May 20: Quite the day! The Full Moon occurs at 03:12am at 29°27 Taurus/Scorpio, closely followed by the exact square between Venus and Neptune at 07:28am at 24°15 Taurus/Aquarius. This of course will take place on the night and early morning of May 19th for those of you living in the USA. Not the best time to try to work out relationship dynamics, especially if you have important planets or positions in the last five degrees of the fixed signs. It might be best just to enjoy the evening and leave those resolutions until a less turbulent emotional time. The Sun enters Gemini at 05:01pm.

May 21: Jupiter is sextile Uranus at 22°08 Capricorn/Pisces, an excellent position for those with planets and points at 21-23º of Scorpio/Taurus. These degrees will have been sensitive from the beginning of May and continue to be so until the end of the first week of June. Excellent opportunity to see a larger outreach in terms of the planets and placements so touched. Examples: 1) Your natal ascendant at 21-23° Scorpio or Taurus—look for the opportunities for a wider outreach of your potential to share your world view and the opportunity for improved financial/social returns as a result. 2) Your natal Venus at 21-23° Scorpio or Taurus—look for opportunities to take relationships into another level of experience, one that deepens and expands your understanding. There may also be some financial benefits attached to your social connections at this time.

May 24: Venus enters Gemini at 11:52pm—double your pleasure, double your fun!

May 26: The “Little Herm” goes retrograde at 21:32 Gemini and remains in this condition until 03:26pm on the 19th of June when he turns direct at 12:59 Gemini. As the entire retrograde period this time takes place in Mercury’s own sign, communication delays may be even more acute than during a Mercury retrograde period in signs other than Gemini or Virgo. Give yourself plenty of extra time at airports and when attempting to travel by any other means as well. Things “getting lost in cyberspace” may also be expected and as for “snail mail,” well as the Portuguese say, “nem falar”—“That goes without saying.” Just to give things a bit more of a frustrating celestial thrust on May 26th, Venus is square Saturn on this day at 02:10 Gemini/Virgo (disposited by a stationary Mercury about to go retrograde!). So I would not insist about things working out on time on this day in general. Should you have important planets or positions at 2-3° of the mutable signs, well there are better relationship and money days in your life. In addition, Neptune turns retrograde today at 24°15 Aquarius and remains so until November 2nd when it turns direct on that day at 21°28 of the Water Bearer.

June 3: The New Moon occurs on this day at 08:24pm at 13°34 Gemini closely conjunct to Venus at 12° Gemini, while retrograde Mercury is at 18° of this sign. Not the best day for making agreements that you hope will stick. This is an easy set of aspects for under which appointments may be missed or at least delayed.

June 4-6: First the Sun (on the 4th) and then Venus (on the 6th) are sextile Mars at 14-15° Gemini/Leo. Should you have important positions in your natal chart at these degrees, then expect this planet or point to be positively energized. Example: natal ascendant at 14° Leo, expect some enjoyable social contacts on these days. This may also give you the opportunity to shine brightly in your environment.

June 7-9: An pleasant set of aspects is taking place in the heavens: Mercury conjunct the Sun and Venus (at 17° Gemini on the 7th); Mercury sextile Mars (at 16° Gemini on the 8th); and Venus conjunct the Sun (at 18° Gemini on the 9th). All of these are indicative of multiple, positive social contacts. Yet we have to keep in mind that Mercury is still retrograde, so the elements of delay or miscommunication still have to be taken into consideration.

June 12-13: I might expect some turbulence in our turbulent world on these days as both the Sun and Venus square Uranus at 22° Gemini/Pisces. I would look for social uprisings/hostilities to break out in several places on the planet simultaneously. If you have 22-23° of the mutable signs at important placements in your chart, this could indicate some challenging social circumstances in your own domain.

June 13-14: Both the Sun and Venus are trine Neptune on these days from 24 Gemini to 24 Aquarius. The potential for this contact is: a wider vision of love. I hope that this may be applied to the general world condition. Pluto reaches 00°00 Capricorn today and proceeds to retrograde back into Sagittarius where it remains until November 26th when it returns once again to Capricorn for a very long stay (until 2023-24).

June 18: The Full Moon occurs at 06:32pm at 27°50 Gemini Sagittarius and coincides with the opposition of Venus to Pluto at 27°54 in this same pair of signs. This is not the best indication for world finances, nor for the expression of right human relations (usually difficulties in the former are directly related to challenges in the latter). Venus enters Cancer later on this day at 09.49am.

June 19: Mercury is stationary/direct at 12:59 Gemini.
