The Truth Comes out with a Full Moon in Sagittarius and Mercury Enters Gemini

The upcoming full moon in Sagittarius will clearly demonstrate that Gemini season is in full swing, as I pointed out in my tweet of May 20, 2018:

The sun moves into air sign of Gemini today and communication becomes more important. We can also become engaged in more multi-tasking. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) May 20, 2018

Gemini is the sign associated with communication, since it is ruled by Mercury and when the full moon in 8 degrees of Sagittarius opposes the Gemini sun on May 29, 2018, the truth about many matters may emerge.  Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, and is associated with courage, wisdom, adventure and higher consciousness.  This full moon has the potential to be very positive with a host of favorable aspects in play that day and a strong theme of surging forward.  The only fly in the ointment is a slight tendency for judgmentalism, opinionated views and an inclination to be somewhat blunt in communications. And Mercury enters the sign of Gemini at 7:49 p.m. on May 29^th to boot.

What is going on astrologically on May 29^th?  We have not one, but two Grand Trines happening that day.  There is a grand trine in water featuring Jupiter in 15 degrees of Scorpio, Neptune in 16 degrees of Pisces and Venus in 11 degrees of Cancer.  On May 25, 2018 Jupiter in Scorpio trined Neptune in Pisces, which was an extremely positive aspect that favors luck, generosity and compassion.  We are fortunate enough to get another hit of this aspect on August 19, 2018.  But with Venus joining the party on the day of a full moon in Sagittarius to form a grand water trine, we are truly blessed with inspirational and creative energy.  A grand water trine ensures that emotion, sensitivity and intuition will be very strong on this full moon.

We also have a grand fire trine involving the moon in 8 degrees of Sagittarius, Chiron in 1 degree of Aries and the north node in 7 degrees of Leo.  Full moons represent a time of culmination and a big part of this may be letting go of old emotional wounds from the past (represented by Chiron, the Wounded Healer) in order to move forward.  The north node in Leo is gives us the courage to tackle those wounds and press on our path.  The north node inherently wants to go forth and the full moon’s supportive sextile to the south node in 7 degrees of Aquarius gives it another boost to release that past karmic baggage. A grand fire trine is creative, inspirational, self-expressive and spontaneous. 

The combined efforts of these two grand trines supplies the energy to really communicate about long-standing issues and release them once and for all as we strive to move forward.  These two grand trines working together can be extremely beneficial.  The full moon is also forming a supportive sextile to Mars in 4 degrees of Aquarius, providing the impetus to act on those desires for growth and change.

The only other potential alarming factor on this full moon is the influence of the ongoing Mars in Aquarius square to Uranus in Taurus.  I certainly hope that there are no more volcanoes erupting, but Mars squaring Uranus in Taurus, the sign of the earth, is a clear manifestation of that kind of energy.  Mars squaring Uranus has a rebellious quality and there is tendency to act rashly without regard for the consequences.  We could be hearing some news about disruption and violence on this full moon, but that is not set in stone.  I’m just saying don’t be surprised if that kind of news emerges.

Mercury is entering its home sign of Gemini on May 29^th and true to its mercurial nature, it will be a brief transit, only lasting until June 12, 2018.  Mercury in Gemini is communicative, curious and sociable.  Don’t be surprised if your social life speeds up considerably while both the sun and Mercury are in Gemini.  Mercury in Gemini is not the best time to be focused on a long-term goal, as we are more inclined to dabble in superficial knowledge about a variety of subjects and are easily distracted.  It does give us more mental flexibility and information will flow more quickly, which could lead to new perspectives. Keeping an open mind is the key to reaping the rewards of Mercury in Gemini.

If you are curious as to how all of the planetary changes, including eclipses, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn retrograde, Jupiter in Scorpio, Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus will be affecting you in 2018, please consider getting an astrological reading.  A transit reading might be just what you need right now to make the most of Jupiter in Scorpio.  Jupiter transits are all about taking advantage of opportunities and if you snooze you lose with Jupiter.  You have to be aware and strike while the iron is hot.

