerable side within their borders, is usually best achieved when there is a deep foundation of trust between parties. Trust is something that, as Boast noted above, is partially erected when our words and deeds match up, and that the congruence is something that is normally measured or gauged over time, as what we say and do has a chance to come to fruition.

Today, the relationship realm is brought to the forefront because “lovable” Venus is square to “intense” Pluto.  On the shadow side, this is time when strong emotions can sometimes get the best of us. When this occurs, as we all know, our relationships can occasionally suffer, because we may be tempted to impulsively say or do something, in the heat of the moment, that we later regret, which, unfortunately, can also jeopardize the crucial “trust factor” in our relationships.

For instance, think of how easy it is for us to quickly sabotage our relationship with somebody by engaging in derogatory name-calling? Sure, it may feel good to us, to temporarily vent, but often no sooner do we get the venom out than we become bogged down with guilt by what we said. Not only that, the cost to repair or mend our relationship, if possible, can come with a hefty price tag.

Of course, just because we may be feeling strong emotions does not necessarily mean that our relationships are correspondingly going to be doomed or disrupted, or that our partner or mate should head briskly for the hills. It all depends on the manner of how we deal with them, and whether or not we even act upon them in the first place. That is where the matter of our personal choice and free will come into play. Too, when we are able to feel things more deeply, that can be a very positive thing, as that may mean that we are connecting with our passions, which Venus-Pluto can also symbolically represent.

Perhaps what we need to be focusing on more here, too, is, on what is coming up for us now, when we are experiencing these deeper emotions? What is their sheer presence inside us trying to tell us about ourselves, and our relationships? Also, if we do view our emotions as a gift to us, rather than fragile baggage that we must cart around, we may be able to deal with them in a more effective manner, and actually thank them for enlightening us further about ourselves.

Too, often with Venus-Pluto aspects, due to the transforming and regenerative nature of Pluto, it may be that our relationships are more prone to healing or restoration now, maybe after having reached, in some cases, a crisis or turning point. By examining the root causes underlying what we’re feeling (which Venus-Pluto poises us to do), we may be able to get a better handle on what is causing us to behave in a certain way, and this fresh new insight can then, hopefully, be used as launching pad to take our relationship perhaps to a deeper, more loving level. “But if these years have taught me anything it is this: you can never run away. Not ever. The only way out is in.” Junot Diaz

On a collective level, too, sometimes with the more challenging Venus-Pluto aspects, we are more prone to hearing about salacious relationships in the news,  that may also contain elements of manipulation, or abuse (Venus-Pluto can also denote obsessive behaviors, such as stalking). Interestingly, on the eve of this Venus-Pluto aspect becoming exact, there was the news report of the Mayor of San Diego, Bob Filner, reportedly resigning in wake of a high-profile, sexual harassment scandal (often the ‘square’ aspect forces issues). Too, again on the shadow side, Venus-Pluto can correlate with using others for our own gratification, or edification. It is often an element at work in power plays, or power struggles.

“It’s faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth living.” Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.

COSMIC WATCH:

Gauging our enthusiasm for whatever we are doing at the moment is often an insightful barometer to seeing if we are truly on track with our heart’s passion and purpose. We may want to use our level of enthusiasm as a trusted benchmark for our various activities today as the Moon traverses through “truth-seeking” Sagittarius, a sign that naturally steers us in the direction of what brings us the greatest amount of personal joy and inner fulfillment. Lovable Venus is also sextile bighearted Jupiter, the planetary ruler of Sadge. This sweet influence can also aid us in seeking out playful pursuits that gently serve to spread the cosmic love around.

Additionally, with both the Sun and Venus square to “controlling” Pluto, this may be a good time to be extra mindful and respectful of each others’ boundaries. Invading another’s space, without their provocation, could incite some notable pushback now. “A man’s spirit is free, but his pride binds him with chains of suffocation in a prison of his own insecurities,” Jeremy  Aldana.

Today’s Affirmation: “We are all brightly lit stars shining for each other.”

