Changes, changes! As you noticed, the astroanne.com and anneortelee.com websites have changed. They will continue to evolve over the next few weeks as we load more content up into it. It isn’t quite what I want yet but close enough to get out there before Mercury goes Retrograde.

The old site, while much loved, was taking increasingly longer and longer to load (it loaded all 400+ entries). And the software was degrading around our ears as Yahoo migrated out of supporting it. They moved onto a new platform…. So we finally leaped too.

The new site allows for RSS feeds to you so you can be alerted when posts go up. It is easier to share with Facebook, twitter and other kinds of services. I can add things myself ~ always good for a Virgo gal to be able to tinker and tweak. Stuff has moved around but all of it is still there (at least I think it is ~ if you notice something missing email me!).

And More Will Be Coming! So stay tuned.

Weekly Weather November 14, 2011

The eclipses are coming! The eclipses are coming! We enter eclipse season this week to help us on our journey by illuminating, with a cosmic strobe light, where we don’t have quite enough information and where we find out things that will challenge our philosophy of life.

The eclipses have been in Sagittarius and Gemini since last year. The first were last fall and early winter when Maria Shriver (Sag rising) found out her husband had fathered a child with the woman who helped keep her house, cook and care for their children. Literally, separated by a few days, two boys, twins (South Node in Gemini) were born to Maria and the Housekeeper. In June, the rest of the world found out, when the eclipses revealed Arnold was the father of both. Now as we come to the third pass, right now, their divorce will be finalized with all participants moving onto the next chapters of their lives.

There have been similar eclipses of revealing secrets or information that you need to know but were not aware of ~ South Node in Gemini. The revealing of that knowledge, encourages, cheers and supports you to move forward to a greater understanding and a new philosophy or outlook on life ~ Sagittarius North Node.

We’ve all been having eclipses in the Sagittarius (North Node ~ move towards this area) and Gemini (South Node ~ karma, the past, release this area) the past year. The upcoming eclipses are a New Moon at 2:37 Sagittarius on November 25 and a Full Moon at 18:11 on December 10. Your job, should you decide to accept it (cue the mission impossible theme song) is to go boldly forward. There is a GRAND TRINE IN EARTH with Jupiter, ruler of the Node of Fate, in Fixed Earth Taurus, supporting your forward steps ~ even if the ground feels a bit squishy below your feet.

To be able to move forward boldly and bravely, think about the re-birth energy after the death freeze of Scorpio. All those Christmas tree lights, parties, the abundance of Thanksgiving and the sparkle of the holiday are the exuberance behind this energy. The Nodes are calling you forward. Give yourself permission to go, even if you don’t have a confirmed reservation!

Our week ahead is actually kind of quiet. (the pause before the storm?) Mars is in Virgo so we will be working with his detailed and precise energy for the next 9 months ~ until July 4. As my friend Cathy Van B says “Mars in Virgo is action or anger with a personal twist. It is very hurtful to Virgos. You guys are very Sensitive under all that dirt!” We will all be sensitive under all our dirt Virgos for the next NINE months in the area of our action taking, sex and anger. So get ready to work the process rather than feeling too sensitive and wounded. Yes, they DID mean what they said ~ (and NO it wasn’t very nice of them) HOWEVER, what is YOUR agenda? Focus on working on YOUR agenda. Ignore their agenda.

Mars in Virgo is the anger among the working class people and the “Virgo” types ~ the workers, paid staff, servers, servants, civil servants, peasants, slaves and the not cared for people. See the Occupy Wall Street energy grow stronger and stronger over the next nine months. Mars in Virgo is often strikes among the workers. So while most of us kind of shake our head at the NBA lockout ~ the “workers” ARE actually locked out by their employers, even if they are highly paid. The student riots at Penn State as the Board of Trustees fired the “workers” ~ the coaches ~ in the child abuse sex scandal are another example.

Across the street from my apartment, the Teamsters are protesting and blowing whistles each and every day in front of Sotheby’s Auction House. The unionized Art Handlers were locked out last August. Now we are in High Auction Season with galas, fine furs, Manolos and limos galore. I came home from my class last Wednesday night to some 400 Teamsters and Occupy Wall Street folks. They were carrying signs saying “Sotheby’s sells to the 1%!” and shouting VERY LOUDLY, in unison, “Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame on YOU!” I arrived home as the One-Percenters were leaving the auction house and looking for their limos. The woman in the flowing white dress with her red soled Louboutin high heels looked VERY nervous as she climbed into her waiting town car, chased by chants. All that was missing were the flaming torches and a guillotine for it to be the French Revolution! As I walked to my non-descript apartment building, I was happy the lynch mob wouldn’t think I was part of the 1%.

And then there are the folks who are probably part of the 1% but THINK of themselves as a 99er. From the internet: Mario Batalia said “But I would have to say that who has had the largest effect on the whole planet without us really paying attention across the board and everywhere is the entire banking industry and their disregard for the people that they’re supposed to be working for. … The way the bankers have toppled the way that money is distributed, and taken most of it into their own hands is as good as Stalin or Hitler, the evil guys.” Soon the restaurant world was chattering causing Batali’s spokeswoman to email an apology from him, saying, “It was never my intention to equate our banking industry with Hitler and Stalin, two of the most evil, brutal dictators in modern history.” Many in the banking industry have already tweeted that they’ll take their expense account lunches to someplace other than Babbo and Del Pesto, Batali’s high-priced restaurants.

So watch in your own life where you are set up for OR experiencing conflict as a “worker” or a “perceived/actual 1%er” ~or as a person in power. Watch the Mars in Virgo come flying at you. Watch for your anger with authorities in your life to fly out of control with criticism. Take that Mars in Virgo energy and use it in other ways. Start an exercise program. Start a business for extra income. Get your house organized. Make a big to-do list. Tackle your health issues. Keep focused on your own agenda. You have YOUR agenda. Focus on it. We ALL have Mars in Virgo in the sky for the next nine months. It can be incredibly PRODUCTIVE. It can also be incredibly CRITICAL, PICKY, FUSSY, THIN SKINNED and DIFFICULT. There isn’t anyone on earth that doesn’t have an authority some place in their life so we all will be experiencing Mars in Virgo when they give us orders.

We build toward the eclipses over this week and next. We are in Mercury’s shadow so expect folks from your past to re-appear or reconnect. There are not a great many aspects this week ~ kind of quiet actually. Watch who you meet on Monday and Tuesday when the Nodes connect with the Sun by declination and Venus and Mercury join the North Node of Fate ~ you’ll be offered something or meet someone important to your future path. Pay attention and make sure to get their business card! And give them your business card! SAY YES ~ even if you are not sure HOW to….!
