A grand-trine and a full Moon spell success — May 31-June 7 2023

Overview

The Full Moon in Sagittarius on June 4 signifies the high point of this lunar cycle, against the Gemini Sun. In mutable signs, there is adaptability, and thus a compromise to enable responsible outcomes. Other indications are noted in the summary below. The Moon ingress to Capricorn early on Monday (June 5th) and Venus makes its ingress to Leo also on Monday.  The synchronicity is compelling. Remember the US motto is “In God We Trust.” The debt limit will be reset, the government’s programs will be financed, and recipients of aid will be able to pay their bills, although dissatisfaction is inherent in this compromise. Venus in Leo opposition aspect to Pluto on Monday and Tuesday, while the Moon transits the conjunction aspect with Pluto on Wednesday and continues to square aspect with Jupiter in Taurus. Ceres in Virgo is in opposition aspect to Neptune in Pisces, and the Moon makes a square aspect to Jupiter in Taurus. A grand trine in water signs facilitates agreement.

Looking ahead
Pluto returns to Capricorn on June 10th for a 7 month’s stay, returning to Aquarius on January 21, 2024. Saturn turns retro on June 18th and will be in retro motion until November 5th, 2023.

Shifting powers and vulnerabilities — May 24 -31 2023 

Overview   

On Wednesday, the Moon ingress to Leo with a square aspect to Jupiter in Aries, conjunction with Mars in Leo and sextile aspect to the Sun in Gemini, as well as an opposition aspect to Pluto in Aquarius. The word “vainglorious” comes to mind. While certain presidential candidates are known for compulsive boasting, it could also indicate heroic actions to achieve victory, or maybe a false claim of victory. It could then indicate a downfall, reversing positive public image. A change in strategy would be successful for the opponent. Jupiter activates Rahu by conjunction aspect, indicating political instability and social or economic disruptions. In Taurus the financial systems are affected by radical investments, then triggering a crash. Mars in Leo sextile aspect to the Sun indicates innovation as well as risk taking. The Moon in a square aspect to the Sun on Saturday, both in signs ruled by Mercury, at the 3rd Quarter-Moon phase, could see a break-down in pretense, and attempts to rebuild through personal charm. The Moon in an opposition aspect to Saturn in Pisces, makes a T-square configuration with the Sun at the apex.

Summary of Major Aspects of the Week

Wednesday May 24th — The Moon exits the watery sign Cancer with a taste of Neptune in a trine aspect and mourning tragic losses. The ingress to Leo brings a more joyful attitude, although wasting no time with a conjunction aspect to Mars, a square aspect to Jupiter in Taurus and an opposition aspect to Pluto in Aquarius for a T-square configuration. The situation is dicey, with plenty of pressure and drama. Who will cave on the debt limit, and what compromise if any will be made? Jupiter in a conjunction aspect with Rahu (the North Lunar Node) signals that the decisions will have consequences (which we already know). In the sign Taurus finances are the substance of the matter. Power plays (planets) are the tools of government office. Venus in Gemini is in a sextile aspect to Uranus in Taurus and square aspect to Chiron in Aries. The situation requires a delicate and respectful approach. Mercury in Taurus disposed of by Venus (Venus is the ruler of Taurus), as it comes out of the shadow in direct motion. The opening moves are made in the preliminary discussions. Mars in a sextile aspect to the Sun in Gemini and square aspect to Jupiter adds drama an urgency to the situation that could be less focused on results.

Thursday May 25th — The Moon in Leo in a square aspect to Mercury in Taurus early today (pre-dawn US time zones) could have activated the dream state and prompt future actions. The T-square in fixed signs lessens its grip as Mars moves forward in Leo, although Pluto retro in Aquarius and Jupiter in Taurus remain in a square aspect, as tradition and innovation are difficult to reconcile. Loving reform as long as it adheres to your own standards could be a stumbling block. Ceres stands apart in the opposite hemisphere, approaching the opposition aspect to Neptune in Pisces, will reach partile to the Neptune opposition aspect on June 10th.  A dwarf planet, Ceres in Virgo denotes natural healing while seeking redemption. The opposition aspect to Neptune mirrors some of Ceres’ concerns. The loss of control over reproduction and physical natural processes, the loss of civilian lives under attack, and the loss of financial assistance are somehow intertwined in the symbology. Many incidents reflect the theme of redemption. June 10th could be a turning point for many of the forementioned issues.  Venus in Cancer square aspect to Chiron in Aries and sextile aspect to Uranus in Taurus, challenges the process of compromise on the economic front. Friendly relations hold a key to the favorable outcome. Jupiter conjunction aspect to Rahu in Taurus amplifies the consequences of a lack in accountability.    

Friday May 26th — The Sun in Gemini approaches the square aspect to Saturn in Pisces, imposing limitations on the process while open to more flexibility. The Moon in Leo makes a quincunx aspect to Neptune in Pisces. Pride in achievement is questionable. The Moon ingress to Virgo (3:06 UT on Saturday) late in the evening hours US time zones, as contingency plans are made.

