  1. The Sun conjuncts Mercury on the 18th, facilitating an alert mind and the ability to communicate clearly.
  2. The Moon enters Aries on the 19th at 7:30 pm, bringing extra energy and enthusiasm into our lives.
  3. Mercury squares the triple conjunction of Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune on the 20th.  It’s a little more difficult now to process the demand for internal change and we find ourselves restless for results.  This is not a good day for details – instead, spend time in contemplation, meditation, creativity.
  4. The Sun enters Gemini at 5:51 pm on the 20th and begins to shine more light on our ability to process and communicate our experiences.  The fog begins to lift.
  5. Mercury forms a harmonious sextile to Uranus early in the morning (EDT) on the 21st, lubricating the mental wheels once again so that we can filter our experiences in a way that has more meaning.
  6. The Moon enters Taurus at 12:40 am on the 22nd – comfort and security become the needs of the heart.
  7. Jupiter finally makes an exact conjunction to Chiron on the 23rd, continuing to amplify the siren’s call of the soul.
  8. The Moon is in conflict with the triple conjunction also on the 23rd which may create some emotional distress.  Just remember to relax and let the waters flow within to literally wash away the fear and resistance.
  9. The  Moon enters Gemini early on the 24th which gives us additional objectivity as we consider things from the perspective of the mind.
  10. The New Moon in Gemini at 8:11 am on the 24th (EDT) provides us with an opportunity for new beginnings.
