Dear Readers, if you’ve had a reading with me and enjoyed it, please consider writing a little testimonial for the blog. It’s good for biz. Also would be awesome for you to describe what makes readings with me special, different than other astrologers. Not that I’ve had readings with everyone out there but I’ve had my fair share of readings and I think what I do is different but I have a hard time putting it into words. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you 🙂

It is spring in the Big City and I feel like the New Moon in Taurus this weekend kicks off the summer energy.
Yesterday I wrote that this summer would change us all and I believe it is true. People’s lives are moving even if they are standing still – the clients querents that I’m working with are taking their lives in hand.

Under the Big Top!
Get ready to say goodbye to Aries, the Sun in Aries that is.
Mercury still needs to traverse the entire sign due to his earlier retrograde so the house(s) where Aries is active in your chart are still important. Those areas of life are still talking to you.
For me it’s my 8th House, Chiron and Ceres are there, not conjunct and I feel full of 8th House, as though I’ve eaten some huge meal and can’t move.
Speaking of moving, Pluto and the 8th House are like… the furniture movers of the Underworld, they move your decayed nasty sofa from the moldy basement to the first floor and you sit on it and go EW and then decide whether you gonna cling to this nasty or you gonna toss it out and mop the floor.

And speaking of Aries, the Moon is in Aries all day. Well, the Moon is still Void of Course now in Pisces but enters Aries a little before noon Big City time.
A note about Aries, if you have them in your life: you better love them a lot, wanna be with them a lot because their theme song truly is MY WAY. I want what I want when I want it is what my Aries friend said to me.
The art of finessing an Aries is a topic for another day perhaps but I was recently confronted with an Aries moment. An Aries Moon telling me something that rubbed me the wrong way and I took the wrong approach. I shoulda been Libra in my response. The ideal of Libra that is: gentle, cooperative, sweet, eyelash batting, and let the Aries believe they were going to get what they wanted until I figured out what I wanted.
***
Thinking about how I rarely write about the art of finessing anyone. I’m not a manipulative person, my mind doesn’t make those kinds of curlicues, and when faced with it, I always do a doubletake because it’s not my nature. I simply don’t get it.
My astrology teacher though once mentioned that Scorpios manipulate for power and Cancers manipulate for love. Agree?
***
Later today: the Moon in Aries will conjunct Mercury (feelings and thoughts marry intensely) and then conjunct Uranus (erratic emotions, hold steady or hold on) so everything that I’ve written above goes double, trouble. Not the manipulation stuff, but the energy of Aries in your life today so please revisit your chart and your Aries House because that’s where it’s hot and fast and bright!
I’ll be with my best friend at the doctor today. He’s having some tests done and I’m there to hang out, wait, support. Life will be back to normal for me on Thursday, back to finish readings in progress and to schedule new ones.
And since I’ll be waiting around, feel free to comment here or tweet on Twitter 🙂

I just truely enjoy reading your reports and have become a fan, I started repostng them on my blogger and now I am getting thank-yous for them. Thanks from me, Roy
Thanks Roy 🙂 Can you send me a link?
I have my Moon in Aries, and my dad has his Moon and Venus in Aries- you’re right about the Aries song being “My Way”. My Aries houses are the sixth and seventh, daily routine and partnerships. My daily routine has felt a bit off, for a while, but I have no partnerships, so there’s not much to worry about, there.
Re. Cancers and manipulation. While they do manipulate for love, it’s because to Cancer, love is power. Like power, itself, is power to Scorpio, and passivity/detachment is power to Pisces. In my experience, Cancerian manipulation is as complex as Scorpio’s macchinations, and as effortless as Pisces’ hold-my-breath-til-I-turn-blue emotional blackmail. For the most part, it’s a form of self-defense, but when a Cancer decides to do something unscrupulous, they know how to get somebody where they live.
lol “unscrupulous” without meaning to be! “who me?”
I don’t ‘get it’ either, I always need take two or even take three.
In my view manipulation is used when there is an ego overload, no matter for what purpose. One either trusts the unknown and its order or starts manipulating in order to get his/ her way.
And there is no ‘good’ manipulation, I was hurt by people that claimed they were doing the right thing for me!
I have Aries in the 12th house with Uranus transiting and natal Lilith there – I always wanted to be an Aries, even though there is no great love between me and the Aries people in my life, more like weird cautious distance – it’s actually pretty hilarious. “My way’ is one of my favorite songs.
I agree – love what you say about “trusting the unknown” as the antidote to manipulation. I am working on that now!
Hi moonpluto! Maybe Cancer manipulates for security too? I’ve also heard Pisces described as manipulative – what would you say they manipulate for? I’m Pisces moon and feel like I kind of know the answer to this but it’s hiding in my subconcious!
Loving all your posts. They are always entertaining, with a personal touch, as well as being informative 🙂
Thank you, A.
Manip for security, sure. It’s like… cancers think it is possible (true security) —
Pisces to me are one of the most complex signs. Pisces is surrounded by Aries on one side and Aqua on the other… oh boy. Watch out for the Pisces. Hard pressed to find sweeter facade but underneath is, well, complex. Fierce mind of Aqua and fierce fierce of Aries! You know what? It’s hard to be a Pisces! And they prob think so too! lol
