“What men or gods are these?\u00a0 What maidens loth?\u00a0 What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?\u00a0 What pipes and timbrels?\u00a0 What wild ecstasy?” <\/em><\/p>\n

~ John Keats<\/em><\/p>\n

The brief triple conjunction of Venus-Chiron-Neptune at 25 degrees Aquarius today and tomorrow in Aquarius suggests people getting together for the purposes of healing and entertainment.\u00a0 There’s a hint of the biblical phrase “For when two or three are gathered in my name, there am I with them”.\u00a0 Venus with the other fellows may also bring poignancy in love, like the figures on the Grecian Urn lyricised by Keats.\u00a0 These are the things which are conjured to mind in the imagination.\u00a0 The reality may be very different.\u00a0 Looking at my diary for the next two days, I have a get together with old friends today (Aquarius) in which the talk is likely and necessarily to turn to ailments (Chiron).\u00a0 Tomorrow is a family get-together (Aquarius) at a funeral.\u00a0 There will be refreshments afterwards (Venus) but thoughts are likely to turn to spiritual links (Neptune) rather than the Neptunian activity of dancing.\u00a0 There may be a sense of closure (Venus conjunct Chiron) or a mood of serenity (Venus conjunct Neptune).\u00a0 Venus-Chiron-Neptune at its best could bring the sublime and the miraculous.\u00a0 The Venus-Chiron part happens today (emphasis on health and healing) and the Venus-Neptune tomorrow.\u00a0 If you are interested in colour healing, magenta will bring together a group, while peach can bring out spiritual love (Venus conjunct Neptune) and salmon pink\u00a0 Universal love.\u00a0 The emphasis and tone of the week is characterized by the quick romp of the minor planets in contrast to the dominance of the heavies last week.\u00a0 While the activities of the first half of the week emphasize sociability, the second half is dominated by Mercury and could be more cerebral.\u00a0 You can keep your brain sharp and active by doing crossword puzzles and sudoku if you’re retired like me (though I’m finding nature abhors a vacuum and I don’t feel retired at all!)\u00a0 Or you can whizz round visiting people on public transport (expressing the Mercury principle) if you’re not engaged in office work or board room wrangles.\u00a0 Alternatively, if you are leading the more natural life, you may be paying extra attention to weather and the environment (Mercury) or exercising by walking (more Mercury) and refining your awareness of the nuances of climate change (ditto).\u00a0 Down to specifics: Mercury enters Aquarius on Wednesday 10th and so joins the party, but from the other side of the room (Venus and Co are gathered at the end of Aquarius).\u00a0 There may not be any direct contact between them (and the Sun shining in the middle of Aquarius), but they will all be singing from the same songsheet, i.e. Aquarius, which will be useful for wider group endeavours.\u00a0 But the group will only enjoy the company of Venus one more day, for she moves on to Pisces the next day (Thursday 11th).\u00a0 They may miss her harmony and warmth, but she will become more harmonious and warmer and more voluptuous for being in Pisces.\u00a0 She will also be more emotional, gushing and sincere.\u00a0 The other characters will be asking “What’s got into her?\u00a0 One minute she’s this, and the other minute she’s that”.\u00a0 Glamorous female celebrities may change their image or switch back to ex-partners.\u00a0 Now that I am not wearing glasses I am able to zone out the covers of Heat and Hello magazines at the supermarket, nor can read the fine print on the cover of the National Enquirer, so I don’t know who has more claim on Brad Pitt these days…(ignorant bliss).\u00a0 Mercury trines Saturn on Saturday 13th, which means you can apply your mind and possibly even tackle heavy mental tasks such as assembling your case for the pensions Ombudsman.\u00a0 If engaged in studies, a good dose of reality will be what is learned from early morning, and later Mercury opposes Mars so there may be debate and lively discussion.\u00a0 Minor accidents could also be on the cards, so drive safely.\u00a0 Mercurial brain activity is not the contemplative kind, it’s more prosaic, but take a couple of moments out in your right brain to set up a happy outcome for Sunday (I know, I’m spilling over again) when the New Moon in Aquarius can cement social alliances and remind us to take pride in being part of the human race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
