<\/dt>\nTen hours later, the Moon will enter Pisces to oppose Atropos and square the Sun, extending the lunar last quarter into a T-square aspect.<\/p>\n
The scenario starts like this: very few events in astrology say “go” quite like the Sun entering a new sign.<\/p>\n
Yet, the asteroid Atropos (nominally, at least) signals an unequivocal “stop” because it is named after the mythical figure whose job it was to snip the thread of life for each and every mortal. The last quarter Moon indicates impending closures as well.<\/p>\n
Finally, a precise mutable T-square with the Gemini Sun in equal separation from the Virgo Moon and Atropos (implying a T-shaped configuration on the zodiac and in the sky) pretty much says “deal with it.”<\/p>\n
So, deal with it you must. Fortunately, the same T-square indicates something of how you can.<\/p>\n
The mutable quality of Gemini, Virgo and Pisces encourages you to be receptive to change as your first order of business. In order to go with the flow of change you must usually begin by practicing some discernment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In combination, the case represented by solar Gemini’s initiation would apparently include asking you to discern when stopping will serve you best, even when inertia tempts you to press on inappropriately.<\/p>\n
Likewise, when the Sun enters Gemini, you will probably be entering a time to be conscious of when moving in concert with events is the correct thing to do.<\/p>\n
Even if the T-square aspect between the Sun, Moon and Atropos entails some work (and T-squares usually do), drudgery is not indicated as an inevitable consequence of solar Gemini this year. At the very least, thanks to the Pisces Moon in its last quarter phase, open-ended drudgery is not indicated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Indeed, Luna’s unique participation shortly after the Sun enters Gemini this year implies how some sort of closure for your efforts will be available when the Sun and Moon conjoin in Gemini for a New Moon on May 28.<\/p>\n
A Gemini Sun lends further encouragement by indicating how you need not be alone in whatever work you must do this week in order to stop or go as you may. At the very least, some empathetic soul\u00a0should be available to talk, so that you can see your way through the necessary stopping and going more clearly. Ideally, there will also be helpers on hand to make your labors less exerting for having been shared.<\/p>\n
Finally, don’t let dour Atropos intimidate you. What may now (or later this week) seem like a life-and-death situation probably will not work out that way. Neither will every ending necessarily be final. Indeed, most conclusions will likely be yours to make, and serve as the prerequisite for making fresh starts.<\/p>\n
As a guideline for you, consider encountering situations you face this week as opportunities to either stop or go. Then consider acting on those situations with some form of stopping or going. When you get right down to it, both stopping and going are actions. Action, in turn, is what you do, not what happens to you. Astrology works the same way.<\/p>\n
Astrology is not destiny. Rather, astrology is indicative of where and how change (the only constant in your life) is proceeding in the world. When you get an idea of what sort of changes on Earth are indicated by movements in the sky, it gives you awareness.<\/p>\n
With awareness, you know your options. When you know your options, you can choose. When you choose from among your options, you can focus your efforts. When you focus your efforts, you can act effectively. When you act effectively — and consciously or not, you always do — destiny reveals itself for what it is: something you make.<\/p>\n
The only question is whether you are intentional and conscious in making your destiny. It’s not easy. There is work involved. It takes practice. Conveniently, the astrology implied by the Sun’s ingress to Gemini this year offers you a framework in which to practice.<\/p>\n
Simply look both inside yourself and in the vicinity of your daily life for what needs to conclude and what is ready to proceed. Then, make your choices and focus your efforts as best you can.<\/p>\n
If you can build your week around such a framework, rather than only being driven by outside provocations to stop and go, your world will change just as surely as the Sun changes signs. Give it a try. What have you got to lose? Just think of what you might gain.<\/p>\n
