Gemini Gemini
March 12 ~ March 26
Your ruler Mercury engages in a retrograde tour three to four times a year, we have all lived through plenty of these cycles and have a feel for what they can produce. The setbacks can be frustrating, even annoying, but there are always pearls waiting to be discovered within the reversal. This often occurs because we have overlooked something or it may also be a reminder to move with fewer balls in the air. Because of your love for variety and diversity, you can be easily distracted and miss something that is right in front of you. Mercury stations retrograde in Aries, the sign of new beginnings, on Saturday, March 15, while joined with Venus retrograde. This is a rare and special union. Venus is here to show you how much better life can feel when you make choices that better support your true nature and your timeless values. A Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo on March 13/14 is going to reveal what needs your undivided attention, and very likely it will be something close to home. A friend recently left me a message while sitting on her horse up on a grassy knoll that she was being let go in her corporate job. I cannot think of two antithetical realities. The horse or the desk. Her horse would be the obvious message calling her home, one that represents an evolving future in her work with animals. Sometimes we have to be forced out of something we have outgrown before we embrace in full what has been waiting for us all along. Fear keeps us strapped, but eclipses can remind us to “Lean into life with a heart that is more disarmed. For it is not the circum-stances in Life we fear but our feelings about them. As we learn that even the hardest feelings yield extraordinary gifts when we stay with them with patience and presence” (Chelan Harkin). Uranus in Taurus is divinely aligned with the Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo, to offer you more objectivity within these changing tides, so you can make a clear and confident decision about what is truly best for your future. Venus and Mercury in Aries are fueling you with a new fire of desire, one that is free of the past, yet they will both retrograde back into Pisces for a healing review. (Venus retrogrades back into Pisces on March 27; Mercury retrogrades backs into Pisces on March 29). This is no time to think, but a time to feel into what choices will lead you more deeply into your evolutionary journey.
Out of the current chaos, you can create magic!
