June 19th, 2017: Keep Talking

by  •

  • Sun in Gemini square Chiron in Pisces: 28 degrees
  • Mercury in Gemini trine the South Node in Aquarius/sextile the North Node in Leo
  • Uranus in Aries conjunct Pallas: 27 degrees

Sun/Chiron suggests that painful choices/information may undermine confidence. The purpose of something (or your purpose) may be in question, due to doubts about competence. Attempts to skate over the sore spot will fail, because the square as crisis aspect indicates you must confront what hurts – perhaps putting yourself out there and openly discussing/learning will expose the wound. Once it’s exposed, you can deal with it. Rather than allowing the discomfort to shatter your purpose, consider both sides of the issue – ego and empathy, power and compassion. 

Meanwhile, Mercury’s aspects to the Nodes encourage you to keep talking/reading/gathering information. The more you know, or the more information you share with others, the more successful your efforts to move forward will be. Key topics will involve the past, and how those events can be integrated into the future. Gemini is uniquely equipped for this, due to the ability to view both sides of the issue. This aspect is part of the Kite, discussed here. 

Uranus/Pallas can trigger brilliant flashes of inspiration. Watch for bold, unusual strategies or odd patterns that suddenly catch your attention. There’s no logic to this one – it’s a lightening-in-a-bottle influence that can’t be rationalized. The initial idea may not make sense, but you should have a tingly feeling that you’re onto something big. 

The Sun/Chiron square may shut you down, or shut you up. But today’s other aspects encourage you to keep talking. Keep looking for answers and consider all sides of your situation. It hurts right now, but the future beckons.
