The better you understand how these things work, the better you'll fare so I'll try to break it … [Read more...]

In fact, you can think of the grand cross as being like a weather forecast for a blistering heat wave occurring during a week-long cruise. It may be hot all week, but there many activities … [Read more...]
Elsa P: June 16, 2011 , Cardinal Grand Cross – Heads Up!

Elsa P. : May 12, 2011 – Things Revealed May Not Be Resolved
Thursday's grand trine in the earth signs stabilizes people and provides the calm before Friday's storm. Just watch people go from feeling okay to feeling irked as the Moon in Virgo meets challenge from planets in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn. Once through that, the Moon enters Libra and people who consider themselves "mannered" fight against people they feel lack manners (Aries) in ways that are unmannerly so you can see we're in for a row.

The air and fire signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius) dominate as we head into the weekend making this is a good time to flirt or assert yourself socially in other ways.

Loss is … [Read more...]
Elsa P. – Confusion and indecision reign – Venus exalted in Pisces
Confusion and indecision reign as we head into the weekend.

The cardinal grand cross that dominates the sky over the weekend is quite harsh. Decisions are being made and consequences come home to roost, … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – March 24, 2011 – Mercury Retrograde And Various Other (Important) Sundries
I don't stress over periods when Mercury turns retrograde but I certainly note them and the conditions in this circumstance are particularly challenging. In consideration of this I would recommend getting as much of your busy work done as possible before the planet reverses course on Wednesday the 30th.

It's a great day to push yourself to achieve because you'll have no problem gathering and … [Read more...]

Information is controlled but you can see it's likely to be revealed in the near term. To relate this to your personal life, you may be the one … [Read more...]
