This is our new daily astrology feature. Our plan is to post Monday to Friday at just past midnight in Eastern Time. This way, if you’re rushing off to work in London (Londoners rush just a little more than New Yorkers) you have something to read that will take you about a minute. Len Wallick’s astrology will be posted today at noon EDT.<\/p>\n

Today is May 23<\/a><\/strong>, and the Aquarius Moon is creeping slowly along, in what’s called old gibbous phase — the Full Moon was just last week, and lots of the Moon is still visible. The Sun is in very early Gemini, having arrived Saturday, so happy birthday all you twins out there. Air sign Sun and Moon say, talk about it. Gemini is a time for breezy, satisfying conversations. Back one sign in Taurus, the hot news for the week is the Venus-Mars conjunction, which is exact this morning at 4:35 am EDT. Mercury is less than one degree away, so this is a triple conjunction of Venus, Mars and Mercury in Taurus. Can you say threesome? Mercury is getting in on the Venus-Mars action. According to ancient astrology, Venus is female, Mars is male and Mercury is bisexual (well, androgynous, but we know about that).<\/p>\n

This aspect is actually about sex, though with Mercury in the picture, it has a touch of “the hottest sex organ is the mind.” Not everyone agrees; however, that happens to be true for people who have most of their erotic encounters through some kind of device — many people do. Taurus is saying get your pheromones into the act. All three planets plus Jupiter are visible in the predawn sky (at about 4 am, if skies are clear). The triple conjunction makes a trine to Pluto, opening the way to deeper passion and tapping into some evolutionary energy. The Moon makes a conjunction to an asteroid called Vesta at the same time the triple conjunction takes place. Vesta is about service and emotional healing, so make sure you invite that into the scene. Have yourself another fantastic day in the universe. Comments and questions are welcome.
