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.
The Very Worst Thing You Can Do Right Now Is Bore Me.~Dedra Meero, Andor
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. “ If our mind is spacious enough to accommodate our emotions, we will discover their wakeful potential. Recognizing the incredible energy within a feeling such as fear, we become fearless in the face of fear.” Dzigar Kongtrul

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
The Moon is Void of Course from 12.50pm until 4.17pm EDT. Do not make any major decisions during this time period
The Moon in Cancer enables us to find the things that nurture us whether it’s family, friends and/or nurturing spaces and places. Food is an important component of this. The Moon is conjunct a point, named the White Moon, where the Moon is closest to the earth. It illuminates us today in ways that show us how to better self-care and fulfill our potential. Venus is conjunct Chiron showing us where our emotional wounds limit our potential in relationships.
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.
Truth exists; only false hood is to be invented.~ Georges Braque
The Moon is Void of Course between 9.01am and 1.33pm EDST USA. Avoid major new activities especially signing contracts. Rather, focus on existing activities and finding some contemplative, reflective time.
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
With the Moon and Sun conjunct Mercury today expect changing schedules and news from near and far. It’s a good time for communication and thinking through activity. The new Moon brings new energy, enthusiasm and ideas to change things up. Saturn in Aries invites discipline in areas where you are normally impulsive and unbridled. It helps you achieve your goals with sheer hard work! There are no short-cuts wherever Saturn is – but effort does bring reward.
Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so!~Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker;s Guide to the Galaxy.
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.
