Regardless of background noise, most have something going well in their life at this point. If not, this is a good week to whip something into shape as things are more favorable than we've seen in a while. Specifically, Mercury is in its own sign, Virgo, Mars is at home in Scorpio, Neptune is in the sign it rules, Pisces, and Saturn is in exaltation in Libra. You should be able to think (Mercury), act (Mars), imagine (Neptune) and get along with others (Saturn in Libra). That's the … [Read more...]
Elsa P: August 16, 2012 – Drama, Surprise, Challenge And Soothing
August 16, 2012 by
Few will be bored on Thursday as Venus squares Uranus and opposes Pluto. Things are poppin'! Further, with the Sun, Moon and Mercury in Leo, there will be no shortage of drama as we head into the New Moon on Friday. There are any number of ways to fare well here. You can detach (Uranus) and be entertained (Leo) by the machinations (Pluto) of others (Venus). If you have Leo in your chart, you may prefer to be the show rather than see the show. What's nice is that most combinations will … [Read more...]
Elsa P: Warning to Young Women and Mothers With Children
August 9, 2012 by
August 9, 2012 - Focus on Love And Money This will be a complicated week on the love and money front. Venus in Cancer forms a cardinal T-square with Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn, while Mars conjuncts Saturn in Venus-ruled Libra. None of this can be described as comfortable or kind, but that does not mean the week will not be productive. You can expect things to move ahead this week on almost every front. In some cases, it will be due to pressure (Saturn) and the dedicated … [Read more...]
Elsa P: July 26, 2012 – Cosmic Block Party – Full Moon in Aquarius
July 26, 2012 by
Most will cut a break this week. The Sun, Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus are all in air and fire signs. Any way you turn it, that's a lot of agreement. Last week we had strife in the background. This week looks more like a block party. The Moon is in Scorpio for the rest of the work week. It's not well aspected so there will be an undertow, but it's not going to dominate. If you want to chew your arm off, go ahead. The rest of us will draw energy from the Moon and use it to … [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...]
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 21, 2012 – Crack Some Eggs To Make An Omelette!
June 21, 2012 by
This is an energetic, exciting, week that will prove to be pivotal for many. The exciting energy comes from the tight aspect between Uranus and Pluto. We'll pivot as Venus and Saturn turn direct and I'll elaborate. Uranus and Pluto in hard aspect will bring intense (Pluto) upheaval (Uranus), which is not always negative. Here's an example of what I mean: Sudden, unexpected (Uranus) endings (Pluto). This could be as drastic as a death, but it may also bring the end to your personal … [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...]
Elsa P: May 17, 2012 – Imagination Aids Problem Solving
May 17, 2012 by
The solar eclipse in Mercury-ruled Gemini on Sunday marks the peak of this week where mental functions will be emphasized.Variety is a key concept for Gemini and we'll see plenty of that. Thursday, the Moon in Aries opposes Saturn in Libra putting focus on the me-we axis. So many want to be "on their own" (Aries) but supported by others (Saturn in Libra). People want to be independent, but not alone and balancing this is the job of the day. Friday, the Moon joins the Sun, Mercury and … [Read more...]
Elsa P: May 10, 2012 – Lots Of Luck And Ease, Amid The Tension
May 10, 2012 by
Things move slowly on Thursday with the Sun, Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Pluto in earth signs. If you like the pace, great. If you don't, you won't have to put up with it for long. Friday, the Moon hits Aquarius, in aspect to Uranus in Aries and things are sure to pick up. Saturday is a banner day. The Sun conjuncts Jupiter in Taurus; we have a grand trine in earth and a second grand trine in air. With the emphasis on Taurus, it's important to note that ruler Venus is involved in one of … [Read more...]
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...]
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...]
ELSA P. – March 29, 2012 – Keeping Your Cool In A Traffic Jam – Mercury Direct
March 29, 2012 by
This whole week looks like a traffic jam to me. The arrangement of cars changes constantly but no one is going to sail through these next days without a variety of encounters with others. Not all the the meetings will be jarring or stressful. It's possible to fall in love in a traffic jam. People who can keep their wits and sense of humor in the chaos will be fare best. Thursday we have two grand trines for support, but Mercury, Mars and Saturn are all retrograde and people are fed up … [Read more...]
