The sun has officially moved into the sign of Gemini, the time of year when we get curious about the world around us, pay attention to the quality and quantity of information we share and receive, and let our thoughts wander into new territories of reverie. It is the season of fact-finding and fiction-making. Make sure you’re paying attention to which is which. This week is a good time to get serious about relationships, focusing on authenticity over breadth. Who do you consider true connections? With whom can you have difficult conversations, knowing they will still be around on the other side of the dialogue? On Thursday, Venus in Cancer forms a 90-degree square to Saturn in Aries. Think of this as the beautiful lover facing the critical eyes of the strict father. Love can be fun and games, but there are also hard truths that require attention. To work with this transit, acknowledge that all things beautiful require time and testing and try to incorporate that wisdom into your week. We also have a full moon in Sagittarius on Sunday, May 31. What grand belief will you build from the information you gather? How will you integrate the disparate bits of knowledge that you have into a cohesive wisdom? There is a level of faith required just to be alive and to get out of bed in the morning. Use this full moon to realize and nurture your faith, whatever that looks like for you.
Here are your horoscopes for Venus square Saturn and the Sagittarius full moon. Read for your rising and sun signs.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
Happy birthday season to all of our brilliant Geminis (myself so humbly included). Supporting yourself does not have to be burdensome. There are ways to survive AND experience love and joy. Taking to heart the hard truths that your friends share with you will only help you to achieve the abundance that you deserve. This full moon, appreciate an important partner in your life.
Cancer
June 21 - July 22
Loving yourself isn’t always easy, but it is absolutely necessary. Don’t shy away from seeing the beauty that you uniquely bring to the world. Feel your oats. That doesn’t mean traipsing around singing your own praises. Under this sky, you are being encouraged to be more restrained at work and in public. Use that as a power source. Under the full moon, get into a new daily routine.
Leo
July 23 - Aug. 22
You’re not known for your quiet repose, Leo, but solitude and reflection are necessary for everyone at times. What peace and love can you find in the quieter moments? What beauty awaits when you’re alone? Show some restraint in any grand adventures that call you away and choose your peace now. Under the full moon, do something creative to light your spark.
Virgo
Aug. 23 - Sept. 22
Take some time to appreciate all of the people in your life who show you love. You don’t have to do anything per se, just see and acknowledge. One of the best ways to do this is to be clear about your boundaries. Boundaries create relationships. See how you can negotiate your boundaries with those you love now. Under the full moon, come home.
Libra
Sept. 23 - Oct. 22
What do you love about the work you do? It doesn’t have to be everything, but it should certainly be something. Turn your focus to the things that you really enjoy and make those bigger in your awareness. An important partner in your life can help you define those things right now if you are struggling on your own. Under this full moon, say what you want to say.
Scorpio
Oct. 23 - Nov. 21
Pay attention to the adventures that are tugging on your heart strings. Where do you want to go? What do you want to learn? They might just be daydreams right now, and there is a lot of work you need to do — nose-to-the-grindstone sort of thing. But the work you accomplish now can support your dream adventures. Under the full moon, enjoy payday.
Sagittarius
Nov. 22 - Dec. 21
Vulnerability isn’t always easy, and you want to make sure you’re vulnerable with the right people, but it is something that will allow your heart to breathe out right now. You are getting serious about your creative projects at the moment, and the challenge is to make sure that you still can let your hair down with others. Under the full moon, check yourself out, babe.
Capricorn
Dec. 22 - Jan. 19
Sometimes, our important life partners are taken for granted. That’s understandable because they get woven into the daily fabric of life. Under this sky, though, look at your partner with fresh eyes and fresh appreciation. There may be some challenges or hard lessons at home, but your partner can be a soothing presence. Under the full moon, find some quiet and retreat.
Aquarius
Jan. 20 - Feb. 18
Every day, we all have stuff we gotta do. Brush the teeth. Make the bed. Eat the food. Clean the clothes. These constant mundane tasks can be met with boredom and frustration. But you can also choose to approach your daily chores and routines with a love that reminds you that you GET to do them. Try that out right now. Under the full moon, be with friends.
Pisces
Feb. 19 - March 20
Follow your bliss, Pisces. That is good advice all the time, but right now in particular, there is a creative love in your heart that is just begging to be released. What do you have to share with the world? Make art for your own joy rather than any monetary hopes. Show some discipline in your spending and be creative instead. Under the full moon, show your face in public.
Aries
March 21 - April 19
Home is where your heart is right now. Being at home and with family, whatever that looks like for you, is a source of genuine grace. You are being more disciplined with yourself, which might make it hard to calm and regulate yourself at home. Do your best to appreciate your sanctuary when you can. Under this full moon, allow yourself to adventure past the horizon.
