Dear Astro Alchemy Friends!
YAY – VENUS just took flight in GEMINI!
VENUS is far ahead from the SUN now, and showing up as the ‘Evening Star’ these weeks and months – a signal that She’ll go retro soon (July 22 – Sept 3, all in LEO).
For now – GEMINI is the Venusian magnet, and attractive Yin (or shall I say: Yin-Yang Alchemy?!) expression.
Everything GEM, and all your GEM features shall be sweetly magnetic & attractive, the next weeks
What a breath of fresh AIR, with this de-light-full Planet now in GEMINI!
Momentum & openness come into the atmosphere like wind & waves.
The AIR Element (now newly activated, via VENUS, while PLUTO is freshly in AQ – since March 23 – June 11 – more to come in 2024!) activates learning & discussions, and shows us where we find Freedom & CommUnity, and how to co-create & co-innovate, and help Humanity.
Beyond (after SATURN’s heavy impact on AQ 2020 – March 2023) stuckness, social alienation, restrictions, and fears of a dystopian future.
I call the TAU – GEM cusp that VENUS crossed on Monday
The ‘Voice Point’
Time to find our V~O~I~C~E, (re?)learn & practice the Alchemy of L*O*V*E.
The shortest bridge between people can me a smile and a kind word.
Let’s be – again & anew – the learners & Alchemists of Love, communicate because we love to, perceive things in a fresh way, and engage in dialogue & synergy where 1 + 1 = more than 2.
Never miss writing love notes – or letters… to your sweetie, to yourself, to random people….!
VENUS in GEM & MERCURY in TAU (Apr 3 – June 11) are in mutual reception now
Yep, they’re in each others’ ruled signs (VENUS rules TAU, and MERCURY rules GEM), as long as VENUS is in GEM – which also corresponds with the pre- and most part of MERCURY retro.
These Archetypes stimulate each other – which can bring out lightness & joy, flirtatiousness, playful banter & tease, shopping & joy walks.
Yet, there can be also misunderstandings, lack of proper info / communication, etc, compliments MERCURY about to go retro (Apr 21 – May 14) – which in themselves can teach us about the nature of the mind, esp. re: TAUREAN issues – What do You Truly Enjoy & Value?
Plus, VENUS will square SATURN in PI, on Apr 14 – which brings hurdles and serious vibes into the picture (see line-up of VENUS encounters below).
New Lightness & Movement are ever so welcome!
The springy-light, ‘pollinating’ vibe of GEM comes into the foreground now, via delightful VENUS…
…bringing a beautiful breeze of fresh AIR into the picture.
There are so many ways of seeing things.
GEMINI celebrates diversity, and learning from one another.
And do we ever need exchange of energy through fresh ideas, shared interests, learning, inspiration, communication, connection, and cross-pollination of new ideas via dialogue!
The classic debate (hmmm, is it even still freely welcome and happening these days?!?), is about thesis – antithesis – synthesis: Alchemy of Ideas…
Rather the specialty of MERCURY in GEM (coming up June 11 – 26).
With VENUS, it’s the Alchemy of Love & Attraction.
GEMINI season leads to the height of the light – Summer Solstice – celebrated on June 21!
May light & lightness balance out the oh-so omnipresent heavy and dark atmosphere!
GEMINI is the Alchemist of Polarities and Duality
painting by Johfra Bosschart
The image of the Feminine – Masculine ‘Phoenix Twins’ shows:
Polarities are being alchemized.
Woman & Man together hold the Caduceus, the winged staff of Hermes / Mercury (ruler of GEMINI) with the two yin & yang serpents.
Rather than the modern medical / pharmaceutical symbol of the staff with only one serpent… think about it!
While the tendency of the Mind (MERCURY) is to go into duality, starting with naming this and / vs that, the GEMINI path is to transmute duality.
The Alchemy Phoenix behind / above their Union represents the Rebirth in the ONE.
VENUS in GEM can be also about bringing more Yin-Feminine energy into the Alchemy. True for you?
In Spring / early Summer 2020, under VENUS for an extended (and retro) phase in GEM (Apr – early Aug), I immersed myself in soulful and poetic books that had been on my shelf forever, patiently awaiting to be read.
What a sweet daily ritual to go on an inner journey with them!
I found friendship & inspiration in them.
And rediscovered old and found new friendships with like-spirited humans.
Lots of photo editing & organizing was done as well – fun, creative, and brought back sweet memories of outer journeys and good times with friends & family.
Gifts in disguise in challenging times that helped to keep the Light Alive!
Maybe some of that Spirit can be picked up again now – and support / sustain a seasonal intentional retreat from external mental overwhelm (as MERCURY is about to go retro)?
With VENUS in GEMINI, we attract lots of opportunities to learn and talk about Love & Values.
VENUS also affects money (as an expression of values – self love – self validation) – inviting us also to a redefinition of our relationship to money – as we learn and share…
A good time for speaking and writing, in loving, relational ways (VENUS), and ‘just’ for l’art pour l’art.
And for those Springy reads on your porch or under shady trees…
The Heart Chakra – related to VENUS – also connects with the lungs, and has the AIR Element attributed.
Love strengthens our immune system.
Let’s breathe this IN!
Live lovingly, with a Light Heart that grows wings, says VENUS in GEMINI.
And it’s about transforming Fear into Love!
The best Alchemy, and prob. the most important one!
Let’s let our Hearts grow wings!

ASTRO~CONSULTATIONS
Serving you with astrological guidance and perspective, pointing you to Your ‘Inner Cosmic Compass’.
I’d love to inspire you to be in alignment with, and smoothly ‘ride’, those ‘auspicious’ or ‘challenging’ waves of cosmic energies that present themselves at a given time, and, similar to climate and weather, affect our human energy field.
Which can lead to eye opening awareness, growth, healing, release, transformation, and you can feel more connected with yourself and with all-that-IS, in the bigger on-going evolution.
Ultimately, you dwell in a witnessing place in the ‘Hub of the Wheel’ where you are less & less affected, more & more liberated, and self-realized.
I welcome you as a client who is not seeking an ‘old school reading’ from me (“What’s going to happen TO me?”, “What am I supposed to do?”), but to be supported in accessing your own wisdom source, especially in times of a challenging transition, stuckness, transformational crisis, for new perspectives at a crossroad or dilemma, and for important choices.
This is to empowered and liberating ways of working with the ancient and timeless gift of Astrology!
Feeling called to explore your Cosmic Map, and how it can guide you on your Earthly Journey?
Come over / let’s meet online, for Your private Astro session!
ASTRO~OFFERS
From time to time, I have OFFERS on,
