Things are calm and grounded as we head into the weekend and I hope people take full advantage. Rest is just as important as anything else you can do and there'll be plenty of challenges as we move through the week, so eat and lie around until the set change occurs on Saturday. Last week I wrote about all the blathering going on and this week we've got the exact opposite. People are making plans alright, but they're likely to hold their cards close to their chest. It's as if … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Mercury in Sagittarius: January 6, 2011 – Rolling The Dice With Your Mouth
January 6, 2011 by
Hi all, it's nice to be back after the holidays. I don't want to use the word, "dominate" but we have a strong theme running all week which bears keeping in mind. It's the big mouth factor; the broadcasting we're going to see, the "truth" telling that is guaranteed to surprise. I am talking about Mercury in Sagittarius which is code for, "run on sentence". People are going to talk about their beliefs and with Mercury in hard aspect to Jupiter and Uranus, in some cases they'll go … [Read more...]
Elsa P. – December 16, 2010: Simultaneously Social and Secretive
December 16, 2010 by
I like the lay of the land this week. We've got something for everyone, just like Christmas. Heading into the weekend most will be engaged with someone or something, somewhere. This is not a common scenario. For example, it's entirely impossible to drop off the screen due depression. Other people go missing due their addictions or denial. They're just not present. Some are simply detached but I don't know of anyone who is managing this at this point or even why they'd want to. … [Read more...]
Elsa P. – Mercury goes retrograde Friday: ‘Broad Impact And Unintended Consequences’
December 9, 2010 by
Elsa P. - Mercury goes retrograde Friday Mercury goes retrograde on Friday so hopefully you'll have most your holiday shopping in the bag by then. This is especially recommended for the buying of Mercury-ruled things like phones, gadgets and anything that has to be mailed or delivered. This concludes the lightweight portion of this week's letter. The week is dominated the Mercury, Mars, Pluto conjunction in Capricorn. Capricorn is associated with government and structure, Mars with … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Moon in Virgo sextiles Venus and trines Pluto
November 28, 2010 by
People are likely to feel “ok” as the Moon in Virgo sextiles Venus and trines Pluto. That said, with Mars conjunct Mercury in hard aspect to Jupiter and Uranus, there is no telling what people are going to say. It may be mean, shocking or ahead of it’s time but whatever your impulse, we do have planets in Libra in the sky so it’s prudent to mind your manners and at least try to maintain some balance. … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Planetary Positions to Guide: ‘The weekend is dominated by communications..;
November 25, 2010 by
Happy Thanksgiving! For those who celebrate the holiday, expect more than the usual clashing and clanging of pans and people, 'round home but this does not mean there is not a good time to be had. If you're cooking, keep a closer eye than usual on the food as things can easily be scorched. This is due the Mars Mercury conjunction which speeds up the clock. Black Friday looks upbeat and happy for all except the most egregious control freaks among us. Whether you go out and shop, stay home … [Read more...]
Elsa P: November 18, 2010 – Full Moon In Taurus; Venus And Jupiter Direct – Heads Up!
November 18, 2010 by
Venus and Jupiter turn direct today. If you feel your love and luck and money have been backed up or stuck in a holding patten, this should help. I could see this kicking off some holiday shopping which is not a bad idea. Mercury goes retrograde, December 10th, so shopping early for Christmas is advised, especially for Mercury-ruled things like phones and iPads and the like. On other fronts, Mars is tightly conjunct Mercury in Sagittarius all week so people will be blurting things left and … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Mars conjunct Mercury in Sagittarius
November 11, 2010 by
It's a war of words out there with Mars conjunct Mercury in Sagittarius. People will definitely put forth their ideas all week. Some will think this refreshing. Others with be hurt, offended or angered. I think it's okay to speak as long as you mean what you say. Disingenuous types are completely out of vogue with a sky like this and people do tend to overdo under these conditions. Mouths run on and on so if you are prone to this as I am, try to check yourself. Also realize words are weapons … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Mars leaves Scorpio for Sagittarius, Heads Up: October 28, 2010 – Gladiators And Halloween
October 29, 2010 by
Mars leaves Scorpio for Sagittarius today and you should notice a shift over the next couple days. Where anger was seething, it will now be openly expressed or broadcast. This represents the difference between fighting undercover as opposed to fighting in open space like a Gladiator. Mars moves into the realm of sport which suits it. It's Halloween in the US this weekend. With the Moon in Leo and a stellium in Scorpio, the sky is marvelously well matched to a holiday where people dress up in … [Read more...]
Elsa P. – Venus Mars conjunction in Scorpio has peaked
October 14, 2010 by
This week represents a shift as the intensity brought on by the Venus Mars conjunction in Scorpio has peaked. Venus is retrograde now. Mars is moving on and we're left with a very complex playing field. Depending on nature, some will forge ahead now while others will retreat to lick their wounds. Some will do both, simultaneously, healing as they move. There is a lot of pressure to show decorum in social situations but it's not as simple as merely being politically correct. What is popular … [Read more...]
Elsa P. – Libra ruler, Venus in Scorpio conjunct Mars
October 7, 2010 by
We wake to a dramatic new moon in Libra. This puts enormous focus on relationships which are potent and super-charged right now, pretty much across the board. With Libra ruler, Venus in Scorpio conjunct Mars, the exchange between you and your partner (business or romantic) is likely to take place beneath the surface. In some cases things between partners are understood instinctually. In other cases the communication is covert, taking place behind the scenes somehow. In still other cases … [Read more...]
Elsa P. – Aftermath of the full moon in Aries.
September 23, 2010 by
We wake to the aftermath of the full moon in Aries. If you've got a black eye, take an aspirin, slap some meat on that puppy (or some ice, or a bag of frozen peas), then get ready to run because tomorrow that's what most of us are going to do. Where you run will depend on your Mars. Mars in Libra will run to the lover, Mars in Taurus will run to the mall. Mars in Gemini might run out for a new gadget but whatever your pick, most are going to want to distance themselves from something and on … [Read more...]
