Gemini Full Moon
December 2 2:29am EST
December 1 11:29pm PST
As full moons go this one is not too hideous. How about that for a glowing recommendation?
I say that because the Moon is not being beaten up by any other planets. It is just sitting out there on the teeter totter opposite Sun in Sagittarius. Little ol’ Sun in Sag has a nice trine to Mars and a (wide) conjunction with Venus so that is all groovy and fine making the Sun optimistic and willing to put its energy where its mouth is. Great. Of course, the moon over there on the teeter totter will be picking at the Sun in a somewhat constructive way (sort of) ‘don’t forget about that.’ “Don’t forget about this.” Think of a sibling coming around and clucking at you. That is what makes up this full moon. You have an idea about something and someone says, “yeah, but”. Not to negate your idea but more to remind you of something that later will be useful. Trust me, as a Sag I promise you I have had a lot of Gemini’s in my life (mother) and they pick and pick but they do offer us something valuable. If not now, perhaps later.
Of course, Gemini is the grand communicator so we are all feeling a bit more chatty than usual. Gemini rules magazines and fun short stories; it is also neighbors and siblings. This moon favors short trips so if anyone has been dragging their feet about going somewhere and taking care of some business this is the week to go. It will be quick, fun and productive.
Also a great moon to send a note to a friend or reach out in general. Remember the Sun over there with Mars and Venus is helping us look off into the horizon and set our sights on a target. Perhaps a nice conversation with a friend who feels like a sibling will be very helpful getting you to focus on your goal. Of course, some of us will first need to get a goal? If not, now would be the week to consider acquiring one. And certainly in time for the Sag New Moon in a couple weeks. Use this full moon to help get you ready.

Uranus Turns Direct
Our Wacky Friend Uranus Turns direct on Tuesday December 1 3:28pm (EST)
Uranus which has been retrograde for the last six months will turn direct on December 1. Uranus rules revolutions and rebels. It is only about one thing C*H*A*N*G*E.
It likes to communicate but it must do it on a higher frequency. It rules television and the internet. It can speak to the masses beautifully. It is the one-on- one that it short circuits. And now in this cycle where the universe is demanding we find out personal empowerment but at the same time give up stuff and stretch for the group, Uranus is going to go direct. Boys and girls, we must shake off our fear. Even if we don’t make the changes now, we will soon enough and Uranus is going to help. Because you see, once Uranus goes direct it is going to start heading for Aries. Ever since 2003 Uranus has been in Pisces.
But once it turns direct on Tuesday it is heading for Aries and that is a completely different environment. It won’t get there until June but it will start to feel different as soon as it turns direct. It is heading for a place where “I” comes first. Aries are all about themselves and that is okay. How interesting that we are being pushed this month to find this balance between resources and group and at the same time Uranus is leaving the sign of compassion and mystery and heading for personal vision. It is all about number one. And of course once it hits the early degrees of Aries it is going to lock up with the cardinal crosses between five other planets next summer. Perhaps the pressure we are feeling this cycle will help us later next summer. Whatever this energy brings will also be quite unexpected.
If you need a little bit more information---Uranus is turning direct at 23 degrees of Pisces.
Where does that fit in your chart? Is it your first house of Personal Identity? How about your 2nd house of resources and properties? 7th house of relationships?
Wherever it hits prepare for some changes. Remember, Uranus knows it is in the final days of Pisces so he might have some work for you. ........and Me!

Mercury Square Uranus
Monday November 30, Mercury Square Uranus 2:52 pm (EST)
Twice a year we have a square between Mercury and Uranus. This is that wonky few days where brains and tongues are not working at optimum speed. Our brains are way too fast for our speech. We also can put 2 and 2 together and be WAY off. Sure it looks like a 4 but in about a week you learn that it is 5. The signs involved are Sagittarius and Pisces. Sag has fantastic big ideas about everything. It is not without OPINIONS. And Pisces is dreamy and illusive and hates Opinions since it usually likes to hang out in a grey nebulous area not out front in a bully pulpit. As you can see these two energies are not a good mix.
Where are you mouthing off?
Where are you hiding?
What crazy dreams are you thinking about?
What opinions are you espousing?
This is centered on Monday but we will start to feel it on Saturday and it will dissipate around Wednesday.
Good luck, Gang. If you feel really out there...you are not alone.

