Astrology for Friday, 3 April 2020:

Today Venus ingresses into Gemini, where it will remain until August 7. In Gemini, Venus brings attention to how we are communicating in our relationships, how we are creating opportunities for an open and honest exchange of ideas, and how we are cultivating curiosity about the thoughts and perspectives of our partners, friends, and loved ones. Alain Badiou writes of love, “What kind of world does one see when one experiences it from the point of view of two and not one? What is the world when it is experienced, developed and lived from the point of view of difference and not identity? That is what I believe love to be … is a construction, a life that is being made, no longer from the perspective of One but from the perspective of Two.” As Venus spends the next four months in Gemini, we might ask what it means to construct and live a life from the perspective of more-than-one. The Moon in Leo makes a trine to its ruler, the Sun in Aries. This trine inspires courageous action and bold revelation, making visible what has been hidden, lighting ablaze what has been in the shadows. Where might you need to generate more illumination in your life right now? Tonight, Mercury makes a conjunction with Neptune, inviting us to give voice to our dreams, to speak with figments and fantasies, to converse with those who dwell beyond our ordinary realities. It could be a time for automatic writing, for reading poetry, and listening for messages from beyond the veil of rationale thought.
