On the last day of May, the Leo Moon radiates warmth and generosity, allowing our creativity to arise. Sun and Mercury are conjoined in Gemini infusing our minds and communications with vitality. Sharp focus allows expression of ideas that can inspire our audience. Pluto trines both planets allowing us to go deeply into our shadow side and understand how it operates in our life, moving towards regeneration and rebirth in time. “ Even when we taste suffering for ourselves we may still prefer to hold on to our small world rather than face the unknown.” Dzigar Kongtru
Saturn, the spiritual teacher, who teaches through limitation, boundaries, structure and separation is now in Aries, which is considered in its fall. Aries is the confident ME, therefore I am, on a basic level bursting with enthusiasm and confidence. Expect confidence to be bound and curtailed as it is challenged on some level over the next two and a half years. Neptune and Saturn are conjunct in Aries until 1st of September. Both planets will retrograde to Pisces once more over the last few months of the year and resume their journey together in Aries by mid February 2026. Neptune is the antithesis of Saturn and about the dissolving of all boundaries. Neptune operates on a universal level breaking down separation between self and other to open us to greater compassion. If we use this time to develop spiritually our mind and heart may open. If we resist, it will be hard to maintain our sanity. “ Practitioners who train in courage become true warriors. The war we wage is not with enemies outside ourselves but with the powerful forces of our own habitual tendencies and negative emotions.” Dzigar Kongtrul

Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.~David Richo
Saturn conjunct Neptune offers lessons at this time for everyone. It reflects both a dissolution of old outdated structures and finding space to let the new nascent patterns to emerge. These patterns eventually form into useful structures if they are harnessed for good. At this time you need to adhere more closely to ethics and virtuous habits to ward off both self-deception and deception by others. The Moon moves into Cancer today reminding us of the importance of finding ones inner home and nurturing place.

With Mercury and the Sun, and the Moon all close to one another in Gemini it’s a ‘moment to moment’ kind of thing: short-excursions, writing and sending messages are all part of the equation. Gemini is a mutable sign which means shifting and changing and identifying flexible avenues to reach your destination. It’s a good day to tread with a lighter step. Saturn and Neptune remain conjunct in Aries which poses structural challenges to whatever personal planets lie in it’s path – particularly planets in early degrees in the cardinal signs of Aries, Libra, Cancer and Capricorn.
The real meaning of luminosity is a lucid knowing. It is awareness free from darkness.~ Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

It helps you achieve your goals with sheer hard work! There are no short-cuts wherever Saturn is – but effort does bring reward.

The Moon is Void of Course between 9.52am and 1.21pm. Avoid major decisions including signing contract signing. Spend time attending to the ‘small is beautiful’ part of your life.
The Moon moves into Taurus today slowing down our emotional reactions and helps to maintain stability. It’s easy to find inner contentment when connecting with nature. There is security in predictability but Taurus can often bring out our stubborn side and resistance to change. This could be exacerbated as Moon squares Mars allowing irritability to surface. Be careful when working with sharp metal instruments, accidents can occur when acting out of haste or frustration. “ Learning to relax and dance reduces our fear and brings space and awareness to habitual responses.” Dzigar Kongtrul
Mercury conjunct Uranus is a fast tempo transit, ideas and communications are sped up. Intuition, puzzles and research are all in the mix but be careful not to get too scattered. Excitement may lead to burnout of the nervous system, or bring errors in judgment. Group work can also come up with creative solutions to problems that had previously seemed unsolvable. “ Being present brings contentment. We don’t need to look for a better thought, a better emotion, or a better place to be.” Dzigar Kongtrul
The Moon is Void of Course from 7.44am until 1.38pm EDT. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Either you or someone in your circle can inspire and lead others. Your physical energy should be more vibrant than usual, giving you the confidence and courage to tackle new projects. There may be some level of study or research involved with what you are doing. Pluto’s influence assists in maintaining focus and concentration.
