On January 26, 2013 the moon reaches its maximum brightness. Therefore it is called full moon. Full moon is a lunar phase that occurs when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. More precisely, a full moon occurs when the geocentric apparent longitudes of the Sun and Moon differ by 180 degrees; the Moon is then in opposition with the Sun. As seen from Earth, the hemisphere of the Moon that is facing the earth is almost fully illuminated by the Sun and appears round. Only … [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...]
Elsa P, December 13, 2012 – Jump Start, Big Mouths, People Higher Than You!
December 13, 2012 by
Thursday morning starts out with a bang! Expect to be infused by the energy of the new moon in Sagittarius and Uranus turning direct. These combined energies will jump start a lot of people and you may as well be one of them. It's an excellent time to start something new. Friday is interesting. The Moon in Capricorn conjuncts Pluto. While there is nothing comfortable about that, it catches support from Saturn in Scorpio and enjoys a kiss from Jupiter as well. This suggests anyone who … [Read more...]

October 11, 2012 by
We have a mild week on tap, with the potential for deep healing thanks to a combination of influences. People will be surprisingly generous as recent tensions fade. With an emphasis on Gemini, Virgo and Scorpio this week, the lull in the action offers a powerful opportunity to align your mind with your gut. Think deeply. Try to establish a connection between your intellect and your subconscious so that you may better understand that which is primal inside of you. There's your … [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...]
FULL MOON and her phases, a wondrous natural sight
July 2, 2012 by
The July 2012 full moon falls on Tuesday, July 3, at 18:52 Universal Time. Although the full moon comes at the same instant for everyone worldwide, the clock – as always – reads differently according to time zone. In the United States, the full moon occurs on July 3 at 2:52 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, 1:52 p.m. Central Daylight Time, 12:52 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time and 11:52 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time. For us across the United States, the moon turns astronomically full – or stands most … [Read more...]
Elsa P. – ‘Moon is full in Capricorn’
June 28, 2012 by
When the sky is overly harsh people go into survival mode. When there's a preponderance of ease, they tend to lie around. It's a balance between the two that creates conditions most conducive to productivity and that's what we have this week. There are a number of elements in play here. First, we've got a cardinal T-square involving the Sun, Uranus and Pluto in effect all week. This is very dynamic energy and anyone who can control (Capricorn) their impulses (Aries) enough to channel then … [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...]

SOLAR ECLIPSE - MAY 20, 2012 On May 20-21, 2012 an annular eclipse of the Sun will be visible from within a narrow corridor along Earth's northern Hemisphere -- beginning in eastern Asia, crossing the North Pacific Ocean, and ending in the western United States.

During an annular eclipse the moon does not block the entirety of the sun, but leaves a … [Read more...]

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.

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...]
SHIRLEE HALL – The Age of the Sun
April 8, 2012 by
THE AGE OF THE SUN Disorder- Cycles-Time Travel The Age of the Sun is an cycle that represents who we really are. It appears that present time is backward and separated but in truth it is not. Many souls deliberately choose to live in disorder to bring forth a greater order...the greater order being disorder. This sounds strange at first reading but it is truth. All came forth out of disorder and gradually moves in a backward direction, another reality, which is referred to as … [Read more...]
ELSA – Full Moon In Libra, Mutable T- Square, Pluto Retrograde and Uranus Square Pluto!
April 5, 2012 by
This is an extremely dynamic week. I don't think I can adequately cover it in this short form but I'll try to hit the high points and direct you to posts where I have elaborated around the various energies at play. We have a mutable T-square involving Venus, Mars, Chiron and Neptune in effect all week. We'll see a lot of bickering with this but the overall phrase that comes to mind is, "You always hurt the one you love". I have offered very specific tips around how to deal … [Read more...]
