Thursday is a mixed bag. We've got a mutable t-square along with a grand trine in earth which suggests people will be comfortable even though communications will be flying left and right. Some interactions will be heated with Mars in Virgo but you should be able to keep a foot on the ground, thanks to the grand trine. This ought to be an interesting day. Friday, the general theme continues but the plot thickens. We'll have two grand trines on offer, but the Moon gets wrapped … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Planetary Positions to Guide…Relationships and interactions
Venus in Pisces opposes Mars in Virgo all week long which puts people at odds. Relationships and interactions of all kinds (Venus) are hotted up (Mars). Expect to see people fight and challenge each other, left and right. Don't expect to be clear on who the victim (Pisces) is because some people attack or get what they want (Mars) by feigning injury. Anyway you turn it, this is going to be irritating, particularly for people who have planets between 15-23 degrees in the mutable (Gemini, … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Full Moon & Frenetic Activity, Cardinal T-Square and Mercury Turns Direct
Thursday is the calm before the storm on Friday when the Moon in Gemini fills in to complete a loose mutable grand cross. Mars in Virgo is involved here with Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius, the sign of it's detriment, so expect traffic jams and communication clashes of all kinds. Gemini and Virgo will be particularly agitated but neither sign likes to be bored and both know how to juggle, so no big deal so long as you can keep perspective. Consider Friday to be a prelude to Saturday which … [Read more...]
ELSA P. : Planetary Positions to Guide – New Moon in VIRGO
After spending most of the summer enduring the harsh effects of the cardinal grand cross, we are graced this week with a grand trine in earth involving the Sun, Pluto and both the benefic planets, Venus and Jupiter. Most everyone will receive some type of solid, reliable, tangible support out of this. Some will receive a giant (Jupiter) kiss (Venus). This grand trine spells "satisfaction". The effects of the grand trine peak under the new moon in Virgo which occurs late in the evening on Sunday … [Read more...]
Elsa P: June 16, 2011 , Cardinal Grand Cross – Heads Up!
Upset stomachs and agitated minds will be the norm this week as Mercury is hit hard by Saturn, Uranus and Pluto. Consider this to be the baseline or the tip of the iceberg as this week's grand cross really presents an acute situation. Mercury rules Gemini, Virgo, information, communications, siblings, neighbors and your health may be involved. Expect gross, deeply (Pluto) shocking (Uranus) communications or information (Mercury) to be exposed this week. The Weiner scandal fits the mold but this … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – We have a very interesting week coming up!
ELSA P. - Planetary Positions to Guide... 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. – Planetary Positions to Guide…
What a week coming up! How you fare depends almost entirely on how you get along with Taurus the Bull. How do you feel about people who like themselves? Can you deal with stubbornness? How upset do you get if you order something to move and it just stares at you? If any of this bothers you, then you're in for some suffering at least through the weekend. There are things you can learn from Taurus. Consistency. Steadfastness. Practicality. Are you bored? Too bad. … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – March 24, 2011 – Mercury Retrograde And Various Other (Important) Sundries
I don't stress over periods when Mercury turns retrograde but I certainly note them and the conditions in this circumstance are particularly challenging. In consideration of this I would recommend getting as much of your busy work done as possible before the planet reverses course on Wednesday the 30th. With the Moon in Sagittarius today (Thursday) trining a stellium in Aries, the fire signs dominate. It's a great day to push yourself to achieve because you'll have no problem gathering and … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – Super Full Moon in Virgo on Saturday
There is a super full moon in Virgo on Saturday. If that's the show, this is a situation where the pre-show or the opening band is as compelling as the headline act. Thursday sets the stage like a movie that a starts with a dream sequence or a dramatic scene, shot in the fog. It gives you a sense there's a master plot and more to come. Information is controlled but you can see it's likely to be revealed in the near term. To relate this to your personal life, you may be the one … [Read more...]
Uranus Retrograde until March 2011..watch out!
A Celebration of Women suggests that each and everyone of us simply breathes, holds our tongues and grin when smiles are just too much to bear... March 2011 is the time Seven Years of Steadfast Aries arrives. Uranus, the Planet of Rebellion,turns Retrograde on July 5, 2010 until March 2011 Uranus is the oddball of the Solar System. For starters, it rolls along its side -- on its equator -- instead of spinning upright in its orbit the way planets typically do. Uranus is also … [Read more...]
ELSA P. – New Moon In Pisces, Maintaining Equilibrium And Giving To Get
We're headed into the new moon in Pisces on Friday where the key concept is serve or suffer. Some people don't know what that means but it's very simple. If you're feeling bad and can do something kind for someone else, invariably it will brighten your day. Give to get. Help others to help yourself. The new moon is conjunct Mars, and Virgo is likely to be stressed and agitated along with the other mutable signs, Gemini and Sagittarius. Virgo struggles with the intangible, foggy, ethereal … [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...]
