Full Moon 2016-05-21 (Grand Cross, Kite, Hele, and Thor’s Hammer)

This Full Moon marks an important turning point.  The FM perfects on the 21st, the day before Mercury Direct Station on the 22nd.  And, the FM is in the “too early to tell” parts of Sagittarius and Gemini.  That means that more will be revealed to us, particularly if you are a Sagittarius or Gemini.

Because of the presence of a Grand Cross, with Astraea in Virgo and Pallas in Pisces, that same admonishment applies to Virgo and Pisces as well.  If you are Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces, then you about to receive a major surprise, most likely a beneficial one, but nevertheless a surprise.

Here is the Full Moon (FM), filtered for the Grand Cross:

We also have a slightly longer term Thor’s Hammer (God’s Fist) present that covers the few days before the…

Full Moon in Sagittarius, May 21st, 2016, 2:14pm Pacific.
This Full Moon is conjunct Mars Retrograde in Sagittarius. Ordinarily this brings impatience and temper tantrums, but Sag’s ruler Jupiter is currently in Virgo – giving us some restraint, maturity and focus on self care.

Sagittarius is the sign of the Centaur, Archer, Wild Horse and Wounded Healer. What are you aiming at? This full moon is about reviewing the goals you set for yourself at the Spring Equinox, March 21st. Or write some goals down on paper. It’s good to maintain focus with all the wild energy flying around this year. I bet the Preakness will be an exciting race on Saturday! Horse energy rules.

The Sun entered Gemini today at 7:36am Pacific. Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury, which is currently motionless in the skies above us; preparing to turn Direct on Sunday the 22nd at 6:20am. Stay away from…

The Sun has just entered Gemini and, in my continuing efforts to give you some information on each sign, I find the duality of this sign particularly interesting.

If you’ve been reading each of the articles I’ve written on the 11 preceding signs, you’ve noticed that some of them have myths behind them while others have little or no mythological significance attached to them. Gemini is one of those signs. In Egypt, it was known as “The Two Stars”. It took its name from the stars Castor and Pollux, the brightest stars in the constellation; also known as Hercules and Apollo, and Triptolemus and iasion.

As with all the signs, there are positive and negative traits portrayed by the energies of Gemini. From the positive perspective, Gemini energies and people can be adaptable, versatile, intellectual – with a flair for languages and writing, logical, witty, spontaneous, talkative; always youthful and…

Mercury retrograde in Taurus from 29 April – 23 May 2016

Mars retrograde in Sagittarius from 18 April – 30 June 2016

Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius from 25 March – 13 August 2016

Pluto retrograde in Capricorn from 18 April – 27 September 2016

Jupiter in Virgo has gone direct as of a few days ago, but also gave us a retrograde influence amongst the above planets from 8 January – 10 May 2016

We have four planets all in retrograde motion, and we recently had five planets in retrograde! That is seriously a lot of planets in retrograde happening all at once! So, what is retrograde and what does it mean for you?

When a planet goes ‘retrograde’, it first appears stationary and then moves backwards in motion, decreasing in degrees over time. Planetary retrogrades take the normal energy associated with that planet and turn it inwards. It is…

Geminis make good proof readers, accountants, clerks, bookkeepers, office workers… It’s as if the computer was invented just for you!   So, write that code and keep those records – others depend on you.

You have your place in history – Versaille France was ruled by the two faced god Janus… the message for you is ‘don’t forget to look at both side of the story’.  Get out and enjoy the weekends, tear yourself away from that computer and remember that a conversation requires some listening time too.

It is interesting that transiting Venus with Mercury close behind has the Part of Fortune following, showing that this birthday month for the well aspected Gemini, could mean success in love.  It will be cerebral and you will like it… and they might be wealthy, or at least sufficient.  So, make a date, get out of the office or from behind that screen and…

Moon is in the depths of intense, take no prisoners Scorpio, headed for a meet-up with warrior Mars (retrograde) in fiery, truth seeking Sagittarius and an opposition to the sun in information junkie Gemini at the Full Moon on Saturday the 21st at 2:14PM PDT.

Have you had an emotionally intense week? If the answer is yes, then you may already be feeling the intensity of what is possible at this month’s full moon. Moon and Mars will be within one degree of one another and will form connections to wounded healer Chiron and the South Node in Pisces. Healing is possible, but for many, stuff is going to be stirred up. When Mars gets into the mix, he asks us to take action, and when Moon is involved, you can bet you are going to FEEL something, and that something is likely to be close to home, feel personal…

May 21 full moon, powerful in the first degree of the signs will bring new thoughts, ideas, and plans to a culmination of some kind, because it takes place in communication and movement oriented signs. All full moons have relationship energy because the Lights are in opposition, this time Sun in Gemini and Moon in Sagittarius. Venus and Mars are also part of this, opposite each other and very close to the full moon degree and adding to the relationship flavor. The full moon will bring much heat, conversation and action – find out below what area of life according to your Sun, Moon, stellium, or Ascendant sign.

ARIES – Speed is one of Aries trademarks, you like to start and act quickly. This full moon in your area of travel may make you feel you need to shake the dust off your shoes once more, and take it to…

The nature of a full moon is such that we have a stand-off of masculine energy (Sun) with feminine energy (Moon) as these two directly oppose each other. The signs in which the Moon and the Sun confront each other determine the aspects of our lives and society to be influenced, and the full moon aspect compared to the natal chart determines the degree of impact on us.

This full moon could take folks by surprise. Often, people feel the lunar energy as the full moon builds, but this full moon has the Sun at 1 degree Gemini opposite the Moon at 1 degree Sagittarius, so you may only feel the energy as the Moon transits from Scorpio to Sagittarius a couple of hours before the precise aspect.
