“It’s a lack of clarity that creates chaos and frustration. Those emotions are poison to any living goal.” Steve Maraboli

Today’s Energy:

While the Moon remains in “grounding” Taurus all day, intellectual Mercury is forming a quinqunx to “vague” Neptune. The challenge with this aspect is to strive to be as clear as possible in our thinking as we can, while conceding at the same time that we may not be in possession of all the information that we would like to have to craft our decisions. The phrase “on a wing and a prayer” comes to mind here. Mercury-Neptune is also specifically associated with “wishful thinking” due to the fantasy nature of Neptune.

Questions for Today: How do you differentiate between “positive thinking” and “wishful thinking?” In general, how comfortable are you at “winging it?” What do you typically do – what steps do you take – to gain greater clarity on matters?

Astrology October 3, 2011: Mars Squares Jupiter

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon shifts from adventurous Sagittarius into controlled, responsible Capricorn (4:16 am EDT) although we still may be a little “over the top” today, as we have energizer Mars in ostentatious Leo forming a square to excessive Jupiter (the ruler of Sagittarius) in self-indulgent Taurus. Mars-Jupiter aspects tend to correlate with our going overboard. Or, wanting to do things on a lavish scale. Fascinatingly, Jupiter is also associated with royalty and when we had both Mars and Jupiter exactly conjunct in Aries, last spring, is when we had the elaborate Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Historically, Mars-Jupiter aspects are also linked with fanaticism or overzealous behavior, as we can become much more impassioned (Mars) about our beliefs or philosophy of life (Jupiter) with this influence.  Of course, with Mars ruling the aggressive urge, there is also the potential for our “martial impulses” to get out of hand, especially with the more frictional square alignment. Accordingly, it may be wise to keep ourselves on a fairly short leash today and to make a point to remember, and to display, our Libra manners.

Another complicating factor today is mental Mercury is also forming a 135-degree link to psychedelic Neptune which can blur or skew our thought processes.  The best advisory here may be to go with what is most logical for us to do and to avoid, altogether, the “wishful thinking” zone.

“Stop the habit of wishful thinking and start the habit of thoughtful wishes.” Mary Martin

Enjoy your Monday!

Astrology September 8, 2011: Mercury Opposes Fantasy Neptune

COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon’s ingress into innovative, change-oriented Aquarius (5:43 am EDT) makes a case for trying out new approaches or strategies as we navigate our day. In fact, we are privy to a double-dose of cutting-edge Aquarian energy, at least the first half of the day, as we also have the Moon favorably sextiling Uranus, the planetary ruler of Aquarius (11:54 am EDT). Uranus governs science and technology and its ray is often implicated in breakthrough discoveries. This planet and the sign of Aquarius are also linked with group activities and humanitarian causes. Too, we still have the Sun and Venus in service-oriented Virgo. Virgo is also very research-minded and analytical, which should serve as a supportive backdrop for the inquisitive Moon in Aquarius energy both today and tomorrow.

Of course, to keep us on our toes, the Universe is also mischievously waving a big red flag at us today via mental Mercury’s third and final opposition to fantasy Neptune.  While this influence can be a windfall for endeavors that rely on imagination, such as art, music, and photography, we do need to be more astute regarding the people that we trust and or let into our inner circle. Also, maybe more skeptical about all that we hear now, especially if things seem a little fishy or too good to be true. Neptune, on the shadow side, is linked with deception and or delusion, including the self-generated kind.

“We are inclined to believe those whom we do not know because they have never deceived us.” Samuel Johnson

News Update With an Astrological Spin : With the Aquarian Moon exactly sextile hi-tech Uranus mid-day, it was announced that Google has agreed to buy Zagat for an undisclosed price, the longtime guide to restaurants around the country (NYT.com). Too, we do still have enterprising Mars in food-related Cancer, which rules the restaurant industry.

Daily Intention: I am looking at my world from a fresh perspective today and eagerly mapping out new avenues to explore.

Enjoy your Thursday!
