Y'all!  There is a lot happening this week!  The Sun moves into Aries and we celebrate the Spring Equinox.  We have both Mercury and Venus changing signs. And quite a few significant transits.  I will admit I don't have the attention span to ramble like I normally do, so I'm going to go through the most significant transits (in my humble opinion). 

Monday we have a no pants day, yay!  No major transits to report. 

Tuesday Mars squares Neptune - this transit happens about once a year.  When Mars retrogrades we get it twice. This transit can bring scandal and intrigue.  Kylie Jenner and Britney Spears and Henry VIII all were born with a strong Mars square Neptune.  We might feel a little suspicious or paranoid during this transit.  Mind your own business for at least a couple days.  This transit can also create a feeling of discouragement, so just be aware. 

Wednesday, Mars FINALLY leaves its retrograde shadow.  And then the Sun conjuncts Neptune, which is a very sensitive, psychic vibe. 

Thursday is crazy and the rest of the week is as well.  Mercury conjunct Neptune makes us ponder the mysteries of life, but that's the last of the feely transits for a bit.  That same day, the Sun square Mars is like a challenge from a competitor, Venus square Pluto at 29° and this can create a some intense shit in relationships (or with your bank account).   A couple hours later, Venus will calm her tits when she moves into Taurus, which she rules. But then we are back on our bullshit when Mercury squares Mars, which can cause short tempers and impulsive thinking and decision making.  Think Ouummmmmm Venus in Tauruuuuuuusssss...

Friday kicks off with the Sun conjunct Mercury - and our minds are in high gear. Venus sextile Saturn makes love take on a serious tone. We want love, serious love.  The current state of affairs will determine your mood around that.  Next we get some interesting downloads of info when both Mercury and the Sun square the Galactic Center - this raises some awarenesses which may or may not be conscious about how out of alignment we are with the Universe.  Life on Earth is, newsflash, fucked up.  These squares can create a feeling of conflict, which, if we are tapped in, we can use as a means to realign.  If only the whole world could tap in...  

Over the weekend things are super light and fluffy <sarcasm> Mercury sextile Pluto adds intensity and depth to our thoughts and conversations.  Oh good, cuz we've been so shallow up to now! Then, mercifully, Mercury moves into Aries where it is less engulfed and more confident.   Mercury and the Sun make several aspects to the asteroids, including one to Sedna, which is said to be our Spiritual Sun, giving us access to spiritual growth. 

I have to cover Monday for a couple reasons.  Venus conjuncts the North Node of the Moon, which is a chance for us to embrace Venusian things like beauty and love and things we value (money).  The Spring Equinox is the welcoming of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere. It is a time of rebirth and renewal as we (hopefully) emerge from the dark, cold days of Winter and into the warmth of the Sun (soon, anyway. Too soon where I am!). The Sun sextiles Pluto on Monday as well, giving us a will to succeed and a determination that may have been sleeping for a while, as this transit occurs only twice a year.  

Next week I will cover the New Moon in Aries (woooo I'm excited for that!), more about the Equinox, and Pluto moving into Aquarius (yay! I think...) 

This is a lot to cover, so I'm going to get real simple with these scopes, and pull a Tarot card for each. I'm using one of my Cat Tarot decks, because, of course...and because I think cat energy is marvelously confident and affectionate and empowered.  



ARIES - Your 1st house gets a real energy boost with both the Sun and Mercury moving into that area.  Venus moving into Taurus gives your income sector a sigh of relief.  Both of these transits are given intensity and power thanks to influence from Pluto at 29° Capricorn.  Appropriately enough (of course!), your card is the Page of Wands, which is the first flickerings of a creative flame, a little bit of restlessness about it (29°), which can send you in a new, positive direction. 

TAURUS - Things could get real deep and spiritual in your life with the Sun and Mercury moving into your 12th house.   They are given an extra boost by Pluto at 29° of serious Saturn still in your 9th house of beliefs, idealism, and experience. Venus moving into your 1st house makes you charming and attractive to damn near anyone, but you'll be drawn to depth.  Your card is the 2 of pentacles.  This cards calls for adaptability and flexibility.  Keep your options open because the path isn't clear just yet. 

