She was also going to be called Persephone, a popular choice by all accounts. However, once she was classified as a dwarf-planet it clashed with an asteroid already given that name, so that was out. Even at her inception Eris was already

With all the action on the Gemini/Sagittarius axis (Venus Retrograde, the upcoming eclipse), it’s easy to overlook Neptune in Pisces and the fact that it’s going retrograde on June 4th. But that’s Neptune energy for you; quietly dissolving limits while … Continue reading →…
From my weekly newsletter (sent tomorrow):
“Thursday, Mars in Virgo squares Mercury in Gemini, and you may want to argue and challenge the ideas of others. With the Moon conjunct Saturn in Libra, you’ll probably feel pressured to be polite about it, and to be fair. I think this bodes well for all social interaction…”

The Moon enters the sign of Libra this morning at 6:46AM EDT. A Libra Moon is a great time to balance the beauty of your everyday life with the ebb and flow of your relationships. Libra is about appreciation on the level of cooperation and compromise. The Libra Moon is a socially polite and emotionally balanced time mostly but if the scales get tipped, it can be very upsetting. Keep yourself on an even keel by focusing on your internal gratitude and the awareness of beauty in the smallest things. Great time to decorate, change things in the home and rearrange to suit a balanced inner state. During the Libra moon is a great time to do some yoga, attend an art class, or meditate. The energy of the Libra Moon is very balancing and activities where you develop

It was a special day for him and we can see that in the chart, transits and progressions. Jupiter is inconjunct progressed MC and Pluto trine progressed Venus, for example. But where is the career, where is the talent and were are the successes in the natal chart?

Meh. This Astro though, for realz…
Seriously, how intense was that Eclipse? I dont know about you guys, but it was like running straight into a brick wall over here at the Skywatch.
Glossing over the missteps completely, we look to the current challenge.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are about halfway through the year. No breaks are given between eclipses this time, as we have Venus Retrograde demanding our full attention while (F@$%^!) Mars in Virgo is squaring pretty much everything. I would say that you need to act totally serene and in control as everything explodes in your face, but that would be lying. Keep your head up, breathe and move forward as best you can. This is your show, nobody else’s.
