Venus enters Gemini at 11:18 am EDT tomorrow. Immediately upon entering mutable Gemini, Venus will complete a T-square aspect as the midpoint of two objects in mutable opposition. Those two objects will be a newly Virgo Moon and asteroid Panacea, fresh to Pisces. Mutable signs follow fixed signs, representing an overture to change. Three objects, moving at radically different speeds, occupying the first degree of three mutable signs at the same time, is a symbolic overture for you. Working with this astrology will prepare you to be in harmony, and even in participation with, emerging themes.
In music, an overture is a brief composition that introduces themes that will be expanded upon in the longer composition to follow. It is a prelude that prepares you for what is to come. In order for an overture to serve its purpose, you must participate, listening actively. The same is true for the astrology.
Our current astrology is preparing to enter a new phase composed of new themes. The Moon is nearly full. Mercury and Mars are nearing the end of their apparent retrograde movement. Venus is ending an eventful tenure in Taurus, where it rules. All those transitional events will take place in the next 10 days, and are not only nearly concurrent in fact but personal by implication.
Mercury, Venus and Mars are referred to as personal planets because their orbits repeat many times in a typical human life span. As such, the personal planets correspond to cycles that repeat many times in your life, each according to its archetype. Mercury, with its archetype of mind and its means, is rapid like your thoughts and retraces its steps frequently, as is often the case when reiteration plays a role in learning and communication. Mars, with its correspondence to energy, strives to sustain effort until exhausted, consequentially requiring a proportionally long period of recovery. Venus and the Moon are perhaps the most personal of all.
