weekly astrology forecast | week of may 24th - May 30th, 2021 - a lunar eclipse - a story ends, a door closes, a woman leaves, our beliefs shift, good news comes in, we change our mind, mercury stations retrograde


 

Buckle up - this is a really BIG week!

 

We have the first Eclipse of the year - a total Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius, Mercury stationing retrograde and an uber active Venus. ALL the personal planets are out of bounds now - Mercury, Venus and Mars. With none of the inner planets abiding by the Sun's rules and the Moon being cut off from the Sun's light - 'anything can happen'.

 

A timeline shifts. Into the Eclipse spin cycle we go!


Remember what we said about Gemini season - we must stay flexible, light on our feet, expect minds and situations to change - ours just might this week!


WEDNESDAY - Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse

THURSDAY - Venus squares Neptune

SATURDAY - Mercury conjuncts Venus, Mercury stations retrograde

SUNDAY - Venus inconjuncts Pluto retrograde

 

MAY 26TH - FULL MOON TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE | Sagittarius, 5 degrees 

 

The Sag Moon opposes the Gemini Sun at 5 degrees giving us this month's Full Moon, our annual Full Moon in Sagittarius - happening so near the Moon's nodes makes this one our first eclipse of the year - a total Lunar Eclipse. Like a computer being turned off and on - we get a cosmic rest! This is a releasing eclipse on the South Node - a culmination, an ending, maybe BIG over-the-top results.

 

A DOOR CLOSES. An old story ends. A woman might leave. Our beliefs can change ... just ...like ... that - SNAP!


Maybe, and almost certainly a yes to this - we LEARN something.


Could be we wake up Thursday morning a totally different person than went to bed on Wednesday night (it's happened to me) or maybe the 'new you' comes two weeks from now with the Solar Eclipse in Gemini or maybe because Eclipses work backward, too - this has all already happened!

 

(and yes, that's alot of maybes - it's Gemini season this is how life works now)


Expect a BIG post by sign and house!

 

MAY 27TH - VENUS SQUARES NEPTUNE | Gemini/Pisces, 22 degrees

 

Venus/Neptune wants the fairy-tale/the happy ending. So maybe this is tension/frustration between what we attract (which might be multiple things with Venus in dualistic Gemini) and 'the dream'. The 'facts' vs the illusion. With Venus in Gemini we might make a choice/decision that looks better than it actually is. Are our expectations too high? Are we in love with 'possibility'? Is this relationship all in our head? Confusing information about money, relationships, our values and self-esteem are possible. Sometimes squares to Neptune can bring endings as things slowly drift off course/fade away. This aspect can bring a certain disconnect from what used to give us joy. We might be disappointed in other people/maybe we think someone has let us down. This is also a time to watch our wallet.

 

Keep in mind with squares, that although they are considered a 'hard' aspect, not so easy/smooth as a trine or sextile, they actually encourage/show us a kind of 'discontent' that pushes things to change. 


MAY 29TH - MERCURY CONJUNCTS VENUS | Gemini, 24 degrees | MERCURY STATIONS RETROGRADE | Gemini, 24 degrees

 

So now Mercury meets up with lovely Venus - here is "good news", good for social interactions, letting someone know we love them. Peaceful settlements are reached. The fly in the ointment is Mercury immediately stations retrograde, so if this news is so good - why are we now looking backward? Here is an indication that the "news/information/conversation" is subject to revisions. Some things will need to be ironed out via a back and forth. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but just keep this in mind. This can also be about an old opportunity/something or someone we once loved coming back around, too.


This can also be about us CHANGING OUR MIND - and we might change it more than once!

 

MAY 30TH - VENUS INCONJUNCTS PLUTO RETROGRADE | Gemini/Capricorn, 26 degrees

 

Venus (through us) is a busy girl. 

 

She has been through the hall of mirrors with Neptune, met up with Mercury just before he turned around (hopefully we got some good news) and now she lands between a rock and a hard place with Pluto (in Capricorn).

 

Venus in Gemini has nothing in common with Pluto in Capricorn. Venus wants to go from this to that in Gemini - flirt/spend some money. She is quick and smart, but doesn't like a narrow agenda. Pluto in Cappy is all business/power. Capricorn just pulls up his bootstraps/puts on a stiff upper lip and doesn't understand Gemini's loss of motivation/interest/inability to settle down. This aspect might show up as an intractable issue with authority. A need to take something more seriously than we want to. Love can be controlling. We might try to control someone via a demand for attention. Money can come with strings attached. Manipulations. Maybe the question is how do we get more freedom/variety and still be able to reach our goals/pay our bills? As always with the inconjunct some give and take is needed along with the knowledge there isn't a quick fix here. 

 

Back with the Eclipse post - hold on loosely!
