*+-(Read Part 1 here) Some habits, some patterns, seem impossible to change, fix, defeat. This is about my Mars (desire) in Cancer (security, food) square Jupiter (excess, optimism). It’s not that I binge eat although if you give me a decent-sized portion of food, I will likely finish it. It’s […]
Jupiter in Taurus
37 posts
(Pictured here is Prince, a Gemini! And I do remember when this issue of Rolling Stone came out!) *** I have a stellium in Taurus by transit in my chart. That means it doesn’t really belong there 😉 It’s just visiting. In my natal chart, I have Saturn in Taurus. […]
*+-I tend to listen to songs obsessively, especially when I’m writing. Lately I’m hooked on a handful of songs from the band Over the Rhine. I know absolutely nothing about this band. I was probably listening to a “similar artist” on Spotify or Pandora and that’s how I find my […]
*+-What dream did you forget? What was it that you wanted? Not these exact words but something like them I was writing to a querent who was asking about the Gemini Eclipse in her chart. It must have been an 11th House transit for her. I can’t remember exactly. Hopes […]
*+-It’s gonna be a good day, people. Okay? Good day good day good day. New start new start new start. Or as Dr. Shepard says on Grey’s Anatomy: it’s a beautiful day to save lives. But let it be your own today. Pisces rules saviors, remember? The Moon is in […]
*+-Jupiter IS direct but I just don’t feel like expanding. See, Jupiter is direct in Taurus: stubborn, slow, pastoral. Mars in quick in Virgo but retrograde and also pastoral! Virgo rules the field. Sense a theme here? This is what I’m thinking (Virgo): let the land lie fallow if it wants […]
*+-I can feel life slow down. And I can feel life speed up. And over the last day or so I felt this shift and today while waiting for my train I became conscious of my Life in the Big City. Do you know that feeling? You become aware of… […]
*+-Look at the sky: Sun in Earth, Moon in Earth, Mars in Earth, Jupiter and Pluto: Earth. How strong do you feel? How strong do you want to feel? I didn’t feel so well today. Took off from my other job but at some point in the afternoon, I felt […]
*+-I think a lot about money. I think a lot about money because I am looking for it. This topic is complex and, I think, taboo. I have Jupiter in my 2nd House. Money feels good to me. This probably sounds strange to say, but why not say it. I […]
*+-Do you dare approach what scares you more than anything? And do you even KNOW what that THING is? What must you peel back to uncover it? And you know, surely you realize, that the thing you think it is… isn’t it at all. An email from a client inspired […]
*+-You must do the work of Saturn, wherever transiting Saturn is in your chart/life now. If not? You may (yes, you may) sink into despair or feel frazzled due to the opportunities you aren’t taking. Yes, I used a Jupiter word (opportunity) for Saturn. Why? Because I believe (Jupiter) it […]
*+-You want to know how I’m using this Earth energy? And by Earth energy I mean Mars in Virgo trining Venus in Capricorn which is conjuncting Pluto and don’t forget retrograde Jupiter in Taurus… What I’m doing is upgrading my altar. Which I keep misspelling as ALTER. But no. I’m […]
*+-I wrote a Venus in Capricorn post this morning and neglected to mention Venus trining Jupiter! Guess I wasn’t feelin’ it. I’ll blame this oversight on Mercury Retrograde and Jupiter Retrograde. Sometimes we miss what is right in front of us. But one would think, yes, one would think this […]
*+-Mars is at 4 degrees Virgo.  Jupiter is at 2 degrees Taurus. Pluto in Capricorn is at 5 degrees.  And today’s Moon in Virgo (yay!) is at 9 degrees at the moment. How to work with earth? Especially Mars in Earth (Virgo)? By working! And because it’s a trine? It won’t […]
*+-How free are you? I mean *really free*. Could you leave it all behind, whatever you have? Your things, your home, your people, whoever is around you? And for what would you give it all up? I’m thinking about Jupiter Retrograde and how I don’t believe the retrograde cancels out […]
*+-What are you learning these days? That’s where transiting Jupiter is in your chart. How are you growing, expanding? That’s also where Jupiter is in your chart. Maybe you’re even becoming more optimistic, positive in areas of life you previously thought were dead. Maybe you’re seeing the Bigger Picture. And maybe, […]
*+-I was emailing someone today who sounded like she’d lost perspective. Lost it a while ago. And what did I find? Natal Venus (love) in her 9th House of higher mind, and transiting Saturn inconjuncting that Venus. Transiting Jupiter, however, will conjunct her Venus in 2012, expanding that love and […]
*+-These notes are from yesterday… On the Broadway side of Zuccotti Park there was a big white banner, big as the Full Moon. It said “Occupy Wall Street stands with Occupy Boston, Occupy Seattle, Occupy Des Moines.” And there was a group of protesters sitting in front of it, legs […]
*+-Faith and belief are like smoke. They rise. I’ve got Jupiter on my mind tonight because I am seeking perspective. Rising like smoke is good because what happens is you LOOK UP. Â You can see the mountains then. Â You can see past your own limits which are no longer limits. […]
*+-Good Morning Stargazers! (Or good evening, good afternoon…). Are you ready to say goodbye to summer? I know it’s not official yet, but once August is done? Then I’m done with summer! Living in the Big City, waiting on those subway platforms in 90+ temperatures sometimes, I have often wondered […]
*+-A professor friend of mine told me that his buddies in the meteorology department told him that predicting the weather is “an art, not a science.” I grew up in Miami. There’s no way to know which way these things will turn for sure. Many will probably accuse Mayor Bloomberg […]
*+-The weather dude on the radio just mentioned the New Moon making things worse for this “perfect storm,” Hurricane Irene. We all know about the moon and tides but rarely do we (I) think of it so literally and how it affects us. Still, I smiled at astrology on the […]
*+-Leo Season! We’ve got Sun, Venus, and Mercury Retrograde in Leo and the Full Moon in Aquarius in opposition. Mars is in the early degrees of Cancer, pulling away from the Pluto Uranus cardinal square and will square Saturn soon enough (not fun, but won’t last forever 😉 Jupiter hanging […]
*+-When the world, or portions of it, appear to be falling apart, I still write. And I still write personally. It’s what I do. It’s what I do here so let this be your escape, if you want one. I had written a draft of a post on trauma on […]
