This lunation chart was drawn up at the exact moment of the Sun / Moon conjunction on May 22, 2020, it gives the “general” astral trends for the coming month mainly based on the Aspects and Signs of the zodiac.
This study must be nuanced by bringing it closer to your birth chart, and to your Transits and Progressions for Forecasts.
Think, to help you, to read my interpretation article of the New moon and Full moon in houses.
Major social brakes
Obviously, this lunar month tends to be deeply affected by what has occured since the last Full Moon, the successive retrogrades of Saturn, Jupiter, as well as the more remarkable and important retrograde of Venus into Gemini, all of which this new moon tends to highlight in a very direct and powerful way.
This period is particularly marked by the confusion around the attachments that can arise as a result of station retrograde Venus being in square to Neptune, you can especially read my article detailing these influences.
We can clearly observe that mental forces tend to oppose emotional forces to a great extent at the beginning of this lunar month, it’s indeed a recurring pattern that strains the sky in that moment, between what we can “feel” on the one hand, and what we consider more coherent, logical and rational on the other !
In other words, nothing is clear-cut during this period, and some “floating” can be very important at different levels, personal, social, emotional, it’s also for this reason that it will also be necessary to take care of as many things as possible beforehand, especially in april, if one wants to have a freer mind and be less influenced by one’s emotions or by different constraints / delays.
And clearly the period finds little energies as a “back-up engine”, between Uranus in fall into Taurus in the long term, and in the medium term the planet Mars which has just entered Pisces in Neptunian Water, it can be more complicated to unleash “forces of action”, “forces of change”, which may be particularly difficult to deal with if you have a natal chart strongly shaped by elemental energies of Fire or Cardinal forces.
A good complement to these forces could be found, for example, in “retreat” phases, the need to withdraw, to take stock, to fall back on introspection, where the receptive and intuitive aspect will be valued more than the dynamic and effective aspect, moreover, people influenced by aquatic forces could be even more sensitive over this period (along with all the potential excesses and drifts).
At the very end of May and especially at the beginning of June, the Venus / March square will be salient, and is likely to be directly expressed in terms of confrontation and crisis, especially affective ones (see article on the Venus retrograde in Gemini).
The Full Moon of June 5 2020 will sensitiez yet all this Mutable Cross and this same Venus / Mars quadrature, it may come to shed light on certain things, force different parts of objectivity, it really represents a form of “peak of influence” within the Venusian retrograde, where these planetary energies will reach a maximum…
Be careful to make sure that the second half of the lunation is not monopolized and even parasitized by forces of emotional receptivity, parts of spleen, nostalgia, melancholy, anxiety, may be more significant, and in some cases risk “putting a veil” on the genuine personal wills, activating forces of sacrifice by renouncing part of what we want and really feel, these are in any case interpretation paths that may mark the end of this lunar period.
