Re-Feminist History (aka Bitchstory)

Well this week there are a couple things to discuss, but the big focus is the Lunar Eclipse on Saturday July 4th  (late the 4th and very early the 5th in some places).  This Full Moon is in Capricorn, opposite the Sun in Cancer. This lunation asks us about how we can have the harmonious home life we all crave, shedding light on the tension between nurturing ourselves and our responsibility to others.  One way of looking at at this (archetypally and admittedly gender normatively) is the difference between how a mother tends to her family and how a father tends to his family. Do success and money bring ease and joy, or do ease and joy help manifest money and abundance? This eclipse is also an emotional reset. This moon opposes Mercury, which means expressing your feelings is important during this time. The trouble may be that Mercury is also retrograde, so accessing and making sense of those feelings could be a little more difficult than usual. To help gather your though...

BitchScopes for June 22-28 Well Venus is direct this week, but we are still neck deep in retrograde season. Some tension that has lingered in relationships for the last few weeks might suddenly just be smoothed over. Or you might suddenly have the nerve to deal with it. But we are in a very mixed energy right now, so you should examine and reexamine your feelings and what you say before you say it. Because you may think your ass is on fire, and be ready to dial 911, only to find out later that you just have a sunburn, or wore the wrong pants. Your judgement is clouded and you’re likely to be a little over reactive. Its best to pull back, focus on your personal goals, and observe yourself (and others) carefully. Take stock of your feelings and be prudent in what you say and to whom this week. Having said that, however, do talk to your people, your loved ones, your friends. Enjoy some laughs, and some art, and some summer time. Don’t isolate yourself too much. If you feel particul...

Last week was Neptune-y, this week is very Cancer-y and sensitive. Mercury goes retrograde in cancer, the sun enters Cancer, and there’s a solar eclipse in Cancer.  Eek! However in the middle of the week we do have a glimmer of respite with some Mars transits that will energize and motivate you...that is if you can be motivated.  it might be an uphill battle because we are likely to feel tender and emotional and not very logical, for the most part. June 18th : Mercury retrograde in Cancer (until july 12th) Our thoughts are coloured by our emotions. It is very difficult to be objective, during this transit.  we are collectively in deep introspection now (which is obvious when you watch the news or look at social media) because we have 5 planets retrograde. June 18th: Mars sextile Pluto - drive and determination June 19th : Sun conjunct North Node - what we desire, also desires us. our annual opportunity to realign to our higher callings. June 20th : Mars sexti...

Neptune is King this week. These are just a couple of the transits this week, there’s always infinite numbers of aspects going on and everyone’s chart is different. But this week, it’s clear who is in charge, and that it will be a mushy time. June 11th: Sun in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces Sun square Neptune transit has a draining and “lazy-fying” effect. Motivation may be scarce. Depression and feelings of insecurity are possible. Things, events or people can cause confusion and disappointment. Honesty in an over the top way is well advised right now. June 13th: Mars conjunct Neptune in Pisces Mars is awkward here, and may get a little romance-drunk. That’s not a super effective mood for the warrior planet. Your desire for spirituality could be activated. More desire to chase your dreams is possible as well. Watch for delusion and escapist tendencies which could have consequences (drunk driving, unsafe sex etc). Neptune rules the 12th house and the sign of Pisces. In the ...
