Astrology for Friday, 29 May 2020:

Today the Moon ingresses into Virgo, forming a sextile with Mercury in Cancer and moving into mutual reception with one another. Virgo is the mutable earth sign, where we transform the materials that are available into their most efficient and useful forms. With Mercury ruling the Moon from Cancer, our approach to resource distribution and adaptation must be motivated by care for the basic needs of all. The Moon then makes a trine to Uranus in Taurus. Uranus empowers us to contribute to revolution. In a speech in 1980, Pat Parker declared, “The reality is that revolution is not a one step process: you fight—you win—it’s over. Long after the smoke of the last gun has faded away the struggle to build a society that is classless, that has no traces of sexism and racism in it, will still be going on … It’s not neat or pretty. It is a long dirty process … Another illusion that we suffer under in this country is that a single facet of the population can make revolution. Black people alone cannot make revolution in this country. Native American people alone cannot make revolution in this country. Chicanos alone cannot make revolution in this country. Asians alone cannot make revolution in this country. White people alone cannot make revolution in this country. Women alone cannot make revolution in this country. Gay people alone cannot make revolution in this country. And anyone who tries it will not be successful.” As the Moon makes a square to the Sun in Gemini—entering the waxing quarter phase of the lunation cycle—we enter into a crisis of action, a pivotal turning point at which we are challenged to put that which we think, believe, and say into deliberate, ongoing, material changes. No one person or group of people can create revolution alone. It will be a long, dirty process. And it must begin and persist—today, tomorrow, and every day.
