Wednesday, MAY 1
The Moon in fair-minded Aquarius brings a wave of friendly, progressive, and intelligent energy. This Moon encourages us to gravitate towards unusual and different activities, offering a unique perspective.
The Last Quarter Moon, coinciding with the Aquarius Moon’s square to the Sun, signals a time for review and sorting, rather than pushing for something new. Until the New Moon on the 7th, it’s a generally better time to tie up loose ends, take inventory, and most importantly, let go if necessary.
This period is about understanding what does and doesn’t work for us, empowering us to take control of our lives. Ideally, we channel the quarter Moon’s crisis-oriented energy into productivity.

Thursday, MAY 2
Pluto stations and turns retrograde today, and Pluto’s intense and complex energy hangs heavy in the air in the days surrounding this event.
Now and over the coming months (Pluto is retrograde until October 11th), we are not as open, overt, or direct about our desire for control or power, and some of us may be less in touch with it. This shift of direction can bring about some initial confusion, heaviness, and magnification of problems.
Pluto’s retrograde cycle itself, however, is an excellent period for research and gaining new insight into our self-destructive tendencies, needs for control, and search for the truth by looking within. Outward pressures may ease somewhat during this period. Over the coming months, we may reassess how we use our power.
This is the second retrograde Pluto makes while in the sign of Aquarius. On September 1st, retrograde Pluto will return to Capricorn for the final time.
Today, we approach a Mars-Pluto sextile that’s a little more powerful due to Pluto’s station. We benefit from a patient and deliberate approach rather than pushing for immediate action.
The Moon continues in the sign of Aquarius until 2:52 PM EDT, when it moves into Pisces, awakening our need for spiritual refreshment or escape. Ideally, this is a time for decompressing, winding down, and tapping into our intuition.
The Moon is void from 5:28 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Pisces at 2:52 PM EDT.

Pluto stations and turns retrograde today and will be retrograde until October 11th. This shift of direction tends to bring about some initial confusion, heaviness, and magnification of problems.

Pluto begins its retrograde early in the sign of Aquarius (Pluto first entered Aquarius on March 23rd, 2023, and again on January 20th, 2024), but returns to Capricorn in retrograde motion on September 1st, 2024. This will be the final dip back into Capricorn.

Friday, MAY 3
Mars forms a sextile with Pluto this morning, and our drive to succeed, excel, and control is stirring with positive results. We might throw ourselves wholeheartedly into a pursuit. Pursuing our goals and satisfying our desires feels natural, and we’re better at strategy—ambitions and determination increase. We’re getting in touch with what we want and devising plans to go for it. We may be focusing on redoing or reworking something from the ground up.
However, the Sun forms a semi-square to Neptune later today, and there can be some indecision, limbo, or listlessness. Our willpower can plummet as we stray from our goals and temporarily lose focus. This aspect is a gentle reminder to consider our need for downtime, fantasy, or spiritual refreshment.

Saturday, MAY 4
The Moon continues its transit of Pisces until 4:41 PM EDT, harmonizing with Jupiter and Uranus and aligning with Neptune. We’re not only tuning into our imagination but also finding ways to put it to positive use. The importance of emotional or mental refreshment cannot be overstated, as it helps us gain perspective.
However, we crave action with the Moon’s move into Aries at 4:41 PM and its alignment with Mars tonight. Taking the initiative is appropriate now.
A Mars-Pallas trine points to the courage and energy to back up our beliefs, and a Venus-Juno trine inclines us toward togetherness, creating harmony, and sharing power. We may gain an advantage not only in our personal lives but also in business or finances by promoting peace.
The Moon is void from 3:06 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Neptune), until the Moon enters Aries at 4:41 PM EDT.

Sunday, MAY 5
The Moon spends the day in straightforward, bold, action-oriented Aries. We want to start fresh and move on, and we have no interest in dwelling on the past. We can be excited about our personal plans. However, this Moon can be impatient and hasty. This evening, the Moon aligns with the North Node of the Moon, reminding us to embrace our individuality and assert ourselves confidently.

The Moon is New in Taurus on May 7, 2024, at 11:22 PM EDT.
The following is the chart wheel of the Taurus New Moon in 2024.
The New Moon in Taurus marks the beginning of a new cycle. The Aries New Moon cycle ends and the Taurus New Moon cycle begins.
The New Moon in Taurus is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Bull. It’s time to enjoy life’s simple and physical pleasures–savor good food and enjoy activities that bring us in touch with nature and with our bodies. It’s time to stop and smell the roses and to become more aware of what makes us feel comfortable and secure.
This is a good cycle under which to re-evaluate our relationship to money and possessions and to discover what truly makes us happy and fulfilled.
This New Moon aligns with Uranus and harmonizes with Saturn. We’re listening to our needs for change and innovation, but we’re respecting the process, a need for patience, and what’s worked for us in the past.
With this potent Taurus energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives. It’s time to make some solid and realistic plans and to set the stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings, as little or big as they may be, in approximately two weeks’ time after the Full Moon occurs.
This phase of the Moon occurs at 18 degrees and 2 minutes of Taurus, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 14 to 22 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) the most significantly.
The above chart is good for seeing the most important influences and the chart pattern for this New Moon. The following includes additional points for the nuances:

