Wow, today simply, you may feel that the timing is off! Things may be delayed—your future is unclear at this moment—and all you can do to make it through the feelings of frustration is complete the next task in front of you.
It is a time where solutions can be found, but it’s like the first episode of MacGyver, where he’s called out to rescue trapped scientists in a lab that suffered a mysterious explosion causing a leak of extremely corrosive acid —first, he has to figure out how to get past a laser security system, then how to rescue a scientist trapped in a cave-in, and all while beating the clock because if they don’t get the acid contained, the military is going to destroy the lab and everyone in it!
Except this is Mercury retrograde applying to square Saturn, which has almost stationed and is not moving hardly at all! This means that all the computer systems are on the fritz! And even though Mac has a LOT of courage, thanks to Mars and Jupiter in Aries, he’s stressed! If he doesn’t pull this off just right, it could mean a bigger disaster than the one he’s trying to solve!
This could be how you’re feeling this week—like there are all these things you need to take care of, all these things you need to do and you have the courage to do them, but shit just isn’t moving! Everything is moving really really slowly—like molasses, as they say. And this can be really frustrating, not to mention that we have Neptune in Pisces!
Have you ever tried to run in the deep sand? It’s like that and it’s also foggy as hell on the beach! You can only see ten feet in front of yourself—so are you heading towards the ocean or away? Are you near the cliffs or far from them? You don’t know because you can’t see where you’re going and you can’t get anywhere fast enough to gain perspective.
This will all feel very different when Mercury turns direct on June 3rd, but until then we are in the last degrees of Mercury retrograde and Mercury is squaring Saturn, which is stopped and about to go retrograde on June 5th—I’ve been saying the whole time Mercury has been retrograde to EXPECT DELAYS, but this week we will feel it even more. Saturn is the ruler of time and time has essentially stopped!
We want to communicate, stay curious, be youthful, and excited about things—we just had a New Moon in Gemini! But, we need to focus on the moment and the task that feels good and is right in front of us—it will only be frustrating and infuriating if we try to figure out the next ten moves or where exactly our lives are headed at this moment. If we can trust the process we will all be better off.
We have put out to the Universe our order for our best life ( Venus and the North Node are in Taurus—we desire and value the best things in life and we want to go towards them!), but the Universe is NOT a fast food joint! And we didn’t order fast food, did we?
We have to be patient while the Universal chefs prepare our order and trust in the divine timing! If you turn up the oven too hot or try to bake a cake too fast, the eggs in the middle will not have time to set and the cake won’t be done!
Patience.
Trust the timing this week.
Everything is going to be ok if we have patience and we aren’t too fickle and restless.
In order to pass this test given to us by the mighty Saturn, ruler of time, limitations, and constraints, we need to let go of the outcome, trust our intuition, do the work right in front of us, and channel our anger into productivity. Now is not the time to lash out, mouth off, or gossip our frustrations away—stay centered, communicate with care—this will all feel a little easier in a few days, promise.
*The Card for today is:
Knight of Pentacles—Reversed
The knight of pentacles represents the harvester—someone who is harvesting abundance in the areas of health and finances and the rewards of this harvest are seen in physical and tangible ways—being pentacles—but because this card is reversed we are faced with the realities that despite all our efforts we have not seen the harvest we were hoping for or expecting…yet.
I’ll draw another card…
What is our tool to get through this time?
King of Wands
Being a master of inspired creativity! So our tool is to let our creativity flow and not restrict the process. Focus, concentrate and pay attention to the creative forces within. Give in to your creative process, the inspired creativity that is within your soul, and let that manifest through your creative passions. Tap into this side of yourself to counter the unpredictability of the times right now.
We may not know exactly when our abundant future will unfold and that’s ok. What’s important right now is to be creative and channel the inner artist. Write, paint, dance, sing, draw, play music…whatever artistic outlet you are drawn to right now—let yourself get lost in that rather than lost in the emotional struggle of trying to predict and control it all.
I hope this horoscope was helpful!
Until tomorrow,
