ARIES NORTH NODE: At some point this month, the big action in Gemini sextiles your North Node and trines your South Node. These are gentle, positive aspects, sometimes so subtle that you can miss their opportunities. Open your eyes to supportive energies, and you’ll reap more benefits. With an Aries North Node, “support” usually means “new chances for you to forge your own path or take the lead.” With Venus Retrograde, pay attention to any relationship patterns that make you feel smothered, co-dependent, or “less than.” Resist a tendency to go along just to get along, or to want others to fix things for you. These patterns don’t work or satisfy, because your soul wants you to love and value yourself first and foremost. Use this month’s Gemini Air energy to fan the flames of inner confidence and your sense of adventure. Get clear on what you want. This month offers a Houdini-esque ability to untangle yourself from old ties that keep you small and frustrated. Embrace the magic and free yourself to enjoy the show!

TAURUS NORTH NODE: Venus rules Taurus, so Venus always affects Taurus North Node natives. This month, she’s in a more introverted, contemplative mood, which means she needs more of the finer things to keep her (and you) happy. Flowers, gardening, art, music and personal adornment delight Venus. Find ways to bring more of these into your life this month. Gemini energy moves much faster than the “slow and steady” mode that Taurus North Node natives need to honor. Don’t let anyone — especially yourself — rush you this month. You can use that fresh Gemini energy to loosen any dark, brooding moods, though. Reevaluate crash and burn, trauma/drama, and power play relationship patterns. How’s that workin’ out for you? By contrast, who or what feeds, grounds and supports you? Your soul wants stability this lifetime, especially in the realms of home, finance, self-worth, and your physical well-being. Just because you’ve always risen from the ashes like a phoenix doesn’t mean you should leap into the fire. Learn to value the little things in life. Set a goal, make a habit of taking small, tangible steps, and watch it materialize in solid, unshakeable ways.

CANCER NORTH NODE: Your North Node sign points to where your soul wants to go. For Cancer North Node natives that often means wearing more heart on your sleeve, nurturing others, nesting, cooking, and caring for the ones you love. These are forward movements for you, but this month asks you to look backwards. Where have you been, who have you been, and what have you done? Which skills, structures, and commitments can you reintegrate in a new way? All that Gemini energy this month forms a quincunx aspect to your South Node in Capricorn. Quincunx means 150 degrees apart. When a quincunx aspect hits your South Node, it can feel a bit like looking through your old yearbooks. Mercury retrograde in Cancer in mid-June through July 12  amplifies this reviewing energy. You’ve moved on from some people and situations, but sometimes it feels good to stroll down memory lane. No need to throw the baby out with the bath water. How can your good sense knowledge of finances, tradition, timing and leadership help you to find and enjoy the softer side of life? Explore these ideas in the privacy of a journal until you feel clear, then share heart to heart with someone you love.

LEO NORTH NODE: At some point this month, the big action in Gemini sextiles your North Node and trines your South Node. These are gentle, positive aspects, sometimes so subtle that you can miss their opportunities. Open your eyes to supportive energies, and you’ll reap more benefits. With a Leo North Node, look for chances to shine, play, create, relax, and follow your great big heart. Airy Gemini feeds Leo’s fire. Focus on communication this month, especially when you feel passionate. Be careful not to stay too much in your head, though. Make it a daily practice to tune into your heart. You’ll make better decisions if you favor love over logic. Analysis paralysis is a real thing, and it’s not your friend! If you feel overstimulated, indulge your inner lion with some time just lying around doing nothing. Naps are a beautiful thing. While dreaming or daydreaming, notice if any relationship themes and patterns come into your awareness. Who or what makes your heart smile? What does that tell you? Be honest with yourself. Lions follow their instincts, and so should you.

