(LOL @ that picture, had to choose it!)
Time for another character analysis! I was going to post this tomorrow but it turns out today is National Ghostbusters Day, so I had to do it today! Plus tomorrow is weekly scope day, and I didn't want this post to get lost in that. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the release of the movie Ghostbusters, and tomorrow, a restored and remastered version is being re-released. We all know and love this movie - who doesn’t think green foodie ghosts are cute? - so I thought I’d go into the astrology of the 4 main characters, the Ghostbusters themselves: Egon Spengler, Raymond Stantz, Winston Zeddemore, and Peter Venkman. Btw, have you seen the talk that Ghostbusters 3 will be a female cast? I’m not sure how to feel about that . . . I’m all for female-driven films (there’s so little of that, it’s almost a joke), and there are some seriously funny chicks that are pretty popular right now, but I have a hard time picturing it with Ghostbusters. Then again, I have a hard time picturing anyone other than the original 4! Though this piece on TIME makes a compelling case for a reboot of the franchise. EGON Egon (Harold Ramis, how we miss thee) is the super-science guy of the quartet, the one always spewing out things that don’t make sense to us normal dumb-dumbs, with gadgets in hand and ready to analyze anything. This leads me right to a Virgo-Aquarius-Gemini combo, with Virgo being the sign that has to get into the details, Aquarius being the sign of science, and Gemini being the sign of gadgets and the mind. I’d bet his Sun, Mercury, and Venus are conjunct in one of those signs, perhaps Virgo since he lacks the social grace of an air sign, and his Mars is in another sign, perhaps Aquarius since he’s kind of a weirdo (I say that lovingly, but Mars in Aquarius has a tendency to be a little weird). That could put his Moon in Gemini, which would show the love of gadgets. He doesn’t talk too much, which a typical Moon in Gemini does, but perhaps a prominent Saturn, or having a Saturn-Mercury harsh aspect, would tone that down. GENIUS The immediate thing I thought of with Egon is that he seems like a genius (in the conventional sense, anyway), so he’d likely have some genius aspects in his chart. Genius can be shown through quintiles and septiles, which are minor aspects but highly creative in the genius kind of way, especially with Uranus to the Sun, Moon, Mercury, or Ascendant (although, oddly, sometimes no aspect between Uranus and Mercury can be indicative as well). Given his mental dexterity, I’d also guess his Uranus is in his 3rd house, the house of the mind. Uranus in the 3rd house would also downplay the talky-ness of a Gemini Moon, making him seem more awkward. RAYMOND Raymond (Dan Aykroyd) is the sweet one of the bunch, the one who’s a little child-like with his love of the paranormal, and just look at how much he loved that firehouse. There’s an innocent curiosity to him, which leads me to Aries Sun in the 3rd house or Gemini Sun in the 1st house. Aries in the 3rd house would make him an Aquarius or Capricorn rising, while Gemini in the 1st would make him a Gemini rising. I lean toward the Gemini Sun, Gemini rising, as Gemini is the sweetly curious sign. I’d put his Moon in Aries then, which would give him the energy and enthusiasm he has, and his Moon would be in the 11th house of friends and groups. He’s in an important group, for sure! WINSTON Winston (Ernie Hudson; btw, Winston Zeddemore is one of my fave names ever) is the one who comes on once the group has gotten some fame and success, and they need to take someone on to help with the workload. He doesn’t seem to care very much about the science of it all, and just goes with the flow. I get a very earthy feel from Winston; earth signs in play are Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn. I’d put his Sun in the 6th house (naturally ruled by Virgo) of work, since he’s a worker bee. I like his Mars in Taurus, sticks with what he does, not too high or low. I also get a very manly feel from Winston, so I’m thinking perhaps Mars, a very masculine planet, is in his 1st house of the self. That would make him a Taurus rising, which goes with the earthiness. VENKMAN Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) is the loverboy-man of the group, the jokester, the one who may have two PhD’s but you have no clue how he got them. Venkman is fire signs all the way, especially Leo and Sagittarius. With his constant need for attention, I’d go with Leo Sun and Mercury in the 1st house - it’s gotta be all about HIM, always! Leo can also be a jokester, especially as the rising sign. I’d put his Moon in Sagittarius - doesn’t get down and out about much, always looking at the brighter side, ever the optimistic, and always looking to sell-sell-sell, talking people into things he shouldn’t be. With Leo rising, his Moon would be in the 5th house of love, and we all know about his hormones. Going with the hormones, I’d make his Venus and Mars conjunct - that tends to supply a super-healthy libido. ASTEROID CASANOVA Yes, there is an asteroid named Casanova (number 7328 on astro.com if you want to look it up in your chart; mine is opposite my Jupiter and square my AC/DC axis, and I so hate Casanovas IRL). Wouldn’t it fit if that asteroid was prominent for Venkman? Perhaps conjunct a personal planet (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars), or in his 1st house of the self (or on the Midheaven, which can show how you project yourself). So those are my astrological ideas for the Ghostbusters! Q: If you see a ghost, who ya gonna call? A: A shrink. - Nic 
Hermes was first discovered in 1937 by Karl Reinmuth in Germany, but then was lost for a while and rediscovered in 2003. The Greek god Hermes is the Roman god Mercury, so asteroid Hermes is very similar to Mercury (pretty funny it was lost for a while then!). Hermes was the was the god of thieves, commerce, shepherds, liars, and travelers (some of those seem worse than others, eh?).
