My upcoming solar return which I know is wicked. I don’t look at it because it’s akin to looking at open heart surgery or something which is not something I’d line up to do having Libra and all. But I am feeling so happy today so I threw the chart up and noticed there was just one trine in a sea of hard aspects on the angles no less. I am not complaining because the sky in general is acute these days and I doubt many of you are much better off.

Last week I walked by a snake in the grass. It startled me but not that much because it’s a familiar symbol. A few days later I walked by another and laughed. It’s the season for this, see? I always see snakes in the grass and I don’t mean, slithering.

Saturn in Virgo is sitting on top the raging inferno that is the Moon, Venus, Mars conjunction in Aries.

Dear Taurean,

I have to tell you to beware!! You realize this man may be married or otherwise committed. In fact, he probably is.

Speaking of the Moon (mothering) conjunct Uranus and opposing Saturn, I ran into something yesterday I hope to convey because it’s just so important… in my opinion. Others may disagree and vehemently but I’ll tell you, this was crushing for me. Crushing and instructive.

Yesterday my son was sent in to meet the lions. Never mind who did it, it happened and by the time I realized what was going on it was too late to stop him unless I were to stop traffic, leap buildings and move heaven and earth. I called the soldier…

When I told this story the first time, someone asked for some astrology on the men and to tell you the truth I don’t know much about them. The first husband was having a Uranus transit, I can tell you that. But it was the women who turned out to be interesting.

For starters this was a big dilemma for me. There is such a thing as confidentiality of course. But I had this idea I should introduce these two women. Because think about it.

Dear Pisces,

I am enormously sorry you find yourself in this painful situation and while ultimately you are the only one who can make the decision what to do about this, I will give you my perspective both personal and astrological.

First, I would not be rash about doing anything because you don’t have good information. From the sound of it, you are right to question the paternity of the baby and even the validity of the pregnancy itself.  So the first thing I’d do is breathe and try to ground.

You state you love your husband and you also state what you can and cannot tolerate. I respect both positions and for what it’s worth, I am pretty I would draw the same lines in the same places. But this leaves you to wait in a very painful place as you wait for the facts to emerge.

Now astrologically, you are headed into your Saturn return and I can tell you that you will not be clear until late summer, 2009. That means you have a long distance to run here but it does not mean you have to stay on this path.

What you want to do is go slow and take your time making decisions, because the decisions you make are going to have long term repercussions and just remember this:  It is not you who is caught here.

In fact, assuming there is a baby… you are the one with all the options so just keep that in mind. This is your life and I strongly urge you to take the path that satisfies your soul. Unfortunately I don’t think this information is going to be apparent short term but ultimately you will get clarity and when you do - Leap!  And once you do, don’t look back, and don’t look down - just go forward because faith is your strongest play.

Much love and good luck.

Dear Aries,

I feel very sorry for you because with 5 planets in Aries all ruled by Mars in Aquarius, I am sure that patience is not a strong suit. However this is the dismal situation for people like you (and I am one of them). We can’t just leave! We think we can and we wish and hope that this is the case but what we find out is you can’t get out until you get out and I can tell you right now if that time had come you would not be asking me what to do, you would already be long gone. This said, it does not mean you have to stay with a man who is sleeping with another woman and if that does not make sense to you, I’ll explain.

You can leave. You can get your own place and you probably should. You can tell him not to contact you until he has come to decision and you should probably do that as well. Just don’t mistake this for being “out” of this relationship because that will not be the case.

You have a long history with this man and you have his baby growing inside your body so you are nowhere near done but yeah. If I were you I would get my own place, take some space for sure. And quit fighting with him while you’re at it. Believe it or not, he will probably miss that… as no one spends 10 years with 5 planets in Aries and doesn’t like the heat.

Good luck.

We have the same situation as yesterday except it’s intensified because the Moon has moved further into Aquarius and now conjoins Venus, Mercury, Chiron, Neptune and the North Node in the sign.

Mars is in closer opposition to Pluto as well but so?

This whole thing is going to break in just a few more days and the way I see it, this is like winter. Couple days from now will be the coldest day but when you’ve been cold for 3 months, who cares? Even a drama queen like me has the sense to detach with this much Uranus / Aquarius energy around.

If you have trouble today, go back for a refresher course of yesterday’s John Prine advice.

Dear Wife,

I would not worry about Mercury retrograde. Sign the lease and get the hell out. Some things trump other things and this is a case of that.

If you want some more astrology for reassurance, there is a sweet little thing called a Jupiter Saturn trine aspecting your Mars and you should have no doubt you are doing the right thing and will be supported by the universe. Your other challenges are also paper tigers, let’s get real (Saturn) about what is true (Jupiter).

A man who assaults women and has an affair a month does not meet some gal at work and transform into Mr. Wonderful. You know who and what he is and she will find out I’m sure. The guy sounds like a sociopath to me and it is not uncommon they be charming.

As for why he wants this other woman, he does not want this other woman, are your kidding? He wants to meet people, mess with them, ruin their lives. and move along. She doesn’t know this yet but you do.

Keep your head, keep your focus. You have your evidence, Virgo - now get out, get out, get out.

Good luck.
