New Moon in Taurus Monday

“The act of perception is always open ended and unfinished.” David Abrams

There is a very powerful New Moon tomorrow – Monday 5/18 EDT at 29 Taurus. It a good time to look at how you care for and nurture yourself along the road of life. Some good questions to ask would be- What would bring more joy into your life and how do you plan to create that? How well are you using your inner and outer resources to attain your aspirations? And how much do you believe in yourself and your abilities? Is that in need of updating? If any of these questions need addressing now is the time to address them and set intentions for new initiatives.

It is best to process and release the source of any anger or frustration that arises at this time. Jupiter continues to make a beneficent trine to Uranus – bringing very fortunate and sometimes out of the blue opportunities for growth and expansion which can be more easily perceived if you are in a place of optimism and abundance.

Mercury stations retrograde on the day of the New Moon at 13 degrees of Gemini and the Sabian symbol for that is, “Two people at widely different points are in conversation with each other by means of telepathy.” This Mercury retrograde period (through June 12) bodes well for telepathic communication.

Mercury Retrograde in Gemini

The Mad Hatter: ” Why is a raven like a writing desk?”
“Have you guessed the answer to the riddle yet?” the Hatter said, turning to Alice again.
“No I give it up,”Alice replied:” What is the answer?”
“I haven’t the slightest idea,” said the Hatter. ” Lewis Carroll

Mercury, the planet governing communication will station retrograde on May 19 in difficult aspect to the planet of dreams and illusions – Neptune. Mars is in Gemini now and this trio of Mercury, Mars and Neptune is likely to result in a confusing time frame increasing the potential complications of Mercury retrograde periods.

The likelihood of snafus with communication or the interpretation of information is high now. Even if your research has led you to believe it is all locked up, look again for blind spots or missing information.

Double check that emails, texts etc have been sent and received before jumping to conclusions. Carefully review any legal documents that need to be signed through late June.
It also bodes well to make an extra effort to communicate clearly and slow down when making decisions or moving about in the world.
Mercury will station direct June 12.
On the upside this time frame is very good for creative visualization and creative projects as well as spiritual growth.

Mars moves into Gemini

“The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science.”Albert Einstein

Mars is in Gemini now and the Sabian symbol associated with its degree is, “A glass bottomed boat reveals undersea wonders.” Through the lens of glass on the boat’s bottom, people are able to see and experience a realm normally hidden from view.

It is a good time for intuition. Pay attention to things that can bring a sense of wonder or discovery. With some of the challenging aspects Mars is making now that tend towards overwork and overwhelm – be sure to provide extra down time to access information from higher realms.
