I very much appreciate receiving your comments... thankyou. In order to answer your personal questions it is necessary for me to do an indepth look at your individual chart. So, if you have any questions you would like answered about your own chart, I welcome you to book an appointment for a personal consultation.

The Moon conjuncts the Sun as both are entering Gemini on the 20th to create the New Moon. This is not just a New Moon, however, but a Solar Eclipse, a phenomenon that occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth are in alignment. In this case it is an annular Eclipse an eclipse of the sun in which the moon does not cover the entire disc of the sun, so that a ring of sunlight surrounds the shadow of the moon. Eclipses tend to pack more of a punch than a regular New or Full Moon and this one is happening just a month before the first in a series of seven exact squares between Uranus and Pluto, the influence of which can already be seen in the upheaval, revolution, rebellion and disruption that is occurring in so many ways all over the world. This Eclipse takes place just 5 days after Venus has turned retrograde, so it is a time for serious re-evaluation. As this Solar Eclipse squares Neptune in Pisces it seems that we are being challenged to see past the illusions and lies to find the spiritual truth of the oneness of all creation. Gemini is an air sign, so is concerned with intellectual concepts and our minds always want to make distinctions, to divide things up into manageable pieces, unable to grasp the unified nature of the universe. Our belief in separation is what creates the 'us against them' mentality which makes us feel separate from nature and from each other, individually and collectively, leading to all the wars that are constantly being waged. As Venus retrogrades we need to focus on ideas that can lead to peace and harmony rather than war.

Your planetary ruler, Mars, is still in Virgo opposing Chiron in Pisces, trining Pluto in Capricorn and semi-squaring Saturn in your opposite sign, Libra, during this Gemini Solar Eclipse so there is the potential for deep healing if you are able to act with maturity and take responsibility for your actions. The Eclipse is in Gemini and Venus has just turned retrograde in that sign, so it is a time for deep thinking and serious re-evaluation. As Mercury conjuncts Jupiter in Taurus now both are aspecting Saturn and you need to reassess your values and the relative value of all the relationships, people and things in your life.

Mercury conjuncts Jupiter in your sign this week, aspecting both retrograde Venus in Gemini and retrograde Saturn in Libra, so it is a time for serious thought about your philosophical beliefs and world view and thoughtful re-evaluation of all aspects of your life. Venus is your planetary ruler and retrogrades least often of all the planets which makes this retrograde phase particularly significant. Your sign is often very concerned with material security but now is a time to give deep consideration to your values and the relative value of all relationships, people and things in your life. Any important decisions should be delayed until after the end of June if possible.

This is an especially important time for you it seems as the Solar Eclipse is in your sign just after Venus has begun her rare retrograde phase there. From now until the end of June is a period of reflection and deep introspection for you. Your planetary ruler, Mercury, is conjunct Jupiter in Taurus this week which indicates that you will want to explore your inner landscape, take some time and meditate or use other techniques to help you to access your subconscious beliefs and hidden wisdom... the answers you seek are within. This is generally true for all of us, but right now you are able to realize the truth of that.

You may feel a need to retreat or find some quiet time to meditate or just sleep this week as there is so much intense energy during the Gemini Solar Eclipse on the 20th. Venus is retrograde in Gemini now and is trining retrograde Saturn in Libra which may bring up memories from you past and make you more aware of habitual behaviour patterns that were conditioned early in your life. Between now and the end of June is a time for serious re-evaluation as you reassess the relative value of all the relationships, people and things in your life. Pay attention to your intuition now. There is the potential for deep healing and growth.

Serious discussions with friends or groups now could help you to make some necessary adjustments in your thinking so that you are able to see the bigger picture in terms of your career and life directions. As your planetary ruler, the Sun, is eclipsed by the Moon at this Gemini Solar Eclipse on the 20th the square to Neptune suggests that some illusions may be shattered but that can allow you to see things more clearly. Mars in Virgo is still opposing Chiron in Pisces and both aspect Saturn in Libra indicating a need to seriously consider your financial situation and also to address issues of self-worth. There is great potential for growth, learning and healing now.

