COSMIC WATCH:

“Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Moon continues in “fantasy” Pisces, during the day, and is void-of-course (without major aspect) until its entrance into “initiating” Aries later this evening (8:37 pm EDT), suggesting that we wrap up or attend to unfinished business, during the daytime hours, especially activities that allow for the full employment of our creative imagination.

Relationship Venus is also forming an inspiring, 72-degree link (quintile) to “idealistic” Neptune, the ruler of Pisces. This influence helps to awaken more of our heartfelt, tender impulses and it also tends to fuel our “need for fiction,” especially in the romance department. With “dreamy” Venus-Neptune aspects, we are characteristically more willing to overlook and to forgive, and we prefer not to focus upon anything unseemly. Our boundaries with others can also become more blurred, as our compassion is strengthened and our ego needs take a back seat.

Additionally, the Gemini Sun’s square to “wounded warrior” Chiron in Pisces today also acts to raise our sympathy level up a notch and makes us more capable of noble, selfless deeds.

Too, as I am writing this blog, it is being reported that Ratko Mladic, Europe’s most-wanted war crimes fugitive, was arrested today in Serbia (WSJ.com). It could be that this Sun-Chiron influence can also help us to “ferret out evil,” or perhaps galvanize us to deal more with “suffering” (Chiron). When Chiron’s ray is stoked, there is often a “suffering” component to it on some level. When Chiron first entered Pisces, for instance, I remember we had the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico (Pisces rules oil).

On a shadow level, Pisces is also the zodiacal sign that is linked with extremism, terrorism and hidden factions. It is a more complex sign. Embracing both the “saint” and the “sinner.”

Famous Birthdays May 26th: Sally Ride (60), Stevie Nicks (63). BTW, Stevie Nicks has relationship Venus in the mothering sign of Cancer exactly square to her “fantasy” Neptune in partnership Libra, giving her a tendency to always want to see the best in others. It also makes her more capable of self-sacrifice, especially where romance is concerned. Sometimes, too, with Venus-Neptune, we are attracted to more “wounded” types that we can help nurse back to health.

Venus-Neptune is also often a major artistic influence (Neptune rules music) and, of course, Stevie is a divine (Neptune) singer and performer, who nurtures the world (Venus in Cancer) through her extraordinary music. She is also “pioneering” in her approach with her Aries rising.

Enjoy your Thursday!

Astrology May 21, 2011: “Chance To Deepen Ties” Venus Trine Pluto

COSMIC WATCH:

“Friendship is the golden thread that ties the heart of all the world.” John Evelyn

The empowering Sun exits “I have” Taurus and cascades into “I think” Gemini, shifting our core focus from an accumulation of things and a quest for security to an accumulation of knowledge (5:22 am EDT) and eager interaction with others. Restless Gemini is characterized by a “need to know” and also requires active participation in its environment via travel and communication. (The Sun will be in intellectual Gemini for the next month.)

Later on, we also have the Moon departing personally ambitious Capricorn for forward-thinking, detached Aquarius (10:32 pm EDT), another socially-minded air sign, like Gemini, in which attention is centered on group expression and collaborative efforts.

Goddess of love Venus, in pleasure-seeking Taurus, is additionally forming a potent, harmonious trine to passionate, renewing Pluto in Capricorn (2:01 pm EDT), potentially giving us the chance to deepen or strengthen (or heal) our relationship ties. Venus-Pluto often puts us in touch with our deepest desires (Pluto rules the subconscious) and helps to foster particularly strong emotional reactions to persons and events around us.

Often on Venus-Pluto days, we will be riveted by certain captivating stories that we hear about in the news regarding relationships and romance. Or, even Venus-ruled artists or entertainers may capture our attention in a special or singular way. Lady Gaga, for instance, racked up, I believe, 7 or 8 Grammy Awards one night, when Venus and Pluto were exactly aligned in the sky, effectively “stealing the show.”

Too, sometimes old lovers from our past, including our karmic past, appear under this same aspect. It is an influence that is linked with finding our soulmate.  (Pluto rules death and rebirth).