GEMINI - Your social life gets a boost by the Sun and Mercury moving into your 11th house.  These could be professional connections or personal friendships.  Venus will be in your 12th house while in Taurus, so you might feel like spending time alone.  The flow of Love and Money might slow down a bit during this time, but it's temporary.  Pluto is in your 8th house making one final dramatic gesture, which adds secretive influence to Venus, Mercury and the Sun.  Your card is the Page of Pentacles, which can bring financial opportunities.  Be practical in your pursuits. 

CANCER - Your career sector is getting a great boost by the Sun and Mercury moving into Aries.  Pluto intensifies that energy from the 7th house of partnerships. Even if an obstacle appears, it will be relatively minor and you'll have more than enough chutzpah to overcome it and find a solution.  Venus will be entering your 11th house making your social life charming and pleasant.  Your card is the 4 of Pentacles which is all about stability and success.  What you have put work into will pay off!

LEO - The Sun and Mercury will be entering your 9th house of learning and belief.  Your mind will be open and ripe for new ideas.  Venus enters your career house, making you charming and well received to those you work with.  Pluto is giving you one last blast from 29° of Capricorn in your 6th house of health, work and routine.  Your card is the 10 of Cups.  This is the happy family card, so it looks like this period of time will be one of harmony and happiness for you!

VIRGO -   The Sun and Mercury will enter your 8th house of other people's money/stuff and Venus will enter Sagittarius.  You might find yourself more able to pay down debt, or get something financed over the next month.  Venus in Sagittarius values freedom and adventure.  Your card is Temperance. This is a card of compromise, cooperation and adaptation. Be patient and look for the middle road. (The Justice card fell out as well. So if you are waiting for news or determination of something, it looks like it will be resolved in your favor or mutually agreeable terms.)

LIBRA - Your relationship, partnership, and intimacy houses will be activated when the Sun, Mercury and Venus change signs this week.  Venus  in the 8th house is about affection and intimacy, and its in Taurus, no less! Yum! Pluto is sending one last beam of power from your 4th house of home and family, so it looks like the stability you so deeply crave is already happening. Your card is the King of Pentacles. This is a reminder to enjoy the material pleasures and fruits of your hard work.  (You might also cross paths with a professional that could be very helpful to you.)

SCORPIO - The Sun and Mercury move into your 6th house this week, and your vitality, energy, motivation and thinking processes could all level up.  Venus moves into your 7th house of relationships, offering happiness and harmony to your marriage or business partnerships.  Your card is the 6 of Swords - the drama is behind you and you can progress to the next phase now.  There is movement involved, whether it is physical or mental, and it is positive.  

SAGITTARIUS - The Sun and Mercury move into your 5th house of good times.  Fun and pleasure should be the theme of the next few weeks at least.  Venus enters your 6th house of health and habit and could make you lucky with work.  All 3 of those are squaring Pluto at 29° in your 2nd house.  Your ambition will pay off.  Your card is the 3 of Wands - goals will be reached and there are new horizons to explore (damn that is perfect for Sagittarius!). 

CAPRICORN - Your home, family and children sectors are activated by the movement this week. The Sun and Mercury enter your 4th house, bringing lively activity to the home. Venus enters the 5th which is fantastic for romance.  Family fun, romantic fun...it looks like a great few weeks! Your card is the Moon - you may be feeling a bit unsettled emotionally.  Lean in to your intuition and your tools during this time to suss out the deeper meanings.  (Pluto at 29° in your 1st house of "who the hell am I?" is probably responsible for much of this.  He's moving on next week and you'll be able to embrace that romance and fun)

AQUARIUS - Your intellectual activity could get a boost this week (like you need that?) with the Sun and Mercury moving into your 3rd house of communication. This is Mercury's natural domicile so your thought processes should be flowing with ease.  Information is likely to  come up from your unconscious as well as Pluto gives you one last zap from the 12th house.  Venus enters your 4th house of home and family, bringing a sense of harmony to the home life.  Your card is the 7 of Cups - this is about imagination and vision (so you!).  The possibilities are many so you'll have to find a focus at some point.  

