Hi, how you going? We have a couple of things happening this week, which I'm gonna mention, but I wanted to begin by looking back at tourist season. We're in the last two days of Taurus on this Wednesday, the 21st of May we move into Gemini season or my birthday season. Uh, and something that I was saying to my friend. Sophia, uh, in a call on Friday was that for me, this hasn't been the kind of classic TAUs season. I think I've said on here before, it, it is my favorite. I love all of the earth seasons, uh, but particularly Taurus and this one, I feel like at least two of these weeks, two and a half of these weeks have felt a lot more. Like the full moon, like more of this scorpion energy than the stability, the patience, the reliability, the fertility of Taurus. I'd love to hear if that is similar to you or if this has just been a beautiful grounding, uh, yeah. Sensual time, but for me it's really. Being more of the chaos of, of Scorpio and, and the Scorpio full moon. So, yeah, I kind of feel like we, for me personally, I feel like I kind of skipped over tourist season this year and I'm, I mean, I'm really excited to enter Gemini. It's, uh, the world that I come from. Um, and yeah, so part of what is happening this week is this shift into Gemini, and we'll have a new moon in Gemini. Next Tuesday. So Tuesday week right now, and for the next week we have Mercury, which is the ruler of Gemini, hanging out in Taurus, which is beautiful. You know, sometimes this movement from Earth into air can be really noticeable. So I do welcome you to. Notice the shift in seasons come this Wednesday. We're going from groundedness, earthiness the body into the mental plane, into the fast movement of ideas, et cetera. And. Part of what is helpful, I think, is that Mercury will remain in Taurus for this first season. So that makes it kind of more of a soft landing because its ruler is still beautifully in the earth. And that's for the next week. Come the New Moon. Next Tuesday, Tuesday week, uh, the Sun, the Moon and Mercury will all be together in Gemini and that will really. I think start off a very fast, uh, energy, this very fast sense of being in idea, being in ether, being in the mental plane. So yeah, this is a week to really, uh, I would almost say stabilize into Gemini. Gemini is where we. It rules the third house. It's where we take in information. It's how we take in our information, and it's how we communicate that information. My first teacher used to call this archetype the cosmic photocopier, and that can really be related to one of its less conscious, uh, expressions where it takes in intel and then it, it parrots that intel out. I will speak a lot about Gemini over the coming weeks. I think like Scorpio Gemini is the other sign that gets like the worst rap in pop astrology world. It's one of the most misunderstood as being like fickle silly. Peter Panty. And while there's elements of that for sure, it has a lot of depth. It really is the archetype of Oracle. If we think about Mercury, uh, if we think about Hermes, these energies have winged feet. They take flight, they travel between realms with great ease, with a great lack of judgment as well. They will go into the underworld, they will fly out into the mortal realms. They'll go up to Mount Olympus into the immortal realms and back again, transporting messages like Oracle, transporting information with clarity and like I wanna say, cleanness, which is this lack of judgment. Part of what Gemini is able to do is hold manifold points of view. About the same thing, the same subject at the same time, there's no need to passionately defend or say why this is the right one. There's an innate curiosity with Gemini that wants to like a sweeper, it wants to scour and understand and sweep all of the intel, and then make decisions from that place. And I think that this is something that socially or in at least social media land, we could do with more of a dose of. I think that's been part of the, the. The job or the teaching of having Jupiter here in Gemini for the last year, uh, it's soon going to make its exit out of Gemini in, into cancer. But Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius. The opposite sign of Gemini and Jupiter is experiential. It's the student and teacher. I think Gemini is also student teacher energy, but in a different way. Uh, and so it's been encouraging. Uh, a widening of belief, a widening of faith, or, or a better way of saying that is a questioning of what our faith and belief is in anything. I don't mean in terms of God, though. That could certainly be a part of it. I mean, in terms of the meaning of your life. What is the meaning that you're ascribing to your own life, your own relationships, your vocation, the roles that you have in the world? All of these things. So we've had, Gemini has had an expansive 12 months where it's been expanding the field. Of its breadth of knowledge with more of this experiential energy. And I'll speak more about that too, especially as we approach the full moon in Sagittarius later on in June. So the other thing that I wanted to touch on here is that this week on the 24th, let me just double check that I have the charts here in front of me. Yes. So on the 26th of May, this is Australian time, the 26th of May, Saturn will move into Aries. So that means for all of you who have satin in Aries, and you can. Pull up your chart and see where satin is. What sign is it in? If you have satin in Aries, you will be entering either your first satin return or in if you're in your late fifties, you'll be entering your second satin return. And this will just be a taste test. This will be this first flush of what are the teachings here? It will be in Aries until the 1st of September. So you'll have this first little wave of any themes that, or anything that's gonna present itself during this time. Keep an ear to the ground and as I was saying in class last night, because we, we looked at our Saturn returns this week in astrology school, and it was incredible to hear such varied. Uh, play outs of this very deep initiation. I think a satin return is the strongest and most, uh, obvious astrological initiation that we have. I could talk about it for eons and I have the great privilege of reading for so many people who are in their Saturn returns first and second Saturn returns, which are really fascinating. There's different themes, obviously,'cause it's different stages of