We now have six planets (and points) in Gemini including the Sun, which is presenting the feeling of many options, points of view or activity. The last of the eclipses has passed for now, and the sensation of pressure leaning on certain situations in your life may have dropped off. Gemini can be a beautifully social time. It’s sometimes described as being so in a surface way, though that’s not actually true. What it describes is a dialog or relationship that might be ‘everyday’ and can also be profound.
At the moment there’s also one last holdout in late Taurus: Mars. Today Mars squares (90-degree aspect) the centaur planet Nessus in Aquarius at 1:49 pm EDT. Square aspects often manifest as internal tension that we resolve by taking action.
Nessus, a longterm visitor in Aquarius, has been manifesting mainly as forms of peer pressure or social conditioning. There’s a lot of unfriendly conditioning going around — from politics, from advertising, from a climate of fear, as frustration. There are social movements that are trying to get off the ground; they are frequently drowned out by static.
Whether collectively or in personal relationships, Nessus can bring out shadow material — mostly forms of fear that have been abandoned in the psyche. Mars square Nessus may be provoking some deep subject matter. If you’re experiencing anything like that, go below the surface and look for what is underneath the apparent situation.
Try not to be fooled by appearances, that is, by what you’re seeing or feeling on the surface. The potential for healing is deeper in, and it’s accessible. To get there, it’s necessary to give a voice to what is really at issue, what’s been forsaken or neglected.
A series of planets are about to trine Nessus, offering an opening to do just that. It may be challenging to go from how you’re feeling now to a space where you can communicate about it, and that communication may not be clear at first. As you speak, write, and most significantly, listen to or read what you’re saying, you can get clues about what you’re really feeling and what you actually need.
