Is Your Astro-Opposite Your Best Choice? ... Not at all! It’s entirely possible that the old saying “opposites attract” was coined by an astrologer, because in several ways the sign that stands across from yours on the astrological wheel can add some important elements to your life. But if you’re a Virgo, for example, is Pisces, your astro-opposite, always your best choice for a mate, friend or co-worker? As people become better and better informed about how astrology really works, … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Mercury in Sagittarius: January 6, 2011 – Rolling The Dice With Your Mouth
January 6, 2011 by
Hi all, it's nice to be back after the holidays. I don't want to use the word, "dominate" but we have a strong theme running all week which bears keeping in mind. It's the big mouth factor; the broadcasting we're going to see, the "truth" telling that is guaranteed to surprise. I am talking about Mercury in Sagittarius which is code for, "run on sentence". People are going to talk about their beliefs and with Mercury in hard aspect to Jupiter and Uranus, in some cases they'll go … [Read more...]

Alchemy: Where Science and Spirituality Meet, ‘Is there an overlap?’
December 29, 2010 by
Where Science and Spirituality Meet... 'Is there an overlap between science and spirituality?' While these two fields have traditionally been seen to be at odds, the more realistic question is, what are the periods of time in which they did NOT overlap? Science, of course, is a field of study that originally emerged out of alchemy and magic. Previous to the Enlightenment, the two were not separate. Many of the people who organized the scientific revolution in human knowledge … [Read more...]
Cortney Litwin : Mercury in Retrograde – Watch out in 2011
December 22, 2010 by
Retrograde Mercury for 2011 By Cortney Litwin I’m often surprised to discover that even if someone doesn’t know much about astrology, they are often knowledgeable about retrograde Mercury. They at least know you shouldn’t sign anything, plan anything or agree to anything until after retrograde Mercury turns direct. That’s often true, but there are ways of getting around this troublesome influence. Trickster Planet Here’s the scoop: Every four months, the planet of communications … [Read more...]
Elsa P. – December 16, 2010: Simultaneously Social and Secretive
December 16, 2010 by
I like the lay of the land this week. We've got something for everyone, just like Christmas. Heading into the weekend most will be engaged with someone or something, somewhere. This is not a common scenario. For example, it's entirely impossible to drop off the screen due depression. Other people go missing due their addictions or denial. They're just not present. Some are simply detached but I don't know of anyone who is managing this at this point or even why they'd want to. … [Read more...]

Elsa P. – A Gambler, A Black Widow And…It’s a complicated out there.
December 2, 2010 by
It's a complicated out there. Heading into the weekend, people are thinking seriously now with Mercury in Capricorn but we've still got over-the-top hi-jinks, reckless behavior, dumb luck and leaps off faith that will pay off in many cases. These things clash to an extent; or balance each other if you want to take the optimistic view. "Get it while you can" becomes, get away with it while you can which is tempting to many if not most. To add intrigue, the Moon is in Scorpio until Saturday … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Moon in Virgo sextiles Venus and trines Pluto
November 28, 2010 by
People are likely to feel “ok” as the Moon in Virgo sextiles Venus and trines Pluto. That said, with Mars conjunct Mercury in hard aspect to Jupiter and Uranus, there is no telling what people are going to say. It may be mean, shocking or ahead of it’s time but whatever your impulse, we do have planets in Libra in the sky so it’s prudent to mind your manners and at least try to maintain some balance. … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Planetary Positions to Guide: ‘The weekend is dominated by communications..;
November 25, 2010 by
Happy Thanksgiving! For those who celebrate the holiday, expect more than the usual clashing and clanging of pans and people, 'round home but this does not mean there is not a good time to be had. If you're cooking, keep a closer eye than usual on the food as things can easily be scorched. This is due the Mars Mercury conjunction which speeds up the clock. Black Friday looks upbeat and happy for all except the most egregious control freaks among us. Whether you go out and shop, stay home … [Read more...]

Elsa P: November 18, 2010 – Full Moon In Taurus; Venus And Jupiter Direct – Heads Up!
November 18, 2010 by
Venus and Jupiter turn direct today. If you feel your love and luck and money have been backed up or stuck in a holding patten, this should help. I could see this kicking off some holiday shopping which is not a bad idea. Mercury goes retrograde, December 10th, so shopping early for Christmas is advised, especially for Mercury-ruled things like phones and iPads and the like. On other fronts, Mars is tightly conjunct Mercury in Sagittarius all week so people will be blurting things left and … [Read more...]
