Mercury Stars - Speak Up, Without Being Reckless People get along as we head into the weekend even if there are underlying problems. Sunday is the only super tense day all week so it's a nice run here. There is a lot of focus on Mercury all week so we're talking ideas, communications, short trips, neighbors, siblings, organization, health and your daily routine. The flavor is upbeat and this would be a great time to start a diet or exercise program. Pluto is involved so … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – New Moon In Pisces, Maintaining Equilibrium And Giving To Get
March 3, 2011 by
We're headed into the new moon in Pisces on Friday where the key concept is serve or suffer. Some people don't know what that means but it's very simple. If you're feeling bad and can do something kind for someone else, invariably it will brighten your day. Give to get. Help others to help yourself. The new moon is conjunct Mars, and Virgo is likely to be stressed and agitated along with the other mutable signs, Gemini and Sagittarius. Virgo struggles with the intangible, foggy, ethereal … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Planetary Positions to Guide: Fighting By Undermining
February 24, 2011 by
Mars slips into Pisces today but you may not notice as the planet is already conjunct Neptune, and tactics have been Piscean over the last two weeks anyway. As an example, the Wisconsin Democrats attacked (Mars) by disappearing (Neptune), effectively avoiding a showdown over Governor Scott Walker's union-busting bill. With Mars in Pisces, people may act compassionately but they also might slip you a Mickey. This is a date-rape aspect, where it is possible to be attacked unbeknownst to you so … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – This is not a week that will bore.
February 17, 2011 by
This is not a week that will bore. We've got a dramatic full moon in Leo early Friday morning. People are forging deep, long-lasting bonds with partners, romantic or otherwise, while others are coming up with the courage to cut negative, non-supportive people from their lives. Many are making innovations; fighting for a new start in their lives Thursday, the energy of the full moon in Leo dominates. Mars is involved so we're likely to see people make a show of their anger. This is not the … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Planetary Positions to Guide…
February 10, 2011 by
Valentine's Day: Social, Not Superficial - Pain and Loss There is quite a bit of stress heading into the weekend as some push for change while others dig their heels in and resist. With the Moon in Taurus, rushing people will be counterproductive. Respecting a person's individuality and the time it takes them to do something, think something, get from here to there, makes more sense. People also experience this conflict internally. They're stubborn and trying to move ahead. Greed may be … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Planetary Positions to Guide…
February 3, 2011 by
This is an extraordinary week. When life is this complex, I think it's helpful to look at the big picture rather than analyze every detail. It's not that details don't matter because they certainly do. If you wonder about this, just consider the Space Shuttle Challenger that exploded, killing seven people due an O-ring seal. So yes, minutiae matters. But we have a notable situation this week in that we have six planets in the Saturn-ruled signs of Capricorn and Aquarius. This reminds me … [Read more...]
Elsa P. – The Moon is in Leo: 'Better Safe Than Sorry'
January 20, 2011 by
The Moon is in Leo as we head into a weekend that favors drama and creativity. I wish I could stop right there but it's far more complex. We've got people reversing course, preaching for the other side. We've got people plagued with dark thoughts mixed with people in denial. We've also got people out there, angry and under intense pressure which is never a good combo. I think it's possible to work well with all of this, especially if you have a creative outlet and a way to express your rage … [Read more...]

Elsa P. – January 13, 2011 – Marry The Intellect With Your Primal Instinct
January 13, 2011 by
Things are calm and grounded as we head into the weekend and I hope people take full advantage. Rest is just as important as anything else you can do and there'll be plenty of challenges as we move through the week, so eat and lie around until the set change occurs on Saturday. Last week I wrote about all the blathering going on and this week we've got the exact opposite. People are making plans alright, but they're likely to hold their cards close to their chest. It's as if … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Mercury in Sagittarius: January 6, 2011 – Rolling The Dice With Your Mouth
January 6, 2011 by
Hi all, it's nice to be back after the holidays. I don't want to use the word, "dominate" but we have a strong theme running all week which bears keeping in mind. It's the big mouth factor; the broadcasting we're going to see, the "truth" telling that is guaranteed to surprise. I am talking about Mercury in Sagittarius which is code for, "run on sentence". People are going to talk about their beliefs and with Mercury in hard aspect to Jupiter and Uranus, in some cases they'll go … [Read more...]
Elsa P. – December 16, 2010: Simultaneously Social and Secretive
December 16, 2010 by
I like the lay of the land this week. We've got something for everyone, just like Christmas. Heading into the weekend most will be engaged with someone or something, somewhere. This is not a common scenario. For example, it's entirely impossible to drop off the screen due depression. Other people go missing due their addictions or denial. They're just not present. Some are simply detached but I don't know of anyone who is managing this at this point or even why they'd want to. … [Read more...]
Elsa P. – Mercury goes retrograde Friday: ‘Broad Impact And Unintended Consequences’
December 9, 2010 by
Elsa P. - Mercury goes retrograde Friday Mercury goes retrograde on Friday so hopefully you'll have most your holiday shopping in the bag by then. This is especially recommended for the buying of Mercury-ruled things like phones, gadgets and anything that has to be mailed or delivered. This concludes the lightweight portion of this week's letter. The week is dominated the Mercury, Mars, Pluto conjunction in Capricorn. Capricorn is associated with government and structure, Mars with … [Read more...]
Elsa P. – A Gambler, A Black Widow And…It’s a complicated out there.
December 2, 2010 by
It's a complicated out there. Heading into the weekend, people are thinking seriously now with Mercury in Capricorn but we've still got over-the-top hi-jinks, reckless behavior, dumb luck and leaps off faith that will pay off in many cases. These things clash to an extent; or balance each other if you want to take the optimistic view. "Get it while you can" becomes, get away with it while you can which is tempting to many if not most. To add intrigue, the Moon is in Scorpio until Saturday … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Moon in Virgo sextiles Venus and trines Pluto
November 28, 2010 by
People are likely to feel “ok” as the Moon in Virgo sextiles Venus and trines Pluto. That said, with Mars conjunct Mercury in hard aspect to Jupiter and Uranus, there is no telling what people are going to say. It may be mean, shocking or ahead of it’s time but whatever your impulse, we do have planets in Libra in the sky so it’s prudent to mind your manners and at least try to maintain some balance. … [Read more...]
