Elsa P: August 23, 2012 – Mars in Scorpio, Sun Opposite Neptune & a Grand Trine in Air

This is because Mars was stuck in Virgo for eight months before transiting Libra, the sign of its detriment. Mars is at home in Scorpio, so high functioning. We all want to move ahead and we should have an easier time doing so with Mars in Scorpio which can be effective rather than having to weigh everything incessantly (Libra) which makes it … [Read more...]

August 19, 2012 by
The Real Cause of Narcissism Why has narcissism permeated our world? The answer: Because we have not evolved (as a world society) to understand the necessity to create an authentic emotional self.
