The year kicks off with a what looks like an emotional hangover to me.  Conditions slowly improve for the Cancer Moon as the day progresses but my experience shows that Cancer takes time to calm down after you kick the door to their house in, threaten their security and such.

Outside of that, we have a stellium in Capricorn squared by Saturn. People are serious now, especially about love.

In some cases I work with a client over a number of months or years. In these cases, I get to know the circumstances of their lives to a deeper degree; I better understand their character and they character of the people in their lives.

For example someone may contact me, enraged with their husband but time proves he’s actually a good man and there’s been some mis-communication or something.  Over the months the person may become upset with their husband again and again because it is a pattern in the relationship but I can tell by his responses that shared with me that the woman is dealing with a man who loves her and so the relationship is sustained and things improve. Occasionally I am presented with a true conundrum, like yesterday.

Yesterday, one of my regular clients told me she’d seen another astrologer.  She was gifted a consultation with a man who’d be considered high end in this field. She got nothing out of this and I was not surprised.

I woke up this morning to evidence of yet another person’s obsession with me. I’ve got to tell you, I don’t really get it. I have no idea how someone on the Internet can become so freakishly interested in someone else on the Internet who is so disinterested in them but it surely happens and it sent me into the archives to look for things previously written on, obsession.

I came up with this. I am about 32 in this story...

I once dated a Sagittarius man with a Scorpio Moon. He was a very good example of both Sadge and Scorpio. He was well traveled and he read everything, particularly psych and self help, up to and including Dr. Laura which pretty much floored me.

Dear Elsa,

I was wondering if you had ever done a blog on MARS SQUARE, OPPOSITION OR INCONJUNCT PLUTO? This has been my most interesting find to date in this subject. All the men so far with this aspect are congenital adulterers and the female counterparts have been abused physically and sexually molested in their lives. I know of a few women with these apsects who go through one man after another and never learn to be faithful until late in life..and some never do.

People with planets in the late degrees Cancer fare well today as the Moon, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus in other water signs provide a grand trine to their natal placements.

I think it’s a good night to go out but do be aware that Saturn is squaring Mars so if you’re up to something you shouldn’t be (and many will be), there are better than average odds you’ll be caught.

This is a 2011 topic for the Colosseum but I want to at least flirt with some of this stuff at large, risky as it may be.

It’s my contention that all the fake stuff we thought we saw when Jupiter was conjunct Neptune is going to fall now, or erase. The veil will drop, the backlash will arrive, reality will emerge, etc.

Reality is pretty gross when you look at it in comparison what you can see with your rose-colored classes. But it you compare reality to reality it neutralizes it.
