you here. "The reading was a partnership between the two of us; she did not simply recite planetary signs and meanings, but had a conversation with me, continually asking what I made of what she saw, and what I thought I could do to change the things I want to change.
When the names of other people in my life came up, she quickly looked up their charts on her computer and commented on their roles in my life -- painting a fuller picture of where I was, where I wanted to go, and how I could get there.
What was impressive was that Elisabeth took all the planets, people, and situations that made up my life and created a context for them all that was positive, hopeful, and exciting!
She has a lovely personality, a sharp wit, and a gift for astrological interpretation."

Alll-righty then!
I have half an hour to kill before boarding a plane back to New York. Let’s see how much we can get accomplished. Getting things done and taking care of business is the name of the game on a this day driven by the Moon in “make it happen” Capricorn. Connect with your inner CEO!
This week we’re feeling the potential bliss of a rare harmony among Venus, Jupiter and Neptune. The technical term is “grand trine.” This ease of connection facilitates and amplifies matters related to women, money, art, social expression, faith, oil, drugs, scandal and most of all — EXPANSION — for better or for worse. For example, there is such a thing as too much water if you happen to be caught in a flood — and floods are a potential with this grand trine involving planets in Water Signs. On the other hand, the Illinois might be feeling so generous towards women and their economic status, that it might finally ratify the Equal Rights Amendment — 95 years after it had the chance to do so. Which it did! Gee, thanks, Illinois. Where were you 36 years ago, when there was a deadline to make this the law of the entire country?
And now, the news.
We talked about Roseanne Barr’s horoscope at the end of March:
Roseanne Barr is all over the news. The revival of her sitcom — Roseanne — has gotten rave reviews, with initial ratings to match. What’s going on in her horoscope? She’s a Scorpio, driven by the Moon in Gemini, needing to be the cleverest, most intensely entertaining gal in the room, even if what comes out of her mouth is boundary-pushing and sloppy. It needs to be with her Gemini Moon opposed by Mercury in Sagittarius. Her Scorpio Sun is currently under the expansive potential of Jupiter— soon to hit the top of her horoscope this fall. This adds to the bigness she needs to express in everything she is, suggested by her natal Jupiter (in comfort-seeking Taurus) opposing her natal Sun. Her Ascendant is Aquarius, suggesting a need to be seen as a humanitarian — if perhaps in a somewhat eccentric, detached way. Militant, explosive, innovative, fanatical and charismatic — an odd mix of the old guard and avant garde — is suggested in a tense pattern among her Mars, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. Those planets have been or will soon be supercharged by transiting Pluto. We see the potential for persuasive action and disruption in the recent past, with a tremendous effort required now through 2019 that may be somewhat angst-driven. We shall see.
Now I confess that when I wrote “somewhat angst-driven,” it was a deliberate understatement. The measurement suggesting more than “somewhat” angst-driven is a challenging connection between transiting Pluto and Saturn, exact on March 8 (just before the launch of her new TV show), and on June 8th (right after her show was cancelled). You did hear that the show was cancelled, yes? Just hours after she compared Valerie Jarrett (who is African-American), to an ape on Twitter? And then blamed it on Ambien? The next hit of Pluto to Saturn happens next January. In Roseanne’s horoscope, Pluto refers to her career and public status; Saturn refers to matters of self-doing. I doubt Roseanne is gone for good — and may well be back with another broadcasting/publishing/theatrical effort early next year. Fun fact: racism is not a known side effect of Ambien, says the maker of Ambien.
You know who else is having a challenging aspect between Pluto and Saturn — in effect from the first of the year for the next several months — and exact at the end of April? Melania Trump. We don’t have a birth time for Mrs. Trump, but it’s possible that her Moon is in early Capricorn, in which case we can see the potential for an ambitious reach (upside) or feelings of isolation and loss (downside) added to the extreme effort required by the tension between Pluto and Saturn. Today, transiting Mars is opposing her Taurus Sun, suggesting a need for action and assertion. And guess what? After not being seen in public for 20 days, her Twitter feed sent out a tweet asserting all was well. However Mrs. Trump may be feeling, her horoscope appears to be functioning as designed. Astrology is amazing. Fun fact: P45 will have a challenging measurement between Pluto and Saturn all through 2020.
But perhaps you would rather talk about your horoscope? When are you up for a challenging Pluto-Saturn adventure? It’s good to be prepared and plan ahead. Here is the 411 on personal consultations. We will have an excellent discussion together.
Thank you for reading this forecast. Gotta fly!
TGIF!
Here’s what you missed from yesterday (Thursday). This post was scheduled to be sent out in the AM, but MailChimp did not deliver.
Steady as you go today, suggests the Moon in Taurus. It’s driven by a need for material comfort and security: good food, wine and sensual delights.
Yesterday and today are apt for digging up dirt and making persuasive proposals, suggested by Mercury (how we need to think) meeting up with ruthless Pluto (this afternoon) and harmonizing with expansive Jupiter tomorrow morning. Just do it. I know I did.
Moon goes void tonight at 10:17 PM ET — keep on trucking through the work day. You can sleep in tomorrow (FRIDAY) without consequence, as the Moon will be void until 12:40 PM ET. Chill!
