Gemini Season Retrograde style

It’s GEMINI Season re-run 2022.

Gemini season Retrograde starts  May 20 at 6:23 pm PDT, 9:23 pm EDT/ May 21 at 2:23 am GMT with MERCURY the ruler of Gemini {and Virgo} RETROGRADE at 4 degrees Gemini.

You know what that means reviewing all that double talking, double flirting, social butterfly, scatter brained, chatty, ruled by the fancy fleet-footed, hatted and sandaled messenger of the Gods – MERCURY, known as HERMES to the Greeks and THOTH to the Egyptians. 

A whole lotta Gemini going on a double-double double Gemini season. 

MERCURY used to be in thermometers, whose properties made it hard to pin down, describe Gemini’s energies perfectly. Quicksilver is also a toxic poison and a well-known Alchemical metal as well. Mercury’s metal is Mercury or QUICKSILVER like Gemini energies. The Quicksilver Messenger Service were a band in the 60’s.

Mercury is a PSYCHOPOMP. I love that word able to enter and leave the Land of the Dead, Hades or the Underworld. Few had this power.

Mercury Retrogrades back to Taurus on May 22  at 9:15 pm EDT dragging us back through the BS, communications, conversations, world and financially issues we were dealing with at the end of April as Mercury entered Gemini, April 29 just before the first Eclipse of 22 April 30 at 10 degrees Taurus.

Note that Mercury’s 2^nd of 4 Retrogrades of the year ends June 3^rd  with Mercury at 26+ degrees TAURUS which is opposite that Heavy SCORPIO SUPER BLOOD MOON on May 15/16. So, expect a bucking bull kick of that energy too. If you didn’t catch it the first time, you will the 2^nd time.

MERCURY retrograde conjunct the SUN May 21 at 12:18 pm PDT/ 3:18 pm EDT this is a Mercury Cazimi very auspicious to meditate to tune into this energy as the Planet of communications is bathed in the sun’s golden heart at 00 GEMINI, indicating new ideas, communications, texts, analysis and  seeing things from both sides. This is a good thing.

Mercury’s symbol is the caduceus. Not just an FTD Florist symbol, every MD in the world uses the caduceus to signify the healing profession of MEDICINE. The caduceus was originally employed by Chiron and Asclepius as snakes were used to help heal people in Ancient Greece and Snakes were used in the Oracles at DELPHI. Considered to be magical animals of the Goddess since always, two snakes entwined around the central staff or spine is KUNDALINI sexual energy.  The caduceus is an ancient symbol of DNA; symbolizes the twin poles of consciousness, balance and the combining of opposites as in ALCHEMY to produce something entirely new. This is a deep psychological image associated with GEMINI and mental health. not usually associated with this sign.

Gemini is a dual AIR sign, and they never get old as long as their minds are stimulated.  I’ve been watching Paul McCartney on Tour now at 79 on YouTube, Paul is the most Gemini person in the world, and he will be 80 on June 18^th and still rocking and singing shows for almost 3 hours.

 Mercury is the frequent flyer and chief communicator between Mount Olympus, the above, the Conscious and the below.

“Gemini—represented by twins—embraces duality and is all
about having fun. Gemini thrives on change and can’t stand too much sameness.”

Unconscious, Mercury/Hermes is a mediator, a listener, an eavesdropper, a go-between. In modern days, a MERCURY ruled person, and we all are, is a compulsive twitterer or FB junkie whose iPhone never leaves their body.

Mercury in the TAROT  is  the # 1 symbol, THE MAGICIAN /TRICKSTER

famous as COYOTE wisdom in Native American legends.

When your mind plays tricks on you…guess who is to blame?

HERMES is a hermaphrodite; His name means HERMES & APHRODITE Mercury is both male HERMES and a female VENUS/APHRODITE. 

The sign’s ruling planet comes HOME- when a planet is at home it feels, relaxed, in its own element, STRONG. Mercury in Gemini  stimulates nanosecond thinking, uber talking- hope you have a great chat plan during these Gemini times

 PETER PAN is GEMINI’s God

Peter Pan is a symbol of what Psychologists called PEUR mentality. A childlike, fun time, curious and non-committal.  There may be much mental Ado about not much during Gemini times. Gemini loves to play devils’ advocate.

But you got to love ’em, they are very charming and move too fast for you to pin them down. Yes, social butterflies those Gemini’s are…

Their main thrust during GEMINI season is to gather information, move like the wind, gather info, be mentally stimulated, ever young, upbeat, charming as hell.

