Here is what to expect for the week ahead and an AuraArt print to illustrate the energies above and within us. Enjoy!
AuraArt for the week of May 31, 2022! You can get one of these for yourself or someone you love HERE! (they make great gifts, and graduation and wedding season is just around the corner!)
This week will feel like the last test before school is out for summer. A reprieve is on the way, but we must not throw in the towel yet. There may be a few more final pushes that require all of our stamina and strategy, but we can celebrate after. The Moon gains momentum after Monday’s New Moon in Gemini this week, but we aren’t fully in the clear. We’re still under the uncertain haze of Mercury retrograde, but not for too long! Mercury stations direct on Friday.
Although it might be easy to assume things will magically become better on Friday when Mercury retrograde ends, this is the stationing. The day that Mercury retrograde ends is actually the day it makes a pivot. Think about a hike or a walk you’ve taken that requires you to exit the same way you entered. The point that you decide to turn around isn’t the actual moment you start moving in the new direction. Give yourself a few days to find your balance before running too far ahead.
On the second day of the Gemini New Moon, Tuesday, things will be less concrete and logical, but the connection to spirit much stronger. Mystical activities that make you feel united with the universe are encouraged. New Moons are the start, meaning you don't have to get to the bottom of some big puzzle right away. Grant yourself the beauty of time to let things come to light, most likely within the next two weeks. It’s a good idea to set intentions Wednesday morning and throughout the day rather than later on Tuesday evening when the Moon is void.
The Moon is still in its new phase Wednesday, even though it moves into Cancer. You’re likely to feel quite a push forward as the Moon meets Jupiter in its wild, cardinal cousin, Aries. There is plenty of friction to spice things up today, but the Cancer-Taurus connection with their domicile planets is oh-so-dreamy. Slather it up!
Thursday’s Cancer Moon meets crazy Uranus encouraging you to feel into your decisions and be radical with your thoughts, words, and actions. Not everything needs to make sense if it feels right. Tap into the absolutely cosmic connection between your intuition and your body and be wowed by the magic with which you’re equipped.
Mercury is stationing direct today, yes, but this isn’t your permission slip to buy a new car or sign a lease just yet. Give yourself a breath between East and West to figure out which way you’re going before hitting the gas pedal. Most things will feel like a bust until the later afternoon once the Moon settles into Leo, we’re talking around 2:30 EST. It should be a fun, lively Friday night with the fiery collab between the Leo Moon and Jupiter in Aries.
Saturday is for Saturn. Literally. And today will be an extra Saturnian Saturday as Saturn moves retrograde. However, outer planet retrogrades aren’t super significant except for the days they station one way or the other. This period will last for 5 months, but you don’t have to worry about the standard retrograde blues for the entire time. However, this period, especially the stationing dates, can teach you a lot about the definition of success and your own limitations. Maybe it’s an invitation to set some boundaries.
A Leo Sunday is built for Funday. Do things early in the day and plan to head to a market, sports game, or other social outings before 7:00 pm EST when things can become tense and scattered. Keep Sunday dinners early so that you don’t snap at a family member who always grinds your nerves.
Monday offers a jump forward as the Moon enters Virgo. This is your week! Things are moving forward and you’ll have the tools you need to see the past month with clarity. Move ahead with a strategic plan that would make the most Virgo person scream in ecstasy.
As we’re working through the final days of Mercury retrograde, I am still offering some to help you find your way! Get yours while they’re here because their time is limited.
