Today seems to focus energy through a Finger of God with apex of a wide Juno/ Venus conjunction in Gemini, which goes a long way toward explaining why our minds are preoccupied with trying to make the most of things–and yet for most the thoughts are easily distracted from their targets, not surprising with Moon in early Pisces. With a Finger of God configuration, the apex energy is the final one to be expressed; the base energies must first successfully work together, and this takes some effort (the sextile). Here the base is the North Node and the Earth/ Pallas conjunction. I know, some of you don’t count the Nodes as points in configs–ok, so don’t, but I’m going to.

We need to pull together the intended life direction (NN) and make it work with the wisest material arrangement possible (Earth + Pallas). Not the material circumstances we wish we could have–don’t confuse ‘most desirable’ or ‘ideal’ with ‘wise’–but the physical and asset situation that is the smartest for implementing our life path/ intended life direction.

What if you don’t know your life path, your intended direction of development? A glance at your natal North Node should at the very least give you a general subject and area for manifestation range that implies whether your current life choices, in the most broad terms, serve this direction. You don’t have to know precisely where you’re going–who does?–you just have to have a feel for it–and let things unfold from there. For instance, a natal North Node in the 3rd in Virgo implies something Mercurial, likely with several facets of this energy. That covers a lot of ground, but you know in an instant if your life is generally proceeding with a lot of Mercury-related emphasis or not.

So, successfully combining the intended life direction energy and wise material surroundings/ circumstances and you will be able to funnel the energy to the Juno/ Venus apex point, with a likely result of empowerment, enrichment, and a strong, positive relationship dynamic at your fingertips.

Also of note: the T-square involving apex Mars with the Sun/ Earth axis is still in effect. This promises to show us precisely how and where the ego and Will are conflicting with the life direction. Should show the ways in which we sabotage ourselves; but will we listen, and do something about the Self-destructive behavior?

And Jupiter quincunxes Vesta, suggesting that the social sphere must adjust to what’s truly sacred, the Gulf oil spill protests being one way in which Gaia is mustering some to speak for her, and ask for a reassessment (Merc retro) of our thinking on issues of material exploitation.
