Mercury/Cancer retrograde - Astrology in Brief

As Mercury slows to retrograde in Cancer by the 29th and moves with Jupiter, the right things need to have been said or outlined to the right people. The Sun/Cancer lending motivation from the rear; ways are clearer for stronger emphasis, even some pressure, where defined or well deserved assistance is lacking. Venus mid-way into Leo now calls for centre stage attention, personal and collective, and is not standing back. While Moon/Scorpio trines Mercury & Jupiter by late Friday 26th and may eliminate the bug-bears and the snags before anyone notices. Full Moon in Capricorn on the 29th/30th tends to cement what is already in place. 

Welcoming the Summer Solstice … 21st June.

The Sun enters Cancer and squares Neptune/Aries by Thursday : excellent for enlarging the substance of ideas and expansion beyond current limits. Moon in Virgo until Monday squares both Mercury and Jupiter, progressing in Cancer, and aids towards productive and clearer fruition. But developmental movement prior to next weekend and Mercury’s retrograde motion in Cancer on the 29th is favourable.

ASTROLOGY SOUND-BITE

Venus enters Leo today (13th) and opposes Pluto/Aquarius by Thursday. The Moon moves into Gemini and over Uranus this weekend.  The discovery of sudden access routes or unique methods of entry. Only the real desires with substance can maintain, and require an anchorage point. A difficult balance amid turbulence. And a big difference between craving adoration and gaining attention. The New Moon in Gemini on Monday sees versatility in previously static situations, but be prepared to reveal more personal details.

Full Moon in Sagittarius & Gemini Influence

Full Moon in Sagittarius today (31st) in easy aspect to Pluto/Aquarius and opposing Sun Gemini: care is needed in not creating too many threads or tangents on heavier issues or responsibilities requiring time or patience. Otherwise struggles can ensue to maintain pace and balance which peak in July and early August. These can become led weights or swinging pendulums in repetitive cycles. Hard to break until early 2027.

Many may feel they have strayed miles out of their way from base or destination as Uranus/Gemini continues to stretch boundaries of mind and movement, temporarily encouraged by Sun and Mercury… when in fact they might just have turned unexpected corners in known and familiar territory.

Uranus grips in Gemini (May 14th) This planetary influence loves to fly unique ideas and launch ideals.  propagating the ethers with incredible probabilities and amazing phenomena. The illusionist and the master of hyperbole. The escape artist and the bringer of the unbelievable and the fantastic. The instigator of that which has never before been seen.

FULL MOON IN SCORPIO ... undercurrent, flattery & distant connection

Full Moon in Scorpio today (1st) is a flower Moon, opposing Sun in Taurus which argues with both Venus/Gemini and Saturn/Aries : some serious undertones disguised as compliments or benefits, while the deeper connotations of a lot of issues are not being heard or recognised. Dividing the consensus of opinion until Monday when Mercury grips Taurus and refuses to let go of demands for explanation or basic facts. Until next weekend’s Moon/Aquarius brings some unique proposals or strange suggestions from unexpected or unknown sources over three days.
