If Life Is a Play the Script’s About to Change: Solar Eclipse in Gemini

May 202012

Life this weekend may feel tempest tossed indeed, thanks to a solar eclipse in Gemini. If your natal or progressed chart is activated by it, some script re-writes are in store for you.

Today is pretty grand on the cosmic scale. We enter Gemini Season with a bang. The Sun moves into Gemini; then, 8 ½ hours later, the Moon joins him in their monthly embrace known as the New Moon.

But it’s not just any New Moon; it’s a solar eclipse as well. Solar eclipses tend to introduce brand new conditions, or set up a new situation that develops more fully over time. It’s pretty hard to predict the outcome of an eclipse, since it’s the equivalent of drawing the joker in a card game. But, if Life is a play, some of you are about to be handed a script with re-writes.

Because communicative Gemini hosts the party, you can bet that issues centering on communication, mental processing, and learning will be part and parcel. If you happen to have your birth chart, take a look at which house 0 degree Gemini falls in. That’s the area of life that’s getting this major dose of brand new energy. And if you haven’t had your birth chart read by an astrologer you are welcome to get in touch with me for a glimpse into what makes you You.

The Guilt of a Good Daydream with Saturn and Neptune

May 102012

You've got a mound of work but you just can't get into it, in spite of the fact that you know you're up against it. Reward yourself with a time-out for every unit of work you get done.

As Mercury harmonizes with dreamy Neptune the mind wants so very much to either tune out or to luxuriate in a sweet daydream. That would be simple enough if it weren’t for the fact that the Moon in industrious Capricorn squares off with taskmaster Saturn. This creates a “work harder!” vibe. Talk about a dilemma.
