This is a freaky week ... There are three main things to try to understand: Stellium in Pisces Full Moon in Virgo Mercury Retrograde The stellium in Pisces cannot be denied. 'The Sun, Mercury, Mars, Chiron and Neptune are all in Pisces. Venus will join them in the sign on Monday. Look for people to be inspired, transcendent, delusional, disappearing, tricky, self-undoing, undermining (or undermined), self-sacrificing and everything else you can think of that's associated … [Read more...]
Elsa P. – Solar Eclipse In Scorpio, Persnickety Anger and a Sea Of Lies
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...]
ELSA – Full Moon In Libra, Mutable T- Square, Pluto Retrograde and Uranus Square Pluto!
This is an extremely dynamic week.

We have a mutable T-square involving Venus, Mars, Chiron and Neptune in effect all week. We'll see a lot of bickering with this but the overall phrase that comes to mind is, "You always hurt the one you love". I have offered very specific tips around how to deal … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – We have a very interesting week coming up!

For some, it will be extraordinary and they may not even notice because Neptune, a planet famous for obscuring things is involved here. Neptune reverses course, turning retrograde today in very tight aspect to Mercury just as it changes signs. Gemini, Virgo and Pisces are bound to be caught in some kind of time warp or confused or nuanced communication. I'm talking about something akin to deja … [Read more...]
Elsa P. – Confusion and indecision reign – Venus exalted in Pisces
Confusion and indecision reign as we head into the weekend. With Saturn exalted in Libra and ruler Venus exalted in Pisces, people who are compassionate with others while maintaining a boundary fare very well. These statements combine when you go easy on someone who is struggling without necessarily rushing in to fix their problem for them. The cardinal grand cross that dominates the sky over the weekend is quite harsh. Decisions are being made and consequences come home to roost, … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Planetary Positions to Guide: Fighting By Undermining
Mars slips into Pisces today but you may not notice as the planet is already conjunct Neptune, and tactics have been Piscean over the last two weeks anyway. As an example, the Wisconsin Democrats attacked (Mars) by disappearing (Neptune), effectively avoiding a showdown over Governor Scott Walker's union-busting bill. With Mars in Pisces, people may act compassionately but they also might slip you a Mickey. This is a date-rape aspect, where it is possible to be attacked unbeknownst to you so … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Moon in Virgo sextiles Venus and trines Pluto
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...]
