Venus - the planet of love, affection, attraction, beauty, happiness, value and values, indulgence, superficiality, social and artistic expression, and harmony - began its transit through the sign of Gemini yesterday morning, 6/9, at 10:23 AM EDT ... being an air sign, Gemini encourages Venus to move about and here variety is indeed the spice of life which includes objects, foods, experiences, and PEOPLE !!! ... this Venus is both lighthearted and emotionally objective ... Venus in Gemini really likes intellectual stimulation as much as romance ... there is a tendency towards a lack of commitment as Gemini makes Venus way too lighthearted to remain in one place for too long and can cause it to be very flirty ... often there is literary talent along with a love of language as well as sociability ... it enjoys mental stimulation as well as learning ... there is a pronounced casual air in relating to people ... this Venus just loves good ideas ... affection is expressed playfully, youthfully, verbally and lightheartedly ... the handling of money and possessions is usually objective and logical ... this Venus wants good communications and intellectual give-and-take in love relationships ... flirting and engaging in superficial relationships could occur due to the desire for a lot of variety and new stimulation as well as a desire to keep things cool and steer clear of too much emotional intensity ... intelligence and quick wit is highly attractive here ... this Venus enjoys being amused and entertained, otherwise there will be the tendency to look over ones shoulder at whoever is passing by ... Venus in Gemini is frequently drawn towards younger partners ...
The essence of Venus in Gemini is loving through communicating ... a sparkling personality ... there is a strong desire here to prevent stagnation and maintain fluidity so if you fall in love under this energy blindly expecting security and predictability you could be in for great disappointment ... Venus in Gemini is a budding love rather than love in full bloom so it has to be allowed to develop ... loving through communicating means letting the one you love know it rather than sitting on your feelings ... this Venus likes to get around - it is said that sexual or family ties are your "heart", but it is the diversity of social relationships that are the "lungs" which breathe life into your very being ... being a sign of duality, Gemini will cause Venus to be more aware of what it wants than what it thinks it wants ... it is most likely that under this energy one will only attract what it truly desires ... the energy of Venus in Gemini can be expressed in the following ways:
POSITIVE: amusing and friendly, cooly affectionate, light-hearted, emotionally objective, socially at ease, emotionally buoyant, stimulating company, lively conversationalist, ear to the ground, good-humoured, expressive, agile and witty, socially adaptable, emotionally flexible, well-connected, chraming, courteous, tactful, co-operative
NEGATIVE: overly flirtatious, flippant and flighty, makes light of others feelings, emotionally distant, social butterfly, superficial values, lack of commitment, meaningless banter, shallow gossip, empty gestures, verbose, restless and fickle, double standards, inconsistent partner, social opportunist, insincere, easy come - easy go
Gemini born individuals, this is your time to "glow" and become more "attractive" ... as always, you should seek out and ask for what you want - you just might get it !!
Venus now joins the party with the Sun and Mercury, and it remains in the sign of Gemini until July 4th... we all should trust in our natural wit and appeal ... try listening to your heart rather than your own and other peoples voices ... others will appreciate you if you truly appreciate them ... expressing your feelings verbally will open new doors both socially and emotionally ... get out there and experience the reality of variety truly being the spice of life - you'll "love" it !!!

ABUNDANCE ... COMFORT ... DEVOTION ... APPRECIATION !!!
Jupiter, the planet symbolizing growth, expansion, laws, beliefs, ethics, opportunity, wealth and faith began its transit through the sign of Taurus today, June 4th, at 9:56 AM EDT … this Jupiter is all about manifesting things … it values money, possessions, physical gratification and beauty … there is usually a very deep appreciation of sensual pleasures … beliefs often center around being practical and the material world … one may spend a lot of their money and income on books, seminars, the search for knowledge and the collection of art objects … one needs to be careful about putting too much importance on possessions or gratifications … trust is usually placed in what is safe, secure and familiar … one may idealize enjoyment, finances, ownership or perhaps strengthen their faith and trust in life through contact with nature and simple pleasures … growth is achieved through being steady and reliable …
Jupiter in Taurus makes one very much at home with financial dealings and very adept at investments and finance … one may do well in working in their own business or working with other people’s money … this energy may produce one who becomes a stockbroker, banker, or one who deals in any field that requires patience and structure …positively used, there is the ability to develop a deep understanding of the true value of life … one truly enjoys the luxuries money can buy as well … this energy also tends to make one quietly stubborn with an intense dislike of being pushed too hard … in addition, there is found concern with justice and orthodox religion … if not careful with this energy, one can become the victim of their expensive tastes leading to over-indulgence, laziness and indebtedness ...
