Mars Retrograde
Unraveling Karma24 Jan 2012 | 4:10 pmMars now appears to be in backward motion from the Earth’s perspective. The energy affects us when it comes to desire, action, the use of will, self-assertion/-defense, and standing up for ourselves. This is in play from today to mid-April, when it stations direct at 3 Virgo 41. How and why you do what you do is up for review. Your normal impetus to act might feel a bit stalled now and if so, take it as a cue to let your energy field get reset about how things get and why you do them. Why you choose what you do is part of this so let any indecision open the door in your awareness to see… -
Mercury square Jupiter: Know-It-All
The Astrologer by Kelli Fox28 Jan 2012 | 3:32 amBy Kelli Fox, The Astrologer Mercury at 2 degrees Aquarius forms a square to Jupiter at 2 degrees Taurus at 8:08 pm PT. Minds are stimulated now, perhaps even over-stimulated. Boy, do we have some big ideas, and it’s wonderful to entertain such grand plans; but our optimism no doubt exceeds our ability to step up and fulfill them. We think big but we aren’t very practical. We mustn’t ignore pesky details that threaten to topple our grand plan; instead, we should figure out how to incorporate them. Remain open to others’ input, because together you’re more likely to find the answers… -

Venus in Aquarius, Mars in Aries Compatibility
27 Jan 2012 | 3:00 amSparks fly when electric Aquarius and fiery Aries meet. Both of these signs are highly independent and bent on doing their own thing. But is this a case of too much freedom for a committed relationship to be formed?Venus in Aquarius brings a touch of the outsider to her relationships. She can be a loyal partner, but she’s most comfortable expressing her love with friendly detachment. She can be very understanding of her partner’s emotional needs and is not phased by demands. Traditional relationships are not her thing; she needs room to express her quirky energy and a partner who… -
Sasstrology Forum to Close February 3
26 Jan 2012 | 2:28 pmMars is retrograde, and I feel it is triggering something in me that needs to close the forum. Honestly, I rarely participate in it myself, and if I only host it for the sake of building up pageviews so I can earn more advertising money, it feels against the values I am trying to live by. I also don’t like comments shared on the forum that bring the blog down to a level that makes me uncomfortable, and even with the help of a user-moderating flag tool, I find that I do not have the resources to monitor all that is being written on the site.For those of you who are regulars in the forum,… -
Transiting Pluto in Capricorn Aspecting Natal Venus: Through the Valley of Obsessive Love
25 Jan 2012 | 12:00 amCredit: Stockphoto4u via iStockphotoWhat happens when transiting Pluto meets Venus? The phrase that comes to mind is probably “obsessive love.” Challenging (square, conjunction, opposition) Pluto aspects to Venus are anticipated with unease. Pluto’s need for control and deep transformation does not sit comfortably with Venus, who just wants everyone to get along.If you have natal Venus in Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra, you will feel Pluto’s transit through Capricorn in the form of hard aspects.

Playing To Your Strengths To Attract A Man
28 Jan 2012 | 6:30 amWith Saturn in Libra, many are trying very hard to solve their relationship problems and what kills me about women (and some men) is they just don’t know how to play to their strengths or their strong points when it comes to attraction. If you want an example of what I am talking about, consider a woman with a lot of Scorpio which is a magnetic sign. She can pull in anything she wants (yin) but instead she puts on galoshes goes out hunting a man which as far as I am concerned is akin to putting your make-up on the back of your head instead of your face. This is just not how it’s… -

Well I gave a wrong birth time for someone to her by accident, but it was still pretty bang on. I can feel the scenario coming, but both of us are not sure how it will play out.

My Dinner Date With A Cancer Man
27 Jan 2012 | 11:07 amOne time, I went on a date with a double Cancer man. Cancer = home, family, roots, food. He took me to dinner at a restaurant that was somebody’s converted home. All during dinner he told me about the family that had lived there. He told me their names, and detailed histories with dates of various happenings. He outlined the whole family tree.

Aquarius-Leo: The Flow of Love and the Flowering of Human Consciousness, Part I
25 Jan 2012 | 2:01 amStars being born in the Orion Nebula. Composite of images from the Hubble Space Telescope, by C.R. O'Dell of Rice University and NASA/ESA. The sign of Aquarius is associated with humanitarianism, science, individuality, uniqueness, technology, the future, and groups. Gather a group of Aquarians together and the one thing that they will all have in common is their desire to be unique — to be different from each other and from everyone else. Yet, somewhat ironically, the highest octave of Aquarius is group consciousness, and the highest purpose of the integrated Aquarian Soul is that of… -
Weekly Forecast January 23: New Moon in Aquarius, Mars Retrograde
22 Jan 2012 | 7:37 pm© Dan Collier for Dreamstime.com Pip said it all in her comment on last week’s post. Just about everyone I know started having major computer problems a couple of days ago — myself included. The Internet connectivity on my computer stopped working at 1 a.m. Saturday. After nearly six hours on the phone with tech support reps in various parts of the world, I took it into a local repair shop, where it remains in a long queue. Why was I not surprised upon hearing that several other people had brought their computers in earlier on the same day? Fortunately, I have a backup, but… -
Weekly Forecast January 16: Sun Enters Aquarius
15 Jan 2012 | 9:23 pmJanuary snow. © Pat Paquette, 2012. The Sun is the star of this week’s astrology show, entering a new sign and making several significant planetary aspects from Thursday onward. This also is the last week of the entire year during which all of the planets are direct! As the old saying goes, make hay while the sun shines. Truly, this is a rare window of opportunity. Personally, I’ve noticed an interesting phenomenon over the past few weeks. Thoughts are manifesting very fast. I have an image in my mind, and before I know it, it’s reality. These are not things I’ve… -
Weekly Forecast January 9: Full Moon in Cancer, Venus Enters Pisces
8 Jan 2012 | 8:23 pmVenus in Pisces: dancer Anabel Veloso in a promotional photo for the 2009 Deje Flamenco production Nacidos del Mar. More info below. We’re in an enchanted period in which all the planets are direct. It doesn’t happen very often and it won’t last, so make it your mission this week to move full-speed ahead toward what you most want in life. I’m not saying that what you want is going to fall out of the sky into your lap, just because the planets are aligned. A good metaphor is having a strong tailwind on a long and perilous journey. We can cover a lot of ground in a short… -
Weekly Forecast January 2: Mercury Enters Capricorn
1 Jan 2012 | 7:21 pmAstrologically speaking, this is a quiet week – perfect for easing back into your daily routine, be it work, school, or life in general. Still, something seems to have changed, perhaps due to a collective expectation that, somehow, 2012 is different. It’s true that the past two years have been exceptional, and the astrological configuration that corresponded to dramatic events in 2010 and 2011 has dissolved. I’m talking about the cardinal T-square, of course, which reached its peak in July and August of 2010 and then repeated on and off through last spring. Many of us completely…