PISCES - The Sun and Mercury leave your 1st house of identity and move into your "show me the money" house.  Your ideas and energy will be more directed to making and receiving money for at least a few weeks.  Pluto is having one last hurrah in your 11th house of people you know, so it is possible that some profitable connections can be made.  Venus enters your 3rd house of communication, making you most attracted to humor and the exchange of ideas. Grumpy Gus will not be invited to your party.  Your card is The World.  This is the last card of the Major Arcana, and Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac.  I don't plan this shit, I just deliver the messages! Anyway...goals will be reached, efforts rewarded. A cycle is ending, but an even better one is starting. I hope you can lean back and enjoy the view.

Saturn moves into Pisces AND a full moon in Virgo! BitchScopes for the week of March 6-12


Ok bitches! Here we are. Astrologers have been talking about March 2023 for many months.  This week, things start shifting!  

I'm going to cut straight to the chase this week. Saturn enters Pisces on Tuesday after being in Aquarius for 2.5 years.  Here's what I wrote at the beginning of 2023 about this crucial transit: 


On March 7, Saturn will leave Aquarius for Pisces. This should be interesting! These are totally opposite energies - Saturn is boundaries and rules and Pisces is connectedness and spiritual.

Saturn in Pisces Dates:
  • February 14th 1935, to April 25th 1937
  • October 17th 1937, to January 14th, 1938
  • March 23rd, 1964, to September 16th, 1964
  • December 16th, 1964, to March 3rd, 1967
  • May 21st, 1993, to June 30th, 1993
  • January 28th, 1994, to April 7th, 1996
  • March 7th, 2023, to May 24th, 2025
  • September 1st, 2025, to February 13th, 2026

Themes: Religion, discipline, boundaries, lack of boundaries, confronting addiction, charity, compassion, depression, melancholy, immigration law, Fascism vs anti fascism (again. This concept will be big).

We are already seeing a decline in organized religions, and Christianity has come under heavy criticism over the last few years. As Christianity declines (its a cycle…it’ll come back, weirder), antisemitism is likely to surge.

Hitler came into power during Saturn in Pisces, Emergence of belief systems that focus on autonomy (the church of satan was founded under saturn in pisces)

he wanted to eradicate the Christian church. We already know what else he wanted to eradicate. Also during this transit, the Church of England allowed its first female priests. New age and esoteric religions have generally become popular during these cycles.

Saturn in Pisces could be lonely, and we might see a lot more discussion around depression. The health care entities in the Western world are likely to formally embrace mental health care in a more significant way. Also very likely are more public discussions about substance additions, recovery, sobriety. Melancholy will be a theme that we will see played out in music, movies, and literature. Nihilism will slowly move on as we realize that we can’t just sit on our asses and be sad about climate doom etc.

My Predictions for Saturn in Pisces
  • Melancholy as an artform and cultural vibe
  • Israel- Palestine escalation
  • Birth control protection will be codified (birth control was developed under Saturn in Pisces)
  • Religious zealotry
  • Minimum age issues examined (driving, drinking, social media ad targeting, etc).
  • Regulation over technology
  • Big pharma will be called out in a major way, and western medicine will begin to move away from hard core pain killers (I just saw a new technique for post C-sections that involves an implanted thread that delivers just lidocaine to the area via a balloon and pump!)
  • Prison reform - specifically I expect to see some people released who are in prison for just Cannabis.
  • A new prohibition and attempts to de-popularize drinking. Non drinkers as a new social norm (bespoke mocktails industry is already forming)
  • Conspiracy theories will settle down
  • Younger generations who have been complaining about our collective doom will need to get their shit together and get jobs.
  • Interest in Psychology will surge
  • Psychedelics will be the new Marijuana

The above is how  Saturn will affect society.  Personally, Saturn will firm up whatever area he's passing through.  For example, I got married when Saturn was in  my 7th house.  But a couple who has been struggling might decide it is time to just go separate ways in a 7th similar transit.  Saturn makes things serious, permanent, secure, and provides boundaries.  Saturn will be transiting my midheaven during his time in Pisces. So it will be interesting to see what happens with my career over the next couple of years. 