Mercury is the God of merchants, the word Mercury is contained in that word, Thieves, pirates, travelling and snake-oil salesman,  Gemini’s are actors,  open, changeable, quick-witted, exciting, philanderers, shysters,

VENUS is, of course, Retrograde in Gemini

so, can’t make up your mind between Frank, Harry, or Justin?   or which job to take? or which school to go to or which….or that old friend/ lover enemy, frenemy just re-entered your life again, what to do about that? or what to do…

 If only they/we can get over the tendency to do one or the other ANGEL or DEVIL  DUALITY is their thing, But the TWINS are not opposites but complementary pairs. 

In the TAROT the symbol of GEMINI is associated with THE LOVERS

and the opposite sign of GEMINI is SAGITTARIUS which is associated with ALCHEMY again back to HERMES/ MERCURY

Love is the message, Venus in Gemini

Fairbank twins University of Washington, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons

Venus flits into AIRY, LITE Mutable, SOCIAL butterfly

sign of the TWINS –GEMINI May 8 to JUNE 2

Venus is in Gemini LOVE IS THE MESSAGE! 

Ruled by the Messenger planet, Mercury this will be a chatty, flirty, casual, exploration time in love and relationships. 

The Venus in GEMINI mantra; I love him/her. Do I? I dunno. Can’t decide. Must check out all possibilities.

With Venus in Gemini, we are exploring our own TWIN natures, there is lots to explore in the nature of DUALITY. Venus in Gemini wants the best of both worlds, wants her/his cake and to eat it too.

Venus in Gemini is a sexy love affair with the imagination. Erotic love is very much of the mind. Everything you can image is possible. Thoughts do create our reality, so be very conscious of what your unconscious mind and your hearts desire want both consciously and unconsciously.

With Venus in Gemini- Girls just wanna have fun. Gemini is a Mutable changeable adaptable sign. So lots of connection on dating APPS. Venus in Gemini is very flirty teeny energy. Gemini is Peter Pan type of being a kid in the candy store.

Venus is our feelings and Gemini, our minds. The two halves of the brain and our inner masculine and feminine must work together and not be polarized which things and conversations tend to be very polarized these days.  

VENUS rules women, everything Feminine, money, the economy, love, relationships, beauty merchandizing, jewellery, the markets. Venus in Gemini prizes information and brief fleeting hook ups and Fun.

EXPECT lots of quick-changing moods in the financial sector. Lots of change-ups in love affairs, much yakking, social media hype, comparison shopping, many break ups and makeups. Don’t count on lasting permanence during this time. You may find it challenging to meditate as Venus in Gemini is heady.

With Venus in Gemini all those things are much more LITE, changeable, adaptable and non-committed. The dark side of this is the Snake-oil salesman, the shadow, Peter Pan.  Yes lots of talking but maybe not much substance. The energy is charming, in the head, fun, curiosity rules.

NOTE that Mercury is Retrograde from May 29 until June 22

At 24 degrees 41’ Gemini square Neptune at 22/23 Pisces and opposing Juno at 18 Sagittarius and inconjunct to Pluto at 26 CAPRICORN. This may mean break ups and returns of old lovers or at least conversations and things that weren’t completed where you didn’t get to put your 2 cents in.

Mercury turns Stationary Direct at 16 degrees 16’ Gemini trine Saturn at 12 Aquarius Retrograde square Neptune at 23 Pisces, opposing Juno in Sagittarius at 13 degrees the Feminine form of genius.

With Venus in Gemini question everything. This is what we need right now as the collective is waking up. Enquire and keep enquiringly.

Venus in Gemini can symbolize whistleblowers like Edward Snowden. These days it will be arguments between pro and con views. More divergent.

Venus rules LIBRA and TAURUS so these signs are affected the most. For you things get lighter, happier, it suits Libra’s V in G is good for Libra as both are AIR signs.

Lots of twins may be conceived and are born during Gemini time and Venus in Gemini will overlap.

We Gotta LOVE those GEMINI peeps, they are forever young, even in their 80’s. I know some of them.

Check out where GEMINI is in your birth chart so see how VENUS can bring you love, money, beauty, romance, into your mind. It will be different in each house and the aspects Venus creates. 

VENUS is symbolized by the Empress, Goddess, Trump #3 in the TAROT  GEMINI is the sign of the LOVERS in the TAROT, TRUMPS #6 = Merkabah 

Venus in Gemini is ruled by MERCURY- The Magician #1 in the Tarot- BEWARE of SILVER-TONGUED DEVILS 

The Lovers and Gemini are about opposites, masculine and feminine, yin and yang, up down, Heaven and Hell, Good and Evil, right and wrong, us and them, Light and Dark etc.

Gemini is a type of “TWIN FLAME” symbol,  the Messenger wearing gossamer wings of desire but I don’t buy into the sham New Age BS about twin Flames which makes women co-dependent projecting some belief which is not there.