Astrology February 15, 2012: Venus Squares Pluto

15 Wednesday Feb 2012

, , , , , , , ,

COSMIC WATCH:

The “philosophical” Sagittarius Moon prompts us to take a “big picture view” of things. The ruler of Sagittarius, expansive Jupiter, is also in a 135-degree alignment with energetic Mars. This Mars-Jupiter influence can give rise to unbridled enthusiasm which can result in our going a little bit overboard, if we are not careful. We can, however, turn this energy into a win-win situation for ourselves by simply not over-committing our time or resources and practicing some restraint in what we say and do.

Venus, ruling relationships, is also square to intense Pluto, which governs the realm of our subconscious. With this Venus-Pluto aspect, buried or suppressed feelings tend to emerge, clamoring for our attention like a young child. While we may be very wise to acknowledge their presence and reflect upon why they are surfacing now, and what they have to teach us, we must also keep in mind that they are only temporary house guests passing through and not permanent residents we are stuck with, particularly if the emotions that are arising now are more of a shadow nature.

On the plus side, Venus-Pluto can be very insightful for fostering awareness concerning how we may need to change or restructure our relationships in order to allow for more personal growth within those alliances. We may also want to keep in mind today that all of our power comes from within and by trying to control other people only serves to ultimately dis-empower us in the end. Another shadow manifestation of Venus-Pluto can be a tendency to use manipulation with others to achieve our own ends instead of honoring and respecting other people’s boundaries and desires. Too, we often act this way when we are feeling threatened or are fearful of losing the love that we desire. “Ultimately, the only power to which man should aspire is that which he exercises over himself.” Elie Wiesel

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon’s entrance into chatty Gemini (4:06 am EDT) facilitates communication, fosters a climate of learning, and enhances our natural curiosity about our environment. Relationship Venus also forms an exact square to insightful, intense Pluto (9:05 pm EDT), the ruler of our subconscious, which may help to shed light on more of the complex issues of our relationships. An especially good day to glean an awareness of the deeper motivations that are driving our desires and passions.

Self-assertive Mars also enters proud, dramatic, Leo the Lion (9:51 pm EDT), which should be a boost to our self-confidence, ego and creativity. This is a very entertaining placement for Mars and can help to make us more colorful and charismatic. Mars stays in Leo until November 11. Some famous people with Mars in Leo: George Clooney, Cher, Jennifer Lopez.

“I’ve always taken risks, and never worried what the world might really think of me.” Cher

Enjoy your Sunday!

Astrology July 8, 2011: Venus Squares “Deep” Pluto, Moon in Libra

08 Friday Jul 2011

COSMIC WATCH:

 “Jealousy is that pain which a man feels from the apprehension that he is not equally beloved by the person whom he entirely loves.” Joseph Addison

The Moon remains in diplomatic Libra, however, she may have to perform double-duty to keep things copasetic  today. This is because we have sweet Venus, the ruler of relationships and romance, opposed to intense Pluto. Pluto stands guard over our subconscious, with Venus-Pluto often acting as a conduit for channeling our deeper, more complex emotions.

Too, often what we keep buried inside, can have a darker or more primitive vibration to it, as it hasn’t yet had a chance to be fully processed by our conscious awareness.  On the shadow side, Venus-Pluto has been linked with feelings of jealousy, manipulation, suspicion, and obsession, with Pluto also governing our urge for power and control.

If we feel toxic emotions rising to the surface now, instead of instinctively acting on them, we may be better off trying to probe and figure out why they are there in the first place. Venus-Pluto can be very healing in that it can help us arrive at a fresh awareness and understanding and then, accordingly, help us to purge from our behavior whatever is unhealthy.

Also, this aspect can be positive for “clearing the air” with others, as long as we do so in a manner that does not unduly invite resentment and anger. Hopefully, that is where the “polite” Libra Moon can come to our friendly assist today. Too, a good day to remember to, “make peace, not war.”

Enjoy your Friday!

