Thank you for your support and for spreading the work around. We really appreciate it and you.

Aries & Aries Rising

With the speed of a thousand hummingbirds, Mercury’s entrance into Gemini makes your days zip along. Discontent to wander the same old streets, you need some variety. Changing up your routes delivers fresh perspectives; rethinking how to be a good neighbor, friend, or sibling engenders more connection; using a different tarot deck brings home the message.

Stay open to receiving insights from the most unlikely places — treat your surroundings like your classroom, oracle, and guide.

Mid to late week, gifts come to you in the form of compliments, connections, and possibly coin. As Venus finishes up its journey through the verdant gardens of Taurus, it wants to give you a raise. Practice the powerful art of reciprocity.

If you’ve put in the work, allow the benefits to flourish as they see fit. 

After Venus fertilizes the garden beds of your material life, it ventures into the same domain as Mercury, encouraging you to focus on the exchanges that bring you a diversity of delights each and every day. Let the friendliness of the moment lead the way.

Taurus & Taurus Rising

One of the hotspots of 2021’s astrology takes place in Gemini, where there will be a Mercury retrograde and an eclipse, both of which impact an area of your chart that speaks to your money, assets, and resources. This week, as Mercury, and then Venus, enter the well-ventilated space of this air sign’s arena, they make opening statements about the next chapter in your material journey. 

Listen in. 

As offers for work flutter about, they may clue you into the diversity of your talents and the range of your wares. Variety is your goldmine. Make sure to also take note of the gifts you possess that you’ve neglected, exhausted, or refused. 

As an exercise in getting ahead on the growth opportunities that are sure to offer themselves over the next couple of months, write in response to any of the following prompts that resonate with you: 

Make a budget that includes every single necessity and luxury you need to feel taken care of; 

Make a list of all your income streams, and note which ones feel like they’re good exchanges, and which do not; 

Write down all the different ways you’d like resources to flow into your life; 

Consider all the ways in which language, teaching, writing, salesmanship, or divination support you materially;

Journal about possible courses of study that would encourage your talents to support you in a sustainable way. 

These lists are non-exhaustive (please include any images, color coding, or playlists that help articulate your ideas and refine your point). Edit or add to them as much as you need over the course of May, June, and July. 

Date your entries, and track your evolution. You’ll be surprised at how this area of your life gets clarified between now and then.

Gemini & Gemini Rising

This week’s astrology gives you a boost. With Mercury back in Gemini, your curiosity steps to the fore. With no end to the questions you want to ask, the intel you want to gather, and the insights you want to explore, your talent for dispersing data, making intros, and being the Mayor of Mayortown is regaining its strength. 

Since the last couple weeks have seen you a little more introspective, this one might feel like an about-face. No stranger to embodying paradoxes, however, you know something about changing the play mid-game. This skill will come in handy as the next few weeks, and months, roll out. 

While this week is relatively effervescent, Mercury and then Venus’s entrance into Gemini pulls focus to what is going to take centerstage soon enough.

You. 

With a Mercury retrograde, and a solar eclipse both occurring in Gemini, late May to mid-June is a poignant part of your year. Personal changes, life reviews, and reorientations will dominate the near-future, but for now your job is to be as honest with yourself as possible. 

Clear out the clutter.

The less debris you keep around, the less baggage you’ll have to pack with you on your upcoming trek through the shadowlands, which will involve some necessary backtracking. 

Mercury’s retrograde always helps us understand what we can do without. Come to it rested and ready, and you're sure to discover many treasures hidden underneath the veneers you wear daily.

Cancer & Cancer Rising

More than a moment of introspection, this week’s astrology sets you up for a mini-season. It’s not that there isn’t a whirlwind of events to partake in, manage, and maintain (Mars is in Cancer after all), but with Mercury and then Venus entering Gemini, you begin to investigate the subtext.

The conversations that take precedence for you are ones that help you explore topics that are far from the surface and superficial. Not one for chit-chat right now, you need to explore ideas that help you hold space for the sources of your aches and your ability to tend to them. 

