The High Cascades are such as suggested...we are humbled by the natural beauty found thriving beneath the Three Sisters, and to play into the heart of them is pure magic.


THE VENUS EFFECT - VENUS IN GEMINI

You are so sharp that sometimes, you cut yourself! That’s the downside of being born with Venus in Gemini but given the numerous creative talents that this allows you to develop, it is hardly a side effect worth worrying about. Even if you do end up with the occasional self inflicted psychological wound, you are blessed with an impressive capacity for rapid recovery.  There’s never yet been a problem that you have failed to see a solution to.

The transit of Venus has taken place in your Venus sign - and the next one too, in 2012, falls in the same sector of the sky. That’s a clear sign that it’s time to think again about the way you conduct some of your ‘emotional business’.

It’s also a suggestion that you are growing tired of ‘thinking your way through life’ and would like to feel your way to a future in which you are free to be less logical, more intuitive. There’s nothing stopping this, other than a long established tendency to see yourself in a particular light, compounded by a reputation that you have spend a long time cultivating. Others think of you as someone with an answer to every question.

There may be some resistance as you now start asking questions to which there are seemingly no answers. But as you now finally dare to face up to personal issues which, prior to now you have denied the very existence of, there’s going to be amazing movement and magic. Next, we’ll look at the new life of love and the new love of life, which you will soon have.


Last week’s rare transit of Venus took place in your own Venus sign. That, all on its own, is a clear sign from the sky that you’re going through something exceedingly special. As the second rare Transit, in 2012, will also be in Gemini, we can safely conclude that you’re entering a long, exciting phase of positive, personal growth. Er.. hang a minute. Personal growth? Isn’t that a sort of 'new-age, psychobabble euphemism for inner conflict and awkward experience?'

Well, yes, it is... and no, I won’t pretend that your journey through the next eight years is due to be entirely free of challenge. But grow, you will. And as you acquire greater psychological height, so you will easily start to rise above emotional problems that currently seem to loom dauntingly over your head. You’ll go far past the limitations that currently confine you. You’ll become much more of the person you were always destined to be. And that will make it much easier to recognise and respond appropriately to the person you were always destined to be WITH.

The learning curves you encounter on your journey towards a happier future may be steep at times but they’ll never cause you to slide back down the slippery slope towards ignorance. The changes may take a bit of getting used to but once you do adapt, you’ll never look back.

All the events you encounter will have but one simple purpose...

To help you fulfill your potential. So prepare to develop more of your talent. To release the gift you were born blessed with. To learn who you really are and what you’re capable of. To impress yourself and others in the process. To win friends and influence people. To become more creative, more inspired, more attractive and more able to weave spells of enchantment. Oh, and one more thing. To enjoy yourself.
