Astro-Notes on July 3, 2014 – finding the inner fortitude

Venus in Gemini engages in a semi-square to Jupiter in Cancer and a quincunx to retrograde Pluto in Capricorn, while Juno in Gemini is moving into a sesqui-quadrate with the NN in Libra (semi-square SN in Aries). Consequently, we will place great emphasis on our mission today, so much so that we even enlist the help of others just to get on top of our affairs. However, we might not like the answers we get or could be told to engage other parties or use our position and power to deal with our problems on our own. Therefore, at this stage on our path, it is important that we act on the advice we’ve been given and start communicating and negotiating, which means moreover that sometimes we have to fight to be ‘heard’ or having our opinion and evaluation taking into account and at other times we have to accommodate, compromise, cooperate, appreciate or meet others half way. One thing is for sure though, things won’t be handed to us.

Tarot card of the day is the 5 of Pentacles”, which portrays a pilgrimage or a long journey taken as an act of faith or devotion. We can find the inner fortitude to persist in our quest and bolster ourselves, while resisting the temptation to succumb to ‘spiritual poverty’. It’s time to move on and to let us be guided by our soul’s ‘light’ or inner shining star. Moreover, in this context the card asks us to follow the high road during this process (detour) as we’re ‘recovering’ ground that has been transformed or is evolving. It’s a time of transitioning, after which we will feel renewed and empowered.