What glimmers at the edges of your conscious awareness captivates. 

Drawn to written work and the teachings of those that have done battle with their own dragons and demons, you need stories of recovery, redemption, and awakening more than ever. Not only are they inspiring to take in, they also force you to question the ways you tell your own version of events. 

When are you the heroine, villain, victim, or bystander in your myth? Are there any roles that need reversing in the folklore of you? Are there plotlines that you’ve yet to live into that could be just the role reversal you are looking for? Where are the wellsprings of joy, no matter the difficulties, that you can return to? 

As a ritual, at any time over the next week, write in response to any of the above prompts that call you. See what tales come tumbling out.

Leo & Leo Rising

This week, Mercury moves into Gemini, stirring your curiosity about what everyone else is up to, and who is ready, willing, and able to build with you. 

Group projects, game nights, and invites to the rally flood your inbox. Those that hold complementary visions for the future are magnetized to you with greater ease now. Exchanges with friends open you up to a seemingly endless array of delights.

Let this breath of fresh air fill your sails. This moment reminds you just how necessary it is to connect with the people that get you. Friends hold pieces of us, moments of our past, particles of future hopes, and when we go too long without seeing them, we forget some aspect of who we are and why we are here.

Hang out with the people that bring you back to your truth, no matter how far you’ve strayed.

Before Venus joins Mercury in Gemini, it provides the exact kind of nourishment your career, public roles, or vocation need. Pay close attention to what comes your way in these areas of life from Wednesday to Saturday. Something you’ve been working on, struggling through, or reinventing finds its groove. 

Get into it.

Virgo & Virgo Rising

As Mercury moves into Gemini, you enter a 10-week period of PR the likes of which you’ve not seen in some time. Though last June made its mark on your career, vocation, and public life, this May and June puts the icing on that cake. 

Important announcements, which may include a recalibration of your public image and quite possibly a top-to-bottom rebranding, would be par for this course. With an upcoming Mercury retrograde, and an eclipse all occurring in Gemini, these next couple of months become a portal of your public reconstruction. 

In preparation, scour the details of your vision statements. Play with the words you’ve used to describe what you do, give, or offer to the world. Imagine what it would feel like to take off the roles you’ve embraced, and see if you feel free or forlorn without them.  

It’s time to find out if your titles are roomy enough to give way to your next phase of growth. 

As Venus meets up with Mercury in Gemini over the weekend, a rush of goodwill meets your worldly efforts. For the next week or so, you are more likely to receive love for your labour and sweetness in exchange for your service.

Libra & Libra Rising

As Mercury moves into Gemini, it stirs your wanderlust. With a variety of wide open spaces calling you, the cacophony makes one thing clear — there is more than one direction to head out in. In fact, the more avenues open up to you, the more your curiosity is piqued. 

Try everything once.

Overwhelm may eventually follow, but this week you delight in the buffet of new beginnings and educational escapades. Teachers seem to pop up at just the right moment. An online course gets sent to you that is eerily close to a conversation you just had. You end up in the aisle of the library that serendipitously leads you to the exact source text you need now. 

Follow the breadcrumbs and take copious notes. You’ll be glad you did a couple weeks from now.

With a Mercury retrograde and an eclipse occurring in Gemini over the next month, the maps, itineraries, and routes that you are pondering are sure to lead you towards soon-to-be-revealed treasure troves. 

Just beware the dragons, shadowlands, and reroutes. The end of May and the beginning of June promises a wild ride. Study up while you have the time and space.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

Getting curious about your exchanges is good practice now. As Mercury flutters into Gemini, it wants you to count, tally, and make appropriate flow charts for the resources in your life that are going out and coming in. 

The ideas that bubble up from the cauldrons of your collaborations also come into focus. The more reciprocity there is, the more creativity flows forth. The more you understand the best equations for your partnerships, the more abundance can take place within them. 

Little comes from the wrong roles inhabited by the right people. Everyone deserves to find a place in their life where they flourish, you included. 

