How
to Treat your Gemini |
|
|
Like
all Air signs, your Mercurial man or maiden thrives on information.
Emotional matters may be viewed philosophically, logically or with
refreshing humor. You won't find him sulking in a corner...
everything must be discussed... hiding won't do! Your Gemini is
especially attuned with friendship, and may seek many viewpoints and
opinions from a multitude of acquaintances. He can bend with the wind
- so do have patience.
You
may be confused at times when your Gemini changes her mind, makes
multiple plans or takes off suddenly. Gemini wants to befriend nearly
everyone, and may sometimes even tell a little white lie in order to
maintain good feelings. So, here are some pointers for keeping your sanity...
Feed
your Gemini with the joy of your laughter. Talk to your Gemini - be
open. Pull him back to you when he strays to other friends. Call him
on his tiny little deceptions. Allow your Gemini to have other
friendships, within reason. Be amazed and in awe of his knowledge!
Enjoy the fun and friendship your Gemini has to offer. Treat her with
genuine love and respect. Take joy in her wit and spare-of-the-moment
activities. You will be richly rewarded with the fruits of her mental
musings, fun times, delicious humor, silliness and true, true friendship.

How
to Treat your Cancer |
|
|
|
Your
Cancer man or maiden is an especially kind and nurturing soul.
Cancers are observant and empathetic. Just as the Moon fills with
light from the Sun, your oceanic Cancer absorbs energy from those
around her, deeply feeling their needs and desires. Your Cancer, like
a warm mama, loves to fulfill you and make you comfortable. Home,
food, garden, nursery, work - all become the loving charge of
Cancer's love and care.
Sometimes
your Cancer becomes overwhelmed with concern for others, and needs
to take refuge in a protective shell to be shielded from negative
influences. You may find your Cancer either hiding out or complaining
sadly. It's just that he is filled to the brim with external woes,
and just can't please everyone. Such a frustration!
For
Cancer, the Moon who rules over his heart waxes and wanes, grows
full with wild lunatic ravings and joy, and shrinks into that dark
place where brooding and sulking can set in. Emotions are inconstant,
but so entertaining for the lucky one who has a Cancer for a friend
or partner!
The
Cancer needs to feel needed. Don't hesitate to ask your Cancer for
help, even if she seems downhearted. It makes her feel alive. Be sure
to confide your deepest feelings and desires to your Cancer. It gives
him the opportunity to be more a part of you, and strive to fulfill
your happiness.
Feed
your Cancer with a well stocked kitchen, room for a garden, pets,
cozy decor and children. Take your Cancer to the water or ocean
often. Allow your Cancer opportunities to use the deep imagination
and creativity within. Be kind and patient when the Moon wreaks havoc
on his moods. Make sure your Cancer has privacy when needed, and
feels safe and protected. Screen his calls! Make sure her locks are
secure! You will be rewarded with joyful, shining moonbeam smiles,
and loving comforts of home to rival the most dotingf mothers!

The
Chariot in the Tarot |

The
Chariot is associated with the Sign Cancer in the Tarot
~
Control ~
Look
at him go! He's rounding the corner with ease! Has he won the race?
Or is he just beginning, or maybe in the middle of it? This card
often signifies a triumph - but no contest is ever completely won. We
are constantly moving forward - there is always another goal up ahead.
The
horses pulling the Chariot, one black and one white, are wild,
instinctive animals. Harnessed by the skillful hand of a charioteer,
their accuracy is dependent upon his poise, confidence, intelligence
and strength.
As
you go through the motions of life, you may sometimes ask yourself -
who's driving this vessel? Is it the conscious me, is it these crazy
feelings coursing through me, or could it be the untamed forces of my
subconscious? Am I leading the way, or am I being led? Do I have the
ultimate say in my destiny? Where am I headed, anyway??!!!
It
follows that this card is all about Control - over the extremes of
dark and light within your soul, over base emotional reactions, and
over others who might entice you away from your true path.
The
symbolism in the Chariot is deceptively simple - the Charioteer is
the mind and the higher self, the horses are the instincts and
emotions, and the Chariot itself is the body - your vessel. Are you
truly in charge of where you're going?
There
is a delicate balance going on here. Obviously, the driver needs his
horses to get him where he wants to go - but if he lets go of the
reins or loses concentration, they could take him someplace
unfamiliar, or even unpleasant.
On
another level, sometimes this card means that things are moving
along, or someone or something is coming your way. If such is the
case, enjoy the moment - and don't forget to give those wild horses a reward!
You
may sometimes experience the fantastic feeling that you have won -
and the Chariot may indeed be an indication of some triumph in your
life - but until the horses rest completely or the chariot breaks
down, some measure of control over your life will always be required.

The
Outer Planets - Chiron, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and the Lunar Nodes
~^.

