Moon Units for May 21-27, 2012

Riding on the coattails of the Solar Eclipse/New Moon in Gemini, we greet the week with abundant Gemini energy. The Gemini effect will be further enhanced by Mercury’s entrance into Gemini on Thursday morning. Venus is also in Gemini, though currently retrograde. This celestial vibe is one of social interaction, with a bit of flittering thrown in ~ a welcome relief from the heavier energy present elsewhere in the zodiac at this time.

A new moon teaches gradualness and deliberation
and how one gives birth to oneself slowly. ~ Rumi

The New Moon in Gemini on Sunday, the 20th, is a key to the door of communication. In the New phase of Gemini, you may not be 100% sure about what you want to say. A message is molded at the Waxing Crescent phase on Thursday and the ad campaign begins.

 Monday~Tuesday

Clear, thoughtful communication is required by the Moon in GEMINI on Monday. You or others may be confused, foggy, or a bit on the testy side today. Take a hint from Gemini. . .b-r-e-a-t-h-e. . .before believing what you see or hear. It’s a little too easy to dive head first into taking the wrong kind of action based on inconclusive evidence. Don’t jump the gun from the pain of an old wound.

What a week lies ahead!

We have the Sun’s entrance into Gemini on Sunday, the 20th, at 11:16am (EDT). The Moon meets The Twins at 7:06pm and is immediately followed by a New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Gemini at 7:48pm. Prior to all that busy Gemini solar-lunar activity, Venus turns retrograde at 24 Gemini on Tuesday. With an emphasis on the mutable signs, staying flexible is the way to go. Adaptability is the key to release and renewal as the Moon continues to wane through Sunday and also as we move toward accomplishing our New Moon goals in the coming month.

The Moon in PISCES on Monday wakes us with a blend of confidence and compassion. No need to push this morning. The force is already with you. Rodney King asked, “Can’t we all just get along?” Let King’s words serve as a mantra if personal feelings push to overwhelm group dynamics. Blessings are in the air Tuesday morning if you tap into the all for one and one for all vibe.

Super Moon! Scorpio! Full Moon Madness! Cinco de Mayo!

That’ll make a person nervous.

This is the Moon of Secrets. It’s at 16° Scorpio, the second decan, influenced by Pluto and Neptune, classically Mars and Jupiter. This degree of the zodiac is in a part of the sky known as the Heart of the Scorpion with one of the brightest stars in the sky (Antares) at the heart.

Word on the street is that this is a tough celestial neighborhood. You lock your doors when you drive through this neighborhood, if you know what I mean. People who grew up here had a hard scrabble life. They’re tough and fearless. The survivors hope to make it out. Many come back and make a difference.

We greet Monday with a Sagittarius Moon, still bright from the weekend’s Scorpio Moon. Now the Moon has started to wane ~ a signal to begin the process of release.  What seems clear on Monday may have a completely different slant before Sunday’s over.

Emotional issues that came to light with the Scorpio Moon are now glowing in truth under Sagittarian beams. Are those rose-colored glasses you’re wearing? Look for the humor in drastic situations. Some bawdy Sagittarian fun can be just the antidote for any little surprises that pop up. Lively conversation bordered by sincerity can bring everything into perspective.

Moon Units for April 29 – May 5, 2012

 .

We have several important events this week with the Full Moon in Scorpio leading the list. There are also two aspects involving Mercury.

The Moon moves through Leo midday Saturday through evening on Monday. Oh, glorious, rapturous Moon! Watch the ego on Leo days ~ yours and theirs. It’s easy to make it “all about me” on Leo days. Share the love!

By Monday evening the Moon enters practical, precise, analytical Virgo. With the Sun in Taurus now, this is a very grounded energy. Know the details of the facts that back up any strong stances you take. You can’t argue with facts.

The Mediator’s Moon gives us a peek late Wednesday evening as she slips into Libra. Now’s the time to work out a deal if you couldn’t make one earlier. Be fair. The Mercury sextile to Venus on Thursday while the Moon is in Libra is good for sweet talk. Give some compliments and weigh the ones you receive. These are barter days. Everything comes into the light on Saturday. 

The Scorpio Full Moon late Saturday night brings a balance of power to the Taurus Sun. It’s “My Stuff/Your Stuff” time and it can get emotionally charged. The Mercury opposition to Saturn on Saturday can add a big dose of obstinacy to the Taurus/Scorpio vibes of the day. Get your sweet talk in on Thursday.

If you make Moon Water, this is the night! The Scorpio Moon is a great time to charge your Herkimer Diamonds.
