This is an excellent time to breakaway from the pack. The Sun will be exactly conjunct Mars in Aries on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. This is especially notable because Mars is in it's own sign and the Sun is exalted. Aries is concerned with courage and fresh starts. Mars love competition and will fight to win. The Sun is a creative force. Solar energy is overt. This is why the Sun is high-functioning in Aries. Do you have the courage to shine brightly? You can think … [Read more...]
“Gravel in your guts, and spit in your eye…”, Elsa P.
The stellium in Aries (Mars) is in full effect now, squared by Pluto in Capricorn (Saturn), and aspected by Saturn in Scorpio (Mars). Anyway you turn it, we're looking at a Mars / Saturn combination, which known to be CRUEL. This scares people, but in reality, energy is neutral until directed. I explained this here: "Gravel in your guts, and spit in your eye..." To elaborate, an Olympic athlete's training is rigorous and punishing. They endure it voluntarily and it's only sports where … [Read more...]

Elsa, The Life Of Lila – Drama Queen Extraordinaire
My dog, Lila, has a dramatic Leo Moon. She's an eternal child with golden hair. She's best friends with the big, black, muscular, Boxer girl dog who lives next door. These dogs met as puppies, spying each other through the fence. Love at first sight! They repeatedly tore the fence down so they could play together. The parents on both sides of the fence finally gave up trying to repair it. We now have a "dog hole" in the fence so the girls can come and go. Lila is obsessed with her giant … [Read more...]

Mars In Pisces: Avoiding Self-Sabotage & Fighting With The Flow
Mars is stirring your desire to right wrongs, solve problems and set certain processes in motion.

Saturn, the ruler of material and practical matters, is at peak power, so you may be feeling boxed in and trapped by circumstances beyond your control. Resist the … [Read more...]
Elsa P: January 31, 2013 – All Planets Direct! FOG!
This is a strange week! All planets are direct now and will stay the way through February 17th. You can take this to mean you're going to move forward now. Some will crawl ahead reluctantly. Others will hurtle ahead, happily or maybe stupidly as the case may be. One way or other, it's all systems GO this week...GO into the fog that is. I think this is quite funny in a cosmic joke way. We won't be moving backwards with all the planets in direction motion, but as the week passes, … [Read more...]
Elsa P: Full Moon in Leo, Change In The Storyline (Around The World)
The Moon takes a bumpy ride through Cancer for the rest of the work week. Emotions will be disturbed as she's challenged by Uranus in Aries and Pluto and Venus in Capricorn.
