Today’s Celebrity Birthday: Billy Connolly

Scottish comedian/musician/presenter/actor: for Billy Connolly the hyphens go on and on. It’s typical for a Sagittarius performer to have cross-cultural appeal and international success. Connolly has traveled the world and made people think, listen and laugh along the way.

General Influences:
Mars is the planetary energy of action. In the enthusiastic fire sign Sagittarius, Mars tends to view life as one big adventure, eager to explore new horizons. This is an impulsive and restless energy that needs the freedom to be mentally and physically active. Energy and attention focuses on belief systems and personal philosophy as Sagittarius is a seeker of truth. What is true for you might not be true for someone else, as Mars in Sagittarius has the tendency to get irritated and even dogmatic with others who do not share the same beliefs and ideologies. International affairs, religion, higher education, publishing, and the judicial system are areas where the action is likely to be. Certainly Mars in Sagittarius is sure to warm up the celebrations and religious observances that will occur during this time, as Mars in Sagittarius can be brutally honest!

Mars in Sagittarius can create muscle aches/inflammation…

Astrology in real life

The Moon is heading into square aspect with Pluto and there is a void (Pluto) in the house (Moon). Vid and Clucky are gone for the weekend, the soldier hit the road today so that means it’s just me and Dora.

It also means this house is completely and utterly void of testosterone when it’s usually so full to the brim and the impact is extreme. I feel like the beach when the tide rolls out. You think it’ll be okay. Intellectually I could tell you all the reasons why this is okay but emotionally it’s very harsh even though I’ve had plenty of warning.

Happy solar return month to Sagittarians! With the Sun’s vitality filtered through this mutable fire sign, we can change direction quickly, as instinct and intuition spark an inner knowing…

By Milky Way Maid

Mercury enters Sagittarius Sunday, Pluto enters Capricorn again on Wednesday, Uranus goes direct in Pisces on Thursday, and Venus is applying to a conjunction to her sugar daddy Jupiter the Monday following the holiday. Whew, this is too much going on all at once. Mercury in Sag is very optimistic and this placement will boost the level of messages (and also possibly some telecom stock?). Uranus direct on a holiday might raise the spirituality quotient; it may also prompt more families to play host to an exchange student or reach out to others who are different from themselves.

Jupiter and Saturn just made their long-term trine aspect exact on the 21st; Venus made her conjunction to Pluto back on the eleventh; now she runs from a sextile to Uranus (romance) to a trine to Saturn (commitment?) before dashing off to her favorite sugar daddy (and everyone’s favorite sugar daddy, actually), Jove…

by Lynn HayesThe Dow Jones average continued its spectacular slide last week, ending with the average below 8000 for the first time since 2003.  It’s interesting to look at the history of the rise of the DJIA.  In November 1972…

Though it is not official yet, it seems that Hillary Clinton has accepted to be Secretary of State (Minister of Foreign Affairs). As long as neither Obama nor Clinton have confirmed this, the message in the NY Times remains just speculation, But if that is true, the probability that she was born at 20:00 hours grows. That hour was initially supposed to be the correct birth time of Hillary Clinton. Later there were doubts. But using 20:00 hours transit Jupiter would be semi square her natal Midheaven today and transit Uranus inconjunct her progressed Ascendant: positive crucial change would have come into her life. We will just have to wait till Tuesday, when Obama is to present (the names of) his team.

So the Piper Cub takes off with the nerve agent, one the SF guys takes off after it in a bigger, faster plane. Meantime command is struggling to get the phone going. They have no communications.

There is some urgency because this plane is headed into the city (their city of course) with this deadly stuff. (swearing below the break)
