The earthy practical Moon in Virgo (ruled by Mercury) is all about emotional intelligence to heal ourselves. Let go of unhealthy habits that drain your life force and awaken the healer within yourself. This is a great Moon for finding a new approach to what isn't working and fix it! The Pisces Sun (ruled by Neptune) calls for breaking through in consciousness by listening to our intuition. By finding that wise inner voice, we are inspired to focus on the Virgo business of self … [Read more...]

May 23, 2013 by
You know those periods where things just seem to go your way? It's like you have an angel on your shoulder or some kind of protection. You hit a lucky streak and you know it. Venus, Mercury and Jupiter will be conjunct in the late degrees of Gemini for the rest of the month. When the two benefic planets (Venus and Jupiter) conjoin, there are kisses out there, just waiting to land on the cheeks of some of us. People with planets in the late degrees of Gemini will have good … [Read more...]
Mercury Direct Tomorrow – Goodbye Yellow Brick Road!
March 16, 2013 by
Gemini and Virgo rejoice as their ruling planet, Mercury turns direct on Sunday. With the stellium in Pisces, Virgo has been swirling and knocked around for weeks. The sooner their ruler can get the hell out of Pisces the better! Gemini is also looking good tomorrow. The Moon is conjunct Jupiter in their sign, so seize the day! For everyone else, this is your green light to shop and sign things, but I doubt many rush right out to do so. Clarity (Mercury) may not be here is exactly … [Read more...]

February 21, 2013 by
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.

Elsa P. – Solar Eclipse In Scorpio, Persnickety Anger and a Sea Of Lies
November 8, 2012 by
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 P: September 6, 2012: Think, Act, Imagine, Get Along
September 6, 2012 by
Regardless of background noise, most have something going well in their life at this point. If not, this is a good week to whip something into shape as things are more favorable than we've seen in a while. Specifically, Mercury is in its own sign, Virgo, Mars is at home in Scorpio, Neptune is in the sign it rules, Pisces, and Saturn is in exaltation in Libra. You should be able to think (Mercury), act (Mars), imagine (Neptune) and get along with others (Saturn in Libra). That's the … [Read more...]
Elsa P: August 30, 2012 – Full Moon In Pisces, Deep Thinking
August 30, 2012 by
We have a full moon in Pisces early Friday morning in the US. Later Friday evening, Mercury enters Virgo, setting up two camps. On one side we have the Moon, Neptune and Chiron in Pisces. On the other side we'll have the Sun and Mercury in Virgo. I expect this to be stressful for many. Virgo knows, or thinks it knows. Pisces confuses. People feel victimized with the Moon in Pisces. Virgo (Mercury) thinks it's pristine which sets up a hall of mirrors around who is creating problems that … [Read more...]
Elsa P: June 7, 2012 – Shocking News and Mental Pressure
June 7, 2012 by
Mercury leaves Gemini for Cancer on Thursday. Expect a choppy transition as Mars in Mercury-ruled Virgo will square the Sun and Venus in Mercury-ruled Gemini, providing enough angst that some will act out. If you can hold yourself together, I would, as Friday brings relief in the form of a grand trine in air. Saturday brings us a cardinal T-square involving Mercury, Uranus and Pluto that will dominate the next four days. Mercury-ruled Geminis and Virgos will be shocked and pressured but … [Read more...]
Elsa P: May 24, 2012 – Gaslighting, Angst and Accident
May 24, 2012 by
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: May 17, 2012 – Imagination Aids Problem Solving
May 17, 2012 by
The solar eclipse in Mercury-ruled Gemini on Sunday marks the peak of this week where mental functions will be emphasized.Variety is a key concept for Gemini and we'll see plenty of that. Thursday, the Moon in Aries opposes Saturn in Libra putting focus on the me-we axis. So many want to be "on their own" (Aries) but supported by others (Saturn in Libra). People want to be independent, but not alone and balancing this is the job of the day. Friday, the Moon joins the Sun, Mercury and … [Read more...]

It's a choppy ride, and you're likely to encounter emotional upheaval at some point, either yours or theirs. This is … [Read more...]
Elsa P: April 12, 2012 – Slow Start To A Fast Week
April 12, 2012 by
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...]
