Stellar Insights: May 29 - June 4
The Week in Quotes
Here are some insights about the opportunities and challenges that this week’s astrology may offer. May they help you make the most of this moment. Remember that if you would ever like to see how the planetary movements are inspiring you, based upon your personal astrology chart, we can explore that in a Stellar Guidance Session.
Gemini is a sign associated with communication, the gathering and sharing of information and insights. As such, when the Sun is in Gemini—as it has been since May 21 and will be through June 21—we may find that we are more readily paying attention to the treasures that language can gift us. Connecting to words, whether ours or others, may not only yield more fascination than usual but more reward, including through it being a way to activate understanding, action, and healing.
I thought to change up my approach to language this week (notably inspired by the upcoming Mercury/Uranus Conjunction that invites us to communicate in an untraditional way). Instead of sharing my prose, I decided to present you with numerous quotes that I feel capture contours of the essence of each of the three major celestial alignments happening this week.
My hope is that it offers you a textured understanding of the opportunities and challenges that may be present and a touchstone of inspiration from the words of some esteemed artists, thinkers, and luminaries. Remember, that as always, while I note the days of the exact astrological connections, that we feel the invitations that they invoke days before and after.
Have a inspiring week!
