The season of Gemini tends to elicit all sorts of new schemes. The brain is bodacious. Networking, wheeling and dealing paw at the ground, froth at the mouth.
Gemini is a mental sign associated with the planet Mercury, ruler of thinking and communication. However, Mercury is ironically moving in retrograde motion during this year's season of Gemini. Mercury pivots into backward motion on the 3rd while in Gemini; his back-assward movement through the 27th tends to invoke stalls, annoyances and absurd effects to causes that you set in motion; or maybe retrograde Mercury will conjure hyperactive vacillation when you are confronted with decision-making, large and small. The tools and channels of telecommunication are inclined to misbehave. Thumb-twiddling, hand-wringing and anxious navel gazing are on the agenda, as well.

 Aries The season of Gemini generally invokes a lot of activity in Life of Aries. It's not so much that your plots thicken, rather they proliferate, breed, spawn and beget. The art of communication is accentuated -- your tongue is sharp, your wits are honed and your barbs are beautiful and brutal. Your ruler, unruly Mars, continues his retrograde motion trip, emphasizing a reformation of your belief systems about your self, your life and life in general; interview potential new gurus; view your self from different angles of perceptions; inspiration requires new material -- travel and rub new elbows.

You'll also have opportunities to say what you haven't said and hear what you haven't managed to hear in the past.

The Madame's jaunt through Taurus also enhances your self-indulgence, giving you the ability to get or create whatever or whomever you're hankering for. The week of the 18th is chock full of kismet and emotional purges; the fickle hands of the fates weave some fortuitous fashion in your life; goals are emphasized as are the routes attain them; let go of insecurities and other emotional snags that may screw-with the sometimes illogical nature of your feverish intuition. Sometimes, it is better to do the wrong thing than to not do anything at all -- bite the bullet of hesitation. |
 Taurus Desire is a many-splendored verve as we move through fluctuating and flighty Gemini. Exercise your right to change your mind. Save all receipts. "Maybe, Maybe Not," shall be your response on RSVPs etched with the weight of seriously heavy commitment; other options could and probably will arise, particularly while both Mercury and Mars are moving in retrograde motion this month. Mercury, ruler of thinking and messages, can create some indigestion in wheeling and dealing, moving and shaking; however, past potentials that didn't quite pan-out are likely to slip through the nooses that detained them previously.

Forward-march Mars is ironically retrograde, too. Archetypes in retro motion tend to throw wrenches into the forward momentum of plans; your forte of alternate routing is apropos at this time -- so are your adroit juggling skills.

You're in a stint of identity re-definition; toss some irreverence into the cocktail of your transforming identity when performance anxiety becomes weighty. Madame Venus trots into Taurus on the 6th; for most of the month you'll either indulge in great escapades with significant others or wind-up embracing solitude.

 Cancer Distortion plays a major role in your life for most of the month while the funhouse portion of your solar chart is accentuated. Just as warped mirrors can render sometimes-amusing/sometimes-macabre reflections, the warps of the mind can screw with perceptions of your self, your situations and the world. Infinity prevails; if you are a writer, you are hard-pressed to conjure an ending to any story that you are composing; likewise, many situations seem to feature a temporary vacuum affect. Infinity can be overwhelming in stressful situations but it can also elicit endless possibilities. Your defensive shell is more easily penetrated, enhancing vulnerability. Scheming Mercury is retrograde, beckoning you to tie-up loose ends as you stagger through a threshold between endings and beginnings. Aggressive Mars continues his retrograde motion stint, emphasizing new approaches in getting to where you want to go. Mars can also serve as a compass, pointing out destinations in areas of your life that feel vague. Unfinished business prevails.

Our entry into Cancer on the 21st features a solar eclipse; new goals emerge, new people who change you, too. |

Creative fires are generously fanned -- whoosh. While database Mercury is retrograde this month, you can gather -- and use -- powerful information, particularly info that has been withheld or cast aside as insignificant in the past; of course others are probably digging up data on you, as well.

Madame Venus enters Taurus, invoking the process of delineating and then creating what you want; your desire scratches her head, smacks her lips and asks, "Hm, What Do I Want Now?"
