If you find yourself fighting with your partner, give them some space or take some yourself and this may … [Read more...]

ELSA P. – Planetary Positions to Guide – Multi-Tasking, Mercury Retrograde/Dark Undercurrent
I am on the verge of ruining my reputation for being super-negative and while I feel bad about this, I have to say we've got another great week on tap.

ELSA P. – Planetary Positions to Guide…
This week is extraordinary. With six planets in the Venus-ruled signs, this is no time to be jaded or difficult to get along with. There will simply be no status awarded for anti-social behavior. To some, it will be sickeningly sweet to watch all the compromise and peacemaking going on. But this force is so strong and the focus so narrow, even if you hate veneer and loathe co-dependence, you're likely to see that social grace, rules and cooperation are called for at this time.This energy … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Reversals, Betrayals And A Tempest In A Teapot
There is intense focus on relationships this week. Even if you act independently it will be in relation to another person.

Elsa P – Planetary Positions to Guide – Creating A Masterpiece
With Mars squaring Saturn, you'll probably be fighting an uphill battle this week but not without distraction. Whether this is good or bad is open for debate. We spent most of the summer pinned down under the Cardinal grand cross. The upside of that is that it forced people to focus. Some things snapped under pressure but other things improved. This week calls for perseverance but the stellium in Leo (including Venus) opposing Neptune invites people to dream of love and money they are not … [Read more...]

ELSA P. – ‘Cardinal Grand Cross, Fantasy And Brains As An Aphrodisiac’
The cardinal grand cross dominates this intense, interesting and intricate week. The cross will create a stressful, pressured atmosphere that will be sustained all week.
