Venus Trines Neptune

The week starts in the afterglow of the full Moon in Gemini, a mercurial peak whose opposition to the Sun in Sadge put a fire in the mind. The heavens pile on the divine inspiration, with a trine between Venus and Neptune (Exact on Monday, the 26th at 4:55 a.m. EST). This brings together Venus, the feel-good planet of romance and beauty, with Neptune, the planet of dreams, visions and the spiritual quest. Both are in air signs -- Neptune in Aquarius weaving its magic in the collective realm, and Venus in Libra inspiring artistic visions of harmony and balance. It's a great time to be still and receive creative ideas, images, music from that mysterious source many call spirit.

Venus trining Neptune draws out the mystical dimension of relationships, with serendipities like chance encounters that hint at subtle cosmic intervention. Your steady flame also gets some heavenly help in the form of loving, exalted vibes. This planetary happening starts the week off on a lofty note, where the wonder of the larger mystery may interrupt the regularly scheduled programming. For example, this picture -- cue the celestial music -- was taken from an office window.