Jupiter in Taurus is all about growth through being stabilized … there is usually the ability to attract wealth in some way or other … but if not careful one may end up amassing wealth and accumulating material things and then wallowing in it and somehow losing everything or losing control of it … one must remember the Law of Infinite supply which states that in order to maintain wealth one must invest what one has in helping to further others … eventually one may come to realize that a sense of wealth rather than the wealth itself is all that really matters … this energy likes the good things of life, being the provider, material wealth, traditional values and warmth and comfort … it dislikes bare existence, wastefulness, being in debt, scarcity … the energy of Jupiter in Taurus can be expressed in the following ways :
POSITIVE: sound judgment, contemplative, practical philosopher, comfortable, gives stability, steady progress, trusting, jovial, good-humored, generous, good appetite, affluent, money wise, charitable
NEGATIVE: self-opinionated, too cautious, smug, expects too much ease, stick-in-the-mud, cynical, irresponsible, wasteful, gluttonous, greedy, penny-pincher, exploitive, overly status – conscious
Jupiter remains in the sign of Taurus until June 11th, 2012 … Taurus born, this is your time, for the next 12 months, where you may discover an extra chance for opportunity, growth and just plain luck coming your way so keep your eyes and ears open … hopefully the expansion will not be all in your waistline !!! … we all will have the opportunity to manifest more on the material level over the next year … just make sure to appreciate it for what it is and not flaunt it at others … and ultimately when we are devoted, kind and use sound judgment, and realize that there is much more to life than we know about, we will all be that much better off !!!

SPIRITUAL, MYSTICAL, IMAGINATIVE ... DELUSIONAL !!!
Neptune - the planet of the spiritual, universal, ethereal, mysterious, mystical, enlightenment, psychic, delusional, imagination, escape, surrender, sacrifice, artistic inspiration, musical ability, glamour, fantasy, romantic love, dissolving, uplifting, confusing, consoling, undermining, drugs and alcohol - began its retrograde journey for 2011 early this morning, June 3rd, at 3:28 AM EDT ....
One of the main energies of Neptune retrograde is to not just have blind faith ... be it personal spiritual quests or the "collective" quest of society, Neptune retrograde energy means a reexamination of hopes and beliefs ... we may all need to individually question and test all aspects of faith ... we begin to question and develop objectivity in regards to the intangibles of life such as truth, fear, hope and inspiration ... when Neptune is retrograde it is closest to the Earth making its function even more intensified ... artists, musicians, poets and those who are leading a highly spiritual life may especially feel the energy of a Neptune retrograde and be truly inspired ... during a Neptune retrograde if we aren't pursuing a spiritual quest we may become confused, disillusioned or full of illusions ... there is a chance that some may fall into drugs, alcohol or other escapist behaviors ... ideally, this is a time to question the ideas society accepts about faith, fears, truth and understanding ...
Neptune retrograde is a time for everyone to tune into the collective unconscious and realize how our own fears, illusion, confusion or spiritual journey are connected to what is happening with humanity ... this is a time to determine whether or not our own individual energies are being used positively to develop faith and spirituality, or if one is simply pursuing a path of escapism and disappointment ... Neptune retrogrades about 5 - 6 months every year ...
Neptune is currently transiting through the sign of Pisces - the sign it naturally rules ... but it only got as far as 1 degree of Pisces just giving us a glimpse of what is to come during its transit through this sign ...
