Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for June 4th
Stop, look and listen! Silence is golden in the early hours as the Partial Lunar Eclipse strikes first at 4:04AM PDT followed 9 minutes later by the Full Moon at 4:13AM PDT (activating 15 degrees of Gemini and Sagittarius). Individual and group meditations are encouraged during what some esoteric groups call the Festival of Humanity. Send out your inspiring thoughts and prayers to friends, colleagues, relatives and the kingdoms of nature. Worrying about your own personal needs is a no-no. Think more about your higher destiny in this lifetime and how you can be of greater service to the invisible host of teachers, angels and spirits that orchestrate the universe from their elevated perspectives. Giving your religious beliefs and philosophy of life extra support is Neptune becoming motionless at 4 degrees of Pisces (2:05PM PDT) as it gradually shifts into retrograde motion – a reversal direction that lasts until November 10. All Neptune themes – dreams and visions, psychic sensitivity, the creative imagination, spiritual longings, ideals, artistic genius, universal love-wisdom, fishing and sailing, water sports, illusions, fantasies, confusion and chaos, addictive behavior and being hooked on anyone and anything – are intensified. Adding to today’s carnival-like atmosphere is a Venus-Mars square from Gemini to Virgo (5:29PM PDT). Strive for serenity in affairs of the heart. Fortunately, Venus will also make an inspirational, 72-degree contact with Pallas (6:34PM PDT) – offering encouragement regarding problem-solving and strategy sessions. The Moon, still transiting, adventurous and playful Sagittarius goes retrograde during a Moon-Mercury opposition (10:09PM PDT). Complete odd jobs and old projects on a high note during the next 7-hour uncertainty zone until the Moon enters industrious, earthy Capricorn at 5:32AM PDT on Tuesday.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for Saturday, June 2nd
The two days before any Full Moon constitute a 48-hour time-period of preparation for the enlightening vibrations about to enter humanity and the Earth. We are now within that electro-magnetic aura since the upcoming Full Moon – with the Sun in Gemini and the Moon in Sagittarius – occurs early Monday June 4, followed by Neptune being virtually motionless as it shifts from direct to retrograde motion in Pisces. Therefore, this entire weekend has a spiritual, religious and philosophical high-vibration going on if you can tune into those rarified qualities of life. On the more practical and pragmatic levels of being, you can make headway with arts, crafts, hobbies and especially scientific-mathematical projects as Mercury makes an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with its higher-guardian planet Uranus (6:49AM PDT). Healing forces continue to show their strength (following last night’s Moon-Chiron trine) as Ceres makes an inspirational, 72-degree alliance with Chiron (1:01PM PDT). This Ceres-Chiron connection can also be utilized to alter your diet and enhance your nutritional needs. Your productivity quotient rises – as long as you don’t fall prey to the shadow side of lunar Scorpio (projecting anger on well-meaning friends, associates and family members). Strive to improve the quality of your primary partnerships tonight – courtesy of the monthly Moon-Juno union (11:36PM PDT). Mystery movies and who-done-it bestsellers can capture your imagination.

