The compulsive communicators

Fri 3 June – Thurs 16 June

Sun in Gemini; Mercury in Gemini; Venus in Taurus/Gemini 9^th; Mars in Taurus; Jupiter in Aries/Taurus 4^th

With Mercury joining the Sun in his home sign of Gemini, and Venus arriving fashionably later on the 9^th, variety will definitely be the spice of life, so find ways to mix up that same old regular daily salad sandwich with a little flavourable side dressing, while finding alternative ways to get to the office, even if the office is upstairs in the same house as the bedroom and you have to swing a rope over the chimney or vault over the balcony railings. Somehow or other, change is in order so order some change from a different restaurant and keep the change while simultaneously tipping the waitron. Later on you can write a rap song, for the gift of the gab is yours under Gemini’s influence, and the species known as the compulsive communicator will show you just how inextinct he is, though indistinct he may seem to those who never cracked the cryptic clues on the crossword of life. (Here’s a clue – that species is you). Remember, you can fool some of the people some of the time, and this might just be the time, so be careful of any smooth or fast talkers who use their garrulous gifts to sell you a second hand bogroll or anything else you thought you had seen the last of. Also beware spreading yourself too thin, unless you’re on a diet, for the tendency to multitask or succumb to insatiable curiosity may draw you ever onward to the next tab or window of opportunity, when in fact a bird in the hand… Alright, maybe a bird in each hand, since you don’t want to miss a thing now. As long as your bird is not the jealous type, for your super-friendly sociability under Venus in Gemini may be misconstrued by the more single-minded as trying to have a finger in every pie, or be the Jack of all Jills. Fortunately you should be able to talk yourself out of any situation as easily as you talked yourself into it, so even if all you do to me is talk talk, a lot may be communicated, even if a lot is left unsaid. Indeed the Trickster may be alive and well and taking mischievous delight in talking slower minds into a tizz so use the moment to branch out and practice on any newcomers to your neighbourhood as your circle of friends opens up if you want it to now. This is a great time to make numerous initial contacts. Just don’t expect to make anything more than a superficial impression for now, and don’t expect to delve too deeply into any matters at hand. You may find the subject has changed by the second sentence already. 

Remember that Mars is still in Taurus so there will be more mental energy than physical energy available, although the pursuit of material security and creature comforts will still be able to help you discover those greater levels of endurance you never knew you had. This combination favours craftsmen who use their hands to carve out a quality product, whether the tool used is a pen, pin or chisel. And with Saturn in Libra now over his six month retrograde and Jupiter officially into his year of Taurus, accumulation of wealth and an appetite for quality may just see you discovering just what it is you truly value while beginning to see results from your Art.
