GEMINI SEASON
Gemini Season
May 20 - June 21
At 6:22 PM PT / 9:22 PM ET on May 20, the Sun enters Gemini. We will feel a temporary lightness in the air when the Sun switches signs. Being that Mercury who is the planetary ruler of Gemini will be retrograde to June 3 and then wandering through the post-retrograde zone until June 18, we can expect to encounter miscommunications for the majority of this transit. Therefore, it’s important to be patient, calm, double check emails and texts before sending them out.
Key Dates:
• The Sun enters Gemini on May 20
• Mercury retrograde re-enters Taurus on May 22, making communication rigid
• Mars enters Aries on May 24, adding energy to our lives
• Venus enters Taurus on May 28, creating romance and passion in our lives
• The Gemini New Moon occurs on May 30, which will ignite an old dream
• Mercury retrograde ends on June 3, kicking off the post-retrograde journey that ends on June 18
• Saturn retrograde begins on June 4 in Aquarius, pushing us to rethink our long term goals and commitments
• Mercury re-enters Gemini on June 13, bringing clarity and conciseness to all communication
• The Full Moon in Sagittarius occurs on June 14, helping us to release the old and bring in new energy
SUPER BLOOD FLOWER TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE IN SCORPIO
Astrology by Lisa Stardust
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A SUPER BLOOD FLOWER TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE IN SCORPIO?
A blood moon and total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth’s shadow and creates a reddish hue on the Moon, which is a reflection of sunlight from the Earth’s atmosphere. A blood moon can only occur when there is a total lunar eclipse. Being that the Moon is in closer proximity to the Earth, it’s called a Supermoon. The effects of the lunation can be felt more by us earthlings due to the fact that the Moon is hanging lower than ever to the Earth.
WHAT DOES IT REPRESENT?
Lunar eclipses are fated endings and changes that occur. Being that this eclipse is tightly aligned with the South Node of Destiny, we are having breakthroughs or breakdowns that are pushing us to let go of the past and step out of our comfort zone.
WHEN DOES SUPER TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE OCCUR?
May 15 at 9:14 PM PT and May 16 at 12:14 AM ET.
HERE'S WHERE THE FLOWER MOON GETS ITS NICKNAME.
It marks the time of the year when the flowers in North America are blooming.
WHAT DOES THE ECLIPSE MEAN, ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING?
This lunation represents the conclusion of the story that began in November 2020. We are moving forward and releasing the past. With Mars and Pluto (who are both the planetary rulers of Scorpio) in orb, as well as Saturn and Neptune. There will be a lot of push and pull between our heart and our ego as we let go of situations or people that we’ve outgrown. Although they’ll always hold a special place in our hearts, we are not on the same level anymore and have to accept that. There is a chance that situations and relationships can change, but only if everyone puts in the effort to grow together.
THE ECLIPSE HAS A MESSAGE FOR EACH ZODIAC SIGN
ARIES: You don’t have to be bossy to get your points across — try tenderness instead.

WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES 5/11-17
The Taurus Sun is super active this week, making it a time in which our egos and desires will need to be in check. The Sun and North Node of Destiny (Neptune comes to the North Node on the 14th) align in Taurus on May 13, followed by the Sun’s fraught aspect with Saturn in Aquarius and gentle connection with Neptune in Pisces on May 15. Later in the day, the total super lunar eclipse in Scorpio occurs at 9:14 PM PT and 12:14 AM ET. All of this solar cosmic action will motivate us to move towards what we love and are passionate about — even if there are roadblocks and setbacks along the way.
Witchtip: With all the solar energy at play, it’s time to embrace your fabulousness. Add sunflowers to your altar and light a gold candle with your intentions under it. This will help you manifest passions and desires that will allow you to shine and glow up.
Aries
Your sense of security may cause anxieties to surface, while issues within private matters are revealed, shifting your perspective and rocking your world. Finding peace and solace within yourself will help you find your footing. Then, you can navigate the perception regarding the clandestine matters you want to keep secret.
Taurus
Do not be afraid to be direct with others this week. Your sweet charm saves you from unnecessary arguments. Remember, life is one big balancing act. And, you are the ringmaster in aligning different personalities due to your innate patience. If trouble occurs along the way, then you stop engaging.
Gemini
The ability to live the freedom-loving life you crave might be put to the test, causing some anxieties to peak and drama to occur with friends. Allow yourself to acknowledge that this is just a moment in time, it too shall pass. You’ll be back to yourself in no time.