With Venus in Gemini all those things are much more LITE, changeable, adaptable and non-committed. The dark side of this is the Snake-oil salesman, the shadow, Peter Pan.  Yes lots of talking but maybe not much substance. The energy is charming, in the head, fun, curiosity rules.

Mercury turns Stationary Direct at 16 degrees 16’ Gemini trine Saturn at 12 Aquarius Retrograde square Neptune at 23 Pisces, opposing Juno in Sagittarius at 13 degrees the Feminine form of genius.

ASK QUESTIONS. Question everything. This is what we need right now as the collective is waking up. Enquire and keep enquiringly.

Gemini Season is double-double

May 20 Sun enters Gemini @ 6:49 am PDT/ 10:49 am EDT/ 3:49 pm GMT

Sidney Hall / Public domain

Ruled by the fancy fleet-footed, hatted and sandaled messenger of the Gods – MERCURY, known as HERMES to the Greeks and THOTH to the Egyptians. 

A whole lotta Gemini going on with Venus Retrograde, Mercury until the 28th, Vesta and the North Node at 29 degrees. It’s a double-double double Gemini season. 

MERCURY used to be in thermometers, whose properties made it hard to pin down, describe Gemini’s energies perfectly. Quicksilver is also a toxic poison and a well known Alchemical metal as well.

I love that word able to enter and leave the Land of the Dead, Hades or the Underworld. Few had this power.

Note that Mercury’s second retrograde of the year is JUNE 17/18- JULY 12 when MERCURY RETROGRADE’s in CANCER

Mercury’s symbol is the caduceus. Not just an FTD Florist symbol, every MD in the world uses the caduceus to signify the healing profession of MEDICINE.

Praying for rain for Australia fires

[CC BY-SA 3.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)%5D

I am not Aboriginal so I hope that I am not offending any Indigenous people with my positive intentions. I have studied and lived by doing ancient pagan ceremonial wisdom and spirituality since the ’80s. Paganism and shamanism were the original spirituality of all cultures pre- Judaism, Christianity, Buddhist, Islam and Confucianism. I feel connected to it in my DNA and in my cellular memory of all my past lifetimes.

I feel called to help send energy and prayers to the Australian people and the millions of animals and the trees who have been killed by the man-made bush fires there now.

If you feel called to do so, please send your prayers and intentions to Australia now. Sit with a bowl of water or by waterways, rivers, oceans, even a swimming pool, and visualize clouds forming over the Bushfires and rains putting out the fires. 

I am calling on the Rain Gods of their own Indigenous peoples and the Gods and Goddesses from different cultures to aid them to bring rain.  I do this from my heart and with total respect for all the cultures of the world. In essence, all Gods and Goddesses are One Holy Spirit/ Creator, Great Mystery.

Jupiter Square Neptune-Playlist

JUPITER in SAGITTARIUS SQUARE NEPTUNE in PISCES  June 17 @ 18+ degrees

This is one of the Big Signatures of 2019 and very fortuitous

Jupiter whose been up close this past week brings Big PERKS 

and the Big guy rules both Sagittarius and Pisces

Jupiter is the planet of Humor. the Joker, and Neptune the planet of magic and delusion, confusion, the Thief.  Mercury the magician, the wind, and the thief is trining Neptune today 

We are dealing with optimism idealism faith, trust, adventures, truth, justice, drugs, self-sabotage, denial and the unconscious.

This can be a great expansive optimistic energy. But also one of great exaggerated Jupiterian confusion, FAKE NEWS, false flags, addictions, delusions, illusions, debt, glamour and oil. ALl of these things are going on BIg Time this year. I don’t think we will really be able to get a sense of reality until Jupiter enters grounded Capricorn December of 2019 and when Jupiter conjuncts Saturn in the summer of 2020. 

Remember also that many of the planets are at 18 degrees.

The universe is telling us to pay attention to.

#18 Numerology. #18 inTarot=The Moon 4 planets at 18th degree & the Nodes= synchronicity If you have planets @ 18+ degrees you’re getting zapped. Jupiter 18+ Sagittarius, Neptune 18+ Pisces Mercury 18+ Cancer North Node 18+ Cancer Saturn 18+ Capricorn S.Node 18+ Capricorn # 18 in Hebrew means Life.

I find it fascinating that Bob Dylan’s lyrics so beautifully exemplify this energy.

Bob Dylan BTW, has Jupiter at 29 Taurus conjunct ALGOL/ Medusa trine his natal Neptune at 24 Virgo and his North Node at 29 Virgo, he is a perfectionist.