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
While you are finding new forms of discipline in your quiet solitude, you do not need to carry those hard boundaries out into the world with you all the time. Your local environment is a source of love and appreciation right now. Find your siblings, whether blood or chosen, and just sit in the harmony they create. Under this full moon, invest in what you want to grow and receive what you deserve.
HAPPY HERMES, THE ISLAND ASTROLOGER: A Strong Imagination
We’ve arrived at the summer solstice, everyone! This is the longest day of the year and the day the sun moves into the sign of Cancer. The light has been growing since the winter solstice on Dec. 21, helping us each to discover anew our independence, courage, and uniqueness. As the dark half of the year takes over, we are reminded that we are always in relationship to others, and we will be able to utilize our newfound autonomy in a way that can relate to the collective. This summer solstice is special because it is also a full moon in a 90-degree square to Neptune. Today is a day of heightened self-awareness and heightened emotional awareness. Stand in your confidence of who you are and what you need. Claim these things. With Neptune in the mix, there is the strong possibility of illusion and disenchantment, but there is an equally strong possibility of faith and wonder. So, have your wits about you and trust your deepest instincts. Engage with your innermost sense of self, then let your imagination run wild.
Here are your horoscopes for the summer solstice full moon. Read for your rising and sun signs.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Your position in an important relationship is becoming incredibly clear, Cancer, and you know exactly where you stand. It is up to you to be honest with yourself. If your needs are being fulfilled, double down. If not, look for alternatives. If this relationship offers pipe dreams, walk away. But if it promises the real-life epic adventures that dreams are made of, trust that it is meant to be. Listen to your body.
Leo
July 23 – Aug. 22
Falling into routine can either offer freedom or entrapment. Under this full moon, letting your body do the regular things it does as if on auto-pilot will free you to enter into deep meditation. You don’t have to sit cross-legged; rather, your spirit can release when your body enters muscle memory. Beware of the fantasy that everything is yours, but accept that truth that you can have all you dream of.
Virgo
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
You can balance being part of a social circle while also fulfilling your personal creative goals. These two parts of your life can be quite complementary when you learn the dance. Right now, you can feel this balance and integrate it. An important relationship in your life is showing itself to be either a distracting mirage or an ideal partnership. Be honest about which one it is.
Libra
Sept. 23 – Oct. 23
Our public selves and our private selves can be very different, but for you they are syncing up in a powerful way. There is an uncanny balance between your work life and your home life. Take some time to integrate this moment so you can maintain it going forward. Be careful not to blur the boundaries, however. We all need respite from work. Dream up the perfect routine.
Scorpio
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
You need familiarity to feel grounded, but your soul is ready for something new. These are not mutually exclusive possibilities, particularly under this full moon. If you focus on your creative opportunities that may seem out of reach and work to make them manifest, you can walk the line between comfort and adventure. Perhaps identifying those projects is your full moon goal.
Sagittarius
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
You’re seeking a communal purpose to bring meaning into your life, but you also need to get your own ducks in a row. Is there a project you can work on that can fulfill both needs simultaneously? My guess is that dreaming an ideal version of “home” will lead you in the right direction. Be mindful not to invest your time in illusory visions; rather, live into a utopia that is also practical.
Capricorn
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
Your focus on an important relationship in your life is actually shining a light on your own needs. How is this person allowing or disallowing you to rest comfortably in your own skin? Do they keep you on edge or do they allow your parasympathetic nervous system to take over? Focus on your communication to determine what’s true. If you feel as though you’re communicating across boundaries, stick with it.
Aquarius
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
You may feel a strong need for isolation under this full moon, compelled to literally separate your body from other people. Take the time for yourself. As you focus on self-improvement by shining a light on your daily habits, take a respite from your social obligations to really sit with your usual patterns. Beware of snake oil salesmen, but feel free to spend your money on the means to your dreams.
Pisces
Feb. 19 – March 20
You’ve entered your creative season, when it seems like a light is shining on your creative goal and all you need to do is set it free. You can feel intuitively who in your circle is going to support you on your creative journey, so lean into them. Envision your ideal self or persona, and let that guide your artistry. However, try to maintain some semblance of practicality.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Work and home are major themes under this full moon. You’ve achieved something important at work, and the counterbalance is actually helping you to see yourself with home and family more. Find your flow between these two spheres of life. Be wary not to idealize alone time too much, but do take time to yourself to dream about your perfect work-home dynamic.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
As you naturally focus on your immediate surroundings and your familiar neighborhood, you also feel an intense need to get away and explore the world beyond. Perhaps doing something different in your hometown is just the ticket. What have you been telling yourself you need to try? Be careful of brown-nosers who are trying to get on your good side. They are not your friends.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
As you feel the need to get your things in order and to organize your finances, you are also turning your focus to ways in which you can contribute to collective projects. These are mutually supportive endeavors. You can help others while also maintaining your own needs. Visualize your perfect career or gig mixture and live into it. But be mindful of work opportunities that are simply too good to be true.
