This weekend has the kind of sky makes for a rather interesting story… interesting, as in “may you lead an interesting life,” or “may the fleas of a thousand camels nest in your armpits.” It’s going to be more interesting if you’re the leading character. If you keep your eyes on the prize and your wits about you without succumbing to the emotion or the drive, you’ll probably do just fine.

The sensitive Moon in Pisces is besieged, in hard aspect to Mars, Uranus and Pluto. Sorry but this looks like a bloodbath to me.

The stress on Mercury is also very intense. Lay low if you can but that is a big IF.

Today Cosmic Messenger Mercury spends his final hours in Capricorn’s professional realm. On his way out of the boardroom he appears to slap Saturn in Libra by way of a tense 90-degree angle. Is this trickster Mercury’s idea of a joke, or does it point to a deeper insecurity about the passage of time and [...]

“Halo”, my name is Newt and I’ll take you to the Moon.

How about that wild Pisces/Chiron conjunction the other day? Talk about lunacy. Newt Gingrich vowed to have a full-time lunar base by the end of his SECOND term. Whoa Newty. Aren’t we getting a little ahead of ourselves here? You need to win that first fake election this go round. Now I know that occasionally you know things other people don’t like the development of “Homeland Security” well in advance of 911, but a base on the Moon? Oh wait, since you already knew about DHS, well maybe, just maybe you might already know something about the Moon, like perhaps that bases are already there. Maybe it was those bourbons you threw back with Dick Hoagland, one bleary night in Buckhead. Or maybe, you’ve already been there.…

The Moon merely flirts with Aries in the wee Monday morning hours of the 30th and then calmly moves into Taurus bringing us a stabilizing force to start our week. The mood is supported by a happy and optimistic conjunction to Jupiter. The week ends with Neptune’s gentle entry into Pisces where it will stay for the next fourteen years. Plenty of time to make dreams come true.

That’s the Moon, Venus and Jupiter in the pic. It even looks comfy.

Worn-out ways will hinder only our growth as communication expert Mercury squares grumpy Saturn. We need to stay open-minded today, or we can appear hard-headed and resistant to change. Like the old saying ‘my way, or the highway’. Stubbornness only proves we are unwilling to be flexible and meet others halfway. As Saturn transits Libra, our professional, personal and romantic relationships will be influenced. Venus, the ruler of Libra, is in compassionate Pisces. We should stay grounded and aware of our realistic responsibilities to others, but be willing to listen to other points of views. Otherwise, we can become the strict adult who assumes that we ‘know it all’, if we haven’t researched or collected enough information to evolve with the present. Learn how to build and progress your future happiness, rather than shutting down another day.

Mercury also leaves…

I had a new Venus square Saturn thought the other day as I was reading a list of what Saturn rules and Saturn rules beggars among many other things and I thought: AHA! Venus Saturn must beg for love. Like the dog she (or he) is

Begging leads one to embarrassment which leads one to shame which leads one to… well, it just goes on and on. Rejection, self-loathing.  I can’t remember if Saturn rules shame. It probably does. Or Saturn and Pluto combined (which is why Saturn Pluto transits are so rough in my opinion. Don’t get me started talking about my own again.)

Venus square Saturn has to learn (Saturn) that she (or he ) is good (Venus) enough.

Saturn turn retrograde @ 29 Libra on February 7th, retracing it’s steps back to 22 degrees before it turn direct on June 25th.  Saturn-ruled Capricorns and Aquarius will be most affected but they’ll also be the most supported provided they abide social (Libra)  rules (Saturn). I am talking about things like reciprocity and doing right by others.

People fear and often loathe retrograde periods but I don’t know why.  Everyone knows that progress does not occur in a straight line. It is entirely appropriate to review something before moving ahead and these periods should be used to their maximum potential.

From ghoulies and ghosties and long leggety beasties and things that go bump in the night….and loopy Oklahoma senators, Good Lord, deliver us! Before we hightail it out of this crackpot state for a few days, this from Huffington Post yesterday:OKLAHOMA CITY — A Republican state senator from Oklahoma City introduced a bill Tuesday that would ban the use of aborted human fetuses in food,

Based on the Mars Retrograde motion and some below the belt punches I revisited: I thought it might be a good Idea to repost my post on The Lilith Zone…
