\"Venus<\/a>
Venus enters Gemini Monday morning.<\/figcaption><\/figure>The Sun ingressed water sign Cancer over the weekend, the solstice that brought the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere and the shortest day in the Southern Hemisphere. And as often happens, there remains a collection of planets in the sign the Sun just left. For this and other reasons, adjoining signs are more closely related in practical reality than they are in astrological theory. It works this way with natal charts as well (i.e., you probably have some planets in signs adjoining your Sun sign). Currently Mercury is retrograde in Gemini (that ends in one week), and Juno, one of the most potent and influential asteroids, is also in there. Monday at 8:33 am EDT Venus leaves Taurus and enters Gemini, adding to the many-voiced conversation. With the Cancer Sun there is a pull for emotional grounding, and with numerous points in Gemini there is considerable brainwave activity, mental stress and chatter. It will help therefore to sift through your communications for the real message, which is unlikely to be the one that everyone assumes it is, or the one that sounds true. You may need to composite together a version of the story that is actually helpful, because at the moment there’s plenty of conflicting data. Do your best not to be annoyed by those who don’t see what you’re figuring out, or who are not bothering. With Venus, I suggest being aware of several facts. One is that it’s conjunct an asteroid called Sisyphus, which has the theme of pointless effort. It’s also square a centaur called Nessus, which can accentuate a dark tone both mentally and emotionally. That too is something that must be penetrated and seen through. And finally Venus is gradually moving into a square with Neptune. Devotion to truth is essential right now, and that takes patience. When there is an actual need for truth, it’s unlikely to be because conditions facilitate its emergence. Indeed, the need for truth, for clear perception, for accurate information, coincides with fog and disinformation, and that is the scope of things right now. Venus, the esoteric ruler of Gemini, to me represents not necessarily truth but accurate understanding as a sacred quest. Hang in with her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
