“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

Astrology August 26, 2014: Venus Squares Saturn

“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 “drama queen” Leo on February 18, 2011 (3:36 am EST). Too, this “Hollywood-style” Full Moon does not disappoint in the “drama department” with it’s exact opposition to glittery, seductive Neptune in brotherly love 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 wants to wield formidable power. It could be that this Leo Full Moon serves as a barometer to check the health of our ego. Also, our susceptibility to flattery. Too, it may have the net affect of making us more humble, which isn’t such a bad thing either. Additionally, this is a highly creative Full Moon especially for film-making, acting, writing, dancing, music, painting.

(BTW, at the 53rd annual Grammy Awards show on Sunday night, the transiting Moon was at 28-29 degrees of idea-minded Gemini forming a trine to imaginative Neptune and a square to genius Uranus, and the level of creativity at the event was at a fever pitch. We have an equivalent energy here, perhaps even more so with the “entertainment” Leo Moon at 29 degrees.)

Individually, we will want to check out what house in our horoscope this lunation is falling in to see where all this captivating, “suspenseful drama” and creativity will be playing out.

Also at the time of this Full Moon, Love Goddess Venus in professional Capricorn is exactly square to withholding Saturn in romantic Libra. It may be that, like Leo, Mick Jagger, we have to try harder to get “satisfaction” in the bedroom or the boardroom.

Overall, too, I think the song Satisfaction is a perfect tie-in with this particular Full Moon, in showy Leo, with the emotional Moon’s agonizing opposition to “ego-denying” Neptune. A time when we may be meeting up with a certain amount of rebuff no matter where we turn. We could also experience some existential discontent or disillusionment with the general nature of things in the collective (Aquarius). Of course, if we keep focused on our core values and personal mission statements, we’ll be just fine. Eventually. Once this Neptunian curtain is lifted and Mick Jagger finally takes center stage, along with the anchoring, Keith Richards. 🙂

Patricia Thompson’s Astrology May 15, 2010: Pluto Soul Mate

In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do.” Stephen R. Covey

Tucking away that sage bit of wisdom to perhaps chew on later, the ever-changing Moon is ready to continue on to her next information-gathering stop in curious, communicative Gemini.

That is the mindset today. We want to find out and know a little bit about everything  with emphasis on “little.”  We’ll have more time to fully digest and philosophize about all the meaning of this new knowledge when the Moon moves through mutable Virgo and Sagittarius.

The lighthearted and fun-loving Gemini Moon also makes us Chatty Cathy in addition to reminding us not to take ourselves too seriously now. Our humor is also in greater supply, thankfully.

Overall, pretty cool feng shui energy for a fun Saturday.

Event in history on this date:

Beatle Paul McCartney reportedly met his future wife Linda Eastman on May 15, 1967. Most notable astrological influence here was the transiting, life-changing Pluto at 18 Virgo exactly trining his relationship Venus at 18 Taurus. The very same type of influence that Simon Cowell now has in his horoscope. Simon has transiting Pluto in Capricorn trining his Venus in Virgo. He is supposedly now engaged and poised to get married.

Pluto, which I regard as our planet of destiny, brings us those situations for which we were born.  (I also know Pluto has technically been de-throned from planetary status.)  When Pluto is aligned with Goddess of Love Venus, it can and often does bring us the person we were meant to love. Or, in other words, brings us our soul mate. I can personally attest to this fact, as I also met my husband with transiting Pluto exactly trine to my natal Venus.

Venus also represents things that we love, our possessions, and also things that we create.  Venus rules our artistic creativity.  As I mentioned the other day, Mick Jagger, who penned the lyrics to Satisfaction in May of 1965 (Keith Richards composed the music to it in his Neptunian sleep), also had the transiting Pluto exactly conjoined his Venus at the time. So for Mick, Pluto and Venus was synonymous with creating something of a masterpiece that fatefully changed his life (the song would become the Rolling Stones’ signature trademark). Mick would always have a special, symbolic “soul mate” relationship with Satisfaction in a way.