Waterloo at the Fed
Mary Plumb has put up a short article on aspects hitting the Federal Reserve chart. We have discussed this a few times but Mary offers up a lot of other thinks that many of you might find very interesting.
Mountain Astrologer on the Newstand!
The New Mountain Astrologer arrived at my house a few weeks ago but I was so busy I didn't have a chance to even crack it until last week. And as always it is pure joy to read. When I read the Magazine I usually poke around, first the cover story "Oh, I'll go for that Water Article first." then usually the interview with a famous astrologer (in this case Alice Howell) and then slowly the rest of the featured articles and the regular columns. For me, it is my perfect gym material. I go to the climbing stair thingy and plop my Mountain Astrologer and the time flies! And to make my legs and ass move that hard and it is 40 minutes later and I don't even realize....well, that should tell you the power of Mountain Astrologer articles.
The Water article is scary. I ain't going to tell you differently. Raye Robertson has written exhaustively about the history of water in the last hundred years referring to both the astrological aspects and the politics. The emphasis is (of course) on outer planet cycles starting with Neptune and Pluto in 1891 through the new Jupiter Saturn cycle in 2020. Using the Sibley chart for the United states there are some real track able astrological events. And next year's Saturn Return in the Sibley chart is another bell ringer for those of us who have quietly sat off in the city, blogging away, living our lives wondering to ourselves, "What is my son going to do for fresh water when he grows up?" Are now saying, "Wait a minute, it is not just my son's future, way off years from now.....it is my future too, and it is now!" "Hello, Telluride Colorado Realtor--I'll take ten acres with a well."
The interview with Alice Howell is inspiring. Her breadth and knowledge of Jungian Astrology is well known and I read her book "Jungian Symbolism in Astrology" many years ago. Now having read the interview I am dying to get her book "Astrological Ages". I didn't realize she went all the way back to the Cancer Age. I think the most I have ever read covers Pisces, Aries and Taurus. I would be fascinated to see what she says about life on Earth during Gemini cycle and Cancer. One thing I loved about Alice's story is that her life in astrology took quite a serpentine path. She found it when she was a teenager, relished it in her twenties, then she got married raised her children and then went back to her astrology with new zest once her children were out of the house. She was in her 50's when she wrote about astrology for the first time. I love that story!!!! It is a beautiful article for those of us who have little ones at home but still have dreams and visions.
For sport I read Dana Gerhardt's "The Noisy birds of Sagittarius". I say for sport because I am a Sag and naturally when I first started reading astrology (13) I went for my own sun sign. Once I really learned about astrology I skipped the general sun sign articles and went for the pieces that has more in depth astrology. A Saturn in Sag is so much more fun to read than a Sun in Sag. But I gotta say, Dana brings in a nice little twist to MY sign. Especially when she talks about all the changes that happened to the world with the transits by Pluto, Neptune, Uranus in the last twenty years. The way she laid it out is very compelling.
Uranus was in Sagittarius from 1981 to 1988, sending a
rebellious, iconoclastic surge through out the decade. Disco gave way to
punk--an intense and frenetic inversion of Sagittarius optimism. Rap, a preachy
musical genre was born as well. The rapper with the sparkly gold
chains was another Sagittarius avatar.
I am about to dive into Shelley Ackerman's article "Saturn to the Eighth Power: A Look Ahead to America's Eight Saturn Return". God knows we have had our asses kicked with Pluto's move into Capricorn I can only guess what is next with a big fat Saturn Return for the US.
Anyway, if you have not read Mountain Astrologer now is the time to hit the newsstands and get one. It is chocked full of well written astrological pieces. And of course Stephanie Austen writes her own beautiful Lunar articles.
Also, if you can't buy the magazine at a local bookstore then go here to purchase them individually or maybe give yourself a year's subscription for Christmas!

