Today's Astrology Forecast | Saturday, May 29th, 2021 - mercury stations retrograde, our Venus story-line needs some review, going backward to go forward, focusing on something else


 

 

The Moon is in serious/sober Capricorn now. She will oppose Mars at 10:35AM EDT (home vs work, mom vs dad, issues about our security/stability. personal/emotional actions vs goals - people might feel more sensitive/appear more pushy - this opposition could slow down a commitment and that might be a good thing), sextile Neptune at 12:13PM EDT (opportunities to feel better via art, music, our imagination, healing, spirituality, being near water). Finally she goes void off a conjunction with powerful Pluto (good for stepping into responsibilities/power, dealing with authority) at 6:14PM EDT. She will be void for the rest of the night.


This is also the day, and we tallked about this in the weekly HERE (check tomorrow also), Venus meets Mercury and then Mercury stations retrograde. 


This could be about a heart-to-heart talk (more mind than heart though). We probably won't come to any solid decisions/answers, even if we think we do, because Mercury immediately stations retrograde, so we are going back over things - need to re-think, re-view, etc. 

 

This could also be about financial information/situations. 

 

With Mercury and Venus in Gemini (24 degrees) there could be more than one way through here or multiple steps/phases needed. Think small. Think local.

 

With both planets squaring a confusing Neptune in Pisces (and we've never had Neptune at his current degree in our lifetime - our lack of familiarity with this will pull in older stories, ancestral/past-life) - it will be hard, impossible, to be certain, and we don't want to be lying to ourselves/being lied to/in lalaland with something.

 

Stay flexible and keep in mind this Neptunian energy cuts both ways. When nothing is certain, much, much more is possible. We DON'T KNOW (because, as I've said before we can't know yet), so we'll keep as many doors and windows open as we can. Next week Mars will oppose Pluto and the following week the Sun will meet Mercury (on the Solar Eclipse!), so some things are set to be demolished/others to come to light as a new story kicks off and an old story ends.

 

In the meantime, Mercury stations retrograde, in his home sign of Gemini, conjunct Venus and squaring Neptune - at 6:34PM EDT. Mercury will be retrograde until June 22nd (hours after the summer solstice).


Time to re-think, re-examine, re-visit, re-vise whatever value/attraction/information Venus has brought us. 



We ignore Mercury retrograde at our own peril. Trying to plow ahead re-gardless will not work. It also won't work to stand still and try to wait Mercury out. We must move our ideas, projects, etc through the process of the retrograde period. We are going backward to go forward now!


So talk/think, make plans, today is an important day and with the Moon in Cappy, we can put on those big girl/boy pants with this stuff. Be less emotional (after the morning Mars opposition) and more pragmatic, which is obviously what is needed because it is what life is offering us.

 

Just keep things flexible. We are in between Eclipses folks! Still in that washing machine's spin cycle.


A way through this thing - Uranus is trining (brakes off) Vesta today for the third and final time. Taurus/Virgo at 12 degrees. Being practical/focused AND open to change/the future. And conversely the new and innovative being the practical thing. Innovation/doing it differently, but with a specific focus. A new fix. We have been here twice before since the end of November 2020. Vesta has had multiple oppositions to Neptune as we were called via tension/frustration to fix it or forget it AND she has had multiple trines (smooth flow) with Uranus as we are called to focus on the future/change/something different! 

 

What is keeping you up at night? What are the themes of your Taurus and Virgo houses? What do you value NOW?
