Mercury goes retrogarde Thursday, April 28 2016

Mercury goes retrograde April 28 and goes direct May 22 in the sign of Taurus.
The caution is to be careful signing papers and making agreements, especially regarding everyday money. 
 

Taurus is the patron planet of everyday money and food. This means food contracts or agreements should be double and triple checked for accuracy. However, luxury items may be on sale, but be sure to check for flaws. Mercury is the patron planet of communication, especially between siblings which could be delayed until May 22. This is because Taurus energy is careful, deliberate and slow. This Mercury retrograde cycle needs patience. This retrograde should be relatively benign because of the stable nature of Taurus, but documents related to everyday money may be delayed. The sign most affected would be Taurus, of course. Scorpio may experience delays in financial situations because of careful (too careful?) inspection of them. Leo and Aquarius, could be frustrated because of repeated demands for accounting of figures, something they do not enjoy. Fellow earth signs of Virgo and Capricorn may be asked to double-check documents and they will be able to do this easily, and may benefit from a small windfall. Cancer and Pisces may have opportunities for small money experiences. But... if it involves documents, do your best to sign after Mercury goes direct May 22. Aries and Gemini are somewhat neutral, but the usual care should be taken with the written word and documents. Libra and Sagittarius experience financial things not going as expected and need to adjust; this is minor. If relationships are not going smoothly, it will be most likely because of money. Remember Mars is also retrograde, so plans, projects and travel could be delayed, perhaps because of a mix-up for payment for tickets.

Sun goes into Taurus Aprl 19, 2016

Happy Birthday Taurus!

It will be Taurus time until May 20. Taurus is more energized and a little more assertive. Now is the time for you to begin your projects, although Mars is retrograde.

Scorpio may experience stubborn control issues over money resulting in tense relationships. Leo may be annoyed by stubborn, repeated requests to restrain spending. Aquarius experiences attempted restraint regarding money.

Virgo and Capricorn have a nice time regarding money, relationships and practical affairs.

Cancer and Pisces experience this Taurus time of opportunities for successful practical and financial affairs, if you keep your expenditures in check.

Aries and Gemini are neutral. Libra and Sagittarius adjust to things not going as expected, probably less available money.

Remember, though, with Mars retrograde projects may begin well, but slow down or need to be tweaked until Mars goes direct June 29. During Taurus time, tweaks are most likely trimming the budget.

April 17. 2016 Sunday Mars goes retrograde

Mars goes retrograde Sunday. You were forewarned of this in the April 2016 prediction article published March 28. Mars goes direct June 29, 2016.

Mars symbolizes men, mechanical things and your projects. When it goes retrograde there is a good possibly these malfunction.

Mechanical thinks include your car, lawn mower and other things that are run by a motor. They may have irritating glitches. If you get the mechanical part of the object inspected first, it could save you some time. A for instance is when I was working at Staples a long time ago, their copier malfunctioned. The tech man inspected all the electrical components, replacing some expensive parts. Quietly, I tried to mention the mechanical parts could be looked at. After many hours it turned out to be the little piece of plastic the paper fed over coming out of the machine. After he replaced it, the copier worked perfectly. 

Men include the men in your life, whether father, husband, boyfriend, brother or friend. If relationships are not going as smoothly as you would like, it could be the man in your life is not feeling well and is irritable, or he is full of himself and is demanding. This requires cooperation and understanding. It will pass.

When Mars goes retrograde, it seems time slows down and your projects are delayed. This is the time for you to analyze your projects to see if the “mechanics” of the project are put together properly in a Virgo-type proper sequence.

For those of you who know your chart, look to the house Mars rules which has Aries on the cusp. The affairs of that house could reveal any problem related to Mars, but the affect would be the house Mars lives in. For instance, if you have Aries on the cusp of your sixth house of work and Mars lives in the 8th house of money, your work projects could slow or need attention, but the details would be finances or investments related to work.

GEOMAGNETIC STORM April 6 and 7 2016

GEOMAGNETIC STORM: Earlier today, April 7th, Earth passed through a fold in the heliospheric current sheet, plunging our planet into a region of interplanetary space filled with negative polarity magnetic fields.  The result: a G1-class geomagnetic storm is in progress. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras after nightfall on April 7-8. Visit Spaceweather.com for more information.

