A compelling set of circumstances combines with Mercury’s Gemini ingress tomorrow. The explicit and symbolic will converge to imply that whatever you think you are, you are also a diamond.<\/p>\n

Foremost among the explicit circumstances is Mercury’s sparkling return from behind the Sun, as seen in this video<\/a> from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) satellite. <\/p>\n

Before the end of the month, Mercury will also be visible from the ground along with its Gemini mates, Venus and Jupiter, like diamonds following the Sun’s daily descent.<\/p>\n

The implicit part of Mercury’s trip to Gemini tomorrow is in the first aspect it will make after entry, a conjunction in the first degree of its rulership with the centaur object Asbolus.<\/p>\n

The name “Asbolus” roughly translates as “soot” or “carbon dust” — evoking, in combination, the countenance of the mythical centaur who went by that name, the surface appearance of the solar system object bestowed with that name, and the basic stuff from which both you and diamonds are made: carbon.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Carbon is the basis for biology as we know it because of how each of its atoms is able to bond with at least four other atoms at the same time. Thus, carbon can form the chains and shapes that meet life’s requirements for molecules with both complexity and specificity. Yet such molecules are, in contrast to another form of carbon, also often quite fragile.<\/p>\n

Diamonds, that other form of carbon, are the hardest natural substances. They also capture light and sparkle with unequalled beauty. They get that way after carbon is subjected to transformative temperatures and pressures deep beneath the Earth’s crust. What Mercury is combining with its ingress tomorrow could very well correlate to some transformations already in process that will leave you both less fragile and more brilliant without having to be squashed or cooked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mercury’s motion from behind the Sun represents the thinking mind moving from behind consciousness and showing its brilliance. An impending appearance in the western twilight corresponds to perseverance in support of others. The entrance to Gemini almost certainly indicates a better expression of your thoughts. A conjunction with Asbolus at the same time represents, in combination, a symbolic metamorphosis of your own. That’s pretty exciting, and that’s the problem.<\/p>\n

The most exciting prospects indicated by astrology require your participation. That entails constantly moving with the planets. Most specific to Mercury, moving on from one way of thinking to another.<\/p>\n

It’s easier to keep thinking the same way. Additionally, astrology provides no specific guidelines, only the timing and a general sense of what the new field of thought would look and feel like. The rest is left to you. When Mercury enters Gemini tomorrow, that will be the cue. <\/p>\n

As for what it will look or feel like, imagine what you would have to do so that others will see you as both brilliant and transformed. They could be right, you know. It’s worth some thought about what it would take to get it done. If you can do that, simply that, you will be in motion with Mercury — and you will also be a diamond.<\/p>\n
