May 19th, 2017: Enjoy What You Have

Arthur Hacker

  • Sun in Taurus squares the North Node in Leo/South Node in Aquarius: 28 degrees
  • Venus in Aries opposes Jupiter Rx in Libra: 13 degrees
  • Mars in Gemini inconjunct Pluto Rx in Capricorn: 19 degrees

The Taurus Sun (ruling the North Node) presents you with a choice. There’s something you’re struggling to preserve or build up, and ideally, it should make you proud (Leo North Node). But a situation from the past, involving disruption or detachment, may tempt you to throw up your hands and walk away. Not so fast – this is the moment where you stand fast and say “Look what I’ve created.” Walk towards the spotlight. Enjoy what you have. 

Venus/Jupiter hits the same degree Venus was at when she stationed Rx in Aries (March 4th). This culmination will be based on that date. Results may be big and beautiful, as you receive a massive helping of what you want. But this aspect can also exaggerate Venus themes, so expectations about relationships/money may encourage you to push it too far/spend too much. Nonetheless, any aspect between Venus and Jupiter (especially Jupiter in Venus-ruled Libra) suggests social opportunity – there should be a way to attract more of what you love. Think back to March 4th for a hint about what these results might be. 

Mars/Pluto suggests uneven arguments or choices. Mars’ assertiveness is fired up by Pluto, but unconscious factors can trigger actions/anger that end up being far more intense than the situation warrants. Before you choose, consider your true motivation. If you’re on the receiving end of someone’s pushiness, consider that they may not be fully aware of what they’re doing.  

 

Mars in Gemini

So anyways, Mars moves into Gemini today. He didn’t feel particularly comfortable in Taurus – things don’t happen quickly enough there for Mars’ liking. Even the words don’t come quickly or easily – in fact, sometimes in Taurus the words…

Mars’ Transit of Gemini: The Juggler

Fritz Beinke

Fritz Beinke

Mars enters Gemini on April 21s (6:31 AM EDT).  Choices and information are energized. Actions may become scattered, as multiple options get fired up. New layers will be uncovered, and things can become more complicated. Passions will fluctuate, as A, B (and possibly C) grab your attention. This transit is excellent for triggering fresh ideas. You can break out of a rut and try something new, just because. Gemini’s reasons are multitude – pick some! 

Mars in Gemini will be in mutual reception with Mercury in Aries until May 16th, so the urge to speak out/argue impulsively will be pronounced. Mars will help Mercury Rx in Aries by adding new motivation to an old situation. There’s more life in that idea, conversation or contact. Watch for a surge of enthusiasm or anger that revives things. If it didn’t work before, you can say it differently this time.   

Focus will be compromised and speed will increase. Situations can come and go in the blink of an eye, and much of what flashes by may be distracting. Something new and intriguing may not last, but it could be fun. And, it could lead to something important in the future. Stay open to what’s new, but don’t tighten your grip on anything just yet. If additional complications emerge, remain flexible; Mars in Gemini will ask that you juggle at least two possibilities. 

Here are the aspects Mars in Gemini will make:

  • Apr 23rd: square the North Node in Virgo/South Node in Pisces (1 deg)
  • May 4th: opposite Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius (8 deg)
  • May 11th: square Neptune in Pisces (13 deg)
  • May 12th: trine Jupiter Rx in Libra (14 deg)
  • May 14th: sextile Pallas in Aries (15 deg)
  • May 17th: inconjunct Juno Rx in Capricorn (18 deg)
  • May 19th: inconjunct Pluto Rx in Capricorn (19 deg)
  • May 29th: opposite Saturn Rx in Sagittarius (25 deg)
  • May 30th: sextile Uranus in Aries (26 deg)
  • May 31st: trine the South Node in Aquarius (27 deg)
  • Jun 2nd: square Chiron in Pisces (28 deg)
  • Jun 4th: Cancer ingress
