Hi everyone!
The past week or two has been quite a journey on
our old steam train. We’re heading to the light, the light of new
consciousness, utilising the guiding energies of the planets and the cosmos.
What’s coming in:
This week
we’re moving into a whole stack of new energies with some planetary energies
shifting from earth based to air signs. That means we’re going to start feeling
a little lighter.
This week:
21st May: Sun moves into
Gemini
22nd May: Full Moon in
Sagittarius
22nd May: Mercury stations
to go direct
24th May: Venus moves into
Gemini
27th May: Mars still
retrograde moves into Scorpio
Mind, heart and body: Growth and change!
With the ‘personal’ planets Mercury, Venus
and Mars all making some changes we’re likely to feel the shifts on the mental,
emotional and physical dimensions. Mind, heart and body are all being moved
along with growth and expansion.
Ongoing: Jupiter squaring/challenging Saturn
Societal and personal changes! Two steps forward,
one step back!
Crossroads of change!
Crossroads of change!
The two big ‘social’ planets Jupiter and Saturn
continue squaring off bringing changes and growth to societal influences.
Jupiter in Virgo is giving growth and expansion to the healing processes and
purification and cleansing of societal energies. Saturn in Sagittarius is
calling for truth and wisdom and is giving rise to revelations of corruption,
lies and deceit which have perpetuated injustices in society. Of course Pluto
in Capricorn continues to ‘dig up the dirt’ in all systems, governments and
bureaucracies.
On the personal level: Expansion and contraction!
Working with both these energies for containment and focus of power!
Jupiter in Virgo: Jupiter is expansion and growth!
Expanding the potential for physical
healing, health and wellbeing. Jupiter in Virgo is also opening us to the call
to give of our gifts and talents on our divine pathway and ‘calling’ to
contribution in the world. The personal purification process (Virgo) is paring
away all that is not aligned with who we are so we can really be in our absolute
power of self.
Saturn in Sagittarius: Contraction, containment and focus!
Saturn is still retrograde in Sagittarius
and is working very much with the release of karmic energies contained within us
as we come to truth and wisdom of who we are in this lifetime and disentangle
from the threads and ‘addictions’ of societal influences which have kept us in
bondage to a mass consciousness built on power imbalances and oppression.
In two weeks time at the New Moon in Gemini,
these two big planets will form part of a Grand Mutable Cross. More on that
with the New Moon.
21st May:
Sun moves into Gemini at 12.36 am AEST...lift off!
Spoilt for
choices!
Until
21st June
Lollipop heaven: A smorgasbord of choices!
It’s the
Sun’s move into Gemini which lifts us from the earthly dimension and takes our
spirits to new heights and to the multitude of possibilities presented by the
Gemini energy. The full range of choices will be gradually revealed over the
next month and especially at the New Moon in Gemini on 5th June, two weeks
time!
Balancing the duality:
The Gemini ‘twins’ seek divine connection and
union!
Gemini is one of the dual signs which opens us up
to the balancing act. For Gemini, it’s all about bringing into balance and
harmony the masculine/feminine, acting/allowing, left brain/right brain,
mind/heart, thinking/feeling. Divine reunion within is the ultimate fulfilment
for Gemini, maximizing the potential for love and creative expression.
Communication
and networking:
Everybody’s talking! Two voices two minds!
The Gemini Sun calls us out into the social milieu
with the urge to interact and communicate with others. It is in this way that
the Gemini gathers the information and data to bring to the mental understanding
and thus the decision making process.
Which way now?
Which way now?
Gemini can have us changing our minds as new
information comes to light and greater clarity is achieved. As Mercury,
Gemini’s ruler pulls away from his station on 22nd we are still working things
out so there’s a need to trust the process as we head to the New Moon in Gemini
on 5th June.
Mercury,
Gemini’s ruler: Mind stimulation!
Keep exploring the ideas and
possibilities!
Gemini’s ruler, Mercury may still be grounded for a
few more weeks but at least he’ll be in forward direction from 22nd, about 14
hours after the moon comes to fullness. Be open to the ideas and possibilities
coming through but give time to sorting and sifting through best options before
making hard and fast decisions. The Full Moon on 22nd is a time of completion
which takes us through to the next New Moon when we can start planting the seeds
for the Gemini lunar cycle.
Mars retrograde energy is sure making us hold
steady, align and balance.
22nd May: Full Moon in Sagittarius at 7.14 am AEST at 01 degree 14 Sagittarius
Launching some rockets of desire: Sagittarius Moon with Mars!
It’s ‘shoot for the moon’ with Sagittarius’
fiery presence up close and personal with Mars, the planet of fire, drive and
ambition.
Heads up
for strong fiery emotional energies:
This a
strong call to be aware of those highly emotional full moon energies which will
be pumped up with the energies of the fiery Crusader Sagittarius who’s got Mars,
the masculine warrior energy standing right alongside.
