This is a dynamic week, loaded with potential. While we have some jarring aspects, we also have a grand trine in earth that will last all week long. This will ground and stabilize people, allowing them to work effectively with whatever challenges arise. The situation could be considered ideal as few are moved to action when they're wholly comfortable. Thursday provides a case in point. The Moon in Capricorn transits in hard aspect to Mercury and Uranus, however it enjoys profound support … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – FULL MOON in VIRGO
Thursday kicks off with the Full Moon in Virgo. With ruler Mercury conjunct Uranus in Aries, minds will be greatly stimulated but simultaneously grounded by a fantastic grand trine in earth which protects us all week. I'm talking about having fresh, potentially brilliant ideas without the mania that can accompany that kind of thing. This scenario will be sustained over the next 7 days which will be great. Friday, the Moon in Libra fills in a t-square involving Mercury, Uranus and Pluto. … [Read more...]
YANG … a reflection on the Year of the Dragon
The Year 2012 is the 4709th Chinese year. The Chinese believe that the first king of China was the Yellow King (he was not the first emperor of China). The Yellow King became king in 2697 B.C., therefore China will enter the 4709th year on January 23, 2012. Also, the Chinese Year uses the cycle of 60 Stem-Branch counting systems and the Black Water Dragon is the 28th Stem-Branch in the cycle. Since (60 *78) + 29 = 4709, therefore 2012 is the Water Dragon year, which is the 4709th Chinese … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Mars in Virgo aspects Mercury in Pisces
Thursday, people are irritable and ready to fight as Mars in Virgo aspects Mercury in Pisces and Venus in Aries. All three planets are at exactly 17 degrees so this energy is very taut. You may fight with your partners (Venus) or your siblings or neighbors (Mercury). You might fight the nurse (Virgo) or other service-person. It may be the waitress who is aggressive but however it plays, approach people with caution today unless you're up for a battle. Friday, there is still a lot of heat … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Planetary Positions to Guide…Valentine’s Day
Thursday is interesting. We've got a calming grand trine in earth signs up against Venus conjunct Uranus squaring Pluto.. The latter is sure to cause disruption and eruption in relationships with alarming alacrity in many cases. I can only conclude that the shocks will come but people will weather them well, thanks to the trine. Friday the Moon in Libra opposes Venus and Uranus in Aries. If you find yourself fighting with your partner, give them some space or take some yourself and this may … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Planetary Positions to Guide…Relationships and interactions
Venus in Pisces opposes Mars in Virgo all week long which puts people at odds. Relationships and interactions of all kinds (Venus) are hotted up (Mars). Expect to see people fight and challenge each other, left and right. Don't expect to be clear on who the victim (Pisces) is because some people attack or get what they want (Mars) by feigning injury. Anyway you turn it, this is going to be irritating, particularly for people who have planets between 15-23 degrees in the mutable (Gemini, … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Full Moon & Frenetic Activity, Cardinal T-Square and Mercury Turns Direct
Thursday is the calm before the storm on Friday when the Moon in Gemini fills in to complete a loose mutable grand cross. Mars in Virgo is involved here with Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius, the sign of it's detriment, so expect traffic jams and communication clashes of all kinds. Gemini and Virgo will be particularly agitated but neither sign likes to be bored and both know how to juggle, so no big deal so long as you can keep perspective. Consider Friday to be a prelude to Saturday which … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – ‘Solar eclipse in Sagittarius’
Happy Thanksgiving! Mercury turns retrograde on Thursday, but outside of that it's all systems go. The Moon is in Scorpio so people will be deeply stirred for the holiday, however the solar eclipse in Sagittarius takes place just after midnight on Friday morning so things should end well. With the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus in Sagittarius on Friday and Saturday, most will feel upbeat. With this much focus on Jupiter's sign, there are bound to be many opportunities to expand. Keep an eye … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Planetary Positions to Guide – Multi-Tasking, Mercury Retrograde/Dark Undercurrent
I am on the verge of ruining my reputation for being super-negative and while I feel bad about this, I have to say we've got another great week on tap. We've got the grand trine in earth in effect all week, and even the most insane among us get some grounding out of that. Heading into the weekend, we've got the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Uranus in the fire signs so it's go, Go, GO! Go while being stabilized by the grand trine in earth. Sounds good to me. Friday evening the Moon joins … [Read more...]
11 ~ 11 ~ 11: Prophecies of the Future
"People are fascinated with repeating numbers such as 11, 11, 11 as there’s a sense that some added power manifests; they would be right. In numerology, numbers have significance. Lets take a look at the meaning the number eleven has and how this date affects the world, in general, and the people, as a whole..." PHOTO 11 ~ 11 ~ 11 November 11 2011, 11-11-11, and prophecies of the Bible Book of Revelation. Much has been said about December 21 2012, the date the Mayan calendar … [Read more...]
Elsa P. – ‘If you like Scorpio energy … Paranoia, Sex and Power’
If you like Scorpio energy, you'll be in luck this week. Regardless of what happens on the surface there will be intense exchanges of energy beneath the surface and/or behind closed doors. If you're prone to paranoia, its going to be really easy to get wrapped around the axle over these next days. If you are feeling suspicious and you know someone with a cool head, or a calming perspective, it would probably be worthwhile to run your thoughts by them as this is a situation that could easily … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Planetary Positions to Guide…moon is in Scorpio
The moon is in Scorpio heading into the weekend. It gets on well with the grand trine in earth which gives structure to the deep emotions of the collective as well as your own. It's smooth sailing up until Friday night at which point. At that point the moon collides with Mercury in Leo and we should see some theatrics. I have this Venus/Scorpio square in my chart and cop to liking intense (Scorpio) drama (Leo). Deep emotion can fuel creativity, the way that sex (Scorpio) can make … [Read more...]
ELSA P. : Planetary Positions to Guide – New Moon in VIRGO
After spending most of the summer enduring the harsh effects of the cardinal grand cross, we are graced this week with a grand trine in earth involving the Sun, Pluto and both the benefic planets, Venus and Jupiter. Most everyone will receive some type of solid, reliable, tangible support out of this. Some will receive a giant (Jupiter) kiss (Venus). This grand trine spells "satisfaction". The effects of the grand trine peak under the new moon in Virgo which occurs late in the evening on Sunday … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Planetary Positions to Guide…Vicious Grand Cross
We'll be dealing with a vicious Cardinal grand cross that involves Mars (anger, violence, ambition), Saturn (oppression, control, reality), Uranus (shock and rebellion) and Pluto (death and psychology) this week. This is not a light-weight situation but anyone who is not adverse to challenge should fare okay. This is potentially a very dangerous week but it won't help to spend it hiding under the bed. Mars is happy with prowess and achievement so set some goals and stay on top … [Read more...]
