Introduction
There is a lot going on
during the end of our week. First, we have the New Moon in Gemini
dawning tomorrow. But, under the surface of that, we have the ongoing
inconjunct from Jupiter and Neptune which (in my opinion) is being
largely overlooked. However, that inconjunct becomes a bit more
important over the next few days as a Yod will be created first by
the Moon in Taurus and then again by Mercury in Taurus.
Jupiter, of course, is
stationing to turn direct. Therefore, his movements are very slow
right now and his energy is greatly accentuated. In the sign of
Libra, this calls forth the need to be fair and judicial when
weighing out information ensure that you are assessing facts and not
just rumor, emotional nuance or hearsay. It also leaves room in the
courtroom for everyone to be heard before a final decision is ever
made. With the inconjunct to Neptune, there are many possibilities.
One that information drips with sentiment in an effort to be
persuasive or manipulative. Another that what is published is
deliberately misconstrued. And, further, that folks are kind of lost
in regard to their overall philosophy on any given subject. There are
questions. Possible bluffing. Possible plays upon empathy and...at
it's worst...a highway to heaven aspect that increases the potential
for things such as suicide, over-doses and and hidden dangers when
traveling abroad. None of this is out of the scope of our current
reality. It is not uncommon for folks to disappear or withdraw at
these times either.
With the Yods, the sextile
at the base of the one that involves the Moon includes managing the
more positive expression of Moon sextile Neptune. Moon in Taurus can
stabilize a Neptune that may lack boundaries or be confused. It
brings solid ground and in turn can help suss out the truth of the
message being delivered by Jupiter in Libra. She can bear in mind the
emotional impact but brings over-expressions or confusion to ground
rather easily.
As for the Mercury Yod, in
Taurus he looks for the common sense answer. His desire is to keep it
simple. He will yawn at false emotional or self-martyring pleas.
However, the influence of Neptune brings empathy to Mercury in
Taurus. Meaning, he can feel where the other person is coming from
for better or worse. He is able to assess not only what is being said
through the mouth and through written information, but he is able to
suss out the deeper meaning by coming into tune with what is not
said. This is also a beautiful mixture for singing and music by the
way. Mercury in Taurus has a beautiful voice made ethereal and given
the ability to touch folks on an emotional level by way of Neptune.
The inconjunct to Jupiter helps him put that talent out to the
public. This is the type of set up that uncovers ridiculous talent
from someone who may be just bagging groceries and singing along
joyfully in their work thinking no one is really listening...but they
are.

With Mars out of bounds in
Gemini, the search for information is on. The Yod however, says some
of that information may be deliberately conflated or confused. Plus,
the New Moon in Gemini is likely to open a new dialogue across many
areas of life both in the public and personal realm. Mercury is out
of shadow. Venus is out of shadow. We have been grating over the same
issues for most of the year. But what is due to come from the New
Moon is likely to be brand new subject matter. Perhaps even a game
changer...which also is not unusual with Jupiter at a station point.
Plus, after Jupiter turns direct, it is not uncommon for folks to
change their opinion/philosophy on any given topic. Gemini on the low
end is fickle. So I don't mean that. I mean changing your opinion of
what the truth is based upon new and verified information.
And...there will be plenty of it coming forth following that lunation
for sure.
It's also important to note
that just prior to the New Moon on Thursday, Venus does perfect in
square to Pluto. There could be grappling for resources, feelings of
paranoia that there this not enough to go around, greed, manipulation
and attempts to control in relationships...and of course...the
potential to run into old lovers, friends and acquaintances. Remember
what Mercury's and Venus' retrogrades taught you and keep priorities
and value systems in line. If you run into old acquaintances/lovers,
look for the lesson before you allow yourself to be drug back into a
bad situation. There is room for healing and closure here, though. As
the Moon wanes today, it's an excellent time to work to sever
negative attachment. It's also a really good time to go into debt. If
you are purchasing, make sure the expenditure fits in your budget. If
it doesn't, create a savings plan, look for ways to increase income
and be resourceful. Ensure, also, even if it fits in your current
budget that you are getting an equal amount of worth out of the thing
you are investing in. On the high end, Venus/Pluto can deepen
existing relationships and help you really go deep in regard to what
is personally important to you. On the low end, there is jealousy,
greed and the potential for someone to suckle off your resources be
those monetary or from the energy of your heart.

This morning we wake up to
the Moon in Taurus creating that Yod with Neptune and Jupiter that I
spoke about in the introduction. Again, this is grounded empathy in
an effort to suss out the true problem. The sextile with Neptune
occurs at 7:14 AM. And, since both Taurus and Pisces love a good
snuggle in the bed...and Libra can be a bit lazy...it could equate to
a desire to sleep in. FIVE MORE MINUTES!!
By 3:09 PM EDT, the Moon is
fortified with a trine to Pluto which encourages us to take what was
delivered in the morning and go deeper with it. Dig to find the root.
Assess underlying motivations and face off with fears. It could also
mean we are literally hungry. With Venus waxing toward Pluto those
cravings could be for sweets or indulgences. Since Taurus can be
material, it could even equate to a desire for big purchases. Just be
mindful that you are getting quality in return for what you pay for.
