Astrology Alert--Grand Cardinal Cross (Aug 23 - 31)

-
Venus, Wikipedia
If you woke up feeling in a rage and didn't know why or have been noticing a lot of media coverage about violence against women or children, we are experiencing a transiting Grand Cardinal Cross with Venus in Libra, Uranus in Aries, Jupiter in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn.  We have become used the Pluto/Uranus square and when Jupiter rolled into Cancer in June, we anticipated the T-Square with Jupiter/Pluto/Uranus, but now a fourth player Venus in Libra form the fourth corner.

(While some astrologers will place a positive spin on this Cross, I'm personally finding the energies horrendous and extremely challenging.  Just look at world events to give you an idea of the power of destruction represented by this Cross.  But of course after destruction comes recreation and hopefully greater balance).

A Grand Cross features oppositions and squares and anyone with Cardinal Sign planets (Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, and Libra) at 7 to 12 degrees will definitely feel the tension presented by these planets. Sure we could just endure the tension and anger that eats away at our minds and bodies or we can exercise vigorously (dance, go for a run, a long walk, or a workout that releases tension), spend as much time alone as possible to process your emotions (which will seem irrational and could come out as explosive bursts with Uranus and Pluto involved). Jupiter will exaggerate circumstances and blow arguments and disagreements out of portion and these arguments will most likely start from differences in religious and philosophical beliefs.  Since Venus is in Libra, women are targets for violent acts so it's best not to play any passive-aggressive games at this time, stay away from dangerous people or people who experience quick anger.  Now is not a time to engage in philosophical debates and it really is best to keep to oneself until this square passes.  And yet, we will still deal with the T-Square with Jupiter, Pluto and Uranus then later this fall, Mars moves into Libra.

Perhaps, what we experience now is a rehearsal for more challenging times ahead.  Stay safe.

A Capricorn Sense of Humor

  Yes, Virginia, Capricorns Have a Sense of Humor Often I hear from others that Capricorns don't have a sense of humor. And it's true that many astrologers have painted a bleak and doom picture of our Capricorn friends. I have a Capricorn Rising Sign and half of my birth family is Capricorn. We have enjoyed raucous laughter. So, let me tell you about Capricorn humor. It's not as refined as Libra wit nor does it fall in line with Scorpionic dark humor or Sagittarius vulgar humor. And yet, Capricorn humor contains elements of vulgarity, darkness, and refinement. And it is as quirky as Aquarius humor and as surreal as Pisces humor. And yet, it is in a league of its own. Let's gaze at the humor of actresses Julia-Louise Dreyfus and Diane Keaton. I really only remember Julia-Louise from her Seinfeld days. I never watched any of the movies in which she appeared. This comedic actress wed physical humor with surrealism and she wasn't shy of express

Liz Gilbert, TED TALKS Whole Astrology is now over four years old. I'm pulling this article from the 2012 archives. It as popular when I first posted it so I'm sure it's still of interest. I mentioned Liz Gilbert in my article on meditation by planet.  Then a colleague sent me sent me this chart   You can also view the chart below. Cancer Sun Aries AC Virgo Moon  I doubt that Liz Gilbert was born at 12:00 p.m. and usually when a person is given an Aries AC at 12:00 p.m. it is because a birth time is missing, not always though.  I don't see any yods in the chart, but if these are the right houses for Liz, then we can see where the events of "Eat, Pray, Love" came from. Star IQ Astrology site In the seventh house (of marriage), Liz has Uranus and Jupiter at 0 degrees Libra , a perfect conjunction.  Since the planets are at 0 degrees Libra, they have just entered that sign, and the Libran energies of partnership would feel new to the natal Jupit

Uranus Transits from 1930s to 2019---Radical Change

For the past several months, I've been researching the ways Uranus has ushered in changes through several decades beginning in the 1940s. Originally, I was considering writing a series with PDFs for each transit per sign along with podcasts. But now, I'm considering writing a book that will include the 1960s transits and the Uranus transits. For now, I'm going to include a brief article featuring each Uranus transit and the events and people that appeared during those times. The equation is Uranus' shocking grassroots energy + the themes of each Zodiac Sign. Uranus also formed a conjunction with Pluto in the 1960s. And after the Harmonic Convergence, the late 1980s, Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn formed a powerful Triple Conjunction in Capricorn. We're currently seeing the kids born during that time taking leadership positions (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for starters). The dates below sometimes don't include the dip back into the previous Z
