Mercury in Cancer

It’s True — I Am Crushing On a Girl!

June 18, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Yep. You read that right! I, the openly gay astrologer/tarotist/psychic/kabbalist am totally smitten with a girl. How can this even be possible?

When I first came across her, I didn’t really care for her. Oh, of course, she was cute and sassy (which is always a plus for any red blooded gay man), but a little too gynocentric for me. However, like a fine wine she has become an acquired taste.

So, who is this mesmerizing lady? I am not telling you yet!

On with the forecast…

This weekend starts off pretty well, but declines rather quickly. To begin, we have Venus in Gemini trine Saturn in Libra. Anytime, Saturn is in aspect to a planet it forces the planet to be rather sober and contained, which social Venus has great disdain for. Venus loves pleasure, relationships, money, and luxury – being put on a budget and being restricted from being a social diva is not really an experience she prefers. However, since the aspect is a trine she deals with it rather grudgingly. Sometimes every girl (even Might Aphrodite) needs a break! Venus and Saturn instruct us to play it safe this weekend with our friendships and relationships. Contain emotional reactions, and avoid those that tend towards the dramatic. In addition, if you do spend time socially confine it to deep friendships that are dependable and reliable.

Now the fun begins – not! Mercury, the weather maker of the week comes back again with two prickly aspects. The trickster planet will square Uranus and the on Sunday (Father’s Day) opposes Pluto beginning a rather nasty grand cross (Saturn joins the fun next week). This is a messy combination, which can lead to stress, disagreements, adversarial communications and downright nastiness. Mercury in square to Uranus is a highly reactive aspect that involves Mercury’s quicksilver tongue. This can be especially messy, because of Uranus’ restless and impatient nature. We could easily find ourselves in situations where our impatience may impede our good social graces. Mercury opposition to Pluto, on the other hand, is rather tense and compulsive. Oppositions via their own nature produce conflict, but since Mercury rules communications, arguments and stressful situations are bound to occur. Mercury oppose Pluto tends to see “what is wrong” with everything, rather than “what is right,” which can easily lead us down the dangerous road of obsession. This weekend there is a great need to practice strength and self-control to cope with our difficulties.

Now, back to the fun stuff – you still want to know about the lady I am crushing on? Well, her name is Marie Forleo and she is the webmistress of http://www.marieforleo.com . She has an amazing amount of content on her website (that is gynocentric), but I have come to find her rather refreshing, innovative, and to be frank – amazing! The reason that I have saved my “secret crush” until today is that she has a recent video that can help with the difficult energy of the weekend. It is called, “How to Immediately Stop Stressing Out.” I love her slogan, “everything is figure-out-able.” With the tense energy of this weekend, this video contains great information to help us through reacting to circumstances around us.

Tarot Tune-Up: Shuffle your tarot deck, and ask the tarot the following question. How can I better deal with stress? Pull three cards. Let me know what you pull.

See you guys on Monday!

Mercury Hangs Out With Daddy Jupiter and Uncle Neptune

June 17, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

The planetary weather player for Friday is once again quick witted Mercury. As he continues to move through the emotional waters of Cancer he is going to trine mystical Neptune and then sextile beneficent Jupiter. After the intensive energy of the Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius that occurred earlier in the week, this combination of harmonious aspects is rather welcomed.

So, what is the planetary scoop? Mercury in trine to Neptune is a great time to get in touch with our spiritual and creative sides. You can use this energy constructively to study spiritual material, take some time out for yourself to reconnect to your soul, or just spend some time listening to music or watching a good movie. Add to that one part of meditation and many of the problems of the world will just kind of become second nature. It’s a great day to distress and decompress.

As we head into the evening hours, Mercury will form a pretty sextile to Jupiter. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, so he will widen our interests and attempt to make us more social. This is a great night to either spend romantically (especially with Neptune hanging around), or to hang out with some friends and socialize. Communication is Mercury’s domain, so great discussions, a little wine, and maybe a slice or two of cheesecake will make for a great evening.

Friday’s Tarot Tune-Up: Shuffle your tarot deck. Ask the following questions: What can I do to connect more to my inner spirit. Pull a card. Now shuffle the deck again. Ask the next question: What can I let go of to change my inner spirit. Let me know what cards you pick!

Mercury Moves Into Water Cancer

June 16, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

On Thursday, mercurial Mercury will move out of his own sign of Gemini and into the emotional waters of Cancer. Whenever, Mercury is in the water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces) our ability to perceive, feel, and connect to the instinctual world is heightened. Mercury is like a child that has to test and experiment with everything, and the watery terrain of Cancer is no exception. While Mercury is in the sign of the crab, we will notice that our understanding of life will not be through thoughts, physical sensations, or intuitive flashes, yet our experiences will be felt and understood through the lens of human emotions. The sign of Cancer is associated with emotional security, so Mercury being in this sign for the next 3 weeks provides us a unique opportunity to find out what nourishes us, and how to implement “spiritual” food into our diets.

Tarot Tip: Shuffle your tarot deck and ask yourself, “What sort of spiritual food would nourish me at this time?” Spread out your deck and pull a card. Let me know which one you picked!