Image of Aquarius ?
25 Jan 2012 | 8:45 amThe photograph below is among my husband's collection of vintage and antique photographs. (See Lost Gallery). I liked it at once - it's unintentionally (?) arty as well as being an unintentional representation of the two sides of zodiac sign Aquarius. Note that I say zodiac sign Aquarius - not "an Aquarian".Aquarius has two planetary rulers: Saturn traditionally, and Uranus in modern astrology. -

Mitt Romney
20 Jan 2012 | 5:16 amMitt Romney is fast emerging as the favourite nominee for Republican candidate in the 2021 Presidential election. Born in 12.3.1947 at 09.51 in Detroit, MI, his chart shows a lot of red and blue aspects, with just about enough green to deter him from veering into a very on/off, either/or motivation towards life.The chart image, which can give insights into the person's inner life and motivation, is reminiscent of scaffolding poles around a building and brings to mind ideas of construction, or work in progress as the disconnected aspects seek to complete something and make it whole.The… -

His best-selling book A Brief History of Time is widely known but maybe not so widely read to the end; apparently many people can't understand it. But he is perhaps known equally well for suffering with motor-neurone disease, and for surviving this debilitating disease against the odds for the past 50 years.Hawking's chart appears as a mass of triangular aspect… -
Uranus square Pluto - Clash of the Titans?
28 Dec 2011 | 10:47 amIn Greek mythology, the Titans were a race of powerful deities, descendants of Gaia and Uranus, and they ruled during the legendary Golden Age. The Titans were eventually overthrown by a race of younger gods, the Olympians.As many readers will know, 2012 marks the start of an intense and prolonged period of activity between outer planets Uranus and Pluto. For the next 5 years they will be 90 degrees apart, forming no less than 7 square aspects which will sometimes be tight and close, and at others slightly looser and more relaxed (but only slightly). Square aspects (shown in red in… -

5 Dec 2011 | 2:59 pmAries21st March – 20th AprilThere’s potential for big transformation around work and career this month; planetary movement right from the start of December symbolises deep dynamics that push emotional buttons you forgot you had. It’s all good though (especially around the 5th) because it’s that strong emotional focus that motivates you to clear your path forward. Around the lunar eclipse on the 10th there’s sudden movement forward from you, in a way that might surprise you, and the new moon on the 24th points to change that’s a bumpy kind of ride, but with shock absorbers that are… -
November horoscopes
4 Nov 2011 | 3:09 pmAries21st March – 20th AprilA lovely extended aspect between Venus and Mercury for the first half of November (especially around the 3rd) means anything related to travel or education turns into a truly beautiful adventure; again around 25th when new moon eclipse indicates new adventures to come, maybe with echoes of the past. Ruler Mars moves into problem-solving mode from the 11th, and gets at ‘to do’ lists with gusto. There’s also strong focus on cash and career, including around the 18th, a rare line-up of planets moving practical and productive energy between these areas of your… -
October Horoscopes
3 Oct 2011 | 1:07 pmAries21st March – 20th AprilThe month opens with a leap of faith for you. It’s easy to overstretch at this time though, so look before you leap. The full moon on the 12th is in your sign, which means relationships are at the forefront of your mind more than ever, and it’s all about balancing priorities. The sun moves into your angle of trust and sharing from the 23rd and a new moon here on the 26th sheds light on how much you are willing to share of yourself with others. It’s all about trust versus control of the unknown; emotionally and financially.Taurus21st April – 21st MayTry… -
Horoscopes for September
1 Sep 2011 | 2:22 amAries 21st March – 20th April Your ruler Mars moves into the most creative angle of your chart from the 19th; it’s all about what makes your heart sing, so follow your bliss and the entertainment value of that. Interesting month relationship-wise; there’s a cosy comfort zone feel around the 10th, but 17th speaks of sudden moves and unpredictability; both extremes seem to feed events around new moon time on the 27th, which is very much about you and your partner balancing new priorities. It’s also big for work at that time too; perhaps a bit of an overhaul going on somehow somewhere.

Karen Carpenter Astrology Chart
20 Jan 2012 | 7:57 pmKaren Carpenter – drummer, angelic singer, tiny, anorexic, with a longevity that many celebrities long for. She was born in New Haven Connecticut at 11:45am on Thursday March 2 1950. Uranus on the Ascendent? I think she really wanted to be a girl drummer doing the “exotic beats” that she was known for playing when a very young girl. Mars conjunct South Node in the 5th house brings neediness to romance, falling on partners (Libra) to fulfill oneself. The North Node in Aries insists on standing alone, leading and innovating in a solo way. If she hadn’t passed on… -

Neptune Into Pisces: Enchantment Or Sorcery?
25 Jan 2012 | 1:43 pmHow will we discern the difference between the realm of true enchantment, the kind of magical experience that uplifts and inspires the soul, and the realm of sorcery, which can equally enchant us through the dark arts of seductive glamour and beguiling deception?

