SUN OPPORTUNITY
April 19, 2012 at 12:12 PM EDT until
May 20, 2012 at 11:16 AM EDT

The Sun is all about where you SHINE! The Sun in Taurus is trine (easy and effortless energy) your 9th house of the higher-thinking mind, religion, college, higher education, brothers and sisters-in-law, philosophy, prophecy, philanthropy, all things "foreign", intuition, long distance journeys abroad, churches, airlines, vacations, international commerce, dreams, visions and teachers.

You may run into more foreigners right now than you have in the recent past. Keep in mind when you run into foreigners, foreign language films, foreign food or anything else that is foreign to you, this is because your mind and perspectives are expanding further than your homeland. You may suddenly seek a more spiritual understanding of the world around you. You may be asking yourself why a certain circumstance is happening to you and what you are suppose to learn from it. The thought, "Everything happens for a reason," may come to your mind.

This aspect will be teaching more about philosophy and subjects that are foreign to you. The great thing about this is you will be in a position to understand and comprehend more complex subjects. This is the house of higher education and you may contemplate, seek and find seminars or lectures that will expand your views. If you are involved in a court case or legal battle, it is best you settle out of court. Scroll down to read your Mercury Opportunity.

MERCURY OPPORTUNITY
May 9, 2012 at 1:14 AM EDT until
May 24, 2012 at 7:12 AM EDT

Mercury is all about COMMUNICATION! Mercury in Taurus is moving through your 9th house of higher-thinking, higher-education beyond 12th grade, religion, philosophy, foreigners and foreign travel.

Philosophical thoughts and ideas abound during this time. Since Mercury rules the "mind" and is moving through your house of the higher-thinking mind, then you will start thinking more about the bigger picture of your Life. This is also the house of "perspective" and how you perceive the world. Spirituality or religion may play a bigger role in your Life where you adopt a more practiced way of expressing these areas in your personal Life. Instead of talking the spiritual or religious talk, there is a committment to practice what you believe. Take the time to read more, write more and possibly even publish what you've been thinking or writing. Scroll down to read your Venus Opportunity.

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 squaring (challenging) your 10th house of career, status, recognition, fame, standing in the community, mother and public Life.

Venus is figuring prominently in your 10th house of career and public Life. This means that you have a magnetic presence about you in the public eye and in your career. If you are an employee, your boss and others in authority will notice you in a favorable Light. If you are even remotely thinking of opening a new business, expanding your business or asking for a raise, this is the time to do it. Especially during the next New Moon on April 21, 2012.

Since Venus rules Love and beauty, if you are single, there is a strong possibility that you may meet a prospective romantic partner through your work during this time. Even if the relationship does not blossom until after Venus moves into the next sign on August 7th, the important thing is making the connection before August 7th because Venus is dealing the energy. In other words, you may meet someone and not realize it until later that you met them during this time. This person may be older, wealthier and have some power in their career.

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.

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 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.

July 3, 2012 at 7:31 AM EDT

Mars is all about AGGRESSION and DRIVE! Mars in Virgo is moving through your 1st house of identity and how other's see you.

Take special note that this first house rules your soul's purpose and your inner motivation.

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 earth signs (Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo's) 1st, 5th and 9th houses. The short answer for these houses involves your approach on Life, your creativity and pleasure and new experiences, adventure and possibly travel. Keep in mind the keyword here is new 'experiences'. Your skeptical, analytical or stubborn nature could keep you from manifesting what you want as you play "what if it doesn't happen". You need to be more focused on "what if it does happen." They key to manifesting is believing and seeing that it will happen. If your "what if it doesn't" outweighs your "what if it does" then thy will (your will) be done. Remember, new experiences, watch for them. This Grand Trine between Mars, Jupiter and Pluto will last until Saturday, November 26, 2011.

After November 26, 2011 with this much drive and energy you will no doubt get a lot accomplished during this time when you truly apply yourself. You may find yourself defending your territory or your belief systems while Mars is moving through your sign. Mars will also cause you to aggressively pursue creative outlets. Your leadership and take charge style will get more finalized and completed. Your self-motivation is contagious and others will want to hang out with you. Your energy is attractive and others will want some of that energy; thereby wanting to hang out and cling to you. You are aggressive, feisty and just down right sexy with this empowered side of you revealing itself to others. Scroll down to read your Chiron Opportunity.

Chiron is all about discovering your WOUNDED HEALTH WITHIN! For all Virgo's, this involves your 7th house of marriages, partnerships, contractual relationships, court, law, justice, agreements and negotiations. 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.
