Mercury stations direct this week. But with a twist. For Saturn is also stationing retrograde. And both planets are activating the recent Lunar Eclipse point from May 16th. To learn more about what this will all mean for us, click below.

The New Moon in Gemini falls on Monday, May 30th, at 9º Gemini 03’. Gemini is a sign of wit and dexterity, filled with restless curiosity, and the changing tides of the seasons. Things are moving. But with Mercury still retrograde until June 3rd, we are being asked to pause, and make sure that we have our priorities in order first.

As the Sun and Mercury cross paths on May 21st for the Inferior Conjunction of Mercury, they also exchange signs: Mercury retracing its steps into Taurus, even as the Sun enters Gemini (a sign of endless fascination and curiosity). Just to top it all off, Mars enters Aries on the 24th, just raising the activity levels to a dull roar of activity and engagement.

On May 15th/16th we have a Total Lunar Blood Moon Eclipse. The eclipse will at least be partially visible in many parts of the world, with greatest visibility in the eastern part of North America, and all of South America (and Antarctica as well). At 25º of Scorpio, this can indicate a turning point with profound consequences. Eclipses can often represent turning points in our lives. But often not without having to let go of the previous shore.

On May 10th, Mercury will station for its retrograde phase at 4º Gemini 52’. And just 12 hours later Jupiter will emerge out of the depths of Pisces and into the fiery and righteous sign of Aries, ready to fight for justice and slay the giants.

We are in the throes of Eclipse Season, with the Solar Eclipse on Saturday, April 30th at 10º Taurus, conjunct Uranus, the agent of sudden (and sometimes inexplicable) change. But with an underlying theme of great fortune as Venus and Jupiter will make an exact conjunction the same day.

We are approaching Eclipse Season which begins with the Solar Eclipse on April 30th. But even before then we’ve been navigating the station of Pluto which was square (at cross quarters with) the recent Full Moon.

Our deepest Wounds are laid bare with this Moon, so that they can no longer be denied. Libra is a sign of relating and peace. It is a sign of detente. But the Full Moon is also shining a light on Eris and the Aries Sun in full battle gear. The Libra Full Moon in this guise can therefore also be about open warfare and confrontation. All the more so with Pluto caught in the cross hairs of the full Moon.

It takes only a few individuals to create a center of attraction. Therefore under the aegis of the Jupiter/Neptune conjunction on April 12th, make it a point to be a center for incalculable good, profound idealism, humanitarian ethics, socially just kindness, and conscientious compassion. When we come to realize that we are not alone, and that we are all here struggling together in this great cosmic ocean we call life, we can accomplish so much more than we ever could on our own.

Falling in the wee hours of the day here in New York City, the New Moon in Aries takes place on April 1st at 2:25 AM; that’s 7:25 AM in Universal Greenwich Time, and 11:25 PM on March 31st in Pacific Time. It is closely conjunct Chiron and Mercury this year, adding another story to this Moon of New Beginnings.
