Sandra’s Celestial Compass for the week of May 14, 2012

Sacred Messages from the Solar Eclipse in Gemini and Venus Remind You of Inner Longings for Change

A week of power from Pluto plus the Gemini Solar Eclipse May 20 creates a whirlwind of information that is just beginning accelerate. Mercury, ruler of Gemini begins the week with a strong positive angle to Pluto that really emphasizes all manner of communication and anything surrounding it. The communication field is affected and ground work for something major can begin to be put into place. Mars will also align with Pluto midweek to lend strength from these earth sign energies that will help to put meaning to what is said and purpose behind activities. Also this week Venus in Gemini goes into retrograde motion further emphasizing the eclipse energy that last for at least two to three months. Mercury, Mars and Pluto, all in earth signs while the eclipse is in the element air are not exactly compatible but will form grist or challenge that brings out a greater truth or needed information. In your life personally you may feel restless and anxious and want to make a change from the status quo of your life and routine especially with Venus retrograding until the end of June.

Gemini always uproots everything and everyone from the present state with realization of what needs to change that then result in much thought about what to do and when and where to begin change. The God Mercury rules Gemini that is known as the messenger and anytime it is prominent for an individual, a nation and in general something is uprooted. If you have been drifting you no longer want to. If you have been dreaming of something for a long time Venus retrograde in Gemini now allow you to see more clearing your motivations and the reasoning for how you feel now. What was a desire may no longer be so or else may not be in the manner that it has been. Something in your life will either change or be adjusted.

Venus goes retrograde at 10:34 AM in Gemini aligning with the solar eclipse to remind you of what you really want in life. Already, before this time as Venus has been stationary (slow and stilled while it positions to move into retrograde), social dynamics, friendships and romantic alliances have been and are stifled or have a feeling about them of being unsettled. There is an undercurrent of discord that is disruptive and irritation but on the other side of the energy it is showing you where you stand and how you really feel about close connections with others. This retrograde motion lasts until June 27 and is the cycle for coming to terms with all the reasons why you are so aligned with others and where you are attracted. Friendships are up for review as are some life decisions about your current status and lifestyle. You may have a strong desire to return to places in your past and revisit old issues. Reminders of people you have known and things you have done will keep popping up to get your attention. Many things that were important are once again on your mind.

Once in Aries at 5:47 PM the Moon will quicken the pace and prod you to get up early and get moving.
