Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, March 5th

The universe moves from fundamental adversary to conditional support system as a fairly intense weekend morphs into an exhilarating Monday. The good news starts early when Venus leaves forceful Aries for determined, hardworking Taurus (2:26AM PST) – the earth sign that Venus rules. Being practical, sensible and economical can all work in your favor as Venus remains in this fixed, power sign until April 3. Coming into the picture shortly after the Venus shift is Mercury uniting with Uranus at 4 degrees of Aries (3:36AM PST). As the first of three Mercury-Uranus encounters (the other two happening on March 18 and April 22), anytime these two planets break bread together we can expect a torrent of revelations pouring forth out of the Universal Mind. The question is whether we can think fast enough and deep enough in order to understand what to do with enhanced knowledge and wisdom. After a slightly frictional 45-degree tie between Ceres and Neptune (7:13AM PST) – an aspect that might decrease your productivity temporarily – the cosmos comes roaring back with enthusiasm as the Moon parallels Jupiter (10:36AM PST) and Venus (12:18PM PST). Not only are these two upbeat parallels equivalent to unions from the Moon to Jupiter and Venus, but they suggests that Venus is about to parallel the largest planet – Jupiter – very soon. Their exact parallel happens tomorrow morning at 6:39AM – offering a cornucopia of blessings across the board. Nevertheless, as Monday shifts into Tuesday, be more cautious and careful since the Moon parallels Mars (12:48AM on Tuesday). On the home front and with loved ones, use words to heal – not harm.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, March 4th

This is a good point in the Cosmic Calendar to remind you that solar and planetary alignments don’t just disappear in one day. Therefore, yesterday’s quartet of potent sky configurations – Sun opposite Mars, Vesta united with Uranus, Venus moving 135-degrees to Mars, and the Sun moving 135-degrees to Saturn – are still forces to reckon with, even if they are a little below the cosmic radar field. However, Venus in Aries is opposing Saturn in Libra (3:19AM PST) and this discordant aspect is clearly a polarity that can set in motion a big chill affecting love or money matters. Stop worrying about things you can’t control. Slow your tempo in romance and delicate business affairs. Emulate the tortoise rather than the hare in key activities this morning. It doesn’t help that the Moon squares Venus (2:18PM PST) – beginning a short void lunar cycle in Cancer that lasts until 3:19PM PST. The good news is that 3:19PM PST offers the Moon a new lease on life by entering fiery Leo and making two, mind-expanding trines – to Mercury (8:58PM PST) and Uranus (9:26PM PST). Because the Moon is closing in on harmonious trine patterns to Mercury and Uranus quickly, this implies that Mercury and Uranus are about to converge. That Mercury-Uranus inspirational union occurs tomorrow and – due to Mercury’s upcoming reversal on March 12 – Mercury will also unite with Uranus on March 18 and April 22. Get set for a highly stimulating start to the workweek tomorrow as Venus enters its main home sign of Taurus (2:26AM PST on Monday).

Today’s Cosmic Calendar for Saturday, March 3rd

Take advantage of all golden opportunities coming your way during this weekend as cosmic intensity is back near full strength. Although the Moon is in Cancer and promoting projects around your residence, kitchen, garage or garden, the Sun in Pisces forms a polarity or opposition to Mars in Virgo (12:11PM PST). This aspect alone would be enough to cause alarm bells to ring and put everyone on Planet Earth on notice that volatile conditions are on the rise. However, you also have to deal with Vesta uniting with Uranus in Aries (3:46PM PST), Venus making a frictional, 135-degree tie to Mars (6:54PM PST), and the Sun forming a similar connection with taskmaster Saturn (7:12PM PST). Plus – waiting in the wings is a Venus-Saturn opposition that will clock in at 3:19AM PST tomorrow morning. Under this aegis of celestial tyranny, it may be hard to get any traction going this morning or afternoon. Vesta with Uranus suggests being extra careful relative to your assets and investments. Venus and Mars in a struggle is often an indicator of increased tensions or quarrels between lovers. The Sun-Saturn skirmish may slow down business negotiations and enterprises before they get off the ground. If you are looking for a silver lining in the overall psychic cloud cover, find it and savor it when the Sun and Moon form a flowing trine in water signs (8:59AM PST). Despite all the challenging aspects, antique hunters and collectible aficionados receive encouragement from the history-loving nature of Cancer Moon as an emotional backdrop to this 24-hour time-period.