VenusSquareNeptune-HappyThanksgiving
Today, Thursday November 26 at 9:53a (EST) Mercury Trines Mars
Of course, in the United States we all celebrate Thanksgiving today and with a Mercury Trine Mars we will have the focus to get a lot done this morning. I know I felt the energy when I woke up at 5am ready to hit the market. Of course 5 am is too early for my local Whole Foods but I did take the energy to write some emails and take on a couple of work tasks. I love Mercury/Mars trines, it is a great day where my brain and my actions are in synch.
And for what it is worth, although this aspect is exact today, we started feeling it a couple days ago. I know for me, I threw an event yesterday that was a ton of work and involved a lot of logistics and a lot of volunteers and it came off without a hitch. I actually thought to myself..'How did that happen?" and I am CONFIDENT it was the Mercury Trine Mars.
I hope you can use the focus to take care of anything you need to do. I'm sure some of you are focused on preparing a meal...but if you are not cooking today, seriously take this energy and tackle something that needs your attention. Your brain and your muscles are totally in synch!
later in the day Venus Squares Neptune 7:15pm (EST) and of course we have been building towards this one all week. I will say that this has been also evident in my own life. I don't want to go into details but there is an old saying, "The unstable mind dominates". What that means is you can take a room full of monks, mediating and chanting totally at peace and if you send in crazy foul mouth swearing (often smelly) person--no one will be aware of the peaceful monks, they will only see the crazed person swearing. Well, ask yourself, during this week did those Unstable Minds get a wee bit louder and a bit more of your attention than usual? Blame this aspect. It all has to do with personal love (venus) and humanitarian love (neptune) being at odds. Where do I feel unloved? Why do I feel alone? and a wee bit of , "Is that all there is to life?' vibes. And always, "what's going on with my money?" --which is so Venus.
Of course the fact that this is happening today on Thanksgiving makes me want to give warning...if someone gets drunk at Thanksgiving, make sure they have a safe ride home. Make sure that you don't personalize anything said today. The crazy wire that is in all of us might have a bit more juice in it today.
Try to be reasonable.
And remember, one scoop of stuffing is probably enough.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Venus Square Jupiter
Venus in Scorpio Squares Jupiter in Aquarius ---Monday November 23 5:39am EST
Scorpio is a water sign and Aquarius is air sign, when they are in square to one another we can expect the wind to whip up the water. And when one of the planets is gigantic Jupiter --well expect a hurricane. I'm not talking literally, global warming withstanding, we are still out of Hurricane Season. But what about the emotions inside and outside. Horn honks a plenty, bosses with short fuses, lovers make one faux pas after another. Even friends will bug. And god help you, if you have to do anything for or with a group today. They will be way out of whack and all the good intentions in the world won't be worth the hassle of dealing with THOSE personalities.
I expect some shitty stories in the news. And this is a very wonky day for our portfolios and paychecks. We just even glance at anything and it will cost us a lot of money.
But if you must be out in the world today---Keep your Ipod on all day and talk to no one. That is a way to escape the CrazyTown energy.
Edited to ADD:
Well, today both the stock market and Gold were up today. The Dow quite a bit (over 100) and Gold up 18 dollars. This is NOT good for the US Dollar (Venus). When both commodoties and stocks are up...people are looking for a place to invest for fear the value of the dollar is falling.
Perfectly VenusSquareJupiter...

News from the Moon
As indicated on my new moon article I pointed out that Scorpio, the investing sign, was terribly challenged by two Aquarius planets and Chiron. I said that our money would be in trouble and the stuff coming up now would have long implications. Well, word yesterday (still new moon) from the Housing Battle Ground and it is not pretty.
The effects of this will be long reaching. I know, "No, shit, Sherlock."
The latest evidence was a report Thursday that a rising proportion of
fixed-rate home loans made to people with good credit are sinking into
foreclosure. That's a shift from last year, when riskier subprime loans drove
the housing crisis.
The report from the Mortgage Bankers Association also found that 14 percent
of homeowners with a mortgage were either behind on payments or in foreclosure
at the end of September. It was a record-high figure for the ninth straight
quarter.
The data suggest the housing market and the broader recovery will
remain under pressure from the surge in home-loan
defaults, especially as unemployment keeps rising. Lost jobs are the main reason
homeowners are falling behind on their mortgages.
The effects of this will be long reaching. I know, "No, shit, Sherlock."
Yesterday---Did you feel it?
First of all, many apologies that I didn't get this up yesterday. I was out the door so early and didn't get back until much later so I missed posting this aspect but god knows I FELT it.
Yesterday (November 19 3:22 EST) Venus in Scorpio formed a perfect square with Mars in Leo. Tensions with loved ones or friends could have been very pointed perhaps heated. Finances could have easily felt pinched (Scorpio). You may have felt like breaking away and doing something very dramatic (Leo). "Dear family, there is a chicken in the fridge--I've moved to Barcelona-- Mom". If you felt extreme high (doubtful) or extreme low (likely) it may have had to do with this square between Mars and Venus. The tension of the two fighters (who normally love to do the deed) will be evident all 28 days of this lunar cycle however the worst of it could be felt personally yesterday, today and tomorrow...the good news is Venus does move quick so she's backing off....to only get into it with Jupiter next week.
Put on your Kevlar suit and don't personalize anything...even if you think you are being punished by the Gods...you are not. Shit happens.