Check this out. All Along The Watchtower lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Audiam, Inc

There must be some way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There’s too much confusion
I can’t get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line
Know what any of it is worth

No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we’ve been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hour is getting late

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too

Outside in the distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
The wind began to howl

Mars in Pisces, enhanced psychic, lucid dreams now

I didn’t write about Mars in Pisces Dec. 19- Jan. 27, 17 and will do so now. MERCURY RETROGRADE right?

MARS in PISCES is the spiritual Warrior and the water protectors at the #NoDAPL who brings light and love into the battle.

Our intuition, telepathy, and sensitivity to others’ feelings will be really heightened as well as our LUCID DREAMING abilities because Mars activates Pisces’ watery soulful depths.

Mars- the action planet, is the God of WAR, in Pisces is a powerful NEPTUNE and Jupiter ruled buccaneer/pirate sailing Pisces oceanic world.

Illustration of pirates and buccaneers by Howard Pyle

PISCES is Bliss and confusion, enlightenment or illusion, addictions and denial.

You will feel all fogged up and sloshed. Especially Aries’ and SCORPIO’s who are ruled by planet Mars and usually get right down to it.

PISCES can be whiny, poor me, self- fuck ups, martyrs.  The Democrats may be going through a lot of this right now. See it for what it is- and let it go.

Mars’  libido will be soggy. But if you can find a water-bed it’d be great or at least romantic Oceanside it could float.

MERMAID and Merman time. Remember ATLANTIS in your cellular memories, it’s all there in your Pisces 12th house of the unconscious.

Everybody’s got Pisces in their natal chart and a 12th house too. Check out where the self-indulgence poor me whining will be coming from.

ESCAPISM will run rampant during this time, denial, delusion, false prophets, we can surely see this happening now.

MARS in PISCES is a creative time

Use the time to be creative, go to art galleries, learn to appreciate art, write poetry, make music, movies, photography are all in Pisces’ realm.

DO be very careful with drinking and drugs as Mars’ influence is to act like a tough soldier in Pisces it is all too easy to overdoing it especially during holiday season. DO BE CAREFUL ON New Year’s Eve as MARS will be conjunct NEPTUNE in PISCES! 

 YOUR PSYCHIC ENERGY WILL BE HEIGHTENED 

Mars in Pisces IS about being a  big psychic sponge. The need for boundaries is very important. 

BE careful in LOVE as MARS in PISCES shoots those love arrows of total projection and unreality during this time. You are in love with love and searching for a soul mate but you will most likely pick an illusion. 

GIVE MORE THAN RECEIVE

It is Christmas time and ultimately it is about what you give rather than what you receive. Do charity work.  You will feel ultra sensitive to the 30,000 children dying every day from various causes. The pain and suffering of humanity may feel overwhelming and your heart may feel too pained.

This time of the year is always very dark and heavy as the family cheer expectations are high. Getting together because of ritual with dysfunctional family members is difficult.

The PISCES lesson is that we are ALL ONE. We came from the same source. We need to meditate and work with our dreams which will be much more lucid during this time period.

10 POSITIVE things to do with MARS IN PISCES 

1. PRACTICE SURRENDERING YOUR EGO

Being aware that you are reacting from ego makes you conscious. You can choose to act from soul instead of ego.

2.TRUST YOUR INTUITION and DREAMS

Mars is in Pisces gives courage to trust you intuition. Practice making decisions based on sensations, feelings, synchronicity.  Work with your dreams consciously and actively. Incubate your dreams, keep dream journals, take time out to daydream.

3. CREATE STRONG PSYCHIC BOUNDARIES

Make sure you have strong boundaries in place so as not to feel overwhelmed. Create these by intention. Call in the archangels to protect you.

4. MEDITATION and VISUALIZATION. 

Draw the active aggressive energies inwards to seek answers. Meditate every day for 20 minutes. You will feel clearer. Visualize a world of peace daily. A world where we can all know and feel we are all ONE. 

5. MARTYRDOM/Victims 

 

Mars in Pisces rules martyrs. Like the Hanged Man in the Tarot #12.  Sit and think about where you have allowed yourself to be a victim/ martyr in your life. Write down the situations and with whom. Trace back why you have surrendered to giving up your self to others who abuse you. Forgiveness comes later.

6. ESCAPISM

It’s like that river in Egypt. denial. Mars in Pisces is escapism. Do you pretend the problem isn’t there?  Look at your excuses. What are you hiding from? What are you afraid of? The cure is in the denied emotions.

7. ADDICTIONS/False Prophets

What false prophets do you worship? Movie stars? Porn? The almighty dollar? Status? Love?  Look at why you think you need these things and why you feel inadequate without them.  What pain, or inner black hole are you attempting to escape from? This is a great time to go to rehab and deal with your own demons.