Linda Eastman also had transiting Pluto exactly sextile to her natal Scorpio Moon in her first house of new beginnings when she met Paul.  The feminine Moon governs our feelings and nurturing emotions and in karmic astrology symbolizes our past life experiences. The transiting Pluto to the Moon often delivers to us those experiences that transform or “wake us up” emotionally. I believe Linda and Paul were probably soul mates in a previous lifetime since both of them came together in this incarnation under Pluto’s powerful ray.

Looking at Linda’s and Paul’s horoscopes here, there is so much more I could write about now but, with the Moon in restless Gemini, I’m feeling the need to move on. I am sure you are, too. Perhaps we can revisit this matter of their two horoscopes later.

Enjoy your Saturday! Do Gemini proud and stay in motion. Don’t be a couch potato!

Patricia Thompson’s Astrology April 9, 2010: Mystical Visions

“Human nature is potentially aggressive and destructive and potentially orderly and constructive.” Margaret Mead.

We’re still under the spell of the applying Mars quinqunx Pluto energy. (This challenging aspect is exact Saturday at 8:44 pm EDT).  Mars signifies the aggressive urge (and also rules the physical energy in the body); Pluto denotes the urge for power. There may be some issue that we feel very strongly about now that we don’t want to back off from, but in order to ultimately maintain a steady position of justifiable strength, we would be wise to transmute the aggressive urge into some layer of compromise.  If we refuse to bend now, things could get volatile as this is a classic “war aspect.”  The biggest battle, too, could be the one we face with ourselves stemming from thinking and behavior that is too obsessive (Pluto). It’s important to make sure we get enough rest now and not overdo physically.

Meanwhile, the Moon continues her unpredictable rendezvous in Aquarius. She eventually meets up with the white-robed Prophet Neptune (5:44 pm EDT) who fills her head with a goodly amount of mystical visions and illusions just in time for her miraculous descent into mantra-chanting Pisces (9:48 pm EDT).

“What does mysticism really mean?  It means the way to attain knowledge.  It’s close to philosophy, except in philosophy you go horizontally while in mysticism you go vertically.” Elie Wiesel.

Memorable even in history on this date: April 9, 2005 – Prince Charles of Wales married Camilla Parker Bowles in a civil ceremony at Guildhall, Windsor.

In their wedding chart that day (wedding time unknown) the planet Venus, ruling love and marriage, was in impetuous Aries in a square (tense) aspect to restrictive Saturn in Cancer. Venus in Aries longs to be spontaneous and adventurous in the expression of her romantic feelings but joined with sobering Saturn,  she is obligated to curtail that fervor out of a sense of duty and responsibility to familial considerations (Cancer), which in this case would be feeling (no doubt) the need to dutifully uphold the rigorous protocol enveloping the Royal Family.  Additionally, the pair may feel “cut-off” or “distanced” from the people of their homeland (Saturn in Cancer).

On a brighter note, Venus is also trine (harmonious) to regenerating Pluto in philosophical Sagittarius indicating a powerful component of emotional and physical attraction to each other, as well as mutually feeling that the relationship was “fated” or “meant to be.”  Venus-Pluto often brings us our soul mates. This alignment here also suggests that their “higher beliefs” (Sagittarius) would perennially help to serve as a transformational and or renewing influence for the union. Mars conjunct mystical Neptune trine Jupiter also gives yet another testament to a deep spiritual, idealistic connection between these two individuals.

(Wedding charts, too, always need to be viewed in conjunction with the two birth charts of the persons getting married in order to get a fuller understanding of  all the energies involved. I just thought, for our purposes here, it would be fun to take a peek into the planets on the day they were wed.)

Peace and love, everyone.  Enjoy your Friday!

(Also, love and blessings to Charles and Camilla on their 5th wedding anniversary.)