Mercury enters Taurus
Mercury is in Taurus from May 15th to June 3rd, 2024.
When Mercury is in Taurus, our thinking is down to earth, solid, and grounded. Common sense reigns over more fanciful thinking.
We communicate more deliberately under this influence, and our minds are oriented to the world of the five senses. We prefer the tried and true to new ways of thinking.
Attention to one thing at a time can simplify our lives, but we may be in danger of narrow, overly conservative, or rigid thinking.
- comfortably-paced decisions and thought processes
- thinking cannot be rushed or pushed
- pleasant speech, voice
- capable of (and content with) rote, routine, deliberate, or monotonous work/methods
- common sense is strong and dominant
- practical intelligence
- stubborn line of thinking/position

Sun enters Gemini
Sun is in Gemini from May 20-June 20, 2024.
Knowledge and diversity motivate us with the Sun in Gemini. We are more sociable, intellectual, and insatiably curious under this influence. We tend to scatter our energies due to this curiosity and awareness of all of our options. We are more communicative and versatile, but we can also be unreliable.
Gemini represents duality and mediation. Gemini’s energy is intelligent, optimistic, observant, and adaptable. It’s skeptical, ready to consider alternate ways of thinking. We’re prepared to trade, share, exchange, pass on news, teach, guide, and learn.
We gather information during the Sun-in-Gemini cycle, and we benefit from this transit’s objectivity. We’re quick-witted, cheerful, engaging, and we easily adapt, observe, and listen–it’s a clever and crafty influence.
On the downside, we can be gossipy, overly intellectual, or too rational when a softer touch would be more appropriate. As we relay and process information, we could be living too much in our heads, disconnected from what’s in our hearts.
While the Sun is in Gemini in 2024, it forms the following aspects (excludes the Moon). The dates of the major Sun aspects are bolded green:
- May 20, 2024 12:07 PM Sun quintile Saturn

The Moon is Full in Sagittarius on May 23, 2024, at 9:53 AM EDT.
Details
The Moon is Full in Sagittarius on May 23, 2024, at 9:53 AM EDT.
A Full Moon occurs when the Sun in Gemini forms an opposition to the Moon in Sagittarius. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional time – a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships.
We become more fully aware of what has been lacking or missing in our lives, particularly related to learning, adventure, spirited living, communicating, sharing, and commuting.
The Gemini-Sagittarius polarity is a mental axis, where Gemini represents the “lower mind” and Sagittarius represents the “higher mind.” The Gemini Sun encourages us to think logically, while the Sagittarius Moon persuades us to intuit and to think in a broader manner. Sagittarius symbolizes the quest for meaning and ideas that expand upon the “here and now.” Gemini is quite comfortable in its immediate environment or neighborhood, while Sagittarius stimulates us to venture beyond it.
Neglecting either end of the axis will surely backfire on us. Ideally, a balance should be found between the two energies, and this is what the Full Moon invites us to do.
This Full Moon is about communication, attitude, and sense of adventure. Something has been building inside of us, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out. Over the next two weeks, we will discover what this means for us. For now, we can’t sit on our feelings–we need to express them.
The lunation illuminates this conflict between logic and intuition/faith. With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic “illumination” occurs in our own lives. However, these new feelings and revelations are emotional ones, as there is a sense of emotions bursting forth into our consciousness. It’s time to express ourselves and to let things out of our systems.
Of course, we might want to exercise some care while doing so, knowing that what is coming out of us is fresh, unrefined, and not particularly rational as yet.
This Full Moon harmonizes with Neptune and Pluto, and the Sun has just recently aligned with Venus and Jupiter, bringing a sense of good luck and will along with some inspiration and determination to see things through.
The following is a chart of this Full Moon with some additional points:
This phase of the Moon occurs at 2 degrees and 55 minutes of Sagittarius, opposite the Sun at the same degree of Gemini, affecting people born with personal planets and points at 0 to 7 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) and at 29 to 30 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.

Venus enters Gemini
Venus is in Gemini from May 23rd to June 17th, 2024.
With Venus in Gemini, we have a finger in every pie. Curiosity motivates us on romantic and social levels. “Variety is the spice of life” is the motto now. We are sociable, communicative, charming, and interested.
While it’s a time when we can be animated and fun, we may also keep our distance on an emotional level. Attractions now often begin with words, as we tend to bond more readily on a mental level while Venus is in Gemini. We’re most attracted to mentally interesting people.
Sometimes, our curiosity leads us into relationships that we might not form otherwise. The shadow side of Gemini is fickleness or disinterest in profundity.
Venus in Gemini is flirtatious, captivating, and adaptable. We ask questions and want to keep things light and lively. During this transit, we do best when we’re mentally engaged and our desire for variety is addressed. Social stimulation is appealing. Good fortune with transportation and communication can figure strongly.

