While I always love to see astrology getting some press in mainstream news, the first clue that someone doesn’t know a thing about astrology is when they call the zodiac “star signs.”  The twelve signs of the zodiac represent an image of the apparent path of the Sun as it travels around the Earth, from our perspective.  The signs are relevant to the Sun, not the stars.

A Chinese firm has decided Scorpios and Virgos are too moody and critical, telling job seekers with those star signs they need not apply. Capricorns, Pisces and Libras, on the other hand, are welcome.

 

The unusual requirements are part of a job ad posted at a university in the central city of Wuhuan by an English language training company, and have generated a storm of online

The Moon in Aquarius aspects Jupiter while it trines the Sun in Sagittarius so this is no time to cling. I have news for you insecure, clingy types. You’ll be a lot less troubled in your relationships if you can learn to let people move freely in the world.

This is because people like me (and there are legions of us) will only come around if we know the door will be left open. If you held us down or tried to tie us to a short leash the last time we saw or spoke or spent time with you, we’re likely to avoid you like the plague in the future. This has the effect of exacerbating your problem and feelings of insecurity so if you can acquire this skill you’ll suffer less.

Are you clinger, a leaver or both?…

We’re fortunate this is a calmer week than the last one because most of us need some recovery time . . . I know I do! What a ride!

With the exception of Venus conjoining Pluto in Capricorn on 1 December, the other aspects of any significance involve the personal planets and are short lived in their effect. The Sagittarius Sun squares Mars in Virgo and conjoins Mercury shortly before Mercury in Sagittarius takes its turn squaring Mars. This fast moving pattern starts on Friday and last through the weekend. When mutable fire squabbles [...]

When stringed together, occurrings that recently seemed arbitrary actually may reflect a cohesive pattern. To find their connectedness, look at them from a vantage point  that you usually don’t hold. To find the story that they may be evidencing, the breakthrough “aha!” to which they may be pointing, consider that each is less separate than you had believed. Rather, look at recent events and realizations that have given you pause as a pearl in a strand, which when woven together give you the experience of the wisdom and enlightenment that comes from a whole new level of understanding.

That was quite a weekend.
Not without surprises, am I right?

Winter is here now. November is drawing to a close.
I feel like the boy in this image with snowy pine-cone eyes.

Do you think that bird-girl can sing?

What would she Say?
And How does he see?
Is she the voice of his conscience?
Or does she merely say what he can’t?
Or something else? Something he never thought of?

Maybe this bird girl will help him out ….
Is she trapped?
Red lips and red berries… what is the story here?

Isn’t now strange…

It’s a lot to synthesize…

Wouldn’t a little escape feel great?

What could Jimi Hendrix be but a Sagittarian?

Mercury is retrograde in Sagittarius, Jupiter-ruled, big. Communication glitches that arise during Mercury retrograde are more likely to be expanded in Sagittarius due to Jupiteran influence. Over the next week Mercury heads back to squaring Mars in Virgo. Mercury in aspect to Mars is speedy, and with Mercury retrograde this can result in rushing over stumbling blocks. One remedy here is to slow it all down. Mars in Virgo is detail oriented and if you take the time to slow it down, take it step by step and do it again if necessary, you can maximize the possibility of good results.

Animosity
noun, plural -ties.
a feeling of strong dislike, ill will, or enmity that tends to display itself in action: a deep-seated animosity between two sisters; animosity against one’s neighbor.

With Venus conjunct Pluto in Capricorn, I feel animosity towards certain people and I am sure they have similar feelings for me. I don’t have anyone in my personal life that feels like this about me. I tend to deal with mature, independent people where we can agree to go our separate ways.

This is not the case online in my public (Capricorn) life. People who hate my guts in waves hang around, feed off me and just in general, act in a disgusting manner.
