Astrology for 5/20/2024 Monday

Theme: Mercurial!

The Sun has entered Gemini bringing a swiftness to engagements, communications, journeys and writing – not to mention increased activities with siblings. The Twins represent Gemini and embody both the light and dark aspects of the sign -the bright and sunny side – and the more hidden and shadowy, changeable sides to the sign. So always be prepared for sudden shifts in direction during this month either from people or via events.

All that we are looking for in life – all the happiness, contentment, and peace of mind – is right here in the present moment. Our very own awareness is itself fundamentally pure and good.~Mingyur Rinpoche

Theme: Free flowing ideas

Ideas flow freely with Mercury trine the Moon today. It’s easier to hear what others are saying, express your feelings, and feel heard. The Moon is also square the Sun which produces tension, and this yet offers another kind of opportunity in finding new ways to express yourself and break from old emotional patterns. Jupiter exerts its influence on both the Sun and Moon offering glimpses into expanding your horizons and concept of self.

To understand just one life you have to swallow the world …Salman Rushdie

Theme: Squaring the circle

The Moon squares a potent group of planets today – Venus, Uranus, Sun and Jupiter – who are in turn bouncing off one another. So it’s a powerful, and emotionally deep day in many ways. It helps to find time for reflection and contemplation in order to understand how you are being pulled in different directions and how, in turn you can find your center. Pluto has begun to go retrograde for the last time this year so those with planets in early Aquarius/late Capricorn in particular will have an opportunity to integrate this intense, yet transformative time.

At all times, do not lose courage in your inner awareness, uplift yourself, while assuming a humble position in your outer demeanor… Place everyone, good, bad, and in-between, above yourself.~HH Dudjom Rinpoche

Theme: Testing, yet freeing times times

With the Sun and Uranus still in a very tight conjunction you get a better understanding of freedom and it’s ingredients. The pressure Uranus exerts on the Sun asks for some self-sacrifice and separation, and in that process you develop a better understanding of how freedom is linked to change, and visa versa. It’s also a good time for dealing with electrical issues and projections requiring precision. The Moon in Leo invites creativity, play and how you express dignity into your daily life for the next couple of days.

The real prostration is to meditate. Watch the mind and go out and help sentient beings.~Kyabje Thinley Norbu Rinpoche

Theme: Quickening

With the new Moon in Gemini transactions, communications and short-distance travel speeds up. Conversation is easier but not necessarily deep. Boredom is the enemy of Gemini energy so activity generally is on the cards. Saturn squares the Moon providing emotional bumps: try not to withdraw from others but self-examine the causes of feeling separated. The Sun and Venus in Taurus continue to provide a steadying influence.

Only when we come home to ourselves and get in touch with ourselves can we really see ourselves and others and be in touch with the world around us.~Thich Nhat Hahn

Theme: Harmony of the spheres

With the Sun and Moon conjunct in Taurus it’s a time for reflection, review in preparation for beginning a new cycle of activity. Taurus is ruled by Venus and there is a real commitment to harmony and peace, through practical acts. On another front you have a real opportunity, with Chiron conjunct Mercury to move into a more beneficial way of thinking that is more self-honest.

Theme: Strengthening

As Mars pulls away from Neptune your sense of self is more solidified and your boundaries are clearer – which is good for individual physical energy but has challenges when it comes to choosing between self-interest and the greater good. Nevertheless physical health is also important in being able to help others. The Sun in Taurus reminds us that self-care can also increase a sense of security.

It is the ego that wants to punish and criticize; it actually thrives on such activities! The best, most reliable medicine for this disease of mind stuck in ‘ego-made’ is simply to relax. That’s it.~Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche

Theme: Warrior energy

Mars has moved into Aries bringing a firebrand into play, but also energy that enables you to strengthen and move forward, as long as you don’t stir up battles along the way, depleting your gains. With the Moon square the Sun today there is some feeling of dissonance, which is reinforced by a feeling of separation as the Moon squares Uranus. The antidote is finding a place or space where you feel interconnected.

Diversity in counsel, unity in command.~Cyrus the Great
