Wow, what a mess November was. Mercury has been retrograde since November 6, messing with Election Day, Thanksgiving and everything in between. But now, finally, Mercury goes direct this Monday, Nov. 26, and I for one am doing a happy dance. Mercury rules communication, travel, technology and … ME. That’s because I’m a Gemini, so…

Here we are, smack dab in the middle of the holiday season. How did this happen? Last I checked it was still summer and I was camping up a storm. Now the only camping I see are folks on the news sleeping outside of Best Buy, waiting to get their greedy mitts on the latest,…

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you’re all preparing to gather with family and friends to celebrate the things you’re grateful for. That sounds a little hokey, but I mean it. And you know what? If you’re not getting together with family and friends, that’s ok, too. It’s perfectly fine to give thanks for turkey TV dinners…

Hello, sunny Sagittarius! Let me tell you, you’re a welcome ray of light piercing through what has felt like Scorpio darkness for way too long. The Sun moves into Sagittarius on Wednesday, Nov. 21, and I’ve been waiting for it like a turkey waits for Thanksgiving to pass so he can let out a sigh…

Love planet Venus has been in peaceful, balanced Libra since October 28, but I have to admit I hardly noticed. Frankly, my own love life has been more of a struggle for peace and balance since then, and I’m pretty sure it’s because Mercury has been retrograde and the Sun and Mercury are both in…

I’m so excited for Thanksgiving! Next to Halloween, it’s my all-time favorite holiday. That’s because it’s all about food and family, which are the things that make life so delicious. Of course, those are also the things that make life so complicated, and this year it could get more complicated than ever thanks to Mercury…

Calling all control freaks! (Hey, that’s me!) Well, OK, to be fair I don’t think I try to control other people, but I definitely keep pretty tight control of myself and my personal boundaries. Which is why I don’t think I’ll mind when Mars moves into Capricorn on Friday, Nov. 16. Mars is the planet…

Well, it seems everyone around me is lashing their tongue swords today, and as I reported yesterday I know this is because of Mercury moving into scathing Scorpio. I’m doing it myself, too. I’ve said a few bitchy things today, but fortunately I’m directing my own bitterness and anger toward celebrity hairstyles instead of stabbing…

Oh great. Mercury moves back into Scorpio today, adding more fuel to the flames of paranoia already burning hot from Mercury Retrograde. Or wait, maybe that’s just my cheeks that are burning with rage. Mercury, planet of communication, becomes very serious while in Scorpio. And it also makes us extremely emotional — it’s a time…

I just balanced my checkbook, and let me tell you there’s, er, a little less cash money in there than I thought. And sure, I can point a finger at Nordstrom, but I can sure point another one at planet Mercury. Mercury rules trade and commerce, so when Mercury is retrograde it can affect our…
