As the Sun arrives in Gemini today, it receives an infusion from Neptune (idealism) and the asteroid Ceres (nourishment) in Aries. This looks to me like an awareness of what others need, and the willingness to actively support and feed those them. Yet between now and the Gemini New Moon on May 26, Saturn enters Aries -- emphasizing why nourishing actions now will matter in the long run.
We're in the heart of Taurus season! Yet planets are also gathering in fire signs, adding a sense of energy to this earthy month, until the Sun enters Gemini. You can either watch my video interview with Luigi or read the highlights in written form.
Energizing planets moving forward in fire signs! Can you feel it? A sense that forward progress -- maybe even (gasp!) momentum -- is not only possible, but potentially enjoyable? Are areas of your life or your psyche that had been intensely feeling and absorbing and reacting for a long time finally starting to dry out, spark up, or stabilize? Even if your answer is "no," feeling into the fiery energy could prove illuminating.
The keynote for the degree of this New Moon reads, "The value of anticipating and preparing for expectable conditions." Yet the future is not a foregone conclusion, and there are variations and layers of "expectable conditions" we can prepare for. I offer these horoscopes for your Sun & sigins signs as a way to stay grounded while you thread that needle.
Sometimes when I'm trying to write about the current astrology, it suddenly hits me that I'm basically living the dynamics at play. Writing about this Full Moon was one of those times -- annoyingly -- marked by the irritation and continual adjustment described by the chart's overarching aspect pattern.
We're building toward a Full Moon on Saturday across the signs Aries and Libra, emphasizing relationship dynamics and the balance (or lack thereof) between "me as an individual" and "us together." At the same time, Venus (ruler of Libra) will station direct in late Pisces.
We are swiftly closing in on the second eclipse of this season's pair: a partial solar eclipse with the Aries New Moon on Saturday, March 29. This eclipse is an opportunity to adjust and revise your attitude toward what you want -- and let your actions follow from there as this new cycle begins.
Tonight's lunar eclipse opens the portal to "The Eclipse Zone": the two weeks between a pair of eclipses, which can feel like a time warp: strangely compressed, with life somehow distinctly different on the other side. These horoscopes should help you get oriented.
The Pisces symbol is two fish bound together yet swimming in opposite directions. We have the same task before us: to be fully present with reality while still fully in touch with our soul. These horoscopes are intended to help you do just that.
I'm not a football fan. But the proximity of the recent Super Bowl to this morning's Leo Full Moon brought to mind a perfect image to describe how this Moon is operating in our current social-political moment -- and in your personal interactions.