This is the last full day of Mars in Scorpio. If you were born on the last day of Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo or Taurus…or you have a planet or angle at 29 degrees of those signs, you may be feeling especially fired up — or provoked — or perhaps even attacked — as we roll into the weekend. Same goes if you were born on the first few days of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius. Exhibit A: the revelation that P45, whose Leo Ascendant was just squared by transiting Mars, tried to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller back in June. Exhibit B: the First Lady, who last experienced transiting Mars opposing her natal Venus at 28 Taurus in August of 2016. That was the week the NY Post published nude photos taken in 1995. On this Mars-Venus opposition, Mrs. Trump cancelled plans to travel with her husband to Davos. It’s their 13th wedding anniversary, btw. Might l’affaire Stormy have something to do with it? Not officially. Still, Mrs. Trump flew to Florida earlier today. An op-ed in the NYT marvels at Mrs. T’s “quiet radicalism.” Just wait and see how quiet she stays when transiting Uranus conjoins her Taurus Sun next year. Exhibit C: the revelation that the P45s asked to borrow a Van Gogh from the Guggenheim. Request denied — but look what was offered instead. Note that Mars at 28 Scorpio triggers the Big Fat Solar Eclipse we had on Aug 21st at 28 Leo…something was bound to come out.
Now for today — FRIDAY —
Mars enters Sagittarius at 7:57 AM ET. Think righteous action pushing boundaries. Tripping over its feet while aiming for the stars. Until March 18th. Meanwhile, the Moon stops drifting in Taurus and gets focused in Gemini at 12:40 PM ET. Twelve minutes later it makes a provocative face-off with fiery Mars. Yowza! Is anyone newsworthy giving a speech? We’ll hear about it, for sure.
No Moon void on SATURDAY means you are free to shop without worrying if your impulse purchase will prove to be disappointing. There’s a buzz buzz buzz in the air, suggested by mental Mercury in a charged connection with rebel technogeek Uranus. Great. You can read about serious high-flyers in the NYT Sunday magazine. “Selling Airborne Opulence to the Upper Upper Upper Class.” Oh New York Times, you are so in sync with planetary patterns…and you don’t even know it!
On SUNDAY, Moon will be void from 5:39 AM ET until 1:57 PM ET. Chill out and take care of routine concerns until the Moon enters Cancer. Then you can focus on creating emotional security in the comfort of your home. No sleeping in on MONDAY. The Moon will not be void. It will be waxing full to a Supermoon (in Leo) and a Lunar Eclipse on Wednesday at 8:27 AM ET. More drama-rama, release and illumination.
And now, the news.
One last story reflecting last week’s Sun-Venus-Uranus square (themes of women, freedom and flight): “Serial Stowaway: How does a 66-year-old woman keep sneaking on to flights?”.
Mercury + Pluto + Jupiter = ruthless investigation; brutal communication:
- From the UK’s Financial Times: FT investigation finds groping and sexual harassment at secretive black-tie dinner — attended by the would-be alpha males of Britain’s power and moneyed elite; add in the last-gasp alpha machismo suggested by Mars at the very end of Scorpio.
- The release of police video showing how yet another unarmed motorist was shot and killed in a Fairfax County traffic stop that occurred two months ago. No word yet on why. The traffic stop happened on November 17th, just before an exact Mars-Pluto square. A Mars-Pluto square suggests violent outbursts, as forecast back then.
- Larry Nassar was sentenced to 40-175 years in prison, an apt punishment for sexually abusing girls and young women under the guise of “medical treatment.” Judge Rosemarie Aquilina was only too happy to ruthlessly “sign his death warrant,” while reading parts of a letter he had written which drew gasps from the courtroom. In his marathon sentencing hearing over the past several days, scores of victims gave him an uncensored piece of their minds. Today, the president of Michigan State University resigned “under pressure.” MSU was Nassar’s former employer. Complaints were lodged against him years ago. MSU wasn’t the only institution — or person — Not. Paying. Attention.
- The shutdown is over — at least until February 8th. Senator Susan Collins won kudos for gathering a group of moderates in her office to work out an agreement. Her secret? An apt Mercury-Pluto symbol: a Native American talking stick. Only the person holding the stick had the power to speak.
- A member of the Satanic Temple made a persuasive case that Missouri abortion regulations violate her religious beliefs
- Meanwhile, “HHS’s New Rule Allows Health Care Workers to Discriminate Against LGBTQ People and Abortion Seekers” — based on a similar argument. Rule of law about to be replaced by rule of opinion?
- The Doomsday Clock was moved forward by 30 seconds. It’s now at two minutes to midnight, the closest it has been since 1953. Brutal.
- Ruthless, but good: Candice Bergen will be back on TV as Murphy Brown, the “take-no prisoners” fictional journalist who caused a scandal by having a child as a single mother back in the ’90s. Saturn has just crossed Ms. Bergen’s 0 Capricorn Ascendant and transiting Pluto is square her 18 Libra Midheaven. Those transits alone suggest transformation, empowerment and the potential emergence of Candice Bergen v. 2.0 in 2018. Murphy Brown returns to the air this fall. Yay!
Add the disruptive tech potential of Mercury squared by Uranus, and you’ve got a persuasive spot from Burger King, which explains what net neutrality is and why it should be reinstated. Brilliant.
UPDATE: Elsewhere, from NPR: ” Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s Pregnancy Set To Be Another First For The Illinois Democrat” . Yes, another first. Sen. Duckworth is the first Asian-American woman to be elected to Congress from Illinois, and the first disabled woman to win election from any state. You should already have a clue as to what we’ll find in her horoscope. An Obvious Something that reflects a need to be a pioneer. Oh…what could it be? Any guesses? Born on March 12, 1968 in Bangkok (birth time unknown), she may be a compassionate Pisces with Moon in regal Leo, but she has two powerful planets in me-me-me-first Aries: Saturn and Mars. And her Mars is hot right now — at 18 Aries (just like Bill Browder from Monday’s forecast), and currently being supercharged by Pluto well into 2018.
What’s going on in your horoscope? When are you going to be feeling the urge to act with persuasive effort? Do you have that inclination naturally — or would you only be fired up in certain supercharged time frames? Here’s the 411 on personal consultations. We will have an excellent discussion together.
Thank you for reading this forecast.