Astrology Horoscope April 27, 2011: Venus Square Pluto, Sun Trine Pluto

COSMIC WEATHER:

“All of our reasoning ends in surrender to feeling.” Blaise Pascal

The Moon enters “contemplative” Pisces today (12:58 am EDT) and immediately forms  a potent conjunction to Neptune, the ruler of Pisces (2:06 am EDT). This is the first time this has occurred here in about 150 years.  With this double-dose of  “Neptunian energy”  mystically engulfing us, there can be more of a desire to surrender to “unseen forces.” Neptune, of course, denotes our “link with the Divine.” It also represents our “urge for escape (fantasy),” and the impulse to avoid confrontation.

Ironically, with this more “retreating” Pisces Moon backdrop, we also have the more “high-drama” Venus square Pluto aspect (3:19 am EDT), which is, potentially, a more conflicting, confrontational type energy, that is linked with “depth of feeling” and “all-consuming” passion. Venus, again, rules love and relationships, and money and what we value. Pluto governs our “urge for reform” and also the “desire to purge.” It is tied in with power, control, erotica and sexual issues, compulsive-type behavior and feelings of obsession. Pluto also symbolically rules death. Its vibration is intense and laser-focused.

Often when we merge these two, with the “square” aspect often “forcing matters,” we see, on the shadow side, the emergence of some very thorny relationship, or money issues, especially if we are acting in a self-serving manner. It is suggested that, to avoid giving a platform to these problematic issues, we wisely refrain now from engaging in manipulative (Pluto) or controlling behavior and avoid deliberately pushing “hot button” topics. This also extends to the professional front, as Pluto is in Capricorn, the sign of career.

On another level, though, Venus-Pluto does sometimes have a healing or redemptive quality to it, and can also mark the beneficial ending (Pluto) of a personal or business relationship (Venus) that is no longer useful to us, or that has simply outlived its purpose. Moving on from such a tie now may actually be a potent way to “regenerate” (Pluto) ourselves.

To cite, perhaps, a high-profile example of this: Yesterday, on the eve of this aspect, came word that CBS Evening News Anchor, Katie Couric, would be leaving that post at CBS, when her contract expires at the end of June. Katie, a Capricorn, debuted as nightly news anchor when Saturn in entertainment Leo was exactly opposite hazy, dissolving Neptune in Aquarius (sign of broadcasting). The ratings for the program have never been very good. Often with Saturn-Neptune we experience more “ego-denying” experiences. Saturn-Neptune energy is often depicted as a time when the “rug is pulled out” from under us, a period when we do not receive the kind of support that we need.

Meanwhile, we also have a powerful “Sun trine Pluto” aspect today, with the Sun in pragmatic Taurus, the sign of money. This can also suggest that we can successfully make some practical (Taurus) reforms (Pluto) in our lives now. It also gives us more resolve to tackle difficult issues head-on with determination and courage. Sun trine Pluto can additionally bring about more “transparency,” as it can illuminate (Sun) previously hidden matters (Pluto). Although, we may want to be careful now that we don’t also “spill the beans” on things that we don’t want revealed.

Coincidentally, as I am writing this, a news report has just come out that the White House has released President Obama’s “long form” birth certficate today (transparency), in a bid to end a long-standing public controversy on whether or not he was not born in the U.S.  (The birth certificate shows that he was.) Also, today will be the very first time that the Federal Reserve (Taurus) has ever held a “press conference,” with Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke, set to be grilled by the media. The Central Bank has traditionally operated with a high-level of secrecy (Pluto). Pluto also rules debt and credit issues.

Do you maybe feel a need for more transparency (Sun trine Pluto) in your own life today? Do you see where it perhaps could be helpful to you now, to share a secret about yourself, or to divulge some information? Too, sometimes when we do “unload stuff,” we do feel better, more freer. In other words, there can be a decided “cathartic” affect (Pluto) to the whole process.

Patricia’s Astrology Horoscope August 11, 2010: Nagging Lover

“Nagging is the repetition of unpalatable truths.” Edith Clara Summerskill


COSMIC WEATHER:

It’s Day Two of official “Elvis Week,” August 10th-16th. (Been celebrating it a little earlier around here.)

We’re suffering through the likes of the nagging, picky “Virgo Moon” today.

Many of us are also still dealing with the fallout of the tumultuous “Venus-Pluto” aspect, which may have forced some of us to have to deal with the issue of ex-lovers (Venus) “re-appearing from the dead (Pluto),” making our lives even more miserable. Others of us are holed up in hotels because our short-fused spouses have kicked us out. Today, though, it’s the nagging that’s really getting to us.

