Lunar Living Astrology

This new moon is trying hard to work to our advantage. The Sun, Moon, and Mercury conjoin in Gemini, are sextile to Saturn and Neptune in Aries, plus trine to Pluto retrograde in Aquarius. This aligns our spiritual, ethical, and moral values to help us sort through the events of the day, or week, for that matter. We may need to rethink our past values to get on board with the issues resting on our doorstep. What we decide with these will give us the strength to speak our minds and push back on ideologies that are out of date. Gemini is quick to remind us that every individual, regardless of their past, has value within the collective society.

Mars in Leo is trine to Venus in Aries, encouraging us to look past gender differences and find value in the ways differences bring balance in our lives. Fixing problems may not be about an actual “fix” but in finding new ways to approach the problem. Venus and Mars working together can help us with that perspective shift.

Jupiter in Gemini is forming out of sign squares to Saturn and Neptune in Aries. This influence is less obvious to us as we work through roles in troubling situations. We sometimes work too hard to get ahead, only to realize that we are missing other important aspects that need balance, and not merely headstrong determination. We may make promises that we simply can't keep, and rather than confront our avoidances, we may pretend like the promises don't really matter. Jupiter will ingress Cancer on June 9, helping to bring more clarity to these challenges with Saturn and Neptune.

The new moon lacks balance in the receptive placements. We will need to work through our desires to be overly optimistic, forgetting that practicality and pessimism have their own roles in keeping us on track. The vast majority of the planets during this new moon are in Fire and Air signs, meaning that we are likely to burn out too quickly if we don't hold anything back for later. Our ideas are meaningless if we don't balance them with the current situation.
