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...]
FULL MOON and her phases, a wondrous natural sight
July 2, 2012 by
The July 2012 full moon falls on Tuesday, July 3, at 18:52 Universal Time. Although the full moon comes at the same instant for everyone worldwide, the clock – as always – reads differently according to time zone. In the United States, the full moon occurs on July 3 at 2:52 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, 1:52 p.m. Central Daylight Time, 12:52 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time and 11:52 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time. For us across the United States, the moon turns astronomically full – or stands most … [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...]

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.

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. , Planetary Positions – dynamic week, loaded with potential!
March 15, 2012 by
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
March 8, 2012 by
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...]
ELSA P. – Planetary Positions to Guide: The Plot Thickens
March 1, 2012 by
Thursday is a mixed bag. We've got a mutable t-square along with a grand trine in earth which suggests people will be comfortable even though communications will be flying left and right. Some interactions will be heated with Mars in Virgo but you should be able to keep a foot on the ground, thanks to the grand trine. This ought to be an interesting day. Friday, the general theme continues but the plot thickens. We'll have two grand trines on offer, but the Moon gets wrapped … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Planetary Positions to Guide…Valentine’s Day
February 9, 2012 by
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. – Full Moon In Leo, Saturn Retrograde and Piss Off Mommy At Your Own Risk!
February 2, 2012 by
People have been prickly over the last 10 days, thanks to the Venus Mars opposition. This aspect has peaked at this point so you should see tension ease as days pass. Thursday is quirky as the Moon in Gemini trines planets in Aquarius but is simultaneously tweaked by Pluto in Capricorn. You can compare this to enjoying yourself at a party, in spite of nagging doubt! Things improve on Friday under a grand trine in air. In a word - socialize! Saturday things get sticky and Sunday is … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Full Moon & Frenetic Activity, Cardinal T-Square and Mercury Turns Direct
December 8, 2011 by
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...]
