Cosmic Candor

Well, I must say it’s going to be a great week — how can it not when so many of us have the day off from work to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr! But it actually gets even better than that. Astrologer Maria DeSimone has a new weekly feature at Tarot.com that breaks down the…

Here comes the Sun, nah na nah na, and I say it’s better than alright because it’s in airy Aquarius! The Sun moves into breezy, brainy, independent and zany Aquarius on Saturday, January 19 — the same day Mercury moves into Aquarius — and it signals a beginning of the end of the longest, coldest…

We’re coming up on some strong Aquarius energy this weekend! Both the Sun and Mercury move into this intellectual and independent sign on Saturday, January 19, but personally I’m more excited about Mercury’s move here. As a Gemini, Mercury is my ruling planet, which makes me mental — literally. I live in my own head…

Love gets crazy sometimes, and we don’t always understand why. But not this time! If it happens to you this evening, the reason is very clear: Venus is conjunct Pluto on January 16. A couple of things could happen with this aspect. Namely, you’ll either have an intense romantic experience, or you’ll drive away the…

I found myself singing in the shower for no reason today. I’m not one of those people who does that … ever! For shame! My singing voice is like gravel in a bucket. Then I realized there IS a reason: The Moon is in Pisces. As a Gemini with a Capricorn Moon, I’m a pretty…

Calling all lovebirds, it’s time to make it or break it! January is dubbed “breakup month” because more relationships break up during this cold, dreary month than any other. I just read that six out of 10 couples will split in January, and this is credited to things like wanting to make a change for…

Most of us made our New Year resolutions a couple of weeks ago, but I decided to wait. Why? Because I was holding out for the New Moon in Capricorn on Jan. 11, 2013. New Moon’s are always about new beginnings, but this one has powerful Capricorn energy to back it up. Capricorn is patient,…

Guess what — I have no planets in my 12th House! In Astrology, the 12th House is all about unconditional love, emotions, sensitivity, privacy and imagination. Uh-oh, am I doomed? No, I’m not. It really just means I don’t have any personal planets that are ruled by the 12th House, so my 12th House energy…

Well, I hate to keep going on and on about Venus in Capricorn and what it means for love, but Master Astrologer Jeff Jawer just wrote the greatest blog about it and I simply must share. I’ve already mentioned how the love planet’s stay in Capricorn from January 8 to February 1, 2013 will put…

So, as I mentioned yesterday, love planet Venus is moving into Capricorn on Tuesday, Jan. 8, putting a serious spin on relationships. This is, of course, the general energy of Venus right now — but did you know you all have a personal Venus sign, too? Wherever the love planet was when you were born…
