5/17 (Sun)

New Growth and Fun in the Sun with the Taurean Sun trine Jupiter (27°13′ Taurus-Capricorn). A Mellow Yellow day filled with sensuality which calls for you to get out into the sunshine and enjoy all that nature offers. Our forced winter isolation hibernation is at an end, time to get out and enjoy yourself. Feel the sun and the wind on your face and stretch your muscles. It is time to get out of your sweat pants and get off the couch.

5/20 (Wed)

The Sun enters Gemini at 9:49 AM EDT. This is a time for you to learn something new. Expand your mind. Do some research! Take a free course online at Coursera! Mix it all up and keep your noodle in shape.

It is also a great time to take day trips with your healthy friends and family. Go somewhere new! Head somewhere that fires all your brain triggers and get a natural high!

Venus square Neptune (20°39′ Gemini-Pisces). The Artist, Venus merges with Neptune, divine inspiration. They meet on the square and it is time for you to turn the corner and be on the level.

It is time to see the divine in you so you may, in turn, see the divine in the world. What is the lesson we all have to learn during this pandemic?  With Venus in Gemini, it is time to make something, be creative. Let your soul talk to you and create an amazing meal, start your book, pick up your paintbrushes again, play a song, sing something, and always dance! Even if you have two left feet…Remember, in time as robots take over more and more jobs, even the white-collar ones (Accountants beware…), those who will make the real money will be those who are creative.

So beware of naysayers. Don’t let anyone talk you out of that creative endeavor, but don’t jump down the rabbit hole and lose touch with the tangible balance of life. Create something new in which society can digest and embrace!

5/22 (Fri)

Gemini New Moon

May’s New Moon lines up at 1:39 PM EDT (2°4′ Gemini).  You have been on a roll since Wednesday! Time has flown by! Travels with friends and family have gotten into full swing! Also, the sap is flowing and your creative endeavors are still bursting at the seams. 

Aspects

Grand Trine

The Moon and Sun form a Grand Trine with Juno, Pallas Athena, Jupiter, and Saturn. The luminaries also square Mars and Ceres.

Jupiter and Mars are pushing on the Gemini Sun. themes already mentioned. The Mars-Ceres conjunction brings up some Social Duty Guilt. That guilt feeling of taking a day off, spending your time frivolous, wasting time on being a poor artist soul, and so on. Those who make you feel guilty, in person or in your head, only do so to see you stand up to that thought; so they can stand up to it as well.

I dance everywhere! I mean everywhere. Once a guy came up to me and poked me in the shoulder and said I look weird! I said ‘I know, but I am having fun’ with a large smile and I went back to dancing. You know what he said next week when he saw me? ‘Why are you not dancing; I love it when you dance...’; by not confronting him the prior week, beyond a smile, I might have encouraged him to do something he always wanted to do, but thought someone would chide him if he did. After 20 years of psychology, I found out what helped people the most was inspiration, inspiration of being your true self everywhere! Everywhere!

Once you stand up to Social Duty, the Thou Shalt Dragon as Nietzsche calls it, abundance flows in! It is a time for Herbie to realize he does not have to make toys, but he can become a dentist! Each scale on the dragon in the cave says thou shalt not. In some cases, the dragon is your parent, your boss, spouse, or child who acts like Lucifer chiding Christ for his isolation in the desert for not being at the call of his disciples and apostles. Dragons guard treasures they can not use. They guard princesses they can not marry… The treasure is that creative endeavor you have been doing since Wednesday that has been in the dark and the princess is your emotions that have been knotted up since childhood.  Be sympathetic to the Dragon though, for, in reality, he is a stuck prince or princess in another cave with another Dragon hoarding over their trapped treasure.

This pandemic isolation was a call to find yourself. Rethink your career!  Act upon it!

The Grand Trine offers harmonious support. Give your loved ones time to accept the new you! In return accept or encourage the new person to unfold in them. Be their inspiration. Remember the guy who said I looked weird dancing...

Sabian Symbol

The Sabian Symbol for this New Moon is social! Be safe though! Jam outside where you can have your personal space. Take a hike in a park and say hi to all you see, you never know what will spark a conversation or a new friendship! Go kayaking with some old friends. Wash your hands and throw the Frisbee back and forth. Take a bike ride with your family. Go fishing!

5/25 (Mon)

Darth Vader is dead! Anakin is alive!

What! Darth Vader was a man who lived by his persona, his uniform, his mask. He followed an emperor, his Dragon! Luke who entered the cave and confronted the man in the helmet only realized it was himself he was fighting. Our faults, personas, helmets if we are not careful we give to our children to continue the family business, never living our own lives. There might be 7 generations of children in caves with their own Dragons.  

It has become harder and harder to be the sheep Americans have been famous for being. If you heard it on the news or in the newspaper or from your spouse or boss it used to be gospel!  Now it seems like everything is Fake News, but it is not. It just calls you now to be careful and diligent about what you believe. Do your research and follow your gut! Your inner voice will weed out the truth. Trust it!

Be like Darth Vader, throw the Emperor over the side, and save yourself and your generations! Come out of the Dark Ages and end this hidden Feudal System! 

Most Peasants worked less and made more money than your average middle-class worker today. Slavery was horrible, but housing and food were free. In some ways, we are all free now, but we still slave that overpay for housing and food...

Mars-Uranus sextile (8°12′ Pisces-Taurus), it’s easier to take immediate action Mars call for you to follow moments of divine inspiration on these which Uranus sends your way. Mars calls on the warrior, pioneer, sexual being, or entrepreneur to wave their freak flag! With Mars in Pisces, some kinky sexual activities and creative endeavors flourish all day long!

What has this to do with the beginning of the day’s horoscope? You have to be really confident to try something new and creative when you are exposed, vulnerable, and naked. Dance naked under the moon in front of someone you love in the suit you were born with. It is a time to hide the mask and costume of your persona and show your true wonderful self!
