With the New Moon in Gemini, we can finally find balance in this upheaval and unrest in the world with intentional articulation of our needs. We're working collectively on trying to not make mountains out of molehills and get out of our own way to go after what we desire. With the personal planets of Mars in Aries and Venus in Taurus within their signs of dignity, there's a great opportunity to enact upon desires to build lasting foundations for what we really want. We grapple with a scarcity mindset and try to be realistic as we move forward once Mercury goes direct on June 3rd. On Episode 8 of Absurdist Astrology, Tessa helps us navigate through it all.

And on Episode 6 of Absurdist Astrology, Tessa gets emotional as she helps us navigate through it all.

On Episode 5 of Absurdist Astrology, Tessa helps us navigate through this residual Pisces energy (since Mars and Neptune are still in Pisces), and how that inertia transitions into the action-based energy of Aries (now that Venus has entered Aries as of May 2), and how that has brought discussions of women's rights to the forefront. Jupiter will also enter Aries on May 10, beginning at the start of the 12 signs of the Zodiac once more, for the first time since June 2010. Mercury retrograde in Gemini is coming up, too!
