Astro-logical Forecast for Tuesday 2/5/2013: Up, Up & Away

Another day driven by a righteous Moon in Sagittarius, expressing big ideas wherever it goes, fueled by a humanitarian Aquarius Sun. Patterns are light today…but you may still need a grounding cord, lest your rose-colored views carry you off like a helium balloon (cue The Fifth Dimension singing the classic Jimmy Webb song, now).

And speaking of rose colors…fabulous consultation specials are back — perfect for Valentine’s Day gift-giving! Details at the bottom of this forecast.

We’ve got one planetary shift today. Mercury, which refers to mindset, travel and communication, enters dreamy Pisces at 9:58AM ET and heads for a rendez-vous with nebulous Neptune, which is exact tomorrow. This adds to the wiggy surreal potential we’ve been experiencing with aggressive Mars hooked up with the bedazzling power of Neptune. Regular readers know that Neptune connections are wonderful for intangibles: spirit, music, art, healing and other divine inspirations. Neptune also refers to deception, oil, escape, scandal and drugs — to name a few. If you’re a creative type, a lover or a healer, you could soar. If you’re an escapist, we may have to send out a search party by the end of the month.

Moon goes void at 3:42PM ET, not to enter Capricorn until Wednesday at 12:55PM ET. Get it off your desk before 4PM if you can — and take some time to dream and wander. Earthy practicality will demand your attention tomorrow — still divinely inspired.

And now the news, brought to you by juicy Mars-Neptune in Pisces, karma-busting Saturn in Scorpio and the never-ending Uranus square Pluto, disruptor of the status quo, exposing what lies beneath. Finally, we’re seeing fraud (Neptune) charges about to be filed against a credit-ratings agency for its helium-induced assessments that helped bring about the fiscal crisis of 2008. Ya think? “Fraud” is in the headline of the latest from economist Paul Krugman — incredibly not about credit-ratings agencies. Meanwhile, remember the potential delusions of a fanatic I mentioned in Sunday’s forecast? The kidnapping of a young boy in Alabama has been resolved and the man who abducted him is dead (the boy was rescued — hooray).

Here’s a story about fraud (Neptune) in sports (Mars), specifically soccer. Muzak (Neptune refers to music) is also on the front page. Can you believe it? Neptune refers to illusions like TV (there’s no actual football team playing inside your set), and it is no surprise that a charismatic hook-up with Mars accompanied the sky-high ratings for that surreal Super Bowl— also on the front page. But my favorite surreal story of the day is the news from across the Pond that the skeleton of King Richard III was positively identified. The bones were first uncovered in August — under a car park — on a “news from underground” connection among Uranus, Pluto and Venus. Here’s Sir Laurence Oliver delivering the opening monologue in the title role of Shakepeare’s Richard III…

…which is an odd segue into the details of my two Valentine consultation specials, but that’s showbiz. This month I’ve created — at a reader’s request — a holiday-inspired “Lovecast”. Doesn’t that sound like fun? The second special is one that was quite popular in December — so it’s back, and the deets on both are here. I have gorgeous gift certificates decorated with sparkly hearts for you to give to your sweetie, and I can’t wait to put them in the mail for you. Contact me and we’ll make that happen.

Astro-logical Forecast for Monday 2/4/2013: From the Sublime to the Ridiculous

East Coasters, your work week may begin with a slow start or some other twist in your morning routine, given the brief void-of-course Moon between 7:31AM and 10:45AM ET. If ever there was a day to pour cold water on your coffee grounds or forget to even grind the beans before putting them in the French press, this is it. As you know from reading yesterday’s forecast, thanks to a beguiling Mars-Neptune hook-up, there is a ton of wigged-out energy to either thoroughly confuse you or take you to the highest of bedazzling heights. How about that wigged-out 35-minute power outage during last night’s Super Bowl? And frankly, the whole month of February suggests more of same, even with Mercury turning retrograde on the 23rd and Saturn turning retrograde on the 18th. It will be interesting to see if the optimism/idealism/soaring spiritualism is reflected in the markets over the next few weeks.

They’re back! Fabulous consultation specials – just in time for Valentine’s Day! Available all month!

