June 9th, 2019: Confusion Here, Focus There

Sun in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces (18 deg)
Vesta enters Taurus
Sun/Neptune can blur your focus and scatter your sense of purpose. Choices can multiply beyond what is reasonable, and some or all of what you have to choose from may be an illusion. You could be undermined by what’s happening or you could get caught up in a lie or meaningless distraction.
The best way to handle this influence is to accept that much of what you see and hear will probably be false or completely divorced from reality. If you’re struggling with focus, purpose and ego, today might be a good day to rest and just allow the various options to drift in front of you. Wait to see what sticks and what dissolves.
What can counteract the above is Vesta’s move into grounded Taurus. Vesta is supreme focus and sacred energy. In Taurus, that focus is trained on what’s real and valuable – what you can touch, what works, what’s secure. While Vesta’s obsessive focus can become blinkered in this stubborn sign, for today it’s a nice way to balance out any confusion from Sun/Neptune. If you’re getting lost, pay attention to an area that involves earned money, self-esteem, resources, physical issues or fertility/growth. What’s happening there? What’s non-negotiable and absolutely sacred? That’s your bottom line.
Vesta will have an extended run in Taurus, stationing Rx on Sept 23rd at 27 deg and direct on Dec 29th at 12 deg. 12 to 27 deg Taurus in your chart will be quadrupled underlined – your attention will be driven there, again and again.
She will exit Taurus for Gemini on Mar 21st, 2020.

RIP Dr. John
http://gty.im/675432312 My younger readers may not know anything about Dr. John the Night Tripper, whose Voodoo-styled brand of psychedelic rock was one of the more intriguing sounds to come out of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Although he continued to play music throughout his life and won six Grammy awards, the magical persona […]

Venus’ Transit of Gemini

Photo by Felipe Moutinho from Pexels
Venus enters Gemini on June 8th. Relationships, money and values become more flexible as multiple choices and various layers appear. This is about considering Plan B or the alternative regarding what you want.
At the same time, communication and new information become important for making connections.This is the time to reach out and charm others (or be charmed). What you want/love can be fun or unstable, depending on how you handle this mutable energy. Conversations can be flirtatious and cute, facts can be amusing, distracting or valuable. Again, much depends on what you do with the multiple choices presented to you. Sometimes the value is in the variety – sometimes you need to see what else is available to appreciate what you have, or to understand that you want something different.
This is the transit that allows you to check out what’s intriguing without committing. You can say “Yes” without saying “Forever.” It’s also good for detaching yourself from what you want and approaching it from an intellectual angle. This can be helpful if you’ve become so caught up in the desire that you’ve lost sight of the facts. There’s always more and different – you are never stuck. This transit shows you how.
Here are the aspects Venus in Gemini will make:
Jun 12th: opposite Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (4 deg)
Jun 12th: square Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (4 deg)
Jun 13th: sextle Chiron in Aries (5 deg)
Jun 18th: trine Pallas in Libra (11 deg)
Jun 23rd: opposite Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (17 deg)
June 23rd: inconjunct Saturn Rx in Capricorn (18 deg)
Jun 24th: square Neptune Rx in Pisces (18 deg)
Jun 27th: inconjunct Pluto Rx in Capricorn (22 deg)
Jul 3rd: Cancer ingress
