Logic and practical measure will be out of our hands as Mercury squares Neptune rx during the wee hours of the morning. We may be forced to rely on our intuition and gut instinct today as Neptune rx leaves us in the dark. The woozy energy can feel mystically relaxed with poetic words of charm. Later, Moon enters icy Aquarius, encouraging a more independent mood. The distance that we create from ‘every day rules’ gives us the air that we need to breathe. Inventive ideas stroll toward us from a kind Moon/Uranus rx sextile. “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.” Albert Einstein.

Eclipses are extra potent moon phases signaling a beginning or completion of a major lesson or lessons in life, thus marking turning points and opportunities.  We need to pay attention, to be alert, and to take steps in making it a reality.  This particular Lunar Eclipse at 18 Gemini 10 at 6:38 am PST on December 10^th 2011 is emphasizing that we need to focus on getting it right at this point in time, is no exception.  Fortunately or unfortunately, accordingly to how each of us will experience this eclipse, the Universe is taking dramatic steps in reassuring and revealing to each of us the areas we need to concentrate on, if we are to experience a better tomorrow.  It is still up to each of us to be sensitive and aware of the message and to act upon…

Water is the weakest element in my chart. Its sensitive, receptive and intuitive qualities are something that I am constantly working on; it never comes naturally. There are benefits to being weak in water to be sure and I’ve had many people tell me they’re admirable. But as with many things in life, the degree of your strength can indicate the degree of your weakness and vice versa. I used to think very emotional people were kind of lame. Especially with my Sag planets, a sign that is notorious for its insensitivity. Just get over it! Lighten up!

So I’m dedicating three posts to the water signs. Like many people, what I don’t have naturally in my chart, I instinctively seek from my environment. I hang with a lot of watery people and this series is about what I’ve learned…

I started laughing when I saw Venus in Scorpio square Neptune in Aquarius for Halloween. I mean, what’s more perfect for millions of people playing dress-up and pretending to be something or someone very different from their day to day persona! Odds are there will be plenty of sexy costumes with some very odd twists running around saying “trick or treat” this year. Mercury in Scorpio takes its turn squaring Neptune within a few hours of Venus and the truth will be lost in the foggy depths of Halloween night. [...]

So this amazingly Luxe video should absolutely be considered porn for Capricorns.
Taurus will probably dig it too. Beautiful fabrics, tangible signs of wealth, an obvious devotion to success and all it’s trappings, expressing your artistic genius to the fullest,
even Virgo is gonna get a little hott looking at all these details SO just right…

But truly, I think it is the sheer deliberateness of the video that elevates this cut to Earth Sign Nirvana.

Doesn’t it look like with each thing she does, she meant to do that?

And the Name of the video is CHARACTER.

Holy f**k! What could be more Capricorn that that?

“Who are you, in the face of disappointment? Where is your character, the one who keeps you going…”

Thanks Mara! That’s our question for today.

Capricorn Moon Today Yall..

“Who…

Your life is right now:  whatever it is, whatever is there.  It’s not something that is going to happen but now. Present moment.

This kind of talk feels like Saturn to me: work, reality, time… as opposed to Neptune who is our fantasy, ideal, like the girl you’re too scared to touch.

Real Time = Saturn

But how do we please Saturn, how do we dance for Saturn, sing for Saturn, cook for Saturn… because doing it for Neptune seems obvious enough:  you do NOTHING. You let it disappear (and this is one side of Neptune, I know).

Saturn: the shoes on your feet, stray hair on the shower wall, the rumpled bed, the pots and pans (my Virgo Moon details), the cat box, dirty or clean, the tink tink tink of the heater hissing and purring…

And can you,…

We’ve slogged our way, groaning and complaining (mostly about Simon Cowell) through audition and bootcamp phases of The X Factor USA. As I’ve written before on this blog, TV musical talent shows are my/our “guilty pleasures”; such shows are routinely put down as “fodder for the sheeple” by critics. But I love, and get a kick from the idea, that ordinary people of the 99%: car washers, burrito

What we call the “fixed stars” (as opposed to planets, known in antiquity as the “wanderers” because they moved across the sky from the vantage point of ancient humans) are actually not so fixed.  Although they appear in the same position in the sky, their apparent motion does shift by about 50 seconds of arc per year.

Regulus, the star associated with royalty, is also called “The heart of the Lion” because of its placement in the center of the Leo star system.  But Regulus is moving into Virgo for the first time since around 200 bce, creating a major shift of star energy.

The exact time of this shift is in dispute.  Solar Fire, an astrology software program used by many professional astrologers (including me) lists the entry of Regulus into Virgo in early 2011 – others say that…

Now that Halloween is upon us, it’s fascinating to contemplate masks, which are a favourite feature of trick or treating. The irony is that the vast majority of people are masked every day of their lives. People mask their true identities for various reasons: Some feel that their real self is unsuitable for public viewing [...]
