Mon May 21- Sun May 27

After a weekend of Cancer moon, body aches, wasted energy and dreams that seem to be novels the Leo Moon to start the week is a welcome burst of energy. The Sun also moves into Gemini, happy b-day twins, now we have a fresh breeze in the brain. Chat if you must and babble if you can, the reins on communication are loose. But remember if you say things about people that you don't say TO them it's instant karma season. It deprives you of integrity and them of knowing how you really feel. Just because everyone laughs doesn't mean it's funny.

Monday the winds of Leo are with us and we're all cleared to be onstage. To stay in the heart, which Leo rules, is to make it an authentic representation, to portray yourself as if for all time. Which of course is what the present moment is all about. Squeeze it for every drop it's worth. The flipside of Leo is that while there are waves of vibrance and showiness there is also the roller coaster dip into insecurity, this is especially true for Leo natives. When it dips make note of what the 'worry channel' was thinking about in your head, we can adjust this annoying part of us to cease it's persistent obsessive thinking. Usually worrying is praying for things you don't want to happen, when it's just foresight working it doesn't leave tension or depression behind.

The Sun moves into Gemini also today. I send out blessings for a wonderful natal return for those with Sun in the twins. It's a quickening in the zodiac solar clock, a lightening of the posture of the being. The connection between thought/feeling and its communication is fluid and it's a great month to get some art done! Whether you're a poet, painter or accountant it's a transit that you can plough through needed papers and projects easily. Don't worry about editing just get as much in the bucket as you can and clean it up later.

Tuesday we have the Leo Moon, she's waxing and the inertia will be tasty. With the Sun going into Gemini yesterday we have some real freedom in the heart and mind. The nagging channels that have been playing in your head are lessening. All we have to do is experience health, joy, contentment and it's a feeling we can recall at will, every cell listens to each thought. It's an opportunity to just 'practice' living the way you want. Even if nothing changes in the practical you can elevate the energetic and the dialogue within.

Wednesday the Moon slips into Virgo and the mental sphere fires up. Here mid-week we can catch up to languishing projects. Mercury trines Neptune today in air signs Gemini and Aquarius. From today through the week the density of communication is powerful. With Neptune it has to do with our personal reactions to social obsessions. Hard core obsessions like binge drinking, warring violence even ambivalence towards war and climate destruction has become a group obsession. It only takes one person in a group to speak the truth, to identify the huge pink elephant in the room to pull the glaze off the vision of everyone. Horton hears the who or the emperors new clothes are metaphors for these moments. Obsession is just unconscious repetition, it only takes an instant to break the cycle. The trick is to speak it so others can relate. If it's accusatory then it only escalates. It's the first quarter Moon today and the lunar energy picks up, seven days until the full moon.

Thursday we're in the last degrees of the Virgo transit. It's the ability to see the steps that need to be taken to get something done. Personal things like that spare room that looks like a danger closet or group things like planning that benefit that seemed so far off and now looms in front of you. We can see the simple steps that we've been avoiding and once we apply some energy we always feel, "why did I let this go so long that was easy."

Neptune goes retrograde until the fall. It's an almost six month cycle to clean up those obsessions and manic behaviors. It can be simple like stopping smoking or drinking. It's sometimes easier, especially with the cosmos on your side to add positives rather then try and reduce negatives. That is hold tight to your virtues and let the vices hold on for themselves.

Friday the moon slips into Libra, forget the work ethic for a few days and get into the energetic ethic. Libra is a window to diplomacy to seeing all sides of a situation and finding a common path that everyone can walk. All worlds definitely need it, but where we have influence directly is in our personal worlds. Firstly to make peace with ourselves, as our outside word is a reflection of the inner. Sit the 'warring factions' of your mind/heart down and get them to just see each other. The 'you' that is the union of all your opposites can be infused with this presence and directness. We can also use Libra to just enjoy times with our intimate circles, it doesn't have to be premeditated, and the simple action of fully realizing how sweet it is to be alive makes it sweet to be alive. So whether you're under a box or in a mansion give some thanks and practice compassion and that's what you charge your arena with.

Saturday we still have the Lunar Libra action to gives us some direction on consensus building, group awareness of what's needed next, and a general sense of compassion and cooperation. It sometimes seems so at odds with the headlines full of violence and conflict. The fact is that there are mirrors of it in every life. How can we demand peace and a cease to the war on the natural world if we're not willing to have that stance in our simple lives? Often the excuse, 'what can I do' gets used. Straight up this is weak mind/heart dialogue. So under this transit today you can instill a different dialogue that expects from yourself the highest ethics and actions, not for any reason but to feel them being used. No attachment to outcome just to the sense of this posture of living coursing through you. There are lots of benefits to this that are unusual, like an open mind and full heart can lead to a strong immunity system, it's that basic and that wondrous.

Sunday the Moon is still in Libra and Mercury is opposite Pluto. So if you happen to be a head of state today is a great day to begin to talk some talk that would make for a much more peaceful walk. Ahh fat chance the cynics say and they may be right. But the window is open for a change of dialogue and something strange is going to sneak out. With Pluto in Sagittarius it could even get more fierce and combative, yes I know how could it get worse, but it can, much worse. Still we should watch for whose voice on the global stage makes a play for reconciliation and may offer a way out of some seemingly dead end roads.

In our private lives we may have a chance to send out that olive branch to someone we've had some bad energy with. We all have a piece of the peace that could get us whole.