How will this affect you?

The storm is passing through the astrological sign of Aries. This should be very strong for Aries because the Sun, Venus, Uranus and the Moon are all in Aries. It is late today (6 pm ET) so this will still be strong tomorrow, April 8. The difficult square between Aries and Capricorn is still active and these two signs, plus Cancer and Libra are under leadership stress. Aries may be strongly initiating action, which means Libra experiences either opposition or people being independent and non-cooperative. However, Sagittarius is experiencing opportunities for good money, love and whatever you call stability and security, with Leo able to stabilize and bring creativity to the situation. This is good. Mercury is in the sign of Taurus, meaning Taurus can help slow down the impulsivity asking others to see the financials.

Leo and Sagittarius can help Aries, Taurus and Virgo can help Capricorn. Moon goes into Aries, adding to the impulsiveness and changes of the day.

April 7: New Moon in the sign of Aries. Good day for Aries to act and a good day for Leo and Sagittarius. Libra may experience opposition, with Cancer and Capricorn having short-lived challenges. Scorpio and Pisces can help Cancer, with Taurus and Virgo helping Capricorn. Gemini and Aquarius have the opportunity for good social time. Virgo and Scorpio adjust to unexpected interruptions.

April 12: wonderful day for everybody. Communication of practical and creative or ideal ideas goes well and is accepted.

April 17: Mars goes retrograde at 08:13:48 am. Mars will be retrograde through June 29 and will travel backwards between 8 degrees Sagittarius and 23 degrees Scorpio during that time. This means if you have these degrees in your personal horoscope it will be noticed. When Mars goes retrograde, your projects and time slows and seems to stop by the time Mars goes direct. Mechanical things can malfunction and should be checked first. If there are glitches in relationships, it is usually connected to the man. Today, if you have a planet, your ascendant or midheaven at 7, 8 or 9 degrees be alert for changes in your projects. Since Mars will be retrograde in the sign of Sagittarius, their projects could slow down and travel plans can experience changes because of mechanical problems. Make sure enough time is allowed for delays. During this time, Gemini may experience opposition from men or trouble with mechanics. Virgo and Pisces could experience challenges, but they are not personal. Aries and Leo may experience problems with mechanics but will find creative solutions. Cancer and Taurus adjust to glitches or slowdown of projects. Scorpio and Capricorn are neutral. Libra and Aquarius may have opportunities for travel, but make sure you leave enough time for delays because of mechanical problems.

April 18: love life and finances go well for Aries and Sagittarius, followed by Leo. Financial concerns should involve both something new and almost risky that will bring security in the long term. A lovely day with new ideas, romance, stodgy old ideas seem to be blown away in a harmonious way.

April 18: Pluto goes retrograde at 17 degrees Capricorn 29 minutes. It will retrograde between 17 and 14 degrees, repeating the degree of the big square between Pluto and Uranus that was close January 2016. If you have these degrees in  your chart, it will be noticed. Depending on the signs your planets are in, it could be challenging, opportunistic or rewarding. If you do not have these degrees in your chart, you will not notice it personally, but watch the world news for change. A short phone call to Patty can help you recognize and interpret your personal situation.

April 19: Moon goes into Libra. Yesterday's independence runs into a challenge from a strong, established person or situation. Impulsive actions are halted. Aries and Capricorn are in a tense situation, followed by Cancer and Libra. Leo and Sagittarius can help Aries, with Taurus and Virgo helping Capricorn. The challenge is minor and only one day.

April 19: Sun goes into Taurus through May 20. This is the month for Taurus to enjoy your birthday and to begin new projects. Scorpio feels opposition, especially regarding finances. Leo and Aquarius experience challenging or tense situations which are about control. Virgo and Capricorn enjoy a month of practical accomplishments. Cancer and Pisces have opportunities to join practical endeavors. Aries and Gemini are neutral. Libra and Sagittarius experience a month when things do not go as expected and adjust.

April 21: Moon goes into Scorpio.

April 22: full Moon in the signs of Scorpio and Taurus, who will feel opposition and control issues, followed by Leo and Aquarius. The areas of the body associated with this full Moon are the reproductive organs, anus, neck, throat and thyroid glands. Cancer and Pisces experience a somewhat smooth day, along with Virgo and Capricorn. Gemini and Libra are neutral, as are Aries and Sagittarius.

