Recently my husband and I watched one of those movies that open your mind and affect you deeply. I was struck at one point over how differently we viewed things. This movie was about a shadow figure. This man had been designated as a scapegoat for an entire community. He looked and acted the part. There came a point in the movie where things shifted and the collective shadow was thrown onto a young girl. It was striking because there were some strong male characters in this movie, and … [Read more...]

Venus, Mercury and Jupiter will be conjunct in the late degrees of Gemini for the rest of the month. When the two benefic planets (Venus and Jupiter) conjoin, there are kisses out there, just waiting to land on the cheeks of some of us.

Lunar Eclipse In Sagittarius: Tall Tales And Happy Endings
May 21, 2013 by
People associate eclipses with calamity for some reason. This makes them nervous. In reality, each eclipse has a unique flavor. It makes sense to consider what you're dealing with before you go diving under the bed until the eclipse has passed. Have you see the movie, Big Fish? It's about a man who tells tall tales. What's distinct about this man and his stories is that all his stories end well. My friend and colleague, satori, likes to say, "If a story hasn't ended well, it's … [Read more...]
Master Class, Finding Love With Astrology, Elsa P.
May 20, 2013 by
How To Shed A Mindset That Prevents You From Finding Love I have a friend whose son is in his early twenties. He's been hexed on the love front. Every woman he's ever been involved with has treated him in a crummy way. Though he is smart and looks like a model, he treats women so well that they figure something is wrong with him. He's spent his life proving the axiom that "nice guys finish last." You'd expect this man to develop a bad mindset about relationships. You'd expect him … [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...]

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.

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...]

The Moon takes a bumpy ride through Cancer for the rest of the work week. Emotions will be disturbed as she's challenged by Uranus in Aries and Pluto and Venus in Capricorn. The Moon does catch support from Saturn in Scorpio, but don't be surprised if fears around safety and security come up from the depths at this time.

Elsa P: January 17, 2013 – Becoming Cheerful
January 17, 2013 by
The Stellium in Capricorn that has dominated the last couple of weeks will break up as we head into the weekend. You can expect things and people to 'lighten up'. :) Note that while Mercury and the Sun will leave Capricorn for Aquarius by Saturday, both signs are Saturn ruled. This means Saturn in Scorpio themes will continue to be emphasized. In short, you can be called out publicly for what you do privately and this goes for good or ill. You may also be called out by your … [Read more...]

These combined energies will jump start a lot of people and you may as well be one of them. It's an excellent time to start something new. Friday is interesting.

This suggests anyone who … [Read more...]

November 22, 2012 by
Happy Thanksgiving! There are four things to keep an eye on this week: the lunar eclipse in Gemini, Mercury's turning direct, Venus conjunct Saturn, and Mars conjunct with Pluto and squaring Uranus. I'll take these one at a time. 1. Mercury turns direct on Monday. If you're waiting to buy or order or sign something, you'll be clear by the time Monday evening rolls around. There is nothing more that needs to be said. This is very straightforward. 2. Venus conjunct … [Read more...]