Neptune, by retrogrde motion,will return to the sign of Aquarius, which represents a need for unification through liberation, for last minute business and won't return for approximately 165 years !!! ... while Neptune transited through Aquarius, we've all been put through tests to see exactly what freedom is and to realize that the best way to unify is ultimately to liberate ... this can lead to the ablility to tune into other fellow human beings and to become united as one ... this period has also come to help begin to illuminate those who can see the "Light" and those who cannot ... Neptune in Aquarius sought inspiration through groups, networking, and individuality and can lead one to be quite the humanitarian ... Neptune, which began its transit through Aquarius in January of 1998, will complete its final transit through Aquarius on February 3rd, 2012 ... now isn't that going to be an interesting year indeed with everything else going on !!!
Pisces born, since Neptune is your planetary ruler, this is your yearly time to review and rethink what has been going on in your life since the last Neptune retrograde ended on November 6/7th, 2010 depending on which time zone you live in ... where have you been seeking the "ideal" and where have you looked at things realistically or perhaps through the proverbial "rose colored glasses" ???
If you have had a natal chart done, then you might get an idea what area of life this Neptune retrograde energy will be affecting ... in other words, where have you possibly let illusion mislead you ... or perhaps where are you seeking the "ideal" ...
Neptune remains retrograde until November 9th ... this would be an excellent and possibly extremely rewarding time to keep a dream journal as your dreams are sure to be enhanced with symbolism and information from the Universe resulting in profitable and/or illuminating ideas ... after all, hasn't it been said "a dream is a wish your heart makes" ???

TALK ... TALK ... TALK - SHUT UP !!!
Mercury began its speedy transit through the curious and inquisitive sign of Gemini early this afternoon, June 2nd, at 4:03 PM EDT .... let the Mental Olympics begin !!! ... Mercury is very much at home here and functions well because this is an air sign and, this is also one of the two signs Mercury naturally rules - the other sign being Virgo ...
Mercury in Gemini gives a mind and tongue that can be very restless but very good at absorbing and learning information easily and then sharing it ... one can be quite articulate but sometimes have the tendency to talk or even gossip too much ... there is a skill for verbal expression and the ability to communicate quickly and cleverly ... often the ideas and manner of speech come off a bit superficial due to the urge to communicate perceived information immediately or because one is covering too much ground ... this energy is all about learning and communicating ... there is a high degree of curiosity about everything coupled with an eagerness to learn as much as possible - the world is ones school of life and therein exists a sumptuous, endless and delicious banquet of knowledge !!! ... the mind is likely to be logical, rational, and able to offer information on most any topic ... friendly interchanges are frequent along with the tendency to ask a lot of questions ... there is a high degree of nervous energy which can flow into speech, gestures, writing or manual dexterity in some fashion ... there is also the possibility of physical dexterity and flexibility ...
Those born with Mercury in Gemini, as well as the rest of us that are subject to its transiting influence, can be very hard to pin down ... one often holds down more than one job or may work on a number of projects at one time ... quick, versatile and interested in the world at large, one tends to live mostly on a mental plane ... one MUST have facts and information - there is a basic need to KNOW ... this energy frequently makes one good at languages and math, gives one a love of reading, studying , traveling, and talking with new people about what you have learned or are thinking about ... there is also the potential for a lack of being able to stick-to-it as well as a lack of order in ones life ... usually this energy can produce one who knows a little bit about everything but not a lot about anything !!!
