New Moon and Solar Eclipse on May 21st 2012


New Moon in Gemini on May 21st bring focus on all issues of communication and exchange - how you communicate your thoughts to others and how you tie in your own resources and competencies with those of other people, institutions etc.

This New Moon produces Solar Eclipse because it happens near the Lunar Node – near the point where Moon cuts the ecliptic.

The aspect with the Lunar Node corroborates the emphasis on interpersonal relationships what is already highlighted through the sign Gemini.

Venus is in social Gemini as well and has turned retrograde on 15th May . Retrograde Venus supports the new Moon theme with its tendency to reassess the impact of personal communication style. This is also a good time to evaluate the matters of buying and selling . Accordingly, making new plans is on agenda until June 27th when Venus goes direct again.

Mars has been in retrograde period since January 2012. In the periods when Mars is retrograde we often feel uncertain about how to effectively follow our goals and what actions will lead to fulfillment. Being in Virgo this time, retrograde Mars period was worthwhile for balancing pros and cons of our skills and actions, so we can start working with fresh energy when Mars turns direct, what happened on April 14th.

Venus makes a trine to Saturn in Libra which suggests that this New Moon focus supports long term plans in social and business matters.

Mercury will change from practical and down-to earth Taurus to versatile Gemini on May 24th, so you can expect the multitude of ideas and information, and some of them may prove useful . Great time for brainstorming.
The specific area of interest and action will differ depending on your natal chart .
