Scorpio casts a long shadow...

Image
A heads up as  Mercury coming into square with Mars means there may be some terse words exchanged over the next few days.  Of course not everyone will respond in this manner… though I must admit I already felt myself becoming irritated today in ways I usually don’t. Usually when I feel this way I discover Mars is involved...and sure enough... it is!  It’s those little irritations that can expand into grudges and resentments. Best nip ‘em in the bud. Let many things pass. Not so easy as Mercury in Scorpio is sharp and wary, and highly distrustful of other’s motives. Plus Mars in Leo can be quite full of himself…. and when opposite Neptune this sense of entitlement can become deceptive and/or passive aggressive.When Mars' fire  feels weakened by Neptune's watery mists... he panics and gets all wily.  At the same time, Jupiter opposite Sun can big up peoples sense of themselves… not a bad thing entirely if it gives you more confidence… yet you can see how all these factors toge

Scorpio New Moon coming up on Wednesday

The current astrological  energy is slowly shifting into Scorpio... the dreaded sign!  As I said in my last post... that reputation is due to Scorpio's association with the powerful forces of death, sex and regeneration.  There is no doubt about it... Scorpio is definitely intense. The symbols for Scorpio are the Eagle and the Scorpion... as well as the Pheonix who dives into the ashes and rises again. The Scorpio sting will make itself known if you hurt or cross them... (they don't forget)... and their penetrating, eagle eye makes you feel like they know your innermost secrets (they are excellent psychologists) as they see and feel far below the surface. Scorpio's ruling planet is Pluto... god of the underworld.  In Hindu philosophy the representative of this energy is Shiva the destroyer. Kali is another powerful Scorpio like figure who is seen holding human bones  and wearing a necklace made of skulls. Life goes in cycles and death and regeneration are a natural pa

Sex and Death and all things taboo: Venus in Scorpio

Image
Venus and Mercury are now in hot and sultry Scorpio. ( soon the Sun will follow) Meanwhile, Jupiter and Mars standing opposite or squared the above will exaggerate their ability to get what they want. The focus of that aspect is Mars in Leo, which like Venus in Scorpio, has no problem asking for what he/she believes she deserves. Hear that Scorpio? … Despite the Saturn Sun conjunction in Libra (relationships) slowing things down…there is still a chance to get laid. Sorry to sound crude but we all know Scorpio’s reputation. I recently was on an Astrology forum at ElsaElsa (sidebar) where people were discussing Scorpio’s fine and not so fine qualities. Someone asked why Scopio has such a bad rep (many people are scared of them) Well duh!… the sign is associated with Death and with Sex… two of the most taboo subjects in our culture. Ok, we all joke about sex and are bombarded with it from every angle in the media… yet when it really comes down to it…(no pun intended) people ra

Showdown coming with Full Moon in Aries

Image
Here comes another Full Moon and it looks like it’s going to be a doozy!  By Tues Oct 11, at 10.am EDT, the Moon will be sitting in feisty fiery Aries exactly opposite both  the Sun and Saturn in Libra. And they are all squared Pluto.  Talk about being between a rock and a hard place! A waxing Moon creates a build up of energy, which peaks as it becomes Full. This current energy is a culmination of what started with the New Moon two weeks ago. If you scroll down to previous posts … I wrote about the balancing act signified by the Autumn Equinox… and the ensuing pressure to maintain that balance that  got rolling with the New Moon in Libra. The Full Moon with Uranus in Aries could be the tipping point. Just as when Mars moved into position in Cancer this summer and immediately riots and chaos hit the UK, the Full Moon in Mars ruled Aries (the warrior) creates a precarious dynamic. Mars squared Jupiter will add fuel to the fire, and Uranus could be the match to gasoline. I truly hope
