Full Moon today (4th) is in Gemini and opposes Venus/Sagittarius. As the Sun and Mars go ahead of her in Sagittarius to prepare the ground for more ambitious developments or schemes, which can’t be yet instigated, Moon/Gemini (a cold moon) divides opinion and sorts the sides, still sorting through Mercury/Scorpio’s research into newly emerging facts.
Lots of retrogrades in the larger planets, as well as the normally busy Mercury in Scorpio. Today (22nd) the Sun enters Sagittarius (as the Moon leaves the sign for Capricorn) and shines a better light on all that Mars has pursued for the last two weeks. Mercury/Scorpio continues to move backwards but conjuncts Venus direct on Monday and trines Saturn/Pisces. Mercury moves forward again by Saturday 29th. Stability comes to fluctuating or elusive communications and connectivity, and gradually gains momentum. Jupiter/Cancer has done a much needed revision of matters close to home or integral to better human relations since June, but rests now while making a wide association with Saturn’s backroom appraisal of proposals, where the best results require Jupiter’s second innings from March 26.
In many ways, in many issues, in various concerns, it’s a waiting game!
Mercury is retrograde until the end of the month in Sagittarius and Scorpio .. Jupiter following suit tomorrow in Cancer. Exaggerations, fabrications and long-shots exposed, or debunked pending deeper looks and adjustments in the last ten days of November, Traction built between mid November and next March is valuable and some acceleration via short-cuts from existing connections.
The grand trine today (27th) in water - Jupiter, Mercury & Saturn - calls for patience while retrieving what has been stuck, lost or stolen. The chances of discovery, reimbursement or upgraded replacement is high. Sun/Scorpio in easy asspct to Moon/Capricorn early in the day brings much needed security or authority to issues which have been woefully neglected or subject to ineptitude, and fixes firmer resolutions. But some access points demand geater scrutiny or tighter control to avoid loose elements from breaking the momentum going forward.
Those old associates - or intimates - whom one thought were around forever! Those familiar and much loved or admired faces … all revealing another side, another mask, another veneer. Or those people we thought of as not worthy of our time, or not sympatico with our own vibe … proving to be just that; and if not the exact opposite, then something far removed from the original.
Uranus rules Aquarius, and is a higher octave of Mercury - ruler of Gemini. So it makes perfect sense, astrologically, to re-evaluate the former opinion. Uranus loves nothing better than to surprise by revelation, or sudden turn of events. The period of come-back-all-I-said and well-I-never is truly upon us.
In August last, the gaps and tears and shifting of previously solid foundations began to appear. The inexplicable endings to things which looked set in stone, as Uranus seized Gemini, but loosely, and now the jury is out on those estrangements, those irreparable rifts in understanding. Those incomprehensible parting of the ways.
The time to choose teams, or pledge allegiances. Or the termination of the same, in some places, is unavoidable. In personal and transpersonal, and private and collegiate situations. When Uranus retrogrades back into Taurus in November 25 there may be attempts at re-forging, or attempts to recoup or recover lost and shaky ground. But not until February 26 will it be apparent which of it is irreversibly successful. By mid May, when Uranus enters finally into Gemini and grips for the next seven years, the sides have to be chosen. The bridging of ravines in time, territory and loyalty.
The last time Uranus transited Gemini was September of 1941 to June of 1949. Though it’s said that history never repeats itself exactly. Uranus loves to stretch back and move forward - it rules both the ancient and the new, and is no great believer in chronological time-scale.
Reversals and juxta-positioning, through Uranus the transformer and disrupter, the magician, and the revolutionary disposer of stability and hierarchy! And Gemini the flyer of high ideas and the master of quick-change.
