Don’t Just Mask the Symptoms, Treat the Root of the Issue Today…

Daily Horoscope for Wednesday, June 22, 2022

You know when you feel a cold coming on and you start coughing and it’s hard to talk, so you suck on a lozenge to soothe your throat?  That way you can talk without coughing all over the place!  Well, today is like that…

We metaphorically feel a cold coming on (maybe in real life, too!).  We know that we are fighting something, but we don’t know what yet, so we mask the symptoms to get through the day with a cough drop.

We have the Sun in Cancer today at 1 degree—we need to focus on ourselves and take care of ourselves, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  Interestingly, I have noticed a lot of people coming down with colds, at the beginning of summer, no less…

The Moon is in Aries, approaching Mars, and will meet up with Mars by this afternoon…So, we want to feel better and we want to feel better immediately, hence the use of the throat lozenge.  The key for today, though, is: what choices, steps, or actions can we take that will actually solve the root problem?  Why are our throats sore in the first place?  Instead of just applying a quick fix, this is the focus:  get to the root of the issue and make changes that will provide long-term effects.

Venus is moving into Gemini by tonight at 8:34 pm ET.  We are going to want to talk more!  So we definitely need to get rid of that ‘sore throat’ at the source!  Today would be a good day to gargle apple cider vinegar, sip on hot lemon and honey tea, or take a drop of medicinal-grade melaleuca (Tea Tree that is safe for internal use—see bottom of page, I will share my favorite brand*).  I’m not kidding, we are going to need to talk a lot more over the next 3 ½ weeks while Venus is in Gemini. So, we need to take care of our throats, vocal cords, and throat chakras.

O.k., but metaphors aside, when Venus is in Gemini we can expect to hear more news, have more conversations, and have the desire to exchange our ideas more with people.  It could be a fun, intellectual, and revitalizing time, complete with a Mercury cazimi (Mercury conjunct the Sun) in mid-July!

So, to recap:  we all want to feel better and take action on things in our life, but the question is, “Which actions can I take that will benefit me long-term, and which ones are only good for quick temporary relief?”  We want to focus on what is going to bring us long-term value and not short, quick, ‘mask-the-symptoms’ solutions.

Let’s pick a card for today:

4 of Wands

We want this great life, the “happy ending,” and a big party!  We want to feel a sense of completion and consummation, like the marriage that is being depicted on this card: the consummation of their commitment to one another, while at the same time starting something new, i.e. their marriage.  It is usually a joyous card representing a feeling of happiness in what you’ve achieved—an end to a particular chapter—and excitement and elation at what’s ahead—the next chapter.

Again, this is kind of related to the snake energy of change and transformation that we’ve been discussing in recent horoscopes, but it’s the celebration of that change, instead of the deep and painful initiation of it.  Maybe we are nearing the end of something inside ourselves that has been gestating for a long time and we are now ready to be done with that phase and emerge with our new self-expression?

I hope this was helpful.

Until tomorrow,
