Mercury Enters Gemini, Jupiter Trines Pluto and a New Moon in Gemini

 

Gemini season is officially here and it's about to get bigger! The Sun, Venus and Jupiter are in Gemini and Mercury is on its way to its home sign on June 3. But before Mercury zips into Gemini, it has a major aspect on May 31 as it conjuncts Uranus in 24 degrees of Taurus.  Mercury conjunct Uranus has a nervous energy vibe which can make focusing a little difficult, but it does stimulate our thinking and adds excitement to the mix.  We tend to be more open-minded and insightful.  Unexpected news is possible and our speech could be on the abrupt side. Be careful driving on this day and don't be surprised if electronics start malfunctioning because they could be in overload mode that will feel like Mercury retrograde. But there is no doubt that May 31 could be a day to remember!

On June 2, Jupiter in Gemini will trine Pluto in 1 degree of Aquarius.  This is a really positive aspect that helps to expose truth and has a non-conformist energy.  Both Gemini and Aquarius are air signs that are concerned with the welfare of the people, so it is a very humanitarian vibe.  It can also be beneficial for the economy.  Jupiter trining Pluto can bring empowerment, intellectual curiosity and usher in a period of social change and progress. But it's important to remember that since Jupiter loves to expand whatever it touches, we could be inclined to become somewhat compulsive in our expansion activities.  And these actions might involve removing whatever isn't working for us since Pluto likes to do the big purge.   

Mercury in Taurus has one last aspect on June 2.  It forms a supportive sextile to Neptune in 29 degrees of Taurus.  This is another delightful aspect that fosters creativity, communication and spiritual pursuits.  Our intuition will be heightened on this day, so make the most of it and pay attention to your dreams.  Meditation, socializing and enjoying the arts are also favored on this day.

Mercury enters Gemini, one of its home signs that it rules (the other one is Virgo) for a quick trip on June 3.  It leaves Gemini on June 17, so it's only there for two weeks.  Mercury is definitely in its happy place in Gemini, though.  We are going to be more communicative, social and curious while Mercury is flitting through Gemini.  We will probably take immense pleasure in superficial knowledge by wanting to know a little about more subjects than having in-depth focus on one area.  We can be easily distracted and scattered too because nervous energy is rampant while Mercury is in Gemini.  Mercury in Gemini will trine Pluto in Aquarius on June 4, which will enhance our powers of persuasion. If you have been considering therapy, this day is a cosmic green light to get started because Pluto loves to dig deep and Mercury will be very cooperative on this day.  It seems like so many planets are interacting with Pluto when they change signs, but this, like the aspect with Jupiter, is incredibly positive.

On June 6, we have a New Moon in 16 degrees of Gemini.  There will be five planets in Gemini on this day: the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter.  The New Moon will actually be conjunct Venus, so relationships and finances can be emphasized.  It's always a good idea to set an intention on a New Moon, but a Gemini Moon has a theme of choices and we might see so many possibilities that it can be hard to decide.  Gemini rules the lungs and hands, so if you are feeling ruffled or scattered, exercise or do something with your hands that helps to focus your mind.  The New Moon in Gemini is also squaring Saturn in 19 degrees of Pisces, and here lies the rub.  The Moon squaring Saturn can bring reality to new ideas, but it can also deliver some obstacles in our path.  We need to be aware that things might not turn out as we had planned.  We need to be flexible, as we will probably be changing our minds a lot.  Patience will be required.  Astrologer Anne Ortelee has often said that with Gemini you sometimes need to do it twice (or more) and I also heard astrologer Rose Marcus say on a podcast that Saturn knows best, a pun on the old Father Knows Best television show.  We are going to be faced with a lot of choices and flexibility is best tool we have at our disposal.  Fortunately Gemini is a mutable air sign, so we have that in our favor.  Don't be surprised if you hear people changing their minds a lot and saying one thing one minute and something completely different the next.  Remember to breathe...

