Happy Mercury retrograde!

~ susie

Since yesterday, I showed up for an appointment an hour late, and my aqua therapy appointment was cancelled because THE FUCKING POOL BLEW UP and the building was flooded!

Oh, and Russia accidentally bombed one of their own cities. Classic.

Tonight’s eclipse

~ susie

Can this eclipse late tonight/ early tomorrow possibly live up to its billing? Sure sounds aggressive, especially for Libra, Aries, Capricorn, and Cancer with planets in late degrees. (Personally, I think of earthquakes, literal and symbolic.) It’s a basic rule of astrology that transits don’t have a strong effect on you unless you have related placements in your birth chart.

But it does sound significant. The last one I can remember that got this much hype was the Grand Fixed Cross Eclipse of 1999 — and it more than lived up to it. (Think back to the second half of ’99 — I’ll bet something big happened to you or someone close to you.)

Solar eclipses double down on the energy present in a new moon and require a different approach; it ain’t about intention setting, seed planting or menstrual blood sipping, folks. Neigh. We’re dealing with some cataclysmic shifts, definitive closings and unexpected inceptions as eclipses are the most powerful impetus for change. Because this new moon/solar eclipse is happening very, very close to Jupiter*, planet of dumb luck, quick cash, full pockets, abandon and abundance we can rest assured that whatever changes take place are in the best interest of our personal expansion and to our ultimate benefit.

*Note to self: Buy lottery tickets!

 

Energy tsunami

Yeah yeah yeah, there’s nothing to astrology. Nope. You know, because you just KNOW. Because you’re so much more rational than deluded people. (Like moi.) Me, I’m just the ADD person who’s been studying it for 40 years, and I’ll just note that with my attention span (or lack thereof), I could never have followed it for this long without it rewarding my focus.

Anyway, everyone’s really irritated lately. Under the current astrological weather patterns, I’d say if you are living an inauthentic life (and God knows, we all have for at least some period of time), well, good luck. Remember what I said about Pluto in Aquarius and tearing shit down that needs it? Did you see those kids in the Tennessee statehouse this week? Shit will be torn down, bet on it.

Goddamned Pluto in Aquarius

~ susie

And a new Pink Moon in Libra! Apparently Pluto really, really wants me to stop sleeping. (You should have seen me trying to figure out what was wrong with my site yesterday on four hours’ sleep.)

Thank you all for your concern. Yes, I have a CPAP and use it faithfully. Yes, I take magnesium every night. I use dark computer screens at night. And since this started, I switched to paper books at night.

I just want to sleep again without thinking about it. Boo hoo.

Ahem

I know I wrote that people would be restless and breaking shit up, and that it would be both of the personal and the collective kind. I also said I was worried about bombs and wars, I just didn’t expect it all to happen escalate this fast.

For those of you who don’t scorn astrology, we’re coming into some very interesting times.

Two new moons in Aries are about to happen — one occurring on March 21,  and then a new moon eclipse in Aries on April 20. It’s kind of a big deal. This will give everyone the chance to radically reshape their lives in some way. In astrology, the significance of something is determined by how rare it is,  and this rarely happens. (Like Pluto going into Aquarius right now, which last happened 1778 to 1798. And Saturn leaving Aquarius and going into Pisces, which last happened in 1993. But I digress.)

Aries is the cardinal sign that starts the beginning of spring. Cardinal signs (yoo hoo, cardinal sign right here!) are all about initiating change. So I’m kind of looking forward to it. I’m pretty restless myself.

The March 21 new moon takes place at 0° Aries. The zero degree in astrology is at the beginning of a sign, and Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. Start that new chapter! (Literally, for us writers.)
The April 20 eclipse occurs at 29° Aries. In astrology, the 29th degree is called the critical degree. It usually represents things coming to an end but since this will be in Aries, it’s about closing a door and opening up a new one. 

 

Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) will be hit hardest by these new moons, but it affects everyone to some extent. This energy is about re-defining what independence looks like. (This comes up at a time when this Libra is damned sick and tired of being independent, so that tracks.)

Anger is often the crowbar individuals and nations use to break themselves out of ruts. I’m kind of worried about more earthquakes, bombings and wars, but que sera, sera. The effects will be global and individual. For cardinal signs, the energy will be about breaking cycles and creating new directions.

As a collective, this challenges us all to think about where in life we’re ready to break some shit up and start over, going after what we truly want out of life. Always wanted to be a poet? Start poet-ing!

Your destiny will find you anyway, but it’s easier to swim with the tide than against it.

Is it just me

~ susie

Or is everyone really, really stressed and antsy right now? People keep calling to ask if it’s a Mercury retrograde (it’s not). The next one starts April 21.

Pluto is changing signs (that only happens every 15-20 years) and it’s going into Aquarius after all this time in Capricorn. That sucked. The last time Pluto was in Capricorn, we had the American Revolution — which was needed in retrospective, but not so easy to live through.

Pluto is the planet of destruction, death, and transformation, so what will that look like in Aquarius? PLUTO WANTS CHANGE. What isn’t working that you’re trying to suppress? If you’re interested, you can read more about it here.