At 10:45AM ET, Moon enters Sagittarius, another high-flying placement with opinions to shout from the rooftops. Just make sure you’ve got yourself tethered by a safety harness, especially from lunchtime to teatime. There’s the potential to engage in a heated discussion that is based on the surreal, not the real. Could be a scenario for “open mouth, insert foot” — and we want to make sure it’s someone else doing that, not you. Still more boisterous indulgence carries us into the evening hours — courtesy of expansive Jupiter hitting that big-thinking Sagittarius Moon. Broaden your horizons and go for a gambol.

Pop quiz for regular readers of this forecast, especially those who live in New York. Does anything in the above paragraph remind you of Ed Koch, the former New York mayor who passed away a few days ago? Like “opinionated” or “expansive”…as in “Sagittarius” and “Jupiter”, respectively? If you said yes, good for you. Ed Koch has Sun in Sagittarius conjunct Jupiter! In other words, that opinionated energy needs to be expressed expansively. And this conjunction is challenged by aggressive Mars and rebel Uranus — quite explosive and/or provocative. But wait, there’s more: his Moon is in Cancer, suggesting a need to provide emotional/homeland security — and this, too, is in contact with expansive Jupiter. A caring father figure who was larger than life ? We also see Mercury (mindset) in super-practical Capricorn, and it is challenged by ruthless Pluto. Here was a man who would not suffer fools gladly — or you’d hear about it in a New York minute. Also of interest: a Libra Ascendant suggesting a need to be seen as a people-pleaser (“how am I doin’?”) and yet most of the time he was seen…alone. Why could that be? Well, Mayor Koch’s horoscope has a Grand Trine, which some astrologers see as a lucky configuration. But I have learned in recent years that Grand Trines operate as defense mechanisms — against relationship. Sure, they may allow people to act as if they are “a law unto themselves” — but why is that lucky? Mr. Koch never married…but readers of his obituary in the New York Times have posted numerous anecdotes as a tribute. RIP, Mayor Koch.

Other Moon voids this week: Tuesday 2/5 3:42PM ET until 12:55PM ET on Wednesday; Thursday 7:44AM ET until 2:17PM ET on Friday. Plan accordingly.

Astro-logical Forecast for Sunday 2/3/2013: Super Bowl Sunday

Moon plunged into the watery depths of Scorpio at 7:02AM ET on Saturday, seeking emotional substance and control. If things feel intense, that’s because they are. Even without challenging aspects, (patterns were fairly light on Saturday), a Scorpio Moon often presents opportunities to confront deep-seated passions — for better or for worse. This weekend’s Scorpio Moon may be even more seductive than usual, courtesy of a magnetic hook-up between “horny Mars” (as astrologer Rockie Gardiner liked to say) and nebulous Neptune, which is building to a release on Monday afternoon (as discussed on Friday). Take all that pixie dust with a grain of salt. Yes, it can be a magical, mystical escape — for artists, healers, musicians, lovers, dreamers and anyone else with faith. It can also be completely surreal — or a con that leads to disappointment when all the dust settles — including that tall, dark, handsome stranger in the bar who’s dying to ply you with a fine Cabernet. Not that anyone’s caveats will be heeded this week, given all the glorious optimism and rose-colored fog suggested by this week’s planetary patterns. Only the delusions of a fanatic or two could burst our collective bubble. To paraphrase a classic line from Fiddler on the Roof, may God bless and keep such folk…far away from us.

Regarding the illustrious Super Bowl that will drive consumption of nachos through the roof, many have weighed in with their predictions, including this group of furry critters. My sense is that the game will be close and that the 49ers likely have an edge. If I do make it to the local sports bar this afternoon, I’ll be interested in the action between 6:50 and 7:05PM CT (for fumbles or a few spectacular Hail Mary passes). If the game is still going on at 9:25PM CT, that’s about when we may see a surprise or sudden fortune-changing power play — give or take several minutes thereafter — as rebel Uranus and ruthless Pluto will hit the angles of the chart cast for 5:30PM CT in New Orleans.

