Theme: Exploration

The Moon has moved into Sagittarius, the sign of adventure, whether it’s adventuring in the natural environment or wrestling with ideas. However, don’t over do it! The Moon is opposite the Sun today inviting you to not react, and let go frustrations. Instead take time to hydrate and self-care. You have the chance to put the past behind you and find an extra boost of energy during the day.

Theme: Remembering

The nature of communication is becoming more grounded after a ‘zippity doo dah’ ride with Jupiter conjunct Mercury. Mercury has moved into the sign of Cancer bringing a focus on connections with family and the past. It also encourages imagination, empathy and memory retention. Conversely there is heightened sensitivity to criticism. With the Moon trine the Saturn/Neptune conjunction there are opportunities for establishing new habits and rituals – and finding some spaciousness to do so.

Theme:    Be Careful

Uranus and Mars move closer and will be exactly square on 6/14 which can bring violent revolution against authorities. This can happen on an outer level affecting many or on a personal level.
Uranus brings the desire for complete change, the wish to break free from restriction or tyranny. If you feel that you want radical change but have been unable to bring it about previously it may happen in a more explosive way. As the transit builds you may feel a greater level of frustration, so calm your irritability and temper as best you can.
This transit definitely has the potential for violence, avoid crowds and gatherings when possible. Health may be affected due to stress buildup causing cardiovascular incidents.

“ Stabilizing the mind meditation – the first step is to learn to breathe naturally and to watch the breath at the same time. Now to watch the breath, put very light attention on your breathing.” Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Theme:    Opening the Heart

As the Moon moves into Scorpio today it forms a T- square with Venus and Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio. Expect the day to be emotionally charged. The Moon/ Venus transit allows the ability to give and receive as changes occur in our main relationship.  Changes are already occurring so it is up to us to change our emotional patterns that stunt our growth in intimacy.
When open to transformation our responses will be profoundly different. A difficult aspect of Mars square Uranus is brewing and will likely force changes in our lives if we don’t embrace the opportunities for change now.

Theme: Opportunities

The Sun is trine the Moon today presenting more opportunities than usual, or at least a smoother path to your destination. Enjoy Gemini moments: be curious, communicative and responsive to any news and offers that come your way. However, with Saturn remaining in conjunction with Neptune get a second set of eyes on any contracts you plan to sign.

Theme: Finding the middle ground

The Moon moves into Libra today steering us towards equilibrium – but the challenge remains to find the right balance. Goldilocks was definitely a Libran – seeking to find the right kind of bed to sleep on – not too hard, not too soft: decisions decisions! But Libran energy is also about socializing and connecting with others – especially one to one. Today the dampers are a little closed on Libran flow with Saturn opposing the Moon bringing feelings of frustration to the fore. Focus instead on how you can better fulfill your responsibilities. Saturn is always about cause and effect so putting energy in produces results.

The Moon is Void of Course between 7.11am and 9.38am. Avoid signing major contracts during this time. Find space to contemplate and reflect.

Theme: Old acquaintances

The Moon conjunct the south node brings the past into the present including meetings with significant contacts from your past. Venus conjunct Chiron provides you with opportunities to explore what limits you in feeling connected to others. Neptune sits between Saturn and Ceres showing how limitations are not limiting when it comes to being generous towards others.

Theme: Attention to details

The Moon in Virgo enables your actions to focus on small but important achievements, including attention to your personal health and your care of more vulnerable beings including animal friends. The first quarter phase of the moon is a growth period. The Sun in Gemini is approaching Mercury increasing communications with beneficial purpose. It’s a restorative, more optimistic time when good decisions can be made.

Theme:      Facing Challenges

Today being the first day of June, probably won’t go unnoticed. If you have been resisting change you may be forced to by some challenging transits between Moon, Mars and Uranus. It will be hard to find equanimity as most things can trigger you either to lose your temper or be the recipient of someone else losing theirs.
Authorities and restraints are hard to bare and situations can become explosive.
The positive side of this transit is if you’ve been ready to make changes and you have the will to do so, you can really cut through old patterns that have been holding you back.
Looking forward Jupiter moves from Gemini into Cancer on 6/10. This is also the last month of  Uranus in Taurus as it moves into Gemini on 7/8. It is the final planet of five that have moved signs since November last year, heralding a new age and generation.

The Moon is Void of Course from 7.38pm until 11.00pm EDT. Do not make any major decisions during this time period

Theme:    Seeing the Shadows Clearly

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.”