Astrologically, according to Mark Andrew Holmes, Hermes seems to have something to do with cleverness, intelligence, divisiveness, division, and occultism. My Hermes is in Capricorn and my 2nd house. I try to be clever with my resources and goals? Actually, it can show professionally (Capricorn) making money (2nd house) off of the occult (Hermes) - ha! Hermes is square my Mercury (so I better watch my tongue), Deucalion (I can be clever with change?), Apollo (if I don't take it for granted), and Achilles (or let it be my downfall). On astro.com, Hermes is number 69230. In transit, Hermes can show where you'll need to have some of that quick wit and sharp intelligence. To find where Hermes currently is located you can use astro.com (go to extended chart selection, then click on ephemeris, and type 1862 in the additional asteroids and other objects section). Hermes is currently in Leo and square my Saturn, ruler of my 3rd house - gotta watch what I say! September 2014 Full & New Moons: Full Moon in Pisces & New Moon in Libra
A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are exactly opposing one another in the zodiac. It tends to signal a time of endings, culminations, and things coming to fruition. A new moon occurs when the transit Sun and Moon are in the exact same spot in the zodiac. It tends to signal a time of new opportunities, growth, and optimism. For information on how the new/full moons may impact your sign, read the monthly horoscope. September 8th 2014 Full Moon in Pisces A full moon occurs at 9:38PM ET at 16 degrees 19 minutes of Pisces. In Pisces, we feel connected to our emotions, and let them lead us astray. We’ve been avoiding them with the last few full moons, and now, our feelings come pouring out. They can drive us to do great things, or make us do terrible things. We’re sensitive to criticism, and want to be treated with kid gloves. We hurt each other’s feelings without realizing it. We want to help other people, especially the most vulnerable, and feel more compassionate and understanding of the pain that exists in the world. We’ll help out anyone who asks for help, and sacrifice part of ourselves to do so. Something important could come to an end, a cycle or way of life. We pay more attention to spiritual matters. Pisces rules water, toxins, and feet, so we could see some developments there. If you're a Pisces Sun, Moon, or mid-Pisces rising, you may feels the effects of this moon most. September 24th 2014 New Moon in Libra A new moon occurs at 2:14AM ET at 1 degrees 7 minutes of Libra. In Libra, we want to bring some peace and harmony into the world. We’re not up for any sort of fighting, and prefer trying to compromise and find some middle ground. If there’s no need to go to war, we’ll avoid it. We try to be more fair and give people a real chance. We treat everyone with respect and as an equal. We can see both sides to any situation, and have a hard time committing to a decision as a result. We’re polite, have good manners, and present ourselves with grace and class. Libra is the sign of committed partnerships, so we could see people pairing off left and right, hear news regarding love/marriage/relationships, and spend more time with people in one-on-one settings. If you're a Libra Sun, Moon, or rising, you may feel the effects of this moon most. General horoscopes are always meant for entertainment purposes only. For a more accurate view, read your Sun sign, Rising sign, and Moon sign.

