Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome back to another episode of Astrology with Alice. I'm
your host Alice Bell. In today's Monday, May twenty six
I cannot believe Saturn is now a Arees. We're in
a new era for the next few months, and though
Saturn we'll be backtracking into Pisces September first, let's worry
about that when we get there. For now, I'm just
(00:23):
excited for this new era of Saturn and I'm curious
to see if you guys notice this shift from one
house of your chart to the next house of your chart. Honestly,
this week, I feel like saturn ingresses into new signs
are felt very literally and there's a big shift that
goes on internally in the lead up to that. And
(00:47):
last week when Saturn was at that twenty ninth, the
final degree of Pisces about to move into Aries, I
felt so exhausted and burned out, and it was just
such a culmination of Saturn, like finally doing that wrap
up of Pisces before it made that big shift into Aries.
(01:07):
So this week we're starting off on a completely different
note than we had going on last week, and I'm
excited also. It's playing out quite literally for me. I
don't even know if I planned it to be this way.
I think I did have this transit in the back
of my mind when I plan this trip. But basically,
Saturn just moved into my Ninth House and it's the
(01:28):
same for all Leo Rising charts too, And I am
going to Italy this week, which is very Ninth House themed,
like foreign travel, experiencing another culture. I'm going with two
of my girlfriends and we're just gonna have fun because
we all went to high school in Italy for a
year together, so we like to go back and visit it,
(01:49):
and it just feels more Ninth House, where it's like
that's a place where I feel more immersed in the culture.
And I'm not going there so much as a tourist,
but rather as that feels like my set at home
because I spend so much time over there. But yeah,
it's kind of crazy how that trip lined up with
like two days after Saturn has moved into Aries, I'm
(02:11):
going on a flight to another country. Also happening this
week that we get to look forward to is that
there's a new moon in Gemini happening later tonight, So
Monday night, if you're in America or similar time zones
Tuesday morning for time zones ahead of America, because it's
happening like at eleven I think it's after eleven PM
(02:32):
on Monday night Eastern Times, so anyone ahead of that,
it's Tuesday. But we'll get into the exact details of
that new moon later on in this episode, but know
that this week we'll be like hitting the reset button.
And note how in the coming days that follow Monday
that new opportunities, relationships, habits, or maybe fresh mindsets begin
(02:54):
to get established, and you'll continue to work towards those
things and fully develop them over the course of the
next several weeks because we are entering that new lunar cycle.
So this is a time of building now headed into
the rest of this week and all of next week two.
In the lead up to that Monday night Tuesday morning
(03:16):
new moon. It's very low energy though, so we're starting
the week off, as we'll see, just on a very quiet,
not a lot's happening type of vibe before things pick
back up again, especially the further into the week we get,
like maybe even closer to the end of this week
headed into next week. So yeah, that's the overall themes
(03:40):
taking place right now. I also want to thank everyone
that's written in Saturn and air stories. We definitely have
plenty now, do not need any more. I'm going to
go sift through them. I know I said that episode
would probably be out this coming Thursday, but true to
Saturn's fashion, it's gonna delayed a bit because there's just
(04:02):
so many stories to go through and compile. And I
know that the recording of a Saturn episode will take
way longer than I've planned because it's Saturn we're talking about. Like,
Saturn always makes things longer, it always puts delays into something.
So really going to try to get that out next Thursday.
And that'll also be on YouTube as well, which is
(04:24):
Astrology with Alice on YouTube. But yeah, also final announcement
before we get into the astrology for the week ahead.
I sent out my monthly horoscopes for Gemini season on
substock last week. That's a perk for paid subscribers. Went
super in depth on all the transits happening over the
next month, Saturn into aries, Jupiter into cancer, every other
(04:48):
relevant transit and what that means for your rising sign.
So that perk that I do over on substack. That's
basically everything I would tell you if you came to
me for reading. So if you're wanting a really individualized
approach to these transits, that's something I would look into
if you have the means to do so right now.
(05:08):
But anyways, let's get into the weekly forecast. Okay, we
are starting the week off on Monday, May twenty six.
Like I said a couple minutes ago, this week is
starting off on a very slow note, especially because the
moon is void of course in Taurus. So it's like
the moon and Taurus is one thing, and being such
(05:29):
a waning moon like that's already slow, but having it
void of course too, I just would not expect a
lot to be happening on Monday, and we're inching closer
to the new moon happening Monday night. So think of
Monday overall as a slow day in general. Thank god
it's a holiday in America, because I don't see this
(05:50):
moon and Taurus energy conducive to getting pretty much anything
done or being super productive. So try to go easy
on yourself on Monday. I would engage in that bring
you back to the present moment and back to your body.
