BitchScopes Week of May 18th 

Last week 3 planets stationed retrograde, joining the already retrograde Pluto. In June, Mercury and Neptune retrograde, so it’s just a retro party summer! Bell bottoms and frosted eye shadow anyone? Ok that’s not necessary. But we will be in review, re-evaluate and re-adjust mode for many weeks to come. Maybe that’s why summers are vacation time…because we are not quite full speed ahead in life matters. And that’s good.  Even though life feels like it is on pause due to the pandemic, things are slowly unfurling from hibernation.

This week the Sun enters Gemini, which, to me is the epitome of the summer vibe. But life these days is so strange and socializing is not what it was even a few months ago. Some of life is “re-opening”, but I suspect even that will be re-examined this summer. Regardless, it is so important, especially in this season, to connect with the people we love. If you can see them in person, great. If you can’t, make an effort to schedule a zoom happy hour or group face time chat.

Love, and the expression of love is important this week, and so is play and art and the child like energy that embodies summer for most of us. This is not likely to be the most productive work week. Your time and energy are better spent connecting with your heart and issues ruled by Venus. Enjoy it.

May 20 Sun enters Gemini – overall we will be more curious, mentally engaged, inclined toward logic, as well as more sociable, friendly, and talkative

May 20 Venus square Neptune – insecurities about appearance may surface

May 22 Mercury conjunct Venus – expression of love is emphasized

May 22 New Moon in Gemini 10:39 am pst – new friends, interests, ways of communicating. Especially since the North Node just moved into Gemini earlier in May. There is a fresh wave of information and Gemini energy headed for all of us

May 22 Sun trine Saturn – achievement and recognition

May 22 Mercury square Neptune – muddled communications, especially in business.