Completion, culmination: Something
comes to a head!
Just watch out that if you feel like you want to
explode with fiery anger that you can channel that energy in the most
advantageous way.
The full moon always brings big emotional energy and
often exposes a whole lot of ‘memory’ which can be ‘baggage’ emerging from other
times and places. That kind of baggage just pops up when triggered for release
by the fullness of the moon. Anger is healthy when it’s been suppressed. It’s
what you do with the emotion that makes all the difference.
Whatever’s been bottled up will be released!
Rockets of desire and passion:
Sagittarius’
theme song is ‘More is better’!
On a more positive note, this Full Moon can ignite
the fire of desire and passion. Whatever’s been building within can now be
released in this Full Moon.
Party time: Two or two hundred...take your pick!
I imagine with the Gemini Sun opposite the Full
Moon, there could be lots of excitement and plenty of talking. Conflicted
energies within and without can come together in fun times if we so choose.
Gemini and Sagittarius are both social signs that enjoy stimulation from
others.
Politics in the pub may not be your best choice of socialising if
you’re riding with the warrior energy. That is of course if you’re wanting some
fun times. Could be a great party energy depending on the group and the
potential for over indulgence, one of Sagittarian’s catch cries...’more is
better’!
Opposite the Full Moon:
Gemini Sun
with asteroid Vesta...spiritual flame! Fill your hearts with the joy of being
you!
The Gemini
Sun has the potential to fuel the Full Moon with plenty of air energy which
could inflame the emotions and/or it could provide the mental balance and
harmony which could be the reasoned analytical voice calming the Sagittarian
firing from the hip energy.
The
asteroid Vesta is the flame within, our divine fire energy which rules home and
hearth. She is a guiding light for our spiritual journey this lifetime. When
we’re feeling alive with the fire of joy within us and feeling the fulfilment of
life then we are in touch with Vesta who brings us home to ourselves.
Something
emerges from the unconscious:
Messages which bring illumination leading to
clarity!
Full Moons always bring insight and illumination.
At this full moon it’s even more potent with Mercury at a standstill poised to
move direct about 14 hours after the moon comes to fullness. It’s like
everything stops and we are caught in moments of stillness as thoughts and
emotions are brought into our consciousness. That is, providing you can have
some time out from the partying.
Back in
the saddle again:
With Mars firing up this full moon we’ll be ‘shooting from
the hip’...about time!
The energies around this Full Moon are likely to
fire us up as we haven’t been fired for quite some time. The Gemini Sun brings
air, a refreshment of our mental energies and meeting with the Sagittarian fire
in the Full Moon is guaranteed to bring the breath of passion and fire to all of
us.
Two Sagittarian Full Moons: It’s a
round trip!
The first of 2 Sagittarian full moons this
year. This one is right at the very beginning of Sagittarius and in a month’s
time another one at the very end of Sagittarius at 29 degrees. Whatever comes
to light at this Full Moon is likely to find completion at the Full Moon in mid
June, a month away. It seems like we’re being given some leeway like a second
chance. Just take note of what arises as we have a month to bring some
Sagittarian matters to a close.
Sagittarian matters: truth, wisdom, higher
consciousness, focus and passionate drive to get moving!
Sabian Symbols for the Full Moon:
From
Lynda Hill www.sabiansymbols.com
The Full Moon: Sagittarius 2
THE OCEAN COVERED WITH
WHITECAPS
This Symbol implies getting whipped up about
things, often out of proportion to what’s really going on OR staying calm and
centered when events or people are getting out of control and making a big deal
out of situations. You may find that surface emotions get whipped up and this
can led to concerns that are disproportionate to the depth of the situation.
Emotions, intelligence and situations probably have a far deeper sense of
strength and permanence than it may seem. Get below the surface where things are
calmer and more stable. However, don’t withdraw completely as you could find it
hard to surface and show your true feelings. Mobilization of energy and
emotions. Safety in deeper, secure layers of responses. Energy that needs an
outlet. Churning thoughts. Flighty and changeable. Drama queens.
The Caution: Getting fussed and irritable over nothing or at least very little. Nervousness. Overblown reactions. Responding too readily. Gathering gloom. Fussed and irritable

A
NERVOUS GENTLEMAN, DRESSED IN AN ELABORATE SANTA CLAUSE COSTUME, IS FILLING
CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS FURTIVELY
This Symbol often describes people who are into
giving gifts and dishing out the good things in life to others. The question is:
are you the giver or the receiver? Regardless, there are gifts given or
received. Those who are giving will probably try to make it a surprise. Be
gracious and accept those things you both give and receive, but realize that
some could be suspecting what’s really going on as it may not always be clear
what the intentions are behind the act. In fact, it can show someone sneaking
around, somewhat like 'Santa Claus', in an effort to achieve something while no
one is looking. Wishes fulfilled. Longing for superficial gratification. Gifts
dispensed. Receiving gifts from unknown sources. Sudden surprises. Secret
affairs. Quick getaways. Charity.
