Oh man, where have I been? I had all these great plans of writing, blogging, taping and producing some amazing content during the last year; the dark year, the year of seclusion and quarantine and I have done less in these last 14 months than ever… Well that is not entirely true either. I took most of this time for me. I renovated my living room and my bathroom; nothing to extensive, just some paint and creativity, but what a difference. I also created a comfy, cozy guest room out of an empty space that was just laying vacant. I cooked delicious meals and took the time to make some mouthwatering and nutritious morsels and slowly enjoyed everything. My daughter got married and I took a lot of time off to enjoy my family and the celebrations; so I cannot say that I did not do anything, it just was not what I was planning to do. This time gave me the opportunity to really search and find what brings joy to my heart. I think I lost some of that joy getting caught up in the rat race of life and some days and weeks still feel crazy as I have never been busier with work and life. Every day I remind myself to take it slow, do what I can and enjoy what I am doing… that is enough.
My desire is to get back to writing again. I used to write a weekly blog, fill you all in on the Astrology and Planetary Energies, and this is the perfect time as the Sun is getting ready to move into Gemini, my Sun Sign!
We have a whirlwind monthly ahead for sure as Jupiter just slid into Pisces on May 13th for a sneak peek of 2022 bringing us some much needed compassion and serenity until mid-June when he Retrogrades back into Aquarius for the remainder of the year.
May 20th – Sun moves into Gemini
May 23rd – Saturn turns Retrograde in Aquarius -wanting more freedom and reverie, yet having to stick to commitments just the same. The need for freedom is strong, yet the pull to follow the rules keeps the tug of war stretching for balance.
May 26th – Full Flower Moon in Sagittarius with a Lunar Eclipse- This Moon will be conjuncting the South Node, the Sun conjuncting the North Node; both at 6 °. Lunar Eclipses leave us fumbling around in the dark a bit and we may be unaware of what is lurking around the corner. This is a great time to do some shadow work and figure out the bits and pieces of ourselves, our lives, our closets that need cleaning out and releasing once and for all. With Mercury days away from Retrograde in Gemini, our words could be very cutting. What is said in pain, anger, jealousy, revenge, grief can never be taken back at this point. There will be a severing of relationships. This also enters a point where there could be many crossing over to the Other Side in addition to discovering ailments that may have been hidden until recently. Old beliefs are timed to be discarded and let go of as this a time of growth and expansion; fresh minds with fresh ideas are emerging. This is a great time do a health overhaul and change or shake up your daily routine and health regimen including nutrition. Where does 6 ° Gemini land in your chart?
May 29th – Mercury Retrograde in Gemini – Rest, Retreat, Rejuvenate, Relax – communications can be a bit scratchy in a cat fight like fashion. Mercury entered his Pre-Retrograde Shadow on May 14th and will exit the Post-Retrograde Shadow on July 7th. Think about what occurred during May 14-29th as those are the themes that we will be re-exploring during the next six weeks. The degrees will run from 24 ° Gemini back to 16 ° – take a look into your own chart to see where those degrees of Gemini are sitting in your chart for some insight where you will need to revisit.
Coming Soon – the next New Moon will be in Gemini on June 10th with a total Solar Eclipse at 20 ° illuminating all that has been hidden in the shadows… stay tuned!
