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, […]

May 22nd, 2019: Mixed Messages and Forward Movement

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

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

  • Neptune in Pisces trine the Cancer North Node (18 deg)

Mercury/BML

There may be misinformation about sexual issues or gossip about the other woman/unacceptable woman. There will be a multiple sides to her story, which can be confusing. Perhaps you’re having trouble focusing on a BML issue (a destructive attraction or taboo subject) – are you avoiding a truth or spinning distracting lies?

Mars/Uranus

Here is the gentle nudge forward. Uranus in Taurus’ major update of habits/resources/values can help you act on a nurturing or family matter. It’s time to take action and initiate changes, but you don’t have to move abruptly or take big risks. Slow and steady as you step into new territory.

Neptune/North Node

Continuing the forward theme, the Cancer North Node is activated by release, forgiveness, acceptance or imagination. If you open yourself up to an ending or new experience, you may feel a gentle pull towards something that feels right. “Feel” is the key word, because the Cancer North Node is about what resonates emotionally.

Gemini Season

Gemini season begins on May 21st with the Sun’s ingress at 3:59 am EDT.

This is the season of choices, duality and fast-moving information. Nothing is straightforward because there is always another layer. Gemini is the storyteller, the juggler, the trickster. But Gemini also illuminates new information and alternative paths. If you thought you were stuck, this energy can reveal your way out.

Gemini reminds that everything has another side. Look for the “yes, but…”

Mercury (Gemini’s ruler) also enters this sign today and forms a superior conjunction with the Sun at 0 deg. In the Sun/Mercury cycle, this is the “Full Moon” or result. It tells us that this Gemini season will be about a key piece of info or a messenger that reveals more questions/options/layers. The result may be connected to the previous Sun/Mercury conjunction on March 14th at 24 deg Pisces, when Mercury was Rx.

Here are the aspects the Sun in Gemini will make:

  • May 21st: conjunction with Mercury (0 deg)

  • May 23rd: square Black Moon Lilith (2 deg Pisces)

  • May 26th: sextile to Chiron in Aries (5 deg)

  • May 28th: opposite Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (7 deg)

  • May 31st: trine Pallas in Libra (10 deg)

  • Jun 3rd: New Moon (12 deg Gemini)

  • Jun 9th: square Neptune in Pisces (18 deg)

  • Jun 10th: inconjunct Saturn Rx in Capricorn (19 deg)

  • Jun 10th: opposite Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (19 deg)

  • Jun 13th: inconjunct Pluto Rx in Capricorn ( 22 deg)

  • Jun 17th: Full Moon (25 deg Sagittarius)

  • Jun 21st: Cancer ingress

Mercury’s Transit of Gemini: Think Fast

by  •

Mercury enters Gemini on May 21st. Gemini increases the amount of information that’s exchanged due to the speed and ability to understand the duality of all situations. Mercury is strong in the sign it rules, so all words and ideas have an edge.

Messages will be quick and sharp (Mercury in Gemini has a mischievous side due to increased curiosity). If you receive a compliment, assurance or answer, you may wonder if you detect a smirk or a light bit of teasing. If you think there’s more to it, there probably is- Mercury in Gemini often has a double message.

This transits asks “What would happen if…?” This is not sentimental energy- it’s bright, light, edgy and witty.

Not everything you hear will be solid. Some of it will be conjecture. Some of it will be half-truths. You’ll need to sift through the sound bites and discern which facts are keepers. Be prepared to think on your toes and don’t blindly accept everything you learn.

Ask questions.

Here are the aspects Mercury in Gemini will make:

  • May 21st: conjunction with the Sun (0 deg)

  • May 22nd: square Black Moon Lilith (2 deg Pisces)

  • May 23rd: sextile to Chiron in Aries (5 deg)

  • May 25th: opposite Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (8 deg)

  • May 26th: trine Pallas in Libra (10 deg)

  • May 29th: square Neptune in Pisces (18 deg)

  • May 30th: inconjunct Saturn Rx in Capricorn (19 deg)

  • May 30th: opposite Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (20 deg)

  • May 31st: inconjunct Pluto Rx in Capricorn ( 22 deg)

  • Jun 3rd: sextile Vesta in Aries (27 deg)

  • Jun 4th: Cancer ingress

Your Month Ahead Podcast: May 21-June 21

by  • 

This month’s podcast was recorded while Mars was still in Gemini, hence the rather breathless pace! There’s lots to talk about and ponder. Questions such as, “What do these tennis players have in common?” and “What’s the incredibly loud sound in the background?” are both asked and answered. Tune in to hear about your month ahead and more about the sign of the Twins. Since this was recorded in the beauteous surroundings of the Chelsea Physic Garden, here are some pictures I took on the day for you to enjoy while you listen.

May 14th, 2019: Keep it Light and Watch it Grow

  • Waxing Trine between the Virgo Moon and Taurus Sun (23 deg)

  • Venus in Aries sextile Mars in Gemini (28 deg)

Today should be a basically harmonious day. The Waxing Trine helps you integrate improvements into what’s already been established. Just because it’s steady doesn’t mean it can’t stand a bit of refining. This energy enables the application of a few tweaks to what’s already working, so it can work even better.

Taurus is ruled by Venus and Venus’ sextile to Mars supports what’s happening with a gentle resonance between actions and what you want. Make a choice (Gemini) but do it lightly- assert your information/facts (lightly) and watch it as it manifests what you want (Venus). Venus/Mars is light, quick energy so you’re not insisting on anything. One little push is all it takes. But the Waxing Trine in the Earth signs says this can result in something real.

The Venus/Mars connection can be flirtatious and a bit cheeky – Mars in Gemini is assertive teasing or verbal challenges, and Venus in Aries likes this (it’s hot). But what starts off as a spark can solidify into something more, via the Waxing Trine.
