— Rachel Carson

This month, in some form, family must be a priority. That doesn’t automatically imply your family of origin or blood relatives. Family, the original idea, involves the tribe, the extended family and the community. In contemporary terms, we call this ‘family of choice’. And too often, that family of choice includes only people we think we agree with 100% on every issue. You’re being called on to open up your belief systems, and to openly embrace people whose views you don’t share. Recent conflicts or disagreements have only served to underscore the necessity for being more open-minded. It’s not merely about being so tolerant. Rather, this is about being intelligent. You have a lot to learn from people whose views you don’t support, including (if nothing else) gaining clues about human nature. Yet there’s also something about your nature and the way in which you tend to contain both sides of every coin, even if you only look at one side or the other. A coin implies value, and yet such is worthless unless you present all of it rather than just half of it. Strive for a perspective that transcends the nasty oppositions that the world imposes on thought (mostly to the benefit of advertisers, who thrive on conflict). The word integrity is based on a deeper concept, which is integration; in this case, of yourself.

If Your Birthday is May 27
(The Day of Driven Dedication) | Gemini Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
As frustrating as it is to go head to head with someone who seems illogical and holds power, remember that there’s always the possibility to take another approach. This moves beyond the mantra, “If they go low; we go high.” It’s more like, “If they set limits, I get creative.” You can still fulfill your legitimate responsibilities (have you figured out which ones those are yet?) and be you. If an authority figure does happen to let their ethics slip, you have the option to stay in your integrity rather than following that lead. That can feel combustive, but remember: there are worse things.
Written in the Planets
With the Moon moving into Cancer today, notice whether your more domestic, nesting tendencies come out — including and especially your emotional sensitivity. With Mars in Gemini moving into its opposition with Saturn in Sagittarius, the urge to confront those in authority (especially if that authority is ideological) increases. You might be feistier than usual or feel provoked to react, or could meet someone fitting that description. Your emotions, represented by the Moon, are important indicators of your reality, though they’re not the only ones. Even so, expressing them can be key in establishing where you stand — and, therefore, who you are.
