I hope you are enjoying today's Venus trine to Pluto! This is a day that we can make changes in our lives to increase our comfort and develop our relationships. Meanwhile Mercury is quintile Uranus, the planet of intuitive consciousness, who is diving into Gemini today. And Mercury is also trine Salacia, the planet of higher-love consciousness, at 12 degrees of Aries.
In modern astrology Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury, but Dane Rudhyar reminds us that the higher octaves act on the lower octaves to repolarize them. So the quintile means that your ideas and communications can be repolarized at a very deep level today by your intuition.
The discovery of Uranus enabled consciousness growth in our lives and, over the next six years in Gemini, he will be igniting our minds with flashes of genius, and giving us a desire to break free from conventional thought patterns. So we’re all going through a revolutionary shift in consciousness in these next years.
For those on the spiritual path, Uranus in Gemini offers profound opportunities for enlightenment through the synthesis of knowledge and intuition. This is a time to embrace meditation and mindfulness practices, to quiet the mind amidst the flurry of thoughts. These practices will not only ground you but also enable clearer channels for intuitive insights. Trust in your inner guidance, knowing that your intuition is a powerful navigator through these dynamic and shifting times.
The trine between Mercury and Salacia is bringing an intimacy, or a desire for intimacy, into your communications today. This intimacy gives you an opportunity to really connect with people, rather than just talk at them, and at the top level it could bring true love into your life.
Even when you're working at the personal planet level of consciousness, this trine could give you a natural cunning today, which enables you to survive by being smart with your words. However, at this level, it might also cause you to get involved in indiscreet talk, or encourage you not to keep secrets. Or you could find yourself prone to exaggeration, or to the distortion of facts, attempting to use them as a shield to keep you safe.
Another way it might manifest, is through unconsciously projecting your issues onto others so that you can play them out in the real world. Or you might find that others are projecting their issues onto you. The answer with either of these manifestations is to take a good look at the processes at play in your life.
Everything is a process for Salacia. Processes are connected by the development that occurs along the way. Each part of the process prepares for the next part, so when you are in tune with your process, you know exactly what to do next. Projections interfere with this, and by identifying the processes at play you see the projections for what they are.
In any process there are key moments where your interaction can materially affect the outcome. You know that if you make your move too early or too late it won’t be as effective. Choosing the moment is more about allowing the flow of moments and seizing the opportunity when it arises. You have to be patient, yet ready to act. And you will know in your heart when it is the right time.
So, this is a good day to look at where you are in any of your processes right now. Something is developing out of the work you are doing. Identify the choices you have today to advance the process. Play out each one in your mind’s eye and choose the one that offers the most potential.

As you develop spiritually, Salacia enables you to remove the barriers to happiness in your life, and you learn to approach life with an easy sense of humour that helps you get through difficult times. So, this is also a good day to allow yourself to be light-hearted and to look for opportunities in your communication where you can remove the barriers to happiness. By being light-hearted, you learn not to take yourself or others so seriously and this lightness enables a tension release which both protects you and assists your growth.
As you embrace the higher-love of Salacia, you lift yourself out of the salacious side of your life, out of love as a material experience, and you develop your psychic sensitivity. This enables you to find true love by being open to relationship opportunities and assessing each of them realistically. So, if you know in your heart that someone is right for you, this can be a day when you can take a leap of faith into that relationship and enjoy the deeper meaning and support the commitment brings.
At the top level, the trine between Mercury and Salacia could open you to psychic perceptions and you might be drawn to phenomena such as hypnosis, telepathy, near-death experiences, synchronicity, or apparitional experiences. At this level, Salacia gives you the self-awareness to work with the unseen and take the leaps-of-faith required in your growth. Enthusiasm and emotional power are your hidden talents, and you may have a personal interface with the supernatural.