8. CREATIVITY/ SACRED SEXUALITY

Mars in Pisces is Tantric sexuality. Be God. Be the Goddess. Create, make love. This is sacred sexuality. Women teach men how to worship the Goddess.

9. CHARITY

Give of yourself to someone more needy. Help out at a food bank. Donate money. Be kind and generous. Give away what you don’t need. Be good to yourself without ego. 

10. WATER

Pisces rules the Oceans which are polluted. Be conscious that your body is 70% water. Dr. Emoto wrote about the power of positive emotions to change water. Get involved to protect water rights.  Stop using bottled plastic water. Help save ocean species. Do prayers for the water.  Please pray for the Water protectors now.

MARS opposes NEPTUNE, reignite the dream

This is an important transit, between Mars in Virgo, very earthy, grounded, accountable,practical and REAL. Neptune in its’ home sign Pisces, the spiritual, KARMA and everything ephemeral and mystical. This is Exact on Oct 6 @ 7:53 pm PDT/ 10:53 pm EDT

I would definitely use this aspect in a practical magic ritual.

Mars in Virgo  September 24-Nov. 12 

MARS in Virgo energy is extremely analytical hard-working and precisely driven. Virgo is ruled by MERCURY, it is a mutable grounded sign with a strong intellectual connotation. Mars in Virgo’s energy is very disciplined about health, diet, hygiene and order. Mars in Virgo brings out the  OCD impulses, always worrying and fussing. This is a time of hyper criticism and focussing on what is communicated. Mars in Virgo will have you balance your books, rail on your budgets, and be super nerdy. Much like Sheldon Cooper in the Big Bang Theory. BAZINGA!

Mars in Virgo -The pen is mightier than the sword and intellectual attacks can slay with criticism.

Mars in Virgo wants to clean up the Environment. This aspect works against Stephen Harper whose Conservatives destroyed the Alberta Tar Sands and the Canadian reputation for caring about ecology. 

These energies also indicate an integration of spiritual healing, using sound, water, vibrations and herbal remedies into or opposed to mainstream medicine.

Mars in Virgo is squaring Sagittarius horse butts to get their acts together, makes Pisces dreamers get real, and grounds airy Gemini’s into taking care of business and balancing accounts.

The ECONOMY is about to CRASH! OCTOBER is historicaly always the month of big Market crashes. 

Venus will re-enter Virgo October 8th putting 3 personal planets in Virgo. The servant’s sign.  Venus Mars Jupiter Saturn and Neptune are all in Mutable signs, changeable energy.

The PTP  Pacific Trade Pact was signed in secret October 5 in Atlanta at 5:00 am under this Mars Neptune energy.

Which is all about secrets, land, the veil of illusion, pipe dreams, enslavement, water. The Chinese government can come to Canada for example with their own Chinese $2 a day slave workers and destroy any piece of  property they want with impunity and not have to clean up the mess. They can also sue for loss of profits. This is a terrible mess. The New World Order and the Corporate world slavery years have begun unless this is turned around.  Big Pharma is also a huge player in this. Neptune rules DRUGS of all kinds.  Why reached in secret? What do they not want the people to know?

Mars in Virgo is the accountant. Neptune in Pisces is debts, endings of cycles, Oneness, compassion and forgiveness.

Read what happened to American Retail giant American Apparel, which has the filed for bankruptcy 

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-10-05/sex-betrayal-and-bond-traders-the-fall-of-american-apparel

So take a long hard look at your debts. To many Gen X’ers having a Mortgage think it is not a debt but an asset. It’s a debt. The bank owns your house until you pay it off in its entirety.  

Mars is drive, sexuality, defenses, energy, initiating. Virgo is the body, the digestive tract, the intestines. Animal intestines used to be read by diviners years ago. Virgo is health. Virgo is the service oriented sign. Humble, real, hard-working and intelligent.

Hey we sure could use a drive back to Intelligence these days, practical thinking, common sense. 

Neptune in Pisces is the fantasy, the projection, the glamour, the illusion, the dream. Neptune rules oil, now tanking, Hollywood, drugs recreational and pharmaceutical, addictions, delusions. Neptune rules film, photography, video games. Neptune in Pisces is spiritual escapism, false gurus, rehab, debt, credit cards,  ashrams, karma and institutions.

So we get the first reality check here.  Neptune and Saturn will square off on Nov. 26 2015 for the first time and continue into 2016.

This date it is very historical. On October 9 1965 @ 3;17 pm EST Uranus and Pluto were exactly conjunct at the 18th degree of Virgo.  There would be two more conjunctions on April 4 and June 30 in 1966 at the 17th degree of Virgo. The Uranus Pluto cycle began in 1850-51 when Pluto was not yet discovered. This was a time of the wider spread of the Industrial Revolution and Colonialism. The Chart is calculated without EST.