That same day (Tuesday) we have a full moon in Virgo (interestingly, the opposite of Pisces).  So that 6th house and 12th house axis is very activated this week.  I will go through how that affects each sign (specifically you should read your rising sign for this info). 

Uranus has a strong influence on this full moon, and I love to say about Uranus "expect the unexpected".  That was a the motto of a safety department I worked for once.  How stupid and yet...logical? Anyway, sudden events can happen with Uranus' influence.  Add that to a full moon and...in my case it seems it has set all my cats on "level 10 weirdo", at least at the moment.  

Pluto is still at 29° and will be moving into Aquarius in a couple weeks. But for now, any aspects Pluto makes will be at that critical degree.  Wherever Pluto is in your chart right now, there is extra emphasis and weight.  Things are getting wrapped up before he shifts into Aquarius later this month.  

There are plenty of other interesting aspects, (Venus, Mars and Eris are dancing around each other creating an empowering triad) but Saturn and the full moon kind of overshadow everything so that's what we are going to focus on.  Here we go!




ARIES - Saturn is taking you to Spiritual grad school.  You will be reflecting on the past, your wounds, your secrets, your failures...in general there is a lot of depth in this transit.  But it isn't necessarily going to make you lonely or unhappy.  You are just likely to be focusing on what is really "real" in your life.  You will examine what is important and what you need for security (this is often the healing of those old wounds).  Pluto is finishing up work in your 10th house.  You have been very focused on career and achievements and some aspect of that might feel really big or heavy right now.  You have established strong foundations for your public life and you're entering a period where friendships and alliances will be emphasized.  The full moon in Virgo lights up information in your 6th house. The full moon enlightens us, and brings information into the open.  This moon could provide answers about your health or something with your physical body. There might also be changes in your day-to-day tasks at work, or how you feel about your work.  

TAURUS - This Saturn transit is going to tighten up your circle of friends.  People who aren't really your friend will be moved out of your inner circle, and people who have proven they are trustworthy will have their connection with your strengthened.  This period of time will show you that you can achieve great things with "a little help from your friends".  Friends are not always the BFF kind of people.  In the 11th house they can be business associates, peers, or colleagues as well as people you share things in common with, like clubs. Pluto is wrapping things up in your 9th house of learning, travel and experience.  What you believe has been anchored in after years of sorting through various philosophies and weighing them for yourself.  This full moon in Virgo happens in your 5th house.  Romantic relationships can become serious, dramatic, or sexually charged.  Or you might realize that you need more of some particular thing that offers you joy and pleasure.  

GEMINI - Saturn will be moving into your office, so to speak.  Your 10th house of career is going to be solidified under this transit.  Speaking as a Gemini rising myself, this is going to be interesting.  With Gemini rising, we also have Pisces Midheaven (MC), and our careers may have wandered a bit, never quite feeling solid.  Whereas some of our friends have always known what they want to do and what they are good at,  we Pisces MC's have been very fluid.  Saturn is likely to firm up this part of our lives.  Pluto is finishing up business in the 8th house of other people's stuff/money.  Pluto has been digging out what we've buried in regards to finances, intimacy, and our more primal urges.   The Virgo full moon happens in the 4th house, where truths about home and family can be suddenly realized, or something with our physical home can soon be finalized. 

CANCER - Saturn will be setting up shop in your 9th house and you are going on a deep dive for truth and meaning.  You will be reviewing what you've learned thus far and  what you are keeping and tossing. Your principles and ideals may be tested during this 2 year period. And woe until they who cross a cancer's principles! Especially if it affects someone they love.  During this time you are also likely to see your ambitions begin to bear good fruit.  Pluto is finishing up business in the 7th house where he has been for 15 years.  Power struggles in relationships are finishing up in some way now. These connections will either go deeper or go away.  The Virgo full moon lights up your 3rd house of communication. This is prime gossip territory so be aware.  Information or secrets can come out as well.   


