When to Tell All

​​Sometimes you've just gotta come clean about something, so when is the time to do it? This article covers when you may be inclined to reveal the truth - dive in!

Transit and Natal Asteroids of Truth

There are thousands of asteroids in astrology, and some of those asteroids are linked to truth. Three of them are:

- Asteroid Veritas (490)
- Asteroid Truth (249521)
- Asteroid Fides (37)

When you want to speak the truth about something, you can look for when you'll have a positive aspect (sextile or trine) to your natal Veritas, Truth, or Fides, or when transit Veritas, Truth, or Fides will be making a positive aspect or are conjunct a natal planet, an angular house cusp (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th house cusps), or your 1st house ruler.

​You can also look for when they're transiting the house ruling what you want to open up about, your 1st house (the self), or positively aspecting the ruler of the house ruling what you want to open up about.

There's also the progressed and return charts

Your progressed chart adds one day to your date of birth for every year you've been alive to create a new chart that reflects your maturation and growth. It can also be used in predictive analysis.

You can look to your progressed Veritas, Truth, and Fides, and when they are making a major aspect to your natal or progressed charts, you may find that you feel you need to speak the truth about something.

A return chart is a chart created for the exact moment a natal planet of body returns to the position it was at when you were born. In a return chart, if they are on an angular house cusp, conjunct the 1st house ruler, or conjunct the planet that the return is for, that can also indicate a period when you feel the need to speak truth.

You may also find that you want to spill the beans when you're experiencing your Veritas, Truth, and Fides Returns (or the truth may find you!).

And there's Jupiter and Mercury

You can also focus on Jupiter and Mercury connections. Mercury rules communication, and Jupiter is a bit of an honest broker (or more like blunt sometimes!).

Conjunctions, sextiles, and trines between transit Jupiter and your natal Mercury or transit Mercury and your natal Jupiter can be good times for telling all; oppositions between them may show you open up a little *too* much! Jupiter touring your 3rd house (house of communication) can also be positive.
