STARSTRUCK ASTROLOGY

Today Mercury – ruler of the mind – transitions from detached and scientific Aquarius to take it on faith Pisces. Over the next 2 ½ weeksthe conscious mind is flooded with imagery and symbols as a means by which to collect and sort data. Intuition and feelings are prominent, and the rational mind must be [...]

In case yesterday’s Full Moon wasn’t hot enough, Venus moves out of the sign of her exaltation, and into the sign of her detriment until March 5. It’s a noticeable shift from the oceanic depths of Pisces into Aries’ creative flame. What a leap! Pisces is focused on everyone else, while Aries is focused on [...]
