There\u2019s a good chance that your inner landscape is a mixed bag now that you\u2019ve had a chance to absorb the results of Tuesday\u2019s election in the U.S., and the current astrology presents a similar theme. There appears to be an overarching tone, but with a hiccup. Navigating the hiccup may come down to whether you stay focused on higher truths and the greater good, or allow yourself to be seduced by pride, finger-pointing and a desire to keep for yourself rather than share the love (and more tangible resources).<\/p>\n

Tomorrow Venus in Libra forms a trine to Jupiter in Gemini. It\u2019s exact just before 2:26 am EST Friday, but is in effect now. In general, Venus trine Jupiter is a very lucky, fortunate aspect marked by a high degree of \u201cgivingness,\u201d as Isabel Hickey puts it. I think we can translate that to \u2018generosity,\u2019 and it plays out in financial affairs, as well as an active, awake soul force and strong devotion or faith.<\/p>\n

With Libra and Gemini involved, this sounds like a sense of easy, beneficial flow in matters of post-election justice, as well as in personal relationships. Libra brings in universal justice and balance (as we have seen enacted with votes on same-sex marriage, and the defeat of candidates who would restrict access to women\u2019s health services). <\/p>\n

Gemini, the sign of the twin, reminds us that those on \u2018the other side of the aisle\u2019 may not be thrilled, may have dangerous agendas, but ultimately represent the flip side to our own coins. Awake to that insight, we have the opportunity to offer space even as we work for truly just solutions moving forward.<\/p>\n

Granted, the \u2018opposition\u2019 may not feel like playing on higher ground. No one said putting this energy to work would be easy in the wider world, even if it makes for an easeful thought\/feeling experiment within each of us. And in truth, there\u2019s a chance you may catch and snag on a corner of your own psyche, as well. Just as Venus and Jupiter sync up in their trine, the Virgo Moon squares Jupiter exactly. Virgo Moons can be tricky: prone to being analytical and critical, wanting to serve but lacking a full understanding of the other\u2019s needs. (That said, Virgo Moons, especially when waning as this one is, are awesome for tidying and reorganizing home and work spaces; the key is giving the energy the right job to do.) <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Virgo Moon square Jupiter in Gemini introduces conflicts to the inner landscape between false pride and feelings, conceit and emotions. It may bring difficulties though an urge toward \u201ckeepingness\u201d (as Hickey puts it) — the exact opposite of \u201cgivingness.\u201d This may manifest in a desire not to share what you have on many levels: your sense of victory; your hard-earned rest after being an activist on election issues; your status quo, because it is safe and comfortable; the energy it will take to stay engaged post-voting. <\/p>\n

The Moon is making a semi-sextile to Venus (one sign away), putting the emphasis is on financial resources. You may feel like you have nothing left to give at this point — or that you shouldn\u2019t have to, because it is \u2018someone else\u2019s turn\u2019. With a second, colder storm hitting the northeastern U.S., this kind of attitude is something to be on alert for internally. Luckily, Moon aspects move along quickly. The trine between Venus and Jupiter should make \u201cgivingness\u201d the prevailing vibe if you keep the focus on openness.<\/p>\n

All the while, the asteroid Juno is hanging out in Sagittarius, just past an exact opposition to Jupiter (and building a sextile to Venus — easy flow that asks for your engagement to be useful). In the opposition, the diffuse, expansive spiritual\/religious influence of Jupiter in Gemini is playing off a complementary energy, which gives it some focus as we bounce between the two. <\/p>\n

Juno is emphasizing the sense of social justice in our relationships — and, perhaps, in our relationship to the greater good. In Sagittarius, this is taking a higher, cosmic octave. After all that went on Tuesday, it\u2019s just in the nick of time. If we can commit to that ideal, Venus in Libra will have something worth receiving in those scales to balance. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
