The Sun is all about where you SHINE! The Sun in Taurus is trine (easy and effortless energy) your 5th house of pleasurable activities, dating, love affairs, playtime/acting, sensual emotions, lovers, parenthood and sexuality, creativity, artistic pursuits, hobbies, recreation, procreation, children. It also includes leisure, games, sports, self-fulfillment, joy and bliss.

With the Sun moving through your 5th house of fun and play, your best option is to remain true to yourself and to just be yourself. It just does not get better than that. You may feel like doing something crazy and rebellious right now. You do not have to break any rules, law or regulations in order to have fun. Again - just be yourself and you could attract more dates than you have time to deal with.

If you can find the time to take a mini-vacation or a full-length vacation, you will more than likely have a ton of fun. Find your way to a sporting event, amusement park and if you feel like asking that special person out on a date, then go for it. Since this is the house of dating, it is a great time to begin dating your romantic partner again. If you are single, a new romance may develop. Scroll down to read your Mercury Opportunity.

VENUS OPPORTUNITY
April 3, 2012 at 11:18 AM EDT until
August 7, 2012 at 9:43 AM EDT

Venus is all about LOVE and BEAUTY! Venus in Gemini is moving through your 6th house of daily life, health, hygiene, food, work, employees, service, skills, servants, small animals, clothing and sickness.

The 6th house is of course situated between the 5th house of dating and intimacy, and the 7th house of relationships and marriages. The 6th house is about work and work ethic; therefore, your Love is more focused on work and "working out" differences in your daily Life rather than putting these differences on the back burner. Seek to "work out" differences between yourself and those you work with closely. This is a time to openly discuss obligations and details with regard to work.

You may be more concerned about rules and obligations than usual. If you are holding others to rules and obligations, then you must also meet them as well. In other words, whatever measuring stick you are holding up to others, must also be held up to you. Refrain from overindulging in alcohol or food and you will find that your health improves greatly.

When Venus is in Gemini, you should be asking for a discount no matter where you go. Just ask! Gemini is the sales person of the zodiac. Gemini is the flirt of the zodiac. And Gemini is the great communicator of the zodiac. Venus brings about Divine Protection and juicy Lovin' on the sign involved. Venus will remain in Gemini until August 7, 2012. That's a lot of Lovin' on flirty, fiesty and flighty Gemini. Knowing full well Venus was in the process of making her move into Gemini, I decided to go ahead and play the Venus in Gemini card in three completely different circumstances. I asked for a discount and got it all three times. I thought my Scorpion King was going to fall over when he saw this astrology work for me. I told him, "Watch and learn baby." We pulled into Auto Zone and we walked in separately. I grabbed the oil and oil filter that he needed. While he shopped and listened to me in action, I went to the counter and kindly asked the nice man for a discount. He looked at me, smiled and said, "Well we normally don't discount on the oil because it's maintenance but I think I can do something here. How about 15 percent?" Being the Gemini that I am, with a charming Gemini flirty smile I said, "That would be great! I really appreciate it." Geez, I didn't even need to use my wink with my smile . . but I did.

Venus is in Gemini until August 7, 2012. Now this is quite a long time for Venus, the planet of Love and beauty because Venus typically stays in a sign for about a month and then moves on to the next sign. Now folks, it is really important to understand how this Venus in Gemini energy works and this understanding is what will keep you out of trouble because Venus in Gemini is 'fickle love' and Venus in Gemini is going to affect us all in some way. Venus in Gemini is even more fickle love when it is afflicted by a hard aspect (a square, opposition, etc.) Watch for these squares, oppositions, etc., as I make additions and changes to this particular writing over the next several months.

Now folks, it is really important to understand how this Venus in Gemini energy works and this understanding is what will keep you out of trouble because Venus in Gemini is 'fickle love' and Venus in Gemini is going to affect us all in some way. Venus in Gemini is even more fickle love when it is afflicted by a hard aspect (a square, opposition, etc.) Watch for these squares, oppositions, etc., as I make additions and changes to this particular writing over the next several months.

Venus in Gemini is not really motivated to settle down. This Venus in Gemini energy likes to 'date around' and it extremely difficult to make a relationship, permanent. Venus in Gemini basically says, "Variety is the spice of Life." The sign of Gemini is known for having two of everything including two Loves and when you throw Venus in Gemini into the mix, then two Loves is a necessity. In fact, I expect a lot of people may feel like back-pedalling in their relationship and may not feel all that excited to 'settle down'. There will likely be phrases such as, "Can't we just be friends?" and "I Love you, I'm just not in Love with you." Now as a Gemini, I'm old enough now to admit to myself and the world that this is definitely the case. While Gemini may be in Love, they also have a Love in their back pocket just in case the other Love doesn't work out. The fix for this is to have a career or hobby that you most certainly would not give up for a romantic Love. In this way the Gemini can have their cake and eat it too. So I have my Scorpion King who I Love and I have this website, which I Love. I wouldn't give up this website to make room for another man and keep him in my back pocket just in case. Forget that! My insatiable and unquenchable desire for two Loves finally got satisfied. So the Gemini mistake is making the two Loves 'of the same' instead of 'entirely two different things'. Get it?

