Mars/Pluto & Us Scorpio Types

It may be the Neptune fog I’ve been in lately but until Pat Paquette, The Pisces Chronicles, reminded me once again, it had slipped my mind how directly this Mars/Pluto opposition cycle was affecting me. I have a strong Scorpio Rising with Mars/Mercury in Scorpio conjunct it – the co-rulers of Scorpio are . . . tah dah, MARS & PLUTO!! Therefore it follows whenever we have Mars and Pluto aspecting each other; I’m going to feel it even if the degrees activated don’t match up to planets and Angles in my chart. But it took this last [...]

Uranus Transits & Mars Rx

Uranus is doing his thing again in my 4th House, inconjunct my Moon. This is a good example why some astrologers use Uranus transits to determine if the birth time is correct because we usually know when they are within a degree of being exact.

So I need to stop and prepare sit down meals for us and have [...]

Mars Rx is here and other notes . . .

Mars officially is now Retrograde in Cancer until the end of January though he’s just been sitting at 12° 27′ Cancer for several days and will stay there through next week. I celebrated this event by unraveling about 6′ of scarf knitted from the hand-spun yarn made this fall, and starting over again. And yes, I’m much happier with the results. Do I think this may be a trend in the general populace? Very possibly but it’s more likely most people will only see the need to re-think a situation after they’ve knocked themselves silly . . .

Emotions Highlighted: Mars in Cancer and Mercury in Scorpio

Mars just moved into the Water Sign of Cancer for an extended stay as he will going Rx in November in that sign. At this time Mercury just moved into Scorpio, another Water Sign, on September 27th and since it will be going Rx here shortly (October 11th-12th), we are being given an opportunity to examine how we REALLY feel about ourselves, our lives, our partners, etc. Mercury in Scorpio is naturally given to diving deeply into anything that catches it’s fancy but is particularly well suited to dumpster diving in the emotional garbage we [...]
