Signs & Festivals, Eclipses & Retrogrades
The last half of May, under mutable Gemini Sun, is busy – two festivals, two retrogrades, a lunar eclipse and a full moon (Festival of Humanity & of Goodwill, when the Forces of Reconstruction stream into the Earth).
To begin things, the Sun enters Gemini Thursday, May 20. The energies shift from Taurus earth to Gemini air, and everyone begins to talk all of a sudden and all at once.
Sunday, May 23, is Pentecost, a perfect Gemini festival. Pentecost is the Christian Festival (reflecting last week’s Jewish festival of Shavuot/Harvest Festival) of “Fiery Tongues,” or the descent of the Holy Spirit (Ray 3 of Divine Intelligence) into the minds of humanity. The story in the bible describes “a great wind heard as tongues of fire” appeared above the heads of Christ’s disciples and they began to understand all languages, especially the language of the heart.
Saturn retrogrades on Pentecost, at 13.31 degrees Aquarius, Saturn is time, so with Saturn retrograde, our sense of time shifts. Saturn is also, skin, bones, teeth, inner and outer structures. Retrogrades turn things inside out, upside down. We turn inward, assess time, asking the question “What is time?” Everyone’s late during retrogrades. Saturn is structure and discipline. We assess our structures, ask if we are disciplined enough. Saturn is retrograde until Oct. 10th.
May’s full moon (5.26 degrees Gemini/Sagittarius) brings us the Goodwill Festival of Humanity. Occurring Wednesday, May 26th, the full moon is also a lunar eclipse (something in form and matter disappears). This festival sits squarely on the ascendant of the U.S. Gemini rising chart and Uranus (radical, revelatory & revolutionary change ahead). We know by now that our country has and will continue to transform. We will not be returning to “normal.” For the new era of Aquarius is here and Uranus rules Aquarius and the United states has Aquarius moon. We are to be about change, too. The lunar eclipse makes sure that which is no longer needed simply falls to the wayside.
Mercury retrogrades Saturday, May 29th at 25 degrees Gemini. We all know by now what to do. Love, Risa