As the next couple months roll out, so too will a Mercury retrograde and solar eclipse in Gemini. Both events will purge you of the false notion that you should be able to fit yourself into a shape that is far from your natural curvature. 

The more you embrace what is working and what keeps your books balanced, the better off you’ll be come the more daunting wind storms on the horizon.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising 

As Mercury flutters into your 7th house of relationships, your focus is on the ideas you exchange with significant others — if they don’t bring you the brightest of the bunch, you are bound to move on with great speed.

What you desire in all your committed partnerships, no matter the month, is good conversation. 

Most likely, you’re not lacking proposals right now from people who want to join forces with you. There’s a great deal of curiosity in what you are cooking up, and for good reason. The projects you’ve forged in your own unique fashion are compelling to say the least. 

Be mindful of the bees drawn to your honey, however. This week may bring a swarm of fascinating folks to your sphere, but they will need to have what it takes to withstand the considerable winds of change on the horizon. 

Come late May to mid-June, your journey in partnerships goes through an initiation.

If your arrangements are stretched thin, if they stray too far from the source of your original reason to commingle, you’re more likely to break rather than bend the connection.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

This week wants to help you whistle while you work. As Mercury, and then Venus, swirl through Gemini, your daily grind has less wear and tear on the system. An influx of delights at the office, in your inbox, and even over Zoom meetings light up your exchanges and help the work to flow. 

Health and wellness become a point of interest over the coming days. You might even be drawn to taking up a course of study that helps you understand the mind/body connection in greater detail. Apparatuses, both physical and professional, fascinate. 

Categorize, organize, cleanse, and file to your heart's content. 

With an upcoming Mercury retrograde and solar eclipse in Gemini, practice drills are essential. If there is one thing we can count on come late May and early June, it’s confusion, missed texts, emails, DMs, and communications that go all the way awry. 

Whatever you can do to stay ahead of the trickster’s foul play, the less likely you are to waste your energy feeling paranoid about what might happen. Consider this more of an invitation than a warning to instill the habits that keep you and your systems happy.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

What brings you joy jumps for your attention as Mercury moves into Gemini. ‘Tis the moment to get curious about what pleases you now. 

Over the next 10 weeks, the mischievous messenger will encourage you to study your muses and make friends with your pastimes. Fight the urge to think it’s antiquated to have a hobby. It may well be the healthiest thing you can indulge in at the moment. 

Distractions are sometimes the wedge we need between us and the brink of burnout.

Let yourself wander around bookstores filled to the brim with your favorite stories, art supplies, or occult manuals. Get witchy with your craft circles. 

As Venus meets up with Mercury in Gemini this weekend, good times want to roll. Whatever shifts your mood, or helps you regain a sense of whimsy and awe, needs to be chased. 

Do take note of the creative projects that begin to percolate. With a future Mercury retrograde and eclipse in Gemini, they will most likely become your most important teachers over the next couple of months.

Pisces & Pisces Rising

Home calls you close. The stories of your origins, your relatives, your people’s customs, and your inheritances flutter into your life. With Mercury's unusually long journey through Gemini starting this week, new information helps you piece together the puzzle of the past.

Take special note of the stories you tell yourself about your past, as well as the ones that were handed down to you. How do you generally frame yourself in the context of family roles, and do you like the casting? 

With an upcoming Mercury retrograde and solar eclipse in Gemini, more than likely you’ll be asked to detangle yourself from the setups that don’t see your full humanity, or anyone else’s. 

If you have yet to fully witness your parents, caregivers, and family members as adults unto themselves, separate from their role in your life, these next couple of months will help you do so. If you took away any feelings of being responsible for their happiness, what else would you do with your time, energy, or life?

With Venus also cozying into the sector of your chart that represents home and dwellings, it may be time to splash some accent colors around your abode, welcome a new plant baby into your place, or bedazzle a corner of the room with just the right adornments. Delight in your surroundings and watch the impact on your mood.
