UNDER THE INFLUENCE Beware Ponzi schemes – or anything else that promises money for nothing and clicks for free. Things that look like they’re too good to be true often are when Venus, the planet of seduction, forms a square to Neptune, the planet of illusion. Both planets are famous for casting spells [...]
A PAUSE IN THE ACTION The good thing about Pluto turning retrograde on April 25 is that whatever crisis you've been struggling with these past six months will retreat back to the dark corner from whence it came. Retrogrades mark a change in planetary disposition; a time when what was on is called [...]
A TEACHING MOMENT There's nothing to be gained by pointing fingers. Accusations, recriminations, and mea culpas alike will all fall on deaf ears when the Sun squares Pluto and Jupiter this week. What's done is done and everyone has to deal with the fall-out. It's like one of those moments in the old [...]

Saturn searches out our weak spots and exposes our shortcomings. [...]
CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO GODLINESS This week's Super Moon will be in Virgo (March 9) and you can already see people practicing good hygiene - vigorously washing their hands for at least 20 seconds, wiping down seats, knobs, and handles with alcohol wipes, and coughing into their elbows rather than into other people's [...]
