Mercury in Gemini

Astrology Forecast for the Week of June 13, 2022 – June 19, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of June 13, 2022 through June 19, 2022 features four major aspects (Sun trine Saturn, Sun square Neptune, Venus square Saturn, Venus square Neptune), a Full Moon in Sagittarius, and Mercury moves out of Taurus and back into Gemini.

So, after two weeks of slow cosmic activity, the heavens speed up, and we get a pretty busy week.

Let’s dive right in…

Cosmic Overview

This week, we have a Full Moon in Sagittarius, which occurs on Tuesday, June 14, 2022 at 7:52 AM EST/4:52 AM PST. The Full Moon in Sagittarius reflects the need to let go of areas governed by the sign they are in, and in the case of Sagittarius, it’s our beliefs that are on the chopping block. Letting go of beliefs can be a daunting task, because they have often been a main feature of our personal psychology. However, now is the time for you to let go of outdated beliefs that may no longer be useful, and may be hindering your personal growth.

Daily Breakdown

Monday, June 13, 2022

We start the week off with Mercury moving back into Gemini after he slipped back into Taurus during his retrograde cycle. Mercury in Gemini is perfect for fun in the sun, frolicking on the beach, and socializing with others. Mercury moving into Gemini dovetails into the Full Moon in the opposite sign of Sagittarius. So, it may be difficult to focus on practical duties and responsibilities, because you will feel the urge to have some fun.

Tuesday, June 14, 2022

Besides the Full Moon, which occurs a few hours after dawn, the Moon continues to move through Sagittarius and squares Neptune in Pisces. You may suffer from morning brain fog and need to be careful when making decisions throughout the morning hours. Your imagination will be fruitful, but it may be hard to focus on serious concerns. The good news is that later in the day, the Moon leaves the sign of the archer and moves into Capricorn, and your sensibilities should return.

Wednesday, June 15, 2022

The Moon moves through Capricorn and applies to a tense square to Mars in Aries. You may feel easily agitated by people who are shirking their responsibilities or not pulling their own weight. Try to avoid arguments as much as possible, and be proactive. Power struggles, no matter how appealing they may seem, will not work to your advantage.

Thursday, June 16, 2022

On Thursday, we have a collusion of opposites, as the Sun trines productive Saturn and squares befuddling Neptune. You may feel the urge to get things done, but outside forces may alter your plans. Try to focus on tasks that give you the most benefit, and leave the rest for a more favorable astrological cycle.

Friday, June 17, 2022

The Moon moves through social Aquarius, and it’s a great day to spend time with your friends and like-minded individuals. Your mood should be optimistic, and you will enjoy the company of others. Later in the day, you may find yourself mildly annoyed by unexpected events as the Moon squares Uranus.

Saturday, June 18, 2022

Venus in Taurus squares Saturn in Aquarius. You may go through moments of feeling alone and isolated from the rest of the world, and you may have difficulties relating to others. For those in relationships, seek solutions to your problems and look inward for answers on how to improve your connection to others.

Sunday, June 19, 2022

We close the week out with a lovely sextile between Venus and Neptune. Your imagination will be kicked into high gear, and it’s a great day to work on creative projects. You can also use this energy to appreciate art, music, and movies. Relationships and romance also get a boost while this aspect is active.

See you next week!

Astrology Forecast for the Week of May 9, 2022 – May 15, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of May 9, 2022 through May 15, 2022 features two planetary aspects (Sun square Saturn and Sun sextile Neptune), Mercury turning retrograde in Gemini, and Jupiter moving out of Pisces and into Aries.

So, there is a lot going on this week. Let’s dive right in.

Cosmic Overview

This week, the cosmic juggernaut Jupiter moves out of Pisces (he will return later in the year) and into Aries. In astrology, Jupiter is the planet of expansion – he makes our lives grow bigger, better, bolder, and hopefully wiser. When Jupiter moves into a new sign, he expands the natural tendencies of the sign, and since he is moving into Aries, get ready for a giant dose of get up and go.