This same aspect also favors going treasure-hunting. I recently “fell in love” with, and ended up purchasing, a fabulous pinkish, salmon-colored, upholstered chair at a tag sale the day Venus and Pluto were exactly aligned in my horoscope (Venus rules art and other objects of beauty). As soon as I set my eyes on the chair, I was “overpowered” (Venus-Pluto) by it, and simply had to have it. Venus-Pluto is also associated with “obsession” or “intense craving.” This aspect is also excellent for personal creativity.

Enjoy your Saturday! I’ll let you know how I make out on the antiques trail!

Astrology May 20, 2011: “Move Mountains” Mercury and Mars Trine Pluto

COSMIC WATCH:

“We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a small group of determined people can change the course of history.” Sonia Johnson

Big, big day today! The Moon is in personally ambitious Capricorn the Goat. Mercury (thoughts) and Mars (action) are exactly conjunct in determined, materialistic Taurus the Bull. Both are also trining intense Pluto (transformation agent) in resourceful Capricorn. We are able to think and act decisively (Mercury-Mars), leveraging a laserlike mental focus (Mercury-Pluto) and unwavering resolve (Mars in Taurus) to miraculously move mountains (Mars-Pluto) and end up smack at the very top (Capricorn).

We also have x-ray vision (Mercury-Pluto) and can masterfully detect what was previously hidden to us, making this a potent day for problem-solving, or for figuring out previous, elusive mysteries. (On more of a collective level, it’s a good time for Pluto-ruled spying and espionage.)

This is definitely a day when we will want to stay fully engaged and not take our eyes off our targeted goals. We also have the chance to rally influential persons (Pluto) to our cause to back us or assist us, i.e. a fabulous time for “power networking.”

On another level, with mighty Pluto’s “purging ray” activated, now is an ideal period to eliminate or get rid of deadweight, or whatever is not working for us. Mysterious Pluto likes to travel with as little baggage as possible, and often in incognito. We are, therefore, well-served to do the same. Be perhaps a little “mum” to the world about all of our action plans until the last minute. Discuss our power-brokering strategies in private, “closed-door chambers.”

In The News: I have taken a quick peek at Maria Shriver‘s and Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s horoscopes. The Scorpio Full Moon on Tuesday fascinatingly fell exactly on Maria’s 7th house of marriage at 26 degrees Scorpio, putting a bright spotlight on both her marriage and the marriage partner. With “revealing” Pluto ruling Scorpio, too, we are often privy to finding out “secret” or “hidden” information.

Arnold, meanwhile, had the Full Moon in Scorpio falling exactly in his fifth house of children, near his expansive Jupiter, setting the stage for the world to learn that he had more (Jupiter) offspring than what was originally known about him publicly. It was also on the exact day of the Full Moon in Scorpio on Tuesday that Arnold finally “came clean” about his past and his secret love child. Scorpio also rules sex and intimate affairs.

Too, for the last few days, we have been hearing about the “high-profile” alleged sexual assault case involving Dominique Strauss-Kahn, former head of the International Monetary Fund, details of which first emerged just prior to the “revelatory” Scorpio Full Moon.

Astrology May 19, 2011: “Dull Boy Jack” and Moon Trine Jupiter

COSMIC WATCH:

“Humor is mankind’s greatest blessing.” Mark Twain

This may be a good morning to crack the one-liners at the office, as we have the Moon in ‘fun-loving” Sagittarius trining Jupiter in spontaneous Aries (10:18 am EDT), with jolly Jupiter steward of the title, “the cosmic king of comedy.” Jupiter presides over our sense of humor, or ability to include some levity into our perspective.

This is also an excellent period to self-promote, self-publish, and or expand upon our brilliant philosophy (Jupiter) of life with anyone who will listen to us.

Later in the day, when the Moon shifts into serious, “all work, no play” Capricorn (4:17 pm EDT), it may be harder for us to casually laugh or philosophize our troubles away, especially for “dull boy” Jack. Although the Capricorn Moon’s sextile to imaginative Neptune in “tipsy” Pisces (5:48 pm EDT) can help to get our creative juices flowing again, especially when Jack meets up with Mr. Daniels at the water cooler. 🙂

We also may have to subdue an inner rebellious streak when the traditionalist Capricorn Moon squares off with “non-conforming,” lone maverick Uranus (10:31 pm EDT), defiantly thumbing for a ride on the “wild west” Aries’ prairie.

