Saturday, MAY 28
The Sun is quintile Neptune this morning, and we’re gracious, giving one another the benefit of the doubt. It can feel especially good to put our faith in someone or something now, and we’re inclined to see the spiritual dimensions or imaginative elements of our pursuits.
The Moon spends the day in Taurus, and Venus enters this Fixed Earth sign this morning. The Taurus Moon, lasting until tomorrow afternoon, is steady, simple, and contained. Venus will transit Taurus until June 22nd. Venus performs well in the sign. In Taurus, Venus is comfortable, sensual, content, and perhaps possessive. We seek security more than usual during this cycle, and we place more value on those things that last. In fact, Venus in Taurus improves and enhances our judgment of value and worth. Our appetite for pleasure is strong.
We’re revving up as the day advances and Mars and Jupiter approach a conjunction in assertive Aries. We feel positive, confident, and we’re getting ready for action.
VENUS ENTERS TAURUS
Venus is in Taurus from May 28 to June 22, 2022. In Taurus, Venus is naturally very sensual, content, and possessive. We seek security and value those things that are long-lasting. Our appetite for pleasure is strong.
The sign of Taurus values the here and now and the world of the five senses. Tangible and physical expressions of love and romance figure strongly during the Venus-in-Taurus cycle. Holding on to someone or something we love is our tendency under this influence.
The shadow side of this is excessive possessiveness and treating our partners as objects that we own or want to own.
On the financial side, Venus in Taurus looks for high-quality, solid, practical, and long-lasting items. Holding on to our possessions is more likely now. With art, tastes, and pleasures, we prefer things that are earthy, natural, and grounded. We can be somewhat indulgent at this time. Uncertainty bothers us more than usual–we favor stability over excitement in love and pleasure.

I plan on discussing Koand’s incomplete chart tonight on my stream. It is incomplete because I don’t have access to a verified birth time.
. . .
I’m attaching information about the aspects that we can see and the data is shared from here:
A stellium is a bundle of three or more planets in the birth chart. They combine to form a kind of super planet, acting as one force. With this pattern, the planets are all in the same zodiac sign. It's often said that we have all 12 zodiac signs in our nature, but a strong stellium packs the most punch.
A stellium is a highly charged hot zone of your birth chart. You favor these energies, and others sense them. If it's powerful enough, it outshines your Sun sign as the most outstanding constellation of traits.
Mozart's Stellium
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had a stellium of Saturn, the Sun, and Mercury in Aquarius. If genius is a sustained channel to the divine mind, he had that with a concentration of planets including Mercury in visionary Aquarius.
A stellium with the wow factor involves personal planets, such as the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, and Venus. If your personal planets are grouped with the slow-moving outer planets, you have an affinity for your generation's mission or the climate of the times.
Stella is the Latin word for stars. Stellia, the plural word for clusters, are easy to spot in the birth chart.
Astrologers vary on how close in distance some aspect patterns should be to constitute a stellium. Some say 1 or 2 degrees, while others allow up to 5 degrees.
But with the stellium, a more sweeping orb is allowed, as long as they're in the same zodiac sign. The closer the planets are, the greater the potency.
Many times the planets are in the same house, but not always. It's more challenging to interpret charts where the stellium lies over a cusp, the dividing line between two houses. The most striking stellium—and easiest to see at play—are close in orb and in the same house.
But planets in the same house in different Zodiac signs are not considered a stellium.
The Pattern Tells the Story
Donna Cunningham's ebook "The Stellium Handbook" is about this pattern. Writes Donna
"What makes you different is the cast of recurring characters—or their types—and the repeated story arcs....Explore the story that keeps replaying itself and that cast of characters. It may have minor variations but so often works out the same as the last few times."
Her main thesis is that the "sequence of planets in the stellium...tells the story." The lead planet (of lowest degree) is like a "first responder," setting the stage for what follows.
"If it [the lead planet] were Saturn, you might react fearfully and close down while you figure out how to protect yourself. Suppose Mars is the lead planet. It represents the urge to be first, to be a pioneer, to lead, and to win. It's happiest as the lead planet, but aggressive outreach isn't always an ideal approach."
The following is about Koand’s Sun in Virgo:

Practical and Analytical Skills
Toward the end of the month of August, the Sun leaves Leo and enters the sign of Virgo. After the pomp and grandeur of Its journey through Leo, the Sun in Virgo brings its focus to more practical concerns.
Those born with the Sun in Virgo are often motivated by an urge to find practical outlets for skills, talents and abilities, with an emphasis on being useful. Consequently, they can be humble, and at times self-effacing.
It is the natural counterbalance for all the hubris of Leo. The creativity expressed through Leo must be channelled in Virgo so that something can be harvested from all the growth that has occurred. The urge to be of service is often paramount, and Virgos tend to be driven more by the need to be useful than the need to be recognized.
From this perspective, Virgo is especially concerned with processes of discrimination and synthesis. Virgo symbolically represents the integration of material resources so that these can be most effectively used.
Accordingly, Virgo is concerned with efficiency, practicality and economy of means. This can be expressed on either physical and intellectual levels, both internally through the mind or externally through results.
As a Mutable sign, Virgo is also characterized by qualities of duality, so that those with the Sun in Virgo tends to have dual strengths. They often have the ability to blend logical analysis with practical knowhow, combining a sharp intellect with solid skills.
Practicality and usefulness are essential attributes of this sign. As an Earth sign, Virgo is apt to prefer grounded, no-nonsense ways of making things happen. Not all Virgos take the most practical path, but nearly all are solution-focussed.
Virgo will often prefer to contribute from the sidelines, assisting others to achieve tangible results. Virgoans often do best working behind the scenes, lending quality control, practical efficiency and detailed help to achieve the most efficient and well-organized result.
With the Sun in Virgo there is often the practical planning and attention-to-detail necessary to make things happen. The ability to focus on what is essential and necessary is one of the great strengths of this sign.
The Urge to Improve
Those with the Sun in Virgo usually seek to improve and refine whatever is at hand.
The process of discrimination is fundamental to this sign. On an external level, this can occur in obvious ways. Virgos want to make their environment as functional as possible. There is good reason for Virgo to have earned a reputation for cleanliness and order.
Virgo is traditionally associated with lists, details and protocols, and many (though not all) Virgoans will not feel comfortable unless a well-organized routine and structure is put into place.
Yet not all Virgoans display the characteristics of neatness and tidiness. For other Virgoans discrimination and order may be important on mental or psychological levels.
They become rigourous about mental pursuits or maintaining a healthy body/mind. To outward appearances they seem to live messy or chaotic lives, but internally they know what their goals are and how they will be realized.
As this is also a sign of mental acuity, many Virgoans are blessed with a sharp, critical mind. Sun in Virgo often gives a strong capacity for rational analysis. The ability to pull something apart into its component pieces, see how they fit or work, and then put them back together is often pronounced. Usually they deliver a more refined or improved version, so that system-thinking and analysis is often an innate talent. They make great problem-solvers.
Virgos can specialize in minutiae, clarity and detail. Few things escape their laser-like assessment once fully engaged with whatever is before them. They may excel in synthesis, editing and task prioritization.
The analytical side of this sign works well with their practical efficiency, again earning Virgo a reputation for organization and detail. Their mental acuity works best when there is something tangible to focus upon. Those with the Sun in Virgo are able to make an enormous contribution to whatever field of endeavour they are working in through their unique skillset.
They tend to make valuable employees and useful friends, owing to their capacity to dissect a problem, organize it, and then suggest practical ways to get the ensuing job done.

Mercury in Virgo people are reserved, logical thinkers who plan their actions well and stick to their goals. They seem to specialize in editing and analyzing whatever it is they’re doing or thinking about at the time.
They think through a situation, formulate a plan of action, and then see it through to completion with very little deviation. This is their pattern for most things they do. They like to be careful not to make missteps when they travel up the ladder of success–which, by the way, certainly is a ladder they climb by choice! They like to feel that their success was planned as well as earned.
