Astrology June 1, 2011: New Moon Solar Eclipse in Gemini

COSMIC WATCH:

“The Moon shuts off the beams of the Sun as it passes across it, and darkens so much of the earth as the breath of the blue-eyed Moon amounts to.” Empedocles

The New Moon today at 11 degrees of communicative, idea-minded Gemini (5:03 pm EDT) is also a Solar Eclipse. It is the first of three eclipses that we will be having over the course of the next month (the others are June 15th and July 1st). While a New Moon symbolizes new beginnings, a Solar Eclipse denotes endings, so we will be experiencing a mix of both here.

Eclipses are traditionally viewed in astrology as potentially high-impact events with their influence lasting for up to six months, although the “biggest pop” from them often occurs right when they happen, or within a few days before or after the event. In my own life, for instance, I have had major events happen on eclipse days, so I have learned to dole out to them a healthy level of respect and reverence.

We also need to be mindful of the house (or area of life) in our personal horoscope that this Solar Eclipse is falling in, to get a greater awareness for its meaning and possible impact, as that sphere of life is being highly activated now. Also, very importantly, we need to note whether or not the lunation is making aspects to other planets or to important angles (ASC, MC) in our chart. If it is, chances are good that we will be feeling more of the potency of the Eclipse. Especially sensitized now are planets or points in the chart at 8 to 14 degrees of the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces).

Today’s lunation is harmoniously trine to responsible, stabilizing Saturn, with Saturn representing the safety or security urge, so it could be that overall conditions in our lives may improve, that we are able to advance or forge ahead, to some degree, or that some of our pet projects may finally be able to gain traction.We may also just feel more self-confident about our ability to handle difficult or problematic situations now, as Saturn can give us firm resolve and determination, which, at the end of the day, can be a huge thing (“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he,” from the Book of Proverbs).

Saturn is also in partnership Libra, the sign of diplomacy and also where it is exalted, suggesting the period ahead may be constructive for effectively broaching our more serious (Saturn) relationship issues, including discussing perhaps matters of commitment. (On a collective level, this Eclipse may also be a very good period for attempts at waging diplomacy between countries.)

It may also be an especially good time for having “boundary-type (Saturn) discussions” (Gemini) in which we detail to others what our needs and wants are within the confines of our relationships (Libra), in an effort to have more meaningful, healthy unions that function better. Saturn, on the whole, is concerned with matters of self-preservation, fortifying our positions, and creating practical efficiencies, and these things are often achieved through honest, serious confrontations, in which we speak the truth. Discerning Saturn helps foster within us a more mature, insightful outlook, as well as bestowing a modicum of wisdom and caution based on our experiences.

The lunation in communicator Gemini also helps to kindle a sincere desire for discussion, learning, and sharing our thoughts and ideas, and it can also inspire brilliance within us. Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, will also be exiting slower, more deliberate Taurus for Gemini, the day after this Eclipse, which should also help to boost or speed up our cognitive abilities.

Saturn has also been retrograde since January but is getting ready to move direct in Libra on June 12th, another indicator that we may be able to leap forward with our goals, especially in the relationship realm, after, hopefully, knowing more about  what we want for ourselves (Saturn retrograde is a time of reflection). If we are also seeking to expand our scope of close relationships, or business ties, Saturn’s enabling ray may be a positive factor in helping attract to us more anchoring type individuals who help us to feel more grounded. Saturn specifically denotes older, more experienced type persons, or at least, more serious types.

In some cases, too, today’s Eclipse may set the stage for the pruning away (Saturn) of ties (and situations) that are no longer needed, or that have run their natural course. Of course, sometimes these relationships can also come to an end against our wishes.

Perhaps a positive assist and inspiration here for dealing with any difficult endings or transitions now is the flexible Gemini Moon itself, which helps to give us greater adaptability with respect to coping with change. The intellectual Moon in Gemini is less weighed down by emotional baggage and has a much easier time detaching from its feelings (the trine to Saturn also again helps us to psychologically pare down).

