AstroRain Report May 21-27
Sun just into Gemini has stimulated our curiosity, very much about all that differs from our most familiar realm, diversity of ideas and love of the eclectic in tastes. It’s a time for old and new connections from a wide open attitude. May seem more urgent to share important thoughts and feelings while expanding our own little world. Gemini loves laughter and lighthearted approaches to anything and everything even, and especially, in the midst of horror and despair. We’re made for such times, and how we choreograph our way through them, individually and together, is everything.
Wed 21 Moon-Mars tension early reminds us that bold action backed up with compassion is the best solution for being stuck in fear or depression. Pisces Moon supports going with the momentum of the day rather than trying to make things go our way. Evening lunar aspect with Mercury sensitizes communications. Kind words are needed for ourselves or others, while being willing to not know the answers to most burning questions for now is most helpful. Good evening for singing, chanting, using the voice as an instrument of light and loving kindness.
Thurs 22 Venus trine Mars in fire signs ignites all kinds of passions; for what we need and value most and also desires that may not be for our ultimate good. Sorting that out is easier as Sun-Neptune combine the mental clarity and heart sensitivity to make optimal decisions in what direction to take and what to leave behind that is more energy drain than benefit to our purpose. 9:26 am Moon shifts to motivated Aries joining Neptune and contacting Sun and Pluto in the afternoon. Clarifying priorities opens up greater insights, ideas, and helpful allies if taking the time to see where we are and what and who is around us.
Fri 23 Afternoon Aries Moon aspects with Mars and Venus continue charging the atmosphere with the urge to act from the heart’s desire. Courage to claim what is ours free of apologies or hesitation strongly favored today. As long as it comes from the heart’s massive intelligence it’s bound for glorious outcomes. Always in dedication to the Good of All. One caution may be for any aggressive moves where someone is trying to push their agenda on onto another.
Sat 24 Sun trine Pluto 8:55 am can be a powerful wind blowing through, mentally and/or in the shifting, sometimes erratic, weather patterns afoot. Whatever ideas come in on this wind are bound to be well worth entertaining. However good to beware there are those who would use this energy in attempts to over power others with their opinions and in some cases fanatical ideas. The “news” today will be filled with a whopping helping of the usual manipulations and half truths and outright lies the media has become so well known for. Taking all with a grain of salt is the ongoing best strategy but the Mercury-Uranus conjunction today assures some major releases of truth. That aspect warns us to take care with our own declarations that can be spontaneous but should have been thought out a bit more. Meanwhile really, really big news is Saturn leaving Pisces and entering Aries 8:35 pm. We’re on a whole new trajectory now as Saturn rules society and Aries the sign of birthing, new beginnings. On the cusp, really, of thousands of years of history completed and the next incarnation of being human and how we live within the Mother planet’s embrace.
Between now and mid-February 2026 Saturn and Neptune hover very close to each other announcing aspects of that reality generating in coming years, while supporting only the most boldly forward visioning agendas, plans, structural changes and long term commitments. All based on the highest good universally. Everytihng else is destined to aggressively backfire, burn down or dissolve, melt down, or simply disappear into the mists of Time. That means still a huge mess but accompanied by the insight, inspirations, means and pure hutzpah to bring about new structures and institutions of society. Economic health will no longer be based on the War Machine that’s been in place for the last 5,000 years as the colonizers have been determined to destory all self sustaining cultures while stealing land and resources.
Saturn in Aries demands soveriegnty for all nations, especially the ones that have been colonized into devastation for millennia. The global movements of resistance to control from outside national borders builds over the next 2 1/2 years. The multiple ongoing genocides fueled by out of control Western powers have backlash over this time as the human collective says “No More”.
Small, local moves are the human generated building blocks of this New Earth birthing, while the very cells of our bodies have also been undergoing changes in synch with the earthly-cosmic changes. Again, as we’re made for this time the biggest challenge being to accept and surrender. That’s a tall order! As the new possibilities arrive we need to be free of the resistance of old paradigm limitations. “That’s just the way things are” is breathing its last as a fall back on what we refuse to see changing for the good.
Personally wherever first degree of Aries are in natal chart is the area of vast new possibilities. Obstacles appear where we’re off course in that aspect of life and possibly wrapped up in a fierce drama. No need to entertain that if we get to the work of shifting direction or the plan in place. Neptune offers all encompassing compassion for our worst foibles that Saturn demands to be addressed. Self sovereignty has been an ongoing issue for a few years, now the flashing red light says “time to honor that fully”.
Sun 25 Ta**us Moon may bring out stubbornness in a square to Mars late afternoon, can be a challenge to be more emotionally flexible. Mercury enters Gemini today, the sign it rules, and is amplified greatly by Sun in the mtuable air sign too, and headed for its marriage to the Gemini Moon tomorrow. Mercury’s sextile to Saturn early evening helps with figuring out a good plan with more information available to work with. Meanwhile Dark Moon time before new cycle begins can also mean dark mood, but the immersion in the dark is most beneficial for incubating our dreams.
Mon 26 New Moon at 6 degrees Gemini is joined by ruler Mercury and by wild card Uranus still in late degree of Ta**us, while Jupiter also in Gemini in late degree. Alliances and new connections favored, and again in unexpected places quite likely. Creating intentions for the cycle ahead by 8:02 pm puts us in favorable alignment from the start, and may be regarding where we need allies if not well represented already. Also intentions for finding most relevant information and resources for our purposes strongly supported.
The most dramatic combination in New Moon pattern is the exact to the minute conjunction of Eris and Chrion at 25 Aries. Dramatic, volatile, ready to fight for what has been denied or stolen. For the massive wounds of war, ongoing apartheid, genocide and the intentional starvation of children before our eyes, Eris and Chiron join forces to claim what’s been denied and loudly pronounce outrage. Actions are assured in the defense of such heinous disregard for life.
For each of us the Sun and Moon begin the cycle in the chart House where early degrees of Gemini fall. Good to look that up where possible and use that information while clarifying the most important themes for the month ahead, and also for the year ahead in matters ruled by Gemini.
Tues 27 Mercury trine Pluto mid morning colors most interactions, conversations, messages, commercial transactions and biggest news of the day with a certain intensity and a hefty push for liberating the truth no matter how unsavory.