So Monday would be a great day to go on
a walk in nature, cook enjoy dining out. Maybe you
(06:11):
simply want to relax and allow your body to recharge
and take time to yourself. Or because it's like the
new moon happening, this could be a good time to
take that time alone and set an intention or do
a little New Moon ritual. It's a great time out
of the month for this deeper inner reflection. Right around
one twenty pm Eastern, the moon will leave Taurus and
(06:34):
move into Gemini. So we could see this shift headed
into the second half of Monday to being slightly more
social or up for running an errand or multitasking, or
maybe exploring a new part of your neighborhood or engaging
your mind in something like reading or writing. But again,
(06:54):
we're still not at that new moon, so the energy
remains pretty low all day and I would definitely not
launch anything on this date. Don't try to do any
major outreach or planning. Hold off till Tuesday. You just
got to hold off one day and you'll notice that
you're getting a better reception or more traction with whatever
(07:16):
you're trying to get started. Let's talk about the new
moon now, it's happening right around eleven pm Eastern, so
every time zone head of America, it will be your
Tuesday that this new moon is happening on. This new
moon is taking place at six degrees of Gemini, so
mutable sign placements Pisces Virgo, Sagittarius Gemini. If you have
(07:36):
chart placements right around in these signs, right around six degrees,
give or take maybe three degrees on each side. Honestly,
if you have like zero placements between zero to ten
degrees of a mutable sign, I would expect you to
feel a bigger impact from this new moon. So really blending,
(07:56):
like what is the theme with that planet affected or
that angle effect in your chart, and how are you
seeing this desire to develop the qualities of that planet
are angle more Like let's say you have a five
degree Gemini mid heaven. Maybe this is a way more
career focused month for you, and there's more happening at
work than would normally be taking place, and you're building
(08:18):
upon that area of your life. Also, the ruling planet
of the new Moon is Mercury, and Mercury is also
now in Gemini, so this is a great position for
the ruling planet of the new moon to be in
it's in the sign of its rulership, so that signals
that it's more likely that you can move forward with
(08:39):
greater ease and momentum with whatever you're wanting to initiate
at this new moon. So this kind of gives you
that productive push and that sign of encouragement that maybe
you are on the right path and that things will
flow more easily if you make a decision or just
start something already. Themes in general to take note with
(08:59):
this new because it's in the sign of Gemini, there's
going to be a greater emphasis on daily communication, like
how you talk to people, how you share ideas, or
how you address important conversations you need to have with
friends or maybe a colleague at work. It's all about
how do you get those ideas in your head across
in a more effective way, or how do you communicate
(09:21):
your emotions to people in a way that isn't so
confrontational or a way that someone else can easily understand
what you're thinking. I would also say projects related to
writing speaking short for basically short form content creation having
more inspiration there. So I think things like a podcast,
(09:41):
a newsletter, a post. You would do for Instagram kind
of this easy or more digestible way of sharing your
knowledge and getting more motivated to do so in those
different types of areas. On another note, you might be
staying curious about learning a bunch of different things at once,
and maybe you're wanting to read a lot more. Or
it could be that you're inspired to sign up for
(10:03):
a one off class like a mini short course, or
maybe you're finally getting around to picking up this new
skill that you've wanted to teach yourself for a while now.
I would also say Gemini pertains to short for not
short form short term travel, So think places that are
easy to get to, like a day trip nearby, or
(10:27):
doing an event in your city, something where it's not
as big of a deal, or maybe even travel that
has more of a social element to it. The full
moon and Sagittarius as we build closer to that this month,
that's the lunation that has a lot to do with
foreign cultures, foreign travel. So I always find during Gemini
season there is this juxtaposition of how to best share
(10:51):
knowledge in an easy way. It's kind of like feeling
this push pull of like I want to go more
in depth on this stuff, but I'm also distracted by
all these details, and then like, oh, I want to
do travel that's more manageable and easy to get to
and explore my immediate vicinity, but then maybe also pulled
to explore a different culture or even another country in
some instances. So those are themes to take note of,
(11:14):
and just being more social in general. Gemini is a
sign that's a lot about making these quick connections with
people and being more outgoing and down to attend various
social gatherings, group events, things like that, what else do
I have to say about the new moon? Oh? I
also wanted to go over general themes by rising sign
(11:35):
that you may notice becoming a bigger focus with this
new moon. These have to do with the house in
your chart ruled by Gemini, so you can check that
individual house to see what themes are more relevant for
you over the next month. But looking more broadly, Fire
sign risings, this indicates an emphasis on relationships for you
(11:56):
and being more social, so you're feeling that social energy
probably the most out of any other of the rising signs,
and also maybe this desire to date or prioritize time
with your partner or friends. Whereas for Earth sign risings,
this is a time that has to do more with
establishing yourself at work and your career, making decisions regarding
those areas, maybe also focus more on routine health or money.