New Moon Report for Friday, March 2 – Mercury In Aries

 

 

Mercury in Aries

Friday, March 2, 3:41 am PST, 6:41 am EST

Brainy Mercury blasts into headstrong Aries to heat up conversations and fire off brilliant new ideas. Intellectual excitement is understandable, but it’s wise to maintain some self-restraint as the messenger planet is slowing down and will turn retrograde on March 12. Hurry up and wait might be the mantra of this misleading transit that incites concepts which are a little ahead of their time and require reconsideration before they’re ready to share.

Today’s Cosmic Calendar for Wednesday, Feb. 29th

February 2012 ends with a flourish as revolutionary vibrations associated with the first of the three outer planets – Uranus – strike humanity with intensity. Mercury makes a contra-parallel (1:04AM PST) with this planet of radical change, intuitive awareness and a vast arsenal of innovative ideas. Tomorrow – as Mercury shifts from south declination to north declination above the Celestial Equator – Mercury and Uranus will form a parallel. Therefore, mental excitement is at a feverish pitch as February ends and March begins, and many souls may be feeling far more nervous than usual. In the meantime, you have other fish to fry since the challenging vibes of the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (energizing 11 degrees of Pisces and Gemini) arrive on the scene at 5:23PM PST. The power and significance of quarter moons are often ignored by students of astrology because the emphasis is always placed on New and Full Moons. Every time we reach a First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase, the two lights are separated by 90-degrees of arc and the Moon is waxing in illumination. However, the key is to cut through obstacles along your physical and emotional pathways, and to manage your business affairs with greater finesse. Accomplish these objectives today and you are well on your way to taking a symbolic victory lap of psychological success tonight. Immerse yourself in a biography, bestseller or literary classic under the glowing literary spotlight of Gemini Moon.

Calendar of the Moon for Thursday, Feb. 23rd

Calendar of the Moon
23 Nion/Anthesterion

Diasia: Day of Ua Zit

Color: Black
Element: Earth
Altar: Upon a black cloth set three knives, a sword, and a sickle in the shape of a serpent; two white candles, and a bowl of barley.
Offerings: Any atonement for a wrong done by you, your family, or your ancestors.
Daily Meal: Fasting until the following morning.

Diasia Invocation

We have walked upon the face
Of this our generous Mother
And done wrong to many,
Whether by accident or by design
Or only by our lack of mindfulness.
Before we walked here,
Those who made us walked upon the face
Of this our generous Mother
And did wrong to many,
And their wrongs made them strong,
And their strength gave life to us.
We are born of the pain and toil
Of others, and this price
Is etched into our bones.
There are none truly innocent
Anywhere on the face of the Mother,
And we must all atone
For ourselves and for our blood.
Therefore we shall live always
With this knowledge over us,
We shall share a bed with its presence,
We shall learn to love its painful truth
And yet never become accustomed to it.
We shall work to atone for this legacy
Even if we only do no more harm
Through action or inaction.
We are children of Fate,
And we cannot afford to be blind
To the wrath our footsteps leave behind them.

(All sit on the floor and meditate. At the end of the meditation, the barley is poured as libation.)

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, February 23

Stop, look and listen! The cosmos wants you to be patient, calm and receptive to higher guidance. As mentioned in Wednesday’s calendar entry, the Moon in Pisces remains in a void limbo cycle until 6:49PM PST when the Moon enters fiery, independent-minded Aries. There is no need to dash out of the starting gate too soon since tensions are filling up the psychic atmosphere early on as Mercury opposes Mars (3:26AM PST). Reflect on your recent and current investment plans as the Moon unites with Vesta in Pisces (5:13PM PST). It is also wise to review insurance rates and coverage, and make sure your residence has adequate safety and security systems. Relationships are on the questionable side of the astro-psychic spectrum due to a feisty Sun-Juno square from Pisces to Sagittarius (5:37PM PST). Wear kid gloves when handling love bonds. Once the Moon enters Aries (6:49PM PST), your tendency will be to push forward in an assertive, willful manner. However, Vesta makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie to Saturn (9:12PM PST) — becoming a further reminder to make sure you are safe at home and that your business affairs are rock-solid