***

Hope it’s a good one!

Astrology May 18, 2011: “Taking A Gamble” Moon In Sagittarius

COSMIC WATCH:

“The safest way to double your money is to fold it over once and put it in your pocket.” Kin Hubbard

Even though we have the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars all in practical, conservative Taurus, some of us may be willing to take a bit more of a gamble today with our resources. Or, at least muse ourselves about something a little “pie in the sky.” This is primarily due to the placement of the Moon in “reach for the stars” Sagittarius.

Egging the Moon on in the risk-tolerant department today, too, is mental Mercury’s positive semi-sextile to wacky, but possibly “brilliant idea guru” Uranus in “new day” Aries (Uranus also rules our hunches and intuition). Of course, it is conceivable that we could, indeed, come up with some game-changing strategy that could end up putting some extra jingle (Taurus) in our pocket.

Also, love maven Venus is making the very same 30-degree aspect to “wild thing” Uranus. This could lead to our giving keen consideration today to the delicious idea of absconding with the cute, produce guy at the local grocery store. 🙂 Venus-Uranus can spawn sudden infatuations, often with types we are normally not attracted to. In general with this aspect, it’s a favorable time for partaking in leisure activities (Venus-ruled) that are refreshingly different (Uranus). Even dressing a little bolder or daring today might give us a big emotional lift.

Do you get a boost when you wear certain kinds or colors of clothing, shoes, or maybe style your hair differently? The late Elizabeth Taylor had her Venus (ruling beauty) exactly conjunct her Uranus in bold Aries and most of us always felt magically enamored (Uranus) by her singular presence on the silver screen. Also, the late Johnny Cash (born just a day apart from Elizabeth) always called attention to himself by dressing only in black. Johnny, who also had his Venus conjunct Uranus, was officially known as “the man in black.” Miss them both.

One other noteworthy thing here about Uranus and fashion: The moment that Kate Middleton stepped out of the limousine at her wedding in April, unveiling her wedding gown to the world for the very first time, Uranus was exactly trining the “royal” Leo Ascendant, indicating something “electrifying” was unfolding then on the horizon (Uranus is likened to a thunderous bolt of lightning out of the blue). Of course, the matter of Kate’s wedding gown, and who designed it, had been the “best kept secret in the world,” for several months.

Enjoy your Wednesday.

Astrology May 11, 2011: Mercury, Venus and Jupiter Conjunction in Aries

Cosmic Weather:

“The secret of success in life is for man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.” Benjamin Disraeli

“Opportunity” could very well be knocking for us today, too, in the form of the rare, triple conjunction of Mercury (communication and ideas), Venus (love and creativity) and Jupiter (optimism and expansion) in trailblazing Aries. This is a very magical aspect filled with untold possibilities for those who know how to “seize the moment.”

The Moon’s shift into analytical Virgo today, from showy Leo, (10:00 am EDT) also helps us to logically sift through the myriad possibilities before us and choose the most auspicious path for ourselves. Additionally, Mars, governing initiative, enters rock solid Taurus, supplying us with an extra measure of practical determination and common sense to reach our goals. Mars will be in grounded, plodding Taurus until June 21st, although today, with the fiery Aries triple conjunction, we may still be feeling a bit “unleashed.”

Amazingly, we have not had Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter exactly conjunct in Aries for well over a 100 years, although this trio was close together in Aries, in late April of 1928, when actress, singer, and dancer Shirley Temple, was born. This child prodigy shot to superstardom (Jupiter) at the tender age of 6, while also winning over the hearts (Venus) of many on the planet. Interesting, too, that Shirley would later become a Jupiter-ruled ambassador (with performer Venus ruling the entertainment portion of her career). I think Shirley Temple’s hopeful, charismatic, childhood persona is a rather fitting depiction of the type of upbeat, exuberant, playful type energy that we have around us today via the triple conjunction in unstoppable, pioneering Aries.

