Astrology Today: January 1, 2012 – Surface Aggression
My eye on the sky.
We kick off year 2012 with the Moon in Aries and Mars squaring Mercury. Uranus is also in Aries so there’s quite a bit of aggressive energy out there.
On a deeper level, the Sun conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn and many are in a process of transformation.
When I put these things together, it makes me think that if you’re not living, you’re dying. (nod to Bob Dylan)
Are you busy living or busy dying?

New Year’s Eve Love Forecast
“What? WHAT?? Yeaaaaaah!”
–Dave Chappelle as Lil’ Jon
On the last day of the year the Moon moves from the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces, into the first, Aries. What a perfect metaphor: Out with the old- in with the new. The day starts in an atmosphere of universal connectedness and moves to a mood of fiery action. The mood picks up fire and speed applying into an aspect of ease with Mercury in Sagittarius and an opportunity for the aesthetic charge of humanitarian pleasantry from Venus in Aquarius. In the immortal words of the song used in the animated movie “Madagascar”: I like to move it, move it.

Transit Watch: Full Moon In Cancer – January 9, 2012 – Opportunity To Shore Up Yourself, Your Family As Well As Help Others
My eye on the sky.
The Moon is full at 18 degrees Cancer, early in the morning (US) on January 9th.  The situation is striking in that apart from the opposition to the Sun, the Moon is only aspected by Mars in Virgo whose energy supports the Moon.
As always, the lights come up under a full Moon. When we’re talking about Cancer and Capricorn, this means we get a reality check around our family, security and such. The benign aspects to the Moon suggest that whatever is revealed is not that harsh. Mars in Virgo would be represent a man, available to help.
Things Degrade Rapidly – Uranus Square Pluto – 2012, 2013, 2014
Astrology in real life
Have you ever seen a person or a situation rapidly degrade? It’s stunning isn’t it? The first hit comes and then the next and the next and the next and the next. With Uranus set to square Pluto into 2014 (see introduction and check exact dates), we’re all going to witness this kind of thing. You wake up and seemingly overnight, something is wiped out. It could be your marriage, your town or your good looks. It could be your health but it could also be your fear, your lack of commitment, you name it. Whatever happens, something else happens right behind it. It becomes a chain of events like dominoes falling and you just can’t put it back the way it was.

Astrology Today: December 31, 2011 – Dynamic New Year!

Should you act courageously…or cautiously?
Should you go for the thrill…or should you fortify your defense?

To fare well in these conditions, strive for knowledge and wisdom.

Men Who Avoid Talking To Woman To Avoid Trouble Of All Kinds
Ask the collective.
My husband has come to the conclusion that it’s not possible to speak to women. He says if you say anything to them they get the wrong idea. For example, if a man says anything even remotely nice, the woman will get the idea the man is interested in her.

Mars And Pitching Fits
“She turned me into a NEWT! [pause] Well I got better.”
–Monty Python’s Holy Grail
I was recently asked if I threw things when angry. I used to, but I got over it. I got over it in one day, in fact, the day I had to clean a whole pot of spaghetti off the wall and the floor. In my young womanhood I threw steel-tipped darts, beer bottles and probably other things I don’t remember. I have Scorpio Mars in the third house (Mercury-ruled), quick and dirty action, but it aspects Saturn and I can control myself, if I choose to. To paraphrase a popular liquor ad: I may not always throw things, but when I do, I like to throw them at people’s private parts.
Do you throw things? What’s up with your Mars?
I had a client a few weeks ago, she was telling me how she could read people. She’s worked at a job where she encounters slews of people and she’s honed her ability over many years. I was enthralled. I suppose I read people but nothing at all like what this woman has achieved.
Do you read people? In what way? This woman uses her intellect, I’d say. She glances at you, takes in the info and the computer inside her spits out the answer.
What do you know about this? What’s the astrology?
Astrology Today: December 29-30, 2011 – Mutable T-Square
My eye on the sky.
The Moon in Pisces becomes embroiled in the Mars Mercury conflict and Gemini catches it from all sides. People (and stomachs) will be upset over this.
The Sun is also tightly conjunct Pluto. Learn about the shadow side (Pluto) of the ego (Sun).
As for a spot of ease or a place to go for respite, Saturn in Libra trines Neptune in Aquarius, suggesting the compassion for humanity mixed with healthy boundaries is a strong play.

Brand New Babies And Their Charts
But Mousie, thou art no thy lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best-laid schemes o’ mice an’ men
Gang aft agley.
–Robert Burns
When my youngest was born I didn’t follow astrology yet. My husband was living out of town, starting a new job, so I decided to acquiesce to the doctor’s demand that I be induced. I have a Capricorn Moon and it’s not the easiest placement. Had I understood that then, I would not have induced under a Capricorn Moon. But I did, and my daughter is a GEM… not a Gemini, but a jewel! When we know better, we do better, but I don’t wish things were different. So when my sister’s doctor starting talking about scheduling her for her baby’s induction I was concerned, but not too concerned.
