Saturn’s goodwill paves the way for favorable consideration from authorities.

But this full moon has deeper significance. As any gardener knows, to spur greater growth, one prunes existing growth. Likewise this full moon presents an opportunity to make room for your future growth by culling what no longer serves you. This might be anything from physical clutter to unnecessary administrata to emotional baggage. This includes such simple acts as deleting recurring charges for services you no longer want or need from your credit card bill.
Airwaves fill with chatter when the Sun enters Gemini for its annual four-week stay on May 20th. Somehow everyone has become busy, busy, busy. If not harnessed, the sign’s energy is scattered and unfocused. Nonetheless, Gemini is supposed to circulate. The sign’s purpose is to help you connect and communicate in order to gather information.
The skies get more intense on May 25th at the new moon at 4 Gemini. Like all new moons, this one jump-starts a new monthly lunar cycle. New moons also act as trigger points for action especially if they touch your chart directly.
At this new moon, tempers are high while you’re called upon to stand up for your sense of right and wrong. Speaking truth to power is an honorable act. Resist the urge to act out of impulse; there are consequences. If done with a cool head, you strike a blow for fairness and validate your sense of self-worth.