April 22: Also, Venus is conjunct Uranus, so expect the unexpected, especially from Aries who may be more impulsive and daring than usual. Libra can expect an abrupt rush to independence from others or lack of cooperation. Cancer and Capricorn have a day of unexpected surprises. Gemini and Aquarius enjoy opportunities for unexpected invitations for an adventure. Leo and Sagittarius enjoy being in the right place at the right time to be included in an adventure. Pisces and Taurus are neutral, with Virgo and Scorpio adjusting to a surprise, which should be better than what was expected.

April 24: Moon goes into Sagittarius, creating the see-saw day with the Sun. Sagittarius and Taurus do not understand each other and adjust to things not being as expected. Overall a minor irritating day for everyone. Aries and Leo can help Sagittarius, with Virgo and Capricorn helping Taurus.

April 26: Moon goes into Capricorn.

April 27: See-saw day between the Sun and Mars, indicating that authority is stubborn or inflexible towards a far-reaching project. Taurus and Sagittarius do not see eye to eye and it may be best to communicate at another time. However, the Sun and Moon are in sync, indicting harmony between Capricorn and Taurus which includes Virgo. Taurus is stronger today and if you need help, call on Capricorn.

April 28: Mercury goes retrograde through May 22 in the sign of Taurus. We are familiar with a retrograde Mercury time when electronics can malfunction, the written word is incomplete and your computer is sensitive indeed. Mercury in Taurus is stubborn, practical and takes a long time to make decisions, indicating that any malfunctions could be stubbornly hard to diagnose and fix. Patience is needed, which is one of Taurus' good traits. However, if you have retrograde Mercury in your natal chart, this is a good time for you to make decisions. It is wise to put off signing agreements or purchasing a new electric or electronic gadget until after May 22.

April 29: Venus goes into Taurus through May 23. Good time for Taurus who may be more loving or giving than usual. Personally, I find that Taureans are generous, so they may be more so. Taurus may purchase more things that are comfortable and long lasting. Scorpio experiences control issues with a loved one, along with Leo and Aquarius. It is a good time for Virgo and Capricorn, who may enjoy compatibility with loved ones. Cancer and Pisces have the opportunity for loving relationships and maybe financial benefits. Aries and Gemini are neutral. Libra and Sagittarius adjust to others perhaps being clingy or too close. Moon goes into Aquarius.

April 29: in addition to above, it is a quarter Moon in the signs of Aquarius and Taurus, indicating stubborn control issues involving money and a long-range or abstract plans. Leo and Scorpio also experience control issues. Gemini and Libra can help Aquarius, with Virgo and Capricorn helping Taurus.

March 1 through March 31, 2016

March 1 through March 31, 2016

There are two eclipses this month: new Moon eclipse on March 8 and full Moon eclipse March 23.

Jupiter in Virgo and Saturn in Sagittarius are in square with each other all month. This portends tension from the practical ones pushing the idealistic ones, to no avail. Jupiter does not like being in Virgo because he is restricted. Saturn does not like being in Sagittarius because he is being asked to expand - aghast! The degrees are 16, so if you have a 16-degree planet in your chart this will reflect in your chart. Pluto is at 17 degrees Capricorn, helping the practical Jupiter situation.

March begins with a quarter Moon in the signs of Sagittarius and Pisces on March 1. The stress is fuzzy irritation between Sagittarius and Pisces, followed by Gemini and Virgo. Cancer and Scorpio can help Pisces by soothing feelings; Aries and Leo can help Sagittarius with creative ideas.

Taurus and Cancer adjust to things not going as expected. Virgo and Pisces experience challenging situations regarding projects.

March 6: tense, irritating situation, especially between Pisces and Sagittarius, followed by Gemini and Virgo. Things do not go as expected because the practical is asking the creative to slow down. This is evident between Virgo and Aries. There is a need to be flexible and accommodating to evaluate all the details. Decision is premature. As the afternoon progresses, situations have the opportunity to be more harmonious. At the very end of the day and into

March 7: Opportunity today to put creativity into reality if you look at the long-range plan. Today is especially good for Pisces and Capricorn, followed by Cancer, scorpio Taurus and Virgo. Moon goes into Pisces this afternoon.

