Two, very nice, harmonizing trine aspects are occurring today as those of us, in the US, get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving Day:
Mercury in Scorpio trines Neptune in Pisces (4:50 am) – This lovely, more inspirational-type aspect potentially helps us to become more empathic or heart-centered in our conversations or communications. It’s excellent energy for generating overall psychic awareness or for tapping into our intuition. Ideally, we’re feeling more connected with our own inner sense of divinity. Possibly more willing to seeing unifying threads among us all. It’s also an excellent aspect for doing any kind of creative work, or for listening to music, or for maybe relaxing by the sea.
Venus in Capricorn trining Uranus RX in Taurus (1:27 pm): This exciting aspect can motivate us to want to partake in some stimulating or out-of-the-norm social or romantic activities. It can also bring people into our orbit who we might not normally interact with but now find very engaging or even liberating to be around. This galvanizing energy may also present us with sudden opportunities or outlets for financial or professional growth, including the chance to take fresh new approaches to these areas.
The waxing Moon also enters traditionally-minded Capricorn, this morning (7:32 am), where it will remain for the next couple days. This lunar placement helps us to appreciate or draw upon our past experiences, in a positive way.
Numerologically, with it being the 28th day of the month, there’s also greater potential for being able to express leadership qualities, as well as for taking initiative.

Happy Thanksgiving, to all of you who celebrate the day!

“Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze. ” Elinor Glyn
The waning Moon is in utilitarian Capricorn, all day, and it will be re-emphasizing yesterday’s potent square aspect from Mars in Aries to Pluto in Capricorn. The Moon will first conjunct Pluto (at 3:13 pm) and then square Mars (at 4:12 pm). It could be that there’s some kind of follow-up to deal with now from the issues that we faced yesterday. Moon conjunct Pluto also generally poises us to feel things very deeply. Sometimes, too, as a result of what comes up for us emotionally now, we are better able to see things in a clearer light. Moon-Pluto aspects are also excellent for any kind of recycling or decluttering projects on the homefront, especially now with the Moon in its waning Crescent phase. Of course, the Moon rules the home or nest and Pluto rules purging and rebirth. The waning Moon cycle is also when we want to empty ourselves of what no longer is serving us in preparation for the upcoming New Moon, which in this case, will be occurring on Monday. The Moon square Mars influence is always potentially a more volatile time for us as we tend to be more reactive, more defensive. So we may want to monitor ourselves accordingly then, in an effort to avert any missteps. Tell our inner warrior to take a hike for a while! 🙂
Today, we also have a very fun Venus-Uranus influence. Venus in Sagittarius is trining Uranus in Aries (at 6:40 pm), traditionally an aspect that tends to loosen our inhibitions, or make us more daring socially and or romantically. We’re potentially more inspired now to embrace out of the ordinary pleasures and activities. There could also be some liberating breakthroughs in the realm of our feelings. We might also discover new ways of relating to others. Or be suddenly attracted to new people in a way that is rather electrifying for us. Interestingly, John Lennon and Paul McCartney first met each other on a day when Venus and Uranus were both conjunct in the sign of entertainment Leo. Of course, we all know the outcome of that iconic union!
“I’m really glad that most of our songs were about love, peace and understanding.” Paul McCartney

Cosmic Quote of the Day:“Sometimes we have to meet people where they are, Ollie. Honor their desires, regardless of our own.” Tess Hilmo, With a Name like Love
It can be a very freeing experience, for all of us, when we find a way to suspend our expectations and judgments of others, and just allow them to gracefully be who they are. One thing that can also help out here is to try to really understand where another person is coming from before forming an opinion of them.
Today’s Energy:
The Moon is in adventurous Sagittarius all day.
The Sagittarius Moon squares idealistic Neptune at 5:12 pm. It may be hard to come down from the clouds now.
Venus trines Uranus, 2:26 am. Uranus has a freeing impact on the Goddess of Love. We seek out novelty or newness in our relationships, and in our leisure activities. This influence also favors creativity and group expression. It will remain in effect for a couple of days.

