  • Moon in Aquarius trine Mercury in Gemini (6 deg)

  • Moon in Aquarius square Venus in Taurus (11 deg)

Open and detached communication can unfold smoothly with the Moon/Mercury trine. Step back from the choices and you’ll discover some new and interesting angles. Perhaps there are more choices than you realized. Excellent for communicating unconventional ideas or connecting with odd, inspirational people.

However, Moon/Venus suggests some discord between this detachment versus solid, predictable manifestations of what you want. The tension between materialism/possessiveness versus freedom can trigger insecurities and corresponding intensified desires.

So the head is on track, but the heart will experience some bumps. When in doubt, talk it out. If someone tells you they need more space, try not to react by tightening your grip. Take a deep breath and view the available options with clear eyes.

Tories at the Guillotine

by  • 

The Grim Reaper is currently making a second approach to the Ascendant of the British Conservative party. The last time Saturn was in these degrees of Capricorn, 1990, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was dispatched in a bloodless coup by her back benchers. Another Prime Minister is about to be disposed of by her own party, but this time the situation is much, much worse for the Tories. They are in an existential crisis. This is because both Pluto, the Lord of Hell himself, and the South Node, the point of dissipation and release are also hovering around that Ascendant. Indeed, […]

May 23rd, 2019: It Hurts But Keep Talking

by  •

  • Waning Trine between the Aquarius Moon and Gemini Sun (2 deg)

  • Sun in Gemini square Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (2 deg)

  • Mars in Cancer square Chiron in Aries (5 deg)

  • Mercury in Gemini sextile Chiron in Aries (5 deg)

Issues from yesterday’s square between Mercury in Gemini and BML continue as the Sun energizes the difficult conversations or mixed messages. Lilith gets the spotlight in a way that illuminates the crisis between taboo women’s issues and hard choices. Perhaps no option seems favourable, or you’re torn between keeping things light versus acknowledging the dark issue that oozes between the lines.

The Waning Trine can help – this is an aspect of sharing and understanding. An open minded, somewhat detached approach can facilitate cooperation – others will respond favourably to potentially disruptive info if you deliver it cooly and calmly. Give them the option to disagree.

Mars/Chiron adds another twist, as actions/anger/sexuality trigger painful moments. Feelings of vulnerability can be particularly intense, and it will be difficult to not make the wrong move. It will seem like everyone (including you) is easily bruised. Fortunately, Mercury is also aspecting Chiron, but it’s making an easy sextile. Talk about what hurts; keep it light, explore multiple solutions, but keep talking and asking questions.

This is also an encouraging aspect for the squares to BML, suggesting that yesterday’s difficult messages can be sorted with a mix of logic and empathy. You’re touching on what hurts and looking at the facts, but you’re not pressing down on it.

11 Things To Do While The Sun’s in Gemini

by  • 

Gemini season is upon us at last. A time, here in the Northern hemisphere, when thoughts turn to the seaside, summer, the open road. This year that Gemini feel is just a little bit stronger, since lithe Mercury, Gemini’s ruler, and the Sun jump into the sign hand in hand, and Mercury will be here until June 4. Why not engage with that Gemini vibe — even if you’re a deep-dyed Scorpio, or a caustic Capricorn? So here are some suggestions to get you started. Remember: fun, wit and feather are Gemini words. Text, email, phone your siblings. You never know, […]
