Venus enters Gemini this week, making for a shift in the love lives of many of you. But we’ll get to that in a minute, because after all, you can’t have a decent love story without some obstacles and frustrations along the way to that happy ending….
Tuesday: the Moon is Void of Course in Aries — all day long. If you get that feeling the whole day is going nowhere fast — or perhaps going nowhere far too slowly for your taste — you’d be exactly right. That, and the Moon goes Void after Wednesday’s eclipse until mid-day the next day. Try to avoid firing up any new projects. Wait … an eclipse? Egad!
Wednesday sees the second of three eclipses in a row. What can one say about an eclipse that hasn’t already been said by millenia of panicked villagers with torches, demanding that the Gods put things right again? Surprises, shake-ups, and the unexpected are often a feature on an eclipse. In this case, the Sun and Moon are conjunct at 19 degrees Taurus, with Mercury and Mars thrown into the mix. Check where those degrees fall in your chart, and even if there’s no obvious aspects to any of your major placements, that part of your chart is likely to feel some shaking. It’s easy sometimes to feel a bit trampled by an eclipse, but forewarned is forearmed. Just keep in mind the message printed in big, friendly letters on the front cover of The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy: DON’T PANIC.
Oh, right … romance! On Eclipse Day, Venus enters Gemini. Let’s not forget that an eclipse has an effect beyond simply where the Sun and Moon are at: if you have any major placements aspecting 0 degrees Gemini — especially your Venus or Jupiter — things could be getting pretty warm and fuzzy with you and that certain Someone pretty soon. Even if it doesn’t, a change is as good as a rest, and although Venus in Taurus was a great placement, it’s a bit slow on the uptake. If what you need is to spark things up a little that way — whether with a new relationship or talking some more life into a current one — conditions are favorable.
There you have it. Now aren’t you glad you didn’t run around panicking and burning the village down when that eclipse hit?
