Observations: Mars in Cancer, Mercury Retch & Saturn Thoughts

© Diane Lang

Whew! Mercury stationed retrograde yesterday, Mars entered Cancer in the wee hours and the Moon shifted into Libra. The last I like because Libra Moons usually treat me well but the other two, not so much.

This was one of the tougher lead ups to a Mercury Station I’ve seen in quite awhile and largely due to the opposition to Neptune exact on 28 July. Lots of mental whiteouts made writing difficult so I ended up choosing to do simple, routine tasks like picking berries, mowing the lawn, cleaning house and so on. I [...]

New Moon in Aries, April 3-4, 2011

© Vladimir Ivanov | Dreamstime.com

Every once in awhile we get these six planet pileups in one sign during a New Moon and the New Moon at 13° 30″ Aries on April 3, 2011, 7:33 AM PDT is one of them. There is the Sun and Moon plus Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus in the first sign of the zodiac. Please start to turn down the volume now. Thank you.

Personally I believe the real focus needs to be on Saturn in Libra exactly opposing the New Moon because Saturn is going to be doing the [...]

Observations: Feeling the Aries Love

© Diane Lang

We might as well seek out ways to enjoy living with Aries in the house because from April 1 until May 11, 2011 we will have at least five planets in the first sign of the zodiac. Mars will shift into Aries on April 1 joining the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus . . . that is a LOT of Aries, folks!

Not only will there be an abundance of Aries during that time period, there are even more planets in cardinal signs because Saturn in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn bring the total [...]

Observations: In Praise of Mercury Retrograde

© Diane Lang

My Libra side has been kicking up a fuss lately reminding me there are always two sides to every story and therefore it follows Mercury retrograde offers as many benefits as it does drawbacks. I realize this runs contrary to the prevailing opinion but what the heck, I’m going to throw my thoughts out there anyway!

On an average Mercury spends approximately three weeks moving in reverse, three times a year with a week or so on either side of the dates it stations retrograde and direct when the small planet is moving very slowly. It [...]

Weighing in on the Mercury Retrograde

The most noticeable effect of this particular Mercury retrograde is a lack of focus which may be due to Mercury squaring my natal Neptune along with the ongoing transit of Neptune through my third house. Whatever is going on, I can’t seem to keep two consecutive thoughts going to save my soul!

Getting sidetracked has been the rule rather than the exception around here. For instance, this past week family matters, particularly related to the men in my family, took precedence. That does fit with the general Capricorn theme in the sky right now along with the recent Full [...]