Gemini perpetually seeks out new experiences as new options for growth. In the body, Gemini fittingly rules the lungs and the breath. The constant inhaling and exhaling process perfectly depicts the restless, curious, interactive nature of this sign, and also addresses and showcases how many of us may be feeling now with this Eclipse, that we must keep moving, taking in new sights and new ideas, exhaling yesterday’s experiences, viewpoints and opinions, as old news, no longer relevant.

In general, today’s Solar Eclipse in “I think” Gemini is a big boon for any writing, reading, or research projects, as Gemini loves disseminating and collecting information. It also favors public speaking engagements, stand up comedy acts, travel (especially short trips), involvement in social media activities, events with siblings, taking or teaching new classes, learning new languages, expanding our vocabulary, purchasing phone equipment, and attending to transportation (Gemini) matters.

Famous people with Moon in Gemini: Bette Davis, Roseanne Barr, George Carlin, Goldie Hawn, Fred Astaire, Gwyneth Paltrow.

NEWS UPDATE: Interestingly, on the eve of this Gemini Eclipse, a big communication (Gemini) news story has just come out about cell phones and how they may possibly cause brain cancer. The World Health Organization (WHO) said some cell phones are as dangerous as lead and engine exhaust. The FCC and FDA, however, say they are safe. (From KABC Los Angeles, link to story down below).

Also, more communications news: Today Sprint Nextel Corp reportedly filed a petition with the FCC to block AT&T and T-Mobile USA’s merger plans (bizjournals.com)

Enjoy this exciting Eclipse Day! Set powerful intentions.

COSMIC WEATHER:

“That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.” Abraham Lincoln

We have a “trifecta” of a day today with the galloping Gemini Moon sextiling Mercury (ideas), Jupiter (opportunity), and Mars (initiative) in “race to the finish line” Aries. This is a fantastic time to unabashedly promote ourselves (Aries), our pet projects, and our ideas (Gemini). We can be much more convincing now and much more enthusiastically received. Very likely to make a positive first impression.

Also, communicator Mercury’s conjunction to “goddess of love and beauty” Venus bodes well for “affairs of the heart” and discussion of romance.  It can also be a highly creative influence. An ideal day for writing (Gemini). Might also be an excellent time to go shopping for clothes or things of beauty for the home (art, decorative items). The Moon also shifts into homebody Cancer, late in the day (10:32 pm EDT), forming a cocooning trine to fantasy Neptune (11:54 pm EDT).

Famous Taurus Birthdays May 6th: Tony Blair (58), George Clooney (Big 5-0!) Love you, George! With all of my heart. Hope it’s a good one. 🙂

Astrology April 11, 2011: Mars Square Pluto, Mercury Conjunct Jupiter

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Life’s challenges are not suppose to paralyze you, they’re suppose to help you discover who you are.” Bernice Johnson Reagon

Mixed bag of nuts today. We have the potent “Mars square Pluto” aspect exact (4:36 pm EDT). This influence has been applying for the last several days. Mars, ruler of our self-assertion and drive, can passionately empower us to take on formidable challenges, when aligned with intense, controlling Pluto. Mars-Pluto is perennially linked with wanting to wield power and influence in the world. (Oprah Winfrey has this aspect exact in her personal horoscope.) We need to make sure, however, that we don’t overtax ourselves or surpass our limits with this aspect. Too, we would be very wise to avoid power struggles, shoving matches, taunting behavior, etc. On the shadow side, Mars-Pluto can awaken and unleash our “inner bully.”

Mars-Pluto can also be “very transforming” energy, with Pluto ruling regeneration. Again, as I mentioned the other day in my blog on Pluto stationing retrograde, this is an excellent time to “wipe the slate clean” and  to purge or eliminate what isn’t working in our lives.