Uranus
in Pisces! ... Uranus will stay in the Sign of the Fish 'til
2011! Spiritual Revolution you say?? Yes, that would describe it
well. What can we expect with Uranus in Pisces? Perhaps our ideas
about death, sacrifice, the fantastic and impossible, transcendence
and service to humanity will take some dramatic and innovative turns.
We can hope that humanitarianism will take on new meaning and
purpose, and that service to others may become a more integral part
of our social order. With this placement, Uranus can become quite
reclusive or fanatical. Scientists who may have been hiding out for
years in research can bring new and surprising inventions and
discoveries into our midst, and Political Messiahs may come out of
the woodwork. With Uranus and Neptune in mutual reception - they will
rely upon each other more than usual, and herald perhaps a renewed
and revolutionary (Uranus) vision for humanity (Neptune) The cost may
be a certain amount of turmoil and confusion regarding just where we
are going for humanity, and will probably not be without conflict.
Neptune
in Aquarius (til 2012) is helping to set our expressions of love
and creativity into positive, innovative motion. A change in the
prevailing style in movies, fashion and art will be seen in the
months and years to come - probably bringing much more in the realm
of the unusual, shocking, rebellious, and inter-cultural.
Pluto
is on the Sagittarius/Capricorn cusp through the end of 2008,
bringing a new Plutonian era of change in our social institutions,
government and power structures. The very fabric of society may begin
to be re-woven - these are exciting times!! With Pluto first entering
Capricorn accompanied by Venus and Jupiter, we may indeed feel
blessed with good fortune, harmony and high ideals!
The
powerful Neptune/Pluto septile, exact on Dec 1, 2006 and Feb.
21, 2007 will last (going in and out of close orb) into 2011! For
those of us who are very creative, tremendous inspiration can bring
influential, explosive, mind-blowing creations. In love - the
potential for making inspired changes is heightened - yet there also
exists the possibility of getting lost in confusion. Avoid falling
into a pit of despair, or indulging in self-destructive activities.
Getting nowhere fast? Look for Creative and Healthy, Inspired, Loving
outlets to save your skin! Get involved in helping others.... this is
especially important now! Neptune/Pluto can bring a fanaticism wthat
has not been seen since the last such aspect at the beginning of
WWII. Yet - this aspect is also very positive for creating lasting,
humanitarian changes throughout the world.
The
North and South Nodes are now on the Aquarius/Leo axis ('til
8/21/09). This node placement brings positive connections based on
love for humanity and the quest for social equality, along with
healing in the area of self-love and love for loyalty's sake. This is
a good time to examine our motives, use our egos wisely, and take the
high road - or face karmic consequences!
Chiron
in Aquarius... This archetype of human compassion will be
passing nonstop through Aquarius from January 06 til Feb. 2011,
bringing a period of higher inspiration in the realm of healing. We
may look forward to greater cooperation worldwide in the healing
sciences, and perhaps going back to tradition - those time honored
ways that our ancestors enjoyed and practiced in harmony with nature.
Perhaps we may find more and more "health" foods (ie
unaltered and unprocessed) on our grocery shelves, greater acceptance
of mind-body healing approaches, and some brave new ideas to surface, too.

Mewsings
from Venus & Mars... June 2008 |
|
 |
|
Mars
in Leo all month is bold, confident, brave, fun loving and
protective of loved ones and family. This Mars goes well with Venus
in Gemini (until 6/18), and the combination is sure to bring a
light-hearted feeling to couples. Masculine energy may be somewhat
unyielding and perhaps domineering, while feminine energy can be more
flexible, or perhaps even fickle. Capitalize on enjoying each moment
as it comes, and not taking things too seriously. Avoid gossip!
Venus
in Cancer until 7/13 is possessive, emotional and ultra
protective. She is more likely to take the lead and get things
moving. With Mars in Leo, nurturing family and providing safe haven
will be a priority. This is a great time to get into family and
community projects.
FUTURE
FORECAST FOR LOVE
During
the first week in June, Venus sextiles Mars and
bi-quintiles Jupiter while Mars bi-quintiles Uranus, bringing
potential for new and exciting relationships to blossom.
The
second week in June, Venus trines Chiron/North Node/Neptune,
quintiles Saturn and squares Uranus, which can bring perhaps
surprising opportunities to heal long-standing problems with
compassion and deeper understanding. Some may feel a very strong need
for closure.
During
the third week, Pluto returns to Sagitarrius by retrograde
(until late Nov. '08), while Mars opposes Chiron/Neptune, & Venus
oposses Pluto & sextiles Saturn. These influences suggest
a need to resolve any issues around honesty in relationships, and may
bring opportunities to make long-lasting changes by taking a deeper
look in the mirror. What you don't see but others do may come
crashing in!
The
last week in June, Venus octiles Mars and Neptune/Chiron
while Jupiter octiles Saturn and Mars bi-quintiles Jupiter, bringing
irritations and annoyances, most likely from authority figures,
teachers and unwanted responsibilities. If you feel trodden upon or
are trodding on others, it will be noticed.

The Big Guys ~
Jupiter
in Capricorn til 1/5/09 will help set the stage for societal
changes, and perhaps help to broaden the horizons of our policy
makers and power brokers. This can be a year of making great leaps
forward, taking chances, and making new ways the status quo.
Saturn
in Virgo 'til July 21, 2010 brings our focus to the things of
the earth.. the cleanliness and purity of our physical environment.
These coming years can bring a stronger sense of purpose and
responsibility within our social institutions, government and
authority figures regarding the sanctity and protection of our mother
earth. A wonderful time this can be!! Let's feel our earth permeating
society, and becoming the central focus for all we do!