The coronavirus outbreak caused me to increase the number of distant Reiki sessions I do because people were concerned about the spread of the infection. I have decided to suspend my in-person Reiki sessions until further notice, so all of my Reiki sessions will be distant Reiki sessions for the foreseeable future. But a distant Reiki session is the perfect opportunity to safely build up your immune system and if you have contracted coronavirus, you can be treated safely from the comfort of your home. My procedure is to have a conversation with a client about what they hope to achieve from a session, we set up a time for the session to take place when they will be in a state to receive healing energy and I follow up with a telephone conversation to discuss their experience and my perception of their blockages. I do miss seeing my clients, so I am now offering Zoom consultations/intakes before the session so that we can see each other. I have also incorporated a new technique with my distance Reiki treatments since I don’t always have a photo of my client.  I use a teddy bear so that I can scan and focus the healing energy where it is needed. If this appeals to you, please feel free to contact me by email at lindasim54@gmail.com or call me at 617-304-2205. The cost for distance Reiki sessions is based on a sliding scale of $30 -$50. For your convenience, I accept Venmo and Zelle for payment. Zelle payments can be sent using my telephone number

617-304-2205. I have also written an article about distance Reiki, which is available at:

Jupiter Enters Gemini for the Next Year and Squares off with Saturn in Pisces

 

Hold on because Jupiter is about to move into Gemini on May 25, 2024 until June 9, 2025.  Jupiter is not at its most comfortable in the mutable air sign of Gemini because it rules the opposite sign of Sagittarius, but all in all, it should not be that bad. Think back to the last time that Jupiter was in Gemini: June 11, 2012 through June 25, 2013.  You just might note some similar themes.  Social media became more prominent back then and I have no doubt it will again.  Jupiter loves to expand whatever it touches, and let's face it, Gemini is all about communication and learning.  We are talking serious mental expansion. When Jupiter is in Gemini, we can attract more good fortune if we are open-minded, versatile and curious.  Jupiter in Gemini will be especially fortuitous for writers as communication will flourish. Pursue your dreams in whatever area of life Jupiter in Gemini is touching.  Jupiter in Gemini starts in my 8th house, will conjunct my Moon in early August and then move into my 9th house.

Jupiter in Gemini will also be squaring Saturn in Pisces on August 19 in 17 degrees of their respective signs and again on December 24 in 14 degrees.  We will start off 2025 under the influence of Jupiter square Saturn.  I happen to have my Moon in 14 degrees of Gemini, so I am interested in seeing how this one plays out.  This aspect is bound to create some tension between boundaries and structures. There will be themes of heaviness and responsibility limiting us creatively.  People and circumstances will test our faith and optimism.  We could experience massive frustration because we want to move forward but feel like someone is putting the brakes on.  Further complicating this is the fact that Saturn is retrograde in Pisces from June 29, 2024 through November 15, 2024.  Saturn stations retrograde at 19 degrees of Pisces and goes direct in 12 degrees of Pisces.  We have some major conflict here: Jupiter wants creativity and fun, while Saturn's forte is self-discipline and responsibility. Criticism from others is likely to surface.  Saturn will move into Aries in May 2025 and Jupiter will move into Cancer (where it is exalted and quite comfortable) in June 2025, setting us up for another Jupiter-Saturn square on June 14, 2025 in the cardinal signs of Cancer and Aries. This one should see more action as cardinal signs love to initiate and stir the pot.

I have written more extensively on the transit of Jupiter in Gemini in an article on PowerFortunes.com.  You can check it out with a brief overview on how it affects each of the signs at:

https://www.powerfortunes.com/topics-opinions/jupiter-gemini-may2024.php

We have a couple of other interesting astrological phenomena occurring in the coming week.  On May 27, Mercury in Taurus will be sextiling Saturn in 18 degrees of Pisces.  Sextiles are favorable and supportive aspects that tend to present us with opportunities.  Mercury sextiling Saturn will deliver clear thinking, good judgment, self-discipline and our organizational skills should be at their peak.  So make the most of this day...

On May 29, Mars and Chiron will be conjunct in 22 degrees of Aries.  This will be a very intense aspect because it shows us what we need to do take action on to heal our wounds and acknowledge our vulnerability.  Remember to treat your wounds with compassion on this day. Try to act in a self-caring manner. This can ultimately be a very cathartic time that will reap huge benefits for us emotionally if we act mindfully.

Another Active Week as the Sun and Venus Move into Gemini and A Full Moon in Sagittarius

 

The month of May is indeed zipping along quite merrily.  Mercury moved into Taurus on May 15 after spending over two months in Aries due to that lovely Mercury retrograde that we had in April.  But Mercury in Taurus will be squaring retrograde Pluto in 2 degrees of Aquarius on May 17, which can manifest in some deep thinking and intense interactions.  Aquarius loves to get to the truth of the matter and I wouldn't be surprised if some secrets came to light.  People can also be somewhat defensive with this aspect and many of us can be inclined to force others into buying our way of thinking, especially with both Mercury and Pluto in fixed signs.