Horary lesson: what does Jupiter in Taurus mean?
2 Jun 2011 | 9:21 amA student of horary asks, “I am still learning about dignities and wonder what are your thoughts on Jupiter moving to Taurus for a year for all the horary charts we will cast. I thought it would be good for art and romance but seems no? How can we positively use this placement?” Good question. Can we say anything general about Jupiter in Taurus that will be true in all horary charts? The answer is, sort of. In truth, no planet/sign pairing means the same thing in absolutely all charts. This is true for horary, for natal, and for every other branch of astrology. What we can do is tally up… -
Horary astrology: Will our finances improve?
27 May 2011 | 4:19 amA reader gave me permission to post her horary question and my response here. She asks, “My husband and I have struggled financially for so long and I was wondering if our financial circumstances would be improving in the near future. We count our blessings every day, but the stress over finances does take a toll.” Follow along as I look at this horary chart. 22 May 2011, 7:50 pm EDT, Arlington, MA USA Where do we start? Let’s start with the 2nd house and its ruler. The 1st house and its ruler, Mars*, represent “us,” the querent and her husband; “our money” is 2nd house… -
Horary astrology: Will I lose my job?
21 May 2011 | 10:12 amThe querent is worried about layoff rumors at work. He asked, “Will I lose my job in the next few months?” Following John Frawley’s instructions in The Horary Textbook, I’m looking for signs of stability (he keeps the job) or change (he loses it). 19 May 2011, 8:42pm EDT, Arlington, MA USA First, what signs are the angles in? All mutable signs. Fixed signs on the angles would have given some desired stability; mutable signs can be about vacillation, repetition, or the breakdown of what’s come before. So that’s one indication of impending change. What are his significators doing? -
Lost object horary astrology: where are my earbuds?
11 May 2011 | 6:18 amThis is a funny lost object horary because I did actually get some of my property back almost immediately, and then the rest turned up more than a week later. I bought six sets of earbuds on sale before Christmas. It was a very good sale, and I thought I might use them for stocking stuffers (i.e. small gifts). (That didn’t happen. I kept them.) I gave one set to my husband, attached a second set to my iPod, and took a third set to the office. The other three sets, still in their packaging, were in a box on a bookshelf in our guest room. When I broke one set, I started looking for the other…

A Question of Degree
27 Jan 2012 | 4:20 pmThe 29th degee with the 0 degree. Photo from http://www.divinedolphin.com/ I don’t know much about degrees. I know very little. I have heard of and read about critical and anaretic degrees but that’s all. It was a comment my friend Carl Karas made on my one of my Facebook statues recently that got me thinking about them. He mentioned how wistful I sound and he referred to my anaretic degrees. I have Mars at 29 50’ Taurus and Uranus at 28 59’ Libra. :: sotto voce:: I want to whine about this quinqunx but I’ll leave that out for now. So anyways, what Carl said got me thinking about… -
Before Synastry: A Very Basic Look at Charts

Because I’m awfully lucky, I have a copy of Richard Idemon’s Through the Looking Glass: A Search for the Self in the Mirror of Relationships. The book is a transcript of a week-long seminar that Richard did and it has been edited into a book by another person I love to read, Howard Sasportas. In fact, it is the transcripts of seminars that Howard Sasportas and Liz Greene did that I really love more than the books either one of them wrote individually. Astrologers, all three of them, but also… -
On Love
16 Jan 2012 | 1:23 pmVenus is going through my twelfth; and we’ve all just come out of its conjunction to Neptune and Chiron. It’s still in Pisces, the sign of its exaltation. The sign of surrender, of dissolving of the self into the infinite void. I don’t know what Venus in Pisces is really like, but I have been thinking about love and here’s what I wrote while she drifts in my twelfth, while she drifts through the sign of the Fish: Love cannot be forced, manipulated or extracted. Do any of that and you kill the magic, you break the fragile bubble that is love. It flows freely and picks its own… -
A Small Scorpio Journey
2 Nov 2011 | 4:55 pmBeloved Dotty (Pic by Ria Ray) I’m in a little village at the foothills of the Himalayas right now. I cannot tell you how lovely it is here. The mountains radiate calm and serenity. The air is clean and perfumed. The pine trees are tall, dark and perfect. I’ve been here for about two weeks and all I’ve done is brood over death and loss and decay. The new moon in Scorpio was in my eighth and the themes of this sign and house permeated this time for me. Perhaps not surprisingly because we came here to visit family and found illness, old age, a wounded beloved dog and vandalism to the… -
Here Comes the Sun
30 Jul 2011 | 1:06 pmI am the Sun. It is the heat generated in my core that makes all life possible. It is my light that makes this world and other worlds visible to you. I am all pervasive, visible to all; and even the blind who do not have sight feel my warmth on their face. When my heart collapses and my end comes, so will yours: my death is your death. I burn with a splendid fire and my power is so strong that planets pay their homage to me by spinning around me. I need no borrowed power, the energies of creation burn within me. I need no borrowed light, I am the light. It is no coincidence that the Sun is…

The Lunar Home and Garden ~ Jan 30 – Feb 4 2012
26 Jan 2012 | 5:46 pmImage by harshanm via Flickr The Moon merely flirts with Aries in the wee Monday morning hours of the 30th and then calmly moves into Taurus bringing us a stabilizing force to start our week. The mood is supported by a happy and optimistic conjunction to Jupiter. The week ends with Neptune’s gentle entry into Pisces where it will stay for the next fourteen years. Plenty of time to make dreams come true. That’s the Moon, Venus and Jupiter in the pic. It even looks comfy.

