ISLAND ASTROLOGER: WHAT DO THE STARS HAVE IN STORE?

On May 20, the sun moved out of the Taurus garden and into the Gemini conversation. When the sun is in Gemini, we become curious. What’s this? Why is that? Can someone explain this to me? We become hungry for knowledge and ideas, and we seek out others to engage in conversation. It is a time to learn, a time to socialize and a time to be mental gymnasts. On Thursday, May 23, the moon is full in the sign of Sagittarius, directly opposite the sun in Gemini. While we are beginning a season of mental activity and social dynamism, we can feel a strong need for deep truth and a desire for a world beyond our immediate surroundings. Under this full moon, we heed the call to adventure to test the ideas that we hold near and dear. Also today, Venus conjoins Jupiter at the very last degree of Taurus. It is a time of powerful grace when gifts are bestowed and love looms large. There is a touch of anxiety here, though, as this aspect also represents the culmination of a great love project and the beginning of something new and unknown. Avoid acting too brashly, rather dance in the appreciation for your many gifts.

Here are your horoscopes for the Sagittarius full moon and the Venus-Jupiter conjunction. Read for your rising and sun signs.

Gemini

May 21 – June 21

A very happy birthday season to all of our Gems. It may feel as though you have been on a pseudo-silent retreat this past year, feeling and behaving internal and reflective. Whether that time away felt nourishing or difficult or both, you can now relish in the joy of what you’ve accomplished. Welcome back. This full moon offers a high point in an important relationship in your life. 

Cancer

June 22 – July 22

Brainstorming is the fun part; putting the ideas into action takes work and dedication. This full moon is offering you the chutzpah to get the things done. The time to stop thinking and planning is now, so get messy and welcome any mistakes. It’s the only way forward. This sky encourages you to take a big dose of love and appreciation for your friends. Are you leaving or are they leaving?

Leo

July 23 – Aug. 22

As you start to spend more time socializing and seeking out friends, the full moon is pulling you toward more personal creative projects. How can you find your balance? I recommend getting your project done now so you can be with loved ones without feeling pulled away. It appears a big win or celebration is taking place at work. Revel in it.

Virgo

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22  

Right now feels like the last day of a grand vacation in a country you’ve never visited. You’re soaking in the experience and preparing to pack up and head home, changed but ready to return. Breathe it in, then start getting your things together. Take the time to appreciate your home and family under this full moon because your work is about to take a lot of your time. 

Libra

Sept. 23 – Oct. 23 

Are you finally paying off a major debt or receiving a windfall of moolah, like an inheritance? A joyous moment is coming at you from an area of collective resources, and it is time to celebrate. Perhaps there is some tension here, though. How will you use this bonus in the best way? Take time to plan. Keep your awareness on a global level, but let your intimate feelings stay local. 

Scorpio

Oct. 24 – Nov. 21

Something is coming to a head in an important relationship, but there is a buoyant love at this crest. Walk through this shift with gratitude and you will soak in all the nutrients available to you. With your eyes on the needs of those around you, be sure to tend to your own physical and emotional needs. You can’t help others without first helping yourself. Let your body tell you what it needs.

Sagittarius 

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

You seem to have gotten into a whole new routine, and it is time to relish in your hard work and appreciate how far you’ve come. Let the goodness come to you because you’ve been investing in this return. Take the time to care for yourself for a bit because there is going to be a lot of focus on your relationship in the coming month. This full moon is a return to your center.

Capricorn

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

Are you about to share your magnum opus with the world? Is your child having a major milestone, or did you find a new activity that brings you bliss? Something really good is happening in your house of creative stewardship. See if you can slow down to enjoy it. In fact, take time to yourself under this full moon. You’ve been working hard.

Aquarius

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

There is a great joy taking place with your home and family. Perhaps you’re completing that painting project or you have a sister coming to visit. Revel in the comforts of your most intimate people and places right now. Under this full moon, be sure to spend time with your friends and take a moment to appreciate your chosen family. This will help you find your creative spark.

Pisces

Feb. 19 – March 20

This is a fantastic time to see the artistry and abundance that is around you all the time, yet usually fails to make it into your awareness. Something big and beautiful is coming your way, and it is not traveling far. It is right in your immediate vicinity — perhaps some kind words from a neighbor or a siblings’ night out. Under this full moon, that thing at work will be coming to fruition.

Aries

March 21 – April 19

You can celebrate now because you are finally seeing the fruits of your financial planning, or you are making a big purchase that brings you joy, or you have some other big, beautiful financial event going on. There might be a little nervousness here, but trust that it will pass. Under this full moon, break away from your usual haunts and do something out of the ordinary.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

The greatest love of all is happening to you, and it is an abundance of love for yourself. Listen to Whitney’s song on repeat the next few days and get all the warm fuzzies. One thing you don’t want to do is wait for the other shoe to drop because this love is here to stay. This full moon is a reminder that you have investments in other people that need to be attended to.
