Astrology highlights for the week of May 29, 2022:

00:49 – This week's theme is "the hero's journey." Do you feel an internal push to move forward? Remember, you're always the hero of your journey! And here's a helpful mantra: "I move past fear, delays, and obstacles - and persevere!"

01:54 – The Big 3 - First, we are now in Gemini Season. This is a mutable air sign that rules communication. Watch for being scattered or anxious: Ground yourself! How can you be sociable? Flexibility, adaptability and  curiosity are key.

02:47 – Next, Mercury (which rules Gemini) is retrograde (Rx). It will station on fixed star Algol at 26 Taurus. It's also squaring Saturn at 25 Aquarius. Try not to rush decisions or pressure others. How can you be clear, realistic, and purposeful with your thoughts? It might be helpful to lean into the sextile to Neptune at 25 Pisces and trine to Pluto at 28 Capricorn. Consider: How can you find creative, compassionate, and inspired solutions? How can you be transformative, overcome obstacles, and embrace grit? Celeste discusses how these energies show up in the Depp/Heard trial.

09:20 – Finally, Mars and Jupiter will meet in Aries! They are starting a new cycle around action and abundance. Also, the New Moon this week is on the royal fixed star Aldebaran (9 Gemini). Aldebaran is linked to Mars and Jupiter, and is about success through integrity and honesty – but there's always a price. (If you fail and are not in alignment with integrity, there can be a fall.) How can you embrace enthusiasm and have a pioneering spirit to move forward?

12:57 – On Sunday, the word of the day is DELICIOUS. The week starts with the Moon in Taurus; it's the Balsamic Phase and a time of release. Be present with any thoughts or dreams that may come up to reflect your eclipse story. With ruler Venus also in Taurus, this is yummy! This is the day Mars and Jupiter join up at 3 Aries, so we may feel optimism and a drive to move forward! The shadow can be self-aggrandizement – try not to be obnoxious! The Moon enters Gemini at 10:22 am PT. And the Sun is on Prosperina; connect with family today if possible.

15:06 – On Monday, the word is GRIT. There's a New Moon at 9 Gemini (4:30 am PT). It's been a tough time, so think of how you can move forward steadily and persevere through difficulties. This lunation is conjunct the royal fixed star Aldebaran. How can you manage multiple opposing priorities that demand attention? Mercury is also parallel Sualocin: Lighten up!