LEO - Saturn in Pisces will happen in your 8th house.  During this time, your security will be derived by discovering your own power as well as resources of "others".   This could mean a partnership forms, or that you secure financing that will help you achieve the desired security.  Something about this transit feels to me like you'll utilize the resources and even people around you  to secure yourself solid footing before you go out on your own in some way.  Pluto is finishing up in your 6th house, where your physical vitality has been tested for the last 15 years.  Perhaps you've been self sacrificing and if so, you're feeling pretty over it at this point.  This Virgo full moon illuminates your 2nd house of earned money.  This might bring up feelings around money, or have you reassessing your budget in some way. You might make a large purchase that you've been saving for. You could get the raise you've been asking for.  Something financial comes to fruition. 

VIRGO - Saturn's time in Pisces will land in your 7th house of partnership.  If you're in a solid relationship, it could become permanent in the next couple years.  (It happened to me!) If you're married or in a business partnership that is faltering and struggling, this 2 years will ask you to get serious about WTF you're doing.  Business relationships can be really strengthened at this time as well, it just depends on how things are as you enter this transit.  Pluto is wrapping up his time in your 5th house.  Maybe there's a feeling of urgency or major power struggles happening around your children, or the desire to have children, etc.  Perhaps the last 15 years have been a creative fiesta for you.  And if you are, say...a professional dominatrix, you'll probably be hanging up your riding crop soon.  Last but certainly not least this full moon is all about you.  It will illuminate your 1st house of self and give you a sense of direction for your next steps (from dominatrix in the 5th house to sexual healer in the 6th house?). 

LIBRA - Saturn's transit through Pisces will happen in your 6th house of health and habits.  Your sense of security is likely to come from your routines during this time.  Saturn will ask you to get serious about your health. If there are any issues, he'll point them out. If your work tasks or routine are not cutting it, he will push you to make changes there for your advancement.   Something to watch for during this time is fixation.  It might be you, or it might be someone around you and that is a reflection of the 6th house. Don't spin your wheels about the mole on your back...go get it checked.  Don't spin your wheels about some minor matter in your relationship.  Focus on the bigger picture.   Just something to be aware of.  Pluto is finishing up in your 4th house.  Your family situation has been challenging in some way over the last 2 years and that should be winding down, though right now it might still feel a bit heavy.  Finally, the full moon in Virgo is in your 12th house. This is a classic "things fallout out of the closet" type thing.  If you have shoved things aside or tried to bury them, or plain forgotten about something, these things might just float to the surface under Virgo's eagle eye and the spotlight of the full moon.  

SCORPIO - Saturn will set up shop in your 5th house for the next 2 years.  This could be a very eye opening time for you, depending on life circumstances. The 5th house is joy, fun, children, romance, and sex.  You might have a kind of sexual awakening.  You might have to deal with the security of your children in some way. Or you might just realize that you need some F-U-N in your life ASAP.  Saturn will make sure you are aware of what you've been missing. It could be really fun!  Pluto is finishing up in your 3rd house .  If you happen to be working on a book, you might be feeling the pressure right now to get it finished.  During the last 15 years with Pluto in the 3rd, you may have felt challenged to express yourself in some way. This can be a psychologically difficult transit in this house.  But you are about to emerge from it with a very new outlook. The Virgo full moon on Tuesday hits your 11th house.  This can shine a light on your friendships and associations with peers and colleagues and give you a sort of insight you didn't have before. If there are touchy issues in an 11th house relationship, it might come to a head during this moon.  

SAGITTARIUS -  Saturn will be camping out in your living room for a couple years...and by that I mean in your 4th house of home and family.  Family situations and circumstances can take on a more serious tone during this time, or maybe you move out on your own (that's very Saturnian) during this period and set up your own house. You'll get familiar with Saturn real quick when you have new responsibilities and obligations.   Pluto is finishing up business in your 2nd house, where you have been learning about what you truly value, what makes you feel valued, and what makes you feel secure.  If you had entrenched circumstances or people that made you feel crappy, chances are you've decided to move on from them during the last 15 years.  The full moon in Virgo highlights your 10th house of career and public image.  You have the spotlight on you, and whether that's good or bad only you know.  But you will be noticed. 