The Caution: Hiding. Futile pretense. Concealing one's true intentions. Trying to get away with something. Shoplifting. Plundering other people's possessions. Being light fingered.

22nd May: Mercury moves direct at 11.19 pm AEST at 14 degrees 20
Taurus...messages galore!
In
Taurus until 13th June
Bridging the chasm: From confusion to
clarity!
Out
of the fog into the light! Messages galore!
Wow! What an auspicious time for Mercury to
‘station’/come to stillness, right on the Full Moon which is always a time of
illumination from within.
Mercury is
at his most potent/intense when he changes direction, whether retrograde or in
forward motion. A day or so either side is like time standing still as we
contact other dimensions of time and place. Be especially open to insights and
understanding through this particular Full Moon/Mercury station.
Opening
doors: Mercury bringing us back to clarity!
The Sun’s move into Gemini awakens the Gemini
mind and intellect. It’s the first door of change for Mercury. The second door
will be opened when Mercury changes direction on 22nd. The third door will open
when Mercury moves out of shadow on the 8th/9th June and the fourth door will occur
when Mercury moves out of Taurus on 13th/14th June.
Ongoing energies: Mercury in Taurus until 13th June
We still have Mercury, our mind power, our
communication and business manager in earthy Taurus for a little longer.
Mercury has been grounded so all that mental air energy can connect to the heart
of Mother Earth and bring forth new ideas (his territory) as he moves forward
again.
Ongoing purification of mental
energies, thoughts and beliefs, held in the physical body:
Respiratory system,
throat and neck...keep breathing!
We’re still experiencing a purification process of
thoughts and belief systems held in our physical and mental bodies, our cell
memories and DNA. If you’ve been having any challenges to the respiratory
system, ear, nose, throat, lungs, it’s likely to be a part of the cleansing
process. Breath work is ideal with Mercury in Taurus. I’m hoping that some of
this intensity will alleviate when Mercury moves direct. Let’s trust that when
Mercury moves into Gemini on 13th June we’ll all be singing our hearts
out...with gusto!
Gemini’s ruler, Mercury may still be
grounded for a few more weeks but at least he’ll be in forward direction about
14 hours after the moon comes to fullness.
When Mercury moves to Gemini on 13th June
we’re likely to experience how much these all programs have been cleared.
24th May: Venus moves
into Gemini at 7.44 pm AEST
Divine reunion!
Until
18th June
Heart healing of the masculine/feminine
polarity: To do or not to do?
Two
hearts, two minds: Accommodating our polarities!
Be aware
that you may find yourself indecisive during this time if you’re driven by old
patterns and behaviours built on social conditioning. The butterfly within is
ready to switch from one flower to the next as it gathers the golden nectar. The
call is to follow your heart’s desire. If something excites your interest and
brings joy to your heart energy then this is the best guide to follow. Don’t be
afraid to change your mind and to say ‘no’ to people, activities, work etc. if
it doesn’t float your balloon!
Variety
is the spice of life: Looking for love? romance? fun?
Venus in
Gemini is a lighthearted energy which stimulates our desire to be out and about
connecting with others in joyful celebration, fun and joyful times. This is not
the best time to be looking for long term commitments unless you’re on the brink
of it.
It’s a time for ‘flitting’ whether from group to group, person to
person, subject to subject. Intellectual conversation is highly sought after in
Gemini energies so chances are we’ll be seeking out stimulating individuals who
ignite our desires through their mental connection with us.
Love and
money: Follow the heart during this time!
Taste testing for new creative ideas
which have potential to grow...in your heart and mind!
Venus rules
love and money and Mercury, Gemini’s ruler rules commerce as well as
communication and travel. Getting in touch with what you LOVE during this
period of time. You’ll be getting in touch with new ideas and possibilities and
be carrying a bag of magic when the New Moon in Gemini arrives on 5th June.
Those ideas can be planted at that time with an open readiness to see them take
off after Mercury moves into Gemini on 13th June.

Upcoming
Dates:
27th
May: Mars moves into Scorpio still retrograde
That’s it
folks!
Quite a
week ahead being capped off with Mars moving still in retrograde back into
Scorpio at the end of the week. He won’t be moving direct again till the very
end of June so the manifestation of physical changes won’t be fully apparent for
a few weeks after this date.
As always, love and blessings to all my fellow travellers on this part of the journey which is intense and transformational and what seems like an unknown destination. We now need to let those balloons take us where we need to go, allowing our feisty Mars to settle down without the constant urge to ‘do’ something when we need to be drawing our destiny to us.

It’s all about
love
