Electional Astrology: choosing my wedding date

Dear friends, I’m getting hitched! As an astrologer who specializes in elections (picking auspicious dates), of course when was the first and biggest question, once the who showed up! Some of you told me you were interested, so I wrote this post about the date we picked for the wedding and why we picked it.

Refer to this link for my pointers and general philosophy on wedding dates.

Thoughts on Neptune in Pisces

Somehow Neptune sneaked quietly into Pisces for the first time since the early 1860s, while I was looking elsewhere. As the god of the sea enters his home territory, time for us all to do a gut check. Planets in their home sign operate with maximum intensity. So with Neptune, this is big time sensitivity and psychic energy, spiritual connection on the one hand, loss, disappointment, betrayal on the other hand. It hit me kind of hard, brought up some old emotional baggage from long ago. How are you feeling today?

Neptune will stay in Pisces for 4 months in 2011, giving us a taste of what’s ahead. Then he will back into Aquarius in early August, and return to Pisces in February 2012, staying there until 2025.

Chiron in synastry

A while back, Anya asked:

Hi Molly,

Pluto and African violet

My cat woke me up this morning with the gift of affectionate but prickly little claws on my belly. Because of her gift, I woke right up and remembered my dream. A girl was stuck on a solid white hot air balloon that she couldn’t steer or bring down. A boy managed to throw a potted African violet to her. The weight of the potted plant was just enough for her to descend and come back down to the ground.

A girl set adrift having trouble coming down to the ground.. The symbolism is obvious, right? The Sun in my chart is at 05 Aries, about to receive a transiting square from Pluto, ruler of the underworld, currently transiting early degrees of Capricorn. As an astrologer, I have seen this coming, and I know what it means: my life must change. After a year or two, much will be different. I don’t know exactly how it will unfold. I am happy with my life the way it is, but I do feel something deep within me trying to emerge. I have been praying for guidance to help me go through the process with consciousness, honesty, and love.

Venus Retrograde :: Scratch & Dent

Venus retrograde is a time when we can often find good bargains on things that have minor dings or cosmetic problems. So I offer you one of these good deals here!

Some of my 2011 calendars came back from the printer’s with some minor problems. So I don’t feel I should sell them at full price. They are still readable, and still in good condition, with just some minor blemishes.