This week marks the 50th anniversary of the first exact Uranus Pluto conjunction and the Chiron Return of this definitive time. This is a time for the torch that was lit in the 60’s to be passed to those born during this time to act on those seeded impulses..

We are experiencing the Chiron Return of the beginning of the 60’s Revolution. This is a time to look back at where these times were birthed. The ideal of the 60’s.

-Bob Dylan played with Toronto/ Arkansaw band The Hawks for the first time around this date. – Like A Rolling Stone was a huge hit.

-Yesterday by the Beatles and Eve of Destruction by Barry McGuire were big hits.

It was John Lennon’s 25th birthday.

-Fidel Castro was on the cover of Time Magazine. 

-Helen Gurley Brown became the chief editor of Cosmopolitan Magazine re inventing it for single career women. A first in women’s liberation.
-Andy Warhol has his first large museum show at ICA in Philadelphia.

Bob Dylan and Andy Warhol at The Factory 1965 photo by Nat Finkelstein

See how the planets are aligned again to vibrate off the original signature chord struck then;

Jupiter at 11 degrees Virgo is exactly opposite to where Saturn was and close to where Uranus and Pluto were. Expanding into a higher octave of learning.

Transiting Neptune at 7 degrees of Pisces in 2015 is squaring the South Node at 5 degrees Sagittarius and the North Node at 5 degrees Gemini. Where have we ended up since then?

Saturn now at 1 degree Sagittarius is conjunct to Venus at zero Sag. and Mars at 3 of Sag. and the South Node and Saturn is also inconjunct to 1965’s Jupiter at 1 degree Cancer. This is a karmic result of the Values, economics, of women, {VENUS} the drives, protests, wars {Mars}  and educational philosophical teachings that we have left behind Soth Node in Sagittarius. Saturn opposing the North Node in Gemini is the communications and over-heady place we are at now.. 

Transitting Uranus at 18 degrees Aries is opposed to 1965 Sun in Libra at 16 degrees. How much of a revolution did we have? What really changed? Do we have the peace and equal relationships we hoped we did?

Pluto in Capricorn is also square to the Sun in 1965. The corporate reality vs. The Ideology.

Clearly what has been triggered then is being revisited now. 

Those born in the mid- 60’s will now have to act on the cosmic plan which was seeded then with their own consciousness to be their guide. 

MARS Neptune opposition ritual

For a ritual i would want to find the middle ground between the uber harsh reality and the false addictive escapist fantasy. 

At 7 degrees Sagittarius/ Gemini is the middle ground Conjunct to Archangel Ariel. Fixed Star Antares.

This is a good energy to break addictions with. Mars in Virgo gives strength of mind and determination over the body. 

Mars in Virgo takes account of your denial, what you have been avoiding and procrastinating about.

Neptune in Pisces with Mars can bring back a very practical faith, a spiritual discipline. 

Health issues need to be considered from the mind/body/spiritual/emotional split. Western medicine is all head and science. Eastern Medicine sees spiritual and emotional causes. There are karmic reasons for disease as well. 

Are you carrying your past life, or your genetic heritage’s ill health?

Virgo is the earth and we first and foremost must look at what we have done to our environment and take responsibility for cleaning up the mess. 

The CHIRON RETURN Of this Historical event will last all year.

Jupiter will exactly cross 17 degrees Virgo  from November 2-8 2015 and  March 10-18 2016 Retrograde, and June 30-July 7, 2016 with Jupiter Direct. Reigniting these original conjunctions issues and ideals.

Saturn { testing, obstacles, karma} will square 17 degrees Virgo {1965 position November 24- December 4, 2016. 

Jupiter in Virgo squares Saturn in Sagittarius March 23 2016 at 16+ degrees and May 26 at 14+ degrees Virgo/Pisces.

Saturn and Neptune Retrograde have an EXACT Square on June 18/19 2016 at 12+ degrees Sagittarius/Pisces again another EXACT on Sept 10/11 @ 10+ degrees Sagittarius/Pisces.

Jupiter and Saturn sextile each other exactly on December 31 2016 at 21+ degrees Libra/ Sagittarius.

Gemini LOVERS Primer,astrology by Tara Greene

May 20 2014 Sun enters Gemini the sign of the naturally bi polar TWINS

 known as a “FUN da MENTAL”  sign. I made that up years ago.

Its a  fast monthly mind games romp while, changing partners, doe see doe-ing, and smiling with charming flirtyness.

GEMINI is Ruled by that fancy fleet- footed messenger  of the Gods – MERCURY, also the planet.