(12:19):
And then for Air sign risings, this new moon has
to do more with developing new sides of your identity,
new personal interests, furthering your education in certain areas. And
then lastly, for Water sign risings, it's more of a
mental health moment where you could want to slow down
a lot more, make time for rest, make time for
(12:39):
personal life and like family relationships. And it's also important
to keep in mind with new moons that they can
be just as much about having these new opportunities in
these new beginnings, but new moons can also mark endings too,
so this time period may be about shedding something that's
not working in your life first so that you can
(13:04):
come back refreshed and more certain about what you want
to work towards after that takes place. Let's move on
now to Tuesday, May twenty seventh, so we're very much
still coming off of that new moon energy headed into
Tuesday and the rest of the week, even though there's
not a lot of visibility to the moon. Yet you
may still notice that you're having this desire or this
(13:28):
motivation and momentum building to get started on new projects
and opportunities, or people are just reaching out to you
a bit more than they were last week. Last week
will be a start contrast to this week, and you're
finding that like motivation. Again, the moon remains in Gemini
all day, so I expect Tuesday another great day for
(13:48):
connecting with people being a bit more social. You may
be inspired with areas like journaling, writing, creating presentations other
types of content, speaking up team meetings at work, brainstorming ideas. However,
it could be very It could be that you're very
(14:08):
in your own thoughts and it may be hard to
mentally relax on Tuesday, or you're just craving a lot
of variety, like wanting to try out a new book,
or changing up your routine in some way, or trying
out a new TV show. It could be hard to
just stick with one specific thing because there's so many
different areas that are grabbing your attention. Also, on Tuesday,
(14:30):
the moon will be sex styling both Mars and Leo
and Venus and Ares, so this again points to how
there's more excitement and connection coming through relationships, and maybe
you do feel that energetic push to initiate something new
in a specific area of your life. On Tuesday, moving
right along to Wednesday, May twenty eighth, we're starting the
(14:53):
day off on a pleasant note with the moon in
Gemini exactly conjunct Jupiter and Gemini. Last hit of the
moon with Jupiter, because Jupiter is quickly on its way
to cancer. So the next time we have the moon
Jupiter conjunction, it'll be in an entirely new sign. But
this conjunction could have you thinking more optimistically on Wednesday.
(15:13):
Maybe you're excited about something you're learning, or you're ready
to share ideas with people. However, you may be more
emotional though, or you're feeling everything more intensely than usual,
or again that feeling of being interested in so many
different things at once that you're easily distracted or overwhelmed emotionally.
That could still apply to Wednesday too. Right around one
(15:38):
thirty pm Eastern, the moon will move into Cancer, so
you could notice this shift midway through your day, maybe
more so Thursday. On Thursday, if you're in time zones
ahead to feeling more grounded or there's a greater desire
to stick close to home or focus on nurturing these
close relationships in your life. Like if you felt kind
(15:58):
of all over the place overly stimulated at the start
of this week, you're reeling that back in and giving
more compassion and nurturing back to yourself and the people
that only have that position of being closest to you.
The moon will exactly square Saturn and Neptune and aries
(16:19):
when it moves into Cancer, so this is brand new
type of aspect we're getting with the moon squaring Saturn
and Neptune across cardinal signs. So later into Wednesday, you
may have this feeling of being kind of drained, or
something you're working on gets delayed or feels a bit
frustrating or confusing, or there's just more work on your
(16:40):
plate to get done at the end of Wednesday. So
Wednesday could be that day where you're staying a bit
later at your job, or something feels a bit more demanding,
like a responsibility even outside of work. Moving right along
to Thursday, May twenty ninth, we have the moon still
in Cancer all day, so it might be that you're
(17:02):
tending to activities around your home like cleaning, organizing, or
you want to connect with family or these people who
feel super close to you in a way that family
might or you could simply feel more introverted and want
to have more emotionally deep conversations with people, kind of again,
this more compassionate and giving type energy. However, there's another
(17:26):
transit that is the complete opposite of this that is
building on Thursday, and that is the Sun Mercury, Kasimi
and Gemini. So this is building throughout all of Thursday,
and it'll go exact into Friday too, and this may
overpower those cancer moon themes I just went through. So
if we rewind back to early February, that was the
(17:49):
last time we had a Sun Mercury Kazmi when Mercury
was direct in an air sign, so that time it
was an Aquarius. And I'm thinking back to early February
and that was one of the most social periods I've
had out of this entire year. Maybe, so I am
expecting something similar this go around, as the Sun in
Mercury meet up in Gemini. So end of week, there
(18:13):
may be a lot of connections you're making with people,
or there's things like travel or running errands, or more
moving around in general that's taking place. I also think
of this sun mercury kasimi when mercury is not retrograde
as the full moon phase of mercury. So this could
be a period during this week where you're having these
(18:35):
ideas get more fully formed, or maybe you're having this
moment of clarity with what do I want to write
about next? What do I want to share? How can
I communicate my ideas to people more effectively? Moving forward
and having that bigger turning point go on with something
you're writing or sometimes of speaking work you're doing, and
(18:56):
seeing projects that involve a lot of details or planning
maybe reach their full potential or come full circle in
a way, or could simply be that there's just a
ton of different tasks and smaller details that you're keeping
track of at once around this time and again it's
important to note the gem and I ruled house of
your chart that we looked at for the new moon,
(19:19):
and now we want to look at it again around
Thursday Friday to see what is super busy there at
the moment that might be demanding a lot of your
mental attention. So for a Sagittarius rising with this kasimi
in the seventh house. That could be something related to
a relationship where there's a lot of one on one
interactions with people, or you're noticing this kind of full
(19:41):
circle moment with someone you're dating, or like reaching a
big decision with your current partner, something like that, Whereas
for a cancer rising, this kazmi's taking place in your
twelfth house. So maybe it's this bigger realization going on
internally that other people can't really see. That maybe has
to do with your understanding of your mental health and
your emotions, or you're super curious about something involving spirituality.