Readers Ask ~ Thinking Outside Saturn’s Rings
26 Jan 2012 | 6:25 amImage via Wikipedia I recently asked readers to submit questions about Saturn in Libra and the upcoming “think it over” retrograde period I wrote about in this post. I think some of you will identify with these questions concerning Saturn Returns, the feelings of restriction that Saturn brings, and the Saturn/Neptune conjunction of the 50′s that has been activated by Saturn’s passage through Libra. The Devil’s Finger is a two card reading using the tarot Devil and one card from The Victorian Flower Oracle based on the drawings of JJ Granville. There’s something very… -
Aquarius ~ The Friend of the Zodiac
23 Jan 2012 | 6:58 amRemember, George: no man is a failure who has friends. ~ It’s a Wonderful Life Aquarius has earned the reputation of being the friend of the zodiac because of its concern for humanity in general, even though it might be a tough nut to crack when it gets right down to being your good close friend. Sometimes that don’t get too-close, let’s keep it cerebral attitude (otherwise known as detachment) can keep Aquarius from warming up. There’s a lot at stake in warming up ~ you have to invite vulnerability and closeness into your life. Aquarius is the natural ruler of the… -
Saturn ~ Thinking Outside the Rings
21 Jan 2012 | 5:46 pmOur good friend Saturn will soon be turning retrograde at 29° Libra and back peddling through the sign of balanced effort from February 8th through June 25th. He’ll trace his steps back to 22.46° Libra before turning direct again. A few months of “think it over” are looming large. Saturn represents structure and limitation. We can think of Saturn’s rings as the boundaries he uses to protect us. They are fences built not to keep us in, but to keep the seemingly dangerous and harmful out. The closer those rings are to the planet, the smaller our world becomes. In order to… -
The Lunar Home and Garden ~ January 23-29, 2012
20 Jan 2012 | 8:37 amWe greet Monday with a New Moon in Aquarius on January 23rd. Aquarius is the sign of the friend making the next four weeks good for socializing with your best friends or networking with your civic organizations. To increase your circle of friends, spend some time with someone you’d like to know better before the Full Moon on February 7 or invite them to join your group. If there’s a friendship you’d like to end, wait until after the Full Moon to end it gracefully. January 23rd is also Chinese New Year. Instead of January 1, the Chinese New Year is based on a lunar calendar with…

“The Answer Lies Within Ourselves Whispers the 18 Virgo 13 Full Moon on March 8th 2012”
22 Jan 2012 | 5:18 pmThe winter doldrums are beginning to fade as the first signs of spring are in the air, with expectations and hopes that new answers and new visions will be forthcoming to help solve new and reoccurring situations. As we continue to ask, seek, and search for solutions for problems that seem to have staying power with subtle annoyances making their presence felt. The 18 Virgo 13 Full Moon on March 8th 2012 at 1:41 am PST is whispering to us that the answer lies within ourselves. We have handed over the handling of the financial downturn to others in high places because we thought they had… -
“Action in Place of Reaction Gives us the Advantage during Mercury Retrograde March 11th 2012”
15 Jan 2012 | 5:23 pmAs the dark winter days continue to dim, making way for the first signs that spring is in the air, about a week before the vernal equinox the first Mercury Retrograde of 2012 begins on March 12th at 6 Aries 48, which appears on the horizon until April 4th at 23 Pisces 52. This retrograde is telling us to take action in place of reacting to any situation for our advantage, if we are to get through this period of time with flying colors. A Retrograde period is when caution, carefulness and retrospection is a necessity to avoid glitches, personal misunderstanding, flawed, disrupted,… -

Our feelings and plans for the year are gaining a momentum all its own. Within this sense of excitement and energy the 2 Pisces 42 New Moon at 2:35 pm PST on February 21st 2012 makes its appearance nudging us to grasp and to comprehend our hidden beliefs, our hidden secrets and our hidden mysteries that lie dormant in our consciousness and our sub consciousness for our benefit and use, no matter how… -
“The Choice and the Order of the Astrological Keywords Determines the Clarity”
1 Jan 2012 | 5:54 pmI have many fond memories of the hours I have spent in class instruction from a person who looked more like she should be teaching cooking on television, instead of astrology. As with trying to be a good cook, one always needs to have the basic knowledge and skills of the kitchen, before venturing further if one is to be competent enough to complete a meal that one might enjoy and feel satisfied with. One of the basics my teacher emphasized was the importance of keywords in delineating any chart. Keywords and our ability to work and to combine them are the fundamental rudiments needed… -
“Empathy Versus Sympathy Spotlights the 18 Leo 32 Snowy Full Moon on Feb 7th 2012”
26 Dec 2011 | 6:34 pmI have always thought the full moon is infinitely more interesting than the new moon with its never-ending number of possibilities one can participate in, because of the dynamics of the opposition of the lights fighting for one’s attention. It is like seeing the glass half full or half empty when one is reevaluating and rethinking about the accomplishments we have accumulated from our decisions we have made during our sojourn in this life. It depends on the situation and the condition of how we see and interpret the circumstances, which determines how we view the contents of the…

Mars Retrograde: Keep it Simple
23 Jan 2012 | 10:58 pmWe are all motivated by different desires. No matter what they may be, Mars plays a large role in how, when, and why we pursue those desires, whether it's fast and furious or slow and steady, whether we are pursuing happiness, security, or success. Mars stationed retrograde at 23 degrees and 5 minute of Virgo on January 23rd. A good way to begin to understand the meaning of any planet going retrograde is to run the gamut of re words. For instance, when Mercury retrogrades we're asked to reconsider. When Venus retrogrades, we are often given the opportunity to reacquaint… -
A Page From an Astrologer's Diary: Progressed Moon Enters the First House
30 May 2011 | 3:55 amAn astrologer is always experiencing life on a couple of dimensions (pun intended!) On one hand, they're engaged in whatever is going on in their life at the moment like everyone else, and at the same time, they're wondering what this current event has to do with Mars trining their Midheaven or Pluto squaring their Ascendant. The good and humble astrologer is always taking notes from their life and the lives around them to see astrology in real life action, outside of the key words and fixed descriptions of what a certain astrological event is supposed to produce. Sometimes it takes a… -
Mercury Retrograde, Schmetrograde
30 Mar 2011 | 12:20 pmAll the astrological heavenly bodies periodically go retrograde except for the sun and the moon. If you were to observe a planet in its orbit across the night sky this week, you would see Mercury seeming to slow down, stop (station), and start going in a backward direction (retrograde). Of course, Mercury is not literally going backward in its orbit, but it appears to us to be doing so. Mercury appears to go backward a few times a year for about 3 weeks at a time, give or take. The 'shadow' period of a retrograde planet encompasses the retrograde period and then some. The shadow period is the… -

