Remember that old hit from Sonny & Cher, "I Got You Babe"? If you don't, go listen to it now. Then repeat that song in your head all weekend long. This weekend sees all the usual things astrologers like to complain about lately... Mercury retrograde, Saturn square Pluto, and so on... but the big romantic news is Venus trine Neptune. That makes eve...Continue Reading »
"I choose to believe what I was programmed to believe!" -Superstitious Robot, "Futurama" And now, a brief pause from the usual activities at this astrology dating site to discuss Satan and grave-robbing... *** I've often wondered why astrology seems to work as well as it does. According to one viewpoint, it may work so well because astrology is...Continue Reading »
Is that big nasty T-Square still happening? Sure it is. But you don't want to hide under the bed for the next couple of years while it's in effect (off and on). You come to an astrology dating site for dating... not for doom and gloom... and that Venus/Mars conjunction is still happening. Get out there and grab someone to help you forget your woes ...Continue Reading »
This month's Full Moon is an interesting one, and one well worth taking a few minutes to contemplate. Any Full Moon serves to amplify and heighten the prevailing emotional tone, but (in my personal experience -- you won't find this in any of the books) The Full Moon when the Sun is in Virgo is usually one of the most dramatic of the year when it c...Continue Reading »
How do you describe a weekend that sees both an exact Venus/Mars conjunction AND an exact Saturn/Pluto square? "Love In A Time Of War"? "Hold Me, I'm Frightened?" Whatever you want to call it, this weekend provides proof that a lot of life boils down to what signals you're listening to, and what you choose to listen to. You could spend your time gr...Continue Reading »

A lot of tensions are building, and for many it feels like something ugly is about to burst forth. Fortunately... there are ways to deal with these tensions. One way is to simply understand them. Anoth...Continue Reading »
The tension appears to have settled down a bit since last weekend. Mars is no longer fueling the Big T-Square, although it's still in square range of Pluto. The big news is that the Sun is rolling into opposition range of Neptune. Now, normally that wouldn't be huge news... Sun opposite Neptune has sort of an Ego-dissolving function going for it, a...Continue Reading »
"I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And now I recommend you to go home and sleep quietly in your beds." -Neville Chamberlain, 30 September 1938 "Let's spend next year's vacation in Warsaw, Eva. I hear it's beautiful in the autumn." -Adolph Hitler to his girlfriend, later that evening Since May thi...Continue Reading »
Forget for a moment that whole Mars-Saturn/Jupiter-Uranus opposition thing that's still going on. This weekend Venus is joining the party. True, it's kind of a nasty, bitter, feuding kind of party... but Venus is strong in her own sign, and her charms sometimes have a way of settling things down when reason and effort alone haven't done the trick. ...Continue Reading »
Mars is currently passing through Libra, where it will be until mid-September. Most old-school astrological references make Mars in Libra sound like the last kid picked for the dodgeball team: kind of withdrawn, lacking assertiveness, and uncertain of itself. This, like any 25-words-or-less sketch of a planetary placement, holds some truth yet larg...Continue Reading »
