June 10th, 2019: The Crisis of Precision

by  •

  • First Quarter Square between the Virgo Moon and Gemini Sun (19 deg)

  • Virgo Moon square Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (19 deg)

  • Sun in Gemini opposite Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius ( 19 deg)

The First Quarter Square involves tense aspects to Jupiter Rx. Specific details challenge hopeful results. While those results (Sun/Jupiter) can deliver a ton of opportunity, you’re encouraged to look closely at hard truths (Virgo Moon) that are emerging. These may be annoying or unpleasant little details that you’d rather not bother with, but if they reveal mistakes you’ll have to take action and make corrections.

Doubts can be raised, but they do not invalidate this opportunity. Note that the Sun is opposing Jupiter after its square to Neptune yesterday, so you’re moving on from vague/confusing issues to a big finish. You just have to pay attention to small corrections that need to made now. Truth versus lies or precision versus carelessness may be themes. The trick is not allowing the details to puncture your hope – make the corrections and then see what you can move forward with.

This is all building to the second Jupiter/Neptune square on June 16th – the crisis of expansion as dreams cause tension with faith or honesty. Jupiter is Rx, so now is the time to ask those questions. If you handle this First Quarter Square correctly, you may have a handle on the slippery Jupiter/Neptune square when it hits.

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.

Venus’ Transit of Gemini

by  •

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

June 7th, 2019: Painful Words That Need To Be Said

  • Waxing Sextile between the Leo Moon and Gemini Sun (16 deg)

  • Mercury in Cancer sextile Uranus in Taurus (4 deg)

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

Waxing Sextile

Here we have a gently sparkling energy that encourages you to take pride in your words or go public with your ideas. You can gain favourable attention by communicating, but you have to step into the spotlight and say “Listen to me.” This is not loud and dramatic – consider it as light and playful but worthy of notice.

Mercury

Mercury (ruler of Gemini) starts things off right with a sextile to Uranus – slightly daring/innovative words but nothing too crazy. The freedom to speak out in your comfort zone. But then the square to Chiron, which could make it difficult. You may shrink back from saying your piece because you feel vulnerable. Or, anything that’s said may feel so personal that it hurts, no matter how you put it out there.

Understand that there will be some painful conversations or thoughts today (most likely about past and family). You can’t avoid it, but you can use the energy of the Waning Sextile to forge ahead. Just say it/write it, and use the added nudge from Uranus to say what’s not quite “proper” or put a different twist on it- you have the freedom to articulate and Chiron’s wounds don’t do go away just because you avoid them.