In the News: On the eve of the Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter triple conjunction in pioneering Aries, it was announced that Microsoft has agreed to purchase “Skype” for a colossal (Jupiter) 8.5 billion dollars, reportedly the largest acquisition in Microsoft’s history. When banker Jupiter is in the news, especially aligned with money-ruling Venus, we often hear about gigantic dealings. It will be interesting to see how Microsoft utilizes Skype in the future.

The feminine Moon also enters demonstrative Leo (5:36 am) and forms a harmonious trine to electrifying Uranus in Aries (11:11 am). Also, raising the delicious prospect for sudden romance.

Astrology May 7, 2011: “Topsy Turvy” Cardinal Grand Cross

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Life’s problems wouldn’t be called ‘hurdles,’ if there wasn’t a way to get over them.” Unknown source

Things may be a bit more “topsy turvy” today with the Moon in emotional Cancer forming squares to unpredictable Uranus in Aries and restrictive Saturn in Libra, and also an opposition to reforming Pluto in Capricorn. This alignment activity sets up a dynamic cardinal cross in the sky. Cardinal sign energy (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) is very active and initiating. The pace around us now could quicken. Somewhat of a roller coaster. We progress now by being flexible, aware, and simply going with the flow. Sometimes, this buildup of cardinal energy spawns heroic or uncommon efforts.  Other times, creativity (Elvis Presley was born with a grand cardinal cross). Hopefully its appearance in your life today will have positive, exhilarating consequences.

BTW, last fall, when American Idol’s two new judges were formally announced, Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez, we had a cardinal grand cross exact in the sky. Again, it can be a highly creative, energizing configuration. Also a time when we feel more inclined or compelled to roll-out bolder agendas for ourselves, or are more amenable to changing things up, desiring newness and freshness. I was curious as to how Tyler and Lopez would fare on Idol, being chosen at that time,  but it appears that the viewer response has so far been favorable.

On a sweeter note, communicator Mercury and love maven Venus are aligned together in flirty Aries, boding well for weekend romance. This Mercury-Venus aspect will be exact on Monday. Too, with this same influence applying yesterday, it was announced that Beatle Paul McCartney is planning another trip down the aisle (trip #3) with his New York girlfriend of four years, Nancy Shevell (she’s reportedly a cousin to Barbara Walters). Not sure of the wedding date. Paul, a Gemini, has adventurous Mars and expansive Jupiter in new beginnings Aries presently sextiling his Sun (sense of self), so he is going through a more enthusiastic, optimistic phase (Jupiter-Sun aspects are often advised for weddings). Coincidentally, we had a similar type of Mars-Jupiter energy (the conjunction) in the royal wedding chart last week of Kate Middleton and Prince William.

Astrology May 5, 2011: “Conservative Approach” Gemini Moon Trine Saturn

COSMIC WEATHER:

“A conservative believes nothing should be done for the first time.” Thomas Fuller

Despite the fact that we continue with five planets in “act first, think later” Aries, the appearance of cautious Saturn, on the scene today, via the cerebral Gemini Moon’s trine to it (11:39 am EDT), makes the case for adopting a more conservative approach to life’s daily challenges. Saturn, denoting the “safety urge,” prefers to stick to the “tried-and-true” instead of going out on a shaky limb. Can you see where a more serious or conservative style might further your cause now?

Famous Taurus Birthdays May 5th: Michael Moriarty (70), late Tammy Wynette (71)

In The News: President Barack Obama is slated to lay a wreath at ‘Ground Zero’ today. He will also be meeting privately with victims’ family members, and reportedly meeting with members of the FDNY and NYPD and Port Authority to “thank them for their sacrifice.” The Gemini Moon’s trine today to respectful, stoic Saturn, in diplomatic Libra, is a fitting backdrop for this more solemn occasion. Aries is also the sign of law enforcement and firefighters, and with the placement of five planets in Aries now, those brave souls are also symbolically depicted here in the energy of the day.

Astrology May 1, 2011: “Popes, Saints, Would-be Kings” Mars Conjunct Jupiter

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!