Venus in Gemini is much like Venus in Aquarius who often says, "Can't we just be friends?" Those with Venus in Aquarius or Venus in Gemini should probably not even get married. In fact, I will just go out on a limb and say 70 percent of those with Venus in Gemini or Venus in Aquarius have absolutely no business being married. This does not mean that Venus in Gemini or Venus in Aquarius can't be devoted individuals because they can be, they just need an enormous amount of personal freedom and the kind of freedom they need isn't what a normal person can give them. I'd say that the Sex in the City character, Samantha had Venus in Gemini. Someone with Venus in Gemini or Venus in Aquarius in their natal chart is spending a helluva lot of time chasing pleasure. In fact, when it comes to a value system concerning romance, intimacy, dating, marriage and Love; Venus in Gemini is pretty dang superficial.

Venus will go through its Retrograde period from May 15, 2012 until June 27, 2012. During that Retrograde period you absolutely do not want to mess with your looks by getting a full make over or even plastic surgery during that time. No one should EVER change their appearance too much or even drastically during Venus Retrograde. Also, here is the heads up on relationships, Venus Retrograde is not the time to set wedding dates, get engaged or even get married or you will be rehashing all of the problems you didn't settle and work out. Venus Retrograde will be the time to iron out differences and correct what is already present such as taking better care of yourself and your relationship.

MARS OPPORTUNITY
November 11, 2011 at 12:16 AM EST until
July 3, 2012 at 7:31 AM EDT

Information regarding Mars Retrograde from January 23, 2012 until April 13, 2012 is in your Weekly Horoscope.

Mars is all about AGGRESSION and DRIVE! Mars in Virgo is trine (easy and effortless energy) your 9th house of the higher-thinking mind, religion, college, higher education, brothers and sisters-in-law, philosophy, prophecy, philanthropy, all things "foreign", intuition, long distance journeys abroad, churches, airlines, vacations, international commerce, dreams, visions and teachers.

Check out the Mars Moving Through the Signs Calendar. Dates are listed from 1920 up until 2015.

Mars moves into Virgo for an unusually long transit of nearly 8 months. That's quite a long time. Mars typically stays in a sign for about 1-1/2 months, so you can see 8 months is out of the ordinary. Now the reason for this is Mars will turn Retrograde in Virgo on January 24, 2012 and then turn Direct on April 14, 2012 moving along again picking up speed but for now, it's a slow poke. The Good news is Mars in Virgo (earth sign) will form a trine with Pluto in Capricorn (earth sign) and Jupiter in Taurus (earth sign) forming a Grand Trine.

This trine in the earth signs will impact the earth signs (Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo's) 1st, 5th and 9th houses. The short answer for these houses involves your approach on Life, your creativity and pleasure and new experiences, adventure and possibly travel. Keep in mind the keyword here is new 'experiences'. Your skeptical, analytical or stubborn nature could keep you from manifesting what you want as you play "what if it doesn't happen". You need to be more focused on "what if it does happen." They key to manifesting is believing and seeing that it will happen. If your "what if it doesn't" outweighs your "what if it does" then thy will (your will) be done. Remember, new experiences, watch for them. This Grand Trine between Mars, Jupiter and Pluto will last until Saturday, November 26, 2011.

After November 26, 2011 you may find yourself jumping into a few hot philosophical, religious or spiritual debates during this time. Mars is the most aggressive planet moving through the house of broader perspectives; therefore, you are more apt to defend your own broad perspectives and explore new perspectives. This creates an idealistic and belief centered attitude. Practice living in your current belief systems and take note to see if what you profess to believe is truly what you believe. Mars is forceful energy and you may have a tendency to force your perspectives on others. Use this energy to explore yourself deeper before trying to force others to believe you. There is also an aggressive approach to travel and you may end up pulling a few strings or making it a point to arrange your lifestyle so that you can make travel plans.

CHIRON OPPORTUNITY

April 17, 2018 at 4:10 AM EDT

Chiron is all about discovering your WOUNDED HEALTH WITHIN! For all Capricorn's, this involves your 3rd house of communication, mental abilities, basic education (grades 1 - 12), siblings, neighbors and transportation. Chiron is an asteroid and is called, the wounded healer. Chiron, the Wounded Healer, represents our emotional and physical wounds. It reveals a part of us that is hurt, small and vulnerable. Chiron encourages us to heal our wounds, and then look beyond personal realms, to see the suffering of others, and to become teachers and healers. The house that Chiron occupies in your Natal Chart is where these characteristics will manifest the most.

There is a thought that we create our own suffering because we continue to cling to material possessions, behaviors, beliefs and ideas that we need to release in order to move to our higher-self. Ahhhhhh . . read that sentence again for a deeper impact. Wherever you find Chiron in your Natal Chart, it represents where you suffer and how you can release your own suffering to move forward in Life.