Mars is still in your sign and still opposing Chiron in Pisces as both aspect Saturn in Libra this week so situations may arise which draw your attention to issues concerning money, possessions or self-worth and you have the potential for some growth, learning, wisdom and healing. The Solar Eclipse in Gemini is squaring Neptune in your opposite sign, Pisces, suggesting that you are being challenged to break free of your fears about what others think of you which may be keeping you from achieving your goals and fulfilling your potential. Your planetary ruler, Mercury, is conjunct Jupiter in Taurus and their aspect with Saturn indicates that you may be ready to adjust your beliefs about yourself and your own value.

Saturn is in still retrograde in your sign and as your planetary ruler, Venus, stationed retrograde on the 15th, she was trining Saturn and this suggests that you have an opportunity between now and the end of June to gain some deep insights and wisdom. This Venus-Saturn trine is still in effect during the Gemini Solar Eclipse on the 20th further highlighting the significance of this period. The square between the Eclipse and Neptune in Pisces suggests that it is time to release fearful beliefs that have kept you stuck and to change your ideas about what is 'real' and 'true'... just because you believe it, doesn't make it true.

Yours is one of the Fixed signs and as the term suggests that means that you can be somewhat stubborn and have a difficult time with change. You also like to feel as if you are in control and have lessons to learn about what power is all about. The aspect patterns this week suggest that the act of letting go, of surrendering to what is can bring deep awareness, growth and healing now. Friends and groups can help you in this process and your partner or others can help you to see things from a new perspective and realize the subconscious fears that may be blocking you from seeing how valued you are and receiving the love that is offered to you.

There is so much happening in your opposite sign, Gemini, with Venus having just turned retrograde there and the Solar Eclipse there on the 20th all of which suggests that there is a strong focus for you on your partnership or relationship issues generally. In addition to all that, the planetary ruler of Gemini, Mercury, is conjunct your planetary ruler, Jupiter, during this Eclipse so it seems you can expand your awareness and perceptions now about what you want and need in relationships and also how your relationships with others affects your health and sense of well-being. There is the potential now for growth, learning and healing as you seem ready now to let go of old emotional baggage.

As Venus turned retrograde in Gemini on the 15th she was exactly trining your planetary ruler, Saturn, which is also retrograde and in Venus' sign, Libra, so the two continue this trine for the next week or so. This suggests that you have the opportunity now to seriously re-evaluate your career goals and the value of your contribution to the world. With the Solar Eclipse in Gemini this week it is a good time to focus on your work and health and how your attitude to your work can affect your sense of well-being. If you have doubts about your worth or that you are loved, the current alignment indicates the potential for a powerful shift in awareness leading to growth, learning and healing.

Mercury and Jupiter are conjunct in Taurus at this Gemini Solar Eclipse and they are aspecting your planetary ruler, Uranus, in Aries as well as Pluto in Capricorn as those two planets approach their exact square so it seems that you are being challenged to break through old subconscious patterns by perceiving things in a whole new way, expanding your awareness by examining the beliefs on which you have built your current 'reality'. There is the potential now for incredible healing if you are able to go through the process of re- evaluation between now and the end of June, particularly letting go of the false beliefs that keep you from seeing your own worth.

Mars is still in your opposite sign Virgo and still opposing Chiron in your sign this week as both aspect Pluto in Capricorn, so there is a powerful potential for awareness, growth and healing now especially if you see what an integral part you are in your community and the world as a whole. The Solar Eclipse in Gemini may bring up memories from the past or issues related to a parent or your family and as the Eclipse is squaring your planetary ruler, Neptune, in your sign it seems that this is the time to let go of the shadows of the past in order to grow and heal. As Venus retrogrades in Gemini until the end of June more memories may surface, giving you an opportunity to re-evaluate and reassess.
