Cosmic Weather:
It’s sort of like we’re driving a car with the brakes on today. It may be hard to get very far! Yes, the cruel Universe has us dealing with the ravages of “Sun square Saturn” (9:01 am EST). With the old fart (Saturn) trying to slow us down, beat us up, and pummel us at every turn. 🙂
Of course, there are some positives here: We’re building character. Learning to be wise and patient, in the face of inordinate odds and restrictions. We’re also learning how to postpone our gratification. Etc., etc.
Success is not totally out of the picture. But, we may have to work much harder for it. Such is the seemingly wicked nature of taskmaster Saturn. Too, sometimes with Sun-Saturn, some of our enterprises go belly-up for good. No real point in reviving them, either. It may be best to just cut our losses, and move on. On to bigger and better.
Fortunately for us, too, love maven Venus exits “always panting” Scorpio for “Please, just let me be free and unshackled again. That’s all I ask,” Sagittarius (7:31 am EST). Friends and acquaintances provide us with some measure of pleasure now. Impromptu and cheery Venus in Sadge does loves to have fun. Too, with Sun square Saturn lurking around today, at least we’ll be able to duly commiserate with each other in a refreshing way. Maybe even be able to see the humor in all the Saturnian gloom and doom.
Later, the bewitching Moon, up in the mysterious night sky, departs “strange bird” Aquarius for, “Let’s all just hug each other and drink till we drop,” Pisces (9:57 pm EST). “How does that sound? Like a pretty good plan?” Something we may all have to do, too, after a dire day with, “You can’t always get what you want,” Saturn. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We’ve heard all that before. We also know what’s coming next: “But, if you try sometimes, oh you just may find, you get what you need… Baby!” Yeah, yeah. Can’t you (Saturn) just go away? Always hovering around us with your diabolical rings. Don’t you have another place that you can go to for a while? Won’t anyone else take you in? Have you tried your mother?

The late great Jim Morrison was right: People are strange! Especially this morning, when we have the oddball Aquarius Moon semi-square to quirky Uranus (10:35 am EST). And, the Moon is also forming a semi-square to, “Hey, buddy, all I’m doing is thinking large” Jupiter (11:05 am EST). “Got a problem with that?” We prevail today by letting other people do their own thing, while privately scratching our heads and rolling our eyes.
Later on, we also have the Moon parallel to spaced out, hippie beads Neptune (3:58 pm EST). However, these psychedelic vibes fade away fast, and our feet are put back on the ground, when the Moon trines stabilizer Saturn (8:00 pm EST). A period when a more desirable “state of normalcy” is seemingly conjured up. Also a time when we can go full-speed ahead, with the formulation of our detailed plans, for a bright future with George Clooney in 2011. 🙂
Possible questions to ask ourselves today:
How do we feel about people who are strange? Do we try to figure them out, get entangled with them in any way, perhaps out of curiosity? Or, do we just leave them alone?
Who are some of the strangest people we have ever met?
Do we perceive ourselves to be a little bit different than the mainstream?
(Strange types, eccentrics, etc. are often depicted in a horoscope by planets in Aquarius, and major aspects to Uranus and or Neptune.)

“To laugh often and love much…to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to give one’s self…this is to have succeeded.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love goddess Venus, governing money and relationships, flits into friendly, high-flying Sagittarius on January 7th, where she will stay until February 4th. In Sadge, we become more freedom-loving, more lighthearted. We turn off the surveillance cameras (installed during Venus in Scorpio), because we are no longer naturally suspicious. We are much more trusting with this Venus placement, wanting to believe the best in others. We are also back to openly flirting and joking around. However, please don’t try to tie us down. There’s way too much of the world to see, and so little time. We are capable of commitment, but we would definitely prefer to be friends first.