Scorpio Versus Aquarius--Scorpio NEW MOON face off!
Tomorrow 11/16 at 2:14 pm (EST) is Scorpio New Moon. It is going to be a doozey of a 28 day cycle with a huge emphasis on Community versus Personal resources. For some people it is not going to be easy. But for you, my friends who have been working on this information all year (at least, bit by bit) I expect big efforts on your part to make this cycle work for you. If you are frozen in fear and won't budge come back here and read this post.
As always I post my complete article on Margaret site which you can find HERE. But here is a snippet. Go to the link for the complete article.
Spine tingling Scorpio
I highly recommend picking up the current
Mountain Astrologer so you can read Stephanie Austin’s take on Scorpio New Moon.
I always appreciate her thoughtful analysis of lunar astrological aspects
and this one is no exception. I especially noted the following.
(Oct/Nov issue 147 page 106).
“The Sabian symbol for 25
Scorpio tells us to look beneath the surface of current events: ‘An x-ray
photograph; the capacity to acquire a knowledge of the structural factors in all
existence.’ Where do you need to shine your light? What needs to be tackled and
transformed? Who’s on your team? Watch for important clues on November 17
when Mars activates the August 5 eclipse point (14 Aquarius/Leo).
Remember: “You only really discover the strength of your spine when your
back is up against the wall (James Geary).
If you didn’t pick up on
it from her quote let me spell it out. This lunar cycle is going to be on the
tough side. Why? Because for most of us--- change is a bitch.
Scorpio is not what you call a “light’ sign but at the same
time it is NOT as sinister and dark as many astrologers have
written. Yes, Scorpio is intense but not because it wants to be
intense but because it knows that the only way for it to survive is to die and
then be reborn----EVERY friggin’ day. Of course they don’t
actually die but some part of them must. Is it an opinion that dies and
changes? Is it a relationship? Is it an idea they have about
someone? Of course this is pretty scary stuff for Scorpio and when they
get scared their reaction is to HOLD on even tighter. “I don’t want to
die! I love my world, my patterns, I love everything I have-- I am hanging
on for dear life.” I don’t want to change! And it is that
holding on which makes them intense. It is also the part of them
that seeks power.
Wherever you have Scorpio in your chart is
where you hold on for dear life and where you try to hold on to
power. Scorpio on the 7th house? You hold on to your
relationships like they are specimens in a jar. In the 10th house you hold
on to your career as if it is the only source of oxygen. Your 2nd
house? God help you if you ever need to sell stocks or property, you would
rather take gas. If you don’t know your chart you can go here to
learn more: http://www.astro.com/
So with that
background doesn’t it make sense to you that Scorpio rules taxes, lawyers, bank
loans, crime, IRAs, investments, sex and resources? It also rules
the sex organs, intestines and plumbing. What goes IN better be fresh and
what goes OUT better be waste. Get it? Are some of you
doing the opposite? This would be the cycle where that will need to change
–big time.
Okay, all of that is good, but what about
the ‘back against the wall” part? Over in Aquarius are
Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune on top of each other. We have been talking
about these three all year. These are the planets (technically Chiron is not a
planet but let’s not get bogged down with that right now) that are ushering in
the Age of Aquarius. They are pushing us to find our tribe, to think about
the group, they are saying to us that we could slog through the world by
ourselves and get nowhere fast or we can find a group of like minded people and
get something really accomplished. Think about the group is what
they say! Okay, I get it. I watch Current TV, I’m green, I
volunteer a lot. I can check off all that Aquarius stuff on my
list.
But here is the rub. This New moon,
the Sun and the Moon are completely at odds (square) with Jupiter, Chiron and
Neptune. The New Moon in Scorpio is shouting “I’m not giving up my ______
(fill in the blank) for the group.”
And the three of them in
Aquarius are saying back, “Great, hold on to ____ but don’t blame us if
you end up all alone!”

