Dear
Readers-- Please visit the website of the National Blood Clot
Alliance at StopTheClot.org to learn more about blood clots and when
you might need to see a doctor about it.
We have a lovely New
Moon eclipse at 8 degrees, 52' Taurus (a critical degree in fixed
signs) at 2:14 am Tuesday. Fixed
signs are very hard to dislodge from a position of comfort in their
lives (OK, we might call them ruts instead) but when something like
an eclipse happens on a critical degree like this, something is sure
to happen. The Moon later trines Pluto and sextiles Jupiter, so let's
hope that events are positive and constructive.
Also
on Tuesday, Mercury at 13 degrees Taurus trines Pluto at 1:29 pm.
Mercury with Pluto is the detective, the researcher, the forensic
investigator. The urge is to get to the bottom of whatever is the
focus of your attention. Of course, for many of us this transit will
just give us a pleasant time reading the latest murder mystery.
Mercury
at 14 degrees sextiles Jupiter in Cancer at 4:32 pm Wednesday.
Mercury, as many of you might know, is the lower octave of Jupiter in
terms of education. Mercury rules practical knowledge that you can
use every day, such as how to use the computer or smart phone.
Jupiter is more the theoretical knowledge that is taught in colleges
or applied to higher endeavors like medicine or space exploration. So
in other words, this transit is great for starting a class or sitting
down to a seminar or meetup session. And with Cancer there, you will
certainly remember what you learn for years to come.
Mercury
at 20 degrees Taurus opposes Saturn in Scorpio at 8:56 pm Friday.
Mercury and Saturn should be compatible when in good aspect; it can
help you when tackling subjects like science or law. In opposition,
you may lean toward “what everybody says” when the actual science
(Saturn) says something completely different. The tendency is to have
a bad case of the gloomies under this transit. You may even consider
breaking up with someone, but you are not in an objective frame of
mind; you are seeing only the negatives. Try to distract yourself
with some hard work and then some funny movies.
Venus
enters Aries at 9:21 pm Friday.
Venus in Aries is flashy with her red shoes and purse, and dashes
around town in a cute little car. Takes the initiative in social
situations. That means that for example, they are not shy about going
up to someone and introducing themselves. It means that they will go
door to door recruiting and organizing people for a block rummage or
block party. A mature Aries personality uses this gift to encourage
others to become self-sufficient and assertive, while presenting
their message in a sensitive way. In love matters, Aries tends to
choose on the basis of mental qualities, although physical fitness is
also a must. Famous people with Venus in Aries include: Audrey
Hepburn, Henry Fonda, Abe Lincoln, John Lennon, Willem de Kooning,
Julie Christie, J Robert Oppenheimer, Henry Luce, Robert Frost, Mia
Farrow, Laurence Rockefeller, and Ted Kennedy.
The
Sun at 13 degrees Taurus trines Pluto at 8:34 pm Saturday.
I remember a transit that was exact on one Kentucky Derby day years
ago, when the Moon was trine Pluto. Silver Charm won that day. Now we
have a Sun trine Pluto on Derby day, and I am not sure what horse's
name reflects that. Could be We Miss Artie, named for an Artie (Sun)
who has passed on (Pluto). Unfortunately Artie is given almost no
chance in the Derby because he seems to be a total grass and synth
specialist.
