May 20, 2012 at 11:16 AM EDT

The Sun is all about where you SHINE! The Sun in Taurus is moving through your 12th house of the hidden realm, subconscious, past, pain, karma, jails, institutions, hospitals, finances of friends, secret sorrows, fears, self-destruction, large animals, skeletons in closet, self-undoing and self-injury. It is about your hidden strengths, weaknesses and what you don't want others to see or know about you, unredeemed karma and selfless service to humanity. Refrain from letting this house frighten you because it is necessary that you look at your own self-undoing in order to keep yourself on the straight path.

When the Sun hits the 12th house of the hidden realm, there is a saying in astrology that says, "The native is receiving mixed signals." This is also the house that Pisces naturally rules. The native being the person this pertains to, which is YOU at this time. Since this is the hidden realm, then your sub-conscious represents what is hidden, which is exactly what you wish to keep secret. The Good news about this aspect is it will cause you to become more aware of your hidden motives that are deep in your subconscious which are driving your conscious actions. This is where the mixed signals comes into play. This is a fantabulous time to get your groovey back before your birthday month begins. This is when you into solitude and get yourself back together and give yourself a make-over.

While you are working through this, you may confuse yourself as well as others. The 12th house can be a tremendous opportunity for growth when you use this energy to get to know yourself better. So big deal if you have a hidden agenda that you were not previously aware; now you get to change it . . . and that type of change is the Good stuff. Scroll down to read your Mercury Opportunity.

MERCURY OPPORTUNITY

May 24, 2012 at 7:12 AM EDT

Mercury is all about COMMUNICATION! Mercury in Taurus is moving through your 12th house of what cannot be seen, endings, karma, finances of friends, secret sorrows, fears and self-undoing.

Mentate on this transit as deeply as you can. Mercury rules communication and it is in the 12th house of "what cannot be seen." It is the hidden realm! This means that your brain is working on being more conscious of your unconscious desires, motivations and actions. Think about it. The more you think about your unconscious desires, motivations and actions, the easier it will be to correct what you do not like and bring to physical manifestation what you Love. Unconscious desires, motivations and actions can keep you stagnated if you are fearful. This is the time to recognize those fears and walk straight through them. There is a strong possibility that whatever you fear already exists; therefore, you have nothing to fear because it already IS. If you move forward one tiny step, then you have conquered the fear. BINGO! Recognize those unconscious thoughts and move past them. As a result, you now have insight. Remember, the scripture . . . "I was blind, but now I see."

VENUS OPPORTUNITY
April 3, 2012 at 11:18 AM EDT until
August 7, 2012 at 9:43 AM EDT

Venus is all about LOVE and BEAUTY! Venus in Gemini is moving through your 1st house of personality, how you see the world, how others see you, attitude, appearances, worldly outlook, self-awareness and how you respond.

The 1st house is not just how you see the world, but also how others see you. Others are naturally attracted to you even when you just walk into a room. Work it baby, work it! Venus is all about Love and beauty; therefore, you will be attracting attention right and left. This is an opportunity for you to show your fun and lively side while you have everyone's attention. In fact, if you are in sales, this is the time to work your magic because everyone is listening to you.

You may be more compromising and eager to please because everyone is so eager to please you. Refrain from taking advantage of other people while you have them under your spell. You may also attract new friends and a potential romantic partner. Get out there and have some fun. If you can take a vacation or a few vacations days, this is a great time to get up and go!

When Venus is in Gemini, you should be asking for a discount no matter where you go. Just ask! Gemini is the sales person of the zodiac. Gemini is the flirt of the zodiac. And Gemini is the great communicator of the zodiac. Venus brings about Divine Protection and juicy Lovin' on the sign involved. Venus will remain in Gemini until August 7, 2012. That's a lot of Lovin' on flirty, fiesty and flighty Gemini. Knowing full well Venus was in the process of making her move into Gemini, I decided to go ahead and play the Venus in Gemini card in three completely different circumstances. I asked for a discount and got it all three times. I thought my Scorpion King was going to fall over when he saw this astrology work for me. I told him, "Watch and learn baby." We pulled into Auto Zone and we walked in separately. I grabbed the oil and oil filter that he needed. While he shopped and listened to me in action, I went to the counter and kindly asked the nice man for a discount. He looked at me, smiled and said, "Well we normally don't discount on the oil because it's maintenance but I think I can do something here. How about 15 percent?" Being the Gemini that I am, with a charming Gemini flirty smile I said, "That would be great! I really appreciate it." Geez, I didn't even need to use my wink with my smile . . but I did.

Venus is in Gemini until August 7, 2012. Now this is quite a long time for Venus, the planet of Love and beauty because Venus typically stays in a sign for about a month and then moves on to the next sign. Now folks, it is really important to understand how this Venus in Gemini energy works and this understanding is what will keep you out of trouble because Venus in Gemini is 'fickle love' and Venus in Gemini is going to affect us all in some way. Venus in Gemini is even more fickle love when it is afflicted by a hard aspect (a square, opposition, etc.) Watch for these squares, oppositions, etc., as I make additions and changes to this particular writing over the next several months.

Venus in Gemini is even more fickle love when it is afflicted by a hard aspect (a square, opposition, etc.) Watch for these squares, oppositions, etc., as I make additions and changes to this particular writing over the next several months.