Retrograde Mercury, ruler of our thoughts, is also back into an exact conjunction with “optimistic” Jupiter (11:59 pm EDT), ruler of philosophy and our higher beliefs and vision, academia, long-distance travel. On the plus side, the Mercury-Jupiter influence can make us more enthusiastic and upbeat, more high-minded in our thinking (a nice antidote for the Mars-Pluto “bully” mentality). Mercury-Jupiter is also an excellent time for writing.

The shadow side of this same aspect is we can become too boastful or arrogant (Jupiter). Too, with the Mars-Pluto aspect as a backdrop, this is probably not a good time to get into arguments over philosophical (Jupiter) differences, as they could very well escalate. Also, if we have any public presentations or speeches (Mercury) to make, we will want to make sure that we have “all the facts” straight ahead of time (Mercury-Jupiter tends to exaggerate), in case we later get “called on the carpet” (stickler Pluto). However, if we do diligently cover our bases, we could be very compelling and persuasive as a speaker (or writer) now, especially if we sprinkle in some of the famous “Jupiterian” humor.

BTW, do you think you have a good sense of humor? May want to check out the positioning of Jupiter in your chart and see how it’s linked up to the personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus or Mars; or the Ascendant; or 3rd or 9th houses) for further astrological insight and confirmation. We mentioned Oprah Winfrey earlier, she also has her Mercury (communication) trine Jupiter in her horoscope, so she has no problem seeing humor in things. Too, that endows her with natural ability to make people laugh. (Mercury-Jupiter is also the hallmark of a teacher or preacher.) Comedian David Letterman (who has a birthday tomorrow) also has his Mercury exactly trine his natal Jupiter. David is also a writer and that is excellent for that outlet. Funny man, and also writer, Woody Allen, has his Sun conjunct Jupiter, a similar influence-type influence, as does James Garner, who I have always regarded as very funny.)

“A sense of humor… is needed armor. Joy in one’s heart and some laughter on one’s lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.” Hugh Sidey

Famous Birthdays April 11: Ethel Kennedy (83), Joel Grey (79)

In the News: With the potent “game-changing” Mars-Pluto aspect exact today, fascinatingly, one of the news headlines this morning is about President Obama’s big “press conference” that is slated for this Wednesday. Obama will be unveiling his package of proposed spending cuts for the future, including proposed cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, and changes to Social Security, in a bid to tackle this nation’s deficit crisis (Pluto rules debt). Higher taxes (ruled by Pluto) are also reportedly going to be proposed for the wealthy. (Wall Street Journal)

In announcing the details of his press conference, President Obama is also effectively “transforming” his image (the “reforming” Mars-Pluto energy) to a certain extent, by letting it be known that he is planning on shifting his policies around. Sometimes, too, with Mars-Pluto, we also suffer a “fierce backlash.” Surely there will be factions (the far left? the elderly?) who will not be pleased with his proposals.

Patrice Astrology March 11, 2011: “Major Shift” Uranus enters Aries

10 Thursday Mar 2011

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Change is inevitable – except from a vending machine.” Robert C. Gallagher

The big day has finally arrived! Unpredictable Uranus, the “rebel planet of change,” officially enters action-packed Aries (7:50 pm EST), the cardinal, fire sign of “new beginnings.” Uranus, which is also associated with genius and invention, will stay in Aries for the next 7 years. (Uranus was already briefly here last year, from late May until mid-August, before retrograding back into Pisces.)

Of course, so much has already been written about this planet’s ingress into Aries that I am not going to expound too much more about it here, except to say that I believe it very well could signal a “major shift” in our collective consciousness. Uranus is linked with “liberation” or being “set free” and deposited in adventurous, impulsive Aries it would seem that it would have the overall net affect of making us more assertive (Mars rules Aries) in going after what we desire. Aries as a sign does not want to be held back or restrained in any way, and is willing to fight for what it wants and believes in.  It has a strong “survivalist” mentality. Too, the psychology of Aries is much more self-focused with the keywords for the sign being: “I am.” Of course, electrifying Uranus is also correlated with individualism, so the placement in “self-discovery” Aries is a good fit.

