For some of you this may be parsing things a little too finely, but I’d like to point out that the asteroid Hygeia receives quite a few contacts from other transiting bodies today, and to me this suggests a theme: what occurs offers us the chance to sort what’s good for us from what isn’t. It’s a point when our attention goes to the suddenly emphasized, the suddenly obvious, all in service to assessing what we need more of, what needs to be eliminated. We are likely to see the physical manifestations of our state of Being (another way of saying ‘health’), the ways social pressures and dictates have caused us to modify our behavior (in forms that may be either positive for us or harmful), and we get a glimpse forward to what our actions and choices are creating for the future. What we want to be, in the largest and most complete sense, is what we are considering at this time, and we see exactly how reality and our behaviors intersect, and the results.

With the Fist and the T-square we may get even more specific. The Fist offers us the ways the reality picture and our own ambitions and desires have intersected, and the ‘reward’ of such; the T shows us values and relationships and the ways these have caused conflict acted out and on via our own agency–that is, this shows both a measure of our own responsibility for the state of things, and how and why our relationships and what we care about have tested and been responded to in proportion to how much personal power and authority we believe we hold. The end result of that is the sum of what we are ignoring or denying, and the hidden anger that may be driving our behaviors–and it’s these intersections and combinations that we see the physical result of today.

We may all be tempted to vow to diet, exercise, reform our habits, ‘clean up’ in some way–and that would be positive, though we don’t want to miss the real message: that our actions and choices are the building blocks in a more concrete way than we may imagine. We have more control, and more ‘say’, than we think we do–be ready to wield it.

For those born with the Sun at 22 Gemini. Check your natal chart for the correct Sun degree (you may want to read both the degree number and the one that follows, if you have minutes on your Sun position–together these offer a more complete picture of your year ahead). Dear Gemini, big change is coming, and if you don’t modify yourself and your approach when you first see that a shift is occurring, then choice and control will be taken out of your hands. Whew! Do I have your attention? Things are getting a wee bit drastic because you’ve been plowing ahead, thinking you can ignore pretty much everything in pursuit of your goals–and now what’s been neglected is catching up with you, and maybe even overtaking you. By that I mean a certain amount of control is inevitably lost by you, through the very fact that you have let some structures, supports, and ‘security blankets’ crumble. In the end this may be a good thing, but will put you through some stressful times in the coming solar year, through to your next birthday. What’s working for you? An immense sense of determination, and the ability to see the value of spontaneity and accident–and it’s this latter that can turn your year into a highly rewarding time. Good luck!