Sun Square Pluto November 10
A couple times a year we get this aspect. In this case, The Sun in Scorpio will Square off with Jupiter in Aquarius. It is kind of funny when these two planets get into it with each other because in many ways they are similar. Jupiter's good natured buoyancy goes hand in hand with The Sun's natural tendency for enthusiasm. Jupiter's goal oriented vision supports the Sun's ability to focus. Interestingly, Jupiter is the largest planet in size. But of course The Sun which is not a planet (it is a Star) is mammoth in comparison to Jupiter. So, who do you think might win? Possibly The Sun, right? Maybe. But perhaps it is just gravitational pull that is more on its' side. Either way, we may feel all the pull of Sun in Scorpio today. Scorpio is all about death and rebirth, law and resources like loans and TBills and the Treasury too. Scorpio is about empowerment although it can be confused with power. There is a difference---(do you know it?). And Scorpio is focused on plumbing and all the the pipes in the system that flush out the bad stuff and bring in the good. In the body it rules the intestines. And for all those gals who read Cosmopolitan Magazine you know that Scorpio rules SEX (god, they went on and on about that in Cosmo).
Anyway, Jupiter in Aquarius is about groups of people who are like minded. Community oriented endeavors. "All for One and One for All." It is reaching a big goal that takes care of the group. It is about Friends and associates and perhaps that family of choice. How do we fix the problems in our group and make sure all are taken care of?
Do you see how there could be a conflict. If you are worried about your own empowerment or your own resources you sure as shit don't want to worry about the community. And if you are all worried about the community and not thinking about your own finances or resources ...well, you are going to be in trouble real quick.
The key is to find the balance between both energies. They are both right. How can you make both sides work today and later this week. The aspect is centered today at 1:41 pm (EST). But we should be feeling it for a couple of days. We probably started to vibe in on it on Sunday or Monday.
God knows I have felt it. I would have posted this earlier for you (The community) but I have been busy with Jury Duty (Scorpio) and of course I much rather have been home doing what I want to do and taking care of business but I couldn't get out of it (Square) so I am resigned to be the best Juror I can be. All Rise!

Venus Sextile Pluto---Grab a Thermal!
On November 9 at 12:34am (EST) (November 8 9:34pm PST) Venus will make a sextile to Pluto. The influence will be felt for a couple of days so this is a great time to reinvigorate the bedroom especially since Venus is in Scorpio. It is also a terrific time to work on your money and finances. Call the credit card company and renegotiate, call the IRS and see if you can shave off the bill, move some stocks (does anyone still have those?), perhaps buy gold, do something that helps your career. If you have ever paid attention to a hawk flying in a sky then you notice how they gently lower and raise themselves by finding the thermal winds. The gust of energy in the thermal gives them an extra advantage over the birds below and above them ---those birds not riding the thermals have to flap more to get to the same location. Consider the sextile between Venus and Pluto to be a thermal. If you see a boost of energy in love, finances, beauty and resources or in career, infrastructure and basic responsibilities----well go for it.

Ft. Hood
As I indicated HERE the full moon had a rough aspect with Mars and the unstable element was Uranus.
All of this is true for what happened at Ft. Hood yesterday. Cold, heartless murders on an Army base by one of its own is tragic. The fact that it appears to be at the hands of a doctor is another twist. The fact that he was Muslim about to be deployed to Afghanistan makes it even more complicated. All the strange twists and turns are perfectly Uranus. The violence is perfectly in line with a square with Mars.
Of course, hindsight is twenty twenty even for an astrologer. I would have never guessed something like this. And I am glad. It is too sad for my brain to comprehend.