CAPRICORN -  Since Saturn is your ruling planet, you are pretty at-home with the energy he offers.  He'll be moving into your 3rd house, making you get serious about how you express yourself, learning, publishing, even how you think.  This can be a time where depression can creep in, so do be aware of that and take care of your mental health.  Your sense of security is going to be attached to your mental energy during this time. You may come up with big solutions to big problems, or your sense of being heard and understood might feel challenged.   Meanwhile, Pluto is saying his goodbyes to Cap, and I know all the caps are standing on their metaphorical porches waving enthusiastically "Ok bye. byeeee. ok now, bye. Right. Have a nice trip. Uh huh, thanks, you too. Ok bye".  and then slamming that damn door and pouring a drink.  Your whole sense of self and identity has been undergoing a 15 year make over. Sure 15 years changes anyone. But 15 year with Pluto looking back at you in the mirror is intense! But look at you, bitch! Thriving. Winning. Surviving.  Whatever state you're in, it's OK!  Finally the full moon in Virgo will be in your 9th house of belief, travel and experience. Big dreams live here as well, so you might get a little taste of your future during this illuminated time.  

AQUARIUS - Saturn is your co-ruler, and so like Capricorn, you're pretty used to having him as your boss.  He will be in your 2nd house as he's traveling through Pisces, making sure you learn how to budget, balance your checkbook, and pay yourself first throughout life.  Your earnings can increase during this time because Saturn will make you get serious about money and spending. Or you might feel a little cramped as he puts a hold on your spending in some way. Pluto is finishing up in your 12th house...and man what a fun placement that is! NOT!  So toodaloo Pluto, thanks for the trip deep into my subconscious mind, my wounds, karma, and secrets.  Thanks for transforming my entire psyche.  Have a nice trip to...my...shit...1st house. You're gonna be transformed, little duckling!  Anyway, the 1st is better than the 12th, kid!  The full moon in Virgo illuminates your 8th house of debt and taxes, and also other people's stuff.  Get your tax return squared away.  You might also just decide you're done doing the heavy emotional lifting in a relationship, or something alone those lines. 


PISCES - Welcome to the jungle, Pisces! It's your turn with Saturn.  Actually I feel like Saturn would have a very well manicured lawn, not a jungle.  And he will make sure your metaphorical front yard is in top shape too.  Saturn in your 1st house asks you to get serious about who you are and what makes you identify as you do.  The 1st house is who you are in the world and how you present yourself. Saturn will show you yourself with great clarity, ready or not.  Pluto is tidying up from his "party" in the 11th house for the last 15 years.  There he has been transforming your connections with peer groups, colleagues, and friends. He's also made you take a hard look at your hope and dreams and decide what stays and what goes.   Heaviness around friendships should lighten up over the next weeks and months, and you'll feel like you have a better handle on what you want and need from those connections.  Finally, the full moon in Virgo hits your 7th house. You might feel critical of a partner or spouse during this lunation.  You might also get a contract for a job or project.  Generally, feelings about partners will be magnified during this time.

Buckle your seatbelts, but first...poetry - BitchScopes for Feb 27th - March 6th

Well, this is nice for a change - there are minimal major transits this week. There are always minor transits, but a bitch can only focus on so much, and I prefer to play with asteroids rather than semi-whatevers. There’s plenty of asteroid activity. The reason I love working with the goddess asteroids is well, because they are the goddesses. But they give us deeper self awareness. I feel like they are a little more personal in their energy, and a little easier to access for whatever reason.

