Wow, what a natal chart! What a life Grace Slick has led!

She has a Grand Trine involving Mercury at 27 Scorpio, Jupiter at 29 Pisces and Pluto at 2 Leo. Because it is balanced on the edge of Water and Fire signs, I will refer to it as a ‘Grand Trine in Steam’ and if you read her life story, you will see that she did get into a lot of hot water.

Scorpio Sun in the 12th house square Pluto. She drew people in with her dark and compelling inner power. Sun in Tsquare with Pluto and Saturn. She did have difficulties with authority figures and police. Saturn in the 5th shouts, ‘Hey you in the uniform! What are you doing at my party?’ Saturn in Aries in the 5th house is on the receiving end of a Yod…

After weeks in the mushy, unstable waters of Pisces, Venus finally makes her move onto the heated stage of Aries. This love goddess who rules the planet of love, is hungry for the blood and the fight of honor. She entices our taste for passion, by challenging us to step up to the plate and prove where our heart is. This is the fighting ring of Aries, ruled by Mars; God of War. Our hunger increases for the spotlight, undivided attention, and the championship ring. This is fiery energy that is pure and raw. Venus in Aries inspires that which we hold important; to be animated, dramatic, and exciting. Magic and the speed of light complete our romance with adventure. Bold acts that sizzle with fun and laughter scores major points. This is our sizzling playground of love and sex.

In case yesterday’s Full Moon wasn’t hot enough, Venus moves out of the sign of her exaltation, and into the sign of her detriment until March 5. It’s a noticeable shift from the oceanic depths of Pisces into Aries’ creative flame. What a leap! Pisces is focused on everyone else, while Aries is focused on [...]

After three weeks of basking in the sign of her exaltation, it was time for Venus to stop resting on her laurels and start blazing a new trail.

I don’t know how I survived my early years. The things nobody knew, the things I didn’t speak of. Saturn was in Libra then too. Saturn would have conjuncted Pluto at some point.

“You became depressed” is what I heard in my head. “Numb. So nothing could get out.”

“And then in your mid-30s, when you finally removed the cloak of depression…”

I was in meditation class, having the above dialogue with myself. I didn’t intend to. It just showed up. I had been thinking about the Full Moon in Leo squaring my natal Saturn in Taurus, an aspect which threw me into mourning for a few hours.

Moon-Saturn contacts are a daily (Moon) death (Saturn). I have the natal trine which softens the blow.

One of my Twitter pals requested that I write about the Full Moon in my…

Which Mars is better, which Mars would win? This is a type of question that comes up not infrequently. Mars’ rulership is both Aries and Scorpio (though Scorpio is Pluto-ruled as well) so it makes for an easier comparison.

Many people don’t realize that the twelve signs of the zodiac are really six sets of polarities and the two signs opposite each other have a great deal in common. It could be said they are two sides of the same coin. I’m going to go through each set over the next few weeks and give you a good understanding of this principle in hopes that it can help you understand others better. Since it is February and Aquarius is influencing us right now, I’ll start with that one.

You can have a heavy influence from ANY sign if you have it rising or your Moon sign, or even if you have planets occupying the houses associated with them—in this case, the fifth house for Leo and the eleventh for Aquarius. Therefore, these may apply to you even if your…

Note: With this article, we begin a two-part series on the significance of Neptune’s entry into the sign of Pisces, where it will remain for the next 14 years.  First, let me offer a positive vision of what this may mean and then follow up with a bit of caution in the next newsletter.

It isn’t every day or even every decade that a slow-moving outer planet like Neptune changes signs. When it does, major shifts occur, usually signaling a new era. For example, Pluto changed signs from expansive Sagittarius to prudent Capricorn in 2008 and within months we got a dose of limitation with the stock market fall.

What does Neptune’s sign change portend for us?

Outer planets represent energies that are universally felt. Neptune specifically influences the prevailing collective unconscious as seen through culture and art.

Since January…

Isis emerges on the Cancer Moon

Sometimes I just can’t help myself. I see some tasty ritual theater and I start to salivate just a little more. Sweat starts to seep through my palms. My blood pressure rises ever-so-slightly. I begin to immediately scan for symbols and clues. The hunt is on! Sunday’s Super Bore was no different. I just had to do a post on the game, easily the most disconnected and meaningless scrimmage of any importance I’ve seen between two teams. This game will be remembered more for the pass Wes Welker didn’t catch than almost any other nondescript moment. Mario Manningham had a nice reception. Chase Blackburn, a guy who had been teaching just a few weeks ago had a key, late interception, but other than that, little else.

Football has changed so much since I was…

“Your voice is like thunder booming across the land,” I told the soldier. “You are so loud.”

“P, it is you who is scary and we both know it’s true.”

“Why do you want a woman who is scary, anyway? Why would that be?”

“Because she’s pretty and she’s nice most of the time.”
