Unless you’ve been living in a nice cave, shielded from the media, you heard some mention of NBA star LeBron James (12/30/84) and pop star Lady GaGa (3/28/86) lately. King James as he is known, has a Capricorn Sun and Aries Moon. Folks, he’s not staying in Cleveland. Capricorn is the boss now. With his progressed Mercury (Cap) close to his natal Jupiter, his business empire could begin to eclipse his basketball success. You’d love SoBe LB.
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, AKA Lady Gaga, has an Aries Sun and Scorpio Moon. Her driving force in the last 2 1/2 years has been transiting Pluto conjunct her natal Mars @ 0º Capricorn (with the help of her progressed Sun entering Taurus and forming a trine to her natal Mars). Her progressed Mercury is approaching a conjunction to her natal Sun over the next couple years. With that, and Uranus crossing her Sun until early 2014, we can expect her to continue morphing into something fresh and new.

As I contemplate this week’s Venus / Neptune opposition (exact on 7/8/10 @ 7:55 PM ET-US) an email arrives. Oh, it’s from PayPal…better see what it is. At first glance it looks all official and everything. Then I notice the strange syntax, and the request for me to click on a link to “reset”‘ something. My suspicion was growing by the second. Yep, after moving the cursor over the link it reveals something other than PayPal. Phishing! OK, so I reported it to PayPal and got back to thinking about this particular transiting aspect. How perfect. An attempt at fraud under a Venus / Neptune opposition. This possibility applies to relationships as well as money. I wouldn’t sign on any dotted lines for the next few days (we’re between eclipses anyway). Careful with those all those perfect match.com connections this week – things aren’t always what they seem.

No major aspects today (don’t worry, they’re coming soon). We do have a pleasant Mercury / Venus parallel, while the Moon, in Leo, will form a cooperative sextile to the Sun in Gemini. So, go out and win friends and influence people, as Dale Carnegie once said.

Venus enters fiery Leo this morning and will immediately form a trine to Uranus and Jupiter in Aries. This will be an exciting day for many, with the potential for love at first sight (or surprising romantic revelations), as well as unexpected financial opportunities. Pay close attention to the people who come into your life today. Those individuals born around 3/21, 7/23, or 11/23 could benefit the most (early Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius). On Tuesday, July 15, Mars in Virgo will trine Pluto in Capricorn. This would be a powerful day to start a business, or most ventures, for that matter. Those born in late April, August, and September (early Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn) will ge the most out of this aspect. Carpe Diem!

The New Moon in Gemini is at 7:15 AM (EDT-US). While it’s a mentally stimulating, chatty New Moon, Mercury, in Gemini, will form a difficult aspect to Pluto. It may be wise to hold back on speaking your mind just yet. We have some exciting, powerful aspects forming on Monday and Tuesday. Stay tuned.

This morning Mercury entered Gemini, the sign it rules. It will form a T-square with Mars in Virgo and Chiron in Pisces (having recently stationed retrograde at 0º Pisces). In plain English: Watch your words. There’s a tendency to argue or let ego get in the way of communication with this configuration. Folks used to say to their kids: “sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can never hurt you”. Yeah, yeah….
Poet Maya Angelou has another take:
“I believe that words are things. Someday we will be able to know and measure, as mad as it sounds, we’ll be able to measure the hostility or kindness that emanates from certain words that people exhume when they say certain things. I think they stick on the walls, they go into the upholstery, they go into your clothes, and finally into your very body.”

Mars is in the last degree of Leo today, conjunct the royal star Regulus @ 29º Leo. This conjunction takes place every couple years. Regulus is referred to as “the heart of the Lion” and is the brightest star in that constellation. Ancient astrologers considered Regulus to be similar to Jupiter and Mars. Some associate Regulus with violent energy. German astrologer (and physician) Reinhold Ebertin connected Regulus to royalty, nobility, and courage. Mars conjunct Regulus holds potential for other consequences. Ebertin and (Georg) Hoffman’s book “Fixed Stars & Their Interpretation” states:
“…when Mars or Saturn are in conjunction with Regulus, especially exciting events are always recorded e.g. assassinations, coup d’etats, revolutions, revolts, demonstrations, overthrow of heads of state and similar events.¹”
The only Mars/Regulus assassination I’ve been able to find so far is that of Russell G. Lloyd, Sr. (March 29, 1932 – March 21, 1980) mayor of Evansville, Indiana. On September 1, 1970 there was an assassination attempt against King Hussein of Jordan, with Mars conjunct Regulus (ya gotta love Wikipedia). On June 28th, 1914 Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated. Mars was @ 1º Virgo, a couple degrees away from Regulus. On Nov. 3rd, 1964 President Lyndon Johnson defeated Barry Goldwater winning by a landslide 60+% of the vote. Mars was @ 28º Leo, conjunct Regulus. Hmm, well he did become president in Nov. 1963 as a result of JFK’s assassination. As for Saturn conjunct Regulus: on May 9, 1949, Rainier III, Prince of Monaco (May 31, 1923 – April 6, 2005), became The Sovereign Prince of Monaco, and ruled the Principality of Monaco for more than 50 years, making him one of the longest ruling monarchs of the 20th century (Wikipedia). Saturn represents stability and Regulus is a royal star. (Saturn had just gone stationary direct at 29º Leo a week prior). Always remember, Leo rules the heart. Mars / Regulus has tremendous potential, so act from your heart – today and always. For more on the Regulus / Mars conjunction go to EarthSky.
