Overview

Stationary Saturn in Aquarius reverses apparent motion to retrograde on Monday 24^th of May, then doubly approaching a trine aspect to Uranus in Taurus, as the Moon in Scorpio is in an opposition aspect to Uranus later in the day.  Saturn may represent limiting conflicts, perhaps unilaterally for a cease fire. Diplomatic efforts are then able to bring calm.  Later, next week, before the Full Moon in Sagittarius, the Moon transits from Leo through Scorpio. The Sun ingress to Gemini is on the 20^st of May. The chart of the ingress is very potent (See notes for 20^th and chart insert).