Venus rules this Moon, so the potential for running into folks with
which we've had previous relationships is high. With the Moon trine
Pluto, these interactions can stir deep emotions connected with that
potential. Invoke strong boundaries and look for the lesson instead
of allowing something to drag you backward. Remember, there is also
potential for current relationships to deepen here.
As the Moon still wanes,
this is a good time to upcycle or recycle used items, be resourceful
and continue clearing out space for the new Moon. We could get down
to some nitty gritty work here and be well grounded in an effort to
bring things to completion.
Our Taurus Moon is Void
following a sextile with Chiron at 5:34 AM. She reactivates in Gemini
tomorrow at 8:16 AM.
Thursday, May 25, 2017
This morning the Moon passes
into Gemini changing the Mood from grounded to Airy and perhaps a bit
fickle. Venus officially perfects in square to Pluto at 12:17 PM.
That is big news. But, we've got more big news in store. The New Moon
in Gemini germinates at 3:45 PM. This features 3 bodies in the sign
and therefore a stellium. Mars waxes toward an opposition with Saturn
which is due to perfect on the morning of the 29th.
The New Moon itself is great
for creating a new dialogue, taking a new class/new path of study or
even making new friends. However, know that a new dialogue and new
information is likely to be opened within the collective too. In that
case, with Mars in Gemini, we may be prone to respond to it. As he is
out of bounds, that could include an over-reaction. Be mindful in
your actions and make sure you have the information straight before
you do anything. The Saturn opposition will call you out on taking
action any other way. Remember the inconjunct from Jupiter to Neptune
and remember some information (especially publicly published
information) may be conflated, misconstrued, an outright lie...or
even equate to someone bluffing. Get the facts straight then respond
maturely and with accountability.
The Sabian symbols in
relation to this New Moon read as follows:
For the Sun and Moon at 5
Gemini: A radical magazine displays a sensational front page.
Social propaganda and the tendency for it to distract us from
personal priority is a thing under this Symbol. Be careful what you
feed your brain. Also be careful in regard to allowing outside
entities to control what you think or what you believe to be at
priority. At the same time, if it's true, speak it. If it's published
and untrue, point it out. The idea here is spread the news but make
sure it's true, relevant and not just something put in place to
generate ire or stimulate pay-for-clicks.
For the Moon's ruler,
Mercury, at 10 Taurus: A pretty red cross nurse hurries on an errand
of mercy. This Symbol fits nicely with our Venus/Jupiter
opposition. Here, the red cross nurse is out and about helping those
in need. Venus definitely supports these efforts as well as Jupiter.
Each are best directed at supporting others in such a way that brings
them comfort and eases their situation to degree. In order to do this
effectively, you must know what the person needs and also know what
it is you are capable of. Then, whatever that leads to, do the
activity with love expecting nothing in return save maybe a “Thank
you.” The joy is in doing for others because you can and are able.
Not doing in hopes of banking something back from them.
See? Expect radicalism,
sensationalism, information used to stir folks up or perhaps dripping
with emotionality and sentiment. Remain grounded and keep searching
for the truth. However, also know with the Red Cross nurse in action,
there could be literal emergent situations to deal with too.
There will be an assured
battle between truth and fiction in the morning. Read on to discover
why.
Friday, May 26, 2017
This morning we find our
Gemini Moon in trine to Jupiter in Libra. Tongues are wagging most
likely from whatever dialogue was opened yesterday. Almost
immediately after, the Moon squares Neptune which overlays an
emotional tone to whatever we are dealing with. Folks may be
confused, fatigued, overly sensitive, moody, withdrawn...or you
know...just sleepy. Gather information like a good Gemini but only
keep the parts that hold truth while discarding the rest. We are
still looking at a chance of conflation and deliberate
misinformation. Be aware of that.
At 2:11 PM the Moon passes
by Pluto by inconjunct and something in the emotional body stirs in
response. Something is just...off. And, we are quite prone to keep
digging to get to the bottom of it.
At 3:50 PM, the Moon nicely
sextiles Venus in Aries. We may be asking ourselves, “Why I this
important to me? Or does it even apply to me? How do I feel about
it?” Yet, it is a light and social aspect which may just have us
chatting things over with friends and lightly focusing on what IS
important to us on a personal level instead of trying to figure out
what the crap is going on out there in the public arena. Be sure you
have discussions with folks you trust and who are open to an exchange
of ideas that may be different than their own. The ability to openly
discuss (between all potential speakers sharing their views is
important). If not, there could be arguments and hurt feelings as the
Gemini Moon meets Mars by conjunction at 10:21 PM. Speak gently about
the issues that are important to you but remember everyone has the
right to be heard.
By midnight, the Moon is
sobered by an opposition to Saturn. Some of what we've learned today
will not likely be pretty. Now is the time to ground that out and
boundary it up and do the responsible thing. Sometimes the truth is
hard. But, at least, now you know.
