Google’s pretty header today reminded me that it’s the 200th anniversary of the day Charles Dickens came into the world. I wrote a post about him, and his natal, chart in 2010, here’s a link to it and to comments received then: CHARLES DICKENS ~ Socialist? Nobleman? Moody?

Leo and Aquarius are fixed signs. They can both be stubborn and inflexible yet both are also very friendly and open to people.

So hard to remember on a day like today:

Ch’ui the draftsman
could draw more perfect circles freehand
than with a compass.

His fingers brought forth
spontaneous forms from nowhere. His mind
was meanwhile free and without concern
with what he was doing.

No application was needed
his mind was perfectly simple
and knew no obstacle.

So, when the shoe fits
the foot is forgotten,
When the belt fits
the belly is forgotten,
When the heart is right
“for” and “against” are forgotten.

No drives, no compulsions,
no needs, no attractions:
then your affairs
are under control.
You are a free man.

Easy is right. Begin right
and you are easy.
Continue easy and you are right.

Over the years I’ve seen many fashion accidents and they can be avoided by a bit of self searching, some knowledge of your chart and a bit of education. The first accidents can come about when one’s Sun is badly aspected by planets such as Venus and Mars when we love or crave something to wear that is just not right for us or we dress for someone else we are seeking to attract or to please. Accidents of the Sun are things like too tight clothing to “please your S.O,” for example. Tight jeans, leggings and tight T’s are not meant to be worn together no matter what your weight! The look is that of a sausage that is stuffed into one’s clothing and no one has the body or call to dress in this fashion.

I was just looking at the ephemeris and there’s an interesting redirect coming up featuring Mars, Pluto and Venus. At the end of December Venus sextiled Pluto which can bring up Pluto issues in love, taboo love, dead relationships and such. Mars was direct in Virgo at 19. The day after Valentine’s Day (and the next day as well) Venus squares Pluto, a challenging aspect, and retrograde Mars hits the same degree it did when they sextiled. If you had Venus-Pluto issues arise in late December be prepared for the possibility of their re-emergence after the holiday.

Did you have zombie love issues in late December? If so, did you embrace them, finish them off or run away? Are they likely to pop up again?

The Full Moon in Leo takes place midday in the US. Mercury is wrapped up with the Moon which puts a focus on ideas.

Mars in Virgo drives people to communicate and Jupiter opposing Saturn, pressures some to broadcast there beliefs.

In short, few will remain closed-mouthed today. Expect the phone to ring, the text or email to come in, or a knock on the door from a neighbor.

Saturn turns retrograde today. This is very powerful so for Godsakes, do right by others.

Do you ever feel as though time has suspended itself – as if everything hangs in the balance? Today might take on that surreal quality as Saturn – keeper of time – goes retrograde for four months.  This is a useful period to consider who the key players are in your life. Do some of [...]