Happy Memorial Day to everyone in the United States!

Venus Enters Cancer and the Sun Enters Gemini

I know that many of us are still reeling (hopefully in a good way) from the recent new moon in Taurus occurring on the same day as Uranus entering Taurus on May 15, 2018, when I tweeted:

Uranus enters Taurus today for the first time in 84 years. Prepare for changes in our values,resources and the earth. Anyone with planets in early degrees of fixed signs feels it the most. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) May 15, 2018

We have a really powerful #NewMoon in Taurus today that trines both Mars and Pluto in Capricorn. Lots of earth energy to plant seeds for new endeavors. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) May 15, 2018

But there is more movement in the astrological landscape.  On May 19, 2018, Venus enters the sign of Cancer until June 13, 2018.  Venus in Cancer is going to deliver a whole new spin on love and finances.  Don’t be surprised if you wind up feeling more nurturing and self-protective.  Home and family will be become much more important as our homes become a sanctuary.  It will be a time of nesting and some may decide to splurge on home improvements.

But Venus in Cancer can be an emotional roller coaster because of increased sensitivity and impressionability.  We can become more moody and hurt feelings could result as words can be taken too seriously and in the wrong vein. The positive side of Venus in Cancer is that we will feel more affectionate and show our love through devotion, care and concern for the well-being of others.  Since Venus rules finances as well as love, it might be a good time to buy someone you love a nice gift.  Venus in Cancer is all about what makes you feel safe and secure, so enjoy knowing that this transit is a perfect time for staying in your comfort zone.

On the following day, May 19, 2018, the Sun enters the light and airy sign of Gemini until June 21^st.  This is going to change the whole energy of how we function in our daily lives and where we direct our focus.  Gemini is an air sign which is motivated by obtaining knowledge and diversity.  We are going to feel more sociable, curious, intellectual, communicative and versatile while the sun is in Gemini.  It will be a great time to meet new people and multi-tasking will be a major theme.  It is also a prime opportunity to purchase items related to communication, such as computers, cell phones, books and journals to record our thoughts and feelings.

The down side of the sun in Gemini is that we can become too scattered in trying to do too many things at once and be perceived as unreliable.  The sun in Gemini can trigger some anxiety if we over-analyze or try to do too much.  Antidotes to this anxiety include yoga, meditation or escapist television. But the perks of the sun in Gemini include favoring communication, writing and maybe being able to finish tasks that we previously started, such as spring cleaning.  Because when the sun leaves Gemini on June 21, 2018, summer will be officially here.

I’d also like to share an interesting story about my experience with the new moon in Taurus, which fell in my 8^th house of joint resources.  On May 14^th an astrology client emailed me to purchase another reading but said that she couldn’t find it on my site.  I checked and discovered to my horror that the link to my Services Offered on my home page was missing, so I fixed it and the client purchased a reading.  She also mentioned me in a video on her YouTube channel.  You can check it out at:

https://youtu.be/9UYStwtfzPo

Needless to say, I am very grateful to Melanie at Whole Again 1111 because not only did she alert me to a problem with my site, which has since resulted in more views, but she referred another client to me.  So it was a financially beneficial new moon in Taurus for me.  I hope that many of you reaped some benefits from this new moon as well.

If you are curious as to how all of the planetary changes, including eclipses, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn retrograde, Jupiter in Scorpio, Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus will be affecting you in 2018, please consider getting an astrological reading.  A transit reading might be just what you need right now to make the most of Jupiter in Scorpio.  Jupiter transits are all about taking advantage of opportunities and if you snooze you lose with Jupiter.  You have to be aware and strike while the iron is hot.