Overnight, the Gemini Moon
sextiles Uranus and squares Chiron before going Void. It's not the
most restful night for sleep, I would imagine. The brain is a busy
place. To offset that, limit your exposure to things that may be
over-stimulating and stick to a step down routine before bed. Also
know there is potential for some truths to come out by way of talking
in your sleep. Hopefully, that doesn't scare you in the least.
The Moon remains Void until
entering the watery world of Cancer at 7:25 AM tomorrow.
Saturday, May 27, 2017
This morning the Moon
resides in Cancer after 7:25 AM. We encounter her in all her purity
as there are no major lunar aspects throughout the day. However,
Mercury remains busy, busy, busy. He meets Jupiter by inconjunct
(3:18 PM) which is followed by a sextile to Neptune (3:04 AM), thus
opening the Yod I spoke about in the introduction. This calls us to
remain empathic but well grounded and holding tight to common sense.
Things may not be as they seem. Information may be confused or
conflated. But, grounded Mercury in Taurus knows the answer is
usually pretty practical and simple. If it walks like a duck, talks
like a duck and all that.
Still, though, the Moon
isn't necessarily in the mood for any of that. She may retreat to the
privacy of her shell and let all this slip under the radar for now.
There isn't anything wrong with that. However, her intuitive powers
remain astute. She can drink in the happenings of the world without
ever clicking on the TV or opening the newspaper. She can “feel”
what it's like out there and will gauge that temperature before
daring to venture out.

It is a good day to withdraw
and pay heed to more personal matters. Self-care and nurturing others
are highlighted. It's a great day for a good home-cooked meal and
leisurely activities around the home.
Enjoy the potentially lax
feel of the day and go with the flow. Tomorrow, Cancer Moon is not so
settled.
Sunday, May 28, 2017
Today is the day in which
the Moon passes by in trine/sextile to the interaction between
Mercury and Neptune. Intuitive information is kicking. In Cancer is
where the most intuitive placements reside. Mercury/Neptune brings
information outside the form of written or verbal communication. Pay
very close attention to how you feel and heed warnings from the gut.
Very early, the Moon squares
Jupiter in Libra (4:58 AM). This can kick off dreaming or awaken us
to an exuberant morning...or a sense of knowing that something is
stirring out there. By 6:08 AM the Moon is trine Neptune and by 6:28
AM she is sextile Mercury. This weekend, in the US, is Memorial Day.
The memories. The watery feel, the sense of mourning that is brought
forth from this sky all fits with that. It is a day marked for grief
on the calendar and marked for the same by way of the stars. Cancer
remembers....so much and Neptune grieves and grieves.
On the high end, apart from
the holiday, memories and mourning, this is also very creative and
somewhat dreamy. Creative visions can be brought to tangible reality
with Mercury in Taurus. Art can be an excellent format to work
through grief as well as music, art...the cleansing and rejuvenating
power of water. It would be a good day for the water front, yes?

However, by 2:06 PM, the
mood grows darker as the Moon opposes Pluto. Some may want to cling,
control, revert to emotional manipulation to assuage one's fear of
loneliness. There is the enabling/codependency dynamic that can rear
its head, as well. There could be dark inklings and intuitive hits
that birth fears and paranoia. However, Pluto also gives us the power
to face these head on. He also brings temptations while also
delivering the power to say, “No” to them through our power of
will and self-control. For me, the temptation part of Pluto has
always been the hardest thing to deal with...when that inner darkness
wells up and the devil on your right shoulder grows so much louder
than the angel on your left. This can be depressive but it can also
be empowering when you properly balance out the polarity allowing you
plenty of room to more deeply inspect fears, paranoia and the desire
to control others.
At 7:03 PM, the Moon is in
uncomfortable square with Venus. Venus wants to move on but finds
herself within the same trappings as the Moon...falling under the
dark shadow of Pluto. The outlet to this loose Cardinal t-square is
in Libra. Air. Balance. And, proper relating. With Venus involved
those control efforts could be directed at relationships with lovers
and a desire to cling and control in that realm as well. Aside from
all that, we grow increasingly frustrated. As if we are blocked. Our
efforts usurped. Mars waxes strongly into opposition with Saturn
which is due to perfect overnight.
It's a tedious day. Folks
are grumpy. On edge. Sad. Gathered in public places for mourning on
both an individual and collective level...and then...Mars/Saturn.
Difficulty moving on. Sun/Pluto/Venus can be insidious and
Mars/Saturn...cruel. Plus, as Mars waxes toward Saturn, he also waxes
toward a potentially reactive, spiteful and impulsive sextile with
Uranus and a quite painful square with Chiron. It's tedious.
Potentially dangerous and awareness of one's own actions and the
environment is highly suggested.
Shortly after the
Mars/Saturn opposition, the Moon squares Uranus and trines Chiron
before going Void. To be honest...I don't like the entirety of the
set up at all. It looks painful to me and even potentially dangerous.
I would advise to keep holiday gatherings small and private. I would
also suggest if you have a bad feeling about doing something or going
somewhere...pay heed to it. May be nothing. But...by all means, take
the safe route. There will be plenty of public ceremonies in the US
on this day and likely tomorrow. Be careful and aware out there
folks.
