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 »

The 21st of this month sees an exact Saturn-Pluto square, amplifying the effects of the ongoing Big Scary T-Square in the Cardinal Signs. 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 »

Saturn shimmied his way on over into Libra last week. Lots of people are writing to me freaked that everything is suddenly going to get really rough in their relationships. News flash people - things were already rough. Saturn in Libra is just going to hold us accountable and stop us from pretending everything is okay if its not. Think of it ...Continue Reading »

Earlier this week, Saturn rolled into Libra, and despite all fears and hesitation we all got out of bed and got on with our lives anyway (same thing will happen December 22-23, 2012... just you watch!). The Sun is in early Leo, supported by Jupiter and Uranus in Aries. It looks to be a good weekend for "getting out and doing something," and since ...Continue Reading »

It seems to me that one of astrology's ironies is that the largest planet in our solar system often seems to get ignored... at least, relative to its size. If you read up on what Jupiter rules and how it behaves in a birth chart, you'd think it would be overwhelmingly popular: it rules happiness, good times, good fortune, spiritual activities,...Continue Reading »

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? No, that would be way too easy on you. Summer, at least, will come and it will stay But your disquiet makes me sigh "Oy Vey!" At least "summer" has no expectations And doesn't find new ways to annoy me I forgive your quirks and affectations And compensate for you, you must agree. I'll show my love, and...Continue Reading »

The Moon is in relationship-oriented Libra, then enters sexy Scorpio over the course of the weekend. Sounds like an all-clear for the astrology dating site crowd, doesn't it? It might be... except that with Venus, Mars and Saturn in Virgo, there's just too much thinking going on to get results, in a lot of cases. So, in some ways, the weekend may b...Continue Reading »

So you have written a great profile, posted a nice picture, have read my tips on safety (twice!) and are about to meet your first blind date. Hold on to your hat because the fun is about to begin. You are probably a little nervous but also excited about the opportunity ahead of you.  Yes, I do mean opportunity! Remember, even if the p...Continue Reading »

Dear AstrologyDating.com: Your blogger sent me a copy of his upcoming entry on my passage through Virgo, and decided to take the time to point out a number of issues I have with it. Normally, I wouldn't take the time to write to an astrology dating site (although you know how I love dating... and astrology). However, there were simp...Continue Reading »