LIBRA NORTH NODE: This month’s Gemini energies trine your North Node and sextile your South Node. These are gentle, positive aspects, sometimes so subtle that you can miss their opportunities. Open your eyes to supportive energies, and you’ll reap more benefits. Since Venus rules Libra, the sign of relationships, you’ll feel her retrograde more than most, but remember, with that trine aspect, she’s smiling on you. Use any introspective time to brainstorm ways to bring more beauty, art, love, romance, harmony and teamwork into your life. Choose soft words over harsh ones, and embrace the duality of Gemini. Aim for both/and rather than either/or. Seek more win/win than win/lose. It’s a great month to experiment with adornment of any sort. Beautify your body, your home, your thoughts, and your love life. Be graceful and gracious. To keep the scales balanced, try to give a little more than you receive. Venus will make up the difference and then some. If all this talk of love, harmony and teamwork makes you uncomfortable, spend some time exploring any lone wolf dynamics. You don’t always need to go it alone. Gemini’s the sign of the twins, so this month offers extra energy for pairs and partnership. They don’t need to be romantic, but for Libra North Node natives, shared experiences are sweet and satisfying.

SCORPIO NORTH NODE: This month’s Gemini energies quincunx your Scorpio North Node. Quincunx means 150 degrees apart, and it kind of feels like a mosquito. A small thing that demands your attention: you can’t quite catch it, but you know when it bites. You’ll feel an extra buzz to integrate areas of life you’ve known you need to address but haven’t. Communication and relationships really matter this month. You need to find ways of expressing deep, unspoken, shadowy things in a manner that others can understand. The good news is that the quincunx aspect triggers creativity. What might normally elude you gets infused with very different energies — and these arise from a changeable air sign in the form of Solar, Lunar, Mercurial, Venusian and collective North Node energies. You’ll have many little chances this month for aha’s and unexpected breakthrough’s. Opening yourself to new possibilities puts you in better position to recognize such offers to realign with destiny. Sometimes an unexpected traveler pops on the scene with delightful recommendations you wouldn’t have even known to explore. The North Node provides an excellent GPS, but this month brings a high chance of wow encounters. If you find a friend on the road — even for a short while — pay attention!

CAPRICORN NORTH NODE: This month’s Gemini energies quincunx your Capricorn North Node sign, while beginning May 28, Mercury in Cancer will oppose it. A quincunx aspect insists on integrating things that seem to have nothing in common. It breeds creativity. In your case, focus on communication, relationships, love, and any tensions between home life and career, a safe cocoon and higher visibility. How can you use information, intuition, and paradox to feel more secure in a life path of leadership, authority and commitment? Review old patterns of communication and see where you get swamped by too much emotion or empathy. Do you know how to say no? It’s hard to say yes to the “right” if you can’t say no to the “wrong.” Journaling pulls you from riptides and quicksand. If you struggle with resistance while trying to walk your path, invoke some trickster energy to tease and delight you along the way. Gemini brings magic and novel ideas to lighten overwhelm and a heavy sense of duty. Yes, you can have fun while doing what you came here to do. Take advantage of adaptable energies this month. The dice are loaded in your favor, so roll with a few risks if they feel right — especially if those right feeling risks scare the pants off you.

AQUARIUS NORTH NODE: This month’s Gemini energies trine your North Node and sextile your South Node. These are gentle, positive aspects, sometimes so subtle that you can miss their opportunities. Open your eyes to supportive energies, and you’ll reap more benefits. Aquarius and Gemini have a special relationship, a meeting of the minds in Air. Venus retrograde in Gemini will call you to explore relationships and love, but more in the sense of “brotherly love” and “higher love” than romantic love. That might come, but you can best use the energies this month to find new ways of relating with others, perhaps through technology or a different perspective altogether. Yours is an unconventional and paradoxical North Node sign, and Gemini’s “twin” energies will amplify those qualities. You want to be the most authentic you — quirky, yet accommodating. A cooperative rebel with a cause. Things could feel a bit wonky over the next two months, thanks to Mercury’s transits, but innovative you can use this energy to your advantage. Think of yourself hanging upside down on the jungle gym in elementary school — smile and enjoy the altered view. When you hop down, you’ll do so from a place of greater freedom and wisdom. Allow any hot emotions to soften, then cool. Remember to breathe. Sitali pranayama would be extra good for you in June.