And speaking of furry critters, don’t miss “the biggest game on all fours”– on Animal Planet’s 9th Annual Puppy Bowl. Sneak peek here; official website here. With gratitude to the reader who sent me the sneak peek, so I could share it with you.

Astro-logical Forecast for Friday 2/1/2013: Mars in Pisces; Venus in Aquarius

Moon continues its sojourn through airy, rational Libra today, going void-of-course at 8:03PM ET until 7:02AM ET on Saturday. There are no disruptive lunar aspects to interfere with the flow of business or civilized conversation or debate — which bodes well for social engagement. At the end of the day, we will have two planetary shifts of note.

First, Mars — which refers to action and/or energy applied (in a situation) — leaves rebel Aquarius at 8:54PM ET, and plunges into the watery depths of Pisces. Frankly, Mars is not particularly comfortable in Pisces; it’s like putting a hot poker into a vat of water. What do you get? Plenty of steam! Point is, Mars is more comfortable in an element which allows it to be direct, whereas the nature of Pisces is diffusive. Not only that, but over the next few days Mars will be aligned with nebulous Neptune, ruler of Pisces. What does that suggest, you ask. On the plus side, it is excellent for glamor, charisma, show-stopping Hollywood spectacles, healing, faith and sublime escapes. On the down side, it can facilitate con artists and deceptions of all kind, fanaticism and seamy scandal — often in government and religious institutions. Actions taken or proposed may not be what they seem to be — so read the fine print if you’re considering something that seems too good to be true. This Mars-Neptune hook-up is exact on Monday, and already there’s a story about Cardinal Roger Mahoney of Los Angeles being removed from his duties after internal documents were released, showing how he shielded priests who were accused of sexually abusing children. Delightful.

The potential for weirdness is echoed by the second planetary shift: Venus leaves social-climbing Capricorn and enters Aquarius at 9:47PM ET. Aquarius places a huge value on friendship and is known for its unconventional aesthetics and social expression. It is quite comfortable living on the fringe. Feel free (another Aquarius word) to expand your social circle and challenge your tastes over the next few weeks.

More on the rest of the weekend –and maybe the Super Bowl — later. I am working on a few special consultation offerings — just in time for Valentine’s Day (thanks to those of you who have asked). So stay tuned and I’ll posts the deets on those today or tomorrow.

Astro-logical Forecast for Thursday 1/31/2013: Equilibrium in the Balance; Saturn Square Sun Recap

Moon is NOT void of course today, as many of you wrote to let me know. Apologies for the typo in yesterday’s forecast — and during a perfectionist, hypercritical Virgo Moon, too — quelle horreur! Moon enters Libra at 1:36AM Thursday morning, not Sunday, now seeking peace, social graces and popularity. However, thanks to the never-ending challenges of rebel Uranus, your equilibrium may be disrupted by a startling revelation or outburst around noon, Eastern time. My money says put a positive spin on it, courtesy of an optimistic boost from jolly Jupiter. By dinner time (8:16PM ET), another challenge to peace and harmony may be raised, as ruthless Pluto squares the Moon. This is not necessarily an unpleasant prospect…though it may be deeply felt.

Meanwhile, yesterday’s headlines reflected planetary patterns perfectly. When I write a subject line “Expansion & Contraction” and wake up the next day to a headline that blares “Economy Contracted Unexpectedly in the Fourth Quarter.” I can’t help but do a little Snoopy dance. It’s an astrology thing…though I confess I’d be even more thrilled if the hyperlink function in WordPress hadn’t suddenly decided to go on strike. Here’s the link to the article about the unexpected contraction http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/31/business/economy/us-economy-unexpectedly-contracted-in-fourth-quarter.html?hp And here’s another front page item about deep cuts and limitations…in the fishing industry http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/31/us/officials-back-deep-cuts-in-atlantic-cod-harvest-to-save-industry.html?hp And here’s another story about necessary controls — this one about China shutting down factories to curb pollution that’s running wild http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/31/world/asia/beijing-takes-emergency-steps-to-fight-smog.html Meanwhile, in France, the City of Lights is hitting the off switch, too — another necessary control http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/31/world/europe/paris-lights-to-be-dimmed-to-save-energy.html?ref=world It’s all very Saturn (discipline) square Sun (life force). Coincidence or conspiracy?

