After more than three weeks of mis-communication and misunderstandings, Mercury will finally resume its direct motion at 8:50 a.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, July 1, 2014. Hooray! Hopefully you survived this transit and saw the positive side of things. Many have been saying, whew, what a rough ride this one has been! There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it is not an oncoming train, it truly is the light of day. You see it has not been solely the effect of Mercury retrograde that … [Read more...]
What is Mercury Retrograde?
Mercury Retrograde This happens three to four times per year, when the planet Mercury slows down, and appears to stop (station) and move backward (retrograde). It's an optical illusion, since there is forward movement, like speeding by a slow-moving train -- as it recedes, it appears to go backward. While delays and misunderstandings do seem to happen, I've noticed a magical trend -- that people and ideas return, for integration, resolution and more. What are the Mercury Retrograde … [Read more...]
Full Moon in Scorpio, MAY 14/14
'The breakthrough has happened.' "And I do mean for everyone. That doesn't mean we all got wonderful presents, or lumps of coal. " Remember, do NOT get too focused upon what happened concretely to you, i.e., job, money house, car, etc. Keep a wider perspective on YOU. How YOU have cracked open the shell that you were once contained within--perhaps for a long time." The breakthrough we are talking about is the new birth we're all experiencing. The Cardinal Grand Cross in late April … [Read more...]

THE YEAR OF THE WOOD HORSE 2014
OFF TO THE RACES The new Moon on January 30 at 11:20 pm PST (but listed as January 31 in many calendars) begins the year of the Wood Horse. Chinese New Year is a spring festival that begins on the second new Moon after Winter Solstice, with the Sun and Moon in Aquarius. This new Moon also starts the month of the Fire Tiger making energy very strong and lively as Horse year begins, a clear departure from the slower energy of the previous Water Snake year 2013. The Wood Horse year is a time … [Read more...]
MERCURY RETROGRADE PERIODS 2014
February 6 -March 1 June 7-July 1 October 4-October 25 This happens three or so times a year every year so we should know the best way to enjoy it or at least avoid some of the pitfalls. During this time Mercury, appears to be going backward and indeed it moves through an Astrological sign backward. Mercury rules the mind, mental processes and all forms of communication. I think for astrology students Mercury is not usually considered the most compelling planetary energy to … [Read more...]
Blue Moon – August 20, 2013
When the moon rises Tuesday night (Aug. 20), it brings us the August full moon and in addition, it will also technically be a "Blue Moon." "But wait a minute," you may ask. "Isn't a Blue Moon defined as the second full moon that occurs during a calendar month? Tuesday’s full moon will be the only full moon of August 2013. So how can we call it a 'Blue' moon?" [Blue Moon Secrets Explained (Infographic)] Yet it still is a Blue Moon, but only if we follow a now somewhat obscure rule of … [Read more...]
Big Fat Kiss For Gemini (And Maybe You As Well)
You know those periods where things just seem to go your way? It's like you have an angel on your shoulder or some kind of protection. You hit a lucky streak and you know it. Venus, Mercury and Jupiter will be conjunct in the late degrees of Gemini for the rest of the month. When the two benefic planets (Venus and Jupiter) conjoin, there are kisses out there, just waiting to land on the cheeks of some of us. People with planets in the late degrees of Gemini will have good … [Read more...]
Lunar Eclipse In Sagittarius: Tall Tales And Happy Endings
People associate eclipses with calamity for some reason. This makes them nervous. In reality, each eclipse has a unique flavor. It makes sense to consider what you're dealing with before you go diving under the bed until the eclipse has passed. Have you see the movie, Big Fish? It's about a man who tells tall tales. What's distinct about this man and his stories is that all his stories end well. My friend and colleague, satori, likes to say, "If a story hasn't ended well, it's … [Read more...]
Master Class, Finding Love With Astrology, Elsa P.
How To Shed A Mindset That Prevents You From Finding Love I have a friend whose son is in his early twenties. He's been hexed on the love front. Every woman he's ever been involved with has treated him in a crummy way. Though he is smart and looks like a model, he treats women so well that they figure something is wrong with him. He's spent his life proving the axiom that "nice guys finish last." You'd expect this man to develop a bad mindset about relationships. You'd expect him … [Read more...]
Heads Up For The Emotionally Rocky Weekend
The Moon leaves Leo for Virgo between now and Sunday, taking hits from a variety of planets throughout the weekend. You can expect some lumps in your sugar with this but it's nothing to panic over. To fare well, I'd align the energy of the Moon. That means drama (Leo) through Friday night. Saturday and Sunday think "multi-task". Get to work on details, communications and chores while the Moon transits Virgo. This alone will have you feeling (Moon) in tune on a personal level to … [Read more...]
“Live your sun, satisfy your moon,” Moods, Feelings, Romance
Continuing on the topic of "Live your sun, satisfy your moon," I thought I'd write about ways people fail to satisfy their moon. The Moon represents your emotional needs. Some reject their moon by denying they have emotion or needs! This is freakishly common. People not only deny their feelings. Some women go as far as to deny their own sex (female = moon). These women say they are more like a man than a woman. This is quite a feat considering the estrogen in their bodies. Here's an odd … [Read more...]
