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 [...]

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’ve been an irrepressible joke-maker today… after a friend commented on it, I of course joked that I should go read my horoscope.

Over at The Fluent Self, Havi has a weekly ritual that has become known as the Friday Chicken, a little check-in moment that started about a year ago. After years in the kitchen, and because we’re all about the march of time here, the idea of punching a time clock seemed like a good mental [...]