Venus in Sagittarius does love to travel and explore, so this is a good period for us to book that flight or cruise, and get away. Sadge Venus also has a soft spot for people from other cultures. There can be a real love of languages, learning, philosophy, religion, politics, and writing. We may also feel more of a need to express our higher beliefs and viewpoints in our relationships now. Politicians, lawyers, writers, used car salesman, promoters, advertising sales reps, teachers (Sadge professions), may all be more romantically appealing to us. We are also more optimistic about our money prospects, and there may be more of an upside to our monetary affairs. Especially around January 23rd, when Venus favorably meets up with stabilizing Saturn.
Venus in Sadge Quote: “Mr. President. Tear down those walls!!! Free us from the shackles and handcuffs. Remove the secret recording devices in the phones. Venus in Scorpio has left the building!!!
Celebrities with Venus in Sagittarius: Jane Fonda, Whoopi Goldberg, Tina Turner, Christina Aguilera, David Bowie, Kevin Costner.

“Miracles happen every day. Not just in remote country villages or at holy sites halfway across the globe, but here, in our own lives.”Deepak Chopra
Cosmic Weather:
Anyone feeling a tinge of sadness today because another sizzlin’ hot eclipse day has come and gone? Sort of like the party’s over upstairs. Everyone has packed up and left, and now it’s back to business as usual for the Sun, Moon, and the rest of the gang. But what the heck is going on with all of these dead blackbirds falling mysteriously from the sky in Arkansas? And now yesterday, in Louisiana, thousands of more dead blackbirds. Really weird. Also, thousands of dead fish in the Arkansas River. Some people believe it’s UFO-related. Who knows, it could be? Or, maybe it’s the Capricorn eclipse? Historically, some scary things have happened around eclipses. Too, the Republicans are poised to take over the U.S. House today when the new Congress convenes. Some see that as a cataclysmic event. Many of the new House memebers have never held an elected office before. Of course, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Regardless of all these myriad elements, we do have some very cool lunar aspects today. Early on in the day, the ambitious Capricorn Moon throws harmonious aspects to inventive Uranus (5:30 am EST), visionary Jupiter (5:43 am EST) and love child Venus (7:16 am EST). It might be worth our while to put those aspects to use doing some creative project work, if we’re even awake then. Our intuition (Uranus) should be particularly strong. Of course, with sexy Venus still in naughty Scorpio, we may want to employ some of this clever ESP, under the sheets, in locating desired objects!
The Moon also enters “group-minded” Aquarius today (at 11:08 am EST), a time when we should forget about being an island, for a while, and go mingle instead. Aquarius denotes friends and acquaintances, groups, clubs, networking, and social causes. Also the internet. We additionally still have the tight conjunction going on between fortuitous Jupiter and genius Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) in fantasy Pisces. An aspect linked with miracles and sudden opportunities arising out of the blue. We also have a very magical creative quintile (72 degree aspect) from the Capricorn Sun to both Jupiter and Uranus. This is a dynamite day to showcase our originality and uniqueness. Especially perhaps with respect to how we part our hair, as Pisces is a sign associated with theater and masquerade, the outer costuming that we wear. The illusion that we want to create and project. It could be that we come up with entirely new ways to part our hair today, that are very riveting and sexy, and forever change the layout of our life. Venus (beauty) in transforming Scorpio is still aligned (trine) with inventive Uranus, which can bode well for new hairstyles, fashioning captivating new looks.
A few questions to maybe ask ourselves today:
How do we feel about the clubs or organizations that have granted us membership in the past?
What does it say about a club that will take us as a member? Are they that hard up?
How do we feel when we are parting our hair? Happy? Sad? Lukewarm? Panic-stricken?
Do we have any blockages or hang-ups about parting our hair a certain way? If so, why do we think this is the case? How is our natal Venus aspected in our horoscope? Is it aligned with repressed Saturn? Could it also be, perhaps, a matter of old childhood issues coming to the forefront? Maybe we need psychotherapy for resolving these delicate hair issues?