That’s all, folks. Gotta find out why these hyperlinks are not working. Paging my computer guru now…

Astro-logical Forecast for Wednesday 1/30/2013: Expansion and Contraction

Moon in Virgo continues to drive the needs of the day: to organize, analyze, be correct — or better yet, make it perfect. Pick one or more of these tasks and carry on. Read yesterday’s forecast for thoughts on who is personally affected by Jupiter, the cosmic sugar daddy, turning direct at 6:37AM ET. Generally speaking, whatever plans for expansion were put on hold at the beginning of October may now begin to move forward. Thus the day likely begins on a note of optimism and especially big, bright ideas; like, for example, those presented by the creative genius who may have figured out a way of recovering losses suffered by investors in MF Global nearly 15 months ago. Or consider the joy of certain United Auto Workers who are about to receive profit-sharing checks worth $8300. Worth the wait?

At 5:49PM ET, a tenacious challenge of “get real” — for better or for worse — gets serious. That’s the flavor of the Sun (life force) being squared by stern Saturn. Watch the headlines and your own personal world for stories of necessary controls related to authority and ambition…or sobering thoughts that may give one pause. And here I would be thinking of the deadly threats posed by cute kitty cats or why your daily shower may be such a fearsome activity. I’m also thinking of yesterday’s news release that Boeing and All Nippon Airways were apparently aware that batteries used on (now-grounded) 787 Dreamliners were problematic. What other releases of information held back will we see today, hmm?

Moon goes void-of-course at 9PM ET and enters Libra at 1:36AM ET on Thursday. Take the evening off to chill and count the ways you are perfect just the way you are. There’s a lovely connection to the Moon from socially gracious Venus that suggests an evening of pleasant, yet modest indulgence. Enjoy.

Astro-logical Forecast for Tuesday 1/29/2013: Grounded; More on Jupiter Turning Direct

Start this day with your feet firmly planted on the ground — and put this down-to-earth energy to good use over the next couple of days. Moon entered perfectionist Virgo Monday night at 6:27PM ET, suggesting a need for discrimination and organization. Granted, Monday night might have been a little spacey or dreamy…but that pattern is behind us now. Today’s patterns suggest the potential for investigative depth and practical structure. Consider that a positive, even if you’re dealing with an obstacle presented by an authority figure who just doesn’t get it. Perhaps there is a way to create a structure that renders the authority figure obsolete?

A further note on Jupiter, planet of expansion, turning direct on Wednesday at 6:37AM ET. If you were born around the 27th of May, August, November or February….or if you have a planet or point at 6 degrees of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius or Pisces, you may have been feeling pressure to expand issues involving that planet or point since January 11th. If expansion has been held back or “bottlenecked”, you may see a release or opportunity to move forward after January 30th and through February 18th. That’s how long Jupiter will be sitting at 6 degrees of Gemini — and I think that’s pretty exciting. This growth may be directly related to an issue that came up around the Full Moon/Eclipse on November 28th, which was also at 6 degrees of Gemini/Sagittarius — and here’s what was said about that back then. Just note that you’ll see the Sabian Symbol given for that eclipse was 7 Gemini…because we always round up to the next degree when interpreting these symbols. In other words, if your Sun is at 6 degrees Gemini and 12 minutes, we round it up to 7. If it is 6 degrees and 0 minutes, we read for 6. Everyone clear on that?

Astro-logical Forecast for Monday 1/28/2013: Full Moon Fallout & Other Revelations

Some may still be processing a bit of bombast or overindulgence left over from Saturday night’s Big Fat Full Moon in Royal Leo. For them, the weekend drama continues with the Moon still in Leo, looking for recognition.