A Sagittarius Triplet
Image Credit & Copyright: Martin Pugh
Explanation: These three bright nebulae are often featured in telescopic tours of the constellation Sagittarius and the crowded starfields of the central Milky Way. In fact, 18th century cosmic tourist Charles Messier cataloged two of them; M8, the large nebula left of center, and colorful M20 on the right. The third, NGC 6559, is above M8, separated from the larger nebula by a dark dust lane. All three are stellar nurseries about five thousand light-years or so distant. The expansive M8, over a hundred light-years across, is also known as the Lagoon Nebula. M20’s popular moniker is the Trifid. Glowing hydrogen gas creates the dominant red color of the emission nebulae, with contrasting blue hues, most striking in the Trifid, due to dust reflected starlight. This broad skyscape also includes one of Messier’s open star clusters, M21, just above and right of the Trifid.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, April 7th
While Sagittarius Moon usually stimulates goodwill, a happy-go-lucky disposition and the urge for adventure in the great outdoors, these dynamics are present and yet somewhat muted because of the approach of two, highly-charged, challenging sky patterns. Jupiter in Taurus and Uranus in Aries reach a provocative, 45-degree liaison (7:10PM PDT) while Mars makes a contentious, off-kilter 150-degree contact with radical-change agent Uranus (11:46PM PDT). Since these two aspects are far-and-away, the major alignments affecting everyone on Planet Earth today, the early hours may not seem so intense. However, as the hours unfold, unsettled affairs can become more iffy, pressure-filled and volatile. Therefore, it is advisable to keep a low profile across the board for this 24-hour time-period. Have fun in exploring literary and educational pursuits – via the lunar presence in upbeat, goal-oriented Sagittarius – but don’t push a personal agenda with such determination and ego-investment that you wind up alienating colleagues, friends and dear ones during the second half of the day, and especially during the evening hours. If at all possible, avoid everything associated with legal matters, key signings and long-range commitments. At the same time, be as sensitive and nurturing as you can with loved ones on the ropes who need your kindness and support.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, May 6th
The day after a Full Moon can be rough because the vision or revelation of higher reality has now been delivered to earthlings – whether they know it or not. In the meantime, it’s as though the cosmos feels it has done its thing and now may be prepared to focus its attention on other species or planets. However, the 48-hour time-period beginning at this time ought to be a launching pad for spreading the good news that the light, love and wisdom of the universe are ready to work wonders in all of our lives. A particular challenge today is that the Moon in Scorpio appears to be shirking its responsibility by going void at 5:15AM PDT during a somewhat optimistic and illuminating Moon-Jupiter polarity. The lunar orb remains in this weakened void mode until 6:40PM PDT when Sagittarius Moon begins in earnest for the next two days. The lunar shift every month from Scorpio to Sagittarius is one of the most profound changes in the zodiac since there is a miniature death – followed by the need for regeneration, and rebirth of feelings, thoughts and ideals. Nevertheless, it is helpful to be finishing old projects and enterprises on a high note during today’s void limbo cycle. Under the auspices of Sagittarius Moon, let the fun, games and sporting events proceed! Insights about business matters and investment planning can be sharp as Vesta makes a supportive, 60-degree link to Neptune (9:31PM PDT). Strengthen love bonds and partnership ties later on – courtesy of the monthly Moon-Juno union (10:08PM PDT).

A Beautiful Trifid
Image Credit & Copyright: R Jay Gabany Explanation: The beautiful Trifid Nebula is a cosmic study in colorful contrasts. Also known as M20, it lies about 5,000 light-years away toward the nebula rich constellation Sagittarius. A star forming region in the plane of our galaxy, the Trifid illustrates three different types of astronomical nebulae; red emission nebulae dominated by light emitted by hydrogen atoms, blue reflection nebulae produced by dust reflecting starlight, and dark nebulae where dense dust clouds appear in silhouette. The bright red emission region, roughly separated into three parts by obscuring, dark dust lanes, lends the Trifid its popular name. In this well met scene, the red emission is also juxtaposed with the telltale blue haze of reflection nebulae. Pillars and jets sculpted by newborn stars, below and left of the emission nebula’s center, appear in Hubble Space Telescope close-up images of the region. The Trifid Nebula is about 40 light-years across.

