Monday, May 30th ~ We have the moon in Gemini today, moving into exact conjunction with the Sun at 7:30am EST. This New Moon begins a brand new macro moon cycle in the axis of Gemini. Here we are called to set intentions around our mind and the way we process information. This is the perfect time to shed patterns of thought which are detrimental to our well being, and to begin to introduce or set the intention to introduce more positive and productive thoughts. We can also set intentions around communication, whether it is in our personal lives, work lives, or in projects that involve writing. What is it you wish to release, and what would you like to invite in? Over the next six months until the Full Moon in Gemini which takes place during Sagittarius season, these themes will continue to grow and develop. Water the seeds you wish to someday see bloom. The moon goes on to sextile Chiron in Aries later on at 8:18pm EST, making it easier to become vulnerable and open up to another person.
Tuesday, May 31st ~ We have another full day of the moon in Gemini, in its dark phase. Thoughts bubble and brew and produce curiosity and an insatiable desire to learn. The moon squares Neptune at 4:09pm and trines Saturn at 4:10pm EST. These transits work against each other somewhat, with the Neptune energy causing us to become unfocused and more likely to be lost in daydreams, while Saturn's influence brings a strong need to take responsibility and complete a task. You could oscillate between being productive and distracted throughout this portion of the day. The moon moves void of course at 4:11pm EST for over 13 hours. This period suggests that tonight is a good time to rest and recuperate and indulge in self care.
Wednesday, June 1st ~ The moon is void of course in Gemini until 1:48am EST when it moves into its home sign of Cancer. Here, the moon is expanded and watery, amplifying intuition, emotion, and sensitivity. You may feel more tender and sentimental today. The moon squares Jupiter at 9:34am EST, opening the heart up to almost uncomfortable levels of feeling. Some will enjoy this outpouring of love, while others will wish for more protection and guarding against all this vulnerability. The moon sextiles Venus at 11:23am EST, bringing more harmony to interpersonal relationships and enhancing our desire for beautiful things to surround ourselves with. The moon's last transit of the day comes at 1:30pm EST as it squares Mars in Aries. With both the moon and Mars in their home signs, their energy is pure and undiluted. Passionate displays of emotion are likely, and some may feel impatience surrounding matters of the heart.
Thursday, June 2nd ~ We have another full day of the moon in its domicile of Cancer, the lunar tidepool of the water signs. While Scorpio represents the darkest, deepest sea, and Pisces, the gently flowing river, Cancer represents the shore. The tidepools are the perfect merging of earth and ocean, and contain worlds within a small space. This is a perfect representation of the Cancerian energy. The moon squares Chiron at 9:17am EST, which suggests a need to take some time this morning to heal the self and to listen to the body and its needs. The moon sextiles Uranus at 11:04am EST; we can find more joy today by breaking out of dull routines and allowing for more surprises and exploration. The moon goes on to sextile its North Node at 11:14pm EST, which aligns us to karmic destiny and gives us a chance to reach out of our comfort zone in pursuit of the next level of our growth.
Friday, June 3rd ~ The day starts off with Mercury's retrograde period ending at 4:00am EST, with the planet of communication stationing direct at 26 degrees Taurus. We are out of the thick of misunderstandings, delays, and technological issues. This ushers in the second phase of our Mercury cycle, perfect for taking new ideas and beginning to implement them and work to flesh them out. This period lasts until July 17th and is the ideal time to workshop a new project or begin its creation. The third phase (July 17th-September 10th) is more about sharing, premiering, and getting other people in on our vision. Today we also have the Cancer moon trining Neptune at 5:04am and sextiling Mercury at 6:43am EST. Spirits are relatively high today, with these transits increasing our imagination and allowing for more harmonious interactions. Our minds are likely clearer with Mercury now direct. The moon opposes Pluto at 11:14am EST and then moves void of course for over three hours. The Plutonian energy suggests a need for autonomy and more room to make our own choices. We may feel a distinct desire to transform some piece of our lives to allow for more freedom. The void period lasts until 2:37pm EST when the moon enters Leo. Take a nap or meditate quietly for a short time for a boost. The Leo moon trines Jupiter later at 11:08pm EST, a hopeful and optimistic transit. We are more likely to want to share ideas, show off, and go on a fun adventure during this time.
Saturday, June 4th ~ The moon is in Leo all day, enhancing emotions and adding a flair of drama to them. The moon trines Mars at 6:15am and squares Venus at 6:46am EST. These aspects bring a boost of physical energy and enhance the spirit of friendly competition. We might feel playful and enjoy games or sports that allow for banter and the ability to win. Saturn stations retrograde at 5:46pm EST at 25 degrees Aquarius; this retrograde lasts until October 23rd and brings the planet back to 18 degrees Aquarius. Saturn retrograde is a time of karmic unfoldment. It comes every year for about 4-5 months, and delivers karma to us based on the effort and energy we have put in. This time can bring payouts and bountiful blessings, but it can also bring reminders from the past if we have not dealt with them yet. I have used this metaphor before, but Saturn retrograde is like cleaning your closet. If you have actually cleaned your room, you open your closet to find it nice and neat and feel a sense of peace and accomplishment. If you have spent the last year stuffing things into the closet and pretending your room is clean, then Saturn will open the door and spill all of those out onto the floor for you to deal with. It does not give us anything we did not set up for ourselves. The best way to meet these hurdles as they come up is efficiently and thoroughly. Saturn does not like a rush job. Take care of whatever comes up and it will likely not bother you again. I would like to add that Mercury is squaring Saturn as it stations retrograde, and will be trining Saturn when the retrograde ends in October. This suggests a karmic balancing is possible, and any sad or heavy things going on right now can possibly be overturned and corrected by October. The Sun and moon meet in sextile later in the day at 7:22pm EST, and the moon enters its Waxing Crescent phase. Hopeful energy comes in as the moon moves out of its dark period. The moon trines Chiron at 9:56pm and squares Uranus at 11:46pm EST. Intuition is likely on point and allows us to see deeply into the emotional worlds of others. We can use this for healing and growth, and bring our relationships closer should we wish.
Sunday, June 5th ~ The moon is in Leo all day, the sign of fixed fire. It starts the day by squaring both Nodes at 11:10am EST, suggesting we are being pulled in two directions. One is the path of least resistance but offers little room for growth, and the other allows our spirit to evolve but could require us to overcome our fears and uncertainties. The moon opposes Saturn at 5:03pm and squares Mercury at 7:12pm EST. Today's energy is a bit heavy and thick. Responsibilities and debts could feel overwhelming. Seek out ways to engage with your inner child while still attending to what needs to be done. Find ways to laugh, play, and keep your spirit light. The moon is void of course from 7:13pm until tomorrow, and this is the ideal time to unplug and enjoy yourself.