The sign of Aries is extremely individualistic and concerned with matters related to the self. Some keywords associated with Aries are initiating, energetic, forceful, and courageous. When Jupiter moves through the sign of the ram, he will expand our lives by pushing our individual selves forward. So, this is an excellent time to go after whatever you want in life, whether career related, your personal goals, or your inner desires. Jupiter gives us the ability to make things happen, and the drive and determination to succeed.

Overall, it is time for you to seize your moment! Don’t let this energy pass you by, it only comes around every 12 years.

Daily Breakdown

Monday, May 9, 2022

The Moon moves through energetic Leo and opposes Saturn early in the day. The Moon in opposition to Saturn could lead to feelings of isolation, negative mindsets, and difficulties with authority figures. After the Moon opposes Saturn, it goes void of course, until she moves into Virgo. While the Moon is void of course, it’s best to avoid beginning anything new or signing documents. The Moon moves into Virgo at 6:53 PM EST/3:53 PST.

Tuesday, May 10, 2022

Besides Jupiter moving into Aries, Mercury turns retrograde in Gemini. Mercury retrograde in Gemini instructs us to look at our thoughts and opinions, and make adjustments if necessary. Avoid making major decisions and expect communication issues. Also, make sure you keep your computer and electronic devices updated and backed up. Since Mercury rules Gemini, you can expect this retrograde to be a doozy.

Wednesday, May 11, 2022

The Moon continues its trip through Virgo and forms tense aspects to Mars and Neptune. Mild disagreements with others may occur during the early morning hours. Be as proactive as possible, and avoid reacting to other people’s issues. Later in the day, the Moon opposes Neptune. You may experience some mild confusion, and it’s best not to make any decisions at this time.

Thursday, May 12, 2022

The Moon moves into Libra during the early morning hours and opposes Jupiter, Venus and trines Mercury. Although this is not the best day for heavy lifting, it’s an excellent day to spend some time enjoying your life and having some good old-fashioned fun. You will also want to socialize and connect with others.

Friday, May 13, 2022

The Moon continues to move through Libra and forms a lovely trine to Saturn in Aquarius. Yesterday was about fun in the Sun, but today is all about taking care of business. Make sure you take time out today to take care of your duties and responsibilities. Legal matters may also be an issue.

Saturday, May 14, 2022

The Moon moves into Scorpio, the sign of the upcoming lunar eclipse that happens on Monday. Expect intense emotions to surface, and problems from the past may need resolution. Try to be as non-reactive as possible when dealing with others, because they may be potentially volatile.

Sunday, May 15, 2022

We close the week with a few solar aspects, the most significant being the Sun square Saturn. Today is a battle between your personal gratification and your duties and responsibilities. You may feel depressed and restrictive, and you may want to break free of your circumstances. Try to push away negative thoughts if they surface.

Make sure you go over anything contractual thoroughly. Make sure all the i’s are dotted, and all the t’s are crossed. If you can get away with it, wait until after the retrograde to sign on the dotted line.
Avoid starting anything new. New projects tend to have communication problems and mishaps when initiated during this process.
Put a watch on your tongue. (If it is not worth saying, don’t say it)
Check your vehicles for any potential problems. Before Mercury goes retrograde, is the best time for a service call.
Avoid buying real estate or renting apartments. Usually, this means you will move again during a future Mercury Rx.
Using mail delivery services that offer tracking and insurance.
Check, recheck, and check again any travel plans you have or appointments on the books.
If you do travel, don’t take anything of importance or value. Only bring items that you do not care if they are lost or stolen.
Expect people from the past to resurface. However, once they crawl out of whatever cavern they came from, proceed with caution.
Back up all electronic devices.
Avoid buying an automobile.
Mercury Rx is a great time to scour places (online and offline) for great deals!

