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 »
The month of May this year is noteworthy because it features not one but two eclipses. Normally, any old regular Full or New Moon would have its usual effects, but an eclipse is like a Full or New Moon on steroids. You can't help but feel the effects somehow, and quite often they make for significant change. And as with so many things in life, you ...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 »
Astrology Dating's Weekend Romance Forecast: April 27-29, 2012 Odds are good that if you know your astrology, or even if you’ve just read this forecast, you’re used to a lot of apologies for what a drag Saturn is. You know the story: “sure it sucks, but it’s for your own good, it lends stru...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 »
Almost every relationship I have seen (including the "Good Ones") have had to deal with jealousy at some point. The truth is that no matter how confident we feel about ourselves or our partner, most of us are still human. (If you are not human but reading this, please write to me, my mother will be sooo happy that she is right about yo...Continue Reading »
You can look up the origins of April Fool's Day all you want -- they aren't true. The real origin of April Fool's Day is that one day, a long time ago, someone (probably a Capricorn) did something to hold an Aries back from what he wanted, and the Aries was filled with rage -- until that probably-Capricorn shouted "It's a joke! There's a whole holi...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 »
The transition from Sun in Pisces to Sun in Aries isn't just about "Spring Fever" (because, for one thing, for half the planet it's "Autumn Fever"). It's about going by instinct, feeling, and faith (Pisces) and then loading all that positive spiritual stuff into a shotgun and taking action (Aries). Imagine a group of fluffy bunny rabbits living at ...Continue Reading »
Understanding Venus and what she represents can help in finding “true love” or, some “mischief over the weekend.” When Cupid fires his little arrows he often sits back and has a belly laugh at the confusion of his targets. Everyone is different, but “for every pot there’s a lid,” so allow Venus to bri...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 »
