Embrace the Summer Kickoff: Harnessing Jupiter in Gemini

Although summer officially begins with the Sun’s entry into Cancer on June 20th, Memorial Day marks its unofficial start. Memorial Day, originally known as Decoration Day, is a federal holiday honoring those who have died in US military service. Across the country, parades and picnics mark this day of remembrance. This year, Jupiter enters Gemini at 7:14 PM EDT on Saturday, May 25th, ushering in a time of intellectual curiosity and growth. Are you planning to travel this summer? Expect to learn and embrace new ways of thinking. Jupiter will remain in Gemini until June 2025. While Jupiter is known for its benevolent influence, we must stay mindful to make the most of this transit. Positively, you can anticipate a surge in intellectual interests and mental expansion. Your mind may explore new and delightful avenues. However, be cautious of potential anxiety and scattered mental energy. It’s crucial to find focus and calm your mind. This could be the perfect time to reinvigorate or start a meditation practice.

Brainstorming sessions, community involvement, and exploring futuristic ideas are all valuable ways to use this energy.

In the early morning, the Moon forms a harmonious trine with Venus and the Sun, enhancing feelings of warmth, affection, connection, and creativity. The Moon trine Venus aspect brings a gentle, loving energy, making it an ideal time to nurture relationships and indulge in activities that bring you joy. Whether spending time with loved ones, enjoying creative pursuits, or pampering yourself, allow this morning to uplift your spirits.

HEALING VULNERABILITIES – Wednesday, May 29, 2024

Today the Moon continues through Aquarius, bringing an atmosphere of intellectual curiosity and social engagement. Activities that involve collaboration, innovation, and humanitarian efforts are called for. This is a great time to connect with friends or groups that share your ideals and vision for the future.

At 1:08 pm EDT, Mars conjuncts Chiron (at 22 degrees Aries), bringing a powerful focus on healing, vulnerability, and personal growth. This aspect can stir up old wounds or highlight areas where you experience deep tenderness. However, it also offers an opportunity for deep healing and the courage to face these issues head-on. Use this time to address unresolved pain and suffering. Plant metaphorical seeds for healing and empowerment. Because this conjunction occurs in Aries, physical activities or outlets can be particularly therapeutic. Pay attention if you have planets or sensitive points near 22 degrees of any Cardinal sign (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn). This will be particularly relevant and personal for you.

At 8:33 pm EDT, the Moon enters sensitive Pisces, shifting the mood toward empathy and intuition. Over the next few days, you will be more sensitive to your emotions and those of others. This is a good time for spiritual practices or simply a time for rest and reflection.

Questions to ask yourself:

1. How will I use the Mars conjunct Chiron conjunction to address and heal old wounds and vulnerabilities today?
2. What innovative projects will I focus on while the Moon is in Aquarius?
3. How will I embrace the intuitive compassionate nature of the Moon in Pisces over the next few days?

REFLECT AND RECALIBRATE – Thursday, May 30, 2024

The Moon remains in Pisces all day, wrapping us in a dreamy, intuitive, and compassionate atmosphere. Slow down, and be gentle and compassionate with yourself and others today. Pisces is the mutable Water sign and is ruled by Jupiter and secondarily by Neptune. When the Moon is here, she encourages us to tune into our inner world, trust our instincts, and connect with our spirituality. Take time for creativity, rest, and gentle self-care.

At 1:12 pm EDT, the Last Quarter Moon phase occurs, marking a time for reflection and reassessment. This phase invites us to evaluate our progress over the past lunar cycle (that began on May 7th) and identify what needs to be released before the next New Moon (June 6th). Consider the outdated beliefs, unproductive habits, and unresolved emotional baggage ready to be released. Use the contemplative energy of the Pisces Moon to engage in activities that promote sensitivity and compassion. Meditation, journaling, or spending time in nature can be particularly beneficial. Allow yourself to embrace a sense of closure and prepare for a fresh start as the current lunar cycle winds down.

Questions to ask yourself:

• What practices will I incorporate to make the most of the reflective energy of this Last Quarter Pisces Moon?
• How will I use the intuitive and compassionate energy of the Pisces Moon to enhance my relationships?