Also, how do we handle windy days and the sensitive matter of our hair? Is it best, perhaps, not to go out outdoors on those days? Maybe we should just stay inside with a scarf wrapped tightly around our head, in case someone opens the door on us, and puts our hair dramatically at risk of getting tossed around? 🙂
“The hair is the richest ornament of women.” Martin Luther
Saw this on YouTube today. Since I used to work in radio, this deeply impacted me. Hope someone will give this man a job! We need to help each other with the brotherly Aquarian Moon:
UPDATE: Ted Williams, the homeless man depicted in the video, was reportedly offered a job by the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wed. afternoon. See, real-life miracles do happen!

“He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.” Lao Tzu
“Well, it’s back to the daily grind for most of us today, as we get ready for the big eclipse new moon tomorrow. Regrettably, no more time to sit around and idly fantasize about George Clooney.
Fittingly today, we have the Moon in “busy bee” Capricorn (2:39 am EST) goading us on to be more productive. The main focus today is the Moon’s powerful conjunction to “Wikileaks’ director of intelligence” Pluto (12:42 pm EST), which can get us secretly involved with an array of clandestine power or control issues, particularly in the workplace. And, especially if we work for or around Hillary Clinton. 🙂
With Moon-Pluto, we often need to feel a heady sense of our own power and self-worth, and sometimes we try to achieve this by manipulating or controlling others, which can, of course, painfully backfire, triggering immense power struggles and vicious food fights. Especially since this conjunction is occurring about lunch time on the east coast, and in the D.C. area. So we need to tread carefully. Better, too, as Lao Tzu says, that we should seek to master ourselves instead. Especially maybe strive for more insight into whatever it is that is driving our desires. Pluto’s activated ray brings to the surface submerged emotions and feelings.
We may also want to see today if we can purge or eliminate (Pluto) redundant tasks or work duties, in a bid to become more self-managed and efficient. Always with Pluto, it is a good idea to try to pare things down, get rid of the bloat and excess. This includes, too, very discreetly passing any nasty, odorous digestive gas that may have been building up inside of us during the holidays. I also realize that this is a very delicate topic to discuss here, and am only doing so out of genuine concern for our physical well-being. Pluto does govern all forms of the excretion process, while the Moon rules food.
Additionally, it’s an excellent time for recycling. Pitch those things that we don’t want to have around us in 2011. An item that immediately comes to mind here: The bathroom scale! Get rid of the wicked thing!
In closing, here’s a perfect tie-in for today’s “budget-minded” Capricorn Moon. The front page of the Wall Street Journal, which reads: “Congress Targets Spending.” Pure delight to the tightwad Capricorn Moon’s eyes! Of course, we also have the Sun, Mars, and the previously alluded to “Pluto” in Capricorn, too. Adding even more zeal and passion to the budget-cutting process.
Some questions to maybe ask ourselves today:
Do we need to reign in our own personal spending?
What can we somewhat painlessly eliminate from our daily lives, that will have the net affect of putting more money in our pockets, at the end of each month?
Can we perhaps find new uses for old things, especially limpid male body parts?
Do we need to maybe start parting our hair on the right side now, in wake of the new republican-led congress in the U.S.?
The next question may be a bit of a stretch, but here it is: With the Moon in “teeth-ruling” Capricorn conjunct perceptive Pluto, should we maybe pay closer attention to how people eat and chew their food today, and perhaps note, for statistical and public health purposes, how many of them get noticeable food particles tragically trapped in their teeth? And what to do about it, if they do? Should we kindly chime in to a stranger in a restaurant, “Hey, buddy, I casually noticed you have a big, unsighly chunk of green spinach beside your front tooth that needs to immediately come out! Here’s some floss!” Maybe tell them, too, that we’re afraid if the spinach stays lodged in there for too long, it could become something permanent, and eventually that frightening reality could lead to massive epidemics of other people suffering the same plight. 🙂

“You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.”Albert Einstein
The Universe must have great confidence in our multi-tasking abilities. Unless, it’s deliberately being sadistic with us! What I am alluding to here is the fact that we have several potent aspects stacked up on our plates today to existentially grapple with. Of course, the real biggie is the New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse at 13 degrees 39 minutes of Capricorn, the first lunation of the new year. We have six eclipses on tap for this year: four partial solar and two total lunar. We haven’t had this many partial solar eclipses in one year since 1982, the same year that Michael Jackson released “Thriller,” the biggest selling album of all time. Also, that was the year that the Vietnam Memorial was formally dedicated in Washington D.C., occurring only a few days before MJ’s “Thriller” release in late November 1982.