May 27, 2023

Saturday May 27th — At the first quarter Moon [view chart insert], a T-square formation with the Moon in Virgo in opposition aspect to Saturn in Pisces, square aspect to Mercury in Gemini is in mutable signs, and naturally has more flexibility as the adaptation to a situation improves since the Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Solutions seem to be imminent. Mercury in its own sign is the dispositor of the Sun, Moon, and Ceres. Workable solutions are found to the impasse in the national dept limit.  Radical elements are reigned in as Chiron, with the wisdom of experience, in Aries, sextile aspect to Uranus. Jupiter supersedes the conjunction aspect with Rahu.

Sunday May 28th — The Moon in Virgo makes a quincunx aspect to Chiron and a trine aspect to Uranus in Taurus early today, and a bold announcement is made close to the deadline for debt limit relief. The Moon is in a sextile aspect to Venus in Cancer, with Moon the dispositor of Venus. The path of least resistance has its appeal. The Moon is a final dispositor and with Neptune final dispositors as Venus reaches the opposition aspect to Neptune, as a negotiated settlement is made. Some progress could also be made in the appeal for an end to the war in Ukraine.

Monday May 29th — The Moon ingress to Libra with a trine aspect to Pluto in Aquarius is at 14:51 UT (11 am EDT). A transformative day as a narrow escape reverberates. The Moon makes a quincunx aspect to Jupiter and a sextile aspect to Mars in Leo in the afternoon hours, US time zones, then a quincunx aspect to Saturn in Pisces, as details to the agreements are published. Limitations on water resources, financial assistance or subsidies on renewal projects are concerning. The Moon trine aspect to the Sun in Gemini helps to smooth the way forward.   

Tuesday May 30th — The Moon in Libra is in mutual reception to Venus in Cancer, as they coordinate in a manner like a conjunction aspect. In cardinal signs, more aggressive responses are made that seem to support that of adversaries as agreements are made to benefit the communities. Mars in Leo makes a quincunx aspect to Saturn in Pisces, as prideful statements are made despite underlying uncertainty. The Moon makes quincunx aspects to Mercury and Uranus in Taurus, as the balance of responsibility continues to shift.

A Stellium in Taurus at the New Moon — May 18 – 24 2023    

Overview 

The New Moon in the final degrees of Taurus, along with a stellium in Taurus, at the Jupiter ingress to Taurus, are significant astrological events this week. Jupiter was last in Taurus from the 5th of June 2011 until 11th of June 2012 as the recovery form the Great Recession was gaining speed. Jupiter has a 12-year cycle (give or take a few weeks). A Taurus focus indicates the need to honor personal values, income level and the ability to operate effectively in the economy. Jupiter could bring benefits with increased income, although perhaps the overall inflation will limit our ability to gain significantly. The stellium in Taurus increases the likelihood that this segment of the zodiac will affect everyone. Income, job prospects and overall security are in focus during the next few weeks.  The New Moon in Taurus on the 19th of May is the first New Moon following the eclipse on May 5th. The introduction of AI chat into every household will change educational methods, as standard knowledge is at the fingertips. Mars ingress to Leo is in opposition aspect to Pluto and square aspect to Jupiter as the Sun ingress to Gemini, sextile aspect to Mars on Saturday. US budgetary problems are likely to be resolved following the New Moon. Jupiter indicates that credit is expanded, and new economic policies to satisfy the holdouts. On Monday (May 22nd), Mars in Leo is square aspect to Jupiter indicating some dramatists will seek advantage at a crucial moment, threatening to derail an agreement. The Moon ingress to Leo on Wednesday (May 24th) in opposition aspect to Pluto and square aspect to Jupiter could prolong the incidence while bringing solutions.  Jupiter makes a conjunction aspect with Rahu (the North Lunar Node) indicating that long-term solutions are also possible.

Who is in Control? — May 10 – 18 2023  

Note: This week Gimelstar Newsletter covers an additional day, as I will be away for the next week. Next week I will begin with Thursday the 18th of May.  

Overview

The eclipse at the Full Moon represents sudden reversals that may occur within 2 months on either side of the date of the eclipse. This is especially relevant on a personal level, if the eclipse degree, either of the luminaries, falls on a planet’s position in a natal chart. The coronation of Charles III on May 6th following the eclipse, elevated the status of Prince to that of Monarch of British Commonwealth Nations. It is not surprising that in his natal chart (Mercury, Sun, and Chiron in Taurus) [see chart insert] Mercury and Sun are equidistant from the eclipse degree. Venus in the coronation chart is doubly approaching Charles natal Uranus retro in Gemini, with a 1-degree orb of influence, and opposition aspect to his natal Jupiter in Sagittarius. Transiting Sun in Taurus supersedes the position of Uranus thereby highlighting the change in status and the order of ascension. Individual personalities gain in stature in the fixed earth sign of Taurus. The Moon in Capricorn makes a conjunction aspect to Pluto at the ingress to Aquarius late Wednesday. Venus transiting the sign of Cancer makes a trine aspect to Saturn in Pisces late Thursday as the Moon makes a square aspect to Uranus and the Sun. Mars in Cancer makes a trine aspect to Neptune in Pisces on Sunday and Monday, with the Moon ingress Aries. Ceres in Virgo makes a trine aspect to the Sun. The stellar kaleidoscope is constantly changing. Major shifts in our relationships to power and control are underway.
