May might feel like a bit of an anticlimax after April, though Jupiter conjunct Uranus is still in effect. May starts with the first couple of days having no retrograde planets, then PLUTO turns RETROGRADE until October. Are you in your true power? Or do you always try to be in control? You may find yourself thinking about these issues. Maybe surrender is needed.
8th May is a NEW MOON at 18 degrees TAURUS
. As it’s closely connected to Venus (what you have and what you love) the planet associated with Taurus, as well as Uranus (change, which can be unexpected), you may suddenly find yourself focusing on whether you feel secure enough (Venus), or longing to be pampered (Venus). You may have a run of bright ideas or light bulb “aha’ moments (Uranus).
If you like setting New Moon intentions, how about:-
– my partner and I will massage each other once a week/month….
– I will be more patient, especially with ……..
– I intend to be less stubborn.
– I want to increase my finances and use them wisely.
Close to midnight on 20th May, Australian Eastern Standard Time, the SUN moves from sure-footed Taurus into flighty GEMINI
.
Body parts associated with Gemini are the nervous system, arms, hands, shoulders, lungs. If you are a Gemini you may at some stage of your life, relate to problems in these areas.
Gemini is a Mutable Air sign, so you are flexible and like to think and communicate.
Keywords are adaptive, perceptive, curious, intellectual, good with your hands. Also restless, lacking concentration, easily bored. These also apply if your Moon is in Gemini. You would make a good writer, linguist or salesperson.
On 26th May, expansive Jupiter moves into Gemini, emphasising Gemini characteristics, and for some Geminis, bringing luck!
Happy birth month, Gemini!
A FULL MOON at close to 3 degrees SAGITTARIUS
will occur close to midnight AEST.
This means the Moon in Sagittarius is in opposition to the Sun in Gemini, always bringing some tension or conflict. Maybe there will be issues to do with communication, siblings, travel or our beliefs. Make sure everything is balanced.
Love and blessings
