  • Waxing Trine between the Scorpio Moon and Cancer Sun (19 deg)

  • Mars in Leo trine Chiron Rx in Aries (5 deg)

  • Mars in Leo square Uranus in Taurus (6 deg)

The Waxing Trine enables harmony between what’s safe/comfortable and what can be very uncomfortable. Intensity blends with familiarity, moving you towards a profound exploration of needs, feelings or family issues. Excellent for accessing secrets or personal issues that no one wants to look at. Now’s the chance to dive in and get comfortable in the deeper waters.

The Mars/Chiron trine continues that theme as bold or confident actions trigger healing through courage. The wound is there, but you’ve got the stuff to confront it and move through it – you can stand out/stand up even though you feel vulernable.

But…Mars also squares Uranus. So there will be jolts, accidents, explosions of anger or unexpected displays. Again the backdrop of these smooth trines we have a surge of electricity – it may be a push into the future or an impatient demand for attention, no matter the cost. Maybe this is what triggers the need to go deeper. And it can certainly open up an opportunity for healing (Chiron) through bold actions (Mars).

Mars/Uranus is risky – Mars in Leo likes to play/gamble/grab attention and a hard aspect to Uranus cranks that up. These energies can result in liberation or breakage – caution is advised. What are you trying to accomplish? The current is moving forward but it’s best if you exercise awareness.

  • Sun in Cancer sextile Vesta in Taurus (8 deg)

An area of devotion is subtly empowered. Absolute focus on habits, resources (including money) and security (Vesta in Taurus) is given purpose by emotional or family issues. Pay attention to the gentle intensification of what you need/feel by what you must have or what you’re trying to preserve.

This aspect can solidify a family matter or confirm your security/safety with a gentle nudge – a hint that you’re looking in the correct area. Security is sacred and family values can support abundance. The mood is quietly satisfied.

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.

May 28th, 2019: Questions About Nurturing and a New Agreement

by  • 

Sergei Gribkov

Sergei Gribkov

  • Gemini Sun opposite Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (7 deg)

  • Juno conjunct the Cancer North Node (18 deg)

  • Neptune in Pisces trine Juno (18 deg)

Sun/Ceres

Choices/details are at odds with the bigger picture of growth or escape. An area that you’re trying to grow (involving education, travel, legal matters, publishing or faith/religion) has reached a tense conclusion that feels unsatisfactory.

Gemini raises questions or draws awareness to the other side of the story. In this case, the story involves mother/child issues or something that you are trying to “mother” in your future – there may be questions about the faith you placed in your mother, or your identity as a mother. Ceres is about the cycle of growth, loss and rebirth, so there is always a sub-theme of letting someone go (especially in Sagittarius, the sign of the explorer).

Pay attention to the questions that are being asked about mother/child or the truth about a nurturing issue. The Gemini/Sag axis always involves truth/lies – what’s the story and what are the facts?

Ceres is Rx (retrograde) so you’re returning to this issue.

Juno

There is also some powerful activity in Cancer, another area of nurturing. Cancer puts the focus squarely on home, family and security. Mother/child is a theme once again, but Ceres’ emphasis on loss is not as pronounced.

Ceres in Sag is about nurturing freedom while Cancer is about creating safety.

Juno (relationship agreements) activates the North Node (path forward) and is supported by Neptune. This is positive for a new relationship agreement that is nurturing, supportive and expansive (Neptune). It hints at an agreement that will continue to grow – unconditional support is involved.

So it appears that the Gemini Sun is illuminating an ending or question about one area of nurturing while another is coming into being. What new agreements are on the horizon? What areas of faith need to be questioned?

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, […]

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

Creating The Way Through The Heart | Starcana Cosmic Dirt

Good day friend! Sun (ego, identity) and Mercury (thoughts, communications, short journeys) will both bid farewell from grounded Taurus on Tuesday May 21, to enter curious Gemini. Rather than feel stuck or remain immobile, we’ll take a deep breath; trying a different way that will lead us toward a better change with Sun/Mercury in Gemini.  And […]