(20:06):
It's always important to look at how is this where
is this transit happening in my individual chart to get
further insight than we are to. Friday, May thirtieth, the
moon is still in Cancer for the first part of
the day, but if you're in time zones ahead majority
of your day, you still get the moon in Cancer. However,
(20:26):
the moon will be void, of course, not making aspects
to any other planets on Friday, So this is a
good day to get off work early, maybe relax a
bit more, definitely try to still reach out to people
because we still have that sun mercury, casimi social energy
being felt. But once the moon moves into Leo a
little after four pm Eastern, I see there being a
(20:48):
shift from maybe being more in your emotions, more sensitive,
to then having more fun or feeling more laid back
or creative, or just like I want to have a
good time, I want to enjoy myself. So once again
we get more positive astrology right at the end of
the week when we want it headed into the weekend,
and the Moon and Leo could give you this ability
(21:10):
to tend to hobbies or whatever brings you joy outside
of career or just other responsibilities that aren't necessarily tied
to work. And also the Moon and Leo will be
training Saturn and Neptune in Aris, so there's nice support
coming from them. And even if I guess you do
have worker errands to take care of, it won't feel
(21:31):
super stressful. There's more this vibe of I can this
is manageable, I can get the stuff cross off my
to do list, and then I can enjoy myself. Okay,
let's move on to Saturday, May thirty. First, the moon
remains in Leo all day, and it'll also be sex
styling the sun and Mercury in Gemini. So I'm seeing
(21:51):
Saturday as being a fun, lighthearted type of day where
you want to meet up with people, do a fun activity.
Maybe also creative inspiration for writing or speaking related work
comes up, and you could find ways to blend the two,
like blending the creativity and the self expression and that
personal aspect of the Moon and Leo with the communication
(22:16):
storytelling aspect of Gemini. So maybe wanting to show your
personality through a Gemini themed medium like online content, writing, speaking,
socializing with people, or it could be that you're having
fun while taking a day trip or attending an event
in your city and that may in turn give you
(22:37):
inspiration for something that you've been thinking over that you
may want to start working on. And then we're wrapping
up the week on Sunday, June First. Sunday is a
bit more tense. First, we start off the day with
the moon conjunct Mars in Leo. So maybe you're quick
to get irritated or worked up about something on Sunday,
(22:59):
or you're having to extend a lot of energy or
effort into an activity or a plan to get somewhere
or establishing a meet up with friends. So there's like
this push full of feeling like impatient or irritated, but
also something requiring a lot more energy on your part.
Another tricky aspect happening Sunday is that venus will be
(23:22):
conjunct chirn in areas. So this points to how there
may be some insecurities or feelings of self doubt that
come up on Sunday, or especially like involving relationships, like
maybe something rubs you the wrong way in a friendship
or with someone you're dating, or with your partner, and
(23:43):
you could be faced with this difficult feeling or situation
that you need to work through that may remind you
of something that happened in your past. I would say
with Chiron, it's all about healing from past wounds or
insecurities and learning about yourself through these types of trees
that might come up. On a more positive note, this
(24:03):
transit does urge you to be more compassionate towards yourself
because it brings in these themes of maybe wanting to
compare yourself to people too much, or noticing all your
flaws super clearly. So just catching yourself when you're having
those types of thoughts and embracing your flaws and maybe
wanting to even be more open about your insecurities because
(24:25):
that could help you connect to people in a different way.
And also because venus ties back in with creativity and
creative work, you could want to put these insecurities or
these tougher emotions into a hobby or some type of
project that ties into your own creativity. Another interpretation could
be you're feeling this anxiety or this feeling of lack
(24:47):
with finances, so maybe you want to take this time
to reframe your mindset around money. Sunday evening will thankfully
feel less tense as both of these aspects fade out
a bit, and then the moon and moves on to
sextile Jupiter, so Sunday evening you're able to relax again
have these easier interactions with people, and then the moon
(25:08):
moves into Virgo around eleven pm Eastern on Sunday night,
So we'll save the moon and Virgo for next time.