Too, we have already seen the events that have occurred with expansive Jupiter’s movement into “fighter” Aries, late January, which has correlated with the political revolt and uprisings in the Middle East, with the citizenry there seeking more personal freedom and empowerment for themselves (this movement also got underway just as warrior Mars entered group-oriented Aquarius). Also, in the U.S. we have had the vitriolic political revolt in Wisconsin, which came to a head quickly yesterday, as intellectual Mercury moved into fiery Aries and the Republicans hastily, and boldly, passed the controversial bill that strips away almost all collective bargaining rights for Wisconsin state employees. The Aries energy is sort of akin to the discovery spirit of the pioneer of the old Wild West. It’s very gutsy and daring. Full of fearless, self-confidence. (Too, we have ruthless Pluto in governmental Capricorn as a backdrop here. Pluto rules debt and purging and is characteristically very controlling.)

We will also want to see what house (or area of life) in our own horoscope that Uranus is currently passing through, to shed light on how it may be impacting us on a personal level. For instance, we may be feeling more of a “shift” or “call to action” now with respect to the specific affairs of that house. This energizing by Uranus will likely continue, too, for a long time to come. Included here: A real desire to show the world “what makes us tick” as individuals. Again, all this can be very positive, as Uranus tends to propel us out of our ruts and along the path of our authenticity. The shadow side of Uranus is that it can, initially at least,  be very disruptive, especially if we resist making needed changes.

Uranus also rules innovation, science, and technology (including the internet). I expect that with Uranus in pioneering Aries we will see amazing new discoveries and advancements in both of these areas, probably coming to us at lightning (Uranus) speed.

Aside from Uranus moving into Aries today, we also have the daily Moon entering chatty, restless Gemini (12:32 am EST). A time when we will want to put our minds into overdrive to match the Uranian bolt into Aries. Reading, writing, social networking – all forms of communication get the green light, especially during the late evening hours (EST) when the Moon makes favorable aspects to philosophical Jupiter (8:32 pm) and romantic Venus (11:39 pm). Of course, the Moon-Venus influence is all about making a solid “love connection.” Including putting our feelings into words (Moon in Gemini).

News Update: We had an 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan today and resultant tsunamis worldwide. Uranus is associated with earthquakes. So, at least on the surface, it appears that we are not the only ones making “major shifts” now – the earth is also shifting its energies around!

Too, could the earthquake in Japan be a preview of Uranus setting the stage for what’s to come during its energetic passage through action-packed Aries? Let’s certainly hope not! There’s also not any reason to believe that this will be the case either. However, he has definitely gotten all of our attention, hasn’t he? If indeed Uranus even has anything to do with today’s chaotic events. We are only conjecturing here that it does because of the timing.

For a point of reference, too: When Uranus first moved into Pisces, several years ago, is the very day that the war in Iraq started, which was symbolically a devastating quake of another kind. It could be that Uranus unleashes more palpable disruption, at the point when it’s changing signs, in keeping with his more volatile, unsteady nature. Also, this is just an observation of mine here. I always note, too, when major planets change signs to discern the “shift in energy” patterns. Technically, too, Uranus is still in watery Pisces (ruling the ocean and the tsunamis) until 7:50 pm EST today, although when a major planet does switch signs, there is a transition period ahead of time when you can already start to feel its affects and today we are exactly on that crossover border. Of course, our prayers go out to those who are suffering from this tragic, natural disaster. Just read that hundreds of lives have already been lost by the tsunamis. This is a very sad day for many. We must all pull together.

Famous Birthdays March 11th: Rupert Murdoch (80), Antonin Scalia (75).