Ironically, the original chairman of the Vietnam Memorial project, John Wheeler, was found murdered this past New Year’s eve. His body was tragically found in a landfill in Delaware. Also, today, it’s kind of weird, but Dr. Conrad Murray begins to testify in a pre-trial hearing in a court in LA with respect to MJ’s death. Of course, neither of these events have anything to do with the eclipse today. Just two interesting parallels that I thought I’d point out, since I happened to stumble upon them by accident, when I was reviewing events in 1982 in Wikipedia for this blog today.
Solar and lunar eclipses are special new and full moons. They often usher in notable events, for both individuals and the collective. Eclipses often “speed things up.” They can suddenly open up new doors for us. Monthly new moons traditionally denote new opportunities, with the eclipse being somewhat the equivalent of a new moon on steroids. The impact of an eclipse can last up to six months. Too, sometimes the affects of an eclipse are not felt immediately.
The few days right before the eclipse are especially highly-charged, and it is on those days when we really want to think about, and formulate, our new moon intentions, and make time for serious prayer and meditation. Especially advisable for single women now: Profoundly meditating on the sacred image of George Clooney. This is largely because George also has his natal Moon in Capricorn, closely conjunct cautious Saturn. Just thought I’d throw that in here. So George doesn’t think we’re completely abandoning him, caught up in all the momentary hoopla of the red hot eclipse. 🙂 (Also, at this end of this blog, I have included a bit about a real-life dream that I just had about GC, if you’re interested in reading about it. It was really, more like a nightmare!)
Those who have planets or horoscope angles from 10 to 17 degrees of the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), will likely be most impacted by this eclipse. Also, all of us need to note the house in our birth charts where the eclipse is occurring, as the affairs of that house now are definitely being energized, and likely awaiting prompt, eager response from our delicate little brains.
Of course, whether any of this “opening door” stuff will also coincide with the miraculous arrival of the Publisher’s Clearing House sweepstakes crew to our front door, is highly doubtful. Although, we should never entirely give up hope here. I, for instance, just ordered 320 new magazines for the year in an earnest bid to effortlessly guide the PCH folks to the exact location of my house. I also have pictures of the late, great Ed McMahon, posted on my street mailbox, and in them he’s further pointing the way to my front door, as I have known about this eclipse for many months now and its’ possible ramifications for my life, if I take certain, drastic measures.
Capricorn is symbolized by the goat climbing up the mountain, with the mountain personifying success. Capricorn wants to be successful in whatever it does, so this eclipse new moon will likely have the net affect of firing up our ambitions. It’s the perfect time to really get going on our new year’s resolutions, be it to lose weight, or become chairman of the board. Win the PCH sweepstakes.
Arianna Huffington, in her “Sunday Roundup” at The Huffington Post on Sunday, mentioned that, this year, she was “deleting” some things from her resolution list, that she earlier thought she would do one day, but realizes now that she will never do. She is checking these resolutions off “as complete,” and crossing them off her list, so she can focus on “freeing up space for those projects” she is truly committed to. This is very reflective of the typical Capricornian-mindset, which is very utilitarian and realistic in its approach.