We'll be kicking off next week on a much more
productive note. But thank you guys again for listening as always,
and stay tuned for Saturn episode coming very soon. Bye
Welcome back to another episode of Astrology with Alice. I'm
your host Alice Bell. In today's Monday, May twenty six
I cannot believe Saturn is now a Arees. We're in
a new era for the next few months, and though
Saturn we'll be backtracking into Pisces September first, let's worry
about that when we get there. For now, I'm just
(00:23):
excited for this new era of Saturn and I'm curious
to see if you guys notice this shift from one
house of your chart to the next house of your chart. Honestly,
this week, I feel like saturn ingresses into new signs
are felt very literally and there's a big shift that
goes on internally in the lead up to that. And
(00:47):
last week when Saturn was at that twenty ninth, the
final degree of Pisces about to move into Aries, I
felt so exhausted and burned out, and it was just
such a culmination of Saturn, like finally doing that wrap
up of Pisces before it made that big shift into Aries.
(01:07):
So this week we're starting off on a completely different
note than we had going on last week, and I'm
excited also. It's playing out quite literally for me. I
don't even know if I planned it to be this way.
I think I did have this transit in the back
of my mind when I plan this trip. But basically,
Saturn just moved into my Ninth House and it's the
(01:28):
same for all Leo Rising charts too, And I am
going to Italy this week, which is very Ninth House themed,
like foreign travel, experiencing another culture. I'm going with two
of my girlfriends and we're just gonna have fun because
we all went to high school in Italy for a
year together, so we like to go back and visit it,
(01:49):
and it just feels more Ninth House, where it's like
that's a place where I feel more immersed in the culture.
And I'm not going there so much as a tourist,
but rather as that feels like my set at home
because I spend so much time over there. But yeah,
it's kind of crazy how that trip lined up with
like two days after Saturn has moved into Aries, I'm
(02:11):
going on a flight to another country. Also happening this
week that we get to look forward to is that
there's a new moon in Gemini happening later tonight, So
Monday night, if you're in America or similar time zones
Tuesday morning for time zones ahead of America, because it's
happening like at eleven I think it's after eleven PM
(02:32):
on Monday night Eastern Times, so anyone ahead of that,
it's Tuesday. But we'll get into the exact details of
that new moon later on in this episode, but know
that this week we'll be like hitting the reset button.
And note how in the coming days that follow Monday
that new opportunities, relationships, habits, or maybe fresh mindsets begin
(02:54):
to get established, and you'll continue to work towards those
things and fully develop them over the course of the
next several weeks because we are entering that new lunar cycle.
So this is a time of building now headed into
the rest of this week and all of next week two.
In the lead up to that Monday night Tuesday morning
(03:16):
new moon. It's very low energy though, so we're starting
the week off, as we'll see, just on a very quiet,
not a lot's happening type of vibe before things pick
back up again, especially the further into the week we get,
like maybe even closer to the end of this week
headed into next week. So yeah, that's the overall themes
(03:40):
taking place right now. I also want to thank everyone
that's written in Saturn and air stories. We definitely have
plenty now, do not need any more. I'm going to
go sift through them. I know I said that episode
would probably be out this coming Thursday, but true to
Saturn's fashion, it's gonna delayed a bit because there's just
(04:02):
so many stories to go through and compile. And I
know that the recording of a Saturn episode will take
way longer than I've planned because it's Saturn we're talking about. Like,
Saturn always makes things longer, it always puts delays into something.
So really going to try to get that out next Thursday.
And that'll also be on YouTube as well, which is
(04:24):
Astrology with Alice on YouTube. But yeah, also final announcement
before we get into the astrology for the week ahead.
I sent out my monthly horoscopes for Gemini season on
substock last week. That's a perk for paid subscribers. Went
super in depth on all the transits happening over the
next month, Saturn into aries, Jupiter into cancer, every other
(04:48):
relevant transit and what that means for your rising sign.
So that perk that I do over on substack. That's
basically everything I would tell you if you came to
me for reading. So if you're wanting a really individualized
approach to these transits, that's something I would look into
if you have the means to do so right now.
(05:08):
But anyways, let's get into the weekly forecast. Okay, we
are starting the week off on Monday, May twenty six.
Like I said a couple minutes ago, this week is
starting off on a very slow note, especially because the
moon is void of course in Taurus. So it's like
the moon and Taurus is one thing, and being such
(05:29):
a waning moon like that's already slow, but having it
void of course too, I just would not expect a
lot to be happening on Monday, and we're inching closer
to the new moon happening Monday night. So think of
Monday overall as a slow day in general. Thank god
it's a holiday in America, because I don't see this
(05:50):
moon and Taurus energy conducive to getting pretty much anything
done or being super productive. So try to go easy
on yourself on Monday. I would engage in that bring
you back to the present moment and back to your body.
