Cosmic Candor

I don’t believe in fairy tales. I’m a little too jaded at this point in my life to believe in things like fated love or forever soul mates. But according to Astrologer Maria DeSimone, this week might change my mind. That’s because the planets are setting us up for lots and lots of sweet, sweet…

I’ve been trying to figure out my love life for a long time now. I’ve survived umpteen boyfriends, a 10-year marriage and then another umpteen boyfriends only to come out of it all dazed and confused. I’m in a relationship now, but honestly that doesn’t make it any easier to understand all the ups and…

It’s just three weeks until spring! I can see the light at the end of my cold, dark winter tunnel. And all we have to do now is get through Mercury Retrograde and the first half of madcap March. The March Horoscopes indicate it’s going to be a lively month overall, though it gets off…

As an Astrology writer, I often hear from women with questions about love and dating and relationships, and sadly I hear from way too many people who are brokenhearted. Many times these people are eager to know if Astrology can offer any insight or advice for getting back together with someone who broke their heart,…

I must say I’m pretty excited about love planet Venus moving into tender Pisces yesterday (February 25, 2013). This transit is supposed to make us feel drunk on love for the next three weeks, and as someone who’s usually just drunk on cheap Chardonnay, I’ll take it. Venus is “exalted” in Pisces, which means this…

Today’s Full Moon in Virgo is a beautiful sight if you can see it from your city, but let me tell you this: It’s playing some tricks on you! The Full Moon, which occurs at 3:26 p.m. ET in the analytical sign of Virgo, is making some challenging aspects to Neptune and Jupiter that are…

I keep talking about Mercury going retrograde in Pisces tomorrow, and how it will cause disruption to our lives … but the truth is it will affect everyone differently. I’m a Gemini, and Mercury is my ruling planet, so it does tend to affect me more than most other signs (Mercury also rules Virgo). But…

I admit it: I don’t do well when I’m living in the unknown or feeling like my life is out of control. Which is how it always feels during Mercury Retrograde! And this Mercury Retrograde (from February 23 to March 17) is happening in super-sensitive Pisces, so I expect my anxiety will be even worse…

Mercury, my ruling planet, is going retrograde this Saturday, February 23, and I’m always interested to see how it affects my love life. Because it always does! Last time Mercury went retrograde in November 2012, my love life kind of stalled out. Nothing bad happened, but nothing good happened either. And I can remember having…

Mercury Retrograde is never very much fun, and as a Gemini it always seems to affect me more because Mercury is my ruling planet. But this time Mercury is going retrograde in spiritual Pisces, and I’m totally OK with that! Mercury goes retrograde in Pisces from this Saturday, Feb. 23 through Sunday, March 17. And…