The essence of Mercury in Gemini is thinking through communicating ... the mind is fed and nurtured through making contact with as many people and as many subjects as possible ... the intellect is wired up and ready to go ... it must constantly be stimulated otherwise nervous irritability or restlessness can occur ... the mind is efficient due to its ability to be quick and acquisitive, but the quality of the mind is only as good as what is being fed into it through social, business and educational pursuits - input becomes just as important as output !!! ... there is the capability of thinking on two or more levels at one time ... but one must guard against not having a definite direction to move in or else there can be the result of great mental confusion ... the energy of Mercury in Gemini can be expressed the following ways:
POSITIVE: articulate, curious, well-informed, widely read, quick-witted, lively mind, fast learner, dextrous, clever, humorous, sharp, fluent, inventive, versatile, original, handy, interesting, agreeable, unbiased, logical
NEGATIVE: chatterbox, nosy, gossip, superficial knowledge, highly strung, unruly mind, unperservering, fidgety, crafty, mischievous, flippant, makeshift, imitative, simplistic, trite, scatters energies, unfocused, misses the point
Mercury transiting through Gemini is an excellent time to open your mind to countless new ideas and information ... allow your mind to be like a sponge absorbing as much as it can realistically process ... Mercury remains in the sign of Gemini until June 16 ... we obviously have a lot of information to absorb and process ... and as much as we will want to share and express our opinions we may find ourselves or someone else saying to us - SHUT UP !!! ... ultimately one of the greatest lessons of Mercury in Gemini becomes the ability to respect the value of your own mind : watch what goes into it and what comes out of it !!!

GOTTA MOVE ... GOTTA GET OUT ...
"Gotta leave this place ... gotta find some place ... some other place ... some brand new place ... some new place, with new lights and new faces ... " ... and with that thought in mind, the Sun began it's yearly gallop through the sign of Gemini early this morning, May 21st, at 5:21 AM EDT ... the final astrological sign of the Spring season ... this energy all about aquiring knowledge, communicating in many ways, and constantly being on the MOVE ... sooooo ... get ready ... get set ... GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!
In Gemini, the Sun needs to shine fluently - one may gain or seek recognition for their verbal skills and their ability to be highly creative through perceptiveness and the ability to compare, contrast, and find connections between ideas ... there is a need to shine by being versatile - here is a natural drive towards a wide ranging curiosity which could also get you into trouble or end up causing you to be too scattered ... a wide variety of talents, social contacts and hobbies will assist one in their self-expression ... there is also a need to shine for ones agility and flexibility - one could achieve recognition through their dexterity, adaptability or enhanced eye-hand coordination ... and there is a need to seek recognition for ones mental brilliance - one wants to feel proud of their intelligence, rationality and logic ... there is a tendency here to be ego-vulberable regarding ones mental and communication skills ... pride and shame issues are tied to the mind in this sign ... and ultimately one needs to express themselves verbally and to achieve positive recognition for their intellect ...
Gemini is a masculine/air/mutable(flexible) sign ... its symbol is the Twins - associated with duality, humanism, versatility and communication ... the picture is that of two figures standing side by side with a line over the top and the bottom - also known as the glyph for the Roman numeral 2 ... symbolically, these two upright lines bounded on the top and the bottom represent wisdom, learning, and the power of the mind to synthesize information ... Gemini's key phrase is "I THINK" and its keyword is "VERSATILITY" ... Anatomically it rules the hands, arms, shoulders and lungs thus making this energy prone to strains and accidents with the arms and hands as well as being prone to bronchitis and respiratory ailments ... Gemini is the sign opposite to Sagittarius in the zodiac ...
As you are certainly aware of by now, Mercury is the ruling planet of Gemini in addition to the sign of Virgo ... Mercury - the ancient messenger of the Gods ... in astrology it rules travel and communication with its main emphasis being quick cleverness and a nervous temperament ... but it also bestows somewhat of a fickle nature that tends to arouse unexpected anger in others sometimes the depth of which Gemini energy misjudges ... its keyword is "REASONING ABILITY" ... it therefore rules reason, mental and cerebral capacity, ability to communicate, intellect, awareness, dexterity, rationalization, transmission, words, opinion, and sensory perceptions ... its action is quick, uncertain, and volatile ... it deals with travel - especially short trips, brothers and sisters, children, clerking, speaking, writing, bookkeeping, secretaries, neighborhood activities, letters and mailings, means of transportation, trade, and techniques ... in your natal chart the place where you find Mercury shows how and where you communicate the best ... anatomically, Mercury rules the nervous system, brain, sight, hands and arms ...
