SATURDAY, 5/21/2022

The moon squares Uranus this morning, so excitement and adventure are the themes for today. You will find optimism in any pursuits, also assisted by a moon-Venus sextile.

Dreams and love will seem tangible, and your creativity will be especially active. Trying something new will appeal to you and is highly advised. You could spend time with some unlikely characters.

With Mercury conjuncting the Sun in brilliant Gemini, the volume of ideas we receive may be overwhelming. Jot down as many as you can if not all of them so you can revisit them at your own pace.

You’re also going to be quite lucky regarding information. You might learn something by chance from a stranger that turns out to be useful to you, or you might just happen upon some intriguing news while scrolling through social media. You’ll be sharper than normal and ready to make some spontaneous choices to accompany the zany adventures that await you on this fortunate day.

This behavior might concern people who know you well, but just explain that you’re attempting to lower your inhibitions and leave your comfort zone. Trying new things isn’t bad, especially if you can channel this mood into breaking some bad habits while you’re at it! Your intuition won’t take you down a wrong path today, so follow your instincts.

DAILY ORACLE

Dolphin Spirit, like her earthly manifestation, is a reminder of duality. As the dolphin is both mammal and sea creature, so too is Dolphin Spirit both “this” and “that.” Two truths co-exist: the story you tell and another as well. The duality of life is present when we are suffering, for there is a blessing, too, in the helpers that appear.

Within clouds are silver linings; when we later reflect on what happened, we can see that a situation was both this and that and a choice led to both joy and sorrow. No relationship is either all good or all bad, and people have qualities of both light and shadow.

Focus on the positive, for light exists alongside the darkness. Dolphin Spirit calls for you to come up from below and enjoy a weightless moment in the sun as you dive in and out of this and then that, accepting and even enjoying the duality of life. Why not join Dolphin Spirit in acknowledging and affirming the blessings present in this moment? In all areas of your life, there are aspects of both “this” and “that.” Today you can celebrate this fact and recognize the complexity and the beauty of the fabric of the universe.

You are at a place right now where your past self is still present as you move toward the new self you are becoming. Aspects of both selves are present, so even if you want to say good-bye to what was, you are required to find solace in this “between time.”

Today is not a day to choose one over another either, but rather to accept things as they are without judgment or resistance. Even in matters of the heart, duality is present. Your next action will be obvious when you drop your bias and see things as a whole.
