Cosmic Weather:

“We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity, and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.” – Edith Lovejoy Pierce

Happy New Year!

Waning Luna continues in task-oriented Virgo all day. Perhaps this will serve to duly inspire us to double down on moving forward with those (ball and chain) NYE resolutions. 🙂 The Virgo Moon is excellent for any activity that requires attention to details.

Also, this morning, lovable Venus, in footloose and fancy-free Sagittarius, forms an exact square to Saturn in Pisces (8:25 am). Since Saturn and its exhaustive array of rings extending millions of miles out from the planet signifies restrictions or boundary setting, it could be that we are understandably feeling a little (or a lot!) walled in at the moment. Venus governs our relationships, finances, and values and when it is aligned with responsibility-minded Saturn, we are perceived to be more inclined to feel the weightiness of it all and what to do about it.

(Thought it was also interesting how Queen Margrethe ll of Denmark announced yesterday, during her New Years speech, that she plans to abdicate after 52 years and hand over the throne to her son, Crown Prince Frederik – reportedly catching everyone by surprise. Too, when I first heard the news, I immediately thought of this pending Venus-Saturn aspect today as it is sometimes correlated with the ending of ties or relationships, especially those that are viewed or regarded as more dutiful in nature.)

We also close out this first day of the new year, with messenger Mercury stationing direct in Sagittarius (10:07 pm) after a retrograde period that commenced on December 13th. In the coming days, our decision-making process ideally becomes clearer as Mercury begins to pick up speed.

*All times EST

Born On This Day: American Novelist J.D. Salinger in NYC, New York in 1919 (d. 2010).

“The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.” – J.D. Salinger, Catcher in the Rye

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

“We can say what we need to say. We can gently, but assertively, speak our mind. We do not need to be judgmental, tactless, blaming or cruel when we speak our truths.” Melody Beattie

Venus Square Saturn: This aspect is in effect now through April 21st, when it becomes exact. Venus, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, archetypally represents how we give and receive love and affection. It also symbolizes what we value as well as our artistic or creative sensibilities. When Venus is aligned with Saturn, we may take a more practical or mature view of our relationships as Saturn denotes the realm of tried-and-true experience. It is the reality principle. Optimally, we may want to use this Venus-Saturn time to be deeply honest with ourselves about matters of the heart, and to not be afraid to set appropriate boundaries. One of the gifts of Saturn is that it teaches us to stand on our own. A shadow manifestation of this Venus-Saturn influence is to feel blocked or cut off from others.

Some Famous People with Venus square Saturn in their Natal Chart: Oprah Winfrey, Lisa Marie Presley, Julia Child, Merv Griffin

This Date in History: On April 18, 1975 John Lennon releases “Stand by Me.”

Famous April 18 Birthdays: Hayley Mills, James Woods, Conan O’Brien, Kourtney Kardashian

“Disappointment leads to clarity, which leads to conviction and true originality.” Conan O’Brien

“Do not cling to a limited, disconnected, negative image of a person in the past. See that person now.” Brian L. Weiss

COSMIC WATCH:

Sweet Venus squares “detached” Saturn today (2:22 pm EDT). A time when many of us may be more than a little tempted to pull down the shade on love and relationships and just hang out with our lonesome. And, you know what – that may not be such a bad idea! Sometimes, we do need a “people-less day”, every now and then, in order to come away with a fresh, new perspective on things. Spending time alone is a great way for us to get to know our self better and find out what we really desire in life, including who we want around us.

Too, while it may be very important for us to see our relationships as they are now – what we don’t want to do, is see them “worse” than they are. Which is occasionally a trap that the Venus-Saturn can set up for us by activating our Monkey Mind fears or paranoia. Meanwhile, this same aspect can also find us taking a cold, hard look at our finances today – as Venus also rules money and possession matters.

“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.” Anais Nin

Question for Today: What might you be failing to see about your partner, or someone else close to you?

