Re: last week’s prediction of a political assassination? Nailed it. I honestly should have made the poisoning prediction, what with Scorpio being involved and all, but it’s been so long since I’ve done this I was pessimistic about my prognositcatory prowess.

So, we’ve got most of the planets lining up: The Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Venus with Mercury in opposition. This indicates that people with power get the best sexual partners, and that this condition is unlikely to change. No shit? Thanks for the insight, celestial sphere. No really, I can’t wait to see what you have to tell me next. Maybe something about the relationship between water and wetness? Fire and heat? Progs and progging? Honestly, there are times when it just isn’t worth it to drag the star charts out, much less look up.

That’s no mo–

The sun is (still) in Pisces, but nothing else is. So all you Pisceses out there, just keep being y’alls double-fishy selves and enjoy it while it lasts.

We still have Jupiter retrograde in Scorpio, but with Mars moving out of Sagittarius into Capricorn, we don’t have the immediate threat happening. Instead, this is looking less like sabotage and more like Leaders being general rake-stepping fuckups. With extra belligerence, because…

As I mentioned before, we have Mars in Capricorn. This bodes well for Battlestars, and cautions everyone else that maybe they are the ones being an asshole this week.1 Doubly so because Saturn (exalted) is also in Capricorn. Bad luck, loss, destruction… fighting is bad m’kay? Postpone any planned fights.

Now, for the one thing that you were all interested in last week’s revelation: yes, this week both Venus and Mercury remain in Aries. But joining it is the moon. Not only does this increase all the influences of the conjuncted planets, but with the Moon’s pull on the heartstrings and emotions, you are much more likely to form a deep, spiritual bond with your wooly lover (though why you would want this, I have no idea since I’m not a dirty kiwi.2,3,4) Also everyone knows: moon means anal.