So Monday would be a great day to go on
a walk in nature, cook enjoy dining out. Maybe you
(06:11):
simply want to relax and allow your body to recharge
and take time to yourself. Or because it's like the
new moon happening, this could be a good time to
take that time alone and set an intention or do
a little New Moon ritual. It's a great time out
of the month for this deeper inner reflection. Right around
one twenty pm Eastern, the moon will leave Taurus and
(06:34):
move into Gemini. So we could see this shift headed
into the second half of Monday to being slightly more
social or up for running an errand or multitasking, or
maybe exploring a new part of your neighborhood or engaging
your mind in something like reading or writing. But again,
(06:54):
we're still not at that new moon, so the energy
remains pretty low all day and I would definitely not
launch anything on this date. Don't try to do any
major outreach or planning. Hold off till Tuesday. You just
got to hold off one day and you'll notice that
you're getting a better reception or more traction with whatever
(07:16):
you're trying to get started. Let's talk about the new
moon now, it's happening right around eleven pm Eastern, so
every time zone head of America, it will be your
Tuesday that this new moon is happening on. This new
moon is taking place at six degrees of Gemini, so
mutable sign placements Pisces Virgo, Sagittarius Gemini. If you have
(07:36):
chart placements right around in these signs, right around six degrees,
give or take maybe three degrees on each side. Honestly,
if you have like zero placements between zero to ten
degrees of a mutable sign, I would expect you to
feel a bigger impact from this new moon. So really blending,
(07:56):
like what is the theme with that planet affected or
that angle effect in your chart, and how are you
seeing this desire to develop the qualities of that planet
are angle more Like let's say you have a five
degree Gemini mid heaven. Maybe this is a way more
career focused month for you, and there's more happening at
work than would normally be taking place, and you're building
(08:18):
upon that area of your life. Also, the ruling planet
of the new Moon is Mercury, and Mercury is also
now in Gemini, so this is a great position for
the ruling planet of the new moon to be in
it's in the sign of its rulership, so that signals
that it's more likely that you can move forward with
(08:39):
greater ease and momentum with whatever you're wanting to initiate
at this new moon. So this kind of gives you
that productive push and that sign of encouragement that maybe
you are on the right path and that things will
flow more easily if you make a decision or just
start something already. Themes in general to take note with
(08:59):
this new because it's in the sign of Gemini, there's
going to be a greater emphasis on daily communication, like
how you talk to people, how you share ideas, or
how you address important conversations you need to have with
friends or maybe a colleague at work. It's all about
how do you get those ideas in your head across
in a more effective way, or how do you communicate
(09:21):
your emotions to people in a way that isn't so
confrontational or a way that someone else can easily understand
what you're thinking. I would also say projects related to
writing speaking short for basically short form content creation having
more inspiration there. So I think things like a podcast,
(09:41):
a newsletter, a post. You would do for Instagram kind
of this easy or more digestible way of sharing your
knowledge and getting more motivated to do so in those
different types of areas. On another note, you might be
staying curious about learning a bunch of different things at once,
and maybe you're wanting to read a lot more. Or
it could be that you're inspired to sign up for
(10:03):
a one off class like a mini short course, or
maybe you're finally getting around to picking up this new
skill that you've wanted to teach yourself for a while now.
I would also say Gemini pertains to short for not
short form short term travel, So think places that are
easy to get to, like a day trip nearby, or
(10:27):
doing an event in your city, something where it's not
as big of a deal, or maybe even travel that
has more of a social element to it. The full
moon and Sagittarius as we build closer to that this month,
that's the lunation that has a lot to do with
foreign cultures, foreign travel. So I always find during Gemini
season there is this juxtaposition of how to best share
(10:51):
knowledge in an easy way. It's kind of like feeling
this push pull of like I want to go more
in depth on this stuff, but I'm also distracted by
all these details, and then like, oh, I want to
do travel that's more manageable and easy to get to
and explore my immediate vicinity, but then maybe also pulled
to explore a different culture or even another country in
some instances. So those are themes to take note of,
(11:14):
and just being more social in general. Gemini is a
sign that's a lot about making these quick connections with
people and being more outgoing and down to attend various
social gatherings, group events, things like that, what else do
I have to say about the new moon? Oh? I
also wanted to go over general themes by rising sign
(11:35):
that you may notice becoming a bigger focus with this
new moon. These have to do with the house in
your chart ruled by Gemini, so you can check that
individual house to see what themes are more relevant for
you over the next month. But looking more broadly, Fire
sign risings, this indicates an emphasis on relationships for you
(11:56):
and being more social, so you're feeling that social energy
probably the most out of any other of the rising signs,
and also maybe this desire to date or prioritize time
with your partner or friends. Whereas for Earth sign risings,
this is a time that has to do more with
establishing yourself at work and your career, making decisions regarding
those areas, maybe also focus more on routine health or money.