Mars Retrograde
13 Jan 2012 | 8:38 pmMars stations retrograde on the 23rd of January 2012 18 hours after the bold and brave January New Moon. Mars will traverse up and down 3 – 23 degrees Virgo and will spend roughly 10 days on a degree while it stations These degrees will become highly sensitized. My take on Mars retrograde is as usual different from most Astrologers. The retrograde effect is an illusion, but the fact that it aspects one degree 3 times is very real. Just as I said for Mercury retrograde, I believe this period gives us a chance to look at things from a right-brain perspective. The effect is cyclical not… -

27 Jan 2012 | 11:48 amMeryl Streep inhabiting Margaret ThatcherMeryl Streep's impersonation of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady is almost frightening in its accuracy, believability, naturalness and depth.How did Streep dig down and find that character and then make her live so vividly on the screen?Now some film stars are wonderful just being themselves - Clint Eastwood, say, or even Jeff Bridges. They find the character in another aspect of themselves. Meryl Streep is not like that. She transforms herself. She actually seems to become another person. It's more than mimicry. I felt almost… -

Unpacking My Library: A Lover's Discourse
24 Jan 2012 | 6:13 am“Am I in love? - Yes, since I'm waiting." The other never waits. Sometimes I want to play the part of the one who doesn't wait; I try to busy myself elsewhere, to arrive late; but I always lose at this game: whatever I do, I find myself there, with nothing to do, punctual, even ahead of time. The lover's fatal identity is precisely: I am the one who waits.” – Roland Barthes. A Lover's Discourse: FragmentsVenus with a Mirror by an unknown Renaissance artist. If you have ever been heartbroken, here is a book for you.I'm still brushing off dust, thumbing through old pages and… -
What Astrologers Are Saying About Mars Retrograde
23 Jan 2012 | 7:05 amSandro Botticelli's painting depicts exactly what will be happening in the skies at the beginning of February when Venus opposes sleeping Mars.Mars the planet of action aggression and war is about to go retrograde in the sign of skill, precision and organisation, Virgo. As you doubtless know, Mars has been in Virgo since December, so we may all already have a bit of a feel of what that means.Where Mars transits your chart, you are most likely to have real action in your life. For example, Mars in the second house would indicate that money is either coming in or going out faster than usual. -
Unpacking My Library: The Confessions
20 Jan 2012 | 7:41 amBascove: Reading in BedI found myself yesterday, rather to my own surprise, urging a client to read The Confessions by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a book which was written more than 250 years ago and which I last read about 350 years ago.This is how it begins and I think you can read a Uranian sense of uniqueness in these words: I have entered upon a performance which is without example, whose accomplishment will have no imitator. I mean to present my fellow-mortals with a man in all the integrity of nature; and this man shall be myself. I know my heart, and have studied mankind; I am…

New Moon in Aquarius, Mars retrograde: Clearing the Air
22 Jan 2012 | 7:05 pmby April Elliott Kent My friend Alice called me late last Friday afternoon. “I thought you’d be on your way to Happy Hour,” I said; it was her usual Friday post-work ritual to go for drinks with her co-workers. “Nah,” she said. “Ramona will be there.” Alice and Ramona had once been close friends, but the relationship soured when they became rivals for a coveted sales position in their company. In a twist that proved fortuitous for Ramona, Alice had been reprimanded (falsely, she insisted) for making a costly mistake. The sales position went to Ramona. -
The Rising Planet: Your “First Responder”
11 Jan 2012 | 2:27 pmby April Elliott Kent Confession: “No” is my first response to most new, unfamiliar, or spontaneous situations or suggestions. If the suggestion is, “April, please have some more Cheetos” – a snack I’ve enjoyed with regularity and satisfaction since birth – my reaction would be an enthusiastic “Sure!” But if the suggestion is something like, “Hey, let’s go to lunch and hit the zoo together tomorrow,” my knee-jerk reaction, even if (and this is key) I like both you and going to the zoo, not to mention lunch, will probably be “No, thanks.” Why is… -
Full Moon in Cancer: Can Hard Times Make Us Whole?
5 Jan 2012 | 9:35 pmby April Elliott Kent It’s been a chilly holiday season here in San Diego. Not when compared to anyplace with real weather, of course, but the discomfort is real enough to us. Cold is a relative thing, and when a place that seldom sees daytime highs below 65 degrees experiences a string of days in the 50s, folks around here get a little testy. Of course, we’re testy – scared, really – about a lot of things, not just the cold snap. Just as the real estate bubble of recent years inflated home values in Southern California to the point of morbid obesity, the popping of that… -
It Is Summer There
21 Dec 2011 | 1:30 pmIt is Summer There. by April Elliott Kent My husband was born in the southern hemisphere, and the fact that their seasons are opposite ours has always fascinated me – stories of Christmas spent at the beach, for instance, as we might celebrate our major summer holiday, Independence Day. Pondering this seasonal quandary, I once asked him whether January was called winter or summer in New Zealand; it seemed like an intriguing question until it flew out of my mouth and immediately hit the pavement like a dodo, finding out the hard way that it’s a flightless bird. And extinct. -
Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Gemini: Beyond Words
8 Dec 2011 | 2:00 pmby April Elliott Kent In Gemini, the Moon finds comfort in language – in the reassuring hum of parents’ voices down the hall as their children fall asleep; in the soothing mantra, the dog’s welcoming bark, delighted laughter, a favorite poem. Even, when the time comes, in the sensitive eulogy for a loved one, delivered by someone with keen powers of observation and a lyrical tongue. Eclipses of the Moon reveal unconscious processes that we take for granted. Most of us can happily assume that when we open our mouths to speak, intelligible sounds will emerge. That if we want…