March 8: the new Moon eclipse at 18 degrees Pisces 55 minutes, opposing transiting Jupiter. If you have a planet, your ascendent or midheaven at 17, 18 or 19 degrees, you will feel this eclipse. How will depend upon what sign your planet is in. Pisces could be more active than usual. Virgo experiences more of the vagueness and lack of detail. Virgo, be careful of your emotions today. Cancer and Scorpio have good emotions and can help Pisces. Taurus can help Virgo be stable, and Capricorn can give direction. Gemini and Sagittarius could be greatly irritated.

Leo and Libra are surprised by the initiation of affection from a normally shy person.

March 13: Moon goes into Gemini.

March 14: challenging day for Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius. Even though your loved one may be more affectionate, today they may escape into their own space. Communication is vague, impractical and irritating. This is for everyone.

March 15: communication from Pisces pleases Capricorn and those who are practical and irritates Virgo and those who are detail oriented. This is good day for Pisces to present your ideas and plans, and if you include a person you consider steady and effective, they will go forward well. Details and practical ideas are favored. The quarter Moon comes into exact effect at 01:02:52 pm ET, setting off challenging communications with everybody, but especially the signs of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. Irritation abounds this afternoon. this evening the Moon goes into Cancer, calming emotions.

March 16: finally, a break from the irritating communication. Jupiter is getting along with Pluto. In English this means the person dealing with details and the effective leader are working well together to put forward a practical plan with long-range effectiveness. The signs of Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn are highly favored today, so be sure to express your ideas and plans. Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces have opportunities to help this long range plan and you have a good day. Aries may adjust to unexpected request for details as may Gemini and Sagittarius. Leo may seem to be ignored because of the practical, business-like day with no talk of creativity. Aquarius can offer good management ideas for the long range plan. Libra can offer ideas for working with the public and with alliances.

March 17: St Patrick’s Day when we are all Irish by celebration. Mildly good day with a decision to stay home or go out. Mild sudden change in the early evening, the day ending harmoniously.

March 23: the full Moon eclipse is in the signs of Libra and Aries, setting off challenging, impulsive actions. It is exact at 08:00:47 am ET, with Mercury conjuct the eclipse. The degree is 3 Degree Libra 17 minutes, so look at this in your chart to see if it will be set off. Jupiter is exactly square Saturn in the signs of Virgo and Sagittarius at 16 degrees Virgo and Sagittarius. Expect it to be a crazy day. Full moons are crazy enough, but this one has the extra energy of the other planets. The full Moon energy is challenging for Cancer and Capricorn, and the other square is also challenging for Gemini and Pisces. The energy of a Jupiter/Saturn square means one cannot get away with anything. There may be a news story about something that was hidden. But if you have that 16 degree planet in your chart, you may have to own up to something from the past. The areas of the body symbolized by this full Moon eclipse are the adrenal glands, bladder, and the head, including eyes, brain and upper jaw.

March 24: Good day for creative projects and communication, especially for Aries and Sagittarius, followed by Leo. Cancer and Capricorn may experience mildly challenging communication. Gemini could be challenged verbally, but are fully capable of seeing all sides of the situation and having a good day. The quieter signs of Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn may just choose to stay in the background to enjoy the day. Libra and Aquarius could enjoy active conversations, but it should go smoothly.

March 25: Saturn goes retrograde through August 13 in the sign of Sagittarius. Venus is being less loving and gracious than usual. Love challenges to either Virgo or someone who is reticent and detail oriented. She is also feeling lonely and may retreat. The signs are Pisces pouting to Virgo and retreating from Sagittarius. However, Cancer and Scorpio can help Pisces, with Leo and Aries helping Sagittarius. If you had been over-spending, today you need to pay the bills. Moon goes into Scorpio early afternoon.

March 26: projects go forward very well. Relationships with those in authority, both young and older are good. Your loved one stops outing and is cooperative and there is an opportunity to either increase income or re-manage your finances.

March 28: Moon goes into Sagittarius and joins Mars for extra energy. Sun and Moon are getting along, benefitting Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.

Are your small appliances breaking?