On May 18, Venus and Uranus are conjunct in 23 degrees of Taurus.  This will generate much change and excitement with love and/or money.  Spoiler alert--it can trigger impulse spending.  If you are single, you could meet someone new, but don't expect it to last.  This is a day when we are drawn to the unconventional and quirky, which is not always the stuff of permanence.

The Sun and Jupiter are also linking up in 28 degrees of Taurus on May 18.  This is a real feel-good aspect, full of optimism, good cheer and luck.  When the Sun and Jupiter converge, it tends to expand the area of life that it touches.  This only happens once a year, so make the most of it.  Whatever you start on this day should have a positive outcome.  So enjoy the day of May 18 because we have Venus, Uranus, the Sun and Jupiter all hanging out in Taurus, which is ruled by Venus.  It should be a fun day and could even be profitable for some.

The Sun moves into the mutable air sign of Gemini on May 20.  The focus shifts to seeking knowledge, diversity and socializing.  This is also an ideal time for marketing and public relations as our words are more persuasive now.  The shadow side of the Sun in Gemini is a tendency to be more scattered as we can be fickle with all of the choices we face.

The Sun in Gemini is trining Pluto in 2 degrees of Aquarius on May 22.  This can enable positive transformation through intense and profound experiences as we have more power and influence in our lives.  It's nice when Pluto experiences a positive aspect and we have certainly had our fair share of challenging aspects to Pluto since it entered Aquarius.

Another big day is May 23.  We have a Full Strawberry Moon in 2 degrees of Sagittarius.  Why is it called the Strawberry Moon?  Well, according to the Farmer's Almanac, the name comes from Native American tribes that harvested strawberries at this time of year.  This could actually be one of the happiest and most joyful Full Moons of the year.  For starters, it is in the sign of Sagittarius, which is all about honesty, wisdom, and the big picture.  Jupiter rules this Full Moon as the ruler of Sagittarius, so it has strong themes of expansion, optimism and the potential for legal developments.  As an added perk, the Full Moon in 2 degrees of Sagittarius is forming an exact supportive sextile to Pluto in degrees of Aquarius, adding a sense of empowerment and visionary zeal to the mix. It's going to be a very high energy day filled with the exuberance that Sagittarius is associated with.

Venus and Jupiter are also conjunct in 29 degrees of Taurus on the Full Moon.  These planets are known as the Great Benefics, so success, luck and abundance are present.  And Venus is in its home sign of Taurus, so it's a very happy camper.  When planets are in 29 degrees of a sign, they are in the anaretic degree and it indicates completion of an important phase of our lives.  This completely ties in with the theme of harvest on this Full Moon.  Jupiter in Taurus is also sextiling Neptune in 29 degrees of Pisces on this day, which is very spiritually enlightening.  This aspect can bring more harmony, growth, good fortune and enhance creativity.

Venus moves into Gemini at 4:30pm on May 23 and stays there until June 17.  Venus in Gemini is fun-loving, flirty and carefree. Our hearts can be won through the mind during this transit as there is an intellectual edge to love now.  It's also possible for friends to become lovers.  Dating becomes more of an adventure as variety and spontaneity are calling the shots.  And we can be quite fickle and prone to spending money on a good time.  Venus in Taurus was great for saving money and building up security, but Venus in Gemini does not share that priority.  

The month of May also features Jupiter moving into Gemini.  I know most of us are still processing the effects of the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus, but if you would like a sneak peek at how Jupiter in Gemini will play out for you, I encourage you to read my latest article on Jupiter in Gemini at:https://

Change is in the Air as the Sun and Uranus are Conjunct in Taurus and Mercury Enters Taurus

 

We are thick in the heart of Taurus season, especially with the New Moon in Taurus having occurred on May 7.  On that day I posted:

Today’s #NewMoon in Taurus will trigger the effects of last month’s Jupiter Uranus conjunction in Taurus. There could be opportunities presented to us so take advantage of them by all means. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) May 7, 2024

Uranus in Taurus is not through with its change-making action quite yet.  On May 13, the Sun and Uranus will be conjunct in 23 degrees of Taurus.  This aspect screams change and has a theme of the urge to break free from humdrum routines that feel stifling to us.  Unexpected change, freedom and rebellion are all on the agenda for this day.  Don't resist the change that will probably be thrust upon us, but I caution you not to take any unnecessary risks either or rebel against authority just for the sake of rebelling.  It should be an exciting day filled with unconventional occurrences.  It can be a time of reinventing the wheel, so to speak.

