Robin's Zodiac Zone May 24th-May 30th: Mercury in Cancer & a Season of Retrograde

Animal message from Hawk for the cycle beginning with New Moon in Gemini on May 22, 2020

This week Mercury moves to Cancer on Thursday. The retrograde will be in Cancer from June 18th to July 12th between 14 and 5 degrees of Cancer. June is full of retrograde action.
Here's your forecast for the rest of May, minus the 31st which lands next week!


Sunday: The Moon meets Mercury in Gemini, and these two represent storytelling. You may feel inspired to document or share your present experience. Communication is today's theme with news, writing, phone conversations and other ways of connecting highlighted. It could be important to stay up to date with information, emails, and what's generally going on around you. Some will receive communication that requires answers and replies. Personal communication and broader sources of news will be percolation today. Gemini Moon void from 7:09 am to 10:32 pm EDT and the Moon then shifts to Cancer. Today's color is Yellow.

Monday: The Moon is in Cancer, and Uranus is the planet playing a significant role as the Moon and Mars both connect with this Taurus anchored influencer. Uranus disturbs the balance, shifts our footing or perspective, and sometimes changes everything in one fell swoop. Every month we have Uranus aspects, so this may feel no different or could stir up something you wouldn't expect. Mars sextile Uranus is a wild matter, energizing us both emotionally and physically. So you could feel very stirred up, adventurous, excited or even agitated. Things may come to the surface that you couldn't have predicted, and therefore we need to pay attention to anger or other uprisings in order to moderate and take care of them in a reasonable way. The Moon also aligns with Uranus adding to the feeling aspect as Cancer rules the emotions. Today, moods may be up and down or extreme. Wear White.

Tuesday: Cancer Moon aligns with Neptune and opposes planets in Capricorn, repeating a monthly pattern. Currently those two planets are retrograde. We'll revisit unfinished business, attempt to reorganize, and revise plans. Also Neptune adds to creativity and imagination. Put right and left brain abilities together and manifest results today or over time. Today may be the planting of the seeds or a major move toward your finished product or successful plan. Void Moon 9:06 pm EDT to 2:33 am tomorrow. Blue is today's color.

Wednesday: Leo Moon time starts at 2:33 am EDT. This looks like an active day with group dynamics and responsible agreements courtesy of Saturn retrograde in Aquarius, relentlessly holding on to stability as Moon and Uranus square, and a happy alliance between the Moon and Sun which may make us feel decisive and outgoing. It's a mixed Leo Moon, depending on your circumstances. The relentless holding could create stress. The Moon/Sun dynamic could release feel good vibes. Today's color is Gold.

Thursday: Leo Moon aligns with Venus retro for reconnections and reunions. Someone may get back in touch. You might feel like redecorating with things you dig out of boxes or basements, bringing them back to life. Beautify something today. At 9:30 am the Moon moves void of course for the rest  of the day. Business may not be worth pursuing. Find something to enjoy. Mercury moves to Cancer where the retrograde begins in a few weeks. This happens at 2:09 pm EDT. Mercury in Cancer is reflective and sentimental. Today's color is Pink.

Friday: The Moon enters Virgo at 7:40 am EDT and aligns with Mercury shortly after. It feels like the home front or family business is where today's energy leads. Take care of house, family, property, and simple tasks like cooking, gardening and cleaning. Family members or close colleagues can problem solve and plan together well today. Today's color is Brown.

Saturday: The Moon opposes Mars and Neptune in Pisces. There's a pull between practical, realistic options and idealistic dreams. Venus has the middle ground in Gemini, full of ideas especially the ones abandoned at some earlier time (maybe last year?). Revisit an idea that may now make sense, isn't too impractical, and blends your dreams with real action. If you're in conflict with someone, look for an answer you can both live with as you share possibilities without judging too quickly. Communicating well and fairly is the key to getting anything accomplished today. Some will choose to live in daydreams instead. Today's color is Light Blue.

Wishing you all the best, safety and contentment. May all beings be well, feel freedom and bliss.