(12:19):
And then for Air sign risings, this new moon has
to do more with developing new sides of your identity,
new personal interests, furthering your education in certain areas. And
then lastly, for Water sign risings, it's more of a
mental health moment where you could want to slow down
a lot more, make time for rest, make time for
(12:39):
personal life and like family relationships. And it's also important
to keep in mind with new moons that they can
be just as much about having these new opportunities in
these new beginnings, but new moons can also mark endings too,
so this time period may be about shedding something that's
not working in your life first so that you can
(13:04):
come back refreshed and more certain about what you want
to work towards after that takes place. Let's move on
now to Tuesday, May twenty seventh, so we're very much
still coming off of that new moon energy headed into
Tuesday and the rest of the week, even though there's
not a lot of visibility to the moon. Yet you
may still notice that you're having this desire or this
(13:28):
motivation and momentum building to get started on new projects
and opportunities, or people are just reaching out to you
a bit more than they were last week. Last week
will be a start contrast to this week, and you're
finding that like motivation. Again, the moon remains in Gemini
all day, so I expect Tuesday another great day for
(13:48):
connecting with people being a bit more social. You may
be inspired with areas like journaling, writing, creating presentations other
types of content, speaking up team meetings at work, brainstorming ideas. However,
it could be very It could be that you're very
(14:08):
in your own thoughts and it may be hard to
mentally relax on Tuesday, or you're just craving a lot
of variety, like wanting to try out a new book,
or changing up your routine in some way, or trying
out a new TV show. It could be hard to
just stick with one specific thing because there's so many
different areas that are grabbing your attention. Also, on Tuesday,
(14:30):
the moon will be sex styling both Mars and Leo
and Venus and Ares, so this again points to how
there's more excitement and connection coming through relationships, and maybe
you do feel that energetic push to initiate something new
in a specific area of your life. On Tuesday, moving
right along to Wednesday, May twenty eighth, we're starting the
(14:53):
day off on a pleasant note with the moon in
Gemini exactly conjunct Jupiter and Gemini. Last hit of the
moon with Jupiter, because Jupiter is quickly on its way
to cancer. So the next time we have the moon
Jupiter conjunction, it'll be in an entirely new sign. But
this conjunction could have you thinking more optimistically on Wednesday.
(15:13):
Maybe you're excited about something you're learning, or you're ready
to share ideas with people. However, you may be more
emotional though, or you're feeling everything more intensely than usual,
or again that feeling of being interested in so many
different things at once that you're easily distracted or overwhelmed emotionally.
That could still apply to Wednesday too. Right around one
(15:38):
thirty pm Eastern, the moon will move into Cancer, so
you could notice this shift midway through your day, maybe
more so Thursday. On Thursday, if you're in time zones
ahead to feeling more grounded or there's a greater desire
to stick close to home or focus on nurturing these
close relationships in your life. Like if you felt kind
(15:58):
of all over the place overly stimulated at the start
of this week, you're reeling that back in and giving
more compassion and nurturing back to yourself and the people
that only have that position of being closest to you.
The moon will exactly square Saturn and Neptune and aries
(16:19):
when it moves into Cancer, so this is brand new
type of aspect we're getting with the moon squaring Saturn
and Neptune across cardinal signs. So later into Wednesday, you
may have this feeling of being kind of drained, or
something you're working on gets delayed or feels a bit
frustrating or confusing, or there's just more work on your
(16:40):
plate to get done at the end of Wednesday. So
Wednesday could be that day where you're staying a bit
later at your job, or something feels a bit more demanding,
like a responsibility even outside of work. Moving right along
to Thursday, May twenty ninth, we have the moon still
in Cancer all day, so it might be that you're
(17:02):
tending to activities around your home like cleaning, organizing, or
you want to connect with family or these people who
feel super close to you in a way that family
might or you could simply feel more introverted and want
to have more emotionally deep conversations with people, kind of again,
this more compassionate and giving type energy. However, there's another
(17:26):
transit that is the complete opposite of this that is
building on Thursday, and that is the Sun Mercury, Kasimi
and Gemini. So this is building throughout all of Thursday,
and it'll go exact into Friday too, and this may
overpower those cancer moon themes I just went through. So
if we rewind back to early February, that was the
(17:49):
last time we had a Sun Mercury Kazmi when Mercury
was direct in an air sign, so that time it
was an Aquarius. And I'm thinking back to early February
and that was one of the most social periods I've
had out of this entire year. Maybe, so I am
expecting something similar this go around, as the Sun in
Mercury meet up in Gemini. So end of week, there
(18:13):
may be a lot of connections you're making with people,
or there's things like travel or running errands, or more
moving around in general that's taking place. I also think
of this sun mercury kasimi when mercury is not retrograde
as the full moon phase of mercury. So this could
be a period during this week where you're having these
(18:35):
ideas get more fully formed, or maybe you're having this
moment of clarity with what do I want to write
about next? What do I want to share? How can
I communicate my ideas to people more effectively? Moving forward
and having that bigger turning point go on with something
you're writing or sometimes of speaking work you're doing, and
(18:56):
seeing projects that involve a lot of details or planning
maybe reach their full potential or come full circle in
a way, or could simply be that there's just a
ton of different tasks and smaller details that you're keeping
track of at once around this time and again it's
important to note the gem and I ruled house of
your chart that we looked at for the new moon,
(19:19):
and now we want to look at it again around
Thursday Friday to see what is super busy there at
the moment that might be demanding a lot of your
mental attention. So for a Sagittarius rising with this kasimi
in the seventh house. That could be something related to
a relationship where there's a lot of one on one
interactions with people, or you're noticing this kind of full
(19:41):
circle moment with someone you're dating, or like reaching a
big decision with your current partner, something like that, Whereas
for a cancer rising, this kazmi's taking place in your
twelfth house. So maybe it's this bigger realization going on
internally that other people can't really see. That maybe has
to do with your understanding of your mental health and
your emotions, or you're super curious about something involving spirituality.