Having too much to do drains you as well, and you need plenty of time alone to recover from tasks. Your imagination soars, and you can get lost in daydreams and fantasies. This is a great time if you’re an artistic type, but it’s not good for dealing with reason and logic. You have a harder time than usual wrapping your mind around cold facts and figures. The Sun joins Mercury in Virgo on August 23rd, and you feel most like yourself when you’re alone. You’re easily drained physically and mentally, so you need to give yourself time to rest and replenish the energy you’ve lost.

You’re dreamy and imaginative, but struggle with reality. You may come across as compassionate, sweet, and vulnerable.

A new moon occurs in Virgo on August 25th, and you can let go of something you no longer need and have wanted to be rid of for some time, and it’s not an emotional experience, but one you enjoy and look forward to. It’s a good time to clear the clutter physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually to get ready for the next new moon in your sign. You can get the opportunity to do something in the background or where someone else gets the credit, or you get recognized for work you’ve been doing in the background. This can be a time of quietly plotting and planning your next steps.

You look at the success in your life, and it makes you feel good about yourself. You might be a little lazy though, and not work toward your goals at all, feeling that they’ll come to you, but you need to put in a little effort. A little will go a long way. You can make an excellent impression on someone, and are more comfortable in the public eye. This is a great time for you if your work in the arts or beauty industry. If single, you can meet someone through your or their career, through a parent, boss, or mentor, or who is much older than you. If in a relationship, you can be a little distant with your partner, putting duty before love. On August 15th, Mercury moves into earth sign Virgo, and you do your best thinking when you’re in a group or with your friends. You want to have multiple opinions and people to bounce ideas off of to give you as many perspectives as you can get. You come up with wild ideas and are interested in innovative solutions. You’re not usually open to unconventionality, but you’re intrigued now. You can meet more people and do more networking, especially online. Any new friends are more casual acquaintances than anything else though. On August 23rd, the Sun enters Virgo, joining Mercury, and you feel most like yourself when you’re in a group or with your friends. You want to be around people who make you feel like you belong, and who have the same thinking as you. You can spend more time with friends, and a friend could be in the spotlight. You can meet lots of new people and make new friends, but you keep it casual. You can spend more time in groups you belong to, or join a new group. You embrace what makes you a unique person, and want to be a true individual. You may come across as more rebellious, futuristic, and distant. On August 10th, a full moon occurs in air sign Aquarius, and you can finish a home improvement project, finalize a move or the buying or selling of real estate, settle a dispute with a family member, or cut ties with a relative. You’re sensitive at your very core, and something could happen that makes you feel that your inner foundation has been rocked. If that’s the case, you may need to look internally and figure out ways to strengthen your internal foundation so that doesn’t happen again. On August 25th, a new moon occurs in Virgo, and you can make a new friend, join a new group, focus on a hope, wish, or dream for your future, and seem a little idealistic. You can do something charitable or take up a humanitarian cause. You can take a step back and look at the world from a wider perspective, and you see further down the road than usual, which calms you emotionally.