Also read in the Wall Street Journalthat Oprah Winfrey doesn’t even make resolutions anymore. She was quoted in there as saying: “I don’t make them, because I live in the space that I’m in right now. I move with the flow, live in the moment.” I guess, that approach also has its useful (Capricorn) advantages to it, as with that philosophy, you are maximizing, or at least attempting to anyway, what the present has to offer, instead of focusing on a future that is not at all guaranteed. Although, Capricorn also tends to be very cautious, likes to always have a plan in place, and is generally not very impromptu.
A Capricorn eclipse most likely will not bring us rapid fire gains, but rather signifies success as a result of self-discipline, commitment, hard work, and being pragmatic. Capricorn is not comfortable getting dragged into any obscure, or pie-in-the-sky endeavors. It wants to know, from the get-go, what it is dealing with. This may be especially the case, this go-round, as the eclipse forms a tight square with Karma Lord Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn. Saturn perennially delights in holding our feet to the fire, making us accountable. Both Saturn, and Capricorn, are totally turned off by irresponsibility. It could be, too, that this eclipse coincides with a more difficult time for persons in positions of power or management. Especially for those who have been under-performing, as Capricorn rules authority figures, and the Sun denotes leadership.
With the “Saturn square,” too, we tend to be more critical (Saturn) of our leaders and higher-ups, much less willing to cut them any slack. Could be, too, this eclipse is a catalyst for changes in many corporate boardrooms around the world. Changes that could even trickle down to the local PTA hierarchy level. Maybe even into our own workplace offices. Of course, we also have the new U.S. Congress taking office, this week, with a Republican-controlled House, voted in on an apparent mandate to cut spending (synonymous with this Capricorn eclipse more “budget-minded” mentality).
Too, it appears that Capt. Owen Honors of the USS Enterprise is going to be officially relieved of his duties, perhaps as early as today, for airing lewd videos for his crew aboard the aircraft. While this airing actually occurred a few years ago, his activities were only really publicly brought to light on the eve of the eclipse. Fascinatingly, Jupiter and Uranus are exactly conjunct in Pisces now, the zodiacal sign which rules film-making. Jupiter-Uranus can bring about sudden revelations!
The Jupiter and Uranus exact conjunction in watering hole Pisces (7:50 am EST) is, in fact, a big player in today’s lunation chart. These two guys have become pretty good drinking buddies, as of late. They have been basically paired up with each other for the last six months or so. Mostly in caring, underdog, dreamy Pisces, a short time in adventurous Aries. They are both headed back to Aries this year. Jupiter and Uranus won’t be conjunct again, however, until 2024. So this aspect is big news.
Again, Jupiter-Uranus can bring sudden breakthroughs (esp. in science, technology, internet) that significantly change or alter the playing field, both individually and collectively. Mentally, we may also envision grander possibilities for ourselves, perhaps see things in a totally new light. This is because Jupiter tends to expand or grow our consciousness. It is the planet of opportunity and abundance. Innovator Uranus, denotes change, and sudden flashes of genius and intuition. Uranus additionally rules humanitarian causes, and equality issues. Pisces, too, is a very compassionate sign. President Obama, for instance, just signed a big bill on Monday to give 9/11 first responders health care benefits. Was there ever a group more deserving? I don’t think so. It is also very exciting that we have this upbeat conjunction in place with this more practical Capricorn eclipse, as it gives us a desire to dream big (Pisces rules dreams), yet at the same time we are aware that we must work hard to turn our dreams into reality.
Additionally with this Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in place, we recently saw the historic repeal of the DADT bill in the U.S., which prevented gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military, a big leap forward for our nation, in my opinion. Another example of Uranus coming to the plate for us for equality and civil rights issues. I also mentioned in the last eclipse report for late Dec., that this same conjunction in 1969 in the sign of Libra coincided with the first “Moon walk,” yet another leap for all of mankind.