Details
Jupiter enters Gemini
Jupiter is in Gemini from May 25, 2024 to June 9, 2025.
Jupiter spends a little over a year in the sign of Gemini.
In Gemini, Jupiter urges us to learn as much as we can about the people around us, as well as to learn, share, and connect.
During this Jupiter in Gemini cycle, we place strong emphasis and value on the intellect. We see opportunities to grow and succeed through intellectual, verbal, and written channels. We are more inclined to believe that intelligence and knowledge are the major keys to solving problems. Communication and contact are valued.
With an Air sign Jupiter, we are mentally adventurous, ready and willing to learn, into mind expansion, and less attached to our values because we are generally quite impartial and open-minded. We are able to see many sides to an argument.
More specifically with Jupiter in Gemini, we attract the most good fortune when we use our wit and ingeniousness, are versatile, sociable, curious, and put others at ease with friendliness and sincere curiosity.
Jupiter’s zeal can supersede moderation at times. It can expand the more negative qualities of a sign, just as it can expand the positive traits. Its zeal and enthusiasm are well-intentioned, but it can blind us to our immoderate behavior. In Gemini, negative manifestations include lack of follow through, too many ideas without a plan to set them into motion, gossip, too much information, fickleness, ambivalence, and indecision. We may take on too many things and lose focus, for example.
However, the higher vibration of Jupiter looks for perspective. Jupiter’s “perspective” isn’t a detached, analytical, or detailed look at any given situation, but an overview–a look at the “big picture”. With Jupiter, ideally, we are able to rise above pettiness, mundane concerns, inconveniences, and the like.
Where Jupiter is currently transiting in your own chart is generally where you are inclined to find your “joy” at this stage in your development.
Jupiter in Gemini finds joy in getting–and keeping–in touch. It’s a powerful time to improve our communication skills, and it’s an excellent period for upgrading the systems, machines, or devices that keep us mobile and connected–for example, phones, cars, bikes, computers, and so forth. New avenues or channels for communicating and transiting can open up.
We have more options or we see more options during this transit. Areas that can improve and benefit from this transit are sales, education, representing (agent), teaching, guiding, marketing, writing, editing, journalism, information gathering and relaying, transport, touring, languages, commerce, aviation, and communications.
There can be some good fortune or experiences surrounding communication and learning. Favored now are pursuits and fields that require dexterity, novelty, logic, gathering, collating, reporting, quick thinking, and agility. These areas can be most attractive or profitable.
With Jupiter in Gemini, we prefer learning programs with a focus on ideas, fact-gathering, interaction, and discussion. Belief systems that connect people and that encourage conversation, discussion, and questions are more appealing.
Building our communication skills or connections contributes significantly to success. Learning can be our comfort or pleasure zone.
We’re employing wit, ingeniousness, versatility, and social charm to our benefit during this cycle. It helps to put others at ease with friendliness and sincere curiosity. Being considerate is more in vogue and seen as a virtue.
More than usual, we value the intellect and see opportunities to grow and succeed through intellectual, verbal, and written channels. We strongly believe that intelligence and knowledge are crucial to solving problems and that being well-informed is empowering.
Small trips and errands can be more appealing or beneficial. Investments in communications and transportation may pay off. We value information more so than usual.
It’s a good time to facilitate learning and understanding through interesting and useful relays of information. We can pull together facts and deliver information in an attractive package. Over-simplifying or glossing over the more profound or unpleasant points could be a problem, however. It’s not a strong cycle for focus or concentration–we can be far more interested in quick synopses and soundbites than the full article or discussion. We tend to value logic over faith during this cycle. Overstimulation with superficial information could be a bigger issue now.
Jupiter is in detriment in the sign of Gemini, and the sign’s cool mentality is not a perfect fit for the expansive planet. We should watch for being too scattered or restless to benefit from this transit’s opportunities.
Health matters we might see more of now can be related to hands, arms, shoulders, lungs, tubes, connectors, capillaries, vessels, and sensory receptors. For example, Jupiter in Gemini, when challenged, can be associated with locomotor, blood, or cognitive disorders and stroke.
We might enjoy herding or gathering together, and we seek more stimulation. Dabbling and information gathering can also be more attractive or common. We’re more attracted to gadgets, puzzles, trivia, and words. Improving our immediate environment can be a fun and successful activity. We want to be the first to receive and relay the scoop during this cycle.
We take more interest in the history of education, law, and philosophy and reevaluate moral or religious instruction. It’s a good time to diversify our interests, although getting sidetracked is too easy. There can be more and/or better connections with siblings, neighbors, and classmates. Light social activities can be most rewarding, improving our outlook and morale.
- Do: connect with and repair relationships with siblings, classmates, neighbors; learn new things and explore new interests; improve communication and listening skills; commit to more frequent and quality connections with others; clarify and inform yourself and others.
- Don’t: skim the surface of topics; speak too much or too soon; take on too many projects or scatter energy; stay perpetually busy without getting much done.
The last time Jupiter transited Gemini was from June 11, 2012, to June 25, 2013. See also Jupiter transits Gemini.

Wednesday, MAY 1
The Moon in fair-minded Aquarius brings a wave of friendly, progressive, and intelligent energy. This Moon encourages us to gravitate towards unusual and different activities, offering a unique perspective.
The Last Quarter Moon, coinciding with the Aquarius Moon’s square to the Sun, signals a time for review and sorting, rather than pushing for something new. Until the New Moon on the 7th, it’s a generally better time to tie up loose ends, take inventory, and most importantly, let go if necessary.
This period is about understanding what does and doesn’t work for us, empowering us to take control of our lives. Ideally, we channel the quarter Moon’s crisis-oriented energy into productivity.

