Mercury Conjunct Venus...

starts on May 6 (using a 1 degree orb), is exact on May 10 at 1.44am in Kilmore (both at 22 degrees and 23 minutes of Aries), is exact again on on May 16 at 7.25pm in Kilmore (both at 0 degrees and 34 minutes of Taurus), leaves on May 21.

Smooth talker!  That's the first thing that comes to mind when I think about Mercury and Venus together like this.  Mercury, the planet of communication and connection and also our thinking and attitudes in general connecting with Venus, the planet associated with pleasure, ease and enjoyment bodes well for good news and and positive developments.

The connection through a conjunction suggests something or someone new coming into our lives, depending on which house the conjunction is falling in and which houses are ruled by the two planets involved (Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Venus rules Taurus and Libra).


An unusual twist to this double conjunction means that it will first occur in the late degrees of Aries, then the early degrees of Taurus.... giving us all an opportunity to benefit in at least two areas (houses) of our lives. 
So, if you have personal planets and/or points in Aries (for the first conjunction) or Taurus (for the second conjunction), then you are likely to feel this energy more strongly than others.