Astrology Forecast for the week of April 25, 2022 – May 1, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of April 25, 2022 through May 1, 2022 features 5 major aspects (Mercury sextile Jupiter, Venus conjunct Neptune, Mercury trine Pluto, Venus conjunct Jupiter, Venus sextile Pluto), a sign change for Mercury and a Solar Eclipse in Taurus.

So, the last week of April is like the first week of April – busy as hell!

Let’s dive right in.

Cosmic Overview

The headliner this week is the solar eclipse in Taurus that occurs on Saturday afternoon. Solar eclipses are potent New Moons that can be troublesome. All you have to do is watch the headlines, and eclipse event after eclipse event will appear. Since the eclipse is in money-oriented Taurus, you can expect to see financial headlines, abrupt changes in the stock market, and recently held values of the collective begin to shift., especially since this eclipse is conjoined to disruptive Uranus. This is an excellent time to look at your fiscal picture and get real about your financial status. You may need to create a budget and trim the excess fat, but since the Moon is exalted in Taurus (and Venus, the ruler of Taurus, is also exalted in Pisces and conjoined beneficial Jupiter), and if you do the work, positive results will follow.

For all the magic users out there, I do not recommend aggressive magic. Instead, I recommend protection and cleansing based magical activities.

Daily Breakdown

Monday, April 25, 2022

The Moon moves through emotional Pisces. It’s a great day to get in touch with your feelings and do some spiritual work, like meditation, prayer, positive affirmations, or channeling. Later this evening, the Moon sextiles Mars, giving you the energy to get things done or take initiative on a project. Emotional situations that need resolution may surface in a manner that allows you to communicate your feelings honestly and openly. Clean up your side of the street if an opportunity presents itself.

Tuesday, April 26, 2022

The Moon continues its monthly trip through Pisces and forms a lovely sextile to Uranus in Taurus. You may want to shake things up and bring a fresh bit of excitement into your life. If new experiences present themselves, take advantage of them. After all, you only live once.

Wednesday, April 27, 2022

It’s going to be a big picture day, as Mercury forms a lovely sextile to Jupiter in Pisces. Spend the day focusing on your hopes and wishes, and setting your intentions to make them happen. Mercury sextile Jupiter is also good for business negotiations, meetings, and planning long-term strategies. Later today, Venus forms a lovely sextile to Neptune in Pisces. This is the perfect energy for some romance and a date night.

Thursday, April 28, 2022

Before Mercury heads into his sign of Gemini, he trines Pluto in Capricorn. It’s an excellent day to do inner work and transformative healing. You may want to take some alone time to look at what needs to change in your life. Meditation and journaling to get your thoughts and feelings out in the open are recommended.

Friday, April 29, 2022

Mercury leaves the structured world of Taurus and enters his own sign of Gemini. Whereas Taurus is concerned with reality, Gemini’s focus is on thoughts, ideas, and conversation. While Mercury is in Gemini, you will feel more social and want to share your thoughts and opinions with others. You may feel mentally restless and want to learn about new things and pursue subjects that fascinate you. Just an aside, Mercury will turn retrograde in Gemini on May 10^th.

Saturday, April 30, 2022

Although we have a potent solar eclipse in Taurus that occurs during the afternoon, we also have both benefics (Venus and Jupiter) conjoining in Pisces. Venus conjoin Jupiter is positive and is exceptionally good for relationships and financial matters. It’s an excellent day to spend with those you care about, and if you need to repair a relationship, it’s an auspicious day to do so. The only drawback to Venus-Jupiter is that it can sometimes get carried away and has little self-control. Check yourself regularly.

Sunday, May 1, 2022

We close the week with Venus forming a harmonious sextile to Pluto. Friendships and relationships will be important to you today, especially those that give you value and meaning. Intense emotions may surface, but spending time getting to the root of your feelings will harvest many rewards.

See you next week!
