Mars is trailing behind in Gemini; when you put two things in Gemini you get four, eight or sixteen (the twins have twins). We have a lot on our minds and, at least from what I’ve been hearing (I am biased) plenty of people have sex on their minds; anyway this would be a good time to. Have sex on your mind, that is. Just remember, one thing leads to another.<\/p>\n
Kidding aside, you can continue to blame contention and guilt trips on Mars in Gemini. This is not an easy placement; it is not the equivalent of Venus in Gemini. Venus, being much closer to Mercury in nature, is pretty happy in an air sign; Mars, being fiery and Scorpio-styled watery is not. Mars in Gemini can represent contention for its own sake, arguments with too many words and more than a bit of paranoia. The key to all of this is slow down your thought process long enough to feel what you are saying.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Sun is four days into Leo and the Moon is about a day into Libra; we’re in the first days of the lunar cycle; first quarter is Wednesday, so now’s a great time to catch the momentum (for anything) while it’s building. Remember that this Moon is heading for a second lunar eclipse in about 10 days. Things begun now will undergo a transformation around that time.<\/p>\n
Speaking of eclipses, here is the odd bit about Mercury. It’s currently in the degree of a total solar eclipse from 1999. That would be the infamous Aug. 11, 1999 grand cross<\/strong><\/a> and total solar eclipse, from back when the Internet was young. I believe that we are still under the influence of this eclipse. The lunar nodes have come back round to Leo and Aquarius (they are about to enter Cancer and Capricorn, actually, and are just finishing their first visit to Leo and Aqua since that era). The degrees of eclipses can be active for many years. Mercury is a messenger and he\/she\/it is telling us to listen for messages from that era of our lives — a strange or at least interesting time for just about everyone.<\/p>\n I would be interested to hear if you have any connections between that time and right now, i.e., things that come up Monday and Tuesday (with Mercury right there).<\/p>\n Then over the next few days, Mercury will be approaching the three-planet conjunction in Aquarius. That will be a conversation with the conjunction; a bit of catch-up; and an external expression of the currently retrograde (therefore internalized) energies of Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune. It’s a little like the conjunction is sleeping at the moment, or working behind the scenes, though Mercury will bring some of it to the surface — and I’ll be commenting on that as it happens.<\/p>\n For subscribers to Next World Stories and Planet Waves Astrology News, we will have the Planet Waves monthly horoscope available first thing Tuesday.
