Dear Moonkisssd,
I read your piece on Mars retrograde. It was very good. I was born 
near a Mars station on Oct 31, 1956 @ 8:00AM. I was born in the Mars retrograde cycle and so were six members of my family - coincidence? When Mars is retro I feel best. But I do have a problem with anger which is why I work out. What do you think of all this?
Dear Retro,
So is it hard for you to be direct? Or know when to appropriately act and put your identity on the line, and when to pull back? Mars in Pisces’ anger gets stuffed, like a message in a bottle thrown out to sea.

Dear Moonkissd,
I’ve been following your blog for a while now, it makes a very interesting and insightful read!
I have a question regarding my ex Capricorn boyfriend. We were together for a little less than four years and the plan was to get married, have kids, live a life together. I still cry over it when I think about it.
We split up 8 months ago, and I still find my self loving him just the same and endlessly hoping he will return to me one day. The situation was very serious, especially for a guy like him who builds all of his relationships in life on trust, and he decided to dump me. What happened is that another guy kissed me, which I wasn’t really expecting and my ex found about it.

Venus in Libra is learning the art of the kiss all over again, cuddling 
up to Mr. International, Sagittarius Sun. After all, when visiting a foreign country one must be mindful of her kissing etiquette. There is one global rule: when diving in, always go for the right cheek first.
If you’re visiting, say France, home of the French kiss - “kissing is a way of life.” Four kisses suit the French. In Italy, there are no rules to the number of kisses (or fanny slaps) one can give/receive - which can lead to unsolicited & troubling hanky panky. But in Germany, a kissy, kissy greeting? As Amy Winehouse sings, No, no, no.

Who invented multi-tasking? And did they really believe multi-
tasking would increase personal effectiveness? In every single job interview as far back as I can remember, I proclaimed proudly to the interviewer, “And…I’m a great multi-tasker.” Like it was a strength. yeah, right.
Honestly, I think it was a Gemini, and the Gemini hooked up with a Capricorn for a corporate plot -a thinly disguised greedy sham to increase productivity for the Man. Sure the U.S. was vulnerable, with the longest work week and the least vacation hours in the world - and if we’re not driven to physical exhaustion, the multi-tasking will blow our minds.
Saturn in Virgo is onto you, baby.

I’m in a foreign country! It’s the fun & festive holiday season! I don’t 
understand the language! I’m simultaneously disoriented and happily enthused! And I’m incredibly optimistic about the whole experience.
I figure I’m a living, breathing, walking advert for the Sun’s entry into Sagittarius, the sign known for its “adaptable enthusiasm.”

Hi Moonkissd!
I was born on April 23, 1984 at 12:23 or 12:24 p.m. in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I am currently a registered nurse in San Francisco. I have moved all my life due to my father being in the military. I currently live on my own with my brother because my parents, whom I am very close to, just moved to Puerto Rico. It has been a difficult change because I now have the responsibility to provide for my brother what my parents provided for both him and I. I believe life is beautiful and I try to share that with others. I am a happy person and a free spirit. However, due to the changes within the last few months I feel almost trapped not knowing where my life is going or how long I will be in this position. As for love, I’ve had my lows within the last few years and on a recent trip met someone who gave me hope. Whether it will lead to anything, I’m not sure but I believe in love again. In any case, I just wonder what is in store for me in the future? What is my purpose in life? Any input would be appreciated and I thank you for your time.

Mars in Cancer and Venus in Libra square off this week, but discovered more in common than not.
Mars was reading COSMO and took notes on what turns a guy on and off.
-Men like a challenge in the form of “an irresistible dare.”
-Men like to feel needed.
-Men don’t like overly aggressive and suggestive women, who play with the cherry in their drink from across the bar, or throw themselves at him.

Dear Moonkissd,
I really think I made a big mistake, by letting go of a guy that I can’t get out of my head. His D.O.B. is Aug.21, 1960 Leo. My D.O.B. is Oct. 22, 1963. I honestly thought he was living a secret gay life, but, I just don’t know what to believe. I wake up thinking about him and go to bed thinking about him.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Normally, 
I’m not one to shy away from an opportunity to remove my clothes, especially when it involves certain activities…like swimming in warm, wonderful water. I’m a water baby, I love the womblike existence of water.
So when we trudged out in the snow last Sunday afternoon to the Vienesse bathouse, we donned our swimwear in the partitioned changing area, because we didn’t know better.

Hi Moonkiss.I have a question. I’m a 47 year-old Sagittarius. I was relieved to read my yearly horoscope and hear that us Sags were supposed to be the favorites of Jupiter this year. So far I have yet to see it materialize in my own life. I’ve gone through many injuries and surgeries since 1995. I was most recently injured in 2002 and had surgery in April 2004 in which rods and screws were installed in my back. The lawsuit is now in the final stages. However, it feels as though it’s taking forever to finally end. I can no longer work and rely on my husband, daughter, and meager social security and disability payments to survive. I just wanted to know when is it going to get better for us Sags or more importantly, me? (more…)
I came across this amazing body art by Australian artist Rudi Everts - pretty remarkable, eh? For fun try identifying which body part has morphed into your favorite animal/symbol.
Tattoos are also a form of body art, and although mine aren’t nearly as elaborate, I consider both of my tattoos magical, having timed them with intentionality to the planetary transits. I got my first tattoo the day Saturn entered Leo, on my lower back, my 2nd chakra, with absolute conviction that the symbolic act would manifest true love and living from my passion (Saturn in Leo). It worked! (All by divine design of course) Don’t underestimate the power of the planets to make magic. By observing planetary passes (more…)
On Wednesday, Mars, that rabble rousing wandering star, moves retrograde in Cancer. This is one of the clearest articles I’ve read about the astronomical phenomenon of retrograde. Astrologically speaking, is that like Mars doing the Moonwalk, backwards? Put on your Moon boots and Moon muffs people! (more…)
“Her music is like going swimming in a lake at night.” -Tom Wait
Jesca Hoop was Tom Wait’s nanny, the legendary voice that sounds like he’s had one too many nights of whisky and Marlboro reds. As if that weren’t enough to pique your curiosity, when NPR first played her, her song was the most requested for two months running. What does this have to do with astrology? It’s admittedly incidental.

I’m sitting in a cafe, a woman glances over her shoulder and looks at the chart on my laptop & says something 
German to her girlfriend, and they both smile real big. They say in English:
Are you working on a horoscope?
Ah, astrology is the universal language. I tell them about myself, that I’m visiting from the US, that I’m presently working on a column. Then the question,
Can you tell me when I will get married to my boyfriend?
With Venus’ move into Libra, singles are talking and thinking about relationships they want, and marriage. Couples are getting along better than ever. The people and things we fall for are beautiful and intelligent, ever so poised. Like Grace Kelly, elegant in every way. Venus in Libra can do no wrong.

I’m writing to you from the Café Sperl, a very old coffee house in Vienna, Austria directly across the street from our top floor flat with windows only to the clouds. I will be here 7 weeks. Today it is raining and grey. From my window seat, the mahogany paneling and Victorian upholstery evoke a different time and place, centuries away from California, 21st century. (more…)
Hi Moonkissd!
I have a problem. I’ve been reading article after article saying that you shouldn’t initiate new things during a retrograde. I know that Mars and Saturn are about to go retrograde. My question is when should I go in to follow up on a job application I filled out? I sent the application in on October 1. I currently have a part time job teaching at a community college. The semester ends a week before Christmas. The new, better paying job I’m seeking basically requires that you be slim and beautiful. But when is the best time to go in and show them myself? I need to let my current boss know whether I’m available for the spring semester soon.
