With the New Moon in Gemini, we can finally find balance in this upheaval and unrest in the world with intentional articulation of our needs. We're working collectively on trying to not make mountains out of molehills and get out of our own way to go after what we desire. With the personal planets of Mars in Aries and Venus in Taurus within their signs of dignity, there's a great opportunity to enact upon desires to build lasting foundations for what we really want. We grapple with a scarcity mindset and try to be realistic as we move forward once Mercury goes direct on June 3rd. On Episode 8 of Absurdist Astrology, Tessa helps us navigate through it all.