“If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.”John F. Kennedy
COSMIC WATCH:
There seems to be a natural inkling among many of us to want to surround ourselves with others who tend to mirror our own image. For instance, maybe the individuals within our own inner circle happen to share many of our same viewpoints, values, and beliefs on various things. Or maybe we’re all members of the same socio-economic class. Or perhaps these friends and associates resemble us on the outside in terms of physical appearance or even age. This common behavior may be reflective of the principle that there’s “safety in numbers.”
T.H. White, the author of, “The Book of Merlyn,” once wrote: “I can imagine nothing more terrifying than an Eternity filled with men who were all the same. The only thing which has made life bearable…has been the diversity of creatures on the surface of the globe.”
Today, with relationship Venus in positive alignment (trining) to non-conforming Uranus, the planet of change and diversity, it might behoove some of us to consider taking action to widen or expand our existing social circles a bit so as to include more meaningful interactions with others who may be radically different to us. We just might be surprised at what we may end up learning about each other by doing this.
Too, it has been my experience that often on Venus-Uranus days, more unusual or colorful types of people tend to cross our paths, unexpectedly, with seemingly no effort on our part. Also, a cool bit of astrological trivia: John Lennon and Paul McCartney met on a day when Venus was exactly conjunct Uranus in entertainment Leo! Venus also governs creativity, artists and musicians and Uranus rules genius and invention. Also with Venus-Uranus aspects the sudden alliances that form under this influence are normally quite exciting and dynamic, although sometimes they may not last too long. BTW, the late actress, Elizabeth Taylor, had her natal Venus and Uranus exactly conjunct in adventurous Aries.
Wanted to also add here that Uranus does govern the internet and computers and, of course, many of us have been able to successfully branch out our social networks, the last few years, through participation in online social media. Again, Uranus playing a pivotal role in helping us to stretch ourselves beyond our personal borders.
“It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.”Maya Angelou
Enjoy your Wednesday! Let’s also hope that members of Congress might finally be able to embrace diversity and opposing viewpoints, at least long enough, to come to a positive agreement on raising the debt ceiling and ending the government shutdown. 🙂