MERCURY is  consciousness, intelligence, analysis, communications. The SOuRCE in some senses.

GEMINI has what is called PEUR mentality and actions, for the more psychologically minded. There may be much mental Ado about not much during  Gemini times. Gemini is a light-headed air sign, dare we say Air head?

But ya gotta love ’em, They  move too fast for you to pin them down. Yes social butterflies those Gemini’s are.. NEVER EVER TRY TO PIN THEM DOWN. Their charm will win you over, they can sell refrigerators to Inuit folks. They shine in public speaking, disseminating info.

GEMINI men take for ever, if they ever do settle down. They naturally wander. They need some extra grounding planets or the MOON in CANCER or strong  Taurus energy to make them stable. If they don’t have earth strong in their charts FORGET IT unless you like a wandering lover. 

GEMINI’s get easily bored, they forget anniversaries,they need something to talk about, anything to  keep their jaws and minds going. They do jump from angel to devil- avoiding anything that would pin them down to taking a single stand.

Do you find that really fascinating?

Their main thrust is to gather information, move like the wind, quick change artists,curious,wiry, young, forever young.

DO YOU HAVE GEMINI SUN MOON VENUS OR MARS?

IF SO it is very difficult for you to be in a monogamous relationship. Your nature is to have your cake and eat  it too. You will have to work hard to come to terms with your roving childlike qualities. 

used by FTD florist as their symbol

MERCURY rules two signs – GEMINI a masculine Air element sign and VIRGO a feminine earth sign element.

VIRGO’s might be heard to be coughing and choking on that bit of info. But yes its true.

GEMINI is the eternal child whose curiosity to mentally explore every nook and cranny and lives in Never Never land like PETER PAN. Rarely ever show up on time.

VIRGO gathers, organizes, perfects, focuses, remembers, all the scattered details in a quite an OCD manner. If you seek intellect, humility, servers, obsessively organized workaholics, they love to read and have great often photographic memories. VIRGO is the polar opposite of GEMINI in so many ways. Yes they are very focussed on work, diligent,worry worts, often work in the health field, terribly disciplined in diet, exercise, being always punctual to GEMINI’s always late. 

May 21 MOON enters PISCES

SUN squares MOON in the wee hours

and MERCURY RULES the Sun and all the lunar days till Friday May 23 when Moon enters ARIES @ 9:01 am

MERCURY is the big KAHUNA for the next few days and there is a GEMINI NEW MOON MAY 28 @ 7 degrees at 11:40 am PDT/2:40 pm EDT

                                                                                                      GEMINI is associated with a surprising TAROT SYMBOL

Gemini and Sagittarius opposites

THE LOVERS

This association killed me when I first learned the TArot. I already had learned Astrology so to have the LOVERS ASSOCIATED WITH GEMINI blew my mind.  Of course all relationships are about duality, choices, male and female, polar opposites. GEMINI is the POLE Star too.

also shown is  the opposite sign of GEMINI which is  SAGITTARIUS which is associated with ALCHEMY again back to HERMES/MERCURY.

The other card which is associated with the LOVERS #6 is THE DEVIL # 15 which also reduces to #6.

Its all about sacred geometry. The Lovers is the choice to love our dual nature our sexual twin. 

The DEVIL is about fear and separation.

Famed psychologist CARL JUNG said there are only two emotions LOVE AND FEAR.

WHICH WILL YOU CHOOSE?

LOVE or FEAR?

 

 

MERCURY, found  in thermometers. whose actions, hard to pin it down, describes Gemini’s energies perfectly…Quicksilver is also a deadly toxic poison but  can also be used to heal in Homeopath.  Now its in all those energy saving light bulbs and very dangerous.

Mercury’s symbol is the caduceus. Not just an FTD Florist symbol, every MD in the world uses the caduceus to signify the healing profession of MEDICINE. The caduceus was originally employed by Chiron and Asclepius as snakes were used to help heal people in Ancient Greece  Snakes were used in the Oracles at Delphi. Considered to be magical animals of the Goddess since always,two snakes entwined around the central staff or spine is KUNDALINI sexual energy.  The caduceus is an ancient symbol of DNA symbolizes the twin poles of consciousness, balance and the combining of opposites as in ALCHEMY to produce something entirely new. This is a deep psychological image.

Mercury in the TAROT  is  the # 1 symbol THE MAGUS MAGE OR MAGICIAN

MERCURY /Hermes is also the TRICKSTER

famous as COYOTE in Native American legends when your mind plays tricks on you…quess who is to blame?

HERMES is  a hermaphrodite, His name means HERMES & APHRODITE Mercury is both male HERMES and a female VENUS/APHRODITE in one. Yes all Gemini’s have this strong energy. Where is Gemini in your natal chart?

