Mercury Retrograde/ New Moon in Taurus
























New Moon in Taurus: Sunday at 9:13pm
Moon into Gemini at 2:27am today (Monday)
Mercury Retrograde at 6:49pm tonight

Sun into Gemini at 1:45am Thursday

What a beautiful weekend with the Sun and Moon in Taurus. The Moon is exalted (strengthened) in Taurus and is conjunct the asteroid Eros (love affairs) making it extra juicy. Hope you were able to get out and enjoy nature. I filled my house with beautiful tea roses in different shades of pink to celebrate the Venusian vibe :) Mercury was stationing all weekend too which can clear the air between people. Something can be started right now that has huge growth potential!

As of this evening we now have Mercury Retrograde in Gemini until June 11th when it turns Direct. Time to reorganize, retry, rethink and redo our plans. Rely on intuition during this time, and thoughtful communication. Don't freak out too much over this - just try not to sign any important contracts or make big purchases.

The dark star "Algol" is also in the mix this week. Check out this info about Algol from the C.I.A. (Cosmic Intelligence Agency):

"Algol/ Medusa depicts everything that Man fears in life – the fury of the suppressed feminine soul; the rage and violence of nature; the fine line between madness and wisdom and life and death; the depth and power of a woman’s sexuality. As Demetra George writes in the ‘Mysteries of the Dark Moon’, “… the extent that we have culturally repressed and feared the powers of this Dark Goddess and have accepted the patriarchal view of her as a monster to be destroyed, we have cut ourselves off from our ability to access our sexual power to create, regenerate, and know the truth from within ourselves. In fact we have been taught to shirk from and reject the kind of menstrual, ecstatic, and non-reproductive sexuality that activates these powers. {Algol/} Medusa carries the patriarchy’s projection of women’s dark sexuality as evil”.
