Mars joins the Moon in Scorpio on Thursday. Both bodies are supported by planets in Cancer and Pisces and I think the shift will bring relief to many. 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...]

Elsa P: August 16, 2012 – Drama, Surprise, Challenge And Soothing
August 16, 2012 by
Few will be bored on Thursday as Venus squares Uranus and opposes Pluto. Things are poppin'! Further, with the Sun, Moon and Mercury in Leo, there will be no shortage of drama as we head into the New Moon on Friday. There are any number of ways to fare well here. You can detach (Uranus) and be entertained (Leo) by the machinations (Pluto) of others (Venus). If you have Leo in your chart, you may prefer to be the show rather than see the show. What's nice is that most combinations will … [Read more...]
Elsa P: Warning to Young Women and Mothers With Children
August 9, 2012 by
August 9, 2012 - Focus on Love And Money This will be a complicated week on the love and money front. Venus in Cancer forms a cardinal T-square with Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn, while Mars conjuncts Saturn in Venus-ruled Libra. None of this can be described as comfortable or kind, but that does not mean the week will not be productive. You can expect things to move ahead this week on almost every front. In some cases, it will be due to pressure (Saturn) and the dedicated … [Read more...]
Elsa P: July 26, 2012 – Cosmic Block Party – Full Moon in Aquarius
July 26, 2012 by
Most will cut a break this week. The Sun, Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus are all in air and fire signs. Any way you turn it, that's a lot of agreement. Last week we had strife in the background. This week looks more like a block party. The Moon is in Scorpio for the rest of the work week. It's not well aspected so there will be an undertow, but it's not going to dominate. If you want to chew your arm off, go ahead. The rest of us will draw energy from the Moon and use it to … [Read more...]
Elsa P: July 5, 2012 – Keeping Things Interesting
July 5, 2012 by
With Venus and Jupiter conjunct in Gemini this week, things that are clever or interesting are in vogue. With this in mind, I'll point out the quirk and curiosity in the week in the hope it gives you a beneficial perspective. The Moon in Aquarius forms a grand trine with Venus and Jupiter in Gemini and Mars in Libra on Thursday. This creates a great social environment that seems wasted during the work week, but is it? If you enjoy your co-workers, everyone's job is made easier. Friday, … [Read more...]
Elsa P: June 21, 2012 – Crack Some Eggs To Make An Omelette!
June 21, 2012 by
This is an energetic, exciting, week that will prove to be pivotal for many. The exciting energy comes from the tight aspect between Uranus and Pluto. We'll pivot as Venus and Saturn turn direct and I'll elaborate. Uranus and Pluto in hard aspect will bring intense (Pluto) upheaval (Uranus), which is not always negative. Here's an example of what I mean: Sudden, unexpected (Uranus) endings (Pluto). This could be as drastic as a death, but it may also bring the end to your personal … [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 31, 2012 – Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius – Variety Show!
May 31, 2012 by
Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius - Variety Show! Thursday, Mars in Virgo squares Mercury in Gemini, and you may want to argue and challenge the ideas of others. With the Moon conjunct Saturn in Libra, you'll probably feel pressured to be polite about it, and to be fair. I think this bodes well for all social interaction. Friday, the Moon slips into Scorpio, in easy aspect to Neptune in Pisces. This is a psychic combination but to take advantage of it you'll have to avoid considerable … [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: May 10, 2012 – Lots Of Luck And Ease, Amid The Tension
May 10, 2012 by
Things move slowly on Thursday with the Sun, Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Pluto in earth signs. If you like the pace, great. If you don't, you won't have to put up with it for long. Friday, the Moon hits Aquarius, in aspect to Uranus in Aries and things are sure to pick up. Saturday is a banner day. The Sun conjuncts Jupiter in Taurus; we have a grand trine in earth and a second grand trine in air. With the emphasis on Taurus, it's important to note that ruler Venus is involved in one of … [Read more...]
Elsa P: May 3, 2012 – Full Moon In Scorpio, Misguided Pontificating, A Great Boon
May 3, 2012 by
The Moon is in Libra for the rest of work week. It's a choppy ride as people grapple to balance their desire for independence against their need to relate to others. Things shift Friday evening when the Moon enters Scorpio, where it becomes full around midnight on Saturday in the US. I love the potential here, as the full moon takes place in concert with a strong opposition between Mercury and Saturn and a grand trine in earth. I've elaborated on this here: Avoiding Mayhem - Maximizing … [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: April 19, 2012 – Self Esteem And Minds On Fire
April 19, 2012 by
The Sun leaves Aries for Taurus on Thursday, forming a grand trine in Earth with Mars in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn. Jupiter is also in Taurus and if you don't like the Earth signs, you best hide under the bed through the weekend, because there is more to come. Friday is prelude to the New Moon in Taurus which takes place just after midnight on Saturday morning. If you're out Friday night, I'd be scouting for opportunity. Some think of Taurus as a boring sign. If you're bored by love, … [Read more...]
Elsa P: April 12, 2012 – Slow Start To A Fast Week
April 12, 2012 by
The Moon in Capricorn conjuncts Pluto and squares Uranus on Thursday, awakening deep emotion in the collective. Mars will turn direct on Friday which also creates a stir. It's an interesting juxtaposition, feeling our roots as we prepare to spring forward. When Mars does turn direct on Friday, it's impeded by Venus and Neptune. Have you ever gotten in your car and not known exactly where you were going? This is like that. We also have Saturn opposing the Sun in Mars-ruled Aries over the … [Read more...]
