Wednesday, MAY 8

The Moon continues its transit of Gemini until 5:07 AM EDT, after which the Moon transits its own sign, Cancer. Warmth, comfort, familiarity, and safety are drives with the Moon in Cancer. Mercury forms a semi-square to Neptune and a conjunction to Uranus this morning, and we can feel inspired to think and connect or communicate in new, fresh ways. This can be a time of mental breakthroughs, creative envisioning, innovative thinking, and perhaps nervous energy. We’re not content merely recycling old ideas or performing repetitive processes, and we are quick to latch onto progressive approaches and methods. We may seek to stir things up or shock others with our ideas and communications. Our senses may overload to the point that we are scatter-brained, impulsive, nervous, or impatient. If channeled well, however, we can come up with inventive, original, progressive, and unbiased ideas and methods. We’re looking for inspiration.

Later today, the Sun forms a sextile to Neptune–another indication that we’re seeking inspiration. We have better access to our imagination and intuition, although we may be distracted by shiny things — all that’s brand new, different, or unusual. What feels like serendipity experienced now may have to do with a good sense of timing and a feeling of being in sync with the universe. We are generous and charitable with our time and energy. We can see people and situations from a perspective that embraces and finds beauty in our differences. Philanthropic acts can be rewarding. This is also a good time for self-improvement programs or efforts.

The Moon ends its void period at 5:07 AM EDT when the Moon enters Cancer.
