Wherever warrior Mars appears, you can expect a certain amount of carnage. Now that he’s traveling backwards, it’s as though he’s got the gory task of sifting through the remains of whatever he took his wrecking ball to. Virgo’s landscape is the region in which Mars retraces his steps. Virgo aims for perfection, and chastises [...]

As Luna breezes onto the decorated Libra scale this afternoon, we begin to detach from our sensitivities in order to create balance and inner peace. Here is where we can manage to stay neutral and composed ~ while basing decisions on reality and facts. Energy is favorable for socializing, hanging with friends, researching information, flirting, friendly talks, confronting issues, negotiating, as well as kissing and making up. Later, As Moon opposes distant Uranus and uncaring Venus, we may find some real enjoyment in quality ‘me’ time. A nagging, sweet tooth may also some satisfaction from this vibration. “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Albert Einstein.

The chart was talking to me and it would not shut up. I was trying to sleep. I had tossed and turned all night, waking up every two hours. When the morning came, I could sleep in, but I couldn’t sleep. I got up to write down what the chart was saying so that I wouldn’t forget. When it was time to email the querent again, I was grateful I had my notes.

Strange how that happens but not so strange at all. Sometimes charts scream to be heard. And sometimes when you are most sleepy is when it happens – the left side of the brain is all shushed.

Venus and Uranus are conjunct now, a charismatic, sexy aspect. Venus will square Pluto, also a charismatic, sexy aspect but darker. I wonder if your love life is being…

Eli’s coming.

In the aftermath of the Super Bowl, I have been thinking a bit about Eli Manning (Capricorn). In sports circles, for the last six weeks, people have kept saying that Manning is an “elite” quarterback. In fact, his name “Eli” is embedded in “Elite.” So that association was easy enough to make; Eli/Elites. But there had to be a little more, more than just an obvious reference to “elites” Why Eli? Well I did a quick search and found something truly interesting. Europe’s next big project is called, “ELI” short for “Extreme Light Infrastructure.”

ELI is essentially a laser, but not just any laser. It will be powered by four separate facilities in Hungary, The Czech Republic, Romania and a fourth location TBD in 2012.

Here is what Wikipedia says about, ELI; “The Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI)…

FEBRUARY 6th, WEEKLY WRITTEN HOROSCOPES

VENUS ENTERS ARIES

WOMEN ON TOP

Venus enters Aries this week on Wednesday, February 8th. Independence, courage, sex, and identity are themes that are likely to play out in our relationships. Although Venus may feel a bit uncomfortable handling such masculine energy, for those of us that are a little shy when it comes to pursuing passion, this energy will put some fire on your tail and really heat up your romantic life, especially sexually. It’s also a good time to explore one’s own needs and wants. I think this is particularly helpful for women who may make a habit of pleasing their partner before they’ve even become clear about what their own needs and desires are. Women get to play the masculine role now…to feel what it’s like to be aggressive and bold..to take the risk and actually play the role of the pursuer!

Love comes through just being yourself.…

I know it’s controversial, but I like Saturn. Yes, he’s quite active in my own chart, but I do like how I become better under his influence – and I love witnessing how clients mature under his initially challenging tests. It’s true, nobody likes a reality check, but Saturn also brings the strength to help you make necessary – and ultimately good for you - changes.

Saturn represents the end of the solar system, at least as we can experience it physically.Without some kind of technological aid, your naked eye won’t see past the bounds of Saturn. Herein lies much of Saturn’s meaning – that he represents a limit or boundary.

When Saturn’s active in your chart – by transit or progression – you’ll feel as though you, like the planet Saturn, have come to a place in life where there are limits…

I’ve got Pluto stationing in hard aspect to my natal Mercury, where Mercury is a major planet in my world.  I just about loathe to say anything to anyone because people keep being damaged by my communications. I can figure out why this happened. once it happens but injuring them (or anyone else) was not my intention so it’s pretty gross.  It’s like walking in a room and everyone faints because you smell so bad, but you had no idea there was an odor!

This is from 2007. I was talking to my friend, Ben, about my now husband…

Ben and I have tracked each other for 25 years. We keep each other filled in as to what we’re up to, the turns we make in our lives and so forth. We were talking about the soldier, and the various ways my association with him has been impacting and influencing me. I have a 7th house Uranus. So does Ben. It indicates a strong attraction to the unusual.

Over the next few weeks, Aries will be the sector of your chart where you can surprise everyone (including yourself) in the following areas: love, money and self-esteem. Venus moved into Aries yesterday and will form an exact conjunction to … Continue reading →

Neptune has a shadow side just as much as Pluto does, and on a collective level it comes out in the form of mass suffering and victimhood. Neptune entered the sign it rules, Pisces, 2 days ago, and the next day there were reports of a massacre of 200 people by the security forces in Syria.

Just as on the day Uranus entered Aries last year a nuclear power station exploded in Japan, so too has Neptune entering Pisces revealed its presence from day one.

Neptune is currently conjunct Chiron, and the last time this occurred was in the sign of Libra in 1945: then it was the signature of both the founding of the UN and Hiroshima.

Conflict between nations is a Chiron issue because it is in a sense incurable: it has always been there…
