The BIG NEWS today is Venus in Taurus squares Jupiter in Aquarius at 9:38 AM EDT and then Venus will move out of Taurus and into Gemini at 10:01 PM EDT.

This is some major self-centered energy. LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME. Venus square Jupiter is absolutely starved for attention and you can see it. It's bold, it's blatant and it will do anything to take your attention away from you and put it on them. I'm usually pretty conscious when my attention is being tempted. Read that line again, particuarly - " . . . when my attention is being tempted."

Proceed slowly my dear little astrotators as your attention to self is being sought, bought and sold. Be mindful of where and who you give your attention. As a yogi we are constantly reeling our attention back to our mat, back to ourselves, as we go through the motions of a pose. The mind wanders and we have to reel ourselves back in. Your attention is everything because it is your consciousness that gets lost while you are mesmerized away from your own Life.

As a sentient being, your consciousness is your awareness or 'sentience' (ability to sense) your internal and external existence, together or separate. When you leave yourself, you give up your awareness or attention of your 'self. This is important folks as I am setting you up to grasp or understand something much larger.

The word 'attention' always reminds me of my brother-in-law (my sister's husband in Cherokee, NC). I have told you this before. One day we were standing outside talking, looking up at the sky. I was upset about something and he calmly and sweetly said to me, "I don't give it my attention." I said nothing and just listened. Then he said it differently thereby causing me to 'really' understand what he was saying, "I won't give it my attention." In other words, he was not giving-up 'his attention, awareness or consciousness' and handing it over. He was keeping himself intact. He was not impaired or taken from himself in any way, shape or form as the temptation to 'go there' was looming.

Pictures, images, comments, posts, people, places, things, situations and circumstances are all wearing on your soul to LOOK and comment. LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME! We can see desperation to pull the attention to LOOK, to comment or to click and go deeper. Whether it is vanity, political, rants, etc., people are competing for your attention. That's what advertising does and in all ways, we advertise ourselves. LOOK AT ME! You must wake-up and see this. We are hearing the words 'woke' and 'wake-up' a lot these days and folks it is real. I'll get to that point.

You must recognize what you are doing to compete for attention. After all, the Moon is in Aries today (the competitive one) and squaring its on planet as Mars is in Cancer. Mars is competitive and will stop at NOTHING. Do you hear me, it will stop at nothing to win and gain YOUR attention. I cannot stress this point enough. Watch the social media posts. Cleavages, butts and inflated lips.

So this aspect, Venus square Jupiter, if there is any square EVER that could possibly be Good, then this square would be that square. It likes to have just a little bit too much fun, but . . . it could cost you. There is a tendency for extravagance and it is SELF-CENTERED. This aspect believes the Universe revolves around the self. Are you doing this or are you being pulled off your mat (Life) into someone else's world? Believing that you are the center of the Universe can lead to self-indulgence in the worst ways and I guarantee, you will get the attention you were not seeking. Seriously, I can't say it enough, be super careful at your level of LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME.

This aspect can cause you to throw caution to the wind and set out on a quest to only chase the fun side of Life where a moral code may be lacking. This can cause you to just chase the money or the success while losing all integrity. That's the result of the temptation folks. Your moral code will be the first thing in question. The temptation to follow the link or the temptation to comment. There is temptation to make you envious or jealous of someone else's status or what they have. If you are being tempted to want someone else's Life, that is your first clue. Are you being tempted to feel less about your own Life and/or circumstances in comparison to someone else's. Your consciousness, attention, sentience is up for sale now. Can you see that?

This aspect is a traveling party just looking for a place to land. Self-indulgence is so high with this placement that you may have a problem keeping your weight down because of self-indulgent habits. Eat, drink and be merry all in honor of, "I deserve it!" Do you? Really? For what? For what do you deserve to abuse yourself? This has a form of self-loathing and self-abuse attached to it in a super-secret way, but alas it is seen by all through the braggadocio actions. LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME.

There is also carelessness in matters associated with Venus (Love and beauty) or finances since Venus rules both. Too much is taken for granted, and you may lack an appreciation of the true value of things, which includes valuing the people in your life. This is what happens when you lose your own attention and it escapes from you. This could also cause you to squander money, while not appreciating the value of a buck. You may be very extravagant in both your affections and your finances, finding it difficult to manage both. What ends up occurring is reckless behavior wasting your own money and other people's time.

Those of you with your birthdates surrounding this aspect will need to pay attention to your attention. At the same time, everyone could stand to pay attention to this aspect and the message that it holds because no matter what, no matter what aspect is in the sky, you will find yourself competing for attention and/or your attention will be sought, bought and sold. So while this aspect can certainly be a Good thing to bring you back to your self (me, me, me) the temptation is so huge I caution you - be careful who and want you give your attention to.

Last but certainly not least, remember, Venus moves into Gemini today. Make certain you read all about this placement because there is all kinds of Goodies with this placement. Also, your Monthly Horoscope is updated with this transit of Venus in Gemini. The Monthly Horoscope is in the teal-colored-drop-down-menu above.

Sat. May 8, 2021 (afternoon) - Fees for Natal Charts and Solar Return will rise to their pre-pandemic rate. My Life is shifting and my charting time is being limited. There will be a $30 rise for Solar Returns and a $50 rise for Natal Charts, which will bring the charting fees back to where they were at the beginning of the pandemic (March 2020).

As a head's up, my Life, my world, my time, my schedule is shifting ... and as a Gemini, I'm coming upon my own 2021 Solar Return and Holy Wow do I sense, feel and know the shift is already here. I'm already turning in that direction. That's how Solar Returns work. You should be able to feel these energies before your birthday ... if you choose to tune-in. I absolutely believe it is important to have your Solar Return at least 3 months before your birthday so you can make room for your 'shifts'. The closer it gets to your birthday, the more you will feel the planets coming into the 'orb of influence' of where they will be on your birthday. You want to be prepared.

Having said that .... when COVID hit the charting fees were cut immediately and completely in half. They have been slowly rising back to their pre-COVID fee where they were over a year ago. There will be another significant rise in this charting fee very soon. So just a head's up. Also, very soon I will only be writing a certain number of charts a week. While I will continue to write Natal Charts and Solar Returns .... this will mean there will be a two-week delay between ordering and receiving the chart. My time is simply shifting and the time devoted to sitting and charting will be less and I will only be able to accept a certain amount.

My suggestion .... get your orders in quickly before the rise in fee .... which will be a $30 rise for Solar Returns and a $50 rise for Natal Charts, which will be back to where the charts were at the beginning of COVID. My charting time will be severely limited .... order now before the rise in fee and time limitation.
