Do you Twitter? Do you not know wth I'm talking about? :)

Twitter allows anyone to say what they will to whomever is listening (mostly your Twitter followers) -- what you're up to, what's going on, or whatever you want to share ... but you've gotta do it in 140 characters or less. Since I signed up for the free account in April 2009, I've met some wonderful tweeps. It's also helped me get to the point, already :) Tweeting astro-forecasts in 140 characters or less is a fun, little challenge each tweet.

A new Twitter friend (yay!) @weeclaire asked me for my explanation of the zodiac signs in 140 characters or less. Check out what I had to say:
http://weeclaire.com/2011/03/07/140-character-star-signs/. I had a great time writing them. Hope you like...

If you're on Twitterville, feel free to follow me @astrogrrl. Make sure to @ reply me so I'll know to follow you back. Who knows?! It might become the beginning of a beautiful friendship :) If you're not on Twitter, sign up... it's free... it's fun https://twitter.com/signup.

What a beautiful start to the weekend with Friday night's Gemini-Moon (heart) wonderfully aligned with jovial Jupiter (abundance). Saturday evening is just as love with the Moon happily linked to Mercury (interaction) and Saturn (structure). Sunday continues with the Moon and the Sun (ego) in harmony in the afternoon then dreamy as the evening begins with the Moon and Neptune (escape) connecting. Perhaps a surprising twist occurs as the Gemini-Moon makes her final alignment to Uranus (unexpected) before coming home to Cancer in the evening.

It might very well be a truly dreamy weekend with the Moon in Pisces. However, Venus in Capricorn might have other things in mind. In Capricorn, Venus requires stable, lasting relationships. Luckily, Venus (love) and Mercury (communication) both link up with Jupiter (bliss) all weekend for a serving of optimism and goodwill.

The Sagittarius-Moon (adventurous heart) makes a lovely angle to Mars (action/drive) on Friday night and a beautiful connection with Venus (love/harmony) on Saturday night. Those staying out into the wee hours of the night will also get a feel for the Moon's friendly link with Neptune (hope/dreams).

By the time we wake Sunday morning, the previous evening's fun seem far away as the Moon takes on a more serious, less frivolous tone in Capricorn. Jupiter (luck/happiness) may try to lighten things up mid-morning. But my early evening, the Moon blends energies with Pluto (elimination) which provides the bridge between the end of the weekend and the beginning of the new work week.

It's an exciting weekend with Jupiter (luck/happiness) returning to Aries (bold/impulsive) to finish what he started last June. Venus' friendly link with Saturn offers an opportunity to recognize or be reminded of just what makes our relationship/s so dear to us. Through the good days and the tough ones ... through laughter and tears. Relationships strengthen.

The Virgo-Moon may seek to analyze and pick at what it can't make heads or tails with. It's best to keep things simple and remember that emotions can't always be explained. Matters of the heart need not be rational for them to be valid or be of significance. By late Sunday afternoon, the Moon's entrance in Libra lightens moods with Libra charm and humor.

We may feel the need to cling to what's comfortable and familiar with the Moon (heart/inner core) in Taurus and as Mars (drive/motivation) moves through the final degrees of Capricorn as the work week closes and weekend begins.

By the time we wake Saturday, the Moon will have left Taurus for the more social sign of Gemini. Gone is the need for laying low and feeling secure in our surroundings. We're up and about, ready to take on the weekend with a smile and conversation :)

By afternoon, Mars begins his transit in fellow air sign Aquarius, where anything can happen! Surprises around the corner. Forget about making plans. Just go with the flow, especially with the Moon opposing Venus (love/relationships) late Saturday evening. Flexibility becomes a must for the rest of the weekend, as the Moon and Saturn (limitations/reality) link up mid-day on Sunday.

Tense skies this weekend with Saturn (reality/restrictions) in conflict with the Sun (ego/will). Saturn is currently in relationships sign, Libra, while the Sun is headstrong in Capricorn. Neither are willing to budge. Luckily, the Moon (heart/inner drives) is in peaceable Pisces to help lighten the blows and promote compassion.

Elsewhere in the sky, Venus (love/relationships) begins her transit in optimistic, fun-loving Sagittarius, and the collaboration between jolly Jupiter and surprising Uranus remain strong in Pisces, where they seek true understanding. Hopefully, these energies will also help us make wiser choices.