A New Moon in Taurus and Uranus Entering Taurus Amplify the Taurus Energy

Save the day of May 15, 2018 because there are big changes afoot astrologically that day.  We have a new moon in 24 degrees of Taurus at 7:48 a.m. and at 11:16 a.m. Uranus enters the sign of Taurus briefly until November 6, 2018.  The new moon in Taurus contains strong themes of being centered and grounded as we tap into our resources (Taurus is a money sign, after all, ruled by Venus) of strength and self-worth. It is also forming a favorable trine to Mars in Capricorn before Mars leaves Capricorn on May 16^th for an extended stay in the sign of Aquarius due to an upcoming Mars retrograde on June 26, 2018.  Mars will re-enter Capricorn on August 12, 2018, station direct in 28 degrees of Capricorn on August 28, 2018 and re-enter Aquarius on September 10, 2018 and remain in Aquarius through November 15, 2018.  The last time Mars entered the sign of Aquarius was on November 8, 2016, which was the date of the Presidential election in the United States.  A new moon in Taurus trining Mars in Capricorn will allow us to act favorably in terms of implementing new beginnings in the areas of material concerns, whether they be environmental or financial. Opportunities abound on that day to plant the seeds for new endeavors, either literally or figuratively.

The new moon in 24 degrees of Taurus also forms a favorable trine with Pluto in 21 degrees of Capricorn.  This aspect can cause us to have intense and deep experiences that ultimately result in positive transformation.  Don’t be afraid of this energy.  Another aspect that affects this new moon is the trine between Jupiter in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces.  Although it is not exact until May 25, 2018, many of us have been feeling its effects since the beginning of May.  This positive, flowing aspect will encourage hope, generosity and compassion.  It will foster themes of social justice and selflessly helping others.

I know that I described Taurus as a money sign and for me personally, it falls in my 8^th house of joint resources (aka other people’s money) and directly opposes my Venus in Scorpio in my 2^nd house of personal finances and values.  This should definitely be interesting…

Uranus will enter Taurus for the first time in 84 years, due to its long cycle of spending approximately 7 years in a sign.  Uranus last entered Taurus in June of 1934, when the world was dealing with the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, fascism, the rise of dictators and the emergence of World War II.  Uranus briefly re-entered Aries in October 1934 but returned to the sign of Taurus to stay until May 1942.

I believe that we have some interesting parallels between now and that last transit of Uranus in Taurus.  Uranus will station retrograde in 2 degrees of Taurus on August 7, 2018 and will re-enter Aries on November 6, 2018.  Ironically, this is Election Day in the United States. Granted, it is mid-term elections, but we could see a shake-up on some levels in our government on that day. Uranus will re-enter Taurus for seven years on March 6, 2019.  So Uranus will remain in Taurus until April 2026.

When Uranus re-enters Aries, we will have the opportunity to revisit themes from its transit in the sign of Aries, which initially began in March 2010 and then again from March 2011 to 2018.  For many people (myself included), Uranus in Aries was all about reclaiming personal power.  Hopefully we will all get some closure on our power issues during the last hit of Uranus in Aries from November 2018 through early March 2019.

Uranus in Taurus will have themes of security and stability, which is not exactly compatible with the Uranus desire for change, growth and awakening. There can definitely be a real push pull experience with Uranus in Taurus. Uranus is known as the Great Awakener, after all. Whatever you thought was secure and stable (Taurus) will come up for review as you are called to let go of your security blanket and take more risks.  It will be a time to move out of our comfort zone.

On a global level, Uranus in Taurus can force us to pay attention to how we treat the earth.  I don’t want to be a doomsayer, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more earthquakes and natural disasters when Uranus is in Taurus.  But we could also see more revolutions in the tech industry and in medical research.

Since Taurus is a money sign, we could see new forms of currency arriving too. There could be changes in banking, housing and the stock market.  When Uranus was in Taurus back in 1935, Jupiter was also in Scorpio, where it is right now.  In 1935 the Banking Act was passed and Social Security was implemented. We also had rationing during World War II during the last reign of Uranus in Taurus.

I am by no means predicting another World War, but I think that we can all see some very interesting parallels between now and the last transit of Taurus from 1934 through 1942.  The changes in our values, security and sense of stability are coming.  Hopefully we will learn from the mistakes of the past and be inspired by the positive changes that the last transit of Uranus in Taurus delivered.