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Wednesday, Feb. 22

Strange forces continue to be on the prowl following yesterday’s tumultuous happenings. Now you need to deal with a rather strident Mars-Saturn contra-parallel (12:01AM PST) that can send shock waves and negative emotions moving through primary partnerships. Be extra sensitive to dear ones under duress. Fortunately, the annual Sun-Pallas union in Pisces clocks in at 9:48AM PST. This solar conjunction to Pallas can help you perform some unconventional wizardry concerning problem-solving, strategy sessions, in-depth research, and strengthening your immune system. Communication channels receive an energizing burst during the monthly Moon-Mercury union (4:36PM PST), but shortly thereafter the monthly Moon-Mars opposition (6:25PM PST) ignites potential mischief-making with associates or dear ones while also beginning a lengthy void lunar uncertainty zone lasting for over 24 hours until 6:49PM PST tomorrow. Finish old business during the void-of-course lunar cycle, but don’t launch new, bold enterprises until the Moon enters Aries on Thursday evening. Meanwhile, Venus forming an off-kilter, 150-degree tie to Mars (8:26PM PST) throws a potential monkey wrench into the affairs of sweethearts. It is doubtful whether a shock-bringing Moon-Uranus parallel (11:00PM PST) will add a sense of calm. Do your best to bring happiness to a significant other without exhausting yourself in the process.

New Moon Report for February 18th – Sun in Pisces

New Moon Report

Sun in Pisces

Saturday, February 18, 10:18 pm PST, Sunday, February 19, 1:18 am EST

The Sun’s entry into the last sign of the zodiac is a step into synthesis. Its presence in Pisces reminds us that the walls that keep us apart from one another are merely illusions. We are all one in the sea of consciousness where the Fishes swim. This oceanic state can be confusing, of course, since we rely on boundaries to maintain our individual identities. Rather than reinforcing barriers to sustain them or tearing them down completely, adding flexibility to the ego lets us seamlessly flow together and drift apart as desired. Reconnecting with spirituality, nature and one another are its sweetest rewards.

Symbols and Associations of the Element Air

Air has the qualities of coolness and dryness and associations with breath, life, and communication. In astrology, Air rules the zodiac signs Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra. People born under the Air signs think, communicate, analyze, and theorize. They love freedom, truth and justice, and have the ability to change circumstances with amazing speed. As thinkers, they rely on rationality rather than on intuition or emotions. Their philosophical approach to any situation allow them to endure hardship. Air signs can tolerate almost any circumstances, as long as there is a rational explanation for it. They have great leadership capabilities, with a reputation of being fair. Interested in almost everything, they are lifelong students.

The Element of Air becomes a negative one when Air folks require family and friends to uphold the same standards they live by. Air people cannot understand why everyone does not think and act as they do When they make a mistake, they tend to rationalize instead of using the situation as a learning experience. They are devoted to abstract ideas and have difficulty making decisions, making them sometimes exasperating to work with. In addition, they tend to procrastinate.

Lenaia Invocation I

Hail, son of Semele! Iakkhos, Giver of Wealth!
Not only wealth of body and thought,
But wealth of spirit as well,
Numinous in sacrifice,
One whose mysteries
Cannot fully be spoken,
One who we can only truly know
Through the way of unknowing,
We ask for fertility of soul
Not merely for us, but for
The whole world of humanity.
We dance for the soul’s creation
And re-creation, again and again,
You who understand the cycle
And know that all endings
Are simply beginnings.
From our souls down through our bodies,
From our bodies into your Soul,
From your Soul into the Earth,
We give you our open eyes
That you may fill them with vision.

(Instead of a particular chant, a drum circle is formed and all dance for at least an hour. Any appropriate chant may be used. After the drum circle is closed, the red wine is passed around and shared, with the worker saying, “Behold the blood of Iakkhos.” The remainder is poured out as a libation. Then the white wine is passed around and shared, with the worker saying, “Behold the dreams of Iakkhos.” The remainder is poured out as a libation.)

