We’re heading for the Gemini New Moon at the very beginning of next week, so the time for practical, emotional or psychological fresh starts is not far off. In the meantime we have Mercury (the mind) and Venus (where your heart lies) as the active players, and both are strongly placed as they’re travelling through their own signs.
As the Moon travels through the 12 signs once a month this means that she joins up with all the other planets throughout that time. These conjunctions are minor details in some ways but they’re well worth noting as they can act as what are called “testimonies” to the bigger picture.
The week starts slowly, but don’t be fooled. We’re in the Taurus season, sign of Fixed Earth. However, the rumblings and grumblings – that started with the Sun meeting up with disruptive, spontaneous but always change loving Uranus in Taurus a couple of weeks ago – are definitely getting louder…
There’s a complex picture in the making at the moment as two awkward patterns are being formed by a combination of three planets, firstly Mercury, Mars and Saturn early in the week and then Mars, Jupiter and Pluto at the weekend. In between these two tangled areas we have mixed Mercury aspects and a New Moon…
Sun conjunct Uranus in Taurus. Nearly always, these major aspects are at their most powerful when “applying”, ie in the process of becoming exact. They generally show during the 48 hours prior to the moment of exactitude and then their long lasting results are the things to be dealt with in the aftermath.
