Re-Feminist History (aka Bitchstory)

This week feels like it picks up from last week’s theme of “raw potential” and adds some “fate” to the mix. There is a lot of kismet type of energy this week. A majority of that energy is contributed by the Nodes of the Moon, which are said to be the nodes of fate. The North node is what we should be seeking and the south node is our experiences that we draw upon to get there. My son and I were just talking about Star Wars (we were assigning a Star Wars character to each cat, if you must know what kind of deep, intellectual discourse goes on around here), and when I talk about the nodes of fate I am really drawn to the Luke Skywalker story. If you are a Star Wars “Noob”, basically Luke was a humble farm boy (albeit on a distant planet in a time long, long ago…) who discovers the truth of his “real” parents (a Queen and a “bad boy” who was foretold to be the Chosen One who would bring balance between good and evil, no pressure. He chooses evil, but his offspring actually do ultima...

Alrighty, let’s talk about the week of May 15-22. Get a glass of wine - it’s appropriate. First up, we have 3 planets changing signs - Jupiter, the Sun, and Mars . Anytime a planet enters a sign (in direct motion), it begins at 0°. Like 29°, Zero degrees is considered “critical”. Zero degrees is always very enthusiastic, like the first day on the job. There is a great deal of potential in that Zero. Also this week, Mercury has just gone direct and is building up some speed and going BACK over his retrograde path. Then we have a New Moon in Taurus. The Sun makes far more aspects than usual, and Pluto makes an appearance too. So let’s do these curtain calls in order of appearance: We start the week with Mars in a trine to Neptune, which is sensitive and sexy. Jupiter is sextile to Chaos, which is raw potential at its finest. It’s like looking in your fridge to see what you can make. You have eggs, so you could make some…eggs. Or you could make a quiche! No, better yet, cookie d...

Howdy-do, Bitches and Bitchsters! We survived another eclipse, huzzah! The chart of the skies this week is packed with Taurus energy: The Sun, North Node, Uranus, and Mercury are all in Taurus. Venus and Mars are both in Cancer. Mars is far ahead of Venus in degrees, but having them both in the same nurturing sign puts the masculine and feminine energy on the same page. But the big news is that Mercury stations direct this week! Huzzah! That happens on Sunday the 14th. And while even I, the covert optimist, are happy to be done with that nonsense, be forewarned - the day that Mercury stations either retrograde or direct is usually the day with the most fuckery. This has been a classic Mercury retrograde for me. We’ve had oddball car behavior, wifi strangeness, bad phone connections for no reason, and things like that. I have been having some super fucking weird dreams, which is unusual for me (Mercury is retrograding in my 12th house). I usually don’t recall my dreams at all, wh...
