Re-Feminist History (aka Bitchstory)

  All eyes are on Washington DC this week, and the inauguration of Biden as President #46. Multiple security threats are afoot and this will be an inauguration that is different than any other in history. At the time I’m writing this, we don’t really know what that will look like. But certainly this changing of the guard, regardless of the ceremony that swears him in, represents a big change and deep breath for not just the U.S., but for all of US. I truly believe we have reasons to feel optimistic! Just for funzies, I looked at the numerology. Biden’s life path number is 11. (So were Reagan, Clinton, and Obama.) He is called to diplomacy and leadership. One could argue that all presidents are called to those things. However, for contrast: Trump is a 4, which at the very least carries a lot of responsibility for stability. But it also came from “31” (the numbers in his birthdate added up), which is a number of Karmic Debt. His inauguration day 1/20/2017 was also a 4/13/ kar...

Every so often, I like to title this blog “What’s Up Uranus?” I switched it up to “Uranus is Chafed” because I’m super mature, and also because it is accurate. Although I think Uranus is chafing US more than he is chafed himself. But anyway... Uranus is my ruling planet, and he is making himself known throughout this month. There are a couple of really optimistic aspects at the beginning of the week, and then things turn to feeling frustrated and nervous. Accurate! If you’re working in an office (anyone remember that?), keep a low profile this week and don’t stir the pot. If you must ask for something, do it on Thursday, when Sun conjunct Pluto increases personal power. But it would be wise to see how these transits land in your chart as well. I would just say don’t ask for much this week, smile and nod, and avoid confrontations. The New Moon is not gentle or simple either. Working on your personal goals is a great idea. But this moon makes a number of potentially tense aspects t...

There are quite a few ingresses this week, which is when a planet changes signs. 3 of the personal planets shift into new energy: Mars, Mercury, and Venus. When a planet changes signs, we often feel a little off for a day or so. But the big news this week is Mars. We have had Mars in Aries since June 2020 (when it is usually only in a sign for 6 weeks), and it never came all the way to 29 degrees! It came up to 28 degrees, then retrograded. This created a feeling of frustration individually and collectively and we all know what that looked like in society, not just in the US, but globally. Mars played a key role in the spread of Covid in 2020 as well. So this move out of Aries where Mars is its most powerful and impulsive, into steady, Earthy, Taurus is a big deal. Finally reaching a conclusion about something, anything, will feel really fantastic to all of us. Previously I had used the analogy of not quite being able to achieve an orgasm...getting really close but just not ...
