Our last ten days of May has a lot of planetary movement. On the 20th the Sun enter Gemini for some light as air energy shift. Mars moves into Aries on 5/24 which is going to spark up and probably activate a few warrior moves. Venus moves into Taurus on 5/28 so there is a desire to find love and peace and lean into resources. We still have Mercury in retrograde although there may be a little calmer energy when it returns to earthy Taurus on the 22nd but we will all welcome it’s stationing direct on June 3.
Gemini New Moon lands on May 30th which will finally wrap up this 29-day Taurus lunar eclipse month and get us out and about in the world. At least on the mental level. That will be a separate post.
Last Quarter Moon Phase
May 22, 2022
11:43am PDT
Last Quarter moon: Now we do the final adjustments to the seeds we planted on new. The final call, the final letters to send, we follow all the trails that came up that still make sense. And we let the other parts lay fallow. It is a time of action but wise action. It is a time for living “The serenity prayer”
God, grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change Courage to change the
things I can, and the
Wisdom to know the difference.
Focus on:
What actions are you taking that speak to your faith? What actions are you taking that tap your humanitarianism? How are you connecting to something that is bigger to you?
Special focus
5/22: Mercury re-enters Taurus. The brain slows down. Measured thinking and communication are important
5/24: Mars enters Aries. We get speedy. Actions that are fast. Arguments get our action going.
5/25: Mercury trine Pluto. Solid thoughts that are baked in reality. Could feel like a new thought that should have been figured out earlier.
Balsamic Moon Phase
May 26, 2022
4:35 PDT
Focus on How are you releasing self-determination? How are you releasing ego? How are you releasing aggression?
Special focus:
5/26: Venus square Pluto. Tension is great. Values feel pressure. Love or power or is it power of love.
5/28: Venus enters Taurus. Love slows down. Appreciation of values and money get amped up.
5/29: Mars conjunction Jupiter. Big actions. Big speeds. Big noise. Big independence. Be careful it is not TOO big. Word of warning.

Gemini New Moon May 30, 4:30am 9 Gemini 03
Monday & Tuesday still getting our full moon on!
I am putting this up on Wednesday but please note that the first part of the week we were still in full moon phase. See other post
Disseminating
May 19, 2022
2:41am PDT
Focus on: How are you sharing your business acumen? How are you sharing power structure? How are you sharing real leadership skills?
Special focus:
5/19: Sun trine Pluto. Actions that are concrete liberate a new level of power. There is a willingness to release debris that no longer serves.
5/21: Sun conjunct Mercury. Thoughtful communication that maybe needed to have been said earlier now can find a way out.

Maybe the words, "Bumpy Road" are more drama than necessary but with the launch of Mercury retrograde in Gemini on the 10th and Jupiter moving out of Pisces and into Aries also on the 10th and the Scorpio Total Lunar Eclipse on May 15th---- well we are going to experience some turbulence to say the least.
Don't worry if your inner compass feels 'off'. We are all taking a moment or two to 'right' ourselves. Try to keep your powder dry if you can.
First Quarter Moon
Focus on: What actions are you taking that speak to your heart? What actions need your strength? What actions need honesty? What actions need creativity? What actions benefit from theatrics and drama?

Focus on: What is going on with your relationships? How are you refining your partnership? How are you refining your skills at negotiating? How are you refining your ability to find balance?
Special focus
5/13 Sun conjunct North Node. Resources and values are in our face. How do we improve the areas that need help and protect the assets?

