Over the next 2 1/2 years, don't put off straight-talking to your kids about the death, to your partner about your lackluster sex life - or your secret crush or affair. While the planet of reality transits the sign of taboo topics (secrets, the stuff no one wants to talk about but must -like death, money, sex), Scorpio (10/5/12- (12/23/14-6/16/15 Sagittarius) 9/17/15), it's not wise to shrink from...

Q: “I’d like to know where my love life and family is heading.” (Birth Data supplied) A: Not only are you a Leo (which means you have the Sun in Leo), but you also have Mars, Mercury and Venus in Leo. Leo is clearly a dominant sign in your personality, but it’s not the only sign – your ascendant is in Taurus and your descendant (relationship point) is in Scorpio. Leo...

Q: “When will love find me?” (Birth Data supplied) A: With decadent Leo, a fixed sign, ruling your 7th House of Relationships, you’re loyal and loving. You’d rather hold out for something lasting than waste time on unreliable or inconsistent partners. Having just started a new 30 year life cycle – due to your progressed New Moon in December 2011 – life is slowly...

Dear Jessica, I love my friends dearly (we’ve been friends since highschool) but recently I've been frustrated by them. One friend borrows money and always "forgets" to pay me back; another doesn't remember the most important events going on in my life, when we catch up she acts as if I'm telling her for the first time! I’m generous and forgiving with my friends, but lately I...

Dear Jessica, I’m considering leaving my committed relationship. There was a major transgression… and I’m just about over it. Are you finding other people are having this experience, too? Am I alone in this?  Sincerely, Over It (p.s.- The Uranus Pluto square has utterly clobbered my chart.)   You’re not alone. If the Uranus-Pluto square is putting pressure...

Venus in Gemini RX wants us to deal with the realities that accompany every relationship, which always includes misunderstandings, learning to ask for what we want, practicing clear communication and holding the space for duality - like loving another but not liking their behavior. It hasn’t been an easy time. But Uranus-Pluto is making it harder, and as Mercury (just passed) and the Sun...

A Chinese blessing says, ‘May you live in interesting times.’ A curse or a blessing, these are the interesting times.The Uranus-Pluto square is putting tension on all of our systems, governments and institutions, our marriages and relationships. If you’re experiencing a Uranus-Pluto square in your relationship life, interesting is likely the most neutral thing you could possibly...

Q: “My off/on relationship is confusing me. Should I stay or go?” (Birth Data supplied)   A: As a late born Aquarius, you’ve been under the influence of Neptune, which makes life in general confusing. Neptune finally moved off your Sun in February 2012, which is a little like a fog slowly starting to lift.   As you look back on 2011 you’ll see life then had a...

Think peace, love and happiness and Saturn probably isn’t the first planet that springs to mind. However, maybe it should. Saturn is the principle of time, reality, limits, boundaries and structure, and he plays a huge role in how we fare in our partnerships. Saturn times are testing times (ever heard of the 7 Year Itch?) but if we have some awareness around the cycles of Saturn in our life,...

My girlfriend and I met for tea, and one item on the agenda was Pluto & power. She said, 'I realize that I give the powerful people in my life, my power. I'd rather be behind the scenes.' She has Pluto in Libra in the Twelfth House. So do I. Heavy topic for tea-time but my progressed Moon is conjunct Pluto so the timing was perfect. It got me to thinking about personal power in...