Venus in Gemini is not really motivated to settle down. This Venus in Gemini energy likes to 'date around' and it extremely difficult to make a relationship, permanent. Venus in Gemini basically says, "Variety is the spice of Life." The sign of Gemini is known for having two of everything including two Loves and when you throw Venus in Gemini into the mix, then two Loves is a necessity. In fact, I expect a lot of people may feel like back-pedalling in their relationship and may not feel all that excited to 'settle down'. There will likely be phrases such as, "Can't we just be friends?" and "I Love you, I'm just not in Love with you." Now as a Gemini, I'm old enough now to admit to myself and the world that this is definitely the case. While Gemini may be in Love, they also have a Love in their back pocket just in case the other Love doesn't work out. The fix for this is to have a career or hobby that you most certainly would not give up for a romantic Love. In this way the Gemini can have their cake and eat it too. So I have my Scorpion King who I Love and I have this website, which I Love. I wouldn't give up this website to make room for another man and keep him in my back pocket just in case. Forget that! My insatiable and unquenchable desire for two Loves finally got satisfied. So the Gemini mistake is making the two Loves 'of the same' instead of 'entirely two different things'. Get it?

Venus in Gemini is much like Venus in Aquarius who often says, "Can't we just be friends?" Those with Venus in Aquarius or Venus in Gemini should probably not even get married. In fact, I will just go out on a limb and say 70 percent of those with Venus in Gemini or Venus in Aquarius have absolutely no business being married. This does not mean that Venus in Gemini or Venus in Aquarius can't be devoted individuals because they can be, they just need an enormous amount of personal freedom and the kind of freedom they need isn't what a normal person can give them. I'd say that the Sex in the City character, Samantha had Venus in Gemini. Someone with Venus in Gemini or Venus in Aquarius in their natal chart is spending a helluva lot of time chasing pleasure. In fact, when it comes to a value system concerning romance, intimacy, dating, marriage and Love; Venus in Gemini is pretty dang superficial.

Venus will go through its Retrograde period from May 15, 2012 until June 27, 2012. During that Retrograde period you absolutely do not want to mess with your looks by getting a full make over or even plastic surgery during that time. No one should EVER change their appearance too much or even drastically during Venus Retrograde. Also, here is the heads up on relationships, Venus Retrograde is not the time to set wedding dates, get engaged or even get married or you will be rehashing all of the problems you didn't settle and work out. Venus Retrograde will be the time to iron out differences and correct what is already present such as taking better care of yourself and your relationship.

MARS OPPORTUNITY

July 3, 2012 at 7:31 AM EDT

Information regarding Mars Retrograde from January 23, 2012 until April 13, 2012 is in your Weekly Horoscope.

Mars is all about AGGRESSION and DRIVE! Mars in Virgo is squaring (challenging) your 4th house of home and family. It describes your roots, your heritage and your private life. This house also rules land, property, residences, domestic affairs, psychological foundations, biological inheritance and place of abode.

Check out the Mars Moving Through the Signs Calendar. Dates are listed from 1920 up until 2015.

Mars moves into Virgo for an unusually long transit of nearly 8 months. That's quite a long time. Mars typically stays in a sign for about 1-1/2 months, so you can see 8 months is out of the ordinary. Now the reason for this is Mars will turn Retrograde in Virgo on January 24, 2012 and then turn Direct on April 14, 2012 moving along again picking up speed but for now, it's a slow poke. The Good news is Mars in Virgo (earth sign) will form a trine with Pluto in Capricorn (earth sign) and Jupiter in Taurus (earth sign) forming a Grand Trine.

This trine in the earth signs will impact the air signs (Aquarius, Gemini and Libra's) 4th, 8th and 12th houses. The short answer for these houses involves your home life or real estate, other people's money and resources and activity behind the scenes that may involve money. Not to worry Gemini, the financial picture here favors you. It is quite possible you may be receiving some very welcomed news, money or relief. This Grand Trine between Mars, Jupiter and Pluto will last until Saturday, November 26, 2011.

After November 26, 2011 Mars 'may' try to do a number on your spirit during this time, especially with regard to home and family ties. Remain calm because Mars is just trying to ruffle your feathers and get your dander up. This has to do with actions and words in the home and family that are bringing about past memories. The great thing about the past is that you can learn from it. If you choose not to learn, then Mars will keep yanking your chain. Refrain from irrational thought, actions and words. Think before you speak and you will be just fine. Mars absolutely Loves a Good fight because it is an aggressive planet. Channel this aggressive energy into a project or some worthwhile cause. By the way, you are a worthwhile cause too. Scroll down to read your Chiron Opportunity.

CHIRON OPPORTUNITY

April 17, 2018 at 4:10 AM EDT

Chiron is all about discovering your WOUNDED HEALTH WITHIN! For all Gemini's, this involves your 10th house of career, public image, fame, fortune, recognition, the military, the father, authority figures, status in the community and rank in society. Chiron is an asteroid and is called, the wounded healer. Chiron, the Wounded Healer, represents our emotional and physical wounds. It reveals a part of us that is hurt, small and vulnerable. Chiron encourages us to heal our wounds, and then look beyond personal realms, to see the suffering of others, and to become teachers and healers. The house that Chiron occupies in your Natal Chart is where these characteristics will manifest the most.

There is a thought that we create our own suffering because we continue to cling to material possessions, behaviors, beliefs and ideas that we need to release in order to move to our higher-self. Ahhhhhh . . read that sentence again for a deeper impact. Wherever you find Chiron in your Natal Chart, it represents where you suffer and how you can release your own suffering to move forward in Life.
