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...]
Heads Up For The Emotionally Rocky Weekend
May 17, 2013 by
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
May 15, 2013 by
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...]
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...]
“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...]
FULL MOON
March 15, 2013 by
FULL MOONS A full moon is a lunar phase that occurs when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. More precisely, a full moon occurs when the geocentric apparent (ecliptic) longitudes of the Sun and Moon differ by 180 degrees; the Moon is then in opposition with the Sun. Lunar eclipses can only occur at Full Moon, where the moon's orbit allows it to pass through the Earth's shadow. Lunar eclipses do not occur every month because the moon usually passes above or below the … [Read more...]
Elsa, ‘malaise turn to action’
March 12, 2013 by
We've had a large stellium of planets in Pisces over the last month. One by one these bodies are leaving Pisces for Aries. You can expect to see 'malaise turn to action' , as this shift occurs! Mars -> Aries - March 12th Sun -> Aries - March 20th Venus -> Aries - March 21th Separate but related, Mercury turns direct on Sunday, March 17th. You can see what's happening here. It's like starting a sequence to launch a missile. A race car is only going to stay idle for … [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...]

March 7, 2013 by
Feel The Love...Then Take Off Like A Rocket! This is our last fishy, swishy week. 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!

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...]
