Heads Up From Elsa P: October 13, 2011 - Snooping, Obsession And The Merry Widow

Published: Thu, 10/13/11

The week is dominated by a fixed opposition between Venus and Mercury in Scorpio and Jupiter and the Black Moon Lilith in Taurus.  The tension of this Halloween-ish aspect will underlie everything else that occurs this week.

This opposition is well represented by the "Merry Widow."  That's a woman who has lost her husband (Venus in Scorpio) but shows up at his funeral, somewhat flirty and mirthful (Jupiter).  There may an inheritance involved (Venus) and people gossip (Mercury), wondering if she might have had something to do with the death. If you like this kind of theme, you'll not be disappointed this week.
 
Thursday and Friday, the Sun, Moon and Saturn are in Venus-ruled signs with Venus herself opposing Jupiter.  Anyway you turn it, people will be focused on relationships and with Venus in Scorpio, many will be obsessed.
 
The  Moon is in Gemini for the weekend. Gemini is light on its feet but with ruler Mercury in Scorpio, plenty of people will remain preoccupied, most likely with another person. Snooping is what comes to mind.  Invasion of privacy and paranoia on both sides.  That is,people are concerned about snooping and snoopers are concerned about being caught.

Monday we have a Grand Trine in Air which will offer distraction to people who'd rather not dig around in the mud and blood, though it will still going on.  Visualize a party where the Scorpios stand on the periphery with their backs to the wall, scanning.

Tuesday, the Moon enters Cancer. It's supported by the planets in Scorpio but squares Pluto so you may continue to feel unnerved.

Wednesday, the Moon in Cancer squares the Sun and Saturn in Libra causing people to want to take control of their emotion.  Simultaneously, the Taurus-Scorpio opposition begins to break up so they will probably be successful.

This rounds out our week, enjoy!
