Capricorn Full Moon Sun in Cancer ~ Moon in Capricorn 20º Saturday, July 12, 5:24 AM Mountain Time (Saturday, July 12, 11:24 AM Greenwich Time) Work, work, work! We want it if we don’t have it, we rail against it if we have too much, we glow with a task well accomplished and we deflate when we fall short. A job well done is a crowning glory. A Capricorn Full Moon will shine its bright light on our outer, career-oriented self, on who we are out in the community, on our inner … [Read more...]
Elsa P: May 24, 2012 – Gaslighting, Angst and Accident
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 12, 2012 – Slow Start To A Fast Week
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 P. – Full Moon In Leo, Saturn Retrograde and Piss Off Mommy At Your Own Risk!
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. – Planetary Positions to Guide…moon is in Scorpio
The moon is in Scorpio heading into the weekend. It gets on well with the grand trine in earth which gives structure to the deep emotions of the collective as well as your own. It's smooth sailing up until Friday night at which point. At that point the moon collides with Mercury in Leo and we should see some theatrics. I have this Venus/Scorpio square in my chart and cop to liking intense (Scorpio) drama (Leo). Deep emotion can fuel creativity, the way that sex (Scorpio) can make … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Planetary Positions to Guide…
The air and fire signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius) dominate as we head into the weekend making this is a good time to flirt or assert yourself socially in other ways. Make the call or the contact now when people (including you) are fairly light on their feet because the emotional temperature will drop over the weekend and people will be less amenable. Saturday brings a reality check but it is no worse than anything we've dealt with over the last month. If you like how … [Read more...]
Elsa P. – The Moon is in Leo: 'Better Safe Than Sorry'
The Moon is in Leo as we head into a weekend that favors drama and creativity. I wish I could stop right there but it's far more complex. We've got people reversing course, preaching for the other side. We've got people plagued with dark thoughts mixed with people in denial. We've also got people out there, angry and under intense pressure which is never a good combo. I think it's possible to work well with all of this, especially if you have a creative outlet and a way to express your rage … [Read more...]

VERBENA: Is Your Astro-Opposite Your Best Choice?
Is Your Astro-Opposite Your Best Choice? ... Not at all! It’s entirely possible that the old saying “opposites attract” was coined by an astrologer, because in several ways the sign that stands across from yours on the astrological wheel can add some important elements to your life. But if you’re a Virgo, for example, is Pisces, your astro-opposite, always your best choice for a mate, friend or co-worker? As people become better and better informed about how astrology really works, … [Read more...]