We see the hermaphrodite image in Kurt Hummel from GLEE-

 check out artist NAPOLEON BROUSSEAU’s Hermaphrodite transgender art http://www.flickr.com/photos/57408189@N06/6911921733/sizes/m/in/photostream/

May 20 in 2012 there was an Annular Solar eclipse at Zero degrees of Gemini- it was spectacular. The Sun’s entry into Gemini now lights up the events from that time.

RELATIONSHIPS are shiny and new, energy is UP, there is plenty of new passions in life. This will ONLY last till May 28- a NEW MOON in GEMINI so make war or love or both under Venus’s MUTUAL RECEPTION with MARS.

MAY 5 Cinco de Mayo

CARD OF THE DAY

Moon Enters LEO- MEXICAN PRIDE!

LEO MOON TRINES VENUS MAy 5 @ 5:45 pm PDT/ 8:45 pm EDT

2=degrees ARIES/LEo also good for Sagittarius- set new leadership goals for when Jupiter enters LEO late July.

MERCURY ENTERS GEMINI-May 7  Honey I’m HOME!

Mercury’s been a very fast mover and shaker, zipping through Aries & Taurus in a record-breaking two weeks for each sign and now cruises HOME to GEMINI where he reigns supremely in his twin towers till May 29.

SOCIAL networking, fast sales, chattability, getting out there and exchanging ideas, communicating and flirting a mile a minute is Gemini territory. Doing the angel/ devil sitting on the fence shuffle, all GEMINI’s are in their elements. Short travels and sibling connections are featured.

MARS GOES DIRECT MAY 19 FINALLY some action!

Mars has been moving backwards since March 1st putting everyone one energy refuel-which seems like a helluva long time ago doesn’t it? Mars is everyone’s prime motivator, the planet that rules SEX. Have you been getting any since Mars has been RETRO? Come on own up. 

Lethargically in the Grand Cardinal Cross, the energy has been intense to say the least. For some its been Grand Cardinal Crap. 

Mars went Retro at 27 degrees + of Libra where the Total Lunar eclipse was on April 14/15.

Mars goes direct at 9 degrees 2 minutes of LIBRA and will take until July 21 for Mars to pass that marker again where new fires may be lit.

Many of you have experienced relationship break ups, letting go of unhealthy relationships or still processing that. It has been a time of pent up energy, slow driving, rekindling of old flames for others. 

Use these last few weeks to review all your martial actions-

how your drive, your goals, desires, power sources, energy levels,

Are you angry with sex, relationships,

How exhausted are you? 

What new inspiration do you need or can you create after Mars goes direct?

Are you a lover or a fighter? Do you know when to choose?

It’s inspiring for Artists, people in social circles, services, relationship counselling, entertainment etc.

SERIOUS SATURN SUN OPPOSITION on MAY 10 MOTHER’s DAY at 19 degrees TAURUS- BONO this is YOU.

Saturn is closest to the earth as it is Retrograde,and in Vedic Astrology considered to be at its most powerful. Saturn is KARMA the Sun is in TAURUS a Fixed earth sign of resources and feminine strength. Saturn in Scorpio the sign of death, rebirth, sex, power, obstacles, secrets, control 

A VERY SERIOUS MATURE KARMIC MOTHERS DAY 

The SOLAR bovine Sun and INTENSE Scorpio Saturnine leaden nature are connected through the apparent opposition. It is also an alchemical reaction. Both are FIXEd signs. Saturn in Scorpio is the old boys big power money greed circles- Monsanto, war mongers, big pharma, the secret government, NSA, banks, etc. and the Taurus Sun brings their secrets out into the LIGHT. 

There could be a major bank/stock market/ money melt down at this time. Venus rules Taurus= money and literally the stock exchange; founded under Taurus- the famed Bull markets. 

See my full article on the New York stock exchange founding here http://www.taratarot.com/id90.html

I will write more about the Karmic nature of Mother’s Day 2014 shortly. 

If your mom is still alive please, really treat her like a Goddess.

Honor the earth who is being raped and pillaged daily by the greed and consumption of the 1st world now bleeding into the other world’s now. Taurus is nature, revel in her sensuality. DO something good for the earth. 

Women need to re-own their ancient SCORPIO SNAKE POWER. The snake sheds its skin in order to grow. Snakes are chthonic symbols of the Goddess since time out of mind. Kundalini energy is snake power. 

MAY 14 FULL MOON IN SCORPIO 23 degrees + 

BIG HEALING MOON-Trine Jupiter and Chiron.   Jupiter TRINE CHIRON. Moon conjuncts Saturn, VENUS SQUARE PLUTO.
