Significant Planetary Aspects for:

Mercury is the planet to watch now. Mercury is still backtracking through the Venus-ruled territory of Taurus. He’s still in control of taskmaster Saturn, who has stationed direct in the middle of Virgo but isn’t quite ready to begin moving forward. The cosmic messenger rules Sunday’s New Moon, too, and has agenda items before then with just about every other major player in the sky. Wear comfortable shoes and keep those cell phones and wireless headsets charged. Everyone will have something to say this week, and we’ll all be covering lots of territory.

Much of that territory will be familiar. Mercury’s retrograde is sending us back over matters that we’ve dealt with since April 22. We’ve had almost a month since then living with the new alignment of heart and will that occurred at that same date, when Venus and Mars met at the last degree of Pisces. Letting our hearts call the shots is growing more and more into our natural way of proceeding. Now that we are more comfortable with this way of being, we get to revisit what we were doing while this skill was being instilled.

With this second look, practicalities are popping out that weren’t obvious or sufficiently noticed the first time. Costs are coming out of the woodwork. Differences in expectations or assumptions are surfacing. People are discovering gaping holes in background information that could affect how much they want to invest in financial deals or relationships. Don’t balk, and don’t rush. This process benefits everyone. Saturn is idling the car in the driveway while Mercury goes back for a last look around. Take the time between now and the end of the month (when Mercury goes direct and Saturn gets going) to investigate and get a clearer, more earthbound picture of what you are putting together. If you learn that something on your action plan has a requirement (and price tag) that you hadn’t factored in, don’t complain about them or blame the person who brought them to your attention. Research them, learn about them, and rethink whether you want to go through with action item. Is your heart in it or not? The answer to that question will make other details fall into place. Every revelation is an invitation to prepare more consciously for the future. Tidbits that are turning up now reveal a lot about true value. Pay attention to them. Use Mercury’s return to Taurus to ruminate. No gulping, please.

If you begin doubting this week what it is that you really want, return to your first thoughts of this Monday morning. They embody your concrete goals and your bottom line, courtesy of the Sun’s conjunction with Mercury near the end of Taurus just after 6 AM EDT.

Expect to do some clearing of the path toward those goals in the first half of the week. The first bit may be more reactive than active. The air has been thick lately with insights into (and liberation from) the internal wiring that has been holding you back. They heighten into the sense of entering a new phase at last, when the ongoing growth aspect between Jupiter and Uranus becomes exact Tuesday mid-morning EDT. A light may go on; a lock that has held you in place may clank open; an unseen hand may shove you through a door. By Saturday, Jupiter exactly conjoins Neptune, font of compassion and spiritual wisdom, and Chiron, whose wound becomes his vehicle for healing. Tune your internal guidance system to the heavens and leave any definition of yourself as damaged behind. Do this even – especially – if your awareness mushrooms of your lifelong wounds. So what if you believe you can’t rewrite the past? You don’t have to keep living in it, and you can rewrite the role it plays in your current life. Which is taking place now. Not when you were four; not when you were in sixth grade; now.

Mercury pushes Neptune into delivering new definitions of yourself and more shortly before dawn EDT Wednesday morning. Spread them, share them and let them grow and grow as evening builds into night and Mercury squares Jupiter right before midnight EDT. Inspiration, brainstorming, writing and downloads from spirit run high all day, they’ll be more focused and intense late in the evening, when Mercury faces Pluto down by declination and channels conversations (in your head and with the outside world) into a narrow, deep groove. These aspects are ripe for encountering lies, deceptions and confusion; be on the lookout for evidence of ones that slipped by you when Mercury crossed this territory a few weeks ago. And return to your thoughts of early morning Monday. Who can you tell about your goals? What mental steps can you take toward them? How can you involve your circle of friends and your community in your goals? What do you have to change? These questions play out in your dreams Wednesday and Thursday mornings, so think about them when you wake and take notes. Thursday’s especially hold a key, because Mercury is making an opportunity aspect to Uranus at quarter to three EDT. A “Eureka!” moment is on the schedule, whether it makes you bolt upright or not. You have a couple of days to wrap your brain around it. Around dawn Sunday morning EDT, Mercury and Mars will inspire assertive, self-promoting communications and back your talk up with action.

While Mercury is holding these varied conferences, the Sun moves into the messenger’s Gemini home on Wednesday. Mercury may have gone down to earth for the time being, but we gain access to the flexibility and playfulness of Gemini as well. Let your mind and feet venture from their usual turf. Gather information like magpies; what looks like trivia now could be very useful in a few months. The week ends with a new phase in thinking and communications, when this month’s New Moon takes place amid the gentle breezes of Gemini Sunday morning. Our mental processes are in for adjustment. They, too, are adapting to the guiding role that our hearts are now playing. The ground rules of life have changed. They are no longer the ones that molded (and limited) us while we were growing up, and they aren’t even the ones we were living under last year. Our hearts are writing new ground rules. Our will has already fallen happily in with them. Now our thoughts and words are getting with the program. For more on the New Moon, read my report on the site.
