COSMIC WEATHER:

“In his holy flirtation with the world, God occasionally drops a handkerchief. These handkerchiefs are called saints.” Frederick Buechner

With popes and beatification in the news, and would-be kings, it could be that Mars is aligned with Jupiter above! Mars and Jupiter are, indeed, conjunct in pioneering Aries now, and have been so for the last few days. This aspect is finally exact to the dot today (12:26 am EDT).

Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius (sign of religion and philosophy) and co-ruler of spiritual Pisces (ruler of saints), presides over affairs of royalty and and also clergyman, including religious figures such as the pope. Of course, we had the royal wedding on Friday of Kate Middleton and Prince William, and today, Pope Benedict XVI beatified Pope John Paul the II, bringing the late pontiff one step closer to sainthood. More than a million people descended on St. Peter’s Square and surrounding areas to partake in the event. Kate and Williams’s wedding was viewed by 2.6 billion people.

Expansive, grandiose Jupiter, associated with pomp and circumstance, generally wants everything done on a large, lavish scale. Part of his “perennially thinking big” mindset and orientation. Jupiter denotes the philosophy of optimism. “If you can believe it, you can achieve it bro! Don’t fret your poor self with worry over the pending charge account statement. You only go around once! You gotta’ live it up!” 🙂

With energizer Mars conjoined with jolly Jupiter, it is much easier for us now to get carried away with our dreams and enthusiasm, especially in “unstoppable” Aries, the sign of “act first, think later.” So, we may want to make sure that we are adding in at least some measure of common sense with our actions, so we don’t disappoint later, or bite off more than we can chew, in our glorious quest to get ahead and our name on the marquis.

With that said, this is a fantastic time for self-promotion and for selling ourselves. Too, we can even inject some Jupiterian humor into the situation, like President Obama did last night at the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington DC.

I was checking, last night, and it appears that we have only had this Mars-Jupiter conjunction in Aries two or three times in the past 100 years or so, although these two planets meet up every couple years by conjunction. So today’s exact event is very rare. Too, we also have the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Uranus in Aries, the official sign of new beginnings. We will also not have this many planets in Aries again for many years, at least 12+ years or more. Also, the Aries Moon is simultaneously conjunct both Jupiter (10:51 am EDT) and Mars (11:21 am EDT) adding even more icing on our personality cakes.

What this all means, to me, is we have a golden, and again, very rare opportunity to re-design and re-invent ourselves now in unprecedented ways. Aries is about self-discovery, and also turning over a new leaf. If we have maybe been feeling down in the dumps, we need to somehow find a way to re-kindle our passions again today, and attempt to make our lives spectacular and magnificent, on the grand, lavish scale of Mars-Jupiter. To have the world around us take notice of us for our crowing achievements and singular contributions for the good of humanity. Even if we may initially only be a “big fish in a small pond.” At least, it’s a beginning! And, we’ll also do Mars-Jupiter proud! May the “Mars-Jupiter force,” be with you today!

In Memory of John Lennon: John and Yoko’s Wedding Horoscope

08 Wednesday Dec 2010

Below is a post that I wrote in March 2010 about John Lennon and Yoko Ono‘s wedding horoscope. (They married March 20, 1969). In wake of the 30th anniversary of his death today, I thought I would re-run it. Missing you, John.

“When people get cynical about love, they should look at us [Yoko and John Lennon] and see it is possible.” Yoko Ono.

March 20, 1969 marks the 41st wedding anniversary of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.  The colorful pair married in front of the Rock of Gibraltar in a ceremony that lasted only ten minutes.  Shortly afterwards, the newlyweds flew to Amsterdam, Holland where they set up quarters in the Presidential Suite at the Hilton.  There, for one week, they had the first of two “bed-ins for peace.”

At the hotel, they had a receiving line for the press, gave interviews, answered questions. Not your typical honeymoon fare activities, but then again, John (Libra) and Yoko (Aquarian) were never your “typical couple.”

In their astrological wedding chart that day (time unknown), insatiable Jupiter was exactly conjoined non-conforming Uranus in Libra. Libra is the zodiacal sign of marriage.  This potent influence suggested that their partnership would always tend to be “out of the ordinary.” Having these two planets prominent, there would characteristically be a large appetite (Jupiter) and enthusiasm for doing things differently, wanting to rebelliously break with tradition (Uranus), within the confines of their marriage (Libra).