Thursday, MAY 2
Pluto stations and turns retrograde today, and Pluto’s intense and complex energy hangs heavy in the air in the days surrounding this event.
Now and over the coming months (Pluto is retrograde until October 11th), we are not as open, overt, or direct about our desire for control or power, and some of us may be less in touch with it. This shift of direction can bring about some initial confusion, heaviness, and magnification of problems.
Pluto’s retrograde cycle itself, however, is an excellent period for research and gaining new insight into our self-destructive tendencies, needs for control, and search for the truth by looking within. Outward pressures may ease somewhat during this period. Over the coming months, we may reassess how we use our power.
This is the second retrograde Pluto makes while in the sign of Aquarius. On September 1st, retrograde Pluto will return to Capricorn for the final time.
Today, we approach a Mars-Pluto sextile that’s a little more powerful due to Pluto’s station. We benefit from a patient and deliberate approach rather than pushing for immediate action.
The Moon continues in the sign of Aquarius until 2:52 PM EDT, when it moves into Pisces, awakening our need for spiritual refreshment or escape. Ideally, this is a time for decompressing, winding down, and tapping into our intuition.
The Moon is void from 5:28 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Pisces at 2:52 PM EDT.

Friday, MAY 3
Mars forms a sextile with Pluto this morning, and our drive to succeed, excel, and control is stirring with positive results. We might throw ourselves wholeheartedly into a pursuit. Pursuing our goals and satisfying our desires feels natural, and we’re better at strategy—ambitions and determination increase. We’re getting in touch with what we want and devising plans to go for it. We may be focusing on redoing or reworking something from the ground up.
However, the Sun forms a semi-square to Neptune later today, and there can be some indecision, limbo, or listlessness. Our willpower can plummet as we stray from our goals and temporarily lose focus. This aspect is a gentle reminder to consider our need for downtime, fantasy, or spiritual refreshment.

Saturday, MAY 4
The Moon continues its transit of Pisces until 4:41 PM EDT, harmonizing with Jupiter and Uranus and aligning with Neptune. We’re not only tuning into our imagination but also finding ways to put it to positive use. The importance of emotional or mental refreshment cannot be overstated, as it helps us gain perspective.
However, we crave action with the Moon’s move into Aries at 4:41 PM and its alignment with Mars tonight. Taking the initiative is appropriate now.
A Mars-Pallas trine points to the courage and energy to back up our beliefs, and a Venus-Juno trine inclines us toward togetherness, creating harmony, and sharing power. We may gain an advantage not only in our personal lives but also in business or finances by promoting peace.
The Moon is void from 3:06 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Neptune), until the Moon enters Aries at 4:41 PM EDT.

Sunday, MAY 5
The Moon spends the day in straightforward, bold, action-oriented Aries. We want to start fresh and move on, and we have no interest in dwelling on the past. We can be excited about our personal plans. However, this Moon can be impatient and hasty. This evening, the Moon aligns with the North Node of the Moon, reminding us to embrace our individuality and assert ourselves confidently.

The Moon is New in Taurus on May 7, 2024, at 11:22 PM EDT.
The following is the chart wheel of the Taurus New Moon in 2024.
The New Moon in Taurus marks the beginning of a new cycle. The Aries New Moon cycle ends and the Taurus New Moon cycle begins.
The New Moon in Taurus is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Bull. It’s time to enjoy life’s simple and physical pleasures–savor good food and enjoy activities that bring us in touch with nature and with our bodies. It’s time to stop and smell the roses and to become more aware of what makes us feel comfortable and secure.
This is a good cycle under which to re-evaluate our relationship to money and possessions and to discover what truly makes us happy and fulfilled.
This New Moon aligns with Uranus and harmonizes with Saturn. We’re listening to our needs for change and innovation, but we’re respecting the process, a need for patience, and what’s worked for us in the past.
With this potent Taurus energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives. It’s time to make some solid and realistic plans and to set the stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings, as little or big as they may be, in approximately two weeks’ time after the Full Moon occurs.
This phase of the Moon occurs at 18 degrees and 2 minutes of Taurus, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 14 to 22 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) the most significantly.
The above chart is good for seeing the most important influences and the chart pattern for this New Moon. The following includes additional points for the nuances:

Mercury enters Taurus
Mercury is in Taurus from May 15th to June 3rd, 2024.
When Mercury is in Taurus, our thinking is down to earth, solid, and grounded. Common sense reigns over more fanciful thinking.
We communicate more deliberately under this influence, and our minds are oriented to the world of the five senses. We prefer the tried and true to new ways of thinking.
Attention to one thing at a time can simplify our lives, but we may be in danger of narrow, overly conservative, or rigid thinking.
- comfortably-paced decisions and thought processes
- thinking cannot be rushed or pushed
- pleasant speech, voice
- capable of (and content with) rote, routine, deliberate, or monotonous work/methods
- common sense is strong and dominant
- practical intelligence
- stubborn line of thinking/position

Sun enters Gemini
Sun is in Gemini from May 20-June 20, 2024.
Knowledge and diversity motivate us with the Sun in Gemini. We are more sociable, intellectual, and insatiably curious under this influence. We tend to scatter our energies due to this curiosity and awareness of all of our options. We are more communicative and versatile, but we can also be unreliable.
Gemini represents duality and mediation. Gemini’s energy is intelligent, optimistic, observant, and adaptable. It’s skeptical, ready to consider alternate ways of thinking. We’re prepared to trade, share, exchange, pass on news, teach, guide, and learn.
We gather information during the Sun-in-Gemini cycle, and we benefit from this transit’s objectivity. We’re quick-witted, cheerful, engaging, and we easily adapt, observe, and listen–it’s a clever and crafty influence.
On the downside, we can be gossipy, overly intellectual, or too rational when a softer touch would be more appropriate. As we relay and process information, we could be living too much in our heads, disconnected from what’s in our hearts.
While the Sun is in Gemini in 2024, it forms the following aspects (excludes the Moon). The dates of the major Sun aspects are bolded green:
- May 20, 2024 12:07 PM Sun quintile Saturn

