Ballet
of the Stars — “Pas de Trois” of Mercury, Venus and Jupiter
Well,
this should be some show! If you are fortunate, you should be able to look to
the west at sunset over the next few days and experience a Triple Treat! From
where the Sun has just set you should look up from the horizon and you will see
lined up three “Stars”, which are in fact the Planets Mercury and
Venus close together and then slightly above them Jupiter forming a Triple
Conjunction! The Sun in New York will set around 8:10 pm EDT and around 7:50 pm
in Los Angeles, so as twilight wanes and night begins you should be able to see
these brightly shining three..
Just
click on the image above to see a GIF animation of their beautiful dance with
one another.
Then
over the next week, you can watch their dance unfold every evening as after
Mercury aligns with Venus on May 24, then Mercury will align with Jupiter on
May 27 and finally Venus catches up and aligns with Jupiter on May 28, after
which they will begin to slowly separate from one another. In fact Jupiter will
slowly vanish from this “Pas de Trois” altogether as the Sun
“catches up” to Jupiter who is then enveloped or “lost” in
the glory of the Sun.
This
first of the three, Mercury Conjunct Venus, brings together the Avatars of your
Mind and your Heart. This is truly a most wonderful time to reflect and share
your thoughts with your beloved, to enjoy your most intimate appreciations for
life and for one another. With both Mercury and Venus in Gemini, you will find
your delight in extension and variety, in the many facets and refracted, nuanced
pleasures of Value, Beauty and Love. Gemini being an Airy Sign of the Mind,
modulates your Love and Passion for Life to flow through your Conversations,
Texts and Messaging, weaving your way of Love and Beauty through your Writings and Word-Plays…
This is when you can see Life and Beauty through the
multiplicities of your world, celebrating the delightful varieties of shapes
and colors, of scents, sounds and touch…The Ordinary or Routine just will not
do…it is in Discovery, Chance, Interplay and the pleasures found in the Joy
of your Minds reaching out to touch the Larger World and One Another…
Yes, it is
here with the Sylphs of Air that you can Sing and Dance and celebrate the Beauty Within and Around you too!
Though you will and must ever “Walk in Beauty”…
This is a Day to Sing of Beauty…
This is a Day to Speak in Beauty…
This a Day to tell your Beloved…
You are…Beautiful!
