OCTOBER 18, 2012: Heading into the weekend, there is a lot emphasis on Mercury and Jupiter. Expect to see people running around, doing a lot of communicating and/or pontificating. This energy can't be judged. This is how information is spread but with Mars in Sagittarius opposing Jupiter in Gemini, and these bodies both squaring Venus in Virgo, 'discernment is key'. People are still talking on Saturday, but many will feel an undertow as the Moon in Capricorn conjuncts Pluto and … [Read more...]
Elsa P: September 6, 2012: Think, Act, Imagine, Get Along
September 6, 2012 by
Regardless of background noise, most have something going well in their life at this point. If not, this is a good week to whip something into shape as things are more favorable than we've seen in a while. Specifically, Mercury is in its own sign, Virgo, Mars is at home in Scorpio, Neptune is in the sign it rules, Pisces, and Saturn is in exaltation in Libra. You should be able to think (Mercury), act (Mars), imagine (Neptune) and get along with others (Saturn in Libra). That's the … [Read more...]
Elsa P: August 30, 2012 – Full Moon In Pisces, Deep Thinking
August 30, 2012 by
We have a full moon in Pisces early Friday morning in the US. Later Friday evening, Mercury enters Virgo, setting up two camps. On one side we have the Moon, Neptune and Chiron in Pisces. On the other side we'll have the Sun and Mercury in Virgo. I expect this to be stressful for many. Virgo knows, or thinks it knows. Pisces confuses. People feel victimized with the Moon in Pisces. Virgo (Mercury) thinks it's pristine which sets up a hall of mirrors around who is creating problems that … [Read more...]
Elsa P: June 7, 2012 – Shocking News and Mental Pressure
June 7, 2012 by
Mercury leaves Gemini for Cancer on Thursday. Expect a choppy transition as Mars in Mercury-ruled Virgo will square the Sun and Venus in Mercury-ruled Gemini, providing enough angst that some will act out. If you can hold yourself together, I would, as Friday brings relief in the form of a grand trine in air. Saturday brings us a cardinal T-square involving Mercury, Uranus and Pluto that will dominate the next four days. Mercury-ruled Geminis and Virgos will be shocked and pressured but … [Read more...]
Elsa P: May 24, 2012 – Gaslighting, Angst and Accident
May 24, 2012 by
Mercury hits Gemini today and mental function is emphasized all week long. If you love puzzles, you may enjoy this but many will be stressed and distracted. Mercury rules short trips in the car or on foot, so keep an eye out for people who might space out and run a red light. Early in the (newsletter) week the Sun and Mercury in Gemini square Neptune so we're looking at mind fog or mental confusion. Mars is in Mercury's sign, Virgo, so some of this might be inflicted deliberately via some … [Read more...]
Elsa P: May 17, 2012 – Imagination Aids Problem Solving
May 17, 2012 by
The solar eclipse in Mercury-ruled Gemini on Sunday marks the peak of this week where mental functions will be emphasized.Variety is a key concept for Gemini and we'll see plenty of that. Thursday, the Moon in Aries opposes Saturn in Libra putting focus on the me-we axis. So many want to be "on their own" (Aries) but supported by others (Saturn in Libra). People want to be independent, but not alone and balancing this is the job of the day. Friday, the Moon joins the Sun, Mercury and … [Read more...]
Elsa P: April 26, 2012 – Who Grounds You?
April 26, 2012 by
The Sun, Mars and Pluto form a grand trine in earth all week, lending everyone a degree of stability. If you can identify the people and things you can rely on, this will help steady you as you navigate the more challenging areas of your life over the next seven days. The Moon transits Cancer as we head into the weekend, taking hits from Mercury, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto. It's a choppy ride, and you're likely to encounter emotional upheaval at some point, either yours or theirs. This is … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Planetary Positions to Guide: The Plot Thickens
March 1, 2012 by
Thursday is a mixed bag. We've got a mutable t-square along with a grand trine in earth which suggests people will be comfortable even though communications will be flying left and right. Some interactions will be heated with Mars in Virgo but you should be able to keep a foot on the ground, thanks to the grand trine. This ought to be an interesting day. Friday, the general theme continues but the plot thickens. We'll have two grand trines on offer, but the Moon gets wrapped … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Planetary Positions to Guide…Relationships and interactions
January 26, 2012 by
Venus in Pisces opposes Mars in Virgo all week long which puts people at odds. Relationships and interactions of all kinds (Venus) are hotted up (Mars). Expect to see people fight and challenge each other, left and right. Don't expect to be clear on who the victim (Pisces) is because some people attack or get what they want (Mars) by feigning injury. Anyway you turn it, this is going to be irritating, particularly for people who have planets between 15-23 degrees in the mutable (Gemini, … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Full Moon & Frenetic Activity, Cardinal T-Square and Mercury Turns Direct
December 8, 2011 by
Thursday is the calm before the storm on Friday when the Moon in Gemini fills in to complete a loose mutable grand cross. Mars in Virgo is involved here with Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius, the sign of it's detriment, so expect traffic jams and communication clashes of all kinds. Gemini and Virgo will be particularly agitated but neither sign likes to be bored and both know how to juggle, so no big deal so long as you can keep perspective. Consider Friday to be a prelude to Saturday which … [Read more...]
Elsa P. – ‘If you like Scorpio energy … Paranoia, Sex and Power’
October 27, 2011 by
If you like Scorpio energy, you'll be in luck this week. Regardless of what happens on the surface there will be intense exchanges of energy beneath the surface and/or behind closed doors. If you're prone to paranoia, its going to be really easy to get wrapped around the axle over these next days. If you are feeling suspicious and you know someone with a cool head, or a calming perspective, it would probably be worthwhile to run your thoughts by them as this is a situation that could easily … [Read more...]