ARIES Your mind is on love during the first half of August, and you feel comfortable when you have a lot of people interested in you. You can be a bit of a flirt, so if you’re attached, watch it! During the second half of the month, your flirt factor increases, and it seems like everyone is trying to court you, whether you want to be courted or not. You take the attention in stride, and let ‘em down easy. The 27th could be when passions run highest for you, and having someone around to help you work through it will be beneficial. TAURUS During the first half of August, love for you is more cerebral, and you want a mental connection. You can try online dating, and enjoy the interesting discussion and the way they dig into your mind. You’re casual about it, and prefer to think about the possibilities instead of do anything right away. The second half of August is better for action, and you can feel a love connection, especially around the new moon in your love sector on the 25th. The 27th might be a difficult day though, and you have to watch for getting into a fight. GEMINI You want to take things slow in love during the first half of August, and don’t want to be pushed into anything. You’ll make your decision when you feel you’re ready, and no one will be able to tell you otherwise. You prefer to be with someone who is sensual and will feed you chocolate-covered strawberries and give you back massages. Later in August, you’re ready to take a step back from the physical and dip into their mind for a while, getting to know how they think, what they think about, and if it’s you! CANCER Venus, the planet of love, is in your sign until August 12th, so you’re the love goddess for the first half of August. Just wiggle your finger and everyone falls at your feet (sort of). Your powers of attraction are heightened, and you’re in the mood for love. The full moon on the 8th stirs up feelings of jealousy and makes you a little more clingy than you need to be. Avoid the urge to be a vengeful ex, and focus your passion on your current sweetie. On the 23rd, the Moon aligns with Venus, and you can show all of the love and affection you feel. LEO You might feel a lot for someone to start August, but you keep it to yourself. You don’t want to share your lovey-dovey feelings right away, and if you have a beau, prefer to get dirty when no one’s looking. Sure, Leo loves the spotlight, but everyone needs some time out of the glare every once in a while. On August 12th, Venus enters your sign, and you’re the latest love goddess. Put on a toga and have your lover feed you grapes. The full moon on August 10th makes you want to commit more to them - or less? VIRGO You feel that it’s important for you to have a connection with someone that’s not only physical and carnal, but that is also one of friendship. If you’re not friends, you won’t stay together when the passion ebbs, and you want something that’s going to last. You can try to improve the base of friendship in your current relationship, or decide to be friends with someone new first before taking it to the next level. If you start to have real feelings for them, you’ll likely keep them to yourself, waiting for the right moment in September. LIBRA You put love aside during the first half of August, wanting to focus more on your goals and ambitions, and when you do embrace love, you’re more practical and detached. You just don’t feel that it’s the right time for it. During the second half of August, you can have a better connection with someone, but chances are, you still take it slow and start platonically. The full moon on the 10th makes you re-evaluate your love relationships, and you can decide to cut ties with someone, especially come the 27th. SCORPIO You want to have an adventure in love during the first half of August, feeling that it shouldn’t be taken so seriously. You want to enjoy yourself with your partner, or a potential suitor. You could have lots of new suitors, and you play with them all, keeping things casual while enjoying the physical. During the second half of August, you decide it’s time to stop the playing and get more serious, and chances are, you’ll abandon all of the suitors in favor of something more practical and responsible. SAGITTARIUS Love is intense as August begins, and you don’t want anything light and fluffy. You want to feel as close to someone as you possibly can, and can lose yourself in another person. Be careful you don’t take things too far, otherwise you might get arrested for stalking. Channel your passion in the bedroom instead. Later in August, you can lose the intensity and become more playful but not want any attachment. You want to be free to roam as you please, and not have anyone to check in with constantly. CAPRICORN This is very much a month for relationships, and you begin August focused on your partner, or on having a committed relationship. You take it seriously, and you can throw yourself into an existing or new relationship. On the 1st, you want to show the level of your commitment so they don’t doubt your loyalty. Come the 26th, you might have a little bump in the road though, and feel your loyalty being questioned. Don’t give in to a major outburst that’ll only make things worse. AQUARIUS When the month of August begins, your mind is on relationships and commitment, and you feel comfortable when you have someone by your side to share your life with. If single, you work harder to find this. Later in the month, you find more pleasure in being in a relationship, and experience more intimacy and passion. The new moon on the 25th amplifies this, and helps the single folk find someone new. On the 25th, you can feel like experimenting with your partner, and try something you’ll both enjoy. PISCES You can be loving and affectionate as August begins, and freely share the love you feel. You’re a little flirty and fun, romantic and sweet, and people are attracted to you. You become more serious about love during the second half of August, and you want to have an actual commitment. The new moon on the 25th in your relationships sector could facilitate this. You’re enthusiastic and ready to commit yourself to someone, and if attached, you can do something new with your partner to show them how committed you are. General horoscopes are always meant for entertainment purposes only. For a more accurate view, read your Sun sign, Rising sign, and Moon sign.