Why are your appliances breaking?
17 February 2016

Many of us are experiencing small appliances that all of a sudden stop working and break. I have had three that have had to be replaced. Thank goodness, the new ones are working. The computers are also slower than normal.

GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A solar wind stream hit Earth's magnetic field on Feb. 16th, sparking more than 24 hours of G1-class geomagnetic storms. Around the Arctic Circle, the light show was fantastic.

After peaking during the late hours of Feb. 16th, the storm is subsiding. However, NOAA forecasters say there is a 55% chance of renewed storming on Feb. 17th as Earth continues to move through the solar wind stream. Arctic sky watchers should remain alert for auroras. 


The solar wind causes electric malfunctions because of the high-energy magnetic field which causes radio blackouts and electrical glitches. The solar wind also compresses the earth's magnetic field which can cause weird emotions and reactions.

Justice Scalia’s passing

And the USA horoscope.

The chart I use for the USA is the Sibley chart corrected for hurricane Sandy, which has the ascendant at 15 degrees Sagittarius 18 minutes; give or take a few minutes. This chart is called USA Sandy.

Justice Scalia’s passing was in the news 13 February, saying he died in his sleep after he retired on Friday, 12 February. In looking at the transiting planets, it seems he died very peacefully on the 12th. Perhaps on the soul level, Justice Scalia knew or thought that his contribution to the United States was complete. On 16 February, there could be an observance with 17 February continuing the somber mood and possibly another observance.

The transit on 11 February reveals communication challenges in the legal & public sector and the Supreme Court. This will repeat 28 July 2016. The challenge is to let go and the Supreme Court did announce several cases they will not hear. With Justice Scalia’s death, the remaining cases before the Court are uncertain because of the even split between the conservative and liberal Justices.

The United States just finished a transit of uncertainty, change and chaos that ended 13 February 2016. This cycle began mid-April and repeated mid-August of 2015. With the uncertainty fading, the population may feel better and the work force less chaotic. There had been a push for unrealistic or idealistic ideas for change in the work force, the schools and reveals politically correctness. This should fade out now, with the better of the ideas put into action.

The population is becoming more serious and should be more responsible for itself. However, the other side of this energy is to become depressed or have health issues; for a country it would be health care concerns. This repeats May and November 2016. At the same time, Saturn is creating an opportunity for national stability if responsibility and common sense prevail. This was exact on 9 February, repeats May and November of this year of 2016. Saturn also reveals the President must adjust to things as they are, not as he expected, because of subtle change.. This was exact on 22 January and repeats the end of May and toward the end of October 2016, this year.

The progressed Moon of the United States’ chart changes from Scorpio to Sagittarius the 22nd of February, this month. Focus changes to the law, foreign relations, trade and religion. The energy will be from behind the scenes, though, until the end of May 2017.

Some astrology: transiting Saturn in the sign of Sagittarius is conjunct the ascendant of the USA Sandy chart, transiting Neptune in the sign of Pisces is square the USA natal Uranus in the sign of Gemini. This is the cycle that ended 13 February 2016. Transiting Jupiter in the sign of Virgo is square the USA natal Mars in the sign of Gemini. Transiting Venus in the sign of Capricorn was opposite natal Mercury in the sign of Cancer in the USA chart. Transiting Saturn will be exactly on the ascendant 17 February when there may be an observance. Justice Scalia died on the 12th when transiting Venus was opposite the United States natal Mercury. Mercury is the patron planet of the 7th house, where Gemini is on the cusp, of legalities, the public, enemies & allies, and is also the patron planet of the 9th house of the Supreme Court where Virgo is intercepted.

Republicans are symbolized by Jupiter and Sagittarius.
Democrats symbolized by Saturn and Capricorn.
Socialism is symbolized by Uranus and Aquarius.

Valentine Day 2016 and how it will treat you

Valentine's Day is always February 14

Valentine's Day is always in the sign of Aquarius. 

The love of Aquarius is inclusive, accepting, free, friendly and non-jealous. Aquarius love does not bind or own you. Aquarius love accepts you as you are and does not ask you to be different or to change. Aquarius love allows and encourages you to have friends in addition to being their partner. Aquarius love accepts your sense of freedom to be yourself and to be involved in the activities you enjoy. Aquarius love is not jealous or suffocating.

