<\/dt>\nHave you ever met somebody for the first time and felt like you have known that being all your life? If you have, Venus’ ingress to Gemini signifies something similar impending for you now.<\/p>\n
Have you ever known somebody for a very long time, then suddenly saw a side of them you did not know was there? If so, Mars opposing Uranus for the third time in six months hints at more of the same in store for you (if it hasn’t happened already).<\/p>\n
The astrological correlation between Venus entering Gemini and an experience at once new and familiar is not derived from rarity. Venus traversing mutable air is more or less an annual event. Rather, it has to do with two truly rare events in the recent past that may well resonate into the future for a very long time.<\/p>\n
The rare occurrences were the two Venus transits across the face of the Sun —\u00a0the first in 2004, and the second in 2012. In both cases, Venus was in Gemini and Earth was lined up just right to see Venus essentially eclipse the Sun. Inhabitants of Earth will not witness Venus cross the Sun again until the next century.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Eclipses of any kind tend to leave an unseen but perceptible mark on some level of your consciousness, as well as on the zodiac. When any object (but especially the object that precipitated the event) returns to where an eclipse took place, astrology tells you to expect an echo of sorts commensurate with the context of the return.<\/p>\n
Signs provide context. Gemini is a relationship sign especially pertinent to relationship with self. Mercury currently retrograde in Gemini (a sign it rules) to host\u00a0Venus’\u00a0return all but spells out a new relationship that feels like a return. <\/p>\n
A similar but complementary situation is implied by Mars’ third of three rapidly successive oppositions to Uranus tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Energetic Mars, which normally travels through a sign in two months, has been in airy, cardinal Libra (domain of Venus) since Dec. 7 of last year because of a long retrograde cycle that ended last month. Now in direct motion again, Mars is repeating some aspects for the third time in six months that would normally take a year or two to revisit.<\/p>\n
Hence, we have come to know Mars in Libra and its aspects from there pretty well. Opposed to Libra is fiery, cardinal Aries (ruled by Mars) where galvanizing and disruptive Uranus has been continuously making its way since 2011 — another combination of planet and sign we have gotten to know well.<\/p>\n
Aries and Libra are also relationship signs. Their opposition especially pertains to the relationship of self and other. The combination of fiery Mars opposing unpredictable Uranus along the the Aries-Libra axis has taken place twice before in the last six months: on Dec. 25 of last year and as part of a larger (grand cardinal cross) aspect on April 23 of this year.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, the lively combination of Uranus and Mars opposing along the relationship axis of the zodiac all but warns you to take nothing and nobody for granted. Better to be proactive, consciously refreshing and renewing what you’re accustomed to (date night, anyone?), than to find unsteady ground under your feet.<\/p>\n
That’s how this week is shaping up with the dynamic duo of Venus and Mars. That’s how you should behave as Venus and Mars would implicitly have you do. Be dynamic yourself. Look for old connections in new meetings and new flavors in old tastes, and you’ll probably be able to make the most of whatever comes your way.<\/p>\n