(20:06):
It's always important to look at how is this where
is this transit happening in my individual chart to get
further insight than we are to. Friday, May thirtieth, the
moon is still in Cancer for the first part of
the day, but if you're in time zones ahead majority
of your day, you still get the moon in Cancer. However,
(20:26):
the moon will be void, of course, not making aspects
to any other planets on Friday, So this is a
good day to get off work early, maybe relax a
bit more, definitely try to still reach out to people
because we still have that sun mercury, casimi social energy
being felt. But once the moon moves into Leo a
little after four pm Eastern, I see there being a
(20:48):
shift from maybe being more in your emotions, more sensitive,
to then having more fun or feeling more laid back
or creative, or just like I want to have a
good time, I want to enjoy myself. So once again
we get more positive astrology right at the end of
the week when we want it headed into the weekend,
and the Moon and Leo could give you this ability
(21:10):
to tend to hobbies or whatever brings you joy outside
of career or just other responsibilities that aren't necessarily tied
to work. And also the Moon and Leo will be
training Saturn and Neptune in Aris, so there's nice support
coming from them. And even if I guess you do
have worker errands to take care of, it won't feel
(21:31):
super stressful. There's more this vibe of I can this
is manageable, I can get the stuff cross off my
to do list, and then I can enjoy myself. Okay,
let's move on to Saturday, May thirty. First, the moon
remains in Leo all day, and it'll also be sex
styling the sun and Mercury in Gemini. So I'm seeing
(21:51):
Saturday as being a fun, lighthearted type of day where
you want to meet up with people, do a fun activity.
Maybe also creative inspiration for writing or speaking related work
comes up, and you could find ways to blend the two,
like blending the creativity and the self expression and that
personal aspect of the Moon and Leo with the communication
(22:16):
storytelling aspect of Gemini. So maybe wanting to show your
personality through a Gemini themed medium like online content, writing, speaking,
socializing with people, or it could be that you're having
fun while taking a day trip or attending an event
in your city and that may in turn give you
(22:37):
inspiration for something that you've been thinking over that you
may want to start working on. And then we're wrapping
up the week on Sunday, June First. Sunday is a
bit more tense. First, we start off the day with
the moon conjunct Mars in Leo. So maybe you're quick
to get irritated or worked up about something on Sunday,
(22:59):
or you're having to extend a lot of energy or
effort into an activity or a plan to get somewhere
or establishing a meet up with friends. So there's like
this push full of feeling like impatient or irritated, but
also something requiring a lot more energy on your part.
Another tricky aspect happening Sunday is that venus will be
(23:22):
conjunct chirn in areas. So this points to how there
may be some insecurities or feelings of self doubt that
come up on Sunday, or especially like involving relationships, like
maybe something rubs you the wrong way in a friendship
or with someone you're dating, or with your partner, and
(23:43):
you could be faced with this difficult feeling or situation
that you need to work through that may remind you
of something that happened in your past. I would say
with Chiron, it's all about healing from past wounds or
insecurities and learning about yourself through these types of trees
that might come up. On a more positive note, this
(24:03):
transit does urge you to be more compassionate towards yourself
because it brings in these themes of maybe wanting to
compare yourself to people too much, or noticing all your
flaws super clearly. So just catching yourself when you're having
those types of thoughts and embracing your flaws and maybe
wanting to even be more open about your insecurities because
(24:25):
that could help you connect to people in a different way.
And also because venus ties back in with creativity and
creative work, you could want to put these insecurities or
these tougher emotions into a hobby or some type of
project that ties into your own creativity. Another interpretation could
be you're feeling this anxiety or this feeling of lack
(24:47):
with finances, so maybe you want to take this time
to reframe your mindset around money. Sunday evening will thankfully
feel less tense as both of these aspects fade out
a bit, and then the moon and moves on to
sextile Jupiter, so Sunday evening you're able to relax again
have these easier interactions with people, and then the moon
(25:08):
moves into Virgo around eleven pm Eastern on Sunday night,
So we'll save the moon and Virgo for next time.
We'll be kicking off next week on a much more
productive note. But thank you guys again for listening as always,
and stay tuned for Saturn episode coming very soon. Bye
