Re-Feminist History (aka Bitchstory)

There is a definite emphasis on communication this week! Mercury is everywhere, touching and talking to most of the planets in some way, as well as some of the asteroids. The other emphasis is on our goals for the future, our “fate”, the vision we have for ourselves, and how our committed partnerships fit in to and nourish those visions. Mars is active this week too, so our desires and drives are strong. And the other planet showing up more than usual is my favorite girl, Eris. There is such a huge stellium of Aries planets: Sun, Eris, Ceres, Chiron, Venus, Mercury...Your sense of self, your ego, and your will are front and center. Be aware of how your ego expresses itself. And as these planets move into Taurus this week, the shift is likely to be palpable. If you feel tired as these shifts happen, well...when in Taurus, do as the Tauruses do...lie on the couch and luxuriate until you realize how fabulous you are. The shift from doing to having is going to be a jolt. Make sur...

  As is clear from the long list of transits this week, there’s a lot going on! The majority of this week’s aspects are trines and sextiles, which are positive and harmonious. There are a few aspects that serve as a wrench in the works, but overall, this week is very much on your side. All of this culminates in YET ANOTHER opportunity for a fresh start and new beginning. The Universe has already given us several bold and shining chances to get our shit together and manifest what we want and it's only April! Every new moon is such an opportunity, and we have one of those this week. It’s abundant potential is increased by the fact that it is in Aries. So while the Equinox kicks off the astrological new year, this first Aries new moon is the real benchmark. What seems to be happening here is many chances to figure out what it is we want. Usually that is a process, not a lighting strike. The Universe is absolutely conspiring in your favor, giving you all sorts of chances to ge...

I'm keeping the overview here short and sweet:  One theme I am noticing in the transits of this week is that of established intimate relationships and the security that they can enjoy when they are healthy. There’s  a continuation of the theme of finding your path, adjusting your trajectory, and healing as a means of moving forward. The Universe is asking us to really examine our hearts desires about our future, but the heart must also be healed in order to allow the GPS to work properly. So this week, get some rest and soak up some of the healing energy offered. Take care of yourself and your loved ones. Open yourself up to healing old wounds. Let’s get to it… March 29 Mercury conjunct Neptune - dreamier thinking, meditation, interest in mysteries and art and imagination. Sun quincunx Vesta - potholes on your path are illuminated; adjustments to the goals you hold as sacred Sun conjunct Chiron - Progress with healing; wounds can be illuminated and thereby healed March 30 Ven...

It looks to be a busy week ahead, both for our healing, and with our minds, and probably those 2 elements together. With the sun in Aries and the Spring equinox at our back, we will feel anxious and ready to get on with things. But we need to watch out for rash behavior. Before we “get on with it”, we have to do some work on ourselves. Our “sacred work”, ideal career, or our “calling” seems to be a focus at the moment. But the planets are telling us that we need to heal and serve ourselves before we can heal and serve others. Where you feel triggered, oversensitive, or fearful this week, take note. That is the illumination of your wounds. Mercury is active this week, so your mind may run ahead of you. Use the full moon to declutter your mind of painful memories or old hurts. In order to move ahead, you must lighten your load. Things are leaning toward your independence from the things that have held you back thus far. But in order to succeed, you need to be well acquainted wi...

There is a theme this week of work, work-life balance, changes in the work you do, etc.  Problem solving and finding work-arounds for things that don’t work are also a theme.  The desire to escape can surface as a means of avoiding conflict and frustration. On the up side, though, there is plenty of information and news to satisfy whatever your question is.  Love and intimacy look good this week (unless you work with your spouse or your spouse is your boss, in which case there may be some spill over tension), as does the healing process. Pay attention to your natal Mars and Chiron...those are the houses that are activated for healing. (for me its my 10th and my 6th and I cannot even emphasize how accurate this feels, because I am really struggling with my work routines and habits!)  In other good news, the Spring Equinox gives us yet another “new year” of sorts, and an opportunity to have a fresh start on things.  Most of the world celebrates January 1st as the ...

You may notice a slight change in the format for the transits.  There are also quite a few more than usual, as I am playing with adding in the asteroids and dwarf planets to see how they can contribute to my process.  So far, I like this vibe a lot, especially for scopes called BitchScopes.   I am fiddling with my writing process as well.  So to arrive at the mood for this week I made a a word cloud.  It won’t show up in the scopes on 12Listen due to formatting constraints. Here is the list of words in descending order of emphasis in case you can't see the graphic (or you can bounce over to the blog) **  Feelings, intuition, meditation, m other, nurture, s ensitive, choice, commitment, empathy, family, l ogic, news, bonding, c ompromise, h umanitarian, idealistic, misunderstandings, prayer, selfish, sharing, vulnerable ** I kinda love it...at least for this week. Who knows about next week.   P.S. Bohemian Rhapsody just landed in my brain o...

BitchScopes for March 1st - March 8th Overall this looks to be a very positive week with a strong dose of compassion, harmony, appreciation for other people, and fun flirty energy. But it isn’t all Spring Break and free love. There is a strong emphasis on the future and moving toward our higher purpose. However, the focus you require to reach those goals and dreams may be hard to find this week as many shiny things and pretty people may make it hard to concentrate. You may feel distracted and see many squirrels. Most of the tension will be internal as you try to find a balance between the sexy, flirtation energy, and the tug toward something much more meaningful. Marriages and intimate relationships should have a pleasant week and good communication of deep thoughts and feelings. The relationship energy is pretty sweet, and both the Sun and Venus in Pisces may have you using the heart-eye emoji more than usual. While you may be in love with love, don’t forget to work on plans fo...

Well I’m not gonna lie, Bitches...writing these Scopes has been a struggle. I damn near threw my computer into the ocean. I have been battling a migraine since Friday. So I am definitely not in the mood to wrestle with computers who work slower than I do! But despite my foul mood, in looking at this week’s transits, I am very optimistic and feeling a little excited! This week has a whole host of transits all aimed at helping us reach our goals and making desired changes in our lives. The timing is on your side, the moon is on your side...hell, even Mars and Pluto are on your side. One minor caveat: watch yourself for being overly controlling or manipulative. Mercury is now direct...what did you learn during the past few weeks about your inner Spock? Put those ideas to work now! Now, on to the individual scopes, because this bitch is exhausted! 2/24 Asteroid Lillith enters Capricorn (until March 16) - Lilith here can bring out feelings of being neglected,and will compensate by being...

Well if you felt like last week was weird...buckle up bitches!  This week is a mixed bag of fired up emotions.  It can be sexy, angry, bajiggity, motivated and lazy all at once.   On the plus side:  Mercury goes direct this week, and the Sun moves into Pisces.  The Sun will be the first to move out of that massive Aquarian pile up of planets, followed by Venus later in February, and then Mercury in Mid-March.  As that Aquarius stellium starts to loosen up and break apart, we can start to feel more grounded and focused. Aquarius is a lot of great things (said the Aquarian), but it can also be too detached, a bit lazy, and a little too much up in the head and not in the body.  Having the #1 luminary, the Sun, in Pisces will at least get us into our heart space and a little out of our heads.  But there’s still a lot going on in the collective mind.  We have our eyes on the future, and the present is just not very comfortable.  Saturn ...
