The Final New Moon Of Spring Is Here — & It'll Rock Your World
The last New Moon of spring is going to rock our worlds amazingly. For the first time in a while, we'll be able to flourish with the Moon's phases and begin anew. The possibilities to grow beyond our current range will be enormous and exciting. This lunation pushes us to think beyond ourselves and to give TLC to others who need our support. We are interconnected beings who require compassion and love. Isn't that special?
May 26th's New Moon in Gemini emphasizes self-expression, curiosity, and learning. At this moment in time, we can reflect upon the past to see where we're going while offering ourselves a fresh start. The positive side of this lunation is that it allows us to discover and reinvent ourselves as we progress into our most valid form of being. The duality of the New Moon in Gemini urges us to shed the facade we show to the public by letting them see our unique and unfiltered qualities. There is beauty in being raw and pure. Allowing people to get deep with us will be a fantastic experience and adventure.
Communication planet Mercury in Gemini, responsible Saturn in Aries, visionary Neptune in Aries, and transformative Pluto in Aquarius all meet up with the New Moon. This promises to be a lunation that can change our being — for the better. We need to find a way to stop overthinking in the present and be in the moment. The moment we start feeling as though we are in alignment with the flow and rhythm of the universe is when we connect to our true selves. There is no more hiding behind the version of ourselves that we want others to see. The mask we've been wearing is coming off. The energy and persona we embody will be acknowledged and loved.
Around the same time as the New Moon, Mercury in Gemini harmonizes with Neptune in Aries. This magical transition will push us to dream big and assert our visions in the world. Mercury and Neptune are giving us the strength to do so. The caveat is that we may not be clear about our intentions, so it's best to write them down ahead of time and think them through clearly. Then, we can easily assert our hopes and aspirations into the universe and allow them to take flight. Pretty soon, they'll come true. We can attain our desires as long as we believe in our goals and give them the energy to come true in the physical world.
The fixed star Hyadum II gives the overall sentiment a zest of fierceness. Hyadum II is said to embody the characteristics of the action planet Mars, "Great Awakener" Uranus, and inspirational Neptune. These energies can elevate our spirit and make us want to take a humanitarian stand. Regarding our personal lives, it'll be complicated to understand what we're fighting for and looking to bring in before gaining clarity — which we will find once the fog clears. The only foreseeable consequence of Hyadum II is that we might get a little power-hungry and selfish if we don't consider helping others along our journey.
We'll feel a sense of confidence resulting from the celestial vibe. Looking forward allows us to walk on the 'right' side of the street. As we'll soon notice, there is no better avenue to hang out on since every path is coming up roses. Even if we choose to explore the trails, they'll lead to the same road, guaranteeing a destined ending (we can thank Neptune and Pluto for this). Since we are guaranteed personal success, we should pay it forward by trying to make a difference in the lives of others. Once we comprehend these soulful passions, it'll be hard to keep quiet when speaking on behalf of others. After all, what good is having a voice if we don't intend to make some noise?
As we embrace the lunar vibes of the New Moon in Gemini, it's important to savor the day. Bask in the joy and glory that you may feel. Enjoy the rush of optimism and good emotions that are brought to our consciousness and the world at large.