“People are starving! Losing their homes! And all you want to do is bitch about the frickin’ toothpaste tube! Stay out of the bathroom, if you don’t like the way I squeeze the darn’ tube!

And stop going on incessantly about the way I chew my food! You’re lucky there’s even food on the table! I work my butt off, and for what???

And don’t even get started on my snoring!”

Heartbreak Hotel was the first #1 pop record by Elvis and the best-selling single of 1956. When it was released on January 27, 1956, the Moon was in dramatic Leo and Karma Lord Saturn, in expansive Sagittarius, was in a close, harmonious trine to Genius Uranus, perched at the very beginning of entertaining Leo. Saturn here served as the “form” or “container” for the launching of a whole new, “cool sound”  (Uranus) that was uniquely Elvis Presley and that helped spawned the formation of “rock and roll.”

In the News: With “Venus square Pluto” on Monday a story surfaced in the media about some woman in Canada who reportedly “faked cancer’ for two years and bilked supporters out of thousands of dollars. As I told you earlier, with “Venus-Pluto,”  we often hear about situations which involve the “manipulation” of our emotions, for whatever reason. Symbolically, too, Venus rules “women” and Pluto denotes “death,” so this particular story also played out on that level as well, with the woman “feigning” a potentially “terminal illness.”

Additionally on Monday, we heard the sad news about the dramatic, Oscar-winning actress Patricia Neal (symbolized by Venus), dying (Pluto) at age 84 of lung cancer. Patricia received her Oscar for her role as a housekeeper to the Texas father  (Melvyn Douglas) at odds with his selfish, wayward son (Paul Newman) in Hud.

Patricia Neal, an ambitious Capricorn with a pioneering Aries Moon, had led a heroic life. Successfully overcoming the ravages of a series of strokes, at age 39, in which she had to relearn how to walk and talk, she later would return to the screen to earn another Oscar nomination and three Emmy nominations. In a 1988 autobiography, Neal likened her life to that of a “Greek tragedy.” In astrology, we may say it encompassed a good measure of the tragedy and sorrow of  “Venus-Pluto.”

Patricia’s death, occurring under the “Venus-Pluto umbrella,” is also a reminder of the more spiritually “regenerating” elements of this aspect. In the face of declining health, Patricia never gave up.  In fact, she endured and triumphed, and managed to come back stronger than ever. Venus-Pluto, at its noblest, is indicative of  “emotionally rising from the ashes.”

Famous August 11th Leo Birthdays: Alyson Stoner (17), Hulk Hogan (57), and my baby boy “Boo” (7), depicted down below, next to his Shih-tzu sister “Minnie,” who’s missing her head.  Since I’m losing my mind, it’s all good.

Enjoy your Wednesday!

We may want to hide the toothpaste.

Who needs all this frickin’ heartache!

We’re over it!”

With the progression of the Emotional Moon into “Reasoning” Virgo at 7:02 pm EDT, we could finally catch a break here from all of this “high drama,” a time when “cooler heads” may prevail.

Elvis Presley made his first demo on July 18, 1953 when “Karma Lord” Saturn was exactly conjunct “Musical” Neptune in Creative Libra in the sky. Saturn was also passing through Elvis’ tenth house of career, often a time when there is a turning point in one’s career. Saturn conjunct Neptune, can symbolize, at its finest: The “manifestation (Saturn) of a dream (Neptune).”

In the News: On Monday, the Journal of Pediatrics reported on the findings of a study of 1200 girls that found that girls in the U.S. may be reaching puberty earlier, even as early as the age of seven. While doctors are unsure of the reason for this early maturation, rising obesity rates are being cited as a possible cause.

In astrology, Venus rules females and Pluto has to do with sexual development. The findings of this study came to public attention with Venus exactly square Pluto, which I thought was very interesting.  With the “square” influence, there is often “movement” in matters, as squares “force issues.”

Enjoy your Tuesday!

We may want to reconsider hanging up on George Clooney.
