This May brings some of the best horoscopes we will see all year, thanks to a full moon in Sagittarius. There is tremendous optimism in the conjunctions of the Sun, Jupiter and Venus and the green, lively, springtime signs of Taurus and Gemini that host them. Symbolically, perhaps literally, rains are shown by the placement of Saturn in Pisces, but this adds to the dynamic blend blend of opportunities for growth, self-expression, and generative connection.
Jupiter Shifting Into Gemini
The headline news is Jupiter’s move into Gemini in late May, where it will stay for the coming year. The earth and water signs have enjoyed some additional luck and good favor while Jupiter moved through Taurus. Now, a shift into Gemini rises tides for the air and fire signs. This shift is significant because of its relative rarity; the Moon changes signs every two and a half days, Jupiter takes an entire year.
Where Jupiter goes, doors open. Chief manifestations of Gemini are in networks, pattern recognition, and the generation of curiosity. Even those of us leading simple lives with simple problems can benefit from the uplift. Re-assessment of habitual thinking patterns, learning something new, watching how information flows around us and what that says about our relationship to our environments – these are things Jupiter can help us find room for if we engage in stimulating conversations, and open ourselves up to new ideas and experiences. Delicate Venus aligned with Jupiter just done day prior to Jupiter’s ingress into Gemini, suggesting that these shifts won’t force themselves upon us abruptly but will coax with a gentler hand and voice. That’s how this astrological story begins; where it goes from there is up to the decisions we make along the way.
Continuous Moving of the Planets
As we welcome the month of June, Mercury joins the party in Gemini, further amplifying our desire to learn, communicate, connect. In the first week of the month, Venus and the Sun form an important conjunction in Gemini, encouraging us to express ourselves authentically and to find joy in our unique skills and interests. This is also a beautiful signature for the re-ignition of love, appreciation, and partnership.
Mid-June sees a change of pace as Mars moves into Taurus, urging us to slow down a bit. Mars was in Aries for some time, a swifter energy. As Mars moves into Taurus, we show perseverance and strength through stillness, reservation, thought. If you garden, it’s the perfect time to plant something red, or something with some bite.
As the month progresses, Mercury and the Sun continue to travel together in Gemini, highlighting the importance of clear communication and self-expression. Towards the end of this period, both Mercury and Venus transition into Cancer, signaling a shift towards emotional introspection and a focus on nurturing our close relationships.
Throughout this time, the key will be to strike a balance between the mental energy of Gemini and the grounded stability of Taurus. Doing that will require dedication in being present, and remaining curious about the contexts we create for our own lives.
