Week of 5.18.15

KAT'S OVERVIEW FOR MAY 18, 2015

With the manic, multitasking Moon sign of Gemini starting the week, we’ll feel pressured (panicked?) to accomplish as much as we can before Mercury begins its Retrograde Monday evening at 9:50pm. But you may feel like Sisyphus rolling a stone uphill, especially if you try to tackle new projects. The more we try to push ahead at this time, the more frustration we’ll encounter.

You see, when Mercury retrogrades, we’re supposed to shift mental gears. If we can downshift from logic and rationale to a more intuitive and instinctual mindset, the retrograde period will open us to new perspectives and a different way of seeing things.

The good news is we get some help acclimating to this new direction midweek when the Moon is in instinctual Cancer, a sign that has no trouble leaving logic behind. The Cancer Moon brings out our more intuitive side and encourages us to follow those spot-on gut instincts. Everything’s relative when the Moon is in this family-oriented sign, making it a great time to reconnect with your favorite folks? Kith and kin?  I’m calling mine right now.

The Moon is Void Friday until 5:41 pm. Would anyone notice if you slipped out and got an early start to the weekend?

Memorial Day Weekend Forecast – Oh, so sunny and bright!

The Moon enters Leo, the sign that perfected the art of relaxation, on Friday at 5:42pm, just in time for a much-needed three-day weekend. Make like a lazy lion, stretch out on your favorite rock or hammock and grab a cool drink and some warm rays. You deserve it!
