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. On many levels, I’ve been productive in strengthening and rebuilding through much positivity, movement AND gratitude – despite restrictive Saturn transiting Sagittarius, which has been aspecting my Sun and Mercury. But since I missed blogging […]

Mercury in Gemini

  ‘Because Y is a crooked letter and Z is no better.’ My Poppa used to say this to me when I was very young in answer to any of my ‘but why’ questions. I always accepted the response without…

May 30th, 2017: Making Progress

  • Mars in Gemini sextile Uranus in Aries: 26 degrees
  • Sun in Gemini sextile Vesta in Leo: 9 degrees
  • Mercury in Taurus trine Juno Rx in Capricorn: 17 degrees

Mars/Uranus triggers a hit of ingenuity, plus the courage to do something with it. Actions are driven by restlessness, and would normally be quite scattered, were it not for the Mars/Saturn opposition.  The ease of the sextile means impatient/risky efforts have a positive outlet. You can attempt something different without tripping. This is one aspect in the top of the Kite, described here

Vesta adds focus to the Sun in Gemini’s multitasking. One choice is easier to make – watch for a pull in a certain direction. The Sun rules Leo, adding extra shine and purpose to Vesta’s devotion. Creative work, and pride in what you’re bringing to life, is fuelled by new information, discussions or contacts. 

Mercury/Juno suggests calm relationship discussions, or signing a contract between partners. Words support a mutual agreement, and all the basics are covered. There are no fancy promises or convoluted details, just straightforward ideas you can shake on. 

This is an excellent day for progress, cooperation and motivation.

  • Mercury in Taurus square Vesta in Leo: 6 degrees

The basics of what you want clash with creative/romantic devotion. Maybe you’re so focused on the special thing that you get bogged down in financial details, or the possessive tyranny of ownership. Fixating on something/someone special can shut down creative possibilities, if all you think about is “He/she’s mine” or “Will others appreciate how much I paid for this?” 

Alternatively, the cost of recognition/ego may be too much, if it threatens your values or security. Consider the price of admission into the spotlight.

Astrology of Now: The End of the Beginning

There has been so much fiery energy this spring with planets spending unconscionably long in the sign of impulse and initiative, Aries. The Ram’s fiery inspiration is usually what we need to kick off the astrological year. But in the last seven years, we’ve had an awful lot of it — because Uranus, the great of god of disruption, has been cruising, lurching, stumbling, sprinting, staggering through Aries. Now Uranus is in the last furlong of that erratic trip. He’s got another year to go; in 2018, Uranus will make several sorties into Taurus before finally deciding to shift camp into a calmer […]
