This is the the last week of the Mercury Retrograde! As tough as it may have been for some of you, please take the time to really slow down and reflect this week. Digest the events of the previous week and allow yourself the opportunity to heal and release what you must.
Do not push and push and push, rather remain calm and in reflection. If you need to, focus on one positive area in your life or one positive direction you would like to see yourself flow into and then re-adjust and re-align yourself to that.
I have had to remind myself all last week, as well as today when I am writing this delayed cosmic weather report...that as cliche as it sounds, we really do create our own reality, in one way or another. To make sure that we are focusing in the right direction, we must uncover and confess our intent (to ourselves). It's easier said than done. Intellectually and spiritually, we may know what to do, but when we actually find ourselves caught in the raging river of emotions, it is much harder to act in a way that serves our highest good and remain calm, but that is just what we must do.
Please read Jennye's article Learning to Trust. I have to give her quite a plug. She really knows her stuff. She really knows how to zero in right to the heart of the matter. Thanks Jennye for all of your support this week.
Affirmation for the day:
When I allow myself to live in the present moment, I am instantly able to find my way back to joy and gratitude. Living in the present is the best medicine I have to give myself.

Moon in Cancer
The moon is in its home sign of Cancer today. Issues related to the heart and home and family are at the forefront. Cancer energy is nurturing mother energy ~ it represents our maternal instinct to care for, nurture and protect others. It's all about security and the principal of unconditional love.
The shadow side is s~mothering or smothering. The energy is emotionally charged. In order to have security, some believe that you must control the situation or control your environment. Watch for that today.
Mars in Aries is creating opportunities for the conjunction of Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune holding steady at 26 degrees Aquarius. Anything is possible under this transit. Really focus your intent and dream big and believe! This is a huge time for everyone, especially for Aquarians. Jupiter expands and seeks the truth and faith, Chiron is all about healing and getting in tune with your inner teacher and guide, Neptune is about spirituality and dreams and creativity. This is truly a magical time for all of us. If you can, I encourage you to really do whatever you must to really tune in to your inner voice of wisdom. Block out the distractions and the chatter from the sidelines, as well as the chatter in your own head. Place your ego on the shelf and tune into your heart. Separate from it all and really really tune in. Take inspired action and a leap into faith. Envision yourself in true alignment with your highest good.
Affirmation for the day:
Anything is possible. We all get there eventually. The road may be long and the traveler weary, but we must embrace the journey and hold it sacred. Our presence is required and can see us through anything. We are never alone, but are always connected.

Moon in Cancer/Leo
The Jupiter, Chiron, Neptune conjunction is still the biggest news. Use the Cancer moon to feel the depths of unconditional love that is available for ourselves and for others. As the moon treads into Leo later in the day, get creative with it. Remember that Leo is ruled by the very Sun that gives us life. It is the enter of our solar system and likes to shine. Align yourself with your essence and path. Imagine and create the part yu want to play in the grand scheme of it all.
Affirmation for the day:
Creativity translates into possibility. If I don't like what I see, I am free to create something I do.

Moon in Leo
The moon is in Leo all day. The triple conjunction of the Aquarian theme is holding strong for another day. Use the Leo moon to inspire you. Recall that the shadow side of Leo is seeking attention through dramatic performance. This is not bad in a screenplay or in the motion pictures, but if that drama is played out in your life, it may be time to recognize that the drama is an immature attempt for recognition...the need to take center stage.
See if you can find it in your heart to see through the dramatic smoke screen and make someone feel good by recognizing what is positive in them.
Neptune will station and begin its own retrograde later today. This gives us a chance to break down more illusions and cut through the fog. We get to go back upstream and explore the territory we may have missed on our first run. Neptune can be about illusions and delusions. Try to see them for what they are. Give your attnetion only to those things you want to see manifest in yourself and for the collective. We "get" what we give our attention "to." Create your reality.
Affirmation for the day:
Eventually we get what we ask for if our intention stays strong enough for long enough. Staying in present consciousness allows me to ask for only those things which serve myself and others in the highest good.
Friday, May 29
Moon in Leo
Today is the day that Mercury ends its retrograde movement. It will take a few days to really feel like we're out of it. Sometimes the "wobble effect" of the change in diretions can cause more confusion and start/stop efforts. This is still a good time to reflect.
Have you any self imposed chains? Any kinks in the armor? Or, is it simply time to remove the battle gear? Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy. Are you blocking your own flow? Reflect on this today. Get very honest with yourself and be willing to see how you might be blocking your own success.
Affirmation for the day:
I will allow the cosmic scultptor to slowly chip off the layers of protection that I have surrounded myself in. It is only then that I can be fully exposed and live life to its fullest.
Saturday, May 30
Moon in Leo/Virgo
The cosmic planets in Aquarius are conspiring. They're attached and bound to transform us. Chiron has joined the ranks of Neptune in its retrograde movement in Aquarius bringing in much healing and the chance to heal our old wounds, hurts and regrets. Chiron is about healing. Its presence in the natal chart indicates where our biggest wound lies. We all have them. We are human. We all feel pain and we all have been hurt. Neptune exposes our dreams and give us a pipeline into the realm of imagination and spirituality and oneness. Just trust that the answers will be revealed ~ and they will.
And, Mercury has not only stopped going backward, but is actually direct today. Still in Taurus, it will emerge slowly in true Taurean style. Don't expect huge changes. Just soak in all that has been and all that there will be. Gear yourself up to move forward on all the wonderful things you have been reflecting on.
Affirmation for the day:
I trust that the Universe will provide everything I need for my highest good, even if I cannot see it in every moment and even if I don't agree with the manner of the presentation.
Sunday, May 31
Moon in Virgo
I don't know about you, but I am grateful for the possibility of some semblance of organization and order that this Virgo moon is likely to bring. If you must seek solitude today, then do it. Take time to sort out the last few weeks. Get yourself organized, maybe do a little cleaning. A clean environment can clear the mind, prepare the soul and make room for new manifestation and fresh air.
Mars moves into Taurus, and our physical appetites may be strong. Diets may fall to the wayside and lusty appetites can be appealing. Taurus is slow and deliberate and can also be fiercely loyal. Mars is our will power and our desire for action. Taurus is both peace seeking and pleasure seeking...you know...easy pleasures. Go ahead and indulge as long as you are not hurting yourself or others in the process.
Affirmation for the day:
Abundance surrounds me everywhere I look.
Live your truth and open to the authentic living flow of of your being. Until next week...
