The Moon in Taurus conjuncts Mars and Mercury as it moves into the eclipse that takes place this afternoon. You may feel (Moon) like verbally (Mercury) challenging (Mars) someone, aka fighting! If it's appropriate, then fine. If not, Taurus is known to be slow to anger so most will find the patience to resist. Saturn in Scorpio suggests if you are going to off, you should do so, carefully. The actual eclipse takes place in the afternoon (in the US). By that time, Venus will have left … [Read more...]
Women! Live Your Sun: It’s Your Life Force
May 2, 2013 by
Many years ago, I coined a phrase: "Live your sun, satisfy your moon." If you can manage these two things, you'll be well on your way towards enjoying a fulfilling life Your sun represents your vital life energy. It seems it would be automatically expressed, but this is not always the case. I want to cover this today. Your sun has to do with your vocation in life. It shows how your vital life energy is best expressed. People think they live their sun, but that's not … [Read more...]
Saturn transiting Scorpio, meeting our shadow-sides, hang on!
April 29, 2013 by
With Saturn transiting Scorpio, many of us are meeting our shadow-sides. We see that we are not quite a nice or innocent as we believed. Recently I had a client contact me after stumbling onto a part of her personality that she found repulsive. She was glad to have someone to confide in. I told her that this happens to everyone, eventually. It's happened to me. I struggled when I was confronted with my shadow side. Here's what I wrote about that in my book, Heaven, I Mean Circle … [Read more...]
“Gravel in your guts, and spit in your eye…”, Elsa P.
March 28, 2013 by
The stellium in Aries (Mars) is in full effect now, squared by Pluto in Capricorn (Saturn), and aspected by Saturn in Scorpio (Mars). Anyway you turn it, we're looking at a Mars / Saturn combination, which known to be CRUEL. This scares people, but in reality, energy is neutral until directed. I explained this here: "Gravel in your guts, and spit in your eye..." To elaborate, an Olympic athlete's training is rigorous and punishing. They endure it voluntarily and it's only sports where … [Read more...]
Mercury Direct Tomorrow – Goodbye Yellow Brick Road!
March 16, 2013 by
Gemini and Virgo rejoice as their ruling planet, Mercury turns direct on Sunday. With the stellium in Pisces, Virgo has been swirling and knocked around for weeks. The sooner their ruler can get the hell out of Pisces the better! Gemini is also looking good tomorrow. The Moon is conjunct Jupiter in their sign, so seize the day! For everyone else, this is your green light to shop and sign things, but I doubt many rush right out to do so. Clarity (Mercury) may not be here is exactly … [Read more...]

Elsa, ‘dealing with shadows and the dark side of life’
March 11, 2013 by
I spend a lot of time dealing with shadows and the dark side of life. It's been this way all my life. I deal with shadows in my personal life and I deal with shadows in the lives of my clients. I like this work. I often tell people that I work in a "dirty grave". That's a riff off a lyric by the late, Doug Bennett: "I get so tired of working knee-deep in this dirty grave." Doug was a double Scorpio, may his soul rest in peace. I don't get tired though. I think a … [Read more...]

It peaks under the new moon on Monday at which point we'll have the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Chiron and Neptune all in one sign - PISCES! Talk about grace! If you do nothing else, this week, give someone, somewhere, a pass. Offer your forgiveness. Show benevolence.

Elsa, The Life Of Lila – Drama Queen Extraordinaire
March 4, 2013 by
My dog, Lila, has a dramatic Leo Moon. She's an eternal child with golden hair. She's best friends with the big, black, muscular, Boxer girl dog who lives next door. These dogs met as puppies, spying each other through the fence. Love at first sight! They repeatedly tore the fence down so they could play together. The parents on both sides of the fence finally gave up trying to repair it. We now have a "dog hole" in the fence so the girls can come and go. Lila is obsessed with her giant … [Read more...]
Elsa P., Stellium in Pisces, Full Moon in Virgo, Mercury Retrograde
February 21, 2013 by
This is a freaky week ... There are three main things to try to understand: Stellium in Pisces Full Moon in Virgo Mercury Retrograde The stellium in Pisces cannot be denied. 'The Sun, Mercury, Mars, Chiron and Neptune are all in Pisces. Venus will join them in the sign on Monday. Look for people to be inspired, transcendent, delusional, disappearing, tricky, self-undoing, undermining (or undermined), self-sacrificing and everything else you can think of that's associated … [Read more...]
Mars In Pisces: Avoiding Self-Sabotage & Fighting With The Flow
February 19, 2013 by
Mars is stirring your desire to right wrongs, solve problems and set certain processes in motion. The idea you’re toying with seems almost too bold and audacious, but you intuitively know that a radical step must be taken. If you act on it decisively, it will transform your world into an unimaginably exciting and inspiring place. Saturn, the ruler of material and practical matters, is at peak power, so you may be feeling boxed in and trapped by circumstances beyond your control. Resist the … [Read more...]
Elsa P – Almsgiving, Stellium in Pisces and Saturn Retrograde
February 14, 2013 by
This week is dominated by Jupiter in Gemini squaring a large stellium in Pisces. Keywords for this energy include grace, transcendence, forgiveness, bliss and benevolence. I think it's cool this period coincides with the Lenten season, where people are encouraged to give alms. It's a wonderful time to share your gifts with others.You can't go wrong by giving generously (Jupiter) over the next several weeks. Outside of that, all planets remain direct this week until Sunday when Saturn in … [Read more...]
Elsa P: January 31, 2013 – All Planets Direct! FOG!
January 31, 2013 by
This is a strange week! All planets are direct now and will stay the way through February 17th. You can take this to mean you're going to move forward now. Some will crawl ahead reluctantly. Others will hurtle ahead, happily or maybe stupidly as the case may be. One way or other, it's all systems GO this week...GO into the fog that is. I think this is quite funny in a cosmic joke way. We won't be moving backwards with all the planets in direction motion, but as the week passes, … [Read more...]