Mars Retrograde
24 Jan 2012 | 4:10 pmMars now appears to be in backward motion from the Earth’s perspective. The energy affects us when it comes to desire, action, the use of will, self-assertion/-defense, and standing up for ourselves. This is in play from today to mid-April, when it stations direct at 3 Virgo 41. How and why you do what you do is up for review. Your normal impetus to act might feel a bit stalled now and if so, take it as a cue to let your energy field get reset about how things get and why you do them. Why you choose what you do is part of this so let any indecision open the door in your awareness to see… -
Free Conference Call, January 28th: Rethinking Responsibility

Each of these astrological events asks us to consider what responsibility is and we now have the opportunity to evolve consciousness by opening up to a bird’s-eye view on the topic.

Karmic Profile of a Birthday Boy: David Bowie
8 Jan 2012 | 12:37 pmIt’s a birthday profile – January 8 1947, 9:15 AM, Brixton England (rated AA). David Bowie has his South Node (SN) in Sagittarius in the 10th house, conjunct Juno in the same sign and house. It’s also conjunct Venus in Sagittarius in the 9th. Conjunct the North Node (NN) is retrograde Uranus in Gemini/4th. The SN ruler Jupiter is in Scorpio/9th, sextile Sun-Mars, square retro Pluto in Leo/7th, and inconjunct that Uranus. Uranus is actually the finger of a yod, too. The SN in the 10th suggests that in his various lives, he’s defined by what he does for a living, or who… -
Resolutions: What, Why, and How
30 Dec 2011 | 12:34 pmOur whole lives we’ve heard others make resolutions. Many of us have grown up to be the kind of people who make them. They are a deeply-rooted part of our experience in Western cultures. Get fit, stop smoking, lose weight, swear less, eat better stop doing this or that – our lists of resolutions seem to never end. There is always something about ourselves that we’re pretty clear needs to be changed. We’re professionals at judging ourselves, actually. The thing we do best is observing the vast gap between how we should be and how we in fact are. Many resolutions center… -
Jupiter Stations Direct Tomorrow
24 Dec 2011 | 9:09 pmAs this happening tomorrow is in Taurus, where Jupiter is transiting your chart is a place where you need to slow down. Jupiter’s energy naturally is that of expansion and growth, but when it stations (appears from the Earth’s perspective to be stopping) these elements of life can seem a bit stalled. You can keep trying to get something done or you can allow yourself to feel into the energies of the moment and allow yourself to slow down. The new moon in Capricorn this morning was trine this very slow Jupiter, so taking time to allow what’s truly important to be recognized…

Cosmic Dirt Horoscope, January 28, 2012
27 Jan 2012 | 6:11 pmDark shadows begin to rise this morning as Luna shifts to square demanding Pluto. Self-control is ours when we keep our ground and step away from the pre-determined disagreement. Fiery vibrations from today’s Aries Moon increases our inner passion to react and fight for a cause. Do not assume that everyone has the exact same fight as ourselves. Use energy wisely to create something positively amazing. By afternoon, friendly negotiations improves the day as Mercury sextiles original thinker Uranus. Maintaining a gentle and free-flowing approach will encourage the winds of change to be in… -
Cosmic Dirt Horoscope, January 27, 2012, Mind Wide Open, Mercury enters Aquarius
26 Jan 2012 | 6:16 pmWorn-out ways will hinder only our growth as communication expert Mercury squares grumpy Saturn. We need to stay open-minded today, or we can appear hard-headed and resistant to change. Like the old saying ‘my way, or the highway’. Stubbornness only proves we are unwilling to be flexible and meet others halfway. As Saturn transits Libra, our professional, personal and romantic relationships will be influenced. Venus, the ruler of Libra, is in compassionate Pisces. We should stay grounded and aware of our realistic responsibilities to others, but be willing to listen to other… -
Cosmic Dirt Horoscope, January 26, 2012
25 Jan 2012 | 5:00 pmThe healing waters of the Pisces Moon continues to stream, soothing us with inner compassion. We are encouraged to release and forgive, so that we may fill ourselves with love. We crave for beauty and magic to fill our soul as Luna conjuncts Venus, but her opposition with Mars retrograde could create frustration when a dream is put on the back burner. Remember to release, to fill with love. “There are four questions of value in life… What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love.” Don Juan… -
Cosmic Dirt Horoscope, January 25, 2012
24 Jan 2012 | 6:30 pmIn the wee hours of the morning, Luna slides into the comforting arms of Pisces. We crave an escape plan in order to disappear from a cold, cruel world of harsh realities and responsibilities. As Moon sextiles expanding Jupiter and magical Pluto, our imagination becomes flooded with plentiful dreams that fantasize of greener pastures. This woozy energy is favorable for fictional writers, artists, musicians, creative pursuits, poets, intuitives, and healers. Sleep should be filled with enchanting dreams of potent messages. Keep a dream journal nearby to log details. “You can’t teach… -
Cosmic Dirt Horoscope, January 24, 2012
23 Jan 2012 | 8:19 pmThe cosmic weather is less active today, but the energy from yesterday’s New Moon continues to slowly grow strength. This powerful cycle enhances our intentions to ‘become’. Use time wisely with the Mars retrograde. Step back from making major moves at this time, to clean up where we became sloppy and disorganized in our life, work, and relationships. Today’s Aquarian encourages us to find a solution by experiencing the whole picture. “Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man … living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every…

Two things that are important to notice: 1) Astrology gives you the ability to quickly "cut to the chase" with a thumbnail description of the personality. 2) They used that special camera on me that added ten pounds to my chin and neck, but not anyone else's.

