Your Month Ahead Podcast: May 21-June 21
This month’s podcast was recorded while Mars was still in Gemini, hence the rather breathless pace! There’s lots to talk about and ponder. Questions such as, “What do these tennis players have in common?” and “What’s the incredibly loud sound in the background?” are both asked and answered. Tune in to hear about your month ahead and more about the sign of the Twins. Since this was recorded in the beauteous surroundings of the Chelsea Physic Garden, here are some pictures I took on the day for you to enjoy while you listen.

Creating The Way Through The Heart | Starcana Cosmic Dirt
Good day friend! Sun (ego, identity) and Mercury (thoughts, communications, short journeys) will both bid farewell from grounded Taurus on Tuesday May 21, to enter curious Gemini. Rather than feel stuck or remain immobile, we’ll take a deep breath; trying a different way that will lead us toward a better change with Sun/Mercury in Gemini. And […]
May 14th, 2019: Keep it Light and Watch it Grow

Waxing Trine between the Virgo Moon and Taurus Sun (23 deg)
Venus in Aries sextile Mars in Gemini (28 deg)
Today should be a basically harmonious day. The Waxing Trine helps you integrate improvements into what’s already been established. Just because it’s steady doesn’t mean it can’t stand a bit of refining. This energy enables the application of a few tweaks to what’s already working, so it can work even better.
Taurus is ruled by Venus and Venus’ sextile to Mars supports what’s happening with a gentle resonance between actions and what you want. Make a choice (Gemini) but do it lightly- assert your information/facts (lightly) and watch it as it manifests what you want (Venus). Venus/Mars is light, quick energy so you’re not insisting on anything. One little push is all it takes. But the Waxing Trine in the Earth signs says this can result in something real.
The Venus/Mars connection can be flirtatious and a bit cheeky – Mars in Gemini is assertive teasing or verbal challenges, and Venus in Aries likes this (it’s hot). But what starts off as a spark can solidify into something more, via the Waxing Trine.

Immovable Opinions
Good day! In our attempt to rebuild what holds value for us, Mercury will exit from spontaneous Aries on Monday afternoon May 6, to enter stubborn Taurus. In the next three weeks, our focus moves from unstoppable to immovable with Mercury in Taurus – which can stall or slow down thoughts, communications and short travels. […]
May 5th, 2019: Mars in Gemini Opposite Jupiter

Mars in Gemini opposite Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (23 deg)
Actions (Mars) are at odds with expansion (Jupiter) but in this case it can lead to exaggerated efforts, big efforts or a massive leap of faith. Jupiter pumps up Mars’ actions in any aspect, but the opposition amplifies the speed and enthusiasm due to the tension (you’re trying to act on beliefs that are out of reach). Any combo of Mars/Jupiter can be “lucky” but it can also be careless. There’s a fine line.
A conclusion or result can hit quickly, and since Jupiter is retrograde this may be your second shot at something. This can be your breakthrough moment as you finally decide to do it. You could be pushing that choice (Gemini) forward, no matter what.
There is great potential for achievement, but there’s also a lack of satisfaction since Jupiter encourages Mars to pursue more/bigger. So you have to be careful that what you’re pushing doesn’t become so overwhelming that you lose control. Since we’re dealing with the Gemini/Sag axis, information, opinions and beliefs may be the fuel that drives you, as you act on what you’ve learned.
Look before you leap, and carefully consider the choice you’re about to make.
Since this is a conclusion, we look back to the last Jupiter/Mars conjunction to see when the seeds were planted. On Jan 6th, 2018 Mars conjoined Jupiter at 17 deg Scorpio; that was your start (on a deep, possibly secret level) to what’s happening now.

May 1st, 2019: Venus and Mars

Venus in Aries conjunct Vesta (12 deg)
Venus in Aries opposite Pallas Rx in Libra (13 deg)
Mars in Gemini inconjunct Saturn Rx/South Node in Capricorn (20 deg)
Venus
Venus/Vesta focuses on a key issue of aesthetics, relationships, money or values. The courage to try something new or stand up for what you want/love becomes a sacred matter. Vesta’s exclusive focus and Aries’ subjective energy means this issue should be primarily about you (even if someone else is involved). Are you attracting what reflects your courage? How does it feel to put yourself first?
This is about the independence to be or express what you want. Vesta’s purity is based on virginity (vestal virgins tended the sacred flame in Vesta’s temple) but the meaning of “virginity” was sexuality that did not belong to others. It was feminine energy that was self-contained and belonged to that woman alone.
As Venus opposes Pallas (in Venus-ruled Libra) this “me first” energy will challenge a relationship strategy. That’s ok, because there’s an imbalance that needs to be corrected. Something new is being introduced into the dynamics – something more assertive and selfish (selfish does not have to be a bad thing).
Mars
Mars’ flexible choices and fast-moving impulses are at odds with the Saturn/South Node ending. You may experience a block (from the past?) as you attempt to make something happen. You may feel pressured to choose a way to say goodbye.
With the inconjunct, you need to adjust both sides. Focus is needed, as is attention to the ending or responsibility. But don’t let this shut you down – keep moving and maintain your sense of curiosity and motivation. Some choices will be restricted, but you still have work to do.