The Moon sticks around for another day in “progressive” Aquarius, ideally poising us to be more accepting of change and also more detached with our emotions. She is also getting friendly backup by relationship Venus and thinker Mercury. Both of these planetary bodies are now situated in exploratory, truth-seeking Sagittarius, and both are exactly trine to innovative Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius.
When Venus and Uranus are aligned, we generally tend to be more free-spirited in our love or social lives, which can often translate into a desire to engage in exciting or thrilling new pastimes or adventures. Sometimes, too, we are more tempted to defy or ignore the rules of convention, with this influence, especially as they pertain to our romantic or social behavior, as Uranus governs the urge for freedom and individuality.
Too, on Venus-Uranus days, we often find issues concerning gay rights or sexual equality coming to the forefront of the collective. Fascinatingly, the late actress, Elizabeth Taylor, was also born on a day when Venus and Uranus were exactly conjunct in pioneering Aries and we all know about her tireless and heroic efforts for AIDS and equality issues, especially the latter portion of her life. She also had a striking, electrifying (Uranus) appearance and Venus affects one’s physical beauty and fashion. Accordingly, it might be a fun day for us to spice up our appearance or wardrobe in novel ways. BTW, the late Johnny Cash, also had the same Venus-Uranus conjunction and he always dressed in black to distinguish himself.
The Mercury trine Uranus aspect today is also helpful in connecting us with our inner genius or brilliance. It naturally primes us to think “outside of the box.” It can also facilitate our intuition, which Uranus governs, paving the way for sudden breakthroughs and plenty of “aha moments.” With Uranus additionally ruling technology it may be a good day to purchase new electronic gadgets or for figuring out matters of a technical nature.
Mercury also rules communication and deposited in articulate, idealistic Sadge, this may be a perfect time to sound off with a letter to the editor, or for airing our views or vision for the world in general. Sagittarius also rules politics and things seem to really be heating up now, in that arena, esp. on a Presidential campaign level in the U.S., with prior sexual harassment allegations against Herman Cain coming to light with the Venus (in sexual Scorpio) square Neptune aspect, at the start of the week. Neptune’s nebulous ray is often involved in scandals and smear campaigns.
Also today, the Aquarius Moon is making a positive trine to stabilizing Saturn in partnership Libra (1:06 pm EDT), the sign of the public. This influence can help to steady our relationships. It’s also a good time to roll out public relations campaigns or for trying diplomatic gestures.
“To say nothing, especially when speaking, is half the art of diplomacy. “Will Durant
In the News: The G-20 economic summit kicks off today in Cannes, France, bringing together leaders from around the world, including President Obama from the U.S. and President Sarkozy of France. Interestingly, Venus rules money and finance, and Mercury governs meetings, and both are now newly deposited in Sagittarius, a sign associated with foreign travel and international dealings. Too, with Venus and Mercury both trine to brilliant Uranus, and the Moon in clear-thinking, strategizing Aquarius, perhaps some forward-thinking progress will be made on world economic issues. We can at least hope, that this will be the case. Of course, regarding our own personal money management, we may also want to institute some new moves or strategies today. Maybe also ferret out new ways to make money.
Financial News Update: NYTimes.com is reporting today (12:46 pm EDT) that the Greek Prime Minister is calling off the referendum on the Euro Bailout Plan, which likely will be a stabilizing factor for financial markets. Interesting that this news item is being reported, too, with the Moon’s harmonious trine to Saturn, which can again serve to steady things.
Entertainment News:Simon Cowell announced on the X-Factor last night that the program had been picked up for another season, much to his delight, especially since the show is, reportedly, his own brainchild. When the X-Factor debuted in the U.S. on Sept. 21st, adventurous Mars was at 2 degrees of entertainment Leo and exactly trine to Uranus in Aries, an excellent influence for a show trying to discover very original (Uranus) talent (Leo). Also, Simon’s announcement last night came with Mercury (rules news and announcements) and Venus (governs artists and performers) in Sagittarius and both exactly trining Uranus once again. Also, with both of these planets creating a very propitious grand trine with Mars and Uranus in the natal X-Factor horoscope. As an astrologer, it is always so fascinating to see how the cycles play out and to watch things come full circle.
Do you watch the X-Factor? Do you have a favorite artist on the show? I think Drew is my favorite, although all the performers are extremely talented. It would be fun to know all of their birth times and take a look at each of their natal horoscopes. I would also like to see L.A. Reid‘s chart, he is so dynamic and cool. I love watching his physical expressions on the show when he really gets immersed in the performances.

“Above all else, be daring, be bold, be unconventional.” Kevin Rampe
The stars above seem to be “dittoing” that same sentiment today with both the Sun and Moon still deposited in bold, daring Leo, along with relationship and social guru, Ms. Venus. Venus is also forming an exact trine to Uranus, the planet of unconventionality, in “new moves” Aries.
Mingling with non-conforming types, or with people who may not share our same set of values. Seeking out new forms of entertainment or recreation. Throwing an impromptu party or celebration. Doing something we fear. These are but a handful of ways that we can positively engage the energies of the day and maybe push up that “growth factor” one notch higher in our lives by stepping out of our comfort zones.
Are you comfortable embracing people from different backgrounds? Can you see where it may be advantageous to expose yourself to different cultures?

