Mercury makes its station to turn direct today, May 30, 2009.
This means it stops appearing to move backward in the sky and appears to pause to change to a forward movement once again. Of course all of this is an optical illusion as seen from Earth because we are also in motion. The sensation of the backward or forward motion is enough.
Now it will be easier to let “reflecting” take a back seat. It will be easier to get back into our heads; thinking, learning, writing, communicating, sending emails to the right person, driving, making deals, making decisions and all at a quicker pace. (chop, chop)
So recess is over boys and girls, let’s put on those “thinking caps”.
We have a New Moon coming up this Sunday, May 24th. It will be at 3 degrees Gemini which is a very gregarious energy, social and fun. But remember, there’s a twin, and when this twin gets afraid of the chaos, he comes to the rescue by trying to control. The problem is….. nobody wants to be controlled. (eek)
Look to your natal chart to see where 3 degrees Gemini lands for your personal significance. The house will give you an idea of what area of your life will be involved. Then check to see if you have any planets, luminaries or angles at this position. Our Gemini New Moon will square the 3 degree Pisces and Virgo points. It will oppose the 3 degree Sagittarius point. And it will trine Aquarius and Libra at 3 degrees. If you have something occupying the 3 degree Gemini point, then you’ve got a conjunction. (gazoonhite)
For info more specific to how this New Moon interacts with your chart, leave me a note in the comment box below. Or if you already know how it effects you, please share.
And remember, aligning with this energy of new beginnings is great for manifesting. Write down your wish list, your list of intentions and then tuck it away.
We are creative people. We can consider the possibilities and collapse that quantum wave!
Saturn makes its station May 16, 2009 shifting from the appearance of retrograde to a direct course once again. Saturn represents the physical, the body, the earth, house, money, tangible things. It also represents the attributes of dependability, goal-orientation, loyalty, responsibility and orderliness.

Feeling the energy of Saturn direct, its a great time to manifest that thing we need: job, friend, pet, car, strong body, apartment, house, garden, etc.
Its the time for what’s been growing within as concept, plan or goal to take form, materialize, especially after Mercury adds its forward movement energy on May 30th.
We live in a constant state of potential. The possibilities are endless. And we are infinite beings able to shift our consciousness toward abundance, inspiration and appreciation.
Starting with appreciation, interject it into your thoughts continuously, feel it from your heart center, let it reside in your solar plexus. We manifest from what we carry in the solar plexus area. What are you carrying in the pit of your stomach? Is it fear? worry? guilt? old traumas? Those patterns can be released, we’ve all collected them over the years, but they can be evicted. Appreciation can produce a chemical reaction, changing the patterns we hold in our heart center and solar plexus, giving us much better material from which to manifest. Quality in, quality out.
Coming from this higher level of consciousness, its easier to be inspired. Inspiration is directly connected to creativity, imagination, peace, majesty, beauty, harmony, joy. The more we go about our daily routine feeling inspired by these higher vibrations and the more we do what we feel inspired to do, the more abundantly we are able to imagine and create.
Warning: Shifting your consciousness can be powerful.
On May 6, 2009, Mercury doesn’t even get to make itself at home in Gemini, the sign it rules, when it turns retrograde at 1 degree. It will backtrack its way to 22 degrees Taurus where it will make its station and go direct again May 30th. If either of these degrees coincide with degrees or angles in your chart it will have more of an effect, or if Mercury/Gemini has a strong presence in your chart. If your natal Mercury is retrograde just watch out for everybody else who’s dealing with it.

For me, Mercury turning retrograde at 1 degree Gemini triggers my Cardinal Cross. Well, just shoot me now!
….no, I jest…… I know there’s a silver lining in here somewhere and by George, I’m gonna find it! …Hey, George, would you hand me that jack hammer?