Astrology, Bad Transits, And Avoiding The One-Eyed Pomeranian Of Fate
9 Jan 2012 | 5:11 pmAstrology works. Objectivity though? That's the hard part. I don't look at my own personal transits every day. As a matter of fact, I do it about as often as I get around to shaving... which, being a self-employed work-at-home type with naturally slovenly tendencies, isn't as often as it should be. But it does happen, and when it does I freely admit to suffering the same flaw that any other astrologer will admit to (if they are human and honest about it): it's pretty damned hard to be objective about yourself. Or, as I used to tell my students on the subject: "Even the world's best surgeon…

Many of you know that I have been posting on the Beliefnet website for several years, but the growing volume of advertisements and the complaints from my readers caused me to offer an alternative with this mirror site.

New Moon in Aquarius, January 22-23, 2012
21 Jan 2012 | 10:07 amThe Sun and the Moon will unite in Aquarius at 2:39 am on January 23rd (Eastern) or 7:39 am GMT. We call this the New Moon but it is technically the “dark” of the Moon – not even a sliver of the lunar light is reflected by the Sun. The New Moon marks the beginning of the new lunar cycle, and it provides an energetic boost to us as well. Each month we have a New Moon in a different sign, and the New Moon falls in a different house in our natal chart. This offers us an opportunity to begin anew with a fresh slate and a clean vision. The symbol for Aquarius is called the… -
Film review: Five Star Day and the Solar Return
20 Jan 2012 | 7:48 amOur friend John Townley has posted a review of the film Five Star Day which was released in 2011 but comes out on DVD next month: The premise is simple: protagonist Jake Gibson (Cam Gigandet, Christina Aguilera’s love interest in Burlesque) reads his newspaper Sun-sign horoscope which tells him he’s going to have a wonderful birthday – love, money, career outlooks all superb – and then proceeds to have the most disastrous day of his young life on all three fronts. Confusing destiny and predetermination, and infuriated that he has been somehow deceived by the ancient art itself, he… -
The astrology of SOPA
18 Jan 2012 | 7:02 amSOPA is the Stop Online Piracy Act currently under discussion in the US House of Representatives. At first glance, stopping online piracy sounds like a good idea. I know that I myself have found plenty of my articles circulating on the Net under someone else’s byline. But when you dig a little deeper into the language of the 75 page bill you find requirements that internet provides monitor the usage of its customers to ensure that rogue sites are not visited, and gives the Justice Department the authority to shut down websites that do not comply.

Sunday inspiration: Working with the Hierophant to create our destiny
15 Jan 2012 | 5:39 amMy friend Beth Owls Daughter writes that 2012 is the Year of the Hierophant according to the Tarot numerology system. The Hierophant in the Tarot is traditionally associated with the Pope as a symbol for religious structures and dogma. The word Hierophant comes from the ancient Greek that means ta hiera,“the holy,” and phainein, ”to show.” In ancient Greece the hierophant was the priest who interpreted the sacred mysteries and served as the bridge between the spiritual experience and the individual worshiper, just as the Pope later took on that role. The word…

An Urgent Post About Saturn in Libra (& Your Personal Saturn Review)
22 Jan 2012 | 2:55 pmSaturn in Libra requires our seriousconsideration over the next few weeks. Mid January, it moved into the finaldegree of Libra, where it will stay until March 3.The final degree of any sign, the 29thdegree, is known as the Anaretic (or Critical) Degree. When a planet is at the Anaretic Degree thereis a sense of urgency and extremism.

Don't Worry, It's Not the End of the World ~ Debunking 2012
12 Jan 2012 | 12:54 pm“The sands of time are running out for the world and not even Indiana Jones can save us now. The astrological alignments and numerological formulae cannot be wrong: on December 21 this year, the apocalypse foretold 5,125 years ago by the ancient Mayans will come to pass and the world will end.”This is a quote from The Daily Mail newspaper, in an article that went on to debunk the 2012 end of day theories. Yes, the Mayan calendar comes to an end, apparently, but this does not mean the end of time. What it does mean is a mystery, but nowhere did the Mayans predict a world ending apocalypse,… -
Say Hello 2012, Wave Goodbye 2011 (and some handy survival tips)
1 Jan 2012 | 11:30 amWishing you all a Happy New Year and I hope you enjoyed the celebrations. Of course, we weren't just saying hello to the New Year, we were letting go of the old year.I celebrated with friends and at midnight, as we stood on the roof of their building watching the fireworks over London, someone shouted, goodbye 2011, you were c**p! Yes, without a doubt, 2011 was a year when many of us were swept up in a tide of change, challenge and difficulty. This was reflected in the symbolism of the planetary alignments, most notably the applying square of radical, impetuous Uranus in… -

20 Dec 2011 | 1:29 pmSeason's Greetings!Continuing Astroair's summary of December's astrological happenings...Love, peace and harmony planet Venus moves into Aquarius, the sign of friendship and teamwork on December 20. This might not be the sexiest or most affectionate placement for Venus, but it's good for getting together with groups of people during this seasonal time, be that your complicated family or your circle of friends.

Is "Sun in Aquarius" a good time to give your pet to a new home, rescue foundation
28 Jan 2012 | 1:41 amI’d been procrastinating but it’s necessary. He’s a slider turtle, raised him since he was tiny and nursed him back from a dog bite when he was young.. We’ve got history! He is pretty attached or fond of me as well, lots of personality for someone who can’t talk.. He didn’t speak to me for months when we relocated once by car, it was strikingly obvious. And really funny since he made friends with the cat, I found them sleeping together and the cat would hiss when I went to approach. Long story short, would it be a good time to say our goodbyes since the Sun is in Aquarius now -

2012 Horoscope Predictions For The 12 Zodiac Signs
30 Dec 2011 | 3:33 amHow do the outer planets transits affect each zodiac sign during 2012 It is important to know that these predictions are drawn based on the general influence of the outer planets on the zodiac signs. To have a more detailed and specific influence it is important to analyze their influence specifically over the natal chart of the individuals.