If you are curious as to how all of the planetary changes, including eclipses, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn retrograde, Jupiter in Scorpio, Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus will be affecting you in 2018, please consider getting an astrological reading.  A transit reading might be just what you need right now to make the most of Jupiter in Scorpio.  Jupiter transits are all about taking advantage of opportunities and if you snooze you lose with Jupiter.  You have to be aware and strike while the iron is hot.

Taurus Season is in Full Bloom

May is officially here and it finally appears that spring has sprung, so I think that we can safely say it is time to celebrate the season of Taurus until May 20^th.  We still have an upcoming new moon in Taurus on May 15, 2018 and Uranus enters the sign of Taurus on the same day, but more on that later.

The sun in Taurus is a time of plants taking root and it also indicates that we have the strength and tenacity to follow through on projects that we may have started in a half-cocked fashion while the sun was in Aries.  Yes, it can be a time of hard work, but it also a perfect time to delight in the senses and indulge in sensual pleasures because Taurus is ruled by Venus.  The theme of hard work was apparent in the recent full moon in Scorpio on April 29, 2018, when I tweeted:

Todays #FullMoon in Scorpio forms a supportive sextile to Saturn in Capricorn as the Taurus sun trines Saturn. Good energy for reflection and planning long term changes. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) April 29, 2018

The sun in Taurus is also an excellent opportunity to do what you need to do make yourself happy.  Sometimes that means saying no and setting some boundaries in relationships. We just need to be mindful not to be too possessive or stubborn because after all, the bull is the symbol for Taurus. While there are no major astrological events until the new moon and Uranus briefly entering Taurus on May 15^th, there are some interesting aspects coming up.  On May 5, 2018, there is a very productive trine between the moon in Capricorn and the Taurus sun.  This energy can be very grounding, but that Capricorn moon is very busy this weekend.  It also squares Mercury in Aries on May 5^th, which can result in some blunt, harsh communications.  And it conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn, which can unearth some deep rooted emotions, obsessions and compulsive behaviors.  Adding to the mix on that day is the fact Mercury in Aries is inconjunct Jupiter in Scorpio, which can definitely lend a tone of irritability to our weekend. On May 6. 2018, that Capricorn moon conjuncts Mars in Capricorn and squares off with Uranus in Aries.  Don’t be surprised if there are sudden angry outbursts.  Tempers could flare that day.

On May 7, 2018, Mercury in Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn.  If you have any planets around 20 degrees in the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, you will feel the effects of this aspect big time.  This could play out as secretive communications and some downright manipulative behavior.  Venus in Gemini is also squaring Neptune in Pisces that day, which fuels the themes of deceit and illusions in relationships and financial matters.  Venus in Gemini is conjunct my moon on that day and Neptune is squaring it, so I am not exactly anticipating a day of total clarity in relationships or finances.

The sun in Taurus is opposing Jupiter in Scorpio on May 8, 2018 in 18 degrees of the respective signs.  This aspect occurs once a year and this year anyone with planets around 18 degrees of the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio will feel it the most. I am a member of that club, with my sun in 19 degrees of Scorpio.  The big life force energy of the sun is in direct opposition to the bigger, expansive energy of Jupiter as we may find ourselves trying to pull off something really big in terms of achieving our goals.  The thing about Jupiter is that since it loves to do things in a very big way, we may have to watch out for over-enthusiasm, pride, ego blindsiding us and over the top behavior.  It has the potential for overkill on a grand scale.

If you are curious as to how all of the planetary changes, including eclipses, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn retrograde, Jupiter in Scorpio and Chiron in Aries will be affecting you in 2018, please consider getting an astrological reading.  A transit reading might be just what you need right now to make the most of Jupiter in Scorpio.  Jupiter transits are all about taking advantage of opportunities and if you snooze you lose with Jupiter.  You have to be aware and strike while the iron is hot.
