Overview

We’ve been wallowing in disbelief, throwing out expectations and watching democracy go down the drain. That’s the Jupiter sextile aspect to Neptune overshadowing cultural identities for the last few weeks. A contender for high office contacts the polluting industry and promises reversals in policy if he regains office. Is anyone listening? He contacts the enemies of democracy the promises support. Is this to make America great again? The working sextile needs a push to get results, and this manipulation artist will do everything it takes. Apparently, his significant motivation is to outrun his criminality. Dis-information rules the headlines, as Jupiter heads into Gemini.

Looking ahead

Summary of major and minor aspects of the week

Wednesday May 29^th — The Moon in Aquarius makes a sextile aspect to Mars/Chiron conjunction aspect in Aries. The Moon is disposed of and square aspect to Uranus in Taurus, a fixed sign aspect. With this disposition the Moon indicates a strong commitment to action taken. Pluto retro in Aquarius makes a trine aspect to Jupiter in Gemini, while Ceres retro in Capricorn makes a trine aspect to Mercury in Taurus. The Moon separated from the square aspect to Mercury a few hours before this contact, stirring the emotional sense that healing needs to take place when Ceres may try to smooth the path. The demands for rational analysis to determine cause or set a policy dominate as the Sun in Gemini stands as the power of the bowl formation from Capricorn to Gemini, needing determination of facts on the ground. Jupiter, in an out-of-sign sextile aspect to Pisces in Neptune, indicates vulnerability in determining the rational path forward.

Thursday May 30^th — The Moon ingress Pisces 00:34 UTC; 20:34 EDT (on Wednesday); 03:34 EEDT, passing midway between the semi-sextile aspects to Neptune in Pisces and to Pluto in Aquarius. The Moon makes the disseminating square aspect to the Sun in Gemini at 17:14 UTC, [see chart insert] the last quarter of the lunar phase, a time for inner growth. As a new cycle will begin on June 8^th, we can now prepare by discarding assumption that are outgrown, as we are challenged to change inwardly in preparation to meet changes that the universe is presenting to us. Saturn in Pisces transits slowly now, as it is preparing to turn retrograde on June 30^th. Thus, it has a stronger impact. The Moon transits Saturn late in the day (US time zones) morning on Friday for UK, EU, and ME nations, indicating a critical time for personal identity. Venus in Gemini approaching the conjunction aspect to the Sun, also is square aspect to the Moon. The Lunar challenge is to create a re-alignment of agreed upon policy guidelines in the context of friendly relations. Mercury approaches the conjunction aspect to Uranus in Taurus, indicating expression of radical or reform intentions.

Friday May 31^st — The Sun and Venus are in a conjunction aspect in Gemini, as Mercury the dispositor transcends the conjunction aspect with Uranus in Taurus. Mars in Aries approaches the semi-sextile aspect to Uranus/Mercury indicating a goal to radicalize the proposals, suggesting dissatisfaction.  Possibly, a plan for a transfer of hostages is rejected. The Moon in Pisces is sextile aspect to Uranus/Mercury, indicating a deterioration in agreement. Jupiter in Gemini approaches the partile trine aspect with Pluto retro in Aquarius as resolutions for a comprehensive solution are made in secret. With Neptune conjunction aspect to the midpoint of Jupiter/Pluto trine aspect, the need to eliminate evil at its source could not be clearer.

Saturday June 1^st — Moon ingress Aries 03:29 UTC; 23:29 EDT (Friday PM); 06:29 EEDT as the Moon transits the conjunction aspect with Neptune in the final degree of Pisces, and sextile aspect to Pluto retro in Aquarius after the ingress, we desire to move forward into a new era. Jupiter in Gemini trine aspect to Pluto retro elevates discussion to universal concerns. Venus approaching the conjunction aspect with the Sun in Gemini with advancing interpersonal discussions. Mars in Aries semi-sextile aspect to Uranus in Taurus could trigger focused strikes. The Moon makes sextile aspects to Venus and Sun in the afternoon hours (US time zones), evening hours in UK, EU, and ME, followed by a conjunction aspect to Rahu, indicating actions taken after consultations. However, great danger could accompany any action taken now.

Sunday June 2^nd — The Venus conjunction aspect with the Sun in Gemini reaches partile, and Jupiter in Gemini trine aspect to Pluto retro in Aquarius strengthens. Disputes rage as good fortune is consumed. Powerful enemies may take revenge. Mercury in Taurus sextile aspect to Neptune in Pisces indicates that mediation is attempted.  Mercury then transits into its home sign of Gemini. The Moon in Aries makes a square aspect to Ceres in Capricorn, indicating a forceful release of hostages, as the Moon transits conjunction aspects to Chiron and Mars.

Monday June 3^rd — The Moon ingress Taurus with a semi-sextile aspect to Neptune in Pisces then sextile aspect to Pluto retro in Aquarius, then semi-sextile aspect to Mercury and Jupiter in Gemini. The ability to turn negativity into useful conversations that can produce agreement is a gift. Mercury transits from the sextile aspect to Neptune to the trine aspect to Pluto. The deterioration of a past era coincides with envisioning a new more universally comprehensive civilization. Venus in a partile conjunction aspect with the Sun prepares to go through the fire to be reborn.

Tuesday June 4^th — The Moon in Taurus is sextile aspect to Saturn in Pisces early today, and trine aspect to Ceres retro in Capricorn, applying structure to chaos to find closure. Venus, the ruler of Taurus is in a combust conjunction aspect with the Sun, and unable to provide any support. The Moon indicates that some benefit can be derived from the lack of structure if one can accept the release of suffering. Mercury in Gemini supersedes Jupiter, and trine aspect to Pluto retro in Capricorn, galvanizes the political storm as convictions are processed and the Moon transits Uranus. The Moon ingress to Gemini 08:37 UTC on Wednesday; 04:37 EDT on Wednesday; 11:37 EEDT also on Wednesday morning, sextile aspect to Neptune in Pisces and trine aspect to Pluto retro in Aquarius. Reversals bring about a force that restores order.