The Moon is Full in Sagittarius on May 23, 2024, at 9:53 AM EDT.
Details
The Moon is Full in Sagittarius on May 23, 2024, at 9:53 AM EDT.
A Full Moon occurs when the Sun in Gemini forms an opposition to the Moon in Sagittarius. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional time – a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships.
We become more fully aware of what has been lacking or missing in our lives, particularly related to learning, adventure, spirited living, communicating, sharing, and commuting.
The Gemini-Sagittarius polarity is a mental axis, where Gemini represents the “lower mind” and Sagittarius represents the “higher mind.” The Gemini Sun encourages us to think logically, while the Sagittarius Moon persuades us to intuit and to think in a broader manner. Sagittarius symbolizes the quest for meaning and ideas that expand upon the “here and now.” Gemini is quite comfortable in its immediate environment or neighborhood, while Sagittarius stimulates us to venture beyond it.
Neglecting either end of the axis will surely backfire on us. Ideally, a balance should be found between the two energies, and this is what the Full Moon invites us to do.
This Full Moon is about communication, attitude, and sense of adventure. Something has been building inside of us, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out. Over the next two weeks, we will discover what this means for us. For now, we can’t sit on our feelings–we need to express them.
The lunation illuminates this conflict between logic and intuition/faith. With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic “illumination” occurs in our own lives. However, these new feelings and revelations are emotional ones, as there is a sense of emotions bursting forth into our consciousness. It’s time to express ourselves and to let things out of our systems.
Of course, we might want to exercise some care while doing so, knowing that what is coming out of us is fresh, unrefined, and not particularly rational as yet.
This Full Moon harmonizes with Neptune and Pluto, and the Sun has just recently aligned with Venus and Jupiter, bringing a sense of good luck and will along with some inspiration and determination to see things through.
The following is a chart of this Full Moon with some additional points:
This phase of the Moon occurs at 2 degrees and 55 minutes of Sagittarius, opposite the Sun at the same degree of Gemini, affecting people born with personal planets and points at 0 to 7 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) and at 29 to 30 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.

Venus enters Gemini
Venus is in Gemini from May 23rd to June 17th, 2024.
With Venus in Gemini, we have a finger in every pie. Curiosity motivates us on romantic and social levels. “Variety is the spice of life” is the motto now. We are sociable, communicative, charming, and interested.
While it’s a time when we can be animated and fun, we may also keep our distance on an emotional level. Attractions now often begin with words, as we tend to bond more readily on a mental level while Venus is in Gemini. We’re most attracted to mentally interesting people.
Sometimes, our curiosity leads us into relationships that we might not form otherwise. The shadow side of Gemini is fickleness or disinterest in profundity.
Venus in Gemini is flirtatious, captivating, and adaptable. We ask questions and want to keep things light and lively. During this transit, we do best when we’re mentally engaged and our desire for variety is addressed. Social stimulation is appealing. Good fortune with transportation and communication can figure strongly.