Also, there was more news, yesterday, of a possibly big breakthrough in cancer screening, in which even just one cancer cell may be able to be detected in the body. Wouldn’t that be great? How many lives might be saved with early detection? My mother sadly died of cancer on January 3, 1996. I also lost my husband to cancer. Who among us had not lost somebody to cancer? I wager to say, none of us.
To discern this conjunction’s magical meaning in our own lives, we should look to see the house that it is falling in, in our personal charts, to see where we may be experiencing sudden breakthroughs, or be arriving at fresh new understandings. Maybe even where miracles may be occurring. And, of course, we may have been already experiencing some of these things for the last several months, as this is the final phase of this opportunity cycle. Also, those persons who have planets or angles in their horoscopes at 27 degrees of the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) are going to be impacted the most by this final pairing of these two planets. I have my Jupiter at 27 Gemini, so, I guess, I am among the “chosen few” here. Could be because of my annual contribution to PCH. Jupiter in Gemini loves to read.
Finally, love goddess Venus (ruling relationships and money), presently deposited in the latter degrees of passionate Scorpio, also figures prominently in today’s lunation chart. Venus is exactly square to Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius, and she is also in a magical, harmonious trine to the Jupiter and Uranus conjunction.
Venus-Neptune is all about glamorizing or idealizing romance, having fantasy or phantom lovers (GC?), romantic involvement with individuals who are often, in reality, not at all as they appear to be on the surface. We can also fall head over heels for people who are not free (could be married or otherwise committed), or they are maybe on a different wavelength than us. We can also be tempted to play the role of martyr under this influence. Neptune rules actors. artists, musicians, creative types in general, so I guess now, I am personally very vulnerable since I have a crush on both Clooney (actor) and Jagger (musician). 🙂
Venus-Neptune is a classic deceptive marker, so we need to be very careful that we are not lied to and played like a fiddle for a short time, and then sadly dumped by the curbside for Monday morning garbage pick-up. New romantic relationships that strike up now need to be given the test of time, to see if the other person can really, “walk their talk,” and chew spearmint gum at the same time! Few can. Also, we may want to run in-depth background checks on these new lovers. Definitely we need to be cautious about giving them any of our hard-earned cash. Additionally, we may want to lock up our valuable art work, especially our prized “paint-by-number pieces,” as this is a shifty influence associated with art thefts!
Simultaneously, Venus in Scorpio trine Jupiter and Uranus in spiritual Pisces could signify for us the formation of new, expansive relationships and friendships with more “highly-evolved” types, who are into helping humanity. Or, we may also be more attracted to scientific types (Uranus) or inventors. Too, there’s a chance that we could even become infatuated with computer geeks (Uranus). This trine could also possibly denote the arrival of a soul mate, since Scorpio does rule past lives, and Venus rules lovers.
With Venus-Uranus, we are more attracted to, and or more accepting of, persons who maybe are a little bit different from us, or who are maybe more unconventional in general. Entertainment-wise, we may also want to engage in activities that wildly or radically deviate from our usual routine. We also may be want to participate in group activities now, which Uranus rules.
Too, Venus-Jupiter characteristically is all about indulging in fun and pleasure. It can be very romantic. Venus-Uranus often brings about sudden attractions. Instant love! But remember, we still need to get the new love interest fingerprinted and thoroughly checked out, just as a precaution, due to Venus-Neptune. Later on, if we see that there might be some real potential, we may also want to go ahead and carefully administer an upright vacuuming test. In addition to asking the person directly, how they really feel about passionately vacuuming alone in the dark, especially during an eclipse. Do they like it, or not? If no, why not? Again, with Venus-Neptune, we must probe. Probe, probe, probe. 🙂
“Lose your dreams and you might lose your mind” Mick Jagger. Especially if I lose my dream about you, Mick!
