Mars in Gemini

The planet that gets us moving is in Gemini starting today. Mars in Gemini is tricky because it’s erratic and wiry. It can get you spinning out if you’re already anxious. But in the whirl of doing many things at once — a Mars in Gemini specialty — you catch up on emails and calls, speed-read to get the gist, knock out your chores while listening to a tv or radio program. The path may not be linear, but in the flurry, much can get done.

July 5th - Venus enters Gemini

From astrogrrl

Venus in Gemini ~ July 5 to 31, 2009

Venus leaves the comfort and stability of Taurus for the lighter fancies of Gemini starting on July 5 at 4:22 a.m. (Eastern) through July 31. Venus represents our relationships (all types -- intimate, platonic, familial, and with the self), our material wealth, our value system, our self-worth, our capacity to see beauty in the world, and our desires.

In Gemini, Venus is friendly, popular, easy going, uncomplicated, and requires mental stimulation in our social interactions. Love may blossom through hours of conversations, jumping from one topic to the next and back again. Friendships created through laughter. Existing relationships grow stronger through communication. Our social calendars may be busier than usual. Enjoyment in the present is encouraged during this transit.

July 5th - Venus enters Gemini

See Sasstrology's website for astrology tips and information:

her current post on Venus entering Gemini:

Please: it’s just far too easy to pick on Gemini sometimes. They’re such bright, chatty, charming creatures that they’re so easy to love, and it’s not their fault they didn’t turn out to be what you wanted. And it’s not their fault they talked you into it in the first place … you were the one who listened.

Oh, wait … Venus is in Gemini now. Yeah. Watch out for fast-talkers and inconstant affections.

Reading for Miguel

i broke up with my girlfriend about a month ago and i feel like i made a mistake. i really want her back but now shes starting to date other people. is there anyway you can help? am i making the right decision by tryin to go after her again?

-Miguel-

Hi Miguel,

I drew the card 'patience' from the osho zen deck and the card 'morality'. I asked what you should do and the answer is wait. This card is a reminder that sometimes there is nothing to do but wait. Be patient and alert for she will come to you or there will be a new woman. If she was harsh to you and unemotional then she will realise this and come back. She will be single again soon.

hope it helps.

The queen of swords clarified with temperance

I drew cards on a daily basis and while I don't usually take that much notice of them, they are useful as ways of learning and of marking events. For example when a friend's dad was run over by a car i had drawn the chariot (he survived! he's a very strong guy though he suffered a lot).The cards and the daily draws are mostly used as a way of creating a tarot vocabulary. Learning which cards go with which events.

The following are my day cards for the 3th of August, 2008:

Morning
normal influence - high priestess
best potential - 8 of wands

The house mate is sleeping so i'm tempted to just carry on doing my web stuff on my own - looking up more information on astrology etc. This fits in with the wise and silent high priestess. She doesn't rock the boat and she is at a place in her life where no action needs to be taken - she is internalising the plans for the next step ahead. The best potential though calls for some action and some speed. There's a bit of a contrast. I woke up the house mate and have been updating my blog so that could be it.

Midday
normal influence - Queen of Swords (Temperance)
Best potential - Queen of Swords (Temperance)

My midday influence looks quite interesting! Drawing the same card in the position with the same clarifier is pretty unusual. Especially since i count out the different cards when selecting them in order and put them back in separate places in the deck. The queen of swords were placed in different parts of the deck and shuffled before the two draws. I'll have to wait and see about what the queen of swords has to tell me. She's usually about writing i think. Maybe i'll talk to my mother who is a libra but with an aries energy of 'me, me, me'. Gotta love 'em. Ironically I dated an aries for a while but with a libra energy. It's probably not ironic at all actually - just fitting in with the normal patterns of repeating cycles in life.

Afternoon
Normal influence - 6 of pentacles
Best potential - Death

not sure yet of these two. maybe trying to decide whether to go out for dinner or eat in. I'd say eat in as the best potential.

Evening
normal influence - Empress
Best potential - Ace of wands

the empress promises the comfort of a wonderful murder mystery (Agatha christie tonight) and the ace of wands says go to the pub for the quiz! we'll have to see.


Oh and btw - i note on a previous post about the devil. I spent the rest of that day working on a report and it took all day! I was committed and had to do it. In the end it wasn't the right format so i spent the next few weeks redoing it over and over again. I submitted a version on Friday (in time with the eclipse - well a few degrees later for the moon) so now i'm waiting to see how that goes.

The Devil

I have drawn the devil as my day card and as my best potential day card. Not quite sure what to make of it. Something binding or something basic in nature, grounded, restrictions and chains but unable to see any choices.

My favourite devil character is the Tom Robbins idea of nature all wrapped with instinct and primitive sensations and instincts.

activations by the mars-saturn conjunction

saturn and mars are conjunct my saturn - which would trigger my natal sun square saturn. Something to do with my father? feelings of worthlessness? hmmm...

mars and saturn conjunction - affecting best friend

Mars and Saturn are conjunct his natal moon in the 3rd house.; sextiling his uranus in the 4th house; squaring his neptune in the 5th; trining his chiron in the 10th almost exactly (he's currently looking for a job...)

Mars and Saturn conjunction - affecting me

I have the transiting Mars-Saturn conjunction in my 8th house. where it is conjunct Saturn in the 8th; Mars and Saturn both square Mercury in the 11th. Mars and Saturn also sextile venus in the 10th; Mars and Saturn bi-quintile mars in the 11th; they square (widely at 9 degrees) Neptune in the 11th and the trine chiron in the 4th. They also semi-square the MC very tightly at less than 1 degree.

The transiting sun is trining my natal sun and uranus. It also squares pluto and the true nodes in the 9th house (libra) and the MC at 1 degree.
Transiting Mercury in the 6th is conjunct my jupiter in the 6th.

Asteroids in astrology

I haven't used asteroids at all but this newsletter points out some interesting ones. My adonis asteroid is at Libra 29' 25 in my 10th House.

Sexual and Relationship Asteroids:
* Juno/Hera - The Goddess of Marriage and
commitment in relationships. Check synastry for
connections. Transits and progressions can signify
timing of marriage.
* Aphrodite - indicates attraction in synastry.
* Adonis - an attractive male. What your ideal
male is. What is your Adonis by sign and house?
* Eros - God of erotic love. Represents what
turns you on, sexual attraction.
* Lust - Sexually motivated, lustful. Lascivious
personality or behavior. Non-committed sex.
President Clinton has Lust conjunct his ASC, as
does Gene Simmons of KISS.