New Moon Report for February 13 – Mercury in Pisces

New Moon Report for February 13

By Jeff Jawer

Mercury in Pisces

Monday, February 13, 5:38 pm PST, 8:38 pm EST

Minds meander with Mercury moving through Pisces, going off course to places that words cannot adequately describe. This transit serves poets, artists, healers, spiritual seekers and all those who don’t rely on objective evidence to shape reality. Facts may grow fuzzy, but conversations grow tender as intuition becomes the most valuable source of information.

Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, Feb. 9th

Even though Saturn is still virtually motionless since its station and shift into reverse two days ago, it is Uranus that keeps trying to run the celestial show. Every day so far this week, Uranus has been playing the game of interloper and shock-master by stirring up trouble as it tries to de-crystalize the blocks, limitations and restrictions that Saturn has made more entrenched on the world scene during the past few months. Following an inspirational, 72-degree link from Mercury to Jupiter this morning (3:51AM PST) – an alignment that provides a boost on the communication, literary and educational fronts – Venus forms a parallel to Uranus (5:16AM PST) some 13+ hours before these two planets make their annual union (6:30PM PST) – this year at 3 degrees of Aries. Yikes! Uncertainty, surprises and the unknown coming out of left field are up for grabs. Circumstances beyond your control can easily be in the cat-bird seat. Lunar parallels to Venus (2:37PM PST) and Uranus (3:29PM PST) act as stereo amplifiers whereby the unexpected takes charge, and you may have to temporarily function as a witness to events and experiences that are odd, bizarre and more in keeping with the Twilight Zone. It doesn’t help that the Moon makes its monthly union with the often feisty and volatile red planet Mars in Virgo (9:13PM PST) – simultaneously igniting a void lunar cycle that lasts until 11:55AM PST on Friday when the Moon enters sociable Libra. Escape the clutches of vampire-like associates who are more likely to drain you of life-giving energy than restore the innocent qualities of your heavenly soul. Say no to legal matters, key signings and long-term commitments during the void Moon mayhem happening for over 14 hours.

Wednesday, February 08, 2012

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Try to work the words “happenstance” and “ineffable” into your conversation today. It turns out that most people believe any sentence that has the word “ineffable” in it. Such as that one.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
You will meet a tough challenge in a very resourceful way, today, using only a Swiss Army Knife, a transistor radio, and oven cleaner.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Everyone who drives by today will stick their head out their car window, give you a big dopey look, and flop their tongue around in the wind. If you had known this was “act like a dog” day, you might have been better prepared.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Beware the Ides of March. Also, if you have a friend named “Brutus”, it might behoove you to be a trifle more selective…
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
What you are about to do is wrong. Of course, you will only find that out much later. For now, enjoy yourself!
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Not a good time to go forth and conquer. Try going fifth, and hover in the background.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Through a casual remark in an elevator, you will realise that both you and your fellow passenger have seen John Cleese’s informational film called How To Irritate People. By the time you reach the 10th floor, you will both be severely vexed with one another.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Try to avoid nibbling on things today. Despite recent developments, you don’t actually know your friend that well yet.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
You will get a notion to become a street food-vendor, and will make yourself a food serving cart for the “Bulghur Baron”. You will sell pint containers of hot bulghur wheat, cooked with sauteed onions, garlic, and other vegetables. To everyone’s amazement, you’ll succeed fabulously, eventually making millions off the franchise rights alone.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
It was a simple mistake, which anyone could have made. What’s more, now you know better. I think, though, that the expression is too widespread for you to actually get it changed to “never look a gift horse in either end”.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
You are being stalked by an invisible mutant from Planet 7. Or at least, you’ll find that this makes an excellent excuse for not doing those outside chores today.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Someone will ask “How are you?” for the millionth time. You should celebrate the occasion by having a speech prepared – something embarassingly intimate is usually best. “Glad you asked, Bob. I’m having a darned tough time getting rid of these pesky genital warts, for one thing…”
