May 20, 2012 at 11:16 AM EDT

The Sun is all about where you SHINE! The Sun in Taurus is moving through your 8th house of the wealth of your spouse or partner, spirituality, insurance, legacies, other people's money, stocks, bonds, taxes, inheritances, wills, surgeries and astral experiences. It is the house of regeneration, and covers death, sex, legal matters and metaphysics.

The 8th house can be likened to the house that is searching for its soul. This is a Good time for you to admit where you have sold your soul and where to find your soul. In other words, accept the past and use what you have learned to transform your Life into something absolutely wonderful. This is about finding the real you and where you stand.

This is the house of "the spouse's money" and "other people's money," so you may have a tendency to worry about these sources of money right now. The easiest way to handle this is to let go of limiting beliefs and behaviors that are too old to work for where you would like to be in your Life. There may be someone who will impact you in a positive way that can literally change your Life for the better. Keep your eyes and ears peeled. 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 trine (easy and effortless) your 9th house of higher-thinking, higher-education beyond 12th grade, religion, philosophy, foreigners and foreign travel.

You may be drawn to art, literature and religion during this time. Venus is very expressive in a higher form and this may impact you as "unconditional Love." When Venus moves through the 9th house there is a draw toward higher forms of knowledge. Your experiences may migrate toward things you have never connected with before such as foreigners; foreign travel, cultures beyond your own and religious thought that you have previously ignored.

Intense philosophical and psychological thought comes to mind when the 9th house is impacted in this way. If you can sign up for a class, workshop or lecture during this time it will serve you greatly. Even if the class takes place after August 7th, signing up for it while Venus is in this placement will make learning easier because you will still be under the influence of Venus.

If you are single and romance comes to you during this time, there is a VERY Good chance that this person could be from a foreign country or a culture that is unfamiliar to you. Again, you may meet them during this time and couple-up after August 7th. Either way, Venus dealt the connection. You may receive an opportunity to travel abroad during this time.

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 moving through your 12th house of the hidden realm, subconscious, past, pain, karma, jails, institutions, hospitals, finances of friends, secret sorrows, fears, self-destruction, large animals, skeletons in closet, self-undoing and self-injury. It is about your hidden strengths, weaknesses and what you don't want others to see or know about you, unredeemed karma and selfless service to humanity. Refrain from letting this house frighten you because it is necessary that you look at your own self-undoing in order to keep yourself on the straight path.

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 air signs (Aquarius, Gemini and Libra's) 4th, 8th and 12th houses. The short answer for these houses involves your home life or real estate, other people's money and resources and activity behind the scenes that may involve money. Not to worry Libra, the financial picture here favors you. It is quite possible you may be receiving some very welcomed news, money or relief. This Grand Trine between Mars, Jupiter and Pluto will last until Saturday, November 26, 2011.

After November 26, 2011 whatever you have tucked away in your subconscious mind may come to the surface so that your conscious mind can deal with it. It's a Good thing when old stuff resurfaces so that it can be cleared and you can move on with your Life. When the hidden realm reveals things from your past, do your best to deal with it even if it means owning up to it. That was then, this is now. I prefer to call the 12th house, "the character building house" because it is here where you will learn and grow the most. If you find yourself being held back because of your past actions, then do your best to gut through it. The 12th house is the area of self-undoing. Now that you know this, you can choose to clear it instead of letting these old patterns undo you. Scroll down to read your Chiron Opportunity.

CHIRON OPPORTUNITY
February 8, 2011 at 3:57 PM EDT until
April 17, 2018 at 4:10 AM EDT

Chiron is all about discovering your WOUNDED HEALTH WITHIN! For all Libra's, this involves your natural ruling 6th house of health, hygiene, fitness, nutrition, food, clothing, all 'daily' activities, co-workers, employees and your daily work ethic. 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.