The Sun was also opposite (stressful) Jupiter and Uranus in their horoscope, again reiterating a need for freedom and a tendency to excessive behaviors. The Sun-Uranus influence also, unfortunately, hinted at the chance for a sudden end to the marriage, as the nature of Uranus is often disruptive. The Sun also governs the husband in a wedding chart.

Mercury (communication) was in idealistic, imaginative Pisces. That tended to intellectually attune them more to the humanistic issues of the collective.  The  Neptune-ruled Pisces mindset, at its highest expression, is intrinsically about dissolving all boundaries, demonstrating selfless love and compassion for each other, peacefully co-existing. It endlessly envisions the world “as one,” just like John perpetually sang about.

Also in their marriage chart, the Sun (purpose) was exactly trine (harmonious) Neptune, again reinforcing that same hopeful theme.  The Sun-Neptune tie also gave the union more of a mystical, otherworldy quality to it.  Neptune denotes our link to the Divine.

Too, in wake of John’s tragic, sudden departure from the world, Yoko’s marriage to John has maybe, understandably, ended up becoming something “larger than life” for her, something that she has perhaps idealized and placed atop a pedestal.  Characteristically with Neptune, we tend to worship and glorify our partners.  And, of course, in Yoko’s case, she has had to live a life largely minus John’s physical presence.  She maybe has cultivated a rich “spiritual union” with him which would be consistent with the “illusory” Sun Neptune energy. Neptune rules illusion and imagination, as well as the ethereal realms.

Idealistic Mercury in Pisces was also square (inner tension) to opinionated Mars (the warrior) in Sagittarius in the chart.  Mars shows our enthusiasms and passions.  It also represents our aggressive urge. When it is in philosophical Sagittarius, we can become almost fanatical in our beliefs and often feel a deep need to proselytize others to bring them aboard our same wavelength. We can also be very controversial and blunt in our comments, as Mercury governs our speech and Mars in Sagittarius acts very spontaneously.

Additionally, in their wedding chart, Venus, the planet of love and marriage, was in fiery, adventurous Aries conjoined with dutiful Saturn.  Venus-Saturn ties often indicate “karmic relationships” in which we feel a deep sense of responsibility, obligation, and loyalty to each other.  Saturn is regarded as the “Lord of Karma” in astrology. This is because he often brings us those more difficult lessons in life that we need to learn and experience in order to evolve and achieve our higher purposes. During the course of their marriage, too, John and Yoko had plenty of Saturnian ups and downs, trials and tribulations, and even an 18-month separation.  Too, in the beginning, their very union alienated them from the public and many Beatles’ fans.  But despite everything, it managed to endure.

On another level,  the Venus placement in the sign of Aries showed, too, that the couple would tend to enjoy “active pursuits” and “pioneering endeavors” that would garner attention to themselves. Venus not only rules love relationships, it also rules what we love to do.  Aries as a sign focuses much of its attention on its own self-identity and self-discovery.

Actually, Venus in Aries can contain elements of narcissism to it  – making us a little too much enthralled with our own self-image. Of course, when John and Yoko were together, they were both young and still discovering themselves, both individually and as a couple.  And, they were both very famous, so they wanted to naturally capitalize on their fame and use it as a springboard to further their more noble, impersonal causes for the collective.

Patricia’s Daily Astrology Horoscope July 31, 2010: Chelsea Weds

31 Saturday Jul 2010

“I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach.” Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“Cosmic Word of The Day”: Wedding

Definition: 1) the act or ceremony of marrying; marriage; nuptials 2) the act or an instance of blending or joining, esp. opposite or contrasting elements

Origin: bef. 900; ME; OE weddung


COSMIC WEATHER:

It’s finally the grand day of Chelsea Clinton’s “storybook wedding!” A widely heralded event that has much of the collective fixated. And, most assuredly, the proudest moment in both Bill and Hillary’s lives.