So the major transits this week are Venus conjunct Jupiter and Mercury conjunct Saturn - and both of these transits are once-a-year events. The former gives a pleasant and peaceful vibe to the week. The latter favors logic and reason for any problem solving that needs to be done.  It is interesting to note that Saturn will be at 29°, so the traits of Saturn will feel heavier. Rules will be important.  You'll need to be disciplined if you want to reach your goal. There is an order to things that we will be asked to observe. Duty, carrying your assigned burden, and acknowledging authority (barf) are themes to be aware of. Humanitarian issues will feel extra urgent and critical this week and next, (and there are plenty of them).  

Monday Mercury conjunct Eris is bold and fearless expression. (Yesss bitch! ) Tuesday is interesting, because while that spicy Eris energy might cause some kerfuffles in relationships, that Chariklo influence is compassionate and forgiving. Wednesday seems to be a little more focused on your path and mission. Are you walking the walk? Are you headed in the right direction? If you’ve been doing any inner work or trying to increase your awareness of how you tick, you’re doing well. It’s the people who aren’t reading this shit that are likely to get a shake up when things like eclipses roll around. Thursday looks very smart and logical. And then the weekend is colored with this air of forgiveness, compassion, getting aligned, having peace.

March is going to be an intense month of changes for the planets. We will feel those shifts without a doubt. Mostly they will feel like we hit rough seas or turbulence. We are likely to feel just a bit bajiggity. Here’s what goes down in March:

  • Mercury changes signs TWICE
  • Venus changes signs
  • The Sun changes signs
  • The Spring Equinox happens
  • Mars (finally!) changes signs (has been in Gemini for 7 months and normally spends about 6 weeks in a sign!)
  • Saturn changes signs! - Saturn has been in Aquarius for 2.5 years so this is very significant
  • Pluto changes signs! - Pluto has been in Capricorn for 15 years, disrupting the Patriarchy and all of the other foundations of the US. Now he will be shaking up who we are as a culture, a society, a community. He will be forcing us to look at humanitarian issues, and its bound to get ugly. I kinda can’t wait.
This is A LOT!!! So much pivots this month. So enjoy this week to the best of your ability. Embrace anything that feels good. Rest. Next week Saturn enters Pisces and we have a Virgo Full Moon (not my favorite).  It’s not like you can really prepare for these things, per se, or even that you need to. But this is an invitation to take a deep breath.  


In light of all that, I’m going to do a little guided bibliomancy for each sign. I like to use Poetry. (This is so Mercury in Pisces!) I’m not sure yet who I’m going to quote, but each sign’s snippet will be properly attributed to the authors. Get some tea, light a candle, and let’s get hippie with it. *snaps*



ARIES - “My bees get their first supplies from the catkins of the willows. How quickly they find them out! If but one catkin opens anywhere within range, a bee is on hand that very hour to rifle it, and it is a most pleasing experience to stand near the hive some mild April day and see them come pouring in with their little baskets packed with this first fruitage of the spring.” - John Burroughs “The Pastoral Bees” from Locusts and wild Honey

Interestingly enough, a significant amount of activity is happening in your 11th house, which is very much where I would place bees if bees were into astrology. Maybe they are, I’ve never asked one. Maybe you should ask…



TAURUS - “I think people make a very big mistake by not showing their human sides. More often than not, if people can see the sensitive side of (people) in business, they relate better to them. They realize we all have frailties just like they do, and it really strengthens relationships.” - Janet L. Robinson, NYT CEO.

Much of your chart activity is happening in your 12th house of spiritual and inner life, and your 10th house of public life. Can you merge them, or at least introduce them to each other?
(“People” is actually “women” in the original quote, but that pissed me off, and I’m sure if you have been following me for a minute, you know why.)

GEMINI - “Let’s conjure up from the depths of our souls: the truest, most beautiful lives we can imagine. The truest, most beautiful families we can fathom. The truest, most beautiful world we can hope for. Let’s put it all on paper. Let’s look at what we’ve written and decide that these are not pipe dreams; these are our marching orders. These are the blueprints for our lives, our families, and the world. May the invisible become visible. May our dreams become our plans” Glennon Doyle, Untamed

Your 11th and 9th houses are particularly activated this week, and they are both visionary and idealistic. Dream the impossible dream. The realists of the world depend on you to do so.