Cancer
This is the week unless you can connect with old pals and start anew. The caveat is that you have to let go of past issues that have surrounded your friendships. If you cannot do this, then you’ll be right back to where you started in the beginning without progress occurring.
Leo
The week ahead is giving you an opportunity to add more of what you love to your life and the chance to release things or people that no longer are serving your highest vibe. In order to evolve it’s important to shed the past and create space for future prospects.
Virgo
This is a wonderful opportunity to break free from past restrictions imposed on you by others. As you step into the light, remember, you have a golden opportunity now to change the path of your life. The best advice is to choose your battles wisely and don’t forget to breathe!
Libra
It may be hard to focus your energies this week, due to external factors and distractions. Try to meditate, center, and ground yourself to find peace and serenity within. The more energy you give to yourself, the better you’ll be in taking charge of situations that matter and are important.
Scorpio
Don’t suppress your emotions. If you need to have an outburst — let it happen. Releasing old sentiments will make it easier to feel at peace and calm. These emotions are causing stress and making you brood over things — when you should be detoxing the weight on your heart.
Sagittarius
With the right attitude, there is nothing you can’t succeed in. Your spirit is evolving into something greater than you ever thought. Your innate optimism will add faith and hope for the future. As long as you don’t hide your emotions away from the world, you can attain personal greatness.
Capricorn
An old business connection will become someone who’s an advocate of your hard efforts. No longer will you be passed up for opportunities — the opposite will be true. You’ll get more notice with their endorsement, which may even lead to a better job and with a much higher salary.
Aquarius
The career changes that you’re experiencing will only affect you temporary. A restructuring of responsibilities at the office is crucial now and will benefit you in the long run. Don’t let these shakeups distract you from your endeavors. Being more energetically open to such transformations will make the transition easier.
Pisces
Your spiritual beliefs, trust, and intuition is growing, due to your belief in the world, others, and yourself. The inner goodness that you have recently found and love will add extra pep in your step and swagger in your confidence as a result of the newly found strength within yourself.
Jupiter In Aries
Astrology by Lisa Stardust
Every 11 years, the planet Jupiter makes its way around the zodiac. Today, the lucky and expensive planet Jupiuer is exiting Pisces and moving into Aries. Jupiter in Aries arrives twice this year. Firstly, it’ll occur from May 10 to October 28. Then, from December 20 to May 16, 2023. At this time, we will have a lot of exuberance — which can take a turn for the worse if we don’t hone in our eagerness to make sudden moves and to take action without seeing matters through thoroughly.
What To Expect
Jupiter is known as a benefic planet, which means it brings out the positives in situations. It’s also known to make matters expensive and bigger — this is both good and bad. Arguments can become all encompassing and reach an extreme height, while happiness can also make us overly optimistic about the future. One thing that is certain, is that Aries will lend its “can do” energy and give us the motivation to attain our personal dreams. Nike coined its catchphrase “Just Do It” during a transit of Jupiter in Aries. Therefore, we should expect the fiery energy to lend us the same inspiration in return. Go for the promotion, raise, and relationship that you want. Don’t let anything stand in the way of your happiness. Just don’t let yourself fall into the trap of Aries impulsivity and act before thinking.
If You’re Having A Jupiter Return
A Jupiter return occurs approximately every 12 to 13 years. This is when the sign and degree of your natal Jupiter aligns with the transiting sign and degree of transiting Jupiter. It’s when the lucky planet returns to the place it was when you were born. This is an extremely lucky time in which you may feel extra confident and blessed. The universe has your back and is guiding you towards attaining personal excellence.
The Pink Full Moon in Libra
Astrology by Lisa Stardust
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A FULL MOON?
The Sun and Moon oppose each other in the sky, while the Earth resides in between the two planets. The juxtaposition and position of the planets create a glowing effect on the Moon that makes it look brighter than ever from the Earth’s perspective.
WHAT DOES IT REPRESENT?
The full moon represents the culmination of the 30-day lunar cycle. All of the projects that we’ve been working on for the past month reach an ending or hit a pivotal turning point. Change and growth have happened. Now is the time to reflect and enjoy the fruits of our labors.
WHEN DOES APRIL’S FULL MOON IN LIBRA OCCUR?
The Full Moon occurs on April 16 at 11:55 AM PT and 2:55 PM ET.
