Ellen’s Two Cents: May 14, 2012
Monday, May 14th, 2012Words when spoken from a place of truth can move mountains. This is especially true today when Mercury in powerful Taurus forms a triangle with Mars in earthy Virgo and Pluto in practical Capricorn. This configuration gives you the patience and focus to get to the bottom a persistent problem and clean it up once [...]
Ellen’s Two Cents: May 8, 2012
Tuesday, May 8th, 2012Prickly is the word that may describe the way you or another close to you feels today. Critical Mars in Virgo gets under your skin and you don’t feel shy about complaining. You want to be free but someone close by is nagging about details, details. You’re not going to be able to orchestrate everything [...]
Ellen’s Two Cents: May 2, 2012
Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012Today is another long void moon day–see my entry for April 30, 2012. Use Virgo Moon’s detail-oriented nature to help you clear the decks by getting caught up with filing and administrative tasks, but hold off decision-making and important meetings. Moon’s entry into Libra at 10:04pm Eastern brings people out of their shell. Tweet This [...]
Ellen’s Two Cents: May 1, 2012
Tuesday, May 1st, 2012With moon ensconced in Virgo, there are now 5 planets in earth signs today. Practicality and common sense are today’s watch-words. Moon and Mars in Virgo asks you to pay attention to detail and organization. Pluto in Capricorn pushes you to be thorough, and Sun/Jupiter in Taurus slow you down to be deliberate and think [...]
Ellen’s Two Cents: April 30, 2012
Monday, April 30th, 2012Make decisions and get pressing matters out of the way early before the Moon goes void at 10:17 am Eastern. A void of course moon occurs when the Moon has completed its last major aspect in a sign and lasts until it enters the next sign. Today that doesn’t occur until 7:02 pm when it [...]
Engage Brain Before Engaging Mouth
Saturday, March 3rd, 2012As I was going about my tasks this morning my thoughts drifted to a woman in my workplace who tends to be critical–of others, not herself–and is not only vocal about sharing her criticism, but abrasive in her delivery. I have been employed in many work places and, like the water cooler, such a person [...]
Happy Labor Day!
Monday, September 5th, 2011Happy Labor Day! How appropriate this holiday honoring workers occurs during the time of year when our minds turn towards work–when the Sun makes its annual pilgrimage through humble Virgo. Two weeks ago, the Sun sailed through its own sign of Leo and we enjoyed the laid-back, dog days of August’s heat and humidity. Not [...]
Republican Wins and the Moon in Virgo
Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010Congratulations to the winners of yesterday’s midterm elections. As the polls predicted, Republicans made many gains; they picked up control of the House of Representatives and some senate seats and in my own state of PA, they also won the governorship. If you were a subscriber to my newsletter Celestial Currents, you would have read [...]
Take Advantage of Today’s Opportunity to Clean House
Sunday, August 29th, 2010One of the great benefits of astrology is you can look ahead to see what energies will be in play and then use them to advance your objectives and goals. Today there is a grand trine in the Earth signs. Sun in Virgo is trine Pluto in Capricorn and both are trined by the Moon. [...]
