On the Ascendant: Transiting Mars and Mars Retrograde
Posted by Shannon in Transit Alerts on 13. Jan, 2010 | 1 Comment
This post is part of an occasional series about the Ascendant in your horoscope.
The Mars retrograde hullaballoo is bulldozing right over my ascendant, so I’ve been paying attention to the changes as it moves around my chart lately.
I have Mars in late Leo in the 1st house, so Mars had crossed my ascendant and was [...]
An Odd Expression of Mars on the Midheaven
Posted by Shannon in Aspects and Angles on 05. Jan, 2010 | 2 Comments
I have a dear friend with an aspect that puzzled me for a long time. This person has Mars exactly conjunct his midheaven, at 13 Leo. I scratched my head over this for a while because he didn’t seem to exhibit many of the usual traits or issues that traditionally accompany this aspect. The usual [...]
Haha, Very Funny… The Mercury Return
Posted by Shannon in Life with the Planets, Transit Alerts on 28. Oct, 2009 | 0 Comments
I’ve been an irrepressible joke-maker today… after a friend commented on it, I of course joked that I should go read my horoscope. Which I did… like Molly, I keep a subscription to astro.com’s Personal Daily Forecast, since my own things sneak up on me. And lo, my Mercury return arrived late last night!
I’ve never [...]
Uranus in the 4th: Here Comes the Moving Van… Again
Posted by Shannon in Life in the Houses, Life with the Planets on 19. Oct, 2009 | 3 Comments

The fourth house is, among a few other things, all about your home, how you feel about it, and how you tend to behave there. Uranus in [...]
Hidden in Plain Sight

I’ve been studying astrology for almost fifteen years now, and it still amazes me how I can find new things in my chart all the time. There’s definitely a subjective angle to analyzing your own information, because I’ve overlooked or trivialized countless things that would be patently obvious to me in someone else’s chart.
My most [...]
Libra New Moon – Domino Effect
Posted by Shannon in Personal Anecdotes, Pluto Pluto Pluto, Transit Alerts on 17. Oct, 2009 | 2 Comments
The Libra new moon is setting up shop right on top of my natal Pluto and then rolls on to my Mercury, to top off my week of reckoning. World, forgive me if I’m impatient with frivolous crap right now, but if there’s big stuff going on? I’m all ears. I have a special craving [...]
Many Happy Returns…

Happy solar return to me (yay!), and back to writing here also.
I, like so many of you, have been just walloped by some recent mega-transits, and I’m still trying to sort out the wreckage, to wit:
an unexpected cross-continent relocation
new (old) day job
relationship upheaval
standard-issue existential crisis that accompanies these things
There were a few things in the [...]
