Astrology week 19 to 25 May 2015: Sun in Gemini! Tips for Mercury in retrograde from 19 May – 12 Jun 2015. Sun in Gemini opposes Saturn in Sagittarius - establish priorities giving us a little time to do something that really motivates us. Weekend May 23 to 24, 2015 - Moon in Leo harmonises with the Sun and Saturn helping us to organise our list of things to do. Venus opposes Pluto intensifying our feelings… we need to remember that love should be the motor of our actions and our words; Keep in mind that if we offend others we will collect offenses against us and if we love others we have more chance to receive love in return!!!

At the end of the afternoon of Thursday May 21, 2015, the Sun changes to the curious sign of Gemini.  Happy Birthday to those who were born between May 21 and June 21. The sign of Gemini is the third sign of the Zodiac, its dynamism is mutable, ie has the ability to adapt to changes and circumstances and is classified within the group of signs in the air element. Air in Astrology is the element that is associated with the concepts of equality, sharing and communication. Abstraction allows it to develop an idea, analyse objectively and impartially.

The sign of The Gemini is represented by the Twins - Castor and Pollux from Greek mythology.

The key word is I THINK - requires a mental process, to develop ideas and think through a thought.

Gemini’s ruling planet is Mercury - the messenger of the gods in Roman mythology. Most of its features and mythology were taken from the god Hermes of Greek mythology, who is considered the father of trade, finance, eloquence and the god of travellers.

Gemini’s Strengths: versatility, adaptability, ingenuity, liveliness, insight, speed of perception, agile, bright and alert intelligence based on deductive reasoning and having flexibility. Gemini symbolises the concreteness of consciousness; it is the universe of the mind that is related to the world of form. Friendly energy that is open to change, likes to share, communicate and exchange information with good sense of humour.

Gemini‘s Weaknesses: distraction to satisfy curiosity. Superficiality that is given by having the interest to know a little of everything but that does not permit going further into details. Impatience, anxiety, ambiguity, inconstancy and restlessness due to the need of being in constant motion, no tolerance of routine and wanting to bite off more than its possible ...

Over the weekend May 23-24 2015, we will be influenced by the happy Moon of Leo which harmonises with the chatty Sun in Gemini inviting us to show the best of ourselves and take care of our personal appearance. However we should avoid loose talk ... The Sun in Gemini is forming an opposition to Saturn - the planet that teaches and demands good performance. Saturn transits through the questioner sign Sagittarius prompting us to ask ourselves how to be better every day! Collectively this opposition between the Sun & Saturn + Mercury in Gemini invites us to reflect, tells us we should be cautious when we communicate and avoid overwhelming ourselves with the information we receive.

Try to find balance between our obligations and activities that motivate us and what we want to do. Be aware of our priorities and devote a little time to what really gives us satisfaction. The Moon in Leo in harmony with both planets (Sun in Gemini and Saturn in Sagittarius) in the morning of Saturday May 23, 2015 gives us confidence to connect with our emotions and clarify our priorities in harmony and may help us to organise our weekend including an activity that gives us happiness. On Sunday May 24, 2015, the Moon joins Jupiter in Leo and both harmonise with the humorous Mercury in Gemini, if we take care not to be extreme we can participate and enjoy a pleasant conversation.

On Friday May 22nd, 2015 Venus the goddess of love and beauty transiting through the affectionate sign of Cancer forms an opposition to transformative Pluto in Capricorn. This energy can create strong feelings, so we must be careful not to manipulate by wanting to get what we want at all costs. Love should be the motor of our actions and our words; remembering that if we offend we will collect offenses and if we love we have more chance to receive love.

Recall that Mercury in Gemini will be under an illusory motion (retrograde) due to the proximity to our planet, from Tuesday May 19 until June 12 2015. How to manage this period with this energy that streamlines our mind stimulating our thoughts collectively?

• Review what we think, do and say.

• Leave earlier for appointments foreseeing the possible delay... The sign of Gemini is associated with transportation.

• Pay attention when talking...and please Listen! Let us ask when we do not understand something; think before we speak to avoid misunderstandings; and if we do not express something as we wanted, then we should take the time to clarify it.

But above all we should take time to read.  It is the perfect time to take that book we have been letting get dusty on our desk and let's read it now!

And…Those born with Mercury under this motion it is a good time to tune into your intuition!!!

Enjoy your weekend!

Note: *Retrograde is an astrological term used to explain the illusory phenomenon, where the planet appears to be in reverse rotation in relation with Earth which is also in movement. Astrology explains the event as an opportunity to review and adjust according to the energy that generates the planet.
