There are two things to keep an eye on over the next seven days. First, Neptune turns direct on Saturday as it squares Mercury in retrograde. Second, we have Saturday's solar eclipse in Scorpio to look at. These events will dominate the week. Eclipses scare people. They're sexy, especially when they take place in Scorpio. The Sun and Moon receive no hard aspects, so while the eclipse is potent, it's also clean. The house in your chart where the eclipse lands will be infused with pure, … [Read more...]
New Moon in Libra 10-11-12, Lull In The Action Offers A Powerful Opportunity, Elsa P
October 11, 2012 by
We have a mild week on tap, with the potential for deep healing thanks to a combination of influences. People will be surprisingly generous as recent tensions fade. With an emphasis on Gemini, Virgo and Scorpio this week, the lull in the action offers a powerful opportunity to align your mind with your gut. Think deeply. Try to establish a connection between your intellect and your subconscious so that you may better understand that which is primal inside of you. There's your … [Read more...]
Elsa P: September 6, 2012: Think, Act, Imagine, Get Along
September 6, 2012 by
Regardless of background noise, most have something going well in their life at this point. If not, this is a good week to whip something into shape as things are more favorable than we've seen in a while. Specifically, Mercury is in its own sign, Virgo, Mars is at home in Scorpio, Neptune is in the sign it rules, Pisces, and Saturn is in exaltation in Libra. You should be able to think (Mercury), act (Mars), imagine (Neptune) and get along with others (Saturn in Libra). That's the … [Read more...]
Elsa P: August 30, 2012 – Full Moon In Pisces, Deep Thinking
August 30, 2012 by
We have a full moon in Pisces early Friday morning in the US. Later Friday evening, Mercury enters Virgo, setting up two camps. On one side we have the Moon, Neptune and Chiron in Pisces. On the other side we'll have the Sun and Mercury in Virgo. I expect this to be stressful for many. Virgo knows, or thinks it knows. Pisces confuses. People feel victimized with the Moon in Pisces. Virgo (Mercury) thinks it's pristine which sets up a hall of mirrors around who is creating problems that … [Read more...]
Elsa P. – ‘Moon is full in Capricorn’
June 28, 2012 by
When the sky is overly harsh people go into survival mode. When there's a preponderance of ease, they tend to lie around. It's a balance between the two that creates conditions most conducive to productivity and that's what we have this week. There are a number of elements in play here. First, we've got a cardinal T-square involving the Sun, Uranus and Pluto in effect all week. This is very dynamic energy and anyone who can control (Capricorn) their impulses (Aries) enough to channel then … [Read more...]
Elsa P: June 21, 2012 – Crack Some Eggs To Make An Omelette!
June 21, 2012 by
This is an energetic, exciting, week that will prove to be pivotal for many. The exciting energy comes from the tight aspect between Uranus and Pluto. We'll pivot as Venus and Saturn turn direct and I'll elaborate. Uranus and Pluto in hard aspect will bring intense (Pluto) upheaval (Uranus), which is not always negative. Here's an example of what I mean: Sudden, unexpected (Uranus) endings (Pluto). This could be as drastic as a death, but it may also bring the end to your personal … [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 24, 2012 – Gaslighting, Angst and Accident
May 24, 2012 by
Mercury hits Gemini today and mental function is emphasized all week long. If you love puzzles, you may enjoy this but many will be stressed and distracted. Mercury rules short trips in the car or on foot, so keep an eye out for people who might space out and run a red light. Early in the (newsletter) week the Sun and Mercury in Gemini square Neptune so we're looking at mind fog or mental confusion. Mars is in Mercury's sign, Virgo, so some of this might be inflicted deliberately via some … [Read more...]
Elsa P: April 19, 2012 – Self Esteem And Minds On Fire
April 19, 2012 by
The Sun leaves Aries for Taurus on Thursday, forming a grand trine in Earth with Mars in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn. Jupiter is also in Taurus and if you don't like the Earth signs, you best hide under the bed through the weekend, because there is more to come. Friday is prelude to the New Moon in Taurus which takes place just after midnight on Saturday morning. If you're out Friday night, I'd be scouting for opportunity. Some think of Taurus as a boring sign. If you're bored by love, … [Read more...]
Elsa P – March 22, 2012 – New Moon In Aries, Sun Square Pluto And Big Kiss For All!
March 22, 2012 by
March 22, 2012 - New Moon In Aries, Sun Square Pluto And Big Kiss For All! We have a stunning New Moon in Arieson Thursday morning in the US. With the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Uranus all tightly conjunct in Aries, this is a brilliant time to start something, reboot your life, your attitude, your marriage or your friendships that may have fallen by the wayside. Use it or lose it because it breaks up fast. Friday, the Moon pulls away from the conjunction like an independent mother … [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. – Mars in Virgo aspects Mercury in Pisces
February 23, 2012 by
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...]