ARIES You have a hard time getting your head in the game during the first half of August, but you get back into it during the second half. You have a great eye for the details, can stay organized, and get done lots of tasks and projects. You’re a good coworker, and can take orders as long as no one is breathing down your neck. You might be a bit lazy on the 1st though, but you can take control on the 15th. On the 25th, you’re focused, disciplined, and hard-working, and dedicate yourself to anything you’re tasked to do. TAURUS You do well with smaller tasks during the first half of August, and can stay busy with lots of little things to do. You’re good at dealing with anything written, or having to talk someone into doing something. During the second half of August, you’re better with the stuff that you’ve done before and know very well. The full moon on the 10th occurs in your career, life path, and goals sector, and you see a goal come to fruition if you’ve been working hard and smart, or see one blow up in your face if you haven’t been. GEMINI On the 2nd, you come up with a big idea that you’re really into, but probably won’t follow through with. Find a way to motivate yourself and see it through. On the 8th, you can create opportunities for yourself, or are presented with one you want to grab. The full moon on the 10th urges you to deal with any legal issues before you proceed with anything else. On the 21st, you feel in control of the situation, and on the 25th, your discipline and focus is high, so you can make things happen as you want them to. CANCER August is largely a money month for you, and you can focus on your budget and create opportunities for you to make and have more money during the first half of August. During the second half, you have an easier time making money that you need, and can improve your financial situation if you avoid blowing it on stuff you don’t really need. The full moon on the 10th focuses on your joint finances, and the money you make that makes other people money too. Settle debts and business disputes. LEO You can put yourself out there and take a chance on yourself during the first half of August, and people respond well to you. The second half of August finds you more focused on your finances, and you work hard to make good things happen for you. The new moon on the 25th in your money sector could be especially helpful, and you see a financial opportunity presented to you, and you can improve your finances in a bigger way than you think you can. Confidence helps you a lot, and you’ve got it in spades! VIRGO The full moon on the 10th occurs in your work sector, which might make you butt heads with coworkers, but you put more feeling into your work, and connect with it on an emotional level. Some of you may find that this connection is lacking, and it’s time for you to find work that has that connection for you. The 8th and 21st are especially good if you’re job-hunting, and you come across well on the 8th, and present yourself as a force to be reckoned with on the 21st. On the 25th, you impress the right people. LIBRA During the first half of August, Venus is in your career, life path, and goals sector, and you find it easy to make progress in your career, work toward a goal, and move along your life path. You can charm bosses and make good impressions. Some of you will have to work to avoid laziness though. The full moon on the 10th brings out your creativity, and this is a good month for you if you work in a creative/artistic field. Even if you don’t, explore ways in which you can use creativity in your work. SCORPIO You’re much more focused on your direction and goals during the first half of August, and your ambition is heightened. You want to achieve, you want to succeed, and you want it now. You’ll put in the long hours and hard work required of you, and you expect results no matter how long it takes. On the 15th, your energy is higher, and you’re driven to get work done and push things a little further. Your enthusiasm may be infectious, and you can stop waiting for the right opportunity to come and make it come yourself. SAGITTARIUS The second half of August is when you turn things up with your career, and you put in the time and effort that it takes to succeed. The new moon on the 25th in your career, life path, and goals sector lights a fire under you, and motivates you to work harder, strive for more, and let your ambition rule. On the 18th, you can be charming and are able to talk anyone into anything, so it’s great for negotiating. You can convince them that what you want is right for everyone, and you’re not secretly planning to railroad them. CAPRICORN The full moon on the 10th occurs in your money sector, so you’re concerned with your finances in August. You want to make sure you have enough to take care of things, and if you’re feeling a little financially insecure, you’ll work extra hard and extra smart to fix that. You’re also focused on other people’s money in August - taxes, debts, loans, inheritances, and joint finances. It can be a good month, especially midmonth, to get that stuff in order, or to venture into a business partnership that will be mutually beneficial. AQUARIUS During the first half of August, Venus is in your work sector, so you enjoy your work and try to make the most of it. Some of you may be lazy with your work though, and if that’s the case, you need to try and find more stimulating work that will hold your attention and motivate you. The 8th is a good day to stand out from the crowd and get recognized by the right people. Later in August, you may need to work with someone else to make things happen, and it’s uncomfortable at first, but you see the merits of it eventually. PISCES Mercury and the Sun are in your work sector during the first half of August, and you shine at work and try to get along well with coworkers. You focus on your work, and can be organized, disciplined, and detail-oriented. On the 7th, you can have greater energy, drive, stamina, and enthusiasm, and you might feel like this would be a good time to take charge with a work project on your own.