“When you are in Love you can’t fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams.” Dr. Seuss
Hopefully, that will be the case for many of us today. That we will be so smitten with the Love Bug, that we won’t be able to sleep or eat. We may not even care to vacuum, which would be just unbelievable to me, but it could theoretically happen.
The reason why is Love Goddess Venus is entering royal Leo (4:50 am EDT) and making a harmonious trine to Uranus, the planet of sudden attractions and personal magnetism. Venus-Uranus is synonymous with “love at first sight.”
Even non-romantic relationships started now can be very exciting and full of possibilities. John Lennon and Paul McCartney met under a Venus-Uranus conjunction in Leo – and see where their relationship took them! And, aren’t we all so very glad that those two hooked up?
I can’t imagine what my life would have been like had I not grown up with the Beatles. They had a profound impact on shaping our culture, not to mention their singular and vast contributions to music. Plus how many of us were also “in love” with them? It seems like many of us each had our favorite Beatle. Mine was always Paul, with John a close second. (You may also want to read an earlier blog here that I did on John and Paul’s first meet up under Venus-Uranus.)
Venus is associated with creativity and conjoined with inventive Uranus this influence can be very powerful for writing original music compositions, such as was the case with Paul and John. Or for rendering unique artistic pieces. This would also be a good time to purchase more unusual art work, especially as an investment. Too, this creative Venus-Uranus influence augments the excellent influence that we now have for writing with the Sun moving through articulate Gemini.
Because Uranus is the “Change Planet,” we may also be attracted to persons now we normally would not be attracted to. We are more willing to experiment. We are also more inclined to be tolerant of behaviors that we don’t understand.
This Venus-Uranus aspect also correlates with and favors more non-traditional or unconventional unions. Often on Venus-Uranus days, for example, issues of sexual orientation and same-sex marriage come to the forefront.
Venus will stay in regal Leo until July 10th during which time we will want to be romantically courted and wined and dined in fine style. Venus in Leo loves complete adulation and also loves to party! May want to keep a close eye on making too many extravagant purchases now, one pitfall here.
The Moon will be in sensitive Cancer all day and then shift into dramatic Leo at 11:55 pm EDT adding even more to the emotional fanfare.
Event in History on this date: Auschwitz concentration camp opened on June 14, 1940. Over 3 million people were killed there. At the time the camp opened, the transiting Gemini Sun was exactly square to undermining, deceptive, delusional Neptune in purification Virgo. Mercury, governing thinking, was in protectionist Cancer conjunct warrior Mars, the planet of violence. Mercury-Mars is associated with aggressive thoughts and acts of violence. Mars also formally rules the military.
It’s interesting, too, from a historic perspective, at the start of the Boxer Rebellion in China in 1900, the Sun was also exactly conjunct Neptune the day the systematic killings of foreigners got underway. Neptune is associated with fanaticism and distorted viewpoints, delusional thinking. JFK was another person assassinated when Saturn was square Neptune. Also, ethnic violence and killings are presently taking place in Krygyzstan in Russia and we have Saturn quinqunx Neptune now.
I joke around here often about Neptune being spacey, etc., but Neptune is often no joking matter. The current Saturn Neptune quinqunx aspect (Neptune rules oil and water) also figures into all the confusion and chaos that is and has been going on in the Gulf of Mexico stemming from the BP oil spill, plus there have also been other new oil spills under this same planetary configuration and Chiron in Pisces.
Neptune tends to undermine our confidence and can make us lose hope when it is receiving hard aspects. A lot of times, too, under Neptune, the things that happen often don’t seem to make any sense and they are often very ego-denying and humbling to us, both individually and collectively. Neptune is also associated with scandal and embarrassment.
News Update:
TheNew York Times is reporting the UnitedStates has discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan, which is far beyond any early known reserves and enough to alter the Afghan economy and perhaps the Aghan war itself, according to senior American government officials. It could be decades, however, until mining operations are fully established.
What is fascinating about this story here, astrologically, is pioneering Mars in earth-sign Virgo is now powerfully applying to an exact trine (harmonious) to Pluto in earth-sign Capricorn. This is a MAJOR transforming aspect. Pluto rules the mining industry and what is hidden in the earth. Capricorn, too, rules government and this discovery will fundamentally impact or transform (Pluto) the Afghan people and government probably forever. Mars
Very interesting too that this news is coming out with Venus trining the life altering Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in the discovery and war sign of Aries. As I’ve been writing all along, Jupiter-Uranus is huge for discoveries and surprising developments.
June 14th birthdays: Donald Trump, Dorothy McGuire
Cosmic Word of The Day: “Pompous.” We’re feeling a little bit more this way with Venus’s beautiful ingress into proud Leo.
Enjoy your Monday! Hope you fall head over heels today! Give me a report.
