A New Moon On Monday

(my first and only Duran Duran reference)

"Shake up the picture

The lizard mixture

With your dance on the eventide

You got me coming up with answers

All of which I deny

I said it again

Could I please rephrase it?"

-Admit it. Duran Duran's lyrics were garbage.

On the evening of May 26th, there will be a New Moon at six degrees Gemini. For those of you in the United States, you will also recognize that this is one of three holidays celebrating military veterans. Monday is Memorial Day there, a day in which those who died in military service in the past are recognized. Then there's another holiday for veterans who didn't get killed in action, and the third one for people currently in the military. The one thing all three of these holidays have in common is that they are all an excuse for a furniture sale somewhere. Still pending: proper funding for the Veterans Administration.

I always encourage people to use the time of a New Moon to dedicate themselves to a goal they want to achieve in the next month or so. That's true this New Moon too, especially when you consider that the Sun Moon conjunction is in a fairly close trying to Pluto in early Aquarius. So certainly there are going to be opportunities for real genuine breakthroughs.

Or, you know, you could just panic about the Saturn Neptune conjunction at the very first part of Aries. Using astrology to panic is fun, isn't it?
