The pollen-filled season of Gemini is upon us. The drifting pollen can bring forth beautiful seeds but also irritate in the process. Gemini’s symbol is a set of twins, but it could also be bees buzzing between flowers creating the next season’s harvest. As Jupiter joins the sun and Venus in Gemini, it’s time to cross-pollinate our world; converse, investigate, tell stories, find humor, and negotiate a healthy future.
Gemini energy asks us to talk to people as if they are siblings, true equals. Listen to the grapevine, gather and share information, then sort it all out rather than repeat everything. Bits of truth can float in on gossip, but we need to sift out the fluff and projection. Listen as well as talk, make it a true dialogue, and avoid oversimplification.
Good communication can be essential with motivating Mars still in its own feisty Aries; tempers can stay as feisty as tornado alley. As Memorial Day weekend begins, a peripatetic Sagittarius moon calls us out to wander. Over the weekend a more industrious Capricorn moon could encourage us to tackle a major household project.
Relationships could feel off-kilter or out of sync midweek unless we keep those lines of communication open as Venus semi-squares Mars. An urge to instigate change and a flash of genius percolate later in the week as Mercury conjuncts Uranus.
FRIDAY, MAY 24: We can chafe at some delay or speak with impatience as the Sagittarius moon squares Saturn this morning. Hold on and soften the resistance, because the energy flows more smoothly and direct in the afternoon as the moon trines Mars. Finish up work and start the weekend early.
SATURDAY, MAY 25: Listen to the heart’s longing this morning as Venus trines Pluto; be aware of years gone by and miles yet to travel. Review the bucket list as Jupiter enters Gemini and take a step forward. A personal project beckons and offers a sense of accomplishment afterward under a competent Capricorn moon. Watch the weather and trouble around water.
SUNDAY, MAY 26: Either focus on a satisfying project or get out of the house as the Capricorn moon trines Mercury. Don’t take disgruntlement personally; list achievable goals and tend them. Consider talking over long range plans with a loose and creative approach.
MONDAY, MAY 27: We may need to sit with memories as the sun semi-squares Chiron and Aquarius conjuncts Pluto. Respect the water under the bridge, the role of history, and community. After a weekend off, the evening can send this back to work or help us organize for the week ahead as Mercury sextiles Saturn, bringing a pragmatic edge to an otherwise scattered perspective.
TUESDAY, MAY 28: Take advantage of some love aspects to speak up, share words, and nurture all relationships as the Aquarius moon trines the sun and Venus in Gemini — all collaborative air signs. Watch that nerves don’t spin just for something to do. Use that air sign power to make an overture, write a proposal, or call an old friend.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 29: Danger, rebellion, slapstick, restlessness, camaraderie, and loneliness — there’s so much going on. Notice each feeling swirling through like clouds at sunset. An ephemeral mood speaks a truth but is not the truth. Take note but look for what is enduring underneath.
THURSDAY, MAY 30: Notice a compulsion to break routine and make a daring change as Mercury conjuncts Uranus, even as the sensitive Pisces moon can make it scary to take a risk. It will honestly be safer if, instead of fighting ourselves with ambiguity, we move forward with thoughtful awareness. ◀