Of course, Aquarius love expects you to treat them the same way. That is to accept them as they are, quirks and all and don't ask them to change. Aquarius love expects you to enjoy their friends, no matter how kooky they may seem and not resent their time with their friends, even if that means time away from you. Aquarius love does not understand jealousy or ownership of them as a person. Let them be free.

With that said, how does Aquarian love on February 14 this year interact with your astrology sign? Basically Aquarius is the lover. Leo is the lovee who loves drama and extravagance which Aquarius may give in an unusual way. Scorpio and Taurus could experience a more friendly day than romantic. Gemini and Libra enjoy a day of friends and communication. Aries and Sagittarius have opportunities for creative social time. Cancer and Virgo can expect the mildly unexpected and adjust to it. Capricorn and Pisces are generally neutral.

However, every year the planets are in different signs, so let's look at this year's Valentine's Day planets and how they may treat you:

The Moon and Mars will be in the signs of Taurus and Scorpio respectively, and Mercury will have just gone the sign of Aquarius on 14 February. This means Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius could have emotional control issues that include Leo. Libra, Gemini and Aquarius have good communications. Virgo and Capricorn have a smooth day; Cancer and Pisces have the opportunity for good emotions. Communication for Cancer and Virgo is not as expected.

Venus and Pluto will be in the sign of Capricorn and Jupiter will be in Virgo. This indicates a good day for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. Capricorn should be energized to be a little more demonstrative. Scorpio and Pisces have the opportunity for a quiet interlude. Aries, Cancer and Libra have a day of change.

Saturn will be in the sign of Sagittarius, causing Sagittarius to be a little more serious, but giving Aries and Leo a  quietly good day. Uranus will be in the sign of Aries, revealing good change and good social day for Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Libra and Aquarius enjoy stability, with Gemini perhaps interacting with an older person. There could be a surprise for Cancer and Libra.

Neptune will be in Pisces, which enhances Pisces creativity and romanticism. This indicates a nice, romantic day for Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Taurus and Capricorn have the opportunity for a romantic day if they will allow it, with Virgo experiencing a romantic partner who may want to escape from work or tasks. This could be an irritating day for Gemini and Sagittarius if they do not appreciate someone being late or seemingly not focused. Neptune's influence with Aquarius and Aries is neutral.

These are general indications. For a quick interpretation of your Valentine Day,

Patty's booklet is published and she is a certified channeler

How to Talk With Your Angels and Departed Loved Ones was an Intensive Channeling, experiential three days with Kim O'Neill, Psychic Channeler, and John Van Auken at Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. in Virginia Beach over January 15-17, 2016 in which I participated. Kim gave personal readings and comments during the weekend and her comment to me was: "You are open, and a deep channeler." Kim even tuned into the fact that I receive information as I am walking across the room with a cup of coffee in my hand. Friends say that I have "an open line to the other side." During astrology readings, psychic information comes through, but you may want a channeling reading only, which I am happy to give.

Although I've quietly been doing this for about 10 years with those who request it, now that I am certified, it seems good to let you know I am available for you to contact your guides, Masters, and departed loved ones, including pets. Readings are by appointment and are over the phone, at the regular hourly rate as astrology readings, which is $126.00 for an hour.

Meeting of the Minds Through the Signs is published and available.

Patty has published her little booklet, Meeting of the Minds Through the Signs, Using Astrological Keywords to Unlock the Power of Communication which is available in paperback or Kindle on Amazon.com for $9.99. This is a short, easy-to-find reference about the astrological sign of the person you want to communicate with. People of some signs are so different from you that you may not be able to communicate with them easily. With this booklet, you can quickly and easily look up which words, and other useful information, to use with people of an astrology sign to get their attention and have a feasible conversation. The only astrology you need know is their sign - and yours, of course.

The booklet came about from a conversation with my sister, who was unsuccessfully trying to elicit information from someone. During our conversation, I realized I knew him and advised which verb to use to get his attention. It worked, and this will work for you, too.

If you would like a signed copy, please contact Patty via email or 302-378-0579 so you can receive your personalized copy. The cost for your personalized copy is $13.50  sent to the United States; $14.50 to Canada.