Gemini is the natural ruler of the 3rd house of the horoscope ... this is the house of side-by-side relationships whose keyword is "AWARENESS" ... the 3rd house shows the local environment you live in, your brothers and sisters, and all forms of communication - speaking, writing, and singing ... it indicates all means of transportation including short trips ... it shows the adaptability of ones mind to learning and to new ideas, the ability to relate to ones environment, and ones taken-for-granted skills ... this house shows the conscious and objective portion of ones mind as well as ones primary schooling ...
The essence of the Sun in Gemini is living through communicating ... the contact maker ... one who is forever young ... Gemini is famous for its dualistic and sometimes contrary nature ... word and mind play is an endless source of amusement here ... versatility rules - everything is equally interesting to Gemini therefore making it most likely one of the least prejudiced of the 12 signs of the Zodiac ... Gemini has an extremely lively imagination making it also one of the most artistically creative Signs as well ... ironically one can lack the imagination to see that in using ones imagination it draws one into a closer intimacy with life itself, but getting deeply involved is the Twins weakest ability ... ultimately one must realize that the answer to the eternal Gemini questioning lies within the imagination and not the brain!!! ... the energy of the Sun in Gemini can be expressed in the following ways:
POSITIVE: amusing, perceptive, witty, eloquent, swift, ingenious, quick on the uptake, mobile, versatile, flexible, adaptable, imaginative, non-dogmatic, sees both sides, light touch, objective, clever mind, informative, resourceful
NEGATIVE: cheap, glib, sarcastic, chatterbox, fly, devious, shifty, evasive, dabbler, two-faced, fickle, "chases rainbows", non-commital, indecisive, superficial, aloof, unable to see the whole picture, bluffer, involved in excessive gossip
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEMINI BORN - part of your reason for being here is certainly to entertain us and keep us on our toes !!! ... yes, this blog is a little longer than some, but after all, information IS what Gemini craves!!! ... the Sun remains in the sign of Gemini until June 21st ... remember to respect your own dreams and avoid cutting corners in your pursuit of them ... more importantly, pay attention to the "value" of what you say ... Gemini is truly a very youthful oriented energy, so for the next few weeks just enjoy "being a kid again" and think about being forever young !!!

A SLOW YET PRACTICAL TRAIN OF THOUGHT !!!
Mercury, steadily and with a logical progression, began its transit of the sign of Taurus, right behind Venus, this evening, 5/15, at 7:18 PM EDT ... our mode of thinking and communicating has now shifted from the rapid fire energy of Aries into the slower and more methodical energy of Taurus ... the keyword for this energy is "factual" ... here the mind and tongue work deliberately and steadily with the tendency to sometimes get stuck in mental ruts ... this energy can be highly practical and grounded ... business skills or any activity that incorporates the use of common sense usually accompanies this energy ... often there can be learning through tactile contact or actual physical manipulation of the world ... perceptions can often be limited due to a desire to learn slowly and carefully ... there is a desire to bring ideas down to earth, and there are usually interests in money, sensuality and physical comfort ...
This Mercury loves to read - anything !!! ... time is taken in order to arrive at all decisions ... this Mercury also loves to "sleep on it" and needs solid, tangible, physical proof in order to really believe in anything ... the thought pattern is developed in terms of worth thus making "value" the ultimate selling point ... there is usually an excellent memory bestowed by this mercurial energy and it makes one a good observer but ironically one is apt to listen inattentively as their mind is almost always already made up and will rarely be changed !!! ... even though there is a love of reading, it is ultimately realized that experience teaches one the most valuable lessons in life ...
