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

Letting Go Isn’t Easy

by  • 

Variety is the spice of life, and we’re starving for some movement and/or change under the social Gemini New Moon on Monday morning, June 3. Something deep is stirring within – and it may be a bit challenging to sit quietly – to understand what all this stuffy uncomfortableness is all about. Have you felt […]

June 2nd, 2019: Venus in Taurus trine Pluto

  • Venus in Taurus trine Pluto Rx in Capricorn (22 deg)

Pluto strengthens what Venus in Taurus wants – relationships, self-esteem or money based on what’s already there can gradually intensify, as slow transformation deepens what you have. This is not about what’s new or exciting. Rather, it’s an empowering influence that helps you make the most of what has the most value.

This is the aspect for those who know what they have and know what they’re worth. Focus on the resources beneath the surface for an intensified commitment to yourself, to someone else, to your happiness. The trine means this will happen naturally – nothing is forced.

June 1st, 2019: The Challenge of Relationship Growth

by  • 

Jupiter Yod.jpg

  • Venus in Taurus inconjunct Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (20 deg)

  • Juno in Cancer inconjunct Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (20 deg)

Today we have a Yod, an awkward configuration that puts pressure on a focal point. In this case, the focal point is Jupiter Rx – expansion is the challenging issue but also the goal.

Venus inconjunct Jupiter shows incompatibility between fixed relationship issues versus expansion and Juno inconjunct Jupiter is incompatibility between safe/secure relationship agreements versus expansion. Venus and Juno harmonize with each other by creating a cozy, predictable partnership. But the corresponding pull outwards must be accounted for.

One or both partners may not want change – perhaps it’s difficult to get out of a relationship rut. Change can be threatening, but Jupiter is Rx so this is not a new scenario. It’s time to venture forward while maintaining that secure base. Hard aspects to Jupiter can also lead to exaggeration, so there’s a risk of taking this too far by getting caught up in unrealistic ideals and agreements. Aim for steady growth.

If you look at the chart, you’ll see the Moon conjoins Venus and the Cancer North Node (ruled by the Moon) conjoins Juno. That lunar energy of safety, nurturing and familiarity is strong and is part of the North Node path forward. But in this case, sticking with what’s familiar and ignoring that returning issue of expansion will throw you off track. It will feel uncomfortable, but growth is not always comfortable.

May 31st, 2019: The Quiet Commitment

by  •

  • Venus in Taurus trine Saturn Rx in Capricorn (19 deg)

  • Venus in Taurus sextile Juno in Cancer (20 deg)

Venus/Saturn is the solid commitment to what you want (financially or emotionally). It’s not showy or romantic, but it does confirm something that you have been working on. Your discipline and focus can deliver quiet rewards today, and Venus/Juno adds a bit of encouragement – that emotional relationship agreement can be stabilized.

This is quiet but real. It’s entirely dependent on the work you have put in so far, and the rules/responsibilities you are revisiting. Not so attractive for those who want something tingly, but very nice for those who crave what’s reliable.