2012 Astrology Predictions - The Year of Change (4 of 4)
29 Dec 2011 | 2:55 pmThe chart for the moment of 2012’s beginningThe chart for the 2012’s moment of beginning is an amazing configuration that intensifies the influences of the outer planets. The first aspect that is considerably rare is that four out of the five big planets are on the cusp, passing from one sign to another. The position of Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune on the cusp says a lot about 2012. The ability to access the energy of the void manifested by these planets will be the easiest and maybe the only possible way to attract divine grace, even to burn our karma harmoniously, but most… -

Each year, right around the time of your birthday, the Sun returns to the exact position it was in at the moment of your birth.

Mercury sextile Uranus: Thinking Outside the Box
28 Jan 2012 | 4:19 amBy Kelli Fox, The Astrologer Mercury at 1 degree Aquarius forms a sextile to Uranus at 1 degree Aries at 10:27 pm PT. It’s time to take a novel approach to an old problem. Experimental projects, innovative developments and progressive ideas put us much further ahead than staid, static thinking. Stretching the mind toward something new opens up the door to mental inspiration and brilliant solutions. Sharp minds can’t get fooled today; perceptions are too keen and thought processes too speedy. Plus, no one is afraid to speak up, so we may hear from those who don’t ordinarily contribute. -
Mercury square Jupiter: Know-It-All
28 Jan 2012 | 3:32 amBy Kelli Fox, The Astrologer Mercury at 2 degrees Aquarius forms a square to Jupiter at 2 degrees Taurus at 8:08 pm PT. Minds are stimulated now, perhaps even over-stimulated. Boy, do we have some big ideas, and it’s wonderful to entertain such grand plans; but our optimism no doubt exceeds our ability to step up and fulfill them. We think big but we aren’t very practical. We mustn’t ignore pesky details that threaten to topple our grand plan; instead, we should figure out how to incorporate them. Remain open to others’ input, because together you’re more likely to find the answers… -
The Astrologer Daily: January 28th, 2012
28 Jan 2012 | 1:40 amBy Kelli Fox, The Astrologer Feeling a little impulsive? If so, the planets may have something to do with it. The Moon is in impetuous Aries today, inspiring a leap-before-you-look attitude. Additionally, the Sun's tense connection to Mars, Aries' planetary ruler, can cause impatience as well as confusion over how to best assert yourself. If visiting the mall is on your Saturday's to-do list, consider actually making a list of the things you want to buy. If not, you may come home with things you really didn't want or need. Why? Because the line-up of Venus and Mercury to Jupiter could… -

Living Astrologically: When a Pisces, who disowns her Piscean traits, has transiting Moon, Venus and Chiron in Pisces
26 Jan 2012 | 8:29 pmWith my Pisces Sun oppose my Virgo Saturn, I tend to focus on the negative quite heavily. It's not that I completely dislike my Pisces Sun; I like to have compassion, but I don't fancy having my kindness being taken advantage of. I like to be intuitive but I need to be able to take a step back and not get overwhelmed by other people's problems. One important point I have learned from reading tons of New Age books is that you cannot help others if you are unhappy. When I'm confused and unfocused, I can't do anything constructive, hence, for the purpose of… -
Mercury in Aquarius 2012
25 Jan 2012 | 9:37 amHaving been thinking in a practical and prudent way, Mercury is due to leave the reserved and patient sign of Capricorn and enter unpredictable Aquarius from 27th January (18.11 GMT), where it will stay until 13th February.Mercury in Aquarius continues the theme of connecting with the 'group mind'. The New Moon in Aquarius on 23rd January provided the fertile ground to sow seeds of long-range goals, preferably ones with worthy causes, which can benefit the masses. The planetary energies are rather interesting. On the one hand, we have the Aquarian energy, encouraging the… -
Mars in Virgo retrograde 2012
23 Jan 2012 | 7:25 amMars, the planet of action, has been slowing down its pace, getting ready to go in reverse from 24th January and will go direct again on 14th April.On the surface, 'Mars' and 'retrograde' may not seem to go hand in hand. Traditional astrology claims that when this fiery and aggressive planet goes backwards, all actions should be put on hold. However, that may not be practical, with the current retrograde period lasting up to 3 weeks. Personally, I found that any actions executed during a Mars retrograde, which have been carefully researched and thoroughly planned out, can… -
Neptune in Pisces 2012 - 2026
21 Jan 2012 | 11:14 amI was reading the story of 'The Brave Little Tailor' with a student the other day. For those of you unfamiliar with the story, in a nutshell, it is about a tailor who killed 7 flies in one go, and to celebrate his heroic feat, he decided to set off on a journey to tell the world about it. I asked my student if this story was set in modern times, would this Little Tailor need to spread his news by leaving the comfort of his own home? She replied, 'No, he could inform the media and be on television!' I agreed but added that we could also take advantage of the internet… -
Welcoming the Aquarius New Moon, T-Square and all, with open arms
20 Jan 2012 | 10:00 amThis afternoon, I received the shocking news of the demise of a relative. My heart goes out to her family at this time. May you rest in peace.Every time when I hear of such losses, particularly of people I had personally interacted with, however transient, it feels as if the Universe is giving me a hard slap on the face, saying 'Life is too short, ANYTHING can happen. Do what you need to do before it's too late.'Today, even before hearing this piece of sad news, I felt like I was being trapped in a pressure cooker. Well, transiting Mercury is exactly square my Pluto…