East Coasters, if you have to ship today, do it before 12PM ET, when the Moon goes void of course on a combative connection to aggressive Mars. A Moon-Mars opposition leading into a period of lunar freefall suggests the potential for a stubborn conflict that may run wild over the next six and a half hours. Fortunately you know the rules concerning crises that crop up during Moon voids: 1) Chill out; 2) Be patient; 3) Chances are this “crisis” is much ado about nothing. When Moon enters Virgo at 6:27PM ET, cooler heads and logic will likely prevail. Another potential is that you will allow yourself the luxury of playful wandering, which leads to a twist or new discovery in a creative endeavor.

We’ve got two patterns of note this week. Both happen on Wednesday and they both are being felt right now. First, a serious challenge between Sun (life force) and stern Saturn suggests a reach for ambition or, alternatively, a wet blanket raining on someone’s parade. For those who felt frustrated and/or militant around January 7th, you may experience another hit over the next few days. You are especially affected by this pattern if you were born around the 30th of January, April, July and October…or if you have a planet or an angle around 10 degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius.

The second pattern of note is Jupiter, which refers to expansion and luck, finally turning direct at 6 degrees of Gemini. If you know what area of your horoscope is ruled by Jupiter (hint: it’s the house with Sagittarius on the cusp), it may feel like you’ve been in a holding pattern or review period in the areas related to that house. A horoscope with Jupiter ruling the second house of finances and self worth, for example, may have gone through a major review of those issues during the past few months. With Jupiter turning direct, forward motion can now be expected. Consult your local astrologer for further details.

And now, the news. In Brazil, a pyrotechnical flare caused a fire in a nightclub in which hundreds were killed. The fire started at 2AM Sunday, a few hours after the “party hearty/too much of a good thing” Full Moon in Leo. The chart for 2AM in Santa Maria, Brazil shows aggressive Mars running wild in Aquarius (technology), exactly on an angle of the chart! This is amazing, given that there are 360 degrees in a horoscope, and the angles only make up 4 of them. Events happen when planets are on an angle! But this is astrology, folks, so we know we are going to see patterns suggesting a burst of energy for the moment a fire breaks out. A strongly placed Mars would be one possible pattern. And there it is, right in the horoscope for the fire in that nightclub. Coincidence or conspiracy?

In other news of breakthroughs in technology we would expect to see with all the Jupiter-Uranus activity we discussed last week, a startling report about Ariel Sharon, former prime minister of Israel,who suffered a devastating stroke six years ago. A recent brain scan (using new technology) shows considerable brain activity where it had been believed there was none (read the article and you’ll get chills when Sharon’s son talks about a dream he had of his father before the stroke). Looking at the alleged birth data for Ariel Sharon, it is interesting to note that his horoscope is directly affected by last week’s Jupiter-Uranus connection — a personal breakthrough or lucky break would be expected at this time.

Meanwhile, Iran announced it has sent a monkey into space. Cue Patti Smith on YouTube now, please.

Astro-logical Forecast for Friday 1/25/2013 & the Weekend: Party Hearty

On Thursday we were talking about two patterns that are exact today that suggest the potential for downs, followed by ups. A serious challenge between mental Mercury and stern Saturn at 1:42PM ET may find dealing with one heck of a stubborn, conservative mindset. Who invited the wet blanket to this party? With the Moon still in sensitive Cancer, try not to take it personally. Besides, odds are strong your mood will lighten as the day progresses and carries you off to a wild celebration on Saturday. The positive potential of the Mercury-Saturn square is a disciplined focus on building an innovative structure, minus a little fat. If your structure involves your home or family concerns, congratulations on putting the Cancer Moon to good use.

Moon goes void of course at 3:35PM ET, starting the weekend off early. A trine between the Sun and expansive Jupiter, exact at 10:56PM ET, is oh-so-jolly. The festive vibes continue with the Moon’s ingress into royal Leo, encouraging the drama queens in all of us to come out and play. Can you have too much of a good thing? Yeah, probably, especially with the Moon exactly full at 11:38PM ET. Oh what swell party it can be — though you may be feeling just a tad hungover on Sunday morning. Fortunately planetary activity is fairly light…and the Leo Moon will still be shining bright.

Heads up that the Moon will be void-of-course on Monday from 11:59AM ET until 6:27PM ET, when Moon finally enters Virgo. That’s when the accounting will likely begin. Until then…party on, dudes!

