The Basics
Feminine, Venusian, auspicious — this astro-weather is divine! All week, we’ve been building to a full moon in Sagittarius that crests today. While this is leading to a sense of culmination, it’s light and full, not dank like that Scorpio moon.
Venus also conjoins Jupiter, making today a big, fluffy layer cake of luck. You may remember Venus’ mansion suffering from black mold at the top of the month — today, sexy handyman Jupiter comes in to clear it all up (and stay for a fantasy-inspired sleepover). The full moon in Sag basically makes this an entire house (read: play) party dunked in harmony, and happiness. You don't have to struggle for contentment under this signature — it just arrives.
Plus, it’s now Gemini season! As you’ve heard, this dual-bodied sign is characterized by the image of twins — or, in a less literal sense, the existence of two impulses churning in a singular person. Gemini flitters — noncommittal and curious, they flirt, try, taste, travel. Expect to feel a bit scattered. Multiple simultaneous realities can overwhelm or conflict with each other.
Big payouts have been slowly on the way since eclipse season: financial security, for example, or other wins that finally let us take a vacation (with Sag around, travel is always on the table, especially to foreign lands). Milestones like completing a degree are also very literal here, as Sag rules higher education and universities. Graduation day, anyone?
In the News
The moon, which symbolizes a collective, becoming full in Sagittarius, the activist and humanitarian, means this week is wonderful for advancing big-picture movements (like these ones happening on campuses). Wins are possible with this energy — keep fighting!
Tech, AI, cryptocurrency, and social media are transforming under this transit, as Jupiter in Gemini has a viral quality (and he’ll be here for the next year).
Weekly Highlights & Sign Specifics
On Monday, the Sun hit 0° of Gemini. We’re getting busy-busy, talkie-talkie, lots of texting, emailing, DMs, etc. However, with Mercury, Uranus, Venus and Jupiter all in Taurus, there's still a lot of fixed earth grounding down the hyper-mobile twins.
Today, Jupiter and Venus conjoin at 29° of Taurus! The Moon is also at 0° of Sagittarius and getting ready to be full and buoyant — extremely auspicious. Emotionally, this focuses us on expansion, seeking truth. Discover your sense of sustainable freedom. Taurus provides a lusty quality here, and brings financial stability.
Taurus: associated with integrity, you’re getting good karma today. Sagittarius, even Gemini, will also feel this most palpably. Pisces should benefit too, and I hope Libras catch a break (it's been a really hard year for you with the South Node there).
But: if you have Mars, Saturn, Pluto, even Neptune or Uranus at 29° of the fixed signs — Taurus, Scorpio, Leo and Aquarius — this can be challenging. You may need to make a major adjustment to receive a windfall or opportunity. This degree point with Jupiter and Venus can sometimes mean power struggles. If you don't know, book a reading.
Potential malefic Neptune — God of illusions, fantasy, spirituality, the numinous — is at the anoretic, or final, degree of Pisces. He's been in Pisces since 2012 and is trying to close a storyline around our delusions, real and unreal.
Pisces (suns and risings) and other mutable signs (Virgo, Gemini and Sag): reflect on what started in 2012 that could be concluding.
On Saturday, Jupiter enters Gemini, amping up the season’s chatty curiosity and social impulses. Venus, also newly in Gemini, trines Pluto at 2°of Aquarius. Things will feel intense, but can transform and expand us, likely through communications, writing, technology. You may join groups that bring money or education. Take note of what happens this day — it’s a significant one.
Rex’s Recs:
Do:
Be curious. Experimenting, trying new things or taking weird directions is very aligned with Gemini, who wants to further its sense of self.
Socialize. Gemini and Sagittarius are very social signs; with Venus around, relationships flow easily. All of us may feel more attracted to each other — be out and about, experience physical beauty, enjoy the rose-colored glasses.
Reflect on what happened May 8 through tomorrow for information about how to stabilize and what’s emerging long term.
Accept financial offers. The full moon in Sag makes this very fruitful!
Have philosophical discussions. Big-picture Sagittarius loves a deep intellectual conversation, getting into the nitty gritty, and being an expert in something.
Don’t:
Overcommit. A love of sampling means Gemini has a hard time with follow-through. Don’t start a bunch of projects you can't finish.
Hang on. Now through September, we’re letting go of fantasies that no longer aid our journey while others come true. Don’t fight it.
