I definitely have anger. I wouldn’t call it “anger issues” – although, its been a little bit lately due to hormones and sleep deprivation, but I am aware of it. I used to date men who were angry and point fingers at them, until Elsa P came along and said HELLO!

So I wonder how do you “integrate” an angry shadow?

Everyone has a dark side, right? I mean are there people who are just so full-blown sweet and adjusted and owning their stuff and never saying a mean word to anyone and fun and nice and kind and wonderful and just no shadow?

I can’t decide. (she has Libra)

I’m curious. Really. Continue reading Ask The Collective: Does Everyone Have A Dark Side?

Today we have Venus in Aries conjunct Uranus in Pisces (detached and fierce and universal) square the Moon in Capricorn conjunct Pluto (heavy, dark energy) square Saturn in Libra (responsibility and reality in relationship).

I woke to an email today that was the epitome of this energy. The gal is acting Venus conjunct Uranus, oblivious to the shadow she casts.

On the drive to New Mexico, I was thinking about Kate (Kate Mulvey Can’t Get A Date And It’s Because Of You!) and trying to fathom her and people like her. People who project their shadow onto others, that is. How do they get that way? Better yet, how do they stay that way?

The Moon is in aspect to Uranus and Pluto today… this hits my natal Moon so I guess it’s just going to be one of those kind of days.

I am grateful to Jorge Torres for his comment on the Shocking But True piece, I guess no one else is going to touch it though I am not sure why.

Mars is exactly opposing the Moon in Scorpio right now and my emotions are agitated!!  I was just telling a pal how hard it seemed to not get roiled up.

We’ve got the planets in Aquarius (including Jupiter and Neptune) aspecting the Moon and Mars so there is a way to transcend, blah, blah, blah, humanity but what do you do with your roiled up emotions them, hmm?

“I ran into, Elsa the other day.”

“Oh yeah? What does she look like? Did she age well?”