Okay. Now to my dream about George Clooney: I did actually have a dream/nightmare about George on New Year’s day, during a short “solo” nap alone (: in the middle of the day. In the weird thing, I remember looking out of my front living room window in my house, and seeing George standing in my front yard, with another nondescript man of color, who I did not recognize. The other guy was kind of a big guy. Probably his bodyguard.
George was wearing a sexy black leather jacket and faded blue jeans. But, to the best of my recollection, he did not appear to have any whips or chains under his arms, or at least, any that I could see, and trust me, I was looking for them. Unfortunately, too, in the dream, George ended up walking AWAY from my house with that guy, without even venturing to ring my doorbell. Symbolically, I took this as a very bad omen. He should have been walking TOWARDS my house instead. Don’t you think?
My house also probably signifies my physical body. A real slap in the face that George can’t even bring himself to ringing my bell! Does anyone out there do dream interpretation? Know maybe what this dream about Clooney may mean, or portend for me? Could it mean that I’m suppose to move perhaps more in the direction of Mick Jagger, with my natal, dual-lover, Venus in Gemini placement? Seek Mick out for my spiritual and emotional rescue? 🙂

Cosmic Weather:
“Open mouth, insert foot! That appears to be a likely scenario for today, due to the Moon’s lively stroll through Chatty Cathy Sagittarius, and also the Moon’s conjunction with fast talker Mercury (9:03 am EST). Sag is famous for speaking before thinking. Knowing this ahead of time, it may be wise for Sarah Palin to steer clear of Katie Couric today. Also, Vice President Joe Biden may want to pray for a sudden case of laryngitis.
Too, we may even want to go so far as tying up our tongues with rubber bands or something, when the Moon squares both bigmouth Jupiter (8:50 pm EST) and cranky Uranus (9:09 pm EST). A cautionary gesture in a bid to preserve the peace with loved ones. Additionally at this time, it would probably be very unwise to tell your significant other that they look fat in a dress. Or, that they really need to do something about their unsightly beer gut, as there could be major repercussions.” 🙂

The planet Mercury, governing travel, communication, contracts, and so forth, stations direct at 19 degrees of Sagittarius on December 30th at 2:22 am!
Mercury has been retrograde since December 10th. It turned retrograde at 5 degrees of Capricorn. It will officially be retracing its “shadow” until January 17th, when it gets back to that 5-degree mark.
When Mercury is retrograde, the overriding astrological perception is that there can be more general confusion, misunderstandings, reversals, travel snafus, etc. It is seen as a time when we “move forward” by actually “going backwards.”
In other words, we “review or mull over” our recent decisions or thinking on things. Ideally, the winged messenger retrograde cycle can also be an excellent time for tossing around new strategies in our head and then implementing them when Mercury stations direct.
Anyway, with Mercury direct again, we presumably have the green light from the cosmos to make important decisions, once again, negotiate contracts. We can also hopefully resume brushing our teeth in a forward motion. 🙂

Couldn’t let this day pass without mentioning that December 23rd is the 37th anniversary of television’s, The Young and The Restless, which debuted back in 1973, and is still going strong.
Today, we’re also checking out some of the cosmic energy of that day, to see why maybe that show has endured for so long. And why it was perhaps able to “hook us” in the first place.
Mackenzie: “What does this mean – “wedding vows”‘?
J.T.: “Oh, Brittany wants me to help write hers.”
Mackenzie: “She wants you to help her?”
J.T.: “What, you didn’t think Bobby knew how to read or write?”
Mackenzie: “That’s mean.”
J.T.: “Yeah, it’s not far from the truth. But don’t worry. I’m sure he’ll hire whoever writes those flyers for the strip club. It’ll be like the raunchiest vows ever, and I’m sure the minister will probably pass out.”
(From The Young And The Restless)
On December 23, 1973, when The Young and The Restless debuted, Venus, the mythological “Goddess of Love,” was exactly sextile “Fantasy” Neptune, the planet which also rules the television camera. Venus was in friendly, freedom-loving Aquarius. Aquarius is also a sign known for broadcasting and technology. Neptune was in wanderlust Sagittarius, a sign that is additionally very good at spinning imaginative tales and story lines. (The emotional Moon was also in “alibi” Sag that day.) The sextile is normally regarded as a more harmonious aspect of “opportunity.”
