The Sun has now moved to Gate 59, SEXUALITY or INTIMACY. In the I-Ching, this hexagram is called DISPERSION.

This energy is all about connection. The keynote says it all. SEXUALITY is for sure at play here but I see it more as seeking connection. This energy wants to penetrate the auras around it, to truly experience INTIMACY. It is grasping towards the solar plexus, seeking creative INTIMACY.

Gate 59 is unconsciously defined by three planets in my chart. The Sun in line 4, Mercury in line 3, and Venus in line 3. I don't actually think of myself as a super sexual person. I like SEX, but I don't think I'm oozing SEXUALITY. Of course that perception is pretty classic for unconscious energy. In practice however I was actually very cautious about expressing my SEXUALITY; a classic "or not," scenario.

But I do tend to value connected friendships. I'm not particularly comfortable with small talk. I prefer to go deep. There are other factors in my chart that create intense friendship bonds. But my tendency to penetrate the facade and connect definitely factors into this dynamic. In a way this also benefits my readings. I am comfortable with connecting with someone on a deeper level even if I have just met them.

So let me ask, what exactly does INTIMACY mean to you? What about SEXUALITY? Do you find it difficult to connect INTIMATELY with others? Or are you someone who prefers to connect with people on a deeper level? Are you uncomfortable when someone penetrates your space? Does it depend on the person? How does your SEXUALITY play out in your life? If you are having trouble connecting with someone you care about, this transit may help you feel closer. Or not.

But why not use this transit as an excuse to go deep?

I didn't mean that as a double entendre but I suppose you could go with that if you'd like.
