Astrology is fluid, constantly changing as the planets revolve around the Sun. Aspects form and fade, life follows along in the tidal waves of interplanetary energy. Some people focus on PEOPLE, I focus an the mundane... the aspects and how they affect us as a whole. That being said I will post here with comments on the quality of time at the moment, with no emphasis on predictions.
Today is May 11, 2021 and it is the New Moon. The moon is traveling through the sign of Taurus, so we have a Taurean New Moon. What does this mean for us all? The dark of the moon is the time to plant seeds, start new projects, adopt new ways of thought and practice new ways of living. The Taurus new moon is in sextile to the planet Neptune. Astrograph says this about that: - Astrograph.com The quality of the time today is kind of dreamy, which we need to enjoy for now. Coming soon, at the end of this month, Mercury will retrograde and a round of eclipses will begin again. The Full Moon of May 26th is a Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius, followed by a Solar Eclipse New Moon in Gemini on June 10th. In the mundane world this translated into a thoughtful conversation with several site members offering kind suggestions as to how to improve and grow this site into the future.
I don't know about everyone else but the mental fog was very thick yesterday. I hope the mind clears a bit today...
Things should be livelier today as the moon has left Taurus and entered Gemini which is a chatty sign with lots of communications going on. Tomorrow Jupiter leaves the sign of Aquarius and enters Pisces, a more compassionate and caring sign of the Zodiac. Has anyone any observations of how people are acting under these influences? I see it all around me every day... but then again I see energy waves from fields of green or forests. Energy flows everywhere if you could only see it!
now that's interesting because i'm my own twin and i saw the moon last night all big and round and full and i felt really cool seeing that. not everything that happened yesterday was fortunate for everyone however.
I wish everything was good for everyone everyday, but reality is insufferable at times... yet deserves a chance.
Astrology for June 2021 Mercury is retrograde and will be affecting us all month with missed connections (as @Candy Gal knows) and mechanical breakdowns are possible. The force may be in disturbance a bit this month @Totally Yoda ! One of the big aspects of the year is the exact square of Saturn with the planet Uranus this month. You can see it all around us with the unusual split between very polarized sides of society. Politically, economically and socially with religious fervor driving it ever onwards, here and throughout the world. The retrograde period will be finally over after the first week in July, which will help. Meanwhile I am sticking to my routine of mostly quarantining with local excursions only to the market, taco stands, and only for necessities.
More information about this month of June, 2021: From Astro.com " THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME Thanks to Jupiter's entry into the peaceful sign of Pisces in the middle of the month, the quality of time in the month of May brings welcome new impulses. Before that, however, there will be renewed vigorous struggle over which path to take. With the conjunctions of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn in January 2020 and of Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius in December 2020, epochal changes have begun in the collective fabric that will keep us occupied for a long time and need concrete answers. To change nothing will not be an option in the long run. An adequate expression of Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius would be, for example, to try out changes individually and playfully and to take small steps towards decentralized solutions. However, currently, we are still trying to solve problems in a centralistic and authoritarian way - with moderate success. On May 2, Mercury, in the last degrees of Taurus, forms a trine to Pluto, and then a square with Jupiter on May 3. The Sun, still colored by its conjunction with revolutionary Uranus in late April, now squares Saturn and the Moon in Aquarius. The cracks and rifts that have formed everywhere in recent months may have turned into deep fissures by now. Stubborn insistence on fixed ideas and rigid world views now leads to unpleasant arguments. However, the tense mood relaxes more and more in the following days: Mercury enters communicative Gemini on May 4, Venus forms a trine to Pluto on May 6, a square with Jupiter on the 8th, and also enters Gemini on May 9. Dialogue could thus become more constructive again. Dialogue is also a major theme during the Taurus New Moon of May 11, which is in conjunction with Lilith. Mercury is exactly conjunct the Moon's North Node and trine Saturn (on May 12). Mars in Cancer and Chiron in Aries form a square. Who will now have to be the scapegoat and bear the burden of everyone's failings? The time could be used positively to express one's own needs openly and directly, thus allowing relief for oneself and others. On May 14, Jupiter enters Pisces. He will only make it a few degrees into the sign for now, returning to Aquarius from July 28 until the end of the year. However, the quality of time will undergo a significant change. Mystically inclined Jupiter in Pisces seeks the origin and wholeness of life. There will be an increased emphasis on connection rather than separation, and spiritual and altruistic themes will gain in importance. The constellations of the following days support this tendency: The Sun, which enters Gemini on May 20, forms a square to Jupiter on the first degree of Pisces on May 21. At the same time, the Moon is in opposition to Neptune in Pisces and squares Mercury in Gemini. The motto of our time - keep your distance - could receive a paradoxical component by the realization that we are all connected in many ways, whether we like it or not. Saturn begins its retrograde phase on May 23, which will last until October 11. What began to take shape in mid-February will be reviewed and consolidated during this time. On May 26, there is a Full Moon in Sagittarius, joined by a lunar eclipse (for a personal interpretation of the eclipse, see the Eclipse Horoscope). Mercury and Venus square Neptune (on the 25th and 27th). These are days that can bring visions as well as foster illusions. Give yourself time for matters to settle. With Mercury retrograde from May 30 to June 23, it may even be appropriate to postpone important decisions."
Astrology though accurate in many aspects seems like it's missing something. The same signs are in literature and art through nearly all ages including Biblical. the sciences of it, though not fitting with our current world model still represent a much storied past we ignore just because it's current connection with miss Cleo.