Patrice Celestial February 11, 2011: “Foggy Vision” Daily Horoscope

“Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.” Shaquille O’Neal

COSMIC WEATHER:

The anchoring, enduring Taurus Moon forms a challenging square to nebulous Neptune (1:51 pm EST), perhaps making our vision a tad foggy or murky. It could be that we “know not what we do,” during this time period. That our physical forms are merely along for the ride, as our tender minds wander aimlessly along. 🙂

However, this pea soup veil is soon lifted with the Moon’s sextile to genius Uranus which can bestow upon our moist little brains a bright idea or two (2:28 pm EST), and potentially show us a clear way out of our perceived difficulties. The sextile to Uranus also sets up nearly a three-hour void of course Moon phase that ends with the Moon’s entrance into restless, mentally curious Gemini (5:22 pm EST). During the Moon’s “v-o-c period,” it is best to attend to routine matters instead of initiating new projects. The Gemini Moon perennially favors reading, writing, conversation and social networking.

Patricia’s Astrology: Mercury-Neptune, Mercury-Uranus January 10, 2011

“I can’t understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I’m frightened of the old ones.” John Cage

Cosmic Weather:

The Moon exits contemplative Pisces for pioneering Aries (10:24 am EST). A time when we want to be starting something new and exciting in our lives. We also have intellectual Mercury, in enthusiastic Sagittarius, square to non-conforming Uranus, the planet of sudden change, which is in idealistic Pisces. This potent aspect tends to foster the formation of more radical ideas, or radical thinking. The nature of Uranus is generally more rebellious. Uranus likes to play the devil’s advocate, too. Mercury-Uranus can confer brilliance upon us. Uranus characteristically speeds up our thinking. But, at the same time, it can also be a more mentally unstable and erratic time for us, as we get these instant revelations and then suddenly they’re gone. It could be that we want to avoid making snap decisions, and also hold off acting on any of our sudden, genius insights, for a few days. Wait until they have had some time to distill or gel.

Additionally, we have Mercury sextile to mystic guru Neptune, with Neptune ruling our link to the divine and also our psychic ability. This aspect may generate more of an intellectual desire to seek out more spiritually-based activities. Perhaps we may want to read more inspirational material, or books on psychic development. Or, try psychic experiments, which is something that I personally love to do. Neptune also rules our dreams, so this is an ideal time for paying closer attention to our dreams now, and trying to unravel their magical symbolism. Dreams can often foretell our future, if we are but able to glean their meaning. Dream study is also a great way, in general, for staying connected with our subconscious, or what’s going on below the surface of our conscious awareness.

I remember, years ago, I had a very vivid dream about boarding a train in my home town. On this train, I met a man, and rode with him for the duration of the train ride, which seemed to last forever. At the end of the dream, however, that man stayed on the train, but I got off of it. When I woke up from that dream, I intuitively immediately knew that I was going to be “meeting a man” soon in my waking life. Well, within a week, I met my husband! But, it wasn’t on a train. It was in a radio station in my home town. I was on the air doing a call-in astrology show. My life – my personal journey – of course, changed forever, when I met Daniel, and we did, indeed, embark on an extended “life trip” with each other for twenty years, until his early death from cancer. Our relationship also ended up permanently taking me away, geographically, from my birthplace, as the two of us eventually settled far away from where I was born. I was thinking this morning, too, how in the dream, I got off the train by myself, perhaps indicating that my real life journey would later include living without my husband physically by my side. BTW, years ago, I did do intuitive dream interpretation on the radio with listeners, when I had my own radio show.

Neptune additionally governs our imagination and creativity. This influence should considerably help to elevate or boost our creativity, and also help with our powers of visualization. Excellent day for any creative writing project (Mercury rules words), especially with the simultaneous Mercury-Uranus aspect, which can provide us with unique, original insights, along with a good measure of quirky thoughts, which can also sometimes be kind of cool. Neptune also rules imagery, so it’s a fantastic day for painting or photography.

On a personal note, as I mentioned several days ago, I am going to be changing some things with my blog, this year. While I have enjoyed writing the daily horoscopes, I am going to begin doing them on a weekly basis instead. I want more time to focus on other writing projects for a while. Also, there’s the matter of making more time, hopefully, for a life with George Clooney in 2011. Ever the optimist here! 🙂  Too, I still plan on writing special articles on the lunations, planets changing signs, etc. here.