The Sagittarius-Sun (conscious will) is busy making connections this weekend. He gets friendly with Neptune (hope/dreams) and Chiron (wounds/healing), while throwing a little attitude with Uranus (radical change/surprises). Then on Sunday, the Sun quickly gives retrograde-Mercury (thought/communication) a warm welcome, just as he re-enters Sagittarius.

Elsewhere in the sky, the Moon is cozy in Taurus on Friday, but gets the social bug on Saturday night when she enters Gemini where she stays for the remainder of the weekend.

The weekend kicks off with Mercury (thought/communication) slowwwwwwing things down as he stations in preparation for retrograde motion. To makes more interesting, Mercury links up with Venus (relationships) while he stations. Both Mercury and Venus are in headstrong signs (Capricorn/Scorpio, respectively) which are also signs focused on the longer term issues. The Sun (conscious will) remains in open-minded Sagittarius, while Mars (aggression/motivation) continues to transit determined Capricorn with Mercury.

Friday, the Aquarius-Moon adds some unpredictability to the evening. By late Saturday morning, the Moon slips into calmer, more compassionate Pisces. Hopefully, this energy shift helps with managing whatever havoc Mercury's retrograde may be causing.

Friday starts off a little rocky with Mars (aggression) and Uranus (the unexpected) battling it out. With the Moon (heart) and Venus (love) in Scorpio, pincers are ready to strike and the venomous tail prime for attack. Fortunately, the Scorpio-Moon makes a beautiful angle with Jupiter before the evening ends and amends may be made before bed time.

The Moon lightens her mood upon entering Sagittarius on Saturday morning and prepares for the New Moon occurring on the following day, Sunday. But with Mercury (thought) conjunct Pluto (control), interactions may intensify anyway. We seek a deeper level of connection with others. Conversations are more meaningful. There's also greater focus on the matter at hand. Plus, anything is possible when the planet of surprises, Uranus, shifts his energy by stationing direct.

It's relatively quiet, celestially, compared to last weekend. Sagittarius-Mars (action/motivation) gets friendly with Libra-Saturn (reality/hard work). This is especially beneficial for those who might have to work throughout the weekend. On a personal level, this gives us all extra gumption to take action on what we may have been procrastinating on or dreading of doing. This alliance between Mars and Saturn offers more perseverance and dedication to the work or obligation that must be done.

Happy Halloween :)

The Sun (ego), Mercury (thought) and Venus (love) remain in passionate Scorpio. Mars (sex) has moved on to freedom-loving Sagittarius. The Moon (heart) is in expressive Leo until Sunday night. Emotions may run high. But if we keep talk and listen with love in our hearts and no pre-judgements in our minds, this could be a wonderful weekend.

The weekend kicks off with an Aries-Full Moon early Friday evening. It is the second one this year; last occurrence was September 23. By 7:30 p.m. PST, the Moon (heart) will have slipped into Taurus, where she remains for the duration of the weekend and her sensitivities gain some stability. Saturday, the Sun (self) leaves balance-seeking Libra and joins Mercury (thought), Venus (relationships) and Mars (motivation) in the more discriminating sign of Scorpio, where feelings and intuition can sometimes take over logic. The Taurus-Moon should help ground emotions and give reason a chance.

Venus, the planet of love, remains retrograde this weekend. She is still joined by Mars in the deeply feeling, super determined sign of Scorpio. The Sun and Mercury blend energies all weekend; and in the sign of Libra, logic and objectivity will be what's needed arrive at a compromise. Saturn is also still in Libra and keeping things real. The Moon is in eclectic, electric and social sign of Aquarius from Friday through Sunday evening. Expect the unexpected. Enjoy life's little surprises!

Mercury (thought/communication), who has newly joined Saturn (reality/restrictions) and the Sun (potential/will) in the relationships sign of Libra, blends energies with Saturn all weekend. Venus (love/relationship) and Mars (action/motivation) remain in passionate Scorpio, where the Moon (heart) joins them. Relationships deepen, especially with Venus beginning her retrograde cycle, and she becomes more introspective. There's a need for more meaningful ties. For couples who have been together for many years, take time to reconnect this weekend -- mind, body and soul.