The essence of Mercury in Taurus is thinking through stabilizing ... the concrete mind ... SEEING IS BELIEVING!!! ... the mind here likes to chew things over and over in order to acquire a true depth of knowledge ... there is more of a taste for the traditional rather than the abstract and the avant- garde, and one finds it is steady working habits that produce thorough and solid results ... ultimately there is a gift given here to see how any plan will work out in physical terms ... the energy of Mercury in Taurus can be expressed in the following ways:
POSITIVE: sound mind, thorough, patient, cautious, shrewd, resourceful, sensible, realistic, good concentration, mentally sure, deliberating, practical thinker, sense of form, steady mind, enduring, mentally laid-back, docile, undemanding
NEGATIVE: slow minded, plodding, tardy, guarded, mean-minded, money-grubbing, boneheaded, one-track-minded, overburdened, limited thinker, stubborn mind, lazy-minded, dumb, misses the point, couch potato
Mercury has been traveling closely with Venus since it turned back into direct motion on April 23rd and returned up to full speed on May 11th, but it wll soon pass on by Venus in its trek around the Zodiac - at least for now ... Mercury joins the Sun, Venus and Mars in the Taurean energy orgy - insert collective groan, or moan if you'd rather, at this point !!! ... Mercury remains in the sign of Taurus until June 2nd ... Taurus born individuals, are you feeling all the personal planetary energy bestowed upon your sign by the Universe yet ??? ... now is your chance - along with everyone else - to get a lot accomplished and anchored to a firm foundation with so much earthy energy - and that's no "BULL" !!!

JUST A "TOUCH" OF LOVE !!!
Venus begins its transit through the sensual, dependable sign of Taurus, the Bull, this evening, May 15th, at 6:12 PM EDT ... Venus is very comfortable and at home here as this is one of the two signs of the zodiac it naturally rules - the other being Libra of course!!!! ... Venus now joins the Sun and Mars transiting the sign of Taurus - so we indeed have here a hunk a hunk of burning love and desire !!!
Venus in Taurus usually enjoys physical gratification - including food, drink, possessions, finances, and sensual indulgences - often to the point of becoming overly indulgent !!! ... it deeply enjoys sensations, appreciates nature, and truly savors the five senses more so than usual - especially TOUCH !!! ... this energy is often relaxed and easygoing in relating to people and it appreciates loyalty and stability ... affection is expressed physically and steadily - sometimes to the point of being too possessive ... the drive for pleasure is very strong and could easily make one excessively self-indulgent ... the handling of money and possessions is usually done sensibly, but there could be the tendency to overvalue comfort, luxury and/or attractive physical objects ... there is a desire for comfort in love relationships and one responds to sensual energy from other people ... an appreciation of beauty and artisitic talents can lead to personal satisfaction and success ... whatever this energy loves it will love completely and totally ... it believes relationships can last forever ... sometimes the relationships last longer than they should ... the saying that old habits die hard is especially true with Venus in Taurus ... and this energy continues to think about all the time it has "invested" in its object of desire !!! .. this is a steadfast love ... it also is prone to the love of good food so gaining weight could prove a challenge under this energy ...
The essence of Venus in Taurus is loving through stabilizing ... it's Nature's connoisseur ... there is a pronounced need to show physical affection in order to feel loved - mere words will NOT suffice ... the secret here to obtaining the object of your desires and maintaining a stable relationship is to understand that anything or anyone outside of yourself can only become a part of your life when your value and values are a reflection and in harmony with Nature itself ... this is one of the very strongest Planet-Sign combinations that indicates a genuine love of Nature ... the ultimate truth here is that what you love and care about is only as solid and secure as you feel inside ... the energy of Venus in Taurus can be expressed in the following ways:
POSITIVE: attractive, earthy, affectionate, artistic, aesthetic, peaceful, sensuous, satisfying, steadfast, loyal, wholesome, constant, sympathetic, encouraging, comforting, pleasure-giving, nature-loving, deeply trusting, sound values, conservational
NEGATIVE: greedy, materialistic, self-indulgent, overly sensual, self-satisfied, stubborn, possessive, smug, too abiding, misguiding, dissipating, insatiable, limited viewpoint, gullible, weight-gainer, jealous, insecure
Taurus born individuals this is your time to reflect your inner beauty outwardly and ask for what you want - you just might get it if it is what you truly desire ... for the rest of us, we can now see what it might be like to be born with Venus in Taurus, as well as getting a glimpse into how Taurus born individuals may operate in their quest for love and defining what their true values lie ... Venus remains in the sign of Taurus until June 9th - remember that what makes us feel loved is our own persistent faith in our individual love nature !!!
