Astrology Daily for Tuesday, May 31

It’s the last day of May. It’s also the last day of the contemplative Balsamic Lunar Phase. We are still largely introspective and even a bit dreamy and disconnected throughout much of the day, due to a long void of course moon. Tune into your deepest thoughts today. You might even find signs of synchronicity all around ~ on bumper stickers on the car in front of you, in the lines of a song, or even in the words of others. It’s a good day for listening. The day bodes well for a slow, easy re-entrance into life ~ into action. The moon still remains in Taurus for much of the day. And even though it is void of course, it is still in the sign of the zodiac that asks for our presence and our attention to our bodies. It is rotted, grounded, tranquil, and serene ~ like the energies of Mother Earth on a calm, wonderful day.

Venus (planet of attraction and love) and Mars (planet of desire and action) are still closely chasing each other around the cosmos, in a sensual dance of passion and pleasure. How can you use this energy in your own relationships? What is it that you are not getting from your relationship? Committment? Security? Try asking how you might give those things to yourself ~ for whatever it is we are not capable of giving ourselves, we are also unlikely to be able to receive from another. If not already in a relationship, think about what or whom you might like to attract. It’s always a good reminder to “be” that which you are hoping to attract. When we become desperate, needy or lonely ~ we tend to attract the same. When we are in standing in our personal power, and love is pouring from our heart center ~ then we tend to attract the same. Like attracts like.

Tomorrow is the New Moon. And it is the first of three eclipses ~ two solar and one lunar, spread across a time span between June 1st and July 1st. Eclipses are thought to carry an extra added 10-times-the strength punch to the regular New or Full moon. Recall that the New moon is always a time of new beginnings. During an eclipse, the energy is largely pulled inward. It is also thought to illuminate our shadow energies, as well. The more “unconscious” we tend to be, the larger our shadow seems to loom. A little self awareness can go a long way, during this eclipse and for several weeks after. We all may carry some degree of rigid thought patterns, early conditioning, negative core beliefs, chips on our shoulder, personal insecurities and lack of personal power in one to several areas of our lives. These “shadow” characteristics live in the “dark,” and often block the light that is all around us ~ from shining through us and then emanating from us.

So, use this last day of the Balsamic moon to go within, get in touch with your own inner core, your inner truth and higher power. Surrender the “darker” side of your nature to the “light,” allowing yourself to radiate light in a 360 degree circle all around you, while letting go of all that you do not wish to carry on into the next cycle.

What might your intent be for the New moon on Wednesday?. Do you know where 11 degrees of Gemini is in your natal chart? This is the place where super-amped new beginnings are ripe for sowing new seeds of intent. Mine is in my 7th house of relationships, partnerships and marriage. So, during this season of eclipse, I might ask myself what shadow behaviors get in the way of having what I want in a relationship. Hmmm. Lots to ponder. (If you are interested to know what this new moon means for you in a short sentence or two, please email with your date of birth, place of birth and time of birth. Send requests to Dawn Elizabeth @ barenakedastrology@gmail.com ).

The moon shifts into chatty and versatile Gemini later this evening. In keeping with the tone of day, this changing of the guards will remain dreamy and even poetic, as the moon meets up with compassionate Neptune right off the bat, taking a bit of the buzz out of the busy Geminian bee ~ enjoying the honey still feels better than making it.

Until tomorrow ~ Peace
