Dear Elsa,

I know. Another sex topic but you can’t say I’m not consistent. Plus Scorpio moon is coming.

What common aspects in our charts would signal meeting a new lover?

All the yearly horoscopes say for Virgo’s this is the year for you to find new love etc. How do they know that? Obviously not everyone in that sign is going to fall in love. So.. it must be certain planets knocking boots with other planets and passing over your chart right?

Dear Stalemate,

I am not sure you will like my read on this because it definitely reflects my bias but  considering you are Sagittarius I know you appreciate other perspectives so here is mine:

I would let this go. I don’t think you can force someone to learn something or have an interest in something they don’t have an interest in. For example, I always wind up with engineers… people like math and like it a lot. My first husband actually stalked me with a math book. He followed me around the house with the book cracked open, he just wanted to show me how interesting this all was and when he wouldn’t stop, I took off out the front door and headed down the dirt road with 5 planets in Scorpio in pursuit.

If I understand this correctly, it appears the Associated Press is now publishing a horoscope column.

Hard to mistake the trend, don’t you think? Astrology is going mainstream and Elsa P is happy!

In yet another manifestation of the mess in the sky, I am pretty sure I am leaving town tomorrow but I don’t know when or where I am going just yet.

I also have no idea what I am going to do when I get where I am going because come on. How could I when I don’t know where I’ll be getting to or when?

In spite of this I plan to pack here pretty quick and yeah. So far I am keeping my hair.

How about you?

The Sun is in hard aspect to both Uranus and Pluto today and I don’t think he likes it. The Sun wants to shine! How are you supposed to shine when you’re being dragged to the Underworld?

It reminds me of Miss USA being booed in Mexico. Because apparently they were booing her as a form of rebellion (Uranus) and throwing the collective shadow onto her (Pluto) while they were at it. Can you imagine? Train all your life for the contest and this happens?

Meanwhile the Moon in Taurus forms a T-square with the Saturn Neptune opposition while Mercury and Uranus station and of you put this all together what you have is stress.

Days like today I use the Muhammad Ali’s, “Rope a Dope” strategy. I mean what should Miss USA have done? Pulled out her weapon and fought that crowd?

Today is much like yesterday except now the Moon is conjunct Mars in Aries part of a Grant Trine in Fire and it’s just enormously YANG. I imagine this feels stressful to yin types. Anyone sick of Go! Go! Go?

Pisces is especially stressed. These people need a bed day (or week or month) by now and with Uranus in their sign, square ruler Jupiter, they’re not getting it. Saturn opposite modern ruler, Neptune adds further stress. If you run with Pisces now is a good time to show compassion for the compassionate. People can only take so much.

With the Moon and Mars in Aries and the Sun in a T-square with Jupiter and Uranus, people want to be independent today. How you deal with this depends on your own make-up I suppose.

For example if you have a lot of Libra and you want to be “together”, your partner probably doesn’t and it’s not personal to you.

If you have a lot of Cancer and you want to cling, same thing. You are likely to get flung across the room.

But if you’re a Sadge or and Aquarian, or even a Pisces who wants to have a bed day, anyway… you’re in!

Get up, get out, assert yourself. Try something new!

Michael Lutin’s nails it today when he suggests you try to “recognize a miracle when you see one”.

I am sure he is referring to the Moon in Pisces triggering the Sun, Jupiter, Uranus T-Square. There is an opportunity there, rare and extraordinary. I got mine, and intend to exploit it to the hilt. How about you? Have you been offered a chance?

Michael Lutin’s Daily Fix

As long as the Sun, Uranus and Jupiter form a T-square in the mutable people are not going to want to lie around and they certainly don’t want their freedom restricted in anyway. Marlo Thomas’s "Free To Be You And Me" comes to mind and it’s not just in theory. With the hard angles the Sun needs unrestricted (Uranus) and expansive (Jupiter) creative expression, or as as my daughter once said:

“ALL DOGS SHINE OUT!”

And so as long as you keep this in mind and don’t restrict yourself or others, there is tremendous ease out there so go have another great day!

The Moon in Aquarius triggers the Saturn Neptune opposition and people may be plagued with doubts around what they have committed too. Not that it is going to change anything, at least not yet. When this opposition begins to separate towards the end of this month, then we’ll see what is what and who goes where.

Overall though, the sky is fabulous today and I think people will be surprised how well things work out and even if they don’t, people should be able to cope well with what does come up.
