Shift Happens | Venus in Taurus, Mercury in Gemini, Jupiter Direct

There has been a number of planetary shifts already this month, and you’re probably experiencing your own personal shifts – like I am.

Even if you’re not consciously aware of what’s happening, someone is taking this situation very seriously. If you’re the one who’s pushing for victory, consider what you’re prepared to do. Are you sure you have to gut the competition?  If you’re on the receiving end, be careful –  playing to win has extreme undertones.

There has been so much fiery energy this spring with planets spending unconscionably long in the sign of impulse and initiative, Aries.
