This weekend finds the world coming down from the jolt of Thursday's solar eclipse. Fortunately the moon is in Gemini for most of the weekend, so hopefully some of Gemini's airy intellectualism may help you ride out any pinches or bruises life has handed you lately. Also: Venus has just entered Gemini, and spends this weekend square Neptune. Dreamy...Continue Reading »
Haven't had enough fun lately? Well, you're likely to get your fill this weekend. At least if by "fill" we mean you hitting the buffet or something. Four planets in Taurus make for a lovely sensual time, but it also comes with the hazard of breaking your diet. Given that Mercury is opposite Saturn this weekend as well, you may not just be breaking ...Continue Reading »

Coming down off of a Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse like we just had can be a little like coming down from a binge: there are all sorts of residual aches and pains, but hopefully you learned something from it -- or at least had a good time while it lasted. Sometimes the best way to shake that sort of thing off is to literally shake it.... as in "shake wha...Continue Reading »
Taurus has such a reputation for being nice and cuddly once you get to know them, but perhaps this particular Taurus Season (or at least this weekend) may be better called "The Season Of The Charging Bull." Sun and Venus in Taurus make for lots of warm and fuzzy ideas about cuddling in front of fireplaces and eating fine meals with wine... but with...Continue Reading »
I lost a friend recently. Not a friend I ever actually met -- but a friend nonetheless. Roger Ebert (born June 18, 1942, time unknown, Urbana Illinois) was exactly the kind of guy I always wanted to hang out with. Geminis are a lot like that, in general: fun to talk to and hang out with, and always presenting new ideas and new spins on the old one...Continue Reading »
"Spring" implies not only a season, but a bouncy, twisted piece of metal. Many of you, because of bad relationships or bad voices in your head, have not had a happy and fulfilling love life. But "spring" in the seasonal sense implies new life, and in the metal sense, it implies an ability to bounce back. Either way, a weekend with a Venus-Mars conj...Continue Reading »
Older, more polite astrology texts will tell you that a Venus-Mars conjunction in Aries in the birth chart makes for a "strong social drive." That's largely because, way back when, there was no proper turn for "horndog." let's be honest here: with the conjunction happening this weekend, and the Moon passing through Scorpio and Sagittarius, there's ...Continue Reading »
Happy Aries Season, everyone! For many, all that sexy sweet lounging-around that goes with Pisces was too much of a good thing. This weekend, four planets in Aries are amped up and ready to make something happen. If you rise to the challenge, you'll probably overcome it. If you're waiting for the other party to make that first move... they may or m...Continue Reading »
There is a branch of psychology called Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) that is favored by salesmen and people who are there to talk you into things... including that most disreputable of creatures, the "Pick-Up Artist." You've probably heard about these guys: people who use magical words and phrases and bits of mental trickery to get you into the...Continue Reading »
The Moon makes a run through Aquarius and Pisces this weekend, and "run!" may be what it's feeling: it starts off with a square to Saturn, drifts aimlessly through the rest of Aquarius, then hits a pocket of confusion when it hits Pisces. How is anyone supposed to make romantic sense of that? Good thing that romance isn't really supposed to make se...Continue Reading »
Ever heard the old expression, "there are no atheists in a foxhole"? Whatever you make of how well disbelief endures in the face of impending doom, you've got to admit that having a little faith in Something Or Other can certainly help you get through the day. In a similar vein, there is the ancient wisdom of St. RuPaul Of Dragge: "If you don't lov...Continue Reading »
We've entered Pisces Season, and we're doing so Big Time: four planets in the Sign of the Dreamy Fish is a great opportunity to take all that fuzzy and floaty stuff that Pisces is associated with and build it into something real... a castle in the sky you can actually live in for a while, if you will. Try not to worry too much about that long ongoi...Continue Reading »
"All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day. You had a bad day once. Am I right? I know I am. I can tell. You had a bad day and everything changed." -Alan Moore, Batman: The Killing JokeNot long ago, he was an athlete, an inspiration, and a hero to many. Now Os...Continue Reading »
