Re-Feminist History (aka Bitchstory)

This week there are some really optimistic and helpful transits. But overall, there seems to be this push-pull, teeter totter between self and other. The moon is full in Capricorn, which rules the 10th house. But the moon rules the 4th house, just opposite the 10th house. So that lunation alone creates a family vs. job vibe. But if you take a look at all the transits (over on the blog at kellymcclain.blogspot.com), you’ll see something like this as the play by play/day by day: You feel (and are) attractive You or your “other” are impatient and resentful Everyone is optimistic! You or your partner are jealous and needy You feel so gifted and talented! You feel disillusioned You have long term goals! You need to be spooned!! You spent too much money this week trying to cope with your emotional whiplash, and now you’re stressed about your bank account!! Go back to being spooned… So, what the hell do we do? Well, first, let’s just focus on this Full Moon, bringing things to fruition a...

This is one of those weeks where there are many juxtapositions of conflicting energy. This is true throughout the week, and also on some individual days - there will be dualing transits working in different directions. As a result, we are likely to feel pretty edgy. The big news this week is the 2nd Saturn square Uranus transit on Monday (tension, challenges, changes). Not to be outdone, however, is dwarf planet Pluto making several strong aspects to other planets, indicating power plays and touchy triggers. AND, Eris and Lilith both make a notable appearance, indicating that, we will likely “stand with a fist” (remember her from Dances with Wolves?). How this plays out and whose fist wins will depend on the location of Eris and Lilith in your chart, and the chart of those you live and work with. I wonder how many times I can dramatically use “AND…” in this article… AND...Mercury is slowing down, preparing to station direct. The days Mercury stations retrograde or direct are actu...

This week starts out relatively quiet, leaving us to settle from the weirdness of last week. However, there are some major things happening that will speed things up, and slow other things down, and you won’t know how that’s going to hit, because of retrogrades, Neptune, and Uranus. Stay light on your feet and loosen your grip on your desired outcomes. This week has its share of interpersonal challenges and conflicts. There are some things floating around that can definitely screw with you: Conflict, feeling pulled in too many directions, confusion, cockiness...there’s a mix of rebellion and passionate pursuit with and laziness and poor communication. Its like...a room full of candles, unwatered houseplants, and a blind-folded candle lighter….you can’t quite be sure WTF may catch on fire. You would be wise to spend some of the beginning of the week nurturing your personal relationships. Also, take some time to focus on what you’d like to manifest with this New Moon solar eclipse on Thu...
