The stellium in Aries (Mars) is in full effect now, squared by Pluto in Capricorn (Saturn), and aspected by Saturn in Scorpio (Mars). Anyway you turn it, we're looking at a Mars / Saturn combination, which known to be CRUEL. This scares people, but in reality, energy is neutral until directed. I explained this here: "Gravel in your guts, and spit in your eye..." To elaborate, an Olympic athlete's training is rigorous and punishing. They endure it voluntarily and it's only sports where … [Read more...]
Mercury Direct Tomorrow – Goodbye Yellow Brick Road!
March 16, 2013 by
Gemini and Virgo rejoice as their ruling planet, Mercury turns direct on Sunday. With the stellium in Pisces, Virgo has been swirling and knocked around for weeks. The sooner their ruler can get the hell out of Pisces the better! Gemini is also looking good tomorrow. The Moon is conjunct Jupiter in their sign, so seize the day! For everyone else, this is your green light to shop and sign things, but I doubt many rush right out to do so. Clarity (Mercury) may not be here is exactly … [Read more...]

Mars -> Aries - March 12th Sun -> Aries - March 20th Venus -> Aries - March 21th Separate but related, Mercury turns direct on Sunday, March 17th. You can see what's happening here.

Elsa, ‘dealing with shadows and the dark side of life’
March 11, 2013 by
I spend a lot of time dealing with shadows and the dark side of life. It's been this way all my life. I deal with shadows in my personal life and I deal with shadows in the lives of my clients. I like this work. I often tell people that I work in a "dirty grave". That's a riff off a lyric by the late, Doug Bennett: "I get so tired of working knee-deep in this dirty grave." Doug was a double Scorpio, may his soul rest in peace. I don't get tired though. I think a … [Read more...]

March 7, 2013 by
Feel The Love...Then Take Off Like A Rocket! This is our last fishy, swishy week.

Elsa, The Life Of Lila – Drama Queen Extraordinaire
March 4, 2013 by
My dog, Lila, has a dramatic Leo Moon. She's an eternal child with golden hair. She's best friends with the big, black, muscular, Boxer girl dog who lives next door. These dogs met as puppies, spying each other through the fence. Love at first sight! They repeatedly tore the fence down so they could play together. The parents on both sides of the fence finally gave up trying to repair it. We now have a "dog hole" in the fence so the girls can come and go. Lila is obsessed with her giant … [Read more...]
Elsa P., Shift Under The Full Moon In Virgo!
February 25, 2013 by
Nobody is perfect! Flawed humans are are attracted to other flawed humans. Often enough it's the quirk or imperfection that causes you to love someone and they you. Keep this in the mind today as the full moon aspects Jupiter and Chiron and you're made aware of some un-healable wound, be it yours or theirs. Nobody likes a robot. They have no charm! With the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Chiron, Jupiter and Neptune all in the mutable signs, don't be surprised to see people to shift … [Read more...]

February 21, 2013 by
This is a freaky week ... There are three main things to try to understand: Stellium in Pisces Full Moon in Virgo Mercury Retrograde The stellium in Pisces cannot be denied. 'The Sun, Mercury, Mars, Chiron and Neptune are all in Pisces. Venus will join them in the sign on Monday.

Mars In Pisces: Avoiding Self-Sabotage & Fighting With The Flow
February 19, 2013 by
Mars is stirring your desire to right wrongs, solve problems and set certain processes in motion. The idea you’re toying with seems almost too bold and audacious, but you intuitively know that a radical step must be taken. If you act on it decisively, it will transform your world into an unimaginably exciting and inspiring place. Saturn, the ruler of material and practical matters, is at peak power, so you may be feeling boxed in and trapped by circumstances beyond your control. Resist the … [Read more...]
Elsa P – Almsgiving, Stellium in Pisces and Saturn Retrograde
February 14, 2013 by
This week is dominated by Jupiter in Gemini squaring a large stellium in Pisces. Keywords for this energy include grace, transcendence, forgiveness, bliss and benevolence. I think it's cool this period coincides with the Lenten season, where people are encouraged to give alms. It's a wonderful time to share your gifts with others.You can't go wrong by giving generously (Jupiter) over the next several weeks. Outside of that, all planets remain direct this week until Sunday when Saturn in … [Read more...]
Elsa P: January 31, 2013 – All Planets Direct! FOG!
January 31, 2013 by
This is a strange week! All planets are direct now and will stay the way through February 17th. You can take this to mean you're going to move forward now. Some will crawl ahead reluctantly. Others will hurtle ahead, happily or maybe stupidly as the case may be. One way or other, it's all systems GO this week...GO into the fog that is. I think this is quite funny in a cosmic joke way. We won't be moving backwards with all the planets in direction motion, but as the week passes, … [Read more...]
Elsa P: Full Moon in Leo, Change In The Storyline (Around The World)
January 24, 2013 by
The Moon takes a bumpy ride through Cancer for the rest of the work week. Emotions will be disturbed as she's challenged by Uranus in Aries and Pluto and Venus in Capricorn. The Moon does catch support from Saturn in Scorpio, but don't be surprised if fears around safety and security come up from the depths at this time. The weekend will be dominated by the full moon in Leo. Leo is a creative sign that loves drama, but the Moon will be held in check by Saturn in Scorpio and stared at by … [Read more...]
Elsa P: January 17, 2013 – Becoming Cheerful
January 17, 2013 by
The Stellium in Capricorn that has dominated the last couple of weeks will break up as we head into the weekend. You can expect things and people to 'lighten up'. :) Note that while Mercury and the Sun will leave Capricorn for Aquarius by Saturday, both signs are Saturn ruled. This means Saturn in Scorpio themes will continue to be emphasized. In short, you can be called out publicly for what you do privately and this goes for good or ill. You may also be called out by your … [Read more...]

January 10, 2013 by
We kick off the week with the Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury and Pluto in Capricorn, heading towards an important new moon on Friday. You'll most definitely want to set an intention at this time. Check the Transit Watch for concise guidance. The Moon moves into Aquarius for the weekend while Venus squares Uranus. This will lighten things up some. You should be able to detach and take some space. However, there will continue to be a large stellium in Capricorn all week, so Take Action to meet … [Read more...]