Details
Jupiter enters Gemini
Jupiter is in Gemini from May 25, 2024 to June 9, 2025.
Jupiter spends a little over a year in the sign of Gemini.
In Gemini, Jupiter urges us to learn as much as we can about the people around us, as well as to learn, share, and connect.
During this Jupiter in Gemini cycle, we place strong emphasis and value on the intellect. We see opportunities to grow and succeed through intellectual, verbal, and written channels. We are more inclined to believe that intelligence and knowledge are the major keys to solving problems. Communication and contact are valued.
With an Air sign Jupiter, we are mentally adventurous, ready and willing to learn, into mind expansion, and less attached to our values because we are generally quite impartial and open-minded. We are able to see many sides to an argument.
More specifically with Jupiter in Gemini, we attract the most good fortune when we use our wit and ingeniousness, are versatile, sociable, curious, and put others at ease with friendliness and sincere curiosity.
Jupiter’s zeal can supersede moderation at times. It can expand the more negative qualities of a sign, just as it can expand the positive traits. Its zeal and enthusiasm are well-intentioned, but it can blind us to our immoderate behavior. In Gemini, negative manifestations include lack of follow through, too many ideas without a plan to set them into motion, gossip, too much information, fickleness, ambivalence, and indecision. We may take on too many things and lose focus, for example.
However, the higher vibration of Jupiter looks for perspective. Jupiter’s “perspective” isn’t a detached, analytical, or detailed look at any given situation, but an overview–a look at the “big picture”. With Jupiter, ideally, we are able to rise above pettiness, mundane concerns, inconveniences, and the like.
Where Jupiter is currently transiting in your own chart is generally where you are inclined to find your “joy” at this stage in your development.
Jupiter in Gemini finds joy in getting–and keeping–in touch. It’s a powerful time to improve our communication skills, and it’s an excellent period for upgrading the systems, machines, or devices that keep us mobile and connected–for example, phones, cars, bikes, computers, and so forth. New avenues or channels for communicating and transiting can open up.
We have more options or we see more options during this transit. Areas that can improve and benefit from this transit are sales, education, representing (agent), teaching, guiding, marketing, writing, editing, journalism, information gathering and relaying, transport, touring, languages, commerce, aviation, and communications.
There can be some good fortune or experiences surrounding communication and learning. Favored now are pursuits and fields that require dexterity, novelty, logic, gathering, collating, reporting, quick thinking, and agility. These areas can be most attractive or profitable.
With Jupiter in Gemini, we prefer learning programs with a focus on ideas, fact-gathering, interaction, and discussion. Belief systems that connect people and that encourage conversation, discussion, and questions are more appealing.
Building our communication skills or connections contributes significantly to success. Learning can be our comfort or pleasure zone.
We’re employing wit, ingeniousness, versatility, and social charm to our benefit during this cycle. It helps to put others at ease with friendliness and sincere curiosity. Being considerate is more in vogue and seen as a virtue.
More than usual, we value the intellect and see opportunities to grow and succeed through intellectual, verbal, and written channels. We strongly believe that intelligence and knowledge are crucial to solving problems and that being well-informed is empowering.
Small trips and errands can be more appealing or beneficial. Investments in communications and transportation may pay off. We value information more so than usual.
It’s a good time to facilitate learning and understanding through interesting and useful relays of information. We can pull together facts and deliver information in an attractive package. Over-simplifying or glossing over the more profound or unpleasant points could be a problem, however. It’s not a strong cycle for focus or concentration–we can be far more interested in quick synopses and soundbites than the full article or discussion. We tend to value logic over faith during this cycle. Overstimulation with superficial information could be a bigger issue now.
Jupiter is in detriment in the sign of Gemini, and the sign’s cool mentality is not a perfect fit for the expansive planet. We should watch for being too scattered or restless to benefit from this transit’s opportunities.
Health matters we might see more of now can be related to hands, arms, shoulders, lungs, tubes, connectors, capillaries, vessels, and sensory receptors. For example, Jupiter in Gemini, when challenged, can be associated with locomotor, blood, or cognitive disorders and stroke.
We might enjoy herding or gathering together, and we seek more stimulation. Dabbling and information gathering can also be more attractive or common. We’re more attracted to gadgets, puzzles, trivia, and words. Improving our immediate environment can be a fun and successful activity. We want to be the first to receive and relay the scoop during this cycle.
We take more interest in the history of education, law, and philosophy and reevaluate moral or religious instruction. It’s a good time to diversify our interests, although getting sidetracked is too easy. There can be more and/or better connections with siblings, neighbors, and classmates. Light social activities can be most rewarding, improving our outlook and morale.
- Do: connect with and repair relationships with siblings, classmates, neighbors; learn new things and explore new interests; improve communication and listening skills; commit to more frequent and quality connections with others; clarify and inform yourself and others.
- Don’t: skim the surface of topics; speak too much or too soon; take on too many projects or scatter energy; stay perpetually busy without getting much done.
The last time Jupiter transited Gemini was from June 11, 2012, to June 25, 2013. See also Jupiter transits Gemini.

Wednesday, MAY 1
The Moon in fair-minded Aquarius brings a wave of friendly, progressive, and intelligent energy. This Moon encourages us to gravitate towards unusual and different activities, offering a unique perspective.
The Last Quarter Moon, coinciding with the Aquarius Moon’s square to the Sun, signals a time for review and sorting, rather than pushing for something new. Until the New Moon on the 7th, it’s a generally better time to tie up loose ends, take inventory, and most importantly, let go if necessary.
This period is about understanding what does and doesn’t work for us, empowering us to take control of our lives. Ideally, we channel the quarter Moon’s crisis-oriented energy into productivity.

Thursday, MAY 2
Pluto stations and turns retrograde today, and Pluto’s intense and complex energy hangs heavy in the air in the days surrounding this event.
Now and over the coming months (Pluto is retrograde until October 11th), we are not as open, overt, or direct about our desire for control or power, and some of us may be less in touch with it. This shift of direction can bring about some initial confusion, heaviness, and magnification of problems.
Pluto’s retrograde cycle itself, however, is an excellent period for research and gaining new insight into our self-destructive tendencies, needs for control, and search for the truth by looking within. Outward pressures may ease somewhat during this period. Over the coming months, we may reassess how we use our power.
This is the second retrograde Pluto makes while in the sign of Aquarius. On September 1st, retrograde Pluto will return to Capricorn for the final time.
Today, we approach a Mars-Pluto sextile that’s a little more powerful due to Pluto’s station. We benefit from a patient and deliberate approach rather than pushing for immediate action.
The Moon continues in the sign of Aquarius until 2:52 PM EDT, when it moves into Pisces, awakening our need for spiritual refreshment or escape. Ideally, this is a time for decompressing, winding down, and tapping into our intuition.
The Moon is void from 5:28 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Pisces at 2:52 PM EDT.

Pluto begins its retrograde early in the sign of Aquarius (Pluto first entered Aquarius on March 23rd, 2023, and again on January 20th, 2024), but returns to Capricorn in retrograde motion on September 1st, 2024. This will be the final dip back into Capricorn.

Friday, MAY 3
Mars forms a sextile with Pluto this morning, and our drive to succeed, excel, and control is stirring with positive results. We might throw ourselves wholeheartedly into a pursuit. Pursuing our goals and satisfying our desires feels natural, and we’re better at strategy—ambitions and determination increase. We’re getting in touch with what we want and devising plans to go for it. We may be focusing on redoing or reworking something from the ground up.

