Your horoscope for the week ahead: A new moon in Gemini will help illuminate where fresh opportunities lie

New moons can help illuminate where fresh opportunities lie, and with the renewing power of Monday's new moon in communicative Gemini, we're invited to shake off the heaviness of the spring 2022 eclipse season. This new moon will be ruled by Mercury, the governing planet of Gemini, which is currently in retrograde and set to form a challenging square with diligent Saturn. This aspect indicates that any projects you embark on under this lunation will require your full focus and attention. So if you're ready to pour your heart into your dreams, make sure that you can follow through. Simply manifesting won't be enough — you'll need to bring action to your words.

On Tuesday, practical Saturn in Aquarius goes on to form a semi-sextile with dreamy Neptune in Pisces, leaving us hyper-aware of our surroundings and of others. It's easier for us to be our most graceful selves under this transit, with both planets located in signs that they are dignified in, helping them perform well. If you've been feeling extra sensitive of late, use this as a chance to clear your mind and meditate. You may find yourself gravitating away from shallow or superficial experiences and toward more honest conversations. Seek out old friends and focus on how you can create positive change in your world. 

If Mercury in retrograde has been putting a kink in your plans, you'll be happy to hear that the communication and travel-ruling planet will station direct in reliable Taurus on Friday, helping us find our footing. But it's important to stay alert and continue to triple-check your emails and texts, as we're not entirely out of the woods yet, cosmically speaking. We can still experience delays and miscommunications during Mercury's retrograde shadow period — which ends on June 18 — so remember to stay flexible and be forgiving as you navigate this energy.

Prepare to receive karmic lessons starting on Saturday, when structure-ruling Saturn stations retrograde in forward-thinking Aquarius, continuing in that direction until Oct. 23. The beauty of this transit is that it can help us understand how to correct past mistakes and move forward. Saturn lets go of his restrictive power during his retrograde, giving us the freedom to grow and encouraging us to write our own rules. We're in charge of our futures as the ringed planet moves in reverse, so take this time to widen your understanding and start evolving into your best self.