If you have any planets in 21-26 degrees of the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio, you will feel this energy quite intensely.  I have my Venus in 24 degrees of Scorpio and my Pluto in 26 degrees of Leo, so this will be activating my natal Venus-Pluto square.  I have been having the feeling that the month of May would be bringing big changes for me and this Sun-Uranus conjunction in Taurus could be the instigator for me.

Venus in Taurus is also forming a supportive sextile to Saturn in 17 degrees of Pisces on May 13.  This will cause us to crave companionship, but the Saturn influence assures that we want it to be serious and committed in order to fulfill our needs.  This is not the aspect that encourages a light-hearted fling.  Venus sextiling Saturn is also favorable for conducting business transactions, paying off debts and starting a savings plan.

We have one other cause for celebration on May 13.  Mercury finally clears its retrograde shadow in 27 degrees of Aries.  How can we forget that Mercury stationed retrograde in 27 degrees of Aries on April 1?

Mercury enters Taurus on May 15 and remains in Taurus until June 3.  As you can see, Mercury has regained its momentum and is cruising at full speed.  Mercury was in Aries from March 9 and was a major player in eclipse season as it was retrograde during the Solar Eclipse in Aries on April 8 and had already entered its retrograde shadow period on March 19 to have an effect on the Lunar Eclipse in Libra on March 25. 

When Mercury is in Taurus, our thinking and communication becomes more grounded, practical and down to earth.  Common sense will prevail after the impulsiveness of Mercury in Aries.  We will also have more patience with Mercury in Taurus.  It's a perfect time to solidify plans and get focused.  We are more purposeful, but be mindful that the shadow side Mercury in Taurus is a tendency to stubborn and inflexible.  But overall, the transit of Mercury in Taurus should be a welcome relief after the drama of Mercury in Aries that included eclipse season and Mercury retrograde.  I don't know about you, but I found that having Mercury retrograde in Aries seemed to make people more impatient and likely to fly off the handle.

I want to wish all of the mothers out there a Happy Mother's Day on May 12.  The Moon will be in Cancer on that day, and it will be sextiling the Sun, Venus and Uranus in Taurus while trining Saturn in Pisces, which should make it a pleasant day. If you need a thoughtful gift for your Mom, please consider giving her an astrological consultation, tarot reading or distance Reiki session with me.  Just email me at lindasim54@gmail.com or call me at 617-304-2205.

The month of May also features Jupiter moving into Gemini.  I know most of us are still processing the effects of the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus, but if you would like a sneak peek at how Jupiter in Gemini will play out for you, I encourage you to read my latest article on Jupiter in Gemini at:https://

The coronavirus outbreak caused me to increase the number of distant Reiki sessions I do because people were concerned about the spread of the infection. I have decided to suspend my in-person Reiki sessions until further notice, so all of my Reiki sessions will be distant Reiki sessions for the foreseeable future. But a distant Reiki session is the perfect opportunity to safely build up your immune system and if you have contracted coronavirus, you can be treated safely from the comfort of your home. My procedure is to have a conversation with a client about what they hope to achieve from a session, we set up a time for the session to take place when they will be in a state to receive healing energy and I follow up with a telephone conversation to discuss their experience and my perception of their blockages. I do miss seeing my clients, so I am now offering Zoom consultations/intakes before the session so that we can see each other. I have also incorporated a new technique with my distance Reiki treatments since I don’t always have a photo of my client.  I use a teddy bear so that I can scan and focus the healing energy where it is needed. If this appeals to you, please feel free to contact me by email at lindasim54@gmail.com or call me at 617-304-2205. The cost for distance Reiki sessions is based on a sliding scale of $30 -$50. For your convenience, I accept Venmo and Zelle for payment. Zelle payments can be sent using my telephone number

617-304-2205. I have also written an article about distance Reiki, which is available at:

I urge everyone to engage in massive amounts of self-care and follow the protective measures of washing your hands frequently, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, wearing a face mask when necessary and staying home if you are sick. And get a vaccine. The newest vaccine is available and I encourage you to get it to protect yourself. I repeat, you do not want to get this virus! I speak from personal experience and consider myself very fortunate to have survived Coronavirus twice. Stay safe and healthy, everyone! 

Astrology is a powerful tool that helps you navigate challenging times and alerts you to opportunity periods. Get a reading with me and experience the healing process. #astrology