Venus-Neptune aspects tend to coincide with a mindset in which we are much more willing, and really wanting, to believe in “fairy tales” (escapist soap opera plots). We are also more inclined to want to search out an “ideal love.” No matter that the object of our desires may be “imaginary,” or otherwise “off limits” to us. Perhaps a hunky character on a soap opera?
Most of us have had imaginary lovers, at some point, in our lives. Wild fantasies about persons “unavailable” to us? George Clooney, of course, immediately comes to mind here. However, we existentially do know, in this particular case, that this “Clooney pipe dream,” may actually some day still come to pass. It could be that it just takes many more earthly incarnations to materialize. But, it’s okay. We have the time. Rome wasn’t built overnight. Great things take time and careful planning. And, sometimes, a lot of fervent prayer. Along with daily visualization, meditation, and fasting. Occasionally we have to strike back-alley deals, too, with questionable saints, in order to get our needs met. (Would you believe, Neptune also rules saints and gurus, priestly-type figures? This is true.)
That is how Venus-Neptune tends to operate. It seldom ever “surrenders the dream.” Rarely quits on the “romantic illusion.” It will go to unbelievable measures to secure or retain its fantasy. Interesting to note here that Neptune also rules our “addictions.” Neptune, coincidentally, additionally depicts “real-life people” who are employed as actors, or other persons professionally engaged in careers that stoke our imagination, such as poets, dancers, and artists. So, we had more of a proclivity to “fall for” the “make-believe” characters in the show, with the program debuting when it did.
Neptune is also our magical “link to the divine” and whispers to us of having a “divine compassion” for all. Venus-Neptune can be highly compassionate. But, on the flip side, there is also the proclivity to “play martyr or victim.” Elements, too, that work very well in television-based soap operas.
Too, love maven Venus was in a tight harmonious trine to transforming, controlling Pluto in Libra when this show premiered. With Venus-Pluto, we usually fully experience all the highs and lows of romantic drama. The compulsiveness, the obsessions, the deepest of passions. Venus was also applying to a conjunction with expander Jupiter in Aquarius, considered to be one of the most romantic and fortuitous aspects of all, as Jupiter grows whatever it is paired with and aligned with romantic Venus, our love and affection knows no bounds. The Young and The Restless characters will also never run out of people to have “real or imagined” affairs with.
Lastly, Virile Mars, ruling sex and our physical desires, was also deposited in impetuous Aries ( the sign that it rules) at 29 degrees, the very last degree of the sign. Making the young, “very restless.” And, ever more reason to watch them on TV.

“You know you’re getting old, when Santa starts looking younger.” Robert Paul
Ho, ho, ho! The optimistic Sun in goodwill Sagittarius is energetically square jolly Jupiter in fantasy Pisces today (Dec. 16th at 4:47 pm EST). Too, due to Jupiter’s intrinsically generous, warm-hearted nature, Jupiter symbolizes “the Santa spirit” in astrology.
Sun square Jupiter is often a time when we are characteristically wanting to be a little more giving and generous to others with our time, talent, and bundle of resources. Not a bad thing at all!
The only pitfall here: We must be careful not to over-promise, or over-commit ourselves. We need to avoid excesses altogether. No easy task, as we are feeling much more revved up about our abilities and capabilities now. We also have our inspired eyes on the “bigger picture.” Our hope and faith are merrily a twinkle.
Also, we are wanting so much to wholeheartedly believe in the good in other people now, and in fairy-tale endings. Finally meeting the prince after kissing way too many frogs. “Santa Claus Oprah” putting a trip to Australia in our holiday stocking, too, along with keys to a new car.
