We start the week with a New Moon in Gemini. New conversations, New ideas. Decisions are LOOMING. With the ruler of Gemini (Mercury), retrograde, this may be more about re-vising/re-deciding something we started to do/think about/discuss earlier this year.
(remember this New Moon, and we talked about this HERE, is well-aligned with Neptune : trust your intuition, meditate/pray for guidance, get enough rest, the Moon is also well-aligned with Jupiter and Mars in Aries, and although this can add volatility/arguments, this will also add courage, energy and the super-power of EXPANSION and LUCK to whatever we are starting)
Our thinking/the conversation/plans might flip around on us toward the end of the week as Mercury stations direct and Saturn retrograde AS THEY SQUARE EACH OTHER. For some, restrictions will come off, others can expect delays.
It might be until Mercury gets back into Gemini on June 13th (a great travel day BTW) or Mercury reaches the degree of Monday's New Moon (June 23rd) when New Moon beginnings can really TAKE OFF.
Don't sit around waiting though - keep moving - but do keep this in mind if things feel stuck/slow.
We have no planets changing signs this week, but we do have two planets changing direction. Something in our lives will be, too.
Let's take a look at the week!
MONDAY - New Moon in Gemini
FRIDAY - Mercury stations direct
SATURDAY - Saturn stations retrograde
SUNDAY - Venus sextile Ceres
On MONDAY - the Gemini Moon meets the Gemini Sun at 9 degrees. We talked about Monday's New Moon HERE. The Moon is Gemini has a better closing aspect than the following Moon in Cancer, so I would get your New Moon intentions done on Tuesday when there's a nice trine to Saturn to close things out.
GEMINI NEW MOON AFFIRMATIONS
This is a great time for affirmations for Gemini themes - movement,
flexibility, wit, communication, logic, writing, social graces and ease,
siblings or cousins, local community issues, teaching/learning, mental anxiety, areas of life
where you are seeing double or doing two things at once or need to choose between two things, our nervous
system, hands, wrists, arms, shoulders and our lungs.
AFFIRMATION TIPS: get into a good frame of mind - always make affirmations from a positive place (meaning both happy and certain) - write your affirmations down by hand in script, speak them out loud - then release your attention from them knowing that your intention is known. Know what you seek is seeking you (Rumi). Know these things are already yours.
On FRIDAY - Mercury stations direct!
This will be at 26 degrees Taurus, yes, right on malevolent fixed star Algol, so activating last year's BIG Taurus Lunar Eclipse from mid-November 2021 and the HUGE Solar Eclipse in Scorpio (life and death) from mid-May 2022 that we talked about HERE.
Born 23 years apart, BOTH, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have their natal Venus (Goddess of Love) at 26 degrees Taurus on Algol (wth, is it any wonder they fell head over heels in love - lost their heads - and then chopped off each other's heads!), so I would expect their trial to be winding up this week. Her birth time isn't known, but he has some nice 9th house (legal) transits that will make him hard to beat in a courtroom. Going to get a post up about them this week. It's fascinating.
Mercury is stationing direct in a square (which will not perfect) to Saturn, who will station retrograde tomorrow. So, even as something moves forward, it is possible to still be dealing with delays and limits for a while longer.
Still, choices/decisions WILL BE MADE. And Mercury is moving forward, so are we.
On SATURDAY - Saturn stations retrograde at 25 degrees Aquarius (until late October). People with planets points from around 25-29 degrees Aquarius will feel this easing off, as daddy Saturn takes his annual sabbatical. Saturn will get back to 22 degrees Aquarius before stationing direct, so those of us with planets/points from around 19-25 degrees Aquarius might feel restrictions/limits increase or something tighten up as Saturn makes his three-peat (first pass has already happened and that's usually the biggie) over our planets/points. This will also apply to our other fixed planets placements (Taurus, Leo and Scorpio) as he squares and opposes them.
And, if we were born with Saturn retrograde, and so the need to face up to certain responsibilities in this lifetime we have previously avoided, we will feel his retrogrades more intensely, too.
For everyone else, and for all of us collectively, Saturn's station will either:
1. ease restrictions/limits/traditions (daddy on vacation)
or 2. create delays/pull back support (again, daddy's on vacation).
It just depends on which kind of "daddy" we have via our natal chart!
Saturn retrogrades give us a second chance to get it right/do the right thing.
This is also a time for a second look at our responsibilities, obligations, our support structures, our goals and group situations, our paternal inheritance, our father and daddy issues.
He will station direct in late October and it's report card time.
On SUNDAY, Venus, strong in Taurus, will trine Ceres in Cancer.
This is about love and nurturing. We are attracting the right kind of care. Maybe our 'change of life' situations/spaces where we have felt we had no control are more stable. Hopefully, with Ceres in Cancer, this eases the baby food shortage! The trine is a smooth aspect where things fall into place and could help with certain supply/resources chain issues (maybe especially related to food) and the War in Ukraine (Russia/Ceres, Zelensky/Venus).
Have a nice week everyone!
