Listen up, people: astrology isn’t fatalistic. I can tell you that you’re going to get hit by a truck next Tuesday, but you’ve got the option to avoid jaywalking that day. I can tell you that romance will be great next Wednesday, but if you stay at home and mope all alone, it ain’t gonna happen. This week, I’m not going to tell you what’s going to happen to you … I’m going to tell you what to do about it. There is great benefit to be had, especially if you have major placements around 6 degrees of the Earth or Water Signs, but even if you don’t, follow these directions anyway. Go with me on this….
On Monday, Mercury in Cancer forms a Grand Trine with Saturn and Neptune. They are, arguably, the three most dissimilar planets you could put together, but the combined effect can be spectacular. Mercury is the pure power of the intellect — the often-neglected but utterly necessary data-processing center of your mind. Saturn is structure and limitation — the solid foundation that makes makes your home either stand or sink into the mud. Neptune is The Divine Dreamer — often too floaty and elusive to be of practical use, but it speaks to the soul like no other planet. These three planets are joined to form an engine of gigantic transformation, but only if you do the work.
Monday: sit down and think calmly and logically about the details in your life that you want to change. Mull over the observable, practical changes you can make — the big shifts you want, but broken down into individual steps.
On Friday, Mercury has moved on, but Venus passes by six degrees Cancer, forming the same Grand Trine, but with an emphasis more on the heart than on the head. At the beginning of the work week, you had the chance to draw a road map to the future you want. Now is the time to sit down and really feel it, because no road trip is fun unless your heart is in it.
Friday: dare to dream. You’ve already seen where you want to go … now believe it.
Oh, and Saturday? A New Moon in Gemini, and a new cycle begins with Venus as a major player, with Jupiter making its final run through Gemini on its way to Cancer (the Sign of its exaltation) by the end of the month.
If you follow these directions, you will have successfully assembled a better future for yourself. Don’t forget to thank me later when it pays off, okay?
