Elsa P: June 16, 2011 , Cardinal Grand Cross – Heads Up!
June 16, 2011 by
Upset stomachs and agitated minds will be the norm this week as Mercury is hit hard by Saturn, Uranus and Pluto. Consider this to be the baseline or the tip of the iceberg as this week's grand cross really presents an acute situation. Mercury rules Gemini, Virgo, information, communications, siblings, neighbors and your health may be involved. Expect gross, deeply (Pluto) shocking (Uranus) communications or information (Mercury) to be exposed this week. The Weiner scandal fits the mold but this … [Read more...]

The International Day Against Homophobia – May 17, 2011
May 14, 2011 by
International Day Against Homophobia May 17 marks the 8th International Day Against Homophobia . As a gay man, this day allows me to reflect on the effect of homophobia and the way it intersects with HIV/AIDS. I want to remember that the impact of homophobia can lead to HIV risk-taking behaviors. Homophobia may keep people from getting information about HIV, and it may keep them from getting tested, or seeking the treatment and support services they need. I want to remember David … [Read more...]

May 12, 2011 by
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. We do have planets in the peaceful sign of Taurus … [Read more...]

March 24, 2011 by
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. With the Moon in Sagittarius today (Thursday) trining a stellium in Aries, the fire signs dominate. It's a great day to push yourself to achieve because you'll have no problem gathering and … [Read more...]