Famous August 26 Birthdays: Mother Teresa, Macaulay Culkin, Melissa McCarthy, Geraldine Ferraro

“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.” Mother Teresa

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon in idealistic Pisces helps us tap into our more charitable side. There is also a transforming quality to the morning as the Moon sextiles renewing Pluto (10:40 am EST). Something that was perhaps hidden or concealed to us before, may now finally be viewed or understood, or at least partially grasped. Lovable Venus squaring serious Saturn may also find us duly reflecting upon our relationships and whether or not we are getting our needs met. “When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.” Donald Miller

Famous Birthdays February 11: Burt Reynolds, Jennifer Aniston, Manuel Noriega, Sarah Palin. “Buck up or stay in the truck.” Sarah Palin

In the News: It was announced today that Pope Benedict XVI will resign from his post on February 28. This surprising announcement comes on the heels of Mars (in spiritual Pisces) exactly squaring Jupiter (in newsmaker Gemini) just yesterday. It is often the nature of action-oriented Mars to trigger “historic firsts.” Jupiter is also the planet of organized religion.

Enjoy your Monday!

COSMIC WATCH:

“To know when to go away and when to come closer is the key to any lasting relationship.” Domenico Cieri Estrada

Sometimes we need to pull back from others. Maybe to reset a boundary that has gotten blurred. Or to simply reconnect with our center to examine how our relationships are reflecting what is in our heart. Today’s Venus square Saturn aspect can help to provide us with the distance that we may temporarily need so that we can once again discern or identify our true desires. Or it could be that this influence helps to provide a sacred space for us to seriously ponder our commitments.  Often, too, when we have the courage to let go of whatever it is that we desire, we find that what we really need has a way of effortlessly flowing into our lives.

Energetic Mars is also sextile to perceptive Pluto. This potent influence can additionally help to re-align us with our own light so that we are better able to stand upright in our own truth. This can also be a very transformational aspect that can positively reconfigure or reshape elements in our environment. Doors that were closed to us before, may suddenly open now. “I feel very adventurous. There are so many doors to be opened, and I’m not afraid to look behind them.” Elizabeth Taylor

Astrology July 13, 2011: Venus Squares “Distant” Saturn

COSMIC WATCH:

“Whenever you’re in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make a difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.” William James

Little Miss Venus, the “loving glue” that binds us together, squares “withholding” Saturn in partnership Libra from the ultra-sensitive sign of Cancer. Venus-Saturn tends to elevate the fear and vulnerability factors in our relationships, with Saturn encouraging us to “wall ourselves off.” So it could be that it may be a bit harder for us to “stick together” or “to connect” now, unless we consciously choose to adopt a more cooperative or caring spirit that enables us to override  our more fluctuating moods or fragile sensitivities.

Too, with Saturn presiding over our responsibilities and sense of duty, Venus-Saturn can sometimes have us feeling that we are cast in a “ball and chain” role with no way out. Of course, this is not true. We always have choices available to us. With that said, we may still want to consider putting off that first, tender date with George Clooney, for another time, when the cosmic terrain is easier to navigate.

The Moon is also shifting into Saturn-ruled Capricorn this morning (10:14 am EDT), amplifying our desires to achieve our worldly ambitions. Also setting the stage for the potent Full Moon in Capricorn on Friday.

“Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine.” Elvis Presley

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Full Moon in Mick Jagger’s Leo February 18, 2011 Astrology Horoscope

“Fear not, we are the nature of the lion, and cannot descend to the destruction of of mice and small beasts.” Elizabeth I

There’s a Full Moon at 29 degrees of flashy Leo on February 18, 2011 (3:36 am EST). Too, this “Hollywood-style” Full Moon does not disappoint in the “drama department” with its exact opposition to glittery, seductive Neptune in quirky Aquarius.

Full Moons traditionally deliver “full illumination,” although with Neptune’s veiled ray amplified here, it may be a challenge to decode what’s really going on around us now.

Ensnaring Neptune governs fantasy, illusion, dreams, delusion, sacrifice, surrender, self-doubt, escape. While the theatrical Leo Moon craves praise, applause and ego recognition.

It could be, too, that this Leo Full Moon serves as a barometer to check the health of our ego. Also, our susceptibility to flattery.

Additionally, this is a highly creative Full Moon especially for filmmaking, acting, writing, dancing, music, painting.

Also, at the time of this Full Moon, Love Goddess Venus in professional Capricorn is exactly square to withholding Saturn in romantic Libra, so it could be that we are a bit more measured in relationships now until we have a good sense of what we may get in return.

The song Satisfaction is perhaps an apt tie-in with this particular lunation with the emotional Moon’s potentially ego-denying opposition to Neptune. A time when we may  meet up with a certain amount of rebuff no matter where we turn.
