Neptune in Pisces: 2012’s Sneak Preview
Forget the Armageddon-style Hollywood hype about 2012. The kinder, gentler spin on this much-discussed year is that it will be a time of spiritual enlightenment, compassion and elevated consciousness. Much of this has to do with the presence of healing, karmic and mystical Neptune’s presence in its home sign of Pisces. In February 2012, Neptune settles in for a 13-year journey, but guess what? Today we get a sneak preview! Neptune visits Pisces from April 4 through August 4, 2011, signaling an urgent need for L-O-V-E to heal our planet.

Pluto Retrograde: The Journey Within
Get ready for some serious soul-searching, especially around your career and long-term goals. From April 9 through September 15, transformational Pluto will go retrograde (backward) in structured Capricorn. Pluto rules our unconscious urges, drives and desires — it could be called the “shadow” side of the self. In mythology, Pluto lords over the underworld, which is why this planet (yes, we still consider it a planet) has sinister connotations that make some folks shudder.
William & Kate: Are They Compatible?
Is the new royal couple meant to be? In many ways, they’re a perfect match. William is a Cancer, the sign of the mother, and Kate is a Capricorn, the sign of the father. Interesting astro gender-bender, but this opposite-sign combo definitely attracts! As an Earth sign, a practical Capricorn like Kate is a grounding force for Will’s watery, emotional Cancer.
William & Kate by the Numbers
The royal wedding is gearing up to be the event of the century. We are about to see a true Prince Charming marrying the Cinderella “girl next door.” Their story could not have been better scripted if it was a Hollywood movie (or maybe a romantic Lifetime movie).

Mercury in Aries: Speak With Power!
Been biting your tongue, faking politeness or generally repressing your feelings? The veil of silence (and conflict avoidance) lifts today. Communication planet Mercury enters bold, outspoken Aries, helping you advocate for yourself. While your hands may shake a little when you voice your truth, holding it back feels worse. Mercury in Aries nudges you to champion your cause, even if that means engaging in a little competition or conflict. Aries, after all, is ruled by warrior planet Mars, who never backed down from a challenge. And now, neither should you.
Uranus Enters Aries: 7 Years of Change
Hold on to your hat! Today, change-maker Uranus moves from Pisces into Aries — its first move in seven years. Radical Uranus entered Pisces in March 2003. Pisces is a Water sign that rules the seas, and indeed we’ve seen Uranus bring its revolutionary and “awakening” touch here. Oil spills and clean-water campaigns have definitely made news in the past seven years. We also saw devastating hurricanes, including Katrina’s devastation of New Orleans in 2005. Tsunamis, like the one that struck Thailand in 2004, have become a more frequent natural disaster, too.
Japan’s Plight: An Astrological Look
On March 11, the day Japan was rocked by a devastating earthquake and a tsunami, the stars made a major transit that coincided with this disaster. Uranus, the planet of instability and unexpected events, moved from Pisces (ruler of the sea) into Aries (ruler of fire, metal, explosions). Uranus creates the kind of energetic turbulence that could trigger an earthquake, a tsunami and a nuclear power plant explosion all in one day. In fact, Uranus rules electricity, which is generated by nuclear power (uranium).
“American Idol”: Contestants’ Signs Revealed
Last night on “Idol” (yes, we’re still hooked, even at Season 10), contestants performed songs recorded the year they were born, and most of their birthdates were announced. This delighted us, of course, since we were able to discover their zodiac signs so early in the season!
