THIS RETURN TRIP

This post is dedicated to those that have an open mind when it comes to reincarnation and life after death. 

This Return Trip

Everyone, but especially those that are sure or have strong beliefs that we are not here for the first time, must take responsibility for our lives.  We have picked this life, to be with the people we are close to us, even those that seem to hinder us in some way. We have chosen this road and all that lies behind us and before us.

Yes, we have picked even the challenging situations, because they are valuable teachers.  We also know that our higher self, which some believe is the accumulation of all individuals we have been prior to this life, will only do what is best for our journey.  We may not understand the purpose behind some of the challenges we find ourselves facing but our higher self knows what we need to learn and how to advance our eternal growth through our experiences.

You may wonder why my spouse is so wonderful and what did I do to find such a perfect mate or alternatively you may question why would I have pick such an individual? They seem to challenge me at every turn. 

What will I learn from our interaction? 

How will I grow as an individual and how am I affecting those that surround me? 

We interact with one another for reasons much greater than we might be aware.  There are deep connections with certain people that most likely we have shared experience with prior to this incarnation.  Our family and family of friends likely decided to join us again with our approval.  No matter how the relationship appears on the surface, we are linked together with total agreement.

Why have we met so many obstacles throughout our life, and experienced so many hardships and such sadness? Alternatively, we may ask why have we been swept away in such pure love and appreciation? 

What are our Karmic implications, good or bad?

Why do we not know clearly why events have taken place?

Why can we not remember previous lives to understand more clearly why things happen the way they do?

So many questions yet too few answers.  Are our earthly minds capable of understanding the reasoning?

It is quite acceptable to go deep and question why we are here and what we have come to learn. This inquisitiveness will help us to dive much deeper into our earthly journey instead of riding the wave of life without purpose or meaning.

Go deep into the whys behind this return trip. Find purpose, be of assistance, love unconditionally and you may find the answers more quickly.

SUN IN GEMINI

On May 20, 2025, the Sun moves from the fixed, earth sign of Taurus into the mutable air sign of Gemini. 

Those with their Sun cusping Taurus (born in the first 1-5° of Gemini) will have tendencies also linked to the sign of Taurus.  Those individuals with their Sun in the last degrees of Gemini will also have Cancer tendencies especially internally.  These are cusp degrees.

Sun in Gemini

Gemini, as mentioned, is a Mutable sign and these individuals are changeable, able to adapt to almost any condition, sometimes quite moody with changing temperaments frequency and quite often restless needing constant variety in life.  They usually do not like to stand still or to be idle. Geminians tend to go with the flow rather than fight against the current. 

Those with their Sun cusping Taurus still carry the same traits as the above-mentioned, but also have concerns about the finances, wish to move forward in the same direction rather than constantly changing direction, are more steadfast in their approach and more reliable.  Financial security is often more important for those with Taurus cusping than those with the Sun in the middle degrees of Gemini.  Decants must also be considered.

Those Geminians with their Sun cusping Cancer are more concerned with family affairs, are also more emotional than the typical Gemini. Sensitivity and the need to protect their family runs strong with the late degree Gemini individuals.  Decants again play a part with the later degree of Gemini. 

The Sun sign of Gemini is an air sign suggesting these individuals are ruled by their mind and quite adept at conversation, unless Mercury is poorly aspected in the natal chart. 

Mercury rules Gemini and most Gemini take an interest in learning.  Education is important in the schooling of the mind, whether through actual academic learning or the schooling of life.  Geminians like to know a little about a lot, but many tend to skim the surface. Those individuals with Taurus tendencies, however, will likely run deep into subjects that interest them. 

Geminians are the talkers of the Zodiac.  They tend to mingle with others, have a wide range of interests, are fond of discussions, listen but also think while they listen, which at times will get in the way.  They usually have a wide circle of friends (more likely acquaintances).  They enjoy socializing and many also participate in groups as they can share their ideas with others and learn.  Geminians can be quite convincing but are also subject to a change of heart or thinking, as they review and process what has been said. 

Gemini individuals are very much in the moment, but also deeply embedded in their thought processing.

Happy solar return to our friendly, curious, witty, communicative, thinking Geminian followers!

The Transit of Mercury & Its Retrograde Motion

The planet Mercury has to do with our thinking process.  It also has to do with evaluation, speculation, integration and information. 

The placement of Mercury in the Natal Astrology chart, by sign and house position along with natal aspects determines how your mind operates and how it deals with information, both favourable and challenging.  Regardless of how your Mercury is aspected in your natal chart, you have options as to how you wish to deal with life’s adversities and also how you wish to move forward when opportunity strikes.

The Transits of Mercury & Its Retrograde Motion

As Mercury moves through the Zodiac, it forms aspects to all of your planets over a relatively short period of time, quite opposite from the movement of the slow outer planets.  Mercury is known as a neutral planet, suggesting that it needs stimulation from outside sources before it becomes activated.  A transit to your Natal Mercury is quite different in energy from an aspect by Transiting Mercury to your natal positions.

Transiting Mercury changes signs at least once every month unless it goes into retrograde.  Retrograde motion is when a planet appears to move backwards in the Zodiac.  Outer planets are in retrograde about half of the time through the year.  Mercury remains in retrograde for about three weeks at a time.  It can change signs while in retrograde motion, therefore moving over the same degree in your chart three times until it finally moves direct again and continues its forward motion.

Many individuals fear Mercury while in its retrograde cycle but this is a bit of a fallacy.  What Mercury suggests while in retrograde is that you review your current plans before actually moving forward with them.  Mercury retrograde is a time for studying and integrating and then moving ahead when Mercury moves out of retrograde and back into direct motion.  We are not saying stop your plans to do or buy something. We suggest caution, however, if you are signing documents as the outcome may not go as planned.  Some challenges may interrupt the flow of things.

It is also important to know that those with Mercury retrograde in their birth charts may have more issues when Mercury is in retrograde by transit.  It should also be noted that Mercury must affect a planetary position or angle in your natal chart by no more than 3-4° of orb for it to have any type of effect in your chart. 

For example, if Mercury crosses your Sun in Gemini at 3° and your Mercury is retrograde in your birth chart, it will have an impact on your chart especially if Mercury conjuncts or is in opposition to this placement (the Sun in Gemini in our example).  Squares and Trines along with Sextiles have a lessor effect, and the energies will not be as bad as you might think they may be. 

Those individuals that do not have Mercury retrograde in their natal charts may experience nothing more than a minor setback, if at all, during Mercury’s retrograde cycle.

As a side note, all planets except for Saturn while moving through their retrograde cycle do not operate at full capacity.  Saturn, however, seems to operate with far less restrictions while in retrograde than it would in direct motion. 

The transits of Mercury & its retrograde motion are short lived as it moves quickly though the Zodiac. Mercury is neutral and needs stimulation. Use Mercury’s retrograde periods to plan and then act when Mercury goes direct. There is nothing to fear with Mercury retrograde.
