Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, December 20th

Every so often the universe appears to go back into a cocoon and declare a ceasefire when it comes to attacking humanity with a wide variety of challenging alignments. Today is one of those 24-hour time-periods when it is okay to embrace the peace and quiet of a favorite den, studio or library. Out with frenetic, dog-eat-dog hustle and bustle; in with joyful learning and creative artistry — particularly as the Sun and Venus connect via a subtle and yet still nurturing, 30-degree tie (8:30AM). This Sun-Venus rapport also has the capacity to energize love bonds and money-making plans.  Anticipate breakthroughs in higher consciousness around the time that the Moon trines Uranus (4:12PM). Check out the latest advances in science, medicine and metaphysics. Take a good, long look at your primary partnerships and think about ways to improve their quality as Venus has virtually no motion as it prepares to shift from direct to reverse in Capricorn tomorrow. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Daily Cosmic Calendar for August 9th

[All times are calculated for the Pacific Daylight Zone. If you are living in a different time zone, add or subtract the necessary hours so that any timed alignment will be exact where you live.]  During every sequence of approximately 10 to 14 days, usually one 24-hour time-period is offered as nearly a vacation day by the cosmic powers-that-be. Today is one of those days when it is all right to stop worrying about many minor concerns and old problems.  Even though the Moon is in Virgo and there is a natural tendency to worry, Venus is on the rise — forming a parallel to radical-change agent Uranus (10:45AM), an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with benevolent Jupiter (just one minute later at 10:46AM), and its monthly union with the Moon (3:06PM). With Venus so strong, it is wise to realize that social urges, the creative arts and love bonds can be high on the agenda.  There is also a reason to let go of recent tensions as the Moon-Venus conjunction also begins a void-of-course lunar cycle that lasts until 6:09AM tomorrow when the Moon enters affable Libra. During this kind of void lunar cycle — containing the potent but heart-centered essence of Venusian charm and beauty — your ability to magnetically attract what you need for achievements in the fine and graphic arts is greatly enhanced.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, Aug. 5th

[All times are calculated for the Pacific Daylight Zone. If you are living in a different time zone, add or subtract the necessary hours so that any timed alignment will be exact where you live.]  If you are looking to test your mettle or go through a trial by fire, the next seven days should suffice.  Today begins somewhat innocently with a void lunar cycle in home-loving and family-oriented Cancer. This lasts until 9:59AM when the Moon enters Leo. Playing games and having child-like fun will keep you entertained. Delving into an art project, visiting a museum or gallery also fills the lunar mood with the Moon in the creative fifth sign of the zodiac. Romance could be beckoning as well as the Moon in Leo energizes the heart and stirs passions.  Meanwhile, ingenious ideas are illuminating the mind like fiery comets streaking through the night sky as Pallas makes a rare conjunction with Jupiter in Cancer (8:50PM). Hone your problem-solving skills and make the most of strategy sessions as this optimistic and mentally-expansive alignment occurs.  Even the next alignment — a potent Sun-Vesta union in Leo (9:20PM) — can prove rewarding as it has the capacity to increase the value of your assets and investments.  However, this entire 24-hour time-period is part of what is called the dark-of-the-moon monthly cycle which occurs right before a New Moon and which suggests the need to complete old projects with self-assurance. Therefore, the necessary traction and oomph to take any great leaps forward will have to wait until the Sun and Moon merge tomorrow and in the few days following.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 6th

Here’s another full day of Virgo Moon. Health, dietary and nutritional needs are in the hopper every month when the Moon transits the sixth sign of the zodiac. Looking at life through the microscope is important since details can make or break your path to success at this time. Giving you a boost of vitality is a subtle and yet still dynamic, 30-degree link from the Sun to Mars (7:02AM PST).  A crisis in consciousness may be developing shortly thereafter due to the Last Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (activating 15 degrees of Sagittarius and Virgo) clocking in at 7:33AM PST. Cut through obstacles on the mental and even spiritual planes while keeping your business affairs as stable as possible. This won’t be that easy because the Moon parallels surprise-bringer Uranus (8:21AM PST) while Venus makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with Vesta (11:42AM PST).  Venus in league with Vesta in this manner is nothing to cheer about as there is a need for major adjustment in how you look at your investment plans and portfolio. Being too hasty is likely to backfire against you. A soul-sister may be able to keep you on track.  Fortunately, the Moon chimes in by making a supportive, 60-degree alliance with Venus (1:55PM PST). This lunar contact with the planet of love and beauty won’t necessarily neutralize the shadow side of Venus moving 150-degrees to Vesta, but it can take some of the emotional sting out of it. The Moon-Venus encounter is also the last main aspect of this 24-hour time-period — pointing you in a more positive direction tonight on the creative, artistic front.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 27th

Very little stands in your way of success right now. A Venus-Ceres 45-degree skirmish (6:49AM PST) and Moon-Neptune parallel (9:29AM PST) can bring in some consternation temporarily regarding your productivity in arts, crafts, hobbies and your fields of expertise, but these two alignments are not the primary sky patterns during this 24-hour time-period. The main event is the monthly Moon-Pallas union in Aquarius (12:13PM PST) that receives a gentle boost about an hour before-hand when the Moon forms a communication-enhancing and supportive, 60-degree alliance with Mercury (11:02AM PST). The Moon with Pallas is definitely a wonderful opportunity to energize your skills as a problem-solver, strategist and researcher. Pallas is also associated with engineering, city planning, software programming, needlepoint, weaving, the genetic code, DNA and the immune system. Learn more about herbs and health foods that help you build a strong defense against fatigue and illness. Mercury approaches a 60-degree rapport with Pallas overnight and this keeps the high-level, ingenious Pallas themes very prominent in the psychic atmosphere.