The Moon is New in Taurus on May 7, 2024, at 11:22 PM EDT.
The following is the chart wheel of the Taurus New Moon in 2024.
The New Moon in Taurus marks the beginning of a new cycle. The Aries New Moon cycle ends and the Taurus New Moon cycle begins.
The New Moon in Taurus is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Bull. It’s time to enjoy life’s simple and physical pleasures–savor good food and enjoy activities that bring us in touch with nature and with our bodies. It’s time to stop and smell the roses and to become more aware of what makes us feel comfortable and secure.

Mercury enters Taurus
Mercury is in Taurus from May 15th to June 3rd, 2024.
When Mercury is in Taurus, our thinking is down to earth, solid, and grounded. Common sense reigns over more fanciful thinking.
We communicate more deliberately under this influence, and our minds are oriented to the world of the five senses. We prefer the tried and true to new ways of thinking.
Attention to one thing at a time can simplify our lives, but we may be in danger of narrow, overly conservative, or rigid thinking.
- comfortably-paced decisions and thought processes
- thinking cannot be rushed or pushed
- pleasant speech, voice
- capable of (and content with) rote, routine, deliberate, or monotonous work/methods
- common sense is strong and dominant
- practical intelligence
- stubborn line of thinking/position

Sun enters Gemini
Sun is in Gemini from May 20-June 20, 2024.
Knowledge and diversity motivate us with the Sun in Gemini. We are more sociable, intellectual, and insatiably curious under this influence. We tend to scatter our energies due to this curiosity and awareness of all of our options. We are more communicative and versatile, but we can also be unreliable.
Gemini represents duality and mediation. Gemini’s energy is intelligent, optimistic, observant, and adaptable. It’s skeptical, ready to consider alternate ways of thinking. We’re prepared to trade, share, exchange, pass on news, teach, guide, and learn.
We gather information during the Sun-in-Gemini cycle, and we benefit from this transit’s objectivity. We’re quick-witted, cheerful, engaging, and we easily adapt, observe, and listen–it’s a clever and crafty influence.
On the downside, we can be gossipy, overly intellectual, or too rational when a softer touch would be more appropriate. As we relay and process information, we could be living too much in our heads, disconnected from what’s in our hearts.
While the Sun is in Gemini in 2024, it forms the following aspects (excludes the Moon). The dates of the major Sun aspects are bolded green:
- May 20, 2024 12:07 PM Sun quintile Saturn
- May 21, 2024 12:00 PM Sun 1 Gemini 05 semi-square Mars 16 Aries 05

The Moon is Full in Sagittarius on May 23, 2024, at 9:53 AM EDT.
Details
The Moon is Full in Sagittarius on May 23, 2024, at 9:53 AM EDT.
A Full Moon occurs when the Sun in Gemini forms an opposition to the Moon in Sagittarius. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional time – a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships.
We become more fully aware of what has been lacking or missing in our lives, particularly related to learning, adventure, spirited living, communicating, sharing, and commuting.
The Gemini-Sagittarius polarity is a mental axis, where Gemini represents the “lower mind” and Sagittarius represents the “higher mind.” The Gemini Sun encourages us to think logically, while the Sagittarius Moon persuades us to intuit and to think in a broader manner. Sagittarius symbolizes the quest for meaning and ideas that expand upon the “here and now.” Gemini is quite comfortable in its immediate environment or neighborhood, while Sagittarius stimulates us to venture beyond it.
Neglecting either end of the axis will surely backfire on us. Ideally, a balance should be found between the two energies, and this is what the Full Moon invites us to do.
This Full Moon is about communication, attitude, and sense of adventure. Something has been building inside of us, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out. Over the next two weeks, we will discover what this means for us. For now, we can’t sit on our feelings–we need to express them.
The lunation illuminates this conflict between logic and intuition/faith. With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic “illumination” occurs in our own lives. However, these new feelings and revelations are emotional ones, as there is a sense of emotions bursting forth into our consciousness. It’s time to express ourselves and to let things out of our systems.
Of course, we might want to exercise some care while doing so, knowing that what is coming out of us is fresh, unrefined, and not particularly rational as yet.
This Full Moon harmonizes with Neptune and Pluto, and the Sun has just recently aligned with Venus and Jupiter, bringing a sense of good luck and will along with some inspiration and determination to see things through.
The following is a chart of this Full Moon with some additional points:
This phase of the Moon occurs at 2 degrees and 55 minutes of Sagittarius, opposite the Sun at the same degree of Gemini, affecting people born with personal planets and points at 0 to 7 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) and at 29 to 30 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.

Venus enters Gemini
Venus is in Gemini from May 23rd to June 17th, 2024.
With Venus in Gemini, we have a finger in every pie. Curiosity motivates us on romantic and social levels. “Variety is the spice of life” is the motto now. We are sociable, communicative, charming, and interested.
While it’s a time when we can be animated and fun, we may also keep our distance on an emotional level. Attractions now often begin with words, as we tend to bond more readily on a mental level while Venus is in Gemini. We’re most attracted to mentally interesting people.
Sometimes, our curiosity leads us into relationships that we might not form otherwise. The shadow side of Gemini is fickleness or disinterest in profundity.
Venus in Gemini is flirtatious, captivating, and adaptable. We ask questions and want to keep things light and lively. During this transit, we do best when we’re mentally engaged and our desire for variety is addressed. Social stimulation is appealing. Good fortune with transportation and communication can figure strongly.

