2012’s  key Astro-Configuration of Uranus (change and upheaval) square Pluto (eruption) coupled with the ongoing effects of the May 20th Solar Eclipse at 00 degrees Gemini (Wind) tightly square (challenging) transiting Neptune at 3 degrees Pisces (Water) = a series of natural disasters as the Earth releases its built up tensions and meets the cycles upon her that cannot be avoided nor ignored. Consider, nonetheless, that such lamentable catastrophes are effects and not causes! The sudden toothache demanding immediate intervention appears to have happened overnight but in truth, the decay has been festering in some cases for years! What are the causes in your life and in your nation? Beware of denial (Neptune), the price of willful ignorance is heavy and inexorable.

But this is not a message of woe, but rather of peace and hope; of the hope that we as a people awaken on time that the Aquarian Age of Brotherly Love become quickly a reality,  we see so much pain on this planet!

Predicting when the next strike will occur is easier than saying where although preparing to expect the unexpected fearlessly is sound astrological advice while seemingly paradoxical. Perhaps poised would be a more appropriate posture.

Participate in the natural beauty that surrounds you each day. Spend at least 10 minutes each evening enjoying the symphony of the stars. Gemini challenges us to meet the times without losing oneself in daily minutia, in the struggle to make ends meet, in idle chatting and excessive busy-ness..

The Three Magi has always upheld that Astrology is a form of prophecy and that prophecy is not set in stone. When humbled, let us not point the finger to heavenly causes, nor to divine retribution but let us look at ourselves, our nations…and let us know that a Greater Power, even that which abides within each one, can deliver us. Here is the catch: in life, in the timing of events of a person, a group of people, a planet, in a day, a month, a year and so on in the playing out of intermeshed cycles of greater and lesser duration and impact,

A point comes in any cycle in which it can no longer be turned back. It must outplay itself.

The Sun continues its transit through Gemini, the Sign of brothers, esoterically of Twin Flames, of union in diversity and of communication; of schism, conflict, gossip and lies, argument and the confusion born of ignorance of causes and their effects! Gemini is, above all, a signpost telling of the point in your Journey of seeking the truth, of being courageous to stand against the wind of controversy, the currents of unpopularity, criticism and resentment. Look at your life this past week, at circumstances, actions and reactions. An Eastern Adept once said, “Circumstances are but the condition for the choice!”

Not in the fear of impending doom, but rather in the gratitude of cycles of opportunity still upon us, enjoy the invigorating reminder of the Wind!
