Full Moon-Lunar Eclipse-May 26,2021-Washington, D.C.

This Full Moon is particularly potent being a Lunar eclipse. The eclipses can affect us for the next 6 months. The Sun is in Gemini, the sign of Communication and its ruler, Mercury, is also in Gemini as well as Venus, Goddess of love and creativity and finally, the Lunar north node. All of this Gemini indicates a time of important communication whether it be through speech, writing, creativity or love. The Moon and Lunar south node are aligned in the sign of Sagittarius opposite Gemini. Sagittarius being the adventurer and risk taker can sometimes blurt out communication without considering consequences. Neptune, God of the inner realm, is in a difficult aspect to Mercury, so confusion can occur if one abandons all caution. Saturn, the disciplinarian, is in a positive aspect to the Sun and Moon as well as the Lunar nodes so hopefully caution will be used in one’s communications whether spoken or written. If you’re feeling upset with someone or a situation, think twice before reacting. There is also a difficult T-square between the Sun and Moon to Jupiter in Pisces. This can create confusion and the square between Saturn and Uranus can exacerbate it if one just communicates whatever pops into one’s head. Remember, put on the brakes before responding. However, if you do slip up and communicate too much, learning lessons from it can be transformational as shown by the aspect between Mercury and Pluto, the planet of transformation.

On a positive note, there can be a lot of creativity at this time and if you’ve been considering a writing project this could be the time to do it-over the next 6 months.

There is also a positive trine aspect between Mars, the warrior, in the nurturing sign of Cancer and Neptune in Pisces, the spiritual realm that Neptune rules making this a perfect time for poetry, music and expressing compassion and nurturing. These are wonderful months for spending time with family and friends who you love or working for causes that help those in need.

The chart is done for Washington, D.C. and has as ascendant also in Gemini indicating this is a very significant time for communication within the government and to the public. There could be some confusion and also some backlash from those who disagree with those in power. This is nothing new but it is particularly potent at this time. There should be some successful programs that aid those in need and will show their effectiveness over the next 6 months.

As is often the case in life, this chart shows some very positive aspects and some challenging ones as well.