HERE'S WHERE THE PINK MOON GETS ITS NICKNAME.
The Pink Full Moon gets its name from the pholus or moss that grows in North America.
WHAT DOES THE FULL MOON IN LIBRA MEAN, ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING?
The Full Moon in Libra squares Pluto and aspects Saturn, which means that resolving and evolving interpersonal relationships, self-love, and romance are at the forefront of our desires. Therefore, we can expect to experience transformation and growth within relationships and personal matters.
If situations or partnerships have been off-balance, this is a time in which implementing structure is necessary — even though it’ll take a lot of work. If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and put the energy into bettering partnerships, mindsets, and ourselves then the Full Moon will be an extremely metamorphic and healing time.
Luckily, the Full Moon falls between the fortunate fixed stars Spica and Arcturus. This energy will add promise and positivity to the somewhat fraught connection of the Plutonian energy. We will want to win at all we do, giving us the power to take on matters that require a lot of effort, work, and determination. The good news is that we’ll prevail stronger than ever.
WHAT RITUALS SHOULD YOU DO DURING THE FULL MOON?
The energy of the lunation can be intense. Mediation is key for relaxation. Close your eyes and breathe in and out. Focus on the light that shines brightly within yourself to decompress. You can do this for as long as you like.
Light a brown candle to add balance and stability to your life. Write your intentions down on a piece of paper and place it under the candle (which should be burning in a bowl of water to call in the spirits).
Burn patchouli or camphor incense to cleanse the home, and spirit, and relieve stress. These scents will help to ground, heal, and awaken our energy. Therefore, it’s ideal for the Full Moon.
THE FULL MOON HAS A MESSAGE FOR EACH ZODIAC SIGN.
Aries: Try to find a common ground and balance in partnerships to make the relationship better.
Taurus: Life is all about give and take. Make sure you’re being reciprocated for your generosity.
Gemini: Instead of being super logical about matters, lean into your intuitive side now.
Cancer: Don’t spend too much time focusing on your career goals that you forget about your personal aspirations.
Leo: Be mindful of the way you speak to ensure that you’re using kind and compassionate words.
Virgo: Embrace emotional security and fulfillment in relationships by expressing your needs.
Libra: Wearing your sentiments on your sleeve will make you more emotionally aware and approachable.
Scorpio: Meditation can open your mind, heart, and spirit towards soulful fulfillment.
Sagittarius: Realign yourself with your modified hopes and aspirations to attain greatness.
Capricorn: Instead of demanding others to change, focus on how you can evolve right now.
Aquarius: Keeping an open mind will allow you to transcend towards a higher vibe.
Pisces: Implementing boundaries will help you define relationships and stand your ground.
NEW MOON IN ARIES
Astrology by Lisa Stardust
The first new moon of the astrological new year occurs on March 31 at 11:24 PM PT and April 1 at 2:24 AM ET in Aries.
This lunation aligns with Mercury and the centaur Chiron — all of whom are in Aries. Therefore, it’s a time of opening up and letting others know about our pain, trauma, and upsets. The only way to mend our hearts and to be free from these emotional hardships is to discuss them in order to let the healing begin.
The new moon is also a time to start implementing matters. We can create the life we want. Our goals aren’t too far out of reach and with the right amount of manifestation can happen. We are the ones in control at the moment and can make our dreams a reality.
*The new moon in Aries occurs on March 31 at 11:24 PM PT and April 1 at 2:24 AM ET.
WHAT TO MANIFEST DURING THE NEW MOON:
This lunation is a great time to make amends with people from the past. Write a letter to a person that has upset you or that you’ve wronged. You don’t have to send it to them, but getting your feelings out on paper will allow you to understand your emotions on a deeper level. Plus, it will put the energy out into the universe that will help you towards forgiving the situation. When you’re done, rip up the paper to have all these sentiments expelled from your life.
Being that the centaur Chiron is in the mix of this luminary, we should manifest global peace. Take a blue candle and light it at the time of the new moon. Think about how you want the world to come together as one and heal.
Light a white candle (Although red is the color of Mars, the new moon occurs on Friday which is Venus’s day. You can always use a red candle if you want.) to open the pathways ahead of you. Carve your name and astrological symbol into the candle. Anoint the candle with a dab of almond or sunflower oil. Then roll it on crushed bay leaves, mint, and cinnamon. Set your intentions and light the candle to bring your dreams to life.
