On Wednesday, Mercury stations direct in Leo. The correspondence is striking. The implication is that a change in how you feel will be followed by a change in how you think.<\/p>\n<p>Venus is concerned with feelings and a big part of its ingress to Cancer will be about getting the feel back. During the last four months traipsing back and forth through Gemini, the domicile of Mercury and the airy, mutable intellect, the planet concerned with feelings has been re-tasked. As Venus transited the Gemini Sun, its task was to fuel conscious vision from the foreground. During the eclipses of May and June, Venus was the sensitive background, enhancing communication. The receptive nature of Venus is suggestible, and a good deal of time in Mercury&#8217;s realm has left a deep impression about how it expresses in your life. It&#8217;s an impression overdue for a change.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Venus is the root of values and attraction. You don&#8217;t think your values, you feel them. Any attempt to intellectualize values ultimately leads to empty feelings. Neither do attractions originate in the rational mind. Thinking too much leaves attractions unfulfilled. An ingress to the domicile of the Moon is just what the doctor ordered to restore Venus to its roots.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Cancer is the domicile of the Moon. The associated element of water is the symbolic epitome of feelings. Cancer&#8217;s cardinal quality likewise represents a change in pattern, initiating a new season, and with it a return. The Moon takes us back. Stop, slow down, and spend some appreciable time gazing at the Moon. Dare to deny that looking on its reflected light inspires your own contemplation, leaving you something to carry away, changing how you think. <\/p>\n<p>Included within that reflection will be the conclusions of seasons long forgotten, on the other side of now. Reflecting your own experience, Venus will return to a previous season of receptive expression, as opposed to receptive <em>impression<\/em>, upon ingress to Cancer. That, in turn, will change the direction of your thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>When Venus made ingress to Gemini as April opened, Mercury responded in synchrony. The swiftest planet responded by concluding its retreat into the watery depths of Pisces, returning from its sabbatical to catch up with and pass Venus. Venus, exalted in Pisces and making its move immediately before Mercury&#8217;s, seemed to be the sympathetic source of Mercury&#8217;s summons. Tomorrow, the circle closes. Following the overdue entry of Venus to where the Moon rules, Mercury will conclude its audit of Leo and set out to catch up with the Sun. Our thoughts will advance in turn.<\/p>\n<p>Just as Mercury will soon return to forward motion, as if prompted by Venus, our thoughts are due to advance, informed by our feelings. Just as Venus initiates a role more whole and resonant with its nature, Mercury will resume progress moving in the direction of Virgo and its own exaltation. Progressing with it will be our objective thinking, in complement to our subjective emotions, rather than in conquest. To work with this astrology is first to allow your feelings to be refreshed and even cleansed by the opportunities that will surely present themselves like a new, more hospitable season. Thus fortified, your weary and wary mind will surely change in kind.<\/p>\n<p><em>Offered In Service <\/em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Len is available for astrology readings.