Astro-logical Forecast for Thursday 1/24/2013: This ‘n That

Moon entering Cancer at 10PM ET on Wednesday shifts our focus to homeland/emotional security needs and women, for example. Toss in a humanitarian, egalitarian and cooperative connection between the Aquarian Sun and rebel Uranus in pioneering Aries and presto! — the ban against women serving in combat in the U.S. military is about to be lifted. Another breakthrough in a week of breakthroughs — even without an Equal Rights Amendment ratified, already.

Be mindful of the potential for surprise or other disruptions to the status quo around 8:45AM ET, as rebel Uranus challenges the sensitive (touchy-feely) Cancer Moon, possibly janglng nerves. News of a power play, possibly ruthless, may hit the airwaves around 6:18PM ET, courtesy of Pluto. A need for stability as we integrate innovation likely required as a result of said power play/catharsis kicks in as evening approaches. We’ve got an interesting mix of patterns that will be exact tomorrow. On the one hand, a buoyant connection between the Sun and expansive Jupiter is sure to lift spirits. On the other hand, a sobering challenge between mental Mercury and disciplined Saturn presents a potential harsh reality check…and the Moon is waxing full (exact in Leo late Saturday night), so emotional energy is on the rise.

In other news, Hillary Rodham Clinton testified before Congress during yesterday’s Moon void and apparently there were plenty of knickers gotten into a twist. Much ado about nothing or actions without consequence — those are the usual results of Moon-void efforts to move forward in a straight line. Gambling and speculation are also on the front page, reflecting planetary patterns involving Jupiter (expansion, luck) and Uranus (risk). Did you know that Indiana is one of the biggest gambling states in the nation? Me neither…but now it is facing some stiff competition. In the stock market, Apple may have posted stellar returns, but its stock is tanking. And in Kansas, those in charge are now working hard to eliminate the state’s income tax — now there’s a gamble. Perhaps they will turn the state into a casino, to make up the lost revenue. And speaking of gambling, Morgan Stanley is being sued — and the speculations made by some of its employees in the months before the big giant crisis of September 2008 (which many astrologers predicted, thank you very much) are being revealed…and it is not pretty.

Last but not least, an amusing op-ed by Joyce Wadler expresses bewilderment at her sudden bluntness in communication, given her usual conscious concern for courtesy in social interactions. Well, duh. One look at her birth date — January 2, 1948 — instantly shows her idealistic Sun- Mercury (mindset, communication) hook-up being supercharged by ruthless Pluto. Of course she’s being blunt. And if she was born in the late afternoon or in the evening, she has Moon in people-pleasing Libra also being supercharged by the ultimately emancipating and empowering Uranus-Pluto square. Which can serve her well in her stated ambition to focus on her comedy writing, now that she’s just taken a buyout from her employer. Looks pretty good over the next couple of years…and Joyce, if you’re reading this, give me a call and we’ll put it all in perspective.

I hope you all have enjoyed this forecast, because thanks to the disruptions suggested by the Moon-Uranus (computers) square, I have typed it thrice, re-creating it from memory each time. Apparently there is a problem with my website hosting service, which is — as forecast — quite unsettling. These moments when I neglect to “save” before attempting to post, in my earnest rush to provide you with information to help you through the day are moments when I am also compelled to say that at the bottom of this forecast (if you are receiving this by email) OR on the left-hand side of this page (if you are reading this on my website), there is a link/big gold button which you can click to make a donation, for those who are inclined to use it to express appreciation. Such expressions of appreciation would be preferable to the email I received minutes ago wanting to know why I haven’t been writing about the FUBAR battery problems that have grounded Boeing’s fleet of Dreamliner 787s. Thank you, Universe, for reminding me that I am not perfect and there is always room for improvement.

But you know who IS perfect? Mark Marshall at Interage, my invaluable web designer, whose prompt and cheerful response to my website crisis will now allow me to post today’s forecast. If you’re in need of a web guru, you have found him — no matter where you live. Thank you, Mark, for everything you do.

And thank you for reading this forecast and for sharing it with the rest of the Free World. Have a fabulous day!
