No, your sun sign didn’t change

Sheesh. You’d think that reporter would have asked ONE astrologer before spreading that completely misleading story all over the place.

Look: There’s an astronomer’s zodiac, and there’s an astrologer’s zodiac. They’re not the same thing. Every few years, some asshole astronomer sends out a press release trying to cause a big flap: “Look, there’s a 13th sign! That’ll show those stupid astrologers, because we are SCIENTISTS!!”

Even though, you know, they don’t know a damned thing about how astrologers actually work.

So go on about your lives. You’re still whatever sign you always were.

Eclipse

January 3, 2011January 3, 2011 ~ susie

Solar, tomorrow. Later tomorrow, the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction. Ought to be good for me, since it trines my natal J/U conjunction the midheaven….

Oh, and meteor showers!

Tonight

December 29, 2010 ~ susie

Mercury stations direct. Road Runner stopped at edge of cliff, etc.

Lunar eclipse

December 21, 2010December 20, 2010 ~ susie

At 3:13 a.m today.

And kids? This one’s a doozy, especially if you’re a cardinal sign.

Eclipse extravaganza

December 20, 2010 ~ susie

Lunar eclipse tonight, the first time an eclipse has coincided with a solstice since December 21, 1638. (The next one won’t come around again until 2094.)

The Ursids meteor shower will also be taking place. CityStateTime.com reports that this particular annual show is rarely witnessed compared to its brighter counterparts, but stargazers will have an especially exceptional chance to view the display this year because of the eclipse’s darkened sky.

Conjunction

December 13, 2010December 13, 2010 ~ susie ~ 5 Comments

Mercury retro exactly conjunct Mars and Pluto in Capricorn (and square Saturn) at 11:15 EST today. Hmm. I’d expect aggressive messages of control, even threats. Let’s see how this one works out.

Don’t think twice, it’s all right

December 11, 2010December 10, 2010 ~ susie

Bob Dylan with Eric Clapton

!@#$% Mercury retro

December 6, 2010 ~ susie ~ 7 Comments

It starts Friday, but we’re in the shadow phase, where shit starts to happen. And what could be more classically Mercury retro, communication-gone-awry than losing your goddamned cell phone, which is my primary means of organization? Not just phone numbers but emails and appointments… grrr.

I was running errands downtown, I checked at every single place we were. Nothing.

So I had it shut off and bought a used one on ebay last night, which should be here by Wednesday. But I’ll be very cranky until then.