Special focus
5/15: Venus conjunct Chiron. What are we doing to improve and strengthen independence? Love of being independent is hightlighted.
5/15: Sun square Saturn. Conflicts between personal resources and community assets. How are we disciplined in both?
5/17: Mars conjunction Neptune. Actions seem unworldly. What is guiding our actions? Are we confused? Are we using intuition? Where is our faith?
Jupiter in Aries
May 10 – October 28, 2022
Dec 20, 2022 – May 2023
As we know Jupiter is in a sign for about a year. The pattern for Jupiter is it will spend about six months in a sign then it will move into the next sign for about four months, retrograde back to the other sign for a couple of months then turn direct and continue its work in the new sign. It is always interesting when Jupiter is in one sign and the other because there is usually a marked difference, but one could argue that the difference between Pisces and Aries is the most extreme. Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac. Pisces knows there are bigger forces in play than what we see. We can watch apples fall from a tree, it looks like a simple task when the fruit hits the ground. But when you start talking about gravity that is when you realize something bigger is going on. That is Pisces, something else is going on. When Jupiter moves out of Pisces and goes into Aries there is a desire to turn on every booster rocket and get out there in the world. Go, go, go. Break through barriers and be first doing something, the bigger the better. Opinions get big. We value being our own leader. We value being first. We get all worked up with enthusiasm. Our reach feels limitless. Those people who have a personal planet in Aries in particular Suns and Moons will really welcome the lift in energy. Watch some big moves out there in the world that might be ego driven. It is interesting that at the time of this writing Elon Musk is attempting to make a move to buy Twitter. He certainly has sucked up the world’s attention in a huge way but at this writing Jupiter is still in Pisces. If this becomes a reality is yet to be seen and if it does happen while Jupiter is in Aries, we can anticipate even more loudness from that transaction and should expect more Big Players doing Big Plays.
At the end of October Jupiter will return to Pisces and by that time we might welcome a break from Aries. The gift of the largest planet in the zodiac returning to the sign of compassion and humanitarian causes and the ‘unknown’ may remind us there is value in humbleness. Perhaps we don’t know it all? Let’s see what Jupiter finds when he goes back to Pisces in the fall. In the meantime, let’s light our rockets and get our Jupiter in Aries ON!
Scorpio Full Moon
Total lunar Eclipse
May 15, 2022
9:14pm PDT
The Scorpio Full moon total lunar eclipse two weeks into the cycle will be the first echo off the Taurus solar eclipse. Scorpio knows the power of reducing and ditching. Do we have too many things? Or do our things have too much control over us? Or are we too reliant on other(s) and have lost our way to our own power? How is money and sex being bartered for security? Would we be better served building up our own reserves in some area that give us our own security? Is there a price paid by co-mingling with people we have outgrown? Or is it time to reinvigorate our co-mingling? Perhaps, step up our own creativity and bring it to the game? If stuck of course, the answer with Scorpio is to let go. Death and rebirth are the calling card of Scorpio.
Saturn in Aquarius squares Sun and Moon on the full moon suggests tension from groups, friends, associates in our circles. Perhaps there are responsibilities to a group thrust upon us when all we want to do is take care of our needs. Values may be tested. Taurus knows how to simplify; Scorpio knows how to fly low and avoid the radar. While Saturn may suggest a voice touting “You are not enough or not doing enough,” Pluto Trine Sun and sextile Moon, supports boundaries and the ability to do a little and have maximum input. And of course, Pluto also reinforces the theme of release. We will all need to release on this full moon and then breathe.

Mercury Retrograde
April 26: Mercury shadow begins
May 10 4:37am PDT: Mercury station retrograde 4 Gemini 52
May 22: Mercury re-enters Taurus
June 3 1:00am PDT Mercury station direct 26 Taurus 5
June 13 Mercury enters Gemini
June 18: Mercury shadow ends
· Mercury sextile Jupiter May 19
· Mercury trine Pluto May 25
· Mercury trine Pluto May 28
Our second Mercury retrograde for 2022 begins May 10th. This retrograde will start in Gemini which is ruled by Mercury and go back into Taurus. We had Mercury retrograde in Gemini in 2021 and 2015. Mercury retrogrades in Gemini can be potent and are very similar to the experience of having too many windows open on your computer or too many applications running on your phone. The data volume is so huge that things can lock up. The best move with technology is of course re-booting. The same could be said for our brains during a Mercury retrograde. We could be told too much stuff, from which we try too hard to synthesize things that maybe should not be joined. The power of Gemini is getting the real info on the ground. During the retrograde we may learn that we were missing something key or perhaps we had thought something was one way and yes it was but now it is no longer true. We can also receive info that does not make sense. Mercury retrogrades can be bumpy in general but in Gemini they have an additional level of fatigue because confusion is rooted in either rushing too fast (Gemini is an air sign) or is shallow. The key during this cycle is to refrain from immediate responses, take a beat. Research like crazy. Share information that you are certain is accurate. Be comfortable saying, “I am not sure.” This is not a time for knee jerk reactions. But by far, unplug your brain wherever you can. Consider that you may not know what you do not know. Be dexterous with your thoughts and your communication. We will talk more about the power of adaptability next month in the Gemini lunar cycle, but we are getting a taste of it now with the retrograde. Stretch our adaptability skills in our thoughts and communication for these three weeks and see how it serves us later when the shadow has completed on June 18.
New moon: Plant seeds, make calls, activate, start projects. Activate something that will ideally lead you to more. This is the phase where INTENT is critical. Even if the results are not immediate, the intent is there. You may not have all the answers or road map, but you should put out your Intent.
This focus: What do you value? How are you spending your time? How are you spending your money? How are your resources? What do you need to build from the ground up? Where are your assets? Do they need retooling? Are you and your efforts being valued? Are you valuing others efforts?
Special note:
4/30: Venus conjunct Jupiter. Joy is big. Love is big. The arts are big. The soul feels appreciation.
5/2: Venus enters Aries. Love of energy and dynamic action. Actions about self-serve a purpose that impacts self-love.
Crescent Moon Phase
May 4, 2022
2:53pm PDT
Focus on: What are you learning about your communication? What is your thinking telling you about YOU? What are you learning about getting the facts on the ground? How does your ability to make connections speak to your goals? How are you communicating with siblings and neighbors?
Special Focus
5/5: Sun conjunct Uranus. Once a year aspect, unique out of the blue actions, strange things are accented. Ingenuity can be highlighted and helpful.
