The Sky Now - An Astrology Blog (May 4)

Curious and engaged should be the tone of the day, with a creative touch.  Mercury has transited into Gemini and the Moon will spend all but the last two hours of the day in Aquarius.  Mercury in Gemini accelerates our thought processes and shifts our focus outward. We feel ready to take on what problems exist in our life and we can be quite creative in our solutions.  We experience a keen desire to learn and express when the planet of the mind, communication and conceptual thought is in its home Air element sign.  Caution however against slipping into judgmental stances, which of course serve no real constructive purpose.  Mercury  will be in Gemini until July 11.  This longer than usual transit is the result of a retrograde which will occur from May 29 until June 22.  The Sun is still square Saturn, testing our patience with what limitations and restrictions exist in our life.  The energies attached to this aspect can be helpful in gaining awareness of how we limit our self in life. The Moon will be conjunct Jupiter just before it moves into Pisces at 10:09 EDT.  Our dreams tonight will be vivid and rich in texture, symbolism and meaning.  The Moon will transit the sign of Pisces until 7:52 AM EDT Friday.  Water sign people will feel most aligned with the cosmic energies during this time.
