With all the tumult in the heavens over the last several days, you may need to remind yourself that Venus is still doing backstrokes in Gemini and that this process will continue for another 37 days. Love vibrations remain uneasy during the whole time-period when Venus is retrograde. There is more of a one-step forward and two-steps backward experience on the romantic, artistic and social horizons until June 27 comes along and Venus returns to direct motion. One way to understand the phenomenon of retrograding planets is that when any celestial body is moving that way, it is moving in counterpoint to the direction of the Sun and Moon – which always appear to move forward. Therefore, think of Venus right now as more rebellious and also more active in its own sphere – seeking some time and space to reassert its positive dynamism more dramatically later on. Like some of the days last week, today could feel like a battlefield since Mercury makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie to Saturn (5:52AM PDT), the Sun forges a supportive, 60-degree link to Pallas (6:00AM PDT), Mercury also parallels Jupiter (8:39AM PDT) and connects with Pluto via an intense, 135-degree contact (10:47AM PDT), followed by a Vesta-Chiron 60-degree alliance (5:39PM PDT) and Mercury-Jupiter union in Taurus (10:59PM PDT). The Sun-Pallas interaction is a great benefit for problem-solving and conducting strategy-sessions. Vesta in league with Chiron may equate with your tuning into unusual spiritual wavelengths. Mercury is a super-active agent today and that suggests that many changes are going on in the areas of communication and transportation. Delays and frustrations are always par for the course with Mercury at odds with Saturn. Tweak the Mercury-Pluto association into helping you delve into advanced studies in almost any field of knowledge. The highlight of the day happens late tonight during the Mercury-Jupiter conjunction. Open your mind to revelations and write them down in a special notebook for future reflection and implementation.
