Wednesday 6/1/11--Gemini new moon

Sun and Moon meet in Gemini (2:03pm Pacific time), the mental perspective near the top of our seasonal roller coaster, centered in the need for harmony (trine Saturn retrograde in Libra).

The shift of the Moon into Cancer on Friday (1:39am), after deep feeling has begun internalizing in tender sensitivity (Neptune retrograde in Pisces 7:06pm Thursday), brings a release of built-up emotional energy. Sunday it moves into passionate Leo, Tuesday into fruitful Virgo.

After emerging into Aries for the first time in 12 years on January 22, big, expansive Jupiter progresses into the peak earth power of Taurus on June 4, trine heavy Pluto in primal Capricorn. A time of great physicality begins. The transformative developments of the coming year will have creative power rooted in the force of nature. The Chinese call it The Year of the Dragon.