A Note On Saturn's move into Libra
Last week I received an email from Ted from AstroAdvisor. I asked him if I could post and he said Yes. I like what he has to say especially on the fear negativity of Virgo. ---Tracy
Dear Clients and Friends,
The planet Saturn has just changed signs, leaving Virgo and entering the sign of Libra on Thursday, October 29th. Saturn will make a brief transit in Libra until April 7th, 2010 before retrograding back into Virgo one final time. Saturn re-enters Libra once again on July 21st, 2010 until October 5th, 2012.
Saturn symbolically represents our life lessons, ambitions, security and status, and karma. We reap what we sow with Saturn. It gives us what we deserve and have worked hard for. Saturn is also associated with ones character. What kind of obstacles have we had to overcome or sacrifices to make to attain our goals? What do we have to do now to make our dreams and aspirations become real and tangible?
While Saturn has been transiting Virgo, there is a tendency to express the negative emotions of fear, doubt, or worry. More effort is probably required to keep a peaceful and positive frame of mind. With what is going on in the present economic climate, it has been a challenge for many of us. There can also be a pre-occupation with making things perfect and becoming too critical of everything or others around us. Now that Saturn is in Libra, it is time to lighten up! Time to attain more balance in all areas of life.
Saturn is considered "exalted" in the sign of Libra. What this means is the nature of the planet is best complimented while transiting the sign. It also means it can express its planetary nature the strongest in this sign. Welcome the great balancer and lord of karma, Saturn, in the sign of balance and harmony, Libra. It is time to change our ways! Karma or the repercussions of our actions can come back much more quickly now that Saturn transits Libra. It wants to make things fair and equal.
The "wrong doers" in the world may be paid a visit by the grim reaper during this period, lol. Maybe just in time for Halloween, lol! Many would hope for such a thing. For example, where is the "fairness" in bailing out wall street and big banks at the expense of American tax payers while millions lose their jobs or homes? If things are equal, then the same amount of "bail out" money should be given to the people who lost their homes or jobs. Where is the "fairness" in this? These are very interesting times and we haven't seen nothing yet! Wait until Saturn in Libra opposes Uranus in Aries and squares Pluto in Capricorn over the next few years. More about that another time.
The other important theme of Saturn in Libra is "relationships." Partnerships and relationships usually take on a more serious tone now. Any issues that you may have not wanted to confront will probably have to be dealt with now. Ultimately, the goal of Saturn's transit in Libra is to make relationships more solid, strong, and complete. Other people or significant others can take on a more important role in our lives too. The urge for commitment or forming longer term relationships and partnerships takes on more importance. Life can be hard enough at times...we don't need to go at it alone. Now I think I am starting to sound like some commercial I heard! lol. That's all for now.
Wishing everyone peace, harmony, and balance in all areas of life!

I wanted to remind you guys that if you have not gone to Ted's website
Neptune turns Direct
On Wednesday November4 at 1:10pm EDT Neptune will turn direct.
Neptune spend half the year in retrograde (which I believe it likes) so turning direct in and of itself is not a big deal. But with the direct motion there is a bit of clarity that can come to a puzzling situation. The action is taking place at 24 degrees of Aquarius so if you know your chart you can look at what house contains that degree plus if you have any planets making an aspect --be prepared for some change. When Neptune touches anything it is like a cloud of fog envelopes the subject or worse sometimes a zap from Neptune makes everything turn to void. Poof, it's gone. So, it is possible (depending on your chart) there may have been something that was so out of your grasp and hard to make sense of since May 28. Now, after it turns direct you may find an answer. However, like Avalon appearing out of the mists, you will see the rough points of the rocky coast, the tumultuous shore break which can all be daunting but also coming into view is the beckoning castle offering a warm shelter. Perhaps as they say in twelve step you will bottom out on some issue. That would be the tough shore break on the rocky coast. But also you may have redemption and hope --that is the castle. Whatever starts to come into view it is vital to find your center and find Spirit. You are not alone. I promise. For more on it go here.

Full Moon November 2
Well, how about a nice fat earthbound Full Moon in Taurus? I don't know about you but I am craving something grounded, even if it is a bit tense, I just sometimes want something so rooted that it traps me. And this is what we'll get with The Full Moon energy on Monday. The Sun in Scorpio is demanded regeneration. "Die and Reborn, you poor mortal slob."
But at the same time the Moon in Taurus is holding on for dear life (Taurus is NOT a sign that likes change).
This is just that pain in the ass Full Moon that tells us we need to shed in order to grow but we hate it (The next one is six months from now.) However there is a little something extra with this Full Moon which is a big ol' square with Mars in Leo. There will be a line of Divas around the block demanding that we serve them.
I think there will be an energy suck getting all the attention. I am kind of surprised that Kooky Family with the balloon boy (who actually should be called Attic Boy) didn't activate their hoax during this full moon given the Mars Square Moon, Square Sun. But actually if they did we would be way more Pissed off than we were last month. It is a bitchy aspect.
If you are going to get into it with anyone be prepared to pay for it for awhile. Things that take place now we be remembered for a long time.
There is also a shitty aspect between Uranus, Mars and Mercury that is troubling. Mercury likes to talk, talk, talk... Mars wants action that is all EGO driven and then the one who is going to go berserk is Uranus. This is not good since Uranus is already crazy. Watch the kooks in your life. They will suck you into some experience and you may find yourself doing all the work (Mars Leo) and your brain goes crazy trying to figure out how you played it so wrong. "How did this end up on my docket?????" Don't sweat it too much. Just blame the karma Gods. Sometimes you gotta burn stuff off. This is that week.
Burn baby Burn
