Sun as the Lover's Angel
The Sun moved into Gemini today and stays there until June 21st.
Through the eyes of the Tarot, this transit is like the Sun is wearing the clothes of the Lovers’ Angel. He’s thrown on a robe and donned some wings.
The Sun is the light. He’s unfocused joy, liberation and freedom. There’s no need for clothes because there’s no need to hide.
He’s the dawn after a long, shadowy night. Clarity and enthusiasm after confusion and fear.
The Sun is victory and power embodied in a child.
The Lovers are two opposites coming together. They’re two sides of one coin. Vulnerable, yet welcoming, they’re naked and unashamed.
Relating, communicating and trying to decide are what they do best. They’re inspired to know everything they can. And to share what they discover.
The Lovers are commitment. They commit to each other, and more importantly to themselves. When they say ‘I do’, they mean it.
The Sun is happy in this position, maybe a little more restrained than usual, but comfortable. His horse has become his robes, and his red flag has turned into wings.
The Sun above him shines almost as bright as he’s used to. And of course he’s got no problem with nudity.
The Sun in Gemini, or the Sun wearing the clothes of the Lovers’ Angel, is an excellent time to see all sides of a situation. And a good time to keep your mind open wide to inspiration.
When you do make a decision, it’s one that should stick. Or at least, it should be taken seriously.
If there are any issues that need working through, let them out for review. Clarity is at a high and the big picture is easy to see.
Is there something in your life that needs to be united? How about severed? It could go either way, or some way you didn’t expect at all.
Stay flexible, but serious, joyful and sincere. Love and sensitivity flourish as the Sun commits to a brand new season.

Sun dressed as Hierophant
The Sun moved into Taurus today and will stay there until May 21st.
Looking at it through the eyes of the tarot, this transit is like the Sun dressed as the Hierophant. The nude child is putting on some heavy robes and getting serious.
The Sun is bright, light and unfettered by clothes or dogma. He’s open, fun and willing to be vulnerable.
Spiritual freedom, creative communication and unabashed enthusiasm rule when he shines undiluted.
The Sun could burn you if you stay out too long, but he does it without malice.
He might be a child, but he’s stronger than even he knows. Playing with the Sun is like playing with the life force itself.
The Hierophant isn’t so much about play, though he’s very interested in the life force in all its human manifestations.
Spirituality is his specialty. But he likes it directed, not shining around all willy-nilly. He prefers things organized and under control, preferably his control.
The Hierophant takes ritual and tradition very seriously. He sees it as the path to freedom, not a restraint.
The Sun is a little constrained in this position, but he enjoys the confidence that the Hierophant commands. And with focus and boundaries, he only looks brighter.
The Sun in Taurus, or the Sun dressed as the Hierophant, is a time where you can confidently express what you believe.
Making decisions isn’t a heavy burden, but rather a task to be tackled with determination, and even a certain joy.
Take pleasure in the human expression of the spirit, in the things we make, feel and hold up as sacred.
Having faith is very human. Use this time to actively connect to what you believe in, and share it as if it were a song, or a really good joke. Have fun with it.