CANCER - “Out of the mud two strangers came, and caught me splitting wood in the yard. And one of them put me off my aim by hailing cheerily “hit them hard!” I knew pretty well why he dropped behind and let the other go on a way. I knew pretty well what he had in mind: he wanted to take my job for pay.” - Robert Frost, Two Tramps in Mud Time

The 2 areas of your chart I am drawn to this week are the 10th and the 8th. The 10th is for career aspirations. The 8th holds traumas, and burdens and secrets. Hold your ideas close to your vest.


LEO - “Europe clogged my heart with all the joys of life. The only cure, the doctor said, was to cleanse myself completely of any culture, inspiration, or authenticity, so he prescribed a healthy but not deadly dose of Hollywood.” - Atticus, The Dark Between the Stars

I'm hoping it is somewhat obvious why this quote is appropriate for Leo. But it is also fitting because the most activated areas of your chart are the 7th and 9th houses, where we fall in love with others and with experiences.  Do not seek the cure for a heart clogged with joys!


VIRGO - "May I feel said he, I'll squeal said she, just once said he, its fun said she.  May I touch said he, how much said she, a lot said he, why not said she" - e.e. cummings, 16

The areas of your chart that are most activated this week are the 8th and the 6th. There's definitely some sexual energy happening in your body. What you do with it is your choosing.  


LIBRA - "I caught myself smiling thinking of a memory we have yet to make; I'll let you know when we get there." - J. Iron Word, Future Memories

Your 5th and 7th houses are activated this week, and those relate to romance, joy, sex, and relationship.  It's a good week to remember how silly/stupid and important this kind of love is, and nurture it wherever you find it. 



SCORPIO -"When it comes to who my children are, I don't want to be an Expectations Parent.  I don't want my kids striving to meet an arbitrary list of preconceived goals I have created for them.  I want to be a Treasure Hunt Parent.  I want to encourage my children to spend their lives digging, uncovering more and more about who they already are, and then sharing what they discover with those lucky enough to be trusted by them" - Glennon Doyle, Untamed

Your 4th and 6th houses are strong this week.  What are the habits that make your home or family the way it is? Can you derive something useful for your parenting practice from this quote? Or maybe you need to apply this to your expectations of yourself...


SAGITTARIUS - "She was no one to me on a train in May and everyone to me under the stars in June" - Atticus, The Dark between the Stars

Romance and friends are the flavor of this week in your stars.  Cherish the people you spend time with and fall in love with. Until you can't cherish them anymore, and then, cherish yourself, and surround yourself with people who cherish you. 



CAPRICORN - "Spades take up leaves no better than spoons, and bags full of leaves are light as balloons...next to nothing for weight; and since they grew duller from contact with earth, next to nothing for color.  Next to nothing for use. But a crop is a crop, and who's to say where the harvest shall stop?" 
- Robert Frost, Gathering Leaves

This week your 4th and 2nd houses are more active.  The 4th house is the "home and family" sector of your chart, and the 2nd house is "earned money".  Things hold whatever value you assign to them...a crop is a crop. Or is it? You get to decide what to value within your own family.  


AQUARIUS - "She was just my kind of crazy" - Atticus, The Dark Between the Stars

I selected this line for selfish reasons because I am an Aquarius, and we all know I'm crazy.  But for every crazy, there is a person out there that will cherish that flavor of crazy.  We all deserve that.  Don't try to cram yourself into society's stupid little square cubbies.  Your abstract star shaped form is just perfect as it is. 


PISCES - "Someone sent a band to my house, and it started playing at five in the morning. I took this as a sign that God wanted me to sing!" - Hafiz, I Took It As a Sign

Your 2nd and 12th houses are most active this week.  The 2nd is not just money, but what you place value on. The 12th is your inner or spiritual life.  Whatever you decide is a sign IS a sign.  If you place value on music, you'll hear God in music. If you place value on gardening, you'll see God in every carrot top poking through the soil.  Where  you get your signs is less important than recognizing them because it gives life meaning.