Today’s Cosmic Calendar for April 10th
It was only 6 days ago that Mercury left retrograde motion to turn direct. Now Pluto is doing the opposite, pausing in its motion at 10 degrees of Capricorn (9:25AM PDT) and shifting from direct to retrograde. All Pluto themes – death-rebirth, regeneration, willpower and purpose, depth psychology, lasers and positive use of atomic energy, the underworld, phobias, extremes, repressed emotions, scandals and invisible forces beyond one’s control – are accentuated now and during the next couple of days. [Pluto will remain in reverse until September 17, 2012 when it will turn direct again at 7 degrees of Capricorn.] Being pushy, egocentric and aggressive won’t win you friends and admirers. Events are also likely to boomerang against you – from the karmic perspective – if you insist on making others do your bidding because of your own arm-twisting maneuvers. Allow the higher vibrations of optimistic and happy-go-lucky Sagittarius Moon to run the show. You may also receive a helping hand from Venus in Gemini forming a polarity to Juno in Sagittarius (11:36AM PDT). If you can avoid jealousy and envy on the partnership front, then loving kindness coming from others to you may be the result. Tensions vie for supremacy with harmonic vibes this evening when the Sun makes a frictional, 45-degree link to Venus (7:22PM PDT) while the Sun also trines the Moon in fire signs (7:52PM PDT). Hopefully, the latter resourceful alignment will win out as the Moon in Sagittarius still carries a great force of enthusiasm and self-confidence.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for April 9th
Here’s yet another day when being patient in the early hours is the path of wisdom. The Moon is void in Scorpio until 8:13AM PDT when the lunar orb shifts into the fiery, enthusiastic sign of Sagittarius. Sagittarius Moon usually carries a note of optimism, goal-orientation, and enjoyment of athletics and adventures in the great outdoors. While those keynotes are still available, you will need to gingerly move through a caustic, 45-degree link from Venus to Vesta (8:24AM PDT). This aspect places a warning on fooling around with assets and investments. Fortunately, some better business vibes may come into play as Venus forms a supportive, 60-degree rapport with innovative Uranus (9:53AM PDT) while productivity-enhancer Ceres enters earthy and pragmatic Taurus (1:41PM PDT) until June 23 and the Sun makes a fairly rare union with Vesta (5:07PM PDT). Thus, the tentative and questionable morning energy-field appears to be strengthening throughout the day. Plus – the Sun conjunction with Vesta is definitely a vast improvement business-wise over the Venus-Vesta skirmish. Be more fashion-conscious as the Moon makes its monthly union with Juno (6:37PM PDT). Add touches of beauty and elegance around your residence. Think of new ways to empower your primary partnerships. Do your best to prepare for tomorrow morning’s Pluto shift from direct to retrograde.
Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, April 8th
Just when it seemed that some of the tense sky patterns are losing their potency, along comes another whopper – in this case, it is the Sun making an abrasive, 135-degree link to the red planet Mars (1:08AM PDT). This kind of connection often equates with a rising tide of emotional turbulence or volatility. Since the Moon is also in Scorpio, rocking the love boat is not recommended. Do your best to calm dear ones who are under pressure or on the skids. Your words and acts can be a soothing balm rather than an inflammatory expression. Another reason for an increase in psychic storminess is that Pluto – ruler of the underworld, extreme fears, phobias and repressed feelings – is about to shift from direct to retrograde on Tuesday April 10. Many people can tune into planetary stations ahead of schedule and that is why a warning of this kind can be a life-saver. Meanwhile, avoid conflicts with loved ones, friends and associates later on as the Moon parallels Pluto (5:01PM PDT) and the Sun makes an uneasy contra-parallel with Saturn (8:56PM PDT). Hope for improvement on the communication front as the Moon approaches a flowing trine with Mercury (11:57PM PDT). However, this usually auspicious Moon-Mercury link-up also begins a void lunar cycle that lasts until 8:13AM PDT tomorrow morning when the Moon enters fiery, upbeat Sagittarius.

Invocation to Prometheus
Long ago, wars tore the land
And the great and powerful laid waste
To all things, and some won,
and some lost, but the true losers
Were those unfortunate humans
Who were beneath the notice of either side.
One Titan took pity on them,
And tricked the gods who would have
Robbed them of even their food,
And taught them to keep the best part
Of their sacrifices for themselves.
And then, to help them further
In the face of the wrath of the powerful,
He stole fire from the sacred forge
And gave it to weak humanity.
And for this he was punished,
As he knew he would be punished,
Chained to a stone and torn by a vulture.
And yet the knowledge of that punishment
Did not deter him from his goal,
For when there is something that must be done,
And it is right to do it,
Then harm to body and mind
Does not stop right action.
For this we hail Prometheus,
Lord of Forethought,
He who sacrifices for the good of all,
He who knows what it is to be right,
And what will be the consequences.
(All stand before the altar and salute the torch, and speak of their own convictions.)