life, but both are incredibly potent and beautiful. Uh, and as I was saying in class, like with the satin return, it's not like you need to be hypervigilant. You don't need to now put on a magnifying glass. And hold that up and view your life through that lens. Not, not at all. Saturn is time, space. It's the external world. It's where it's the Lord of time. It's the Lord of karma. Karma here being, we reap what we sow. And during a Saturn return period, it is obvious what it is that we're sewing what we have been sewing with our. Life energy, our action, our intentions, what the, the juice that we've been putting into the world. We're able to see the results of that, both positive and negative. If there are any potholes in our foundations. The foundations of our psyche, the foundations of relationships of our career, whatever it is, and that will be dependent on where this falls in your chart. Then you will become innately aware of that during this time period. And so what I would recommend is you heed the call. You take note, write down what's presenting itself for you and for all of us. We're entering this period of Saturn moving into Aries, and it's brilliant. Like as I've been saying all year, there is so much that's happening in these last degrees of Pisces and these first degrees of Aries. We had the Mercury retrograde here. We had the Venus Retrograde here. Neptune has just moved over here. The North node was in Aries and flipped over into Pisces in January and now Satin is moving here and we'll join forces with Neptune here in Aries. So I want to speak to what that is. I think this is a beautiful thing. Aries is the sprinter. Aries is the initiatory, the, no, not, it's not initiatory. Sorry. It's the initiating force. Uh, it's the, the, the engine is purring. It wants to move. It's directional. It's our willpower. It's what, what are my intentions? Let's go take action towards those. And as I've been speaking a lot, and with this Mars retrograde that we had. Over the end of last year and into this year, your wants, your needs, your desires, how you are taking action towards those things. How you are not, has really been on the, I wanna say chopping board, but I don't mean that in a negative way. It's been under the spotlight. So Aries is the sprinter. It's the first one off the blocks. It has a head start. On everyone. It's, it's right out there. It's out. It's out the front, and it can be impulsive, it can be short range energy. As I spoke about in Aries season, part of the evolutionary process of this archetype is to move from impulsiveness to mastery over its fire. And to, to move from the all consuming quick burn into the intentional paced slow burn. So enter satin, it is the marathon runner. It is the one that starts steadily. It's not right up the front. It's not a sprinter. But it will lap you so many times and it will finish the race. Whereas Aries has that capacity to be the first one that says, I'm bored. I'm out of here. So what's gorgeous about this is we have the finisher, the marathon runner, the long game, the strategist. The architect moving into the territory of action initiation. Let's go. Let's begin this. I'm intentional. My energy wants to go here. My instincts are on fire to move in this area, and now we have strategic mind, practical application. Very, very clever, practical application coming into the picture. And it's on Neptune here. It was with Neptune in PIs, where we were really able to distill, gain clarity around self, uh, versus collective. How can I land? Through devotion and discipline and structure my visions. And now these guys join joined forces in Aries, which is vision, action, intention, solid foundation, all coming together. This is very, very potent, so utilize this for all of you. Utilize this time. Again, it will be there until the 1st of September. So yeah, play with this. I think we've had a lot of schooling in our, around what are our intentions? How are we or aren't we utilizing our willpower, our focus, our attention, our energy, and now we're entering this. So there's been a refinement around that. And now we're entering the stage where we're able to utilize these energies married with the vision, which is Neptune, the creative vision, the mystical vision, whatever it is, the daydreams with Saturn, which is again this strong foundation. Your desires, your visions, the action that you're wanting to take. Satin is now providing the legs for that and the legs, the foundations for that to last and walk for a very, very, very long time. So yeah, this is a. I don't know. This, this week feels a lot less intense than the last few. I'll say that it feels a lot less intense than the last several months. Uh, it's more kind of, yeah, you know what it feels like. It's just more, okay, now we're getting down to business. So I wish you well. Oh, I should say, so if you are, if you have satin in Aries and you want to understand, okay, well what, what? Are the themes of my satin return. That's very easy to, uh, decode in through somebody's chart. Then do book in for a session. I do have sessions available now in June. Again, I, I have read for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people in their first and their second return, and it's just, ugh. It's so juicy. It's so fun. It is my favorite thing to read and dive into. And for those of you who have satin in PIs, you have a reprieve. Now, this is an integration time for you. What is, what has arisen over this time period since March, 2023? Take stock of everything that has come up and all of the practical application that you have taken based off of the intel. The events that have unfolded in your life during this time, and then when that moves back in to your sign on the 1st of September, you, you have a lot of opportunity to revisit the themes of your return and to bring this integrated wisdom, this practical application to hand. And it will be back in Pisces from the 1st of September until Valentine's Day 2026. So I hope you'll have a beautiful week. I have a few things in the works both for this podcast, uh, an upcoming masterclass that one of my brilliant astrology school students suggested. So I have a mentorship coming. I have a few things. I'm just letting them. I will announce them more properly. But just so you know, there's things that are bubbling away, uh, and I'm really excited to bring them. I hope you have a gorgeous week. I'll see you next week.