Details
Jupiter enters Gemini
Jupiter is in Gemini from May 25, 2024 to June 9, 2025.
Jupiter spends a little over a year in the sign of Gemini.
In Gemini, Jupiter urges us to learn as much as we can about the people around us, as well as to learn, share, and connect.
During this Jupiter in Gemini cycle, we place strong emphasis and value on the intellect. We see opportunities to grow and succeed through intellectual, verbal, and written channels. We are more inclined to believe that intelligence and knowledge are the major keys to solving problems. Communication and contact are valued.
With an Air sign Jupiter, we are mentally adventurous, ready and willing to learn, into mind expansion, and less attached to our values because we are generally quite impartial and open-minded. We are able to see many sides to an argument.
More specifically with Jupiter in Gemini, we attract the most good fortune when we use our wit and ingeniousness, are versatile, sociable, curious, and put others at ease with friendliness and sincere curiosity.
Jupiter’s zeal can supersede moderation at times. It can expand the more negative qualities of a sign, just as it can expand the positive traits. Its zeal and enthusiasm are well-intentioned, but it can blind us to our immoderate behavior. In Gemini, negative manifestations include lack of follow through, too many ideas without a plan to set them into motion, gossip, too much information, fickleness, ambivalence, and indecision. We may take on too many things and lose focus, for example.
However, the higher vibration of Jupiter looks for perspective. Jupiter’s “perspective” isn’t a detached, analytical, or detailed look at any given situation, but an overview–a look at the “big picture”. With Jupiter, ideally, we are able to rise above pettiness, mundane concerns, inconveniences, and the like.
Where Jupiter is currently transiting in your own chart is generally where you are inclined to find your “joy” at this stage in your development.
Jupiter in Gemini finds joy in getting–and keeping–in touch. It’s a powerful time to improve our communication skills, and it’s an excellent period for upgrading the systems, machines, or devices that keep us mobile and connected–for example, phones, cars, bikes, computers, and so forth. New avenues or channels for communicating and transiting can open up.
We have more options or we see more options during this transit. Areas that can improve and benefit from this transit are sales, education, representing (agent), teaching, guiding, marketing, writing, editing, journalism, information gathering and relaying, transport, touring, languages, commerce, aviation, and communications.
There can be some good fortune or experiences surrounding communication and learning. Favored now are pursuits and fields that require dexterity, novelty, logic, gathering, collating, reporting, quick thinking, and agility. These areas can be most attractive or profitable.
With Jupiter in Gemini, we prefer learning programs with a focus on ideas, fact-gathering, interaction, and discussion. Belief systems that connect people and that encourage conversation, discussion, and questions are more appealing.
Building our communication skills or connections contributes significantly to success. Learning can be our comfort or pleasure zone.
We’re employing wit, ingeniousness, versatility, and social charm to our benefit during this cycle. It helps to put others at ease with friendliness and sincere curiosity. Being considerate is more in vogue and seen as a virtue.
More than usual, we value the intellect and see opportunities to grow and succeed through intellectual, verbal, and written channels. We strongly believe that intelligence and knowledge are crucial to solving problems and that being well-informed is empowering.
Small trips and errands can be more appealing or beneficial. Investments in communications and transportation may pay off. We value information more so than usual.
It’s a good time to facilitate learning and understanding through interesting and useful relays of information. We can pull together facts and deliver information in an attractive package. Over-simplifying or glossing over the more profound or unpleasant points could be a problem, however. It’s not a strong cycle for focus or concentration–we can be far more interested in quick synopses and soundbites than the full article or discussion. We tend to value logic over faith during this cycle. Overstimulation with superficial information could be a bigger issue now.
Jupiter is in detriment in the sign of Gemini, and the sign’s cool mentality is not a perfect fit for the expansive planet. We should watch for being too scattered or restless to benefit from this transit’s opportunities.
Health matters we might see more of now can be related to hands, arms, shoulders, lungs, tubes, connectors, capillaries, vessels, and sensory receptors. For example, Jupiter in Gemini, when challenged, can be associated with locomotor, blood, or cognitive disorders and stroke.
We might enjoy herding or gathering together, and we seek more stimulation. Dabbling and information gathering can also be more attractive or common. We’re more attracted to gadgets, puzzles, trivia, and words. Improving our immediate environment can be a fun and successful activity. We want to be the first to receive and relay the scoop during this cycle.
We take more interest in the history of education, law, and philosophy and reevaluate moral or religious instruction. It’s a good time to diversify our interests, although getting sidetracked is too easy. There can be more and/or better connections with siblings, neighbors, and classmates. Light social activities can be most rewarding, improving our outlook and morale.
- Do: connect with and repair relationships with siblings, classmates, neighbors; learn new things and explore new interests; improve communication and listening skills; commit to more frequent and quality connections with others; clarify and inform yourself and others.
- Don’t: skim the surface of topics; speak too much or too soon; take on too many projects or scatter energy; stay perpetually busy without getting much done.
The last time Jupiter transited Gemini was from June 11, 2012, to June 25, 2013. See also Jupiter transits Gemini.