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Wednesday, March 14
Following last night’s surge of cosmic blessings – brought forth by two highly favorable Venus alignments – the planet of love and beauty keeps providing support via a flowing trine to Mars (12:29AM PDT) while less than three hours later, Mars – which is still doing backstrokes in Virgo – makes another trine to giant Jupiter (2:51AM PDT). With the Moon in ebullient, adventurous Sagittarius, golden opportunities are prevalent. However, it is wise to avoid overdoing a good thing once the two largest celestial bodies – the Sun and Jupiter – form a caustic, 45-degree connection (2:14PM PDT). You probably won’t gain any assistance from the arrival of the Last Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (energizing 25 degrees of Pisces and Sagittarius at 6:26PM PDT). There is a need to cut through obstacles that could be blocking your spiritual pathway to higher consciousness. In your favor – as a physical-emotional vitality booster – is something unexpected – a flowing trine in earth signs linking Mars in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn (5:25PM PDT). Allow the red planet and the mysterious underworld-ruling planet to come to your rescue for several hours. It is not every day that Mars and Pluto combine to be on their best behavior and create a support system on your behalf.
Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, March 13th
With the Moon in optimistic and enthusiastic Sagittarius, and last night’s Jupiter-Pluto trine offering you added encouragement across the board, it may seem that the cosmos is at your beck and call. However, Mercury now in reverse, the Mars-Neptune contra-parallel from Monday, and this morning’s 180-degree joust between Mars and Pallas (12:15AM PDT) are not exactly a friendly welcoming committee as this day begins. Don’t be your own worst enemy through self-criticism and antagonizing family members. Three favorable alignments give you a terrific boost as Mercury trines Juno (1:27AM PDT), the Moon trines Mercury (11:11AM PDT), and the Moon makes its monthly union with Juno in Sagittarius (11:20AM PDT). The emphasis on Juno reminds you to be more fashion-conscious, hip and stylish as well as to treat dear ones with respect. Fun, games and sports are always highlighted during the Moon in Sagittarius dispensation. The evening hours provide a dynamic one-two punch as Venus makes a flowing trine to Pluto in earth signs (6:29PM PDT) while Venus also unites with providential Jupiter at 10 degrees of Taurus (10:55PM PDT). This double combination by Venus can be your ticket to dramatic social gains and worldly success as a savvy entrepreneur who knows the score. If necessary, keep the midnight oil burning as Venus nears a trine to Mars (exact at 12:29AM PDT tomorrow) while the red planet is approaching a similar trine to Jupiter (precise at 2:52AM PDT tomorrow).
The Daily Cosmic Calender for March 12th
This is probably not going to be the easiest start of a workweek in recent memory. The main challenge comes from normally fast-paced Mercury slowing down completely from the Earth’s perspective, making a station at 7 degrees of Aries (12:49AM PDT), and beginning a retrograde cycle until April 4. All Mercury themes – communications, information exchange, words and language, intellectual prowess, reading and writing, classes and primary education, transportation and travel plans, health and medical matters, magic tricks and sleight of hand, stealth and theft – are emphasized throughout the day. Be careful concerning legal matters and signings. Don’t put your John Hancock on important papers if it is not required right now. Utilize the next three weeks to review and re-evaluate your literary, educational and business affairs. A Sun-Moon flowing trine in water signs (11:31AM PDT) seems to offer a promise of better times ahead since Jupiter is also about to trine Pluto (forming exactly at 9:45PM PDT). However, the Sun-Moon harmonious alignment at 11:31AM PDT also begins a 12+ hour void twilight zone that doesn’t end until 11:55PM PDT. During the lengthy void-of-course lunar marathon in Scorpio, Mars forms a dicey contra-parallel with dreamy Neptune (6:04PM PDT). Projecting your anger on well-meaning friends, associates or relatives is taboo. Instead of tapping into the creative, success-oriented energy-field being established when Jupiter trines Pluto at 9:45PM PDT, it is wise to wait until the Moon enters upbeat Sagittarius (11:55PM PDT) and then reaffirm long-range goals and hopeful objectives.
