Turning Points & Breaking Points: The August Cardinal Cross

Astrology followers have been abuzz with news of a rare planetary event happening this August called the Cardinal Cross. Sounds like the ordination ceremony for a Roman Catholic clergyman (at least, to us). What it really is: a cycle when SEVEN planets in the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn will form a [...]

July 26 Lovescope: Clash and Learn

There’s no such thing as an issue-free relationship. Anyone who tells you otherwise, probably isn’t having very much (or very satisfying) sex. Dynamic tension is what keeps the chemistry alive in love. Dealing with differences in a healthy way is what keeps a commitment strong over time. This week, Mars the warrior enters Libra–the sign that [...]

July 12 Weekly Lovescope

This week, challenging Saturn wraps up its tour of Virgo, not to return for another thirty years. How does this affect our love lives? Virgo IS the sign of the virgin, but that doesn’t necessarily mean life is bound for Orgyville when Saturn moves on to Libra on the 22nd. No, this week is about [...]

July 5 Weekly Lovescope

It’s been said that self-love is the foundation for all healthy relationships. True that, but then there comes a point…This week, unpredicable Uranus turns retrograde in Aries, the “me first” sign of the zodiac. What was once a healthy, balanced relationship could turn into a vintage Jerry Springer Show vignette, with divas snapping fingers in [...]

The grills are heating up and so are the lover’s quarrels. This week, the Cancer Sun will form a tense relationship to Jupiter and Uranus in Aries.

June 21 Lovescope: Help! I’ve turned into my mother!

Have you ever told yourself, “I’ll never be like my mother in my marriage!” or “I want to marry a guy just like my dad,” or some other statement comparing your life to your parents’? We’ve all done it–especially with regards to our romantic futures. Our parents, for better or worse, were our first role [...]

June 14 Lovescope: Are you feeling like an exhibitionist yet?

Loveplanet Venus dirty dances through passionate, playful, theatrical Leo until July 10th, igniting exhibitionism in its wake. In the immortal words of the late, great (Leo) Patrick Swayze, “no one puts Baby in the corner.” Mmm-hmm, that’s right. This week, Baby happens to be played by each and every one of us. Drop the necklines, [...]

June 7 Lovescope: Is flirting as healthy as breathing?

Lighten up, people! Flirting is as healthy as breathing. It lets us know that we still have a pulse. With chatty Mercury zipping into Gemini this week, it’s time to give the world a wink and a smile. Sexy glances and playful repartee is not necessarily meant to lead anywhere…in fact, in most cases, it’s [...]

Joran Van der Sloot Confesses: Loose Lips, Jupiter and the Stars

After two murder accusations and three years on the loose, 22-year-old Joran Van der Sloot has confessed to killing Stephany Flores Ramirez in Peru. Why now? We looked at Van der Sloot’s chart—he’s a Leo with a Pisces rising—for clues. We see a case of cosmically-fueled cockiness, even narcissism, behind his confession. This week, outspoken Jupiter and anti-establishment [...]

Al & Tipper Gore Split: Uranus & Jupiter in Aries

Married 40 years, Aries Al Gore and Leo Tipper announced a separation this week. Surprising, yet, but given the fact that Uranus and Jupiter are planting themselves in fiery, independent Aries, we may hear news of more shocking splits in the weeks to come. Fire signs in particular (Aries, Leo, Sag) need to feel free to [...]