Chelsea Clinton, the sweet little Pisces girl that America and the rest of the world has lovingly watched grow up into adulthood, has now become an educated, sophisticated, and beautiful young woman, poised to unite forever with the man of her dreams, Marc Mezvinsky, a Sagittarian investment banker on Wall Street, who owns an apartment on Fifth Avenue and who also hails from political bloodlines. The two have known each other since childhood, which makes today’s occasion even more sentimental and romantic, in my opinion.

Exclusively for this celebrated gathering, Lord of Karma Saturn, which is exalted, and at its finest in matrimonial Libra, becomes a dramatic focal point in the glorious heavens with an exact, energizing conjunction from impassioned Mars, something that hasn’t happened since 1982, when Chelsea was only two years old, and well before the beaming “Father of the Bride,” Bill Clinton, became the 42nd U.S. President.

Wherever Mars travels by zodiacal sign, he accentuates the affairs ruled by that sign, and now, newly-arrived in the marriage sign of Libra, and conjoined with Wise Old Father Time Saturn, Mars has all of our eyes riveted on Chelsea’s pending union.

Also for this singular occasion, Jupiter, the planet of abundance, is in trailblazing Aries, and in exact square to Power Mogul Pluto, stationed in the prestigious, achievement-oriented sign of Capricorn the Goat, an influence that has no doubt played a central role, along with Protocol King Saturn, in social Libra, to fashion a much-ballyhooed guest list for this event that includes some of the most powerful and potent “movers and shakers” on the planet, all converging at the same point, at the same moment in time, in Rhinebeck, New York.

This influential Jupiter-Pluto aspect is also getting “A-guest-list support” today from the Exciting Aries Moon, which is tossing a harmonious trine to the very Glamorous and Regal Leo Sun, which is further helping to reportedly reign in a bevy of Hollywood stars and celebrities for the wedding, including Steven Spielberg, Barbara Walters, and Oprah. Also, the glitzy congregation is said to include the incomparable Queen of Song, my gal, Barbra Streisand.

A digressing footnote here: Barbra’s horoscope and my own natal horoscope are very similar.  Both of us are Taurus Suns, with Leo Moons conjunct lone wolf Pluto, and both of us have fiery, adventurous Aries risings. Her rising is 8 Aries, while mine is 2 Aries. I believe our personalities and senses of humor are also very similar from what I have publicly seen of her over the years in the media.  I also totally approve  of her taste in men: James Brolin! If only I could be so lucky, romantically, and had just a mere fraction of her material wealth, I know I’d be one happy camper.

Back to the wedding. Adding even more to the fanfare today, Inspirational Jupiter, which also rules religion and philosophy, is additionally conjoined now with Futuristic, Diversity Agent Uranus, deposited in Pioneering Aries. While this memorable wedding ceremony is taking place between Chelsea, who is Methodist, and Marc, who is Jewish, there will simultaneously, no doubt, continue to be a goodly number of bloggers, and others weighing in, on the matter of interfaith marriages, an issue that Mars and Saturn in Libra, is also helping once again to resurrect now, with their activating opposition to both Jupiter and Uranus. It has not been revealed whether Chelsea will follow her husband’s conservative Jewish faith.

In some ways, pitting the old, customary, Saturnian traditions against the rapidly changing, new, Uranian order of things. Even the wedding menu is largely vegetarian, and the wedding cake, reportedly gluten-free. Although, there will still be the meticulously orchestrated, majestic pageantry of the wedding itself, so dutifully safeguarded by Protocol-Minded Saturn in partnership Libra. Chelsea Clinton will most likely, too, surely look stunning in her $25,000 Vera Wang bridal gown.

“I think with our problems with hopelessness and cynicism that (the solution) ultimately has to come from the young people themselves.  We’ve got to realize we are the future and we make of our future what we make of it, and ultimately we have to do it for ourselves.” Chelsea Clinton

“Many are the stars I see, but in my eye no star like thee.” English saying

Famous July 31st Leo Birthdays: J.K. Rowling (45), Wesley Snipes (48)

Enjoy your Saturday!

Congratulations, Chelsea and Marc! Best Wishes and Much Love. Also, truly happy for Bill and Hillary.

I’ll be back by here again soon.  My schedule is hectic, but leave a light on. For both me and George Clooney, of course. Miracles do occur. The main thing is that we continue to fervently believe in their possibility with every fiber of our being.

Adios!