Directive 8020 is straight up a playable version of The Thing
It's no secret that developer Supermassive Games is inspired by horror movies. The studio's brand of choose your own adventure horror games has always pulled ideas from classic slashers and adapted those ideas into original stories. With Directive 8020, the latest entry in its long running Dark Pictures anthology, that inspiration is clearer than ever. I played a quick slice of it at Summer Game Fest and I'm happy to report that Supermassive has basically just made John Carpenter's The Thing, but playable. That isn't apparent right away when my demo begins. I start in the middle of a dramatic conversation between two of its main characters who set up the sci-fi world and express some concerns with an operation to Mars. For the purposes of the demo, it's basically just a way for Supermassive to show off how strong its cinematic chops have gotten. The character models approach hyperrealism, and the acting doesn't feel far off from a Hollywood movie. After that quick introduction, things rapidly heat up. One of those characters winds up facing down his doppelganger, leading to a thrilling little fight scene. While those bits have some minimal interaction, I get to do a lot more when a doppelganger suddenly mutates into an enormous flesh monster pulled straight from a John Carpenter movie. I'm tossed into a straight-up stealth horror sequence where I need to get past a patrolling monster and sneak my way to a ladder. I can use a scanner to track its position through walls. Though it's a bit of a standard stealth hiding sequence, it's a remarkably tense one. I'm legitimately terrified of getting caught, likely because the monster that's chasing me is just so grotesque with its human face hanging from its hulking body. I almost get to the end undetected, but it spots me at the last moment. I make a run for the ladder and grab it with a second to spare. It's another true movie moment. Recommended Videos Even with all these tells, I don't fully pick up on how much Supermassive is making The Thing in space until the next cutscene. The ship's crew has a potential doppelganger contained in a cell and must decide if he's friend or foe. I'm given the choice to either shoot him dead or spare him. Naturally, I shoot the sucker dead. That's where I learn about the biggest way that Directive 8020 is evolving the Dark Pictures formula. As soon as I make my choice, a pop up appears on screen that asks me if I want to rewind. I'm no longer stuck with my bad decision. When it happens, a developer from the Supermassive team come over to me and explains exactly how that works. By opening a menu, players can now see exactly how a chapter's story tree will branch. It doesn't show what the choices are, but it shows how many permeations there are from the jump. In my case, there were three ways my encounter could have gone. It turned out that the guy I shot was legitimately a human (whoops), but certain story choices earlier on could lead to a mimic being there instead — hence three possible outcomes. And don't worry: If you're a purist, there will be a mode that disallows you from using rewinds, so you have to live with your bad choices. All of this seems like a smart evolution for a formula that Supermassive Games has nearly perfected at this point. The few choices I had to make felt impactful and I like having a little more classic horror gameplay in that bit of stealth. More than anything, I just like running away from gross body horror monsters that would make David Cronenberg proud. I'm ready to be grossed out. Directive 8020 launches on October 2 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Your weekly horoscope for the week ending 15th June predicts major moves ahead
The cosmos are making lots of moves this week and things are shaking up in a good way. Moments will be fun and some will be rough. Try to make the most of it by stepping away from heated situations when they begin. The ultimate flex is to not engage in drama and to focus on yourself. Protect your energy! The week begins with Mercury and Jupiter forming a conjunction in Gemini on 8th June, which gives us complete understanding and clarity. Mercury will enter Cancer later that same day, bringing emotion to the way we express ourselves. Jupiter swims into Cancer on 9th June, adding luck and goodness to our vibe. Mercury in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries on the 9th, making us think before we speak. Venus in Taurus shares a fraud aspect with Pluto retrograde in Aquarius on 9th June, creating intense power struggles in relationships. Mercury and Neptune in Aries meet up on 9th June, allowing us to embrace our fantasies and daydreams. The Full Moon in Sagittarius on 11th June will enable us to transcend and evolve. Mercury and Venus harmonise on the 11th, urging us to speak from the heart and lead with our best intentions. The Sun in Gemini and the Nodes of Destiny share a frenetic connection on June 13, offering us new opportunities to choose from. Sometimes, it pays off to be reflective and contemplative, especially when it comes to discussing personal matters that are weighing on you with a close friend. Being strategic in how you chat about your emotions is beneficial because it encourages you to be empathetic and direct in conversation without conflict. Once you take a stance, it's hard to get out of the train of thought, even if your assessments aren't correct and inaccurate. Before digging your heels in the mud and allowing yourself to get stuck in a mindset, consider understanding the other person's side and POV from the get-go. The best things in life are free, but that sentiment won't pay for this season's It Bag. Saving your pennies for an item you're lusting after isn't going to stop you from desiring new swag next month, so figure out what stylistically stands the test of time. Decide before swiping your card and your wallet will thank you. 'Tis the time for your glow-up. This week brings a massive shift in how you see yourself and how others view you. Don't worry, little crab, the cosmos are heightening your popularity. It just may be hard for you to accept your fandom at first, but you will embrace it soon. If you've been yearning for down time so take a few days for some R&R after work. Treat yourself to a mani-pedi with a foot massage to unwind and chill at home. You'll be grateful that you chose to decompress instead of hitting the bars when you realize how revitalising it is. Your social network is making strides, aligning you with people who can give you a boost in your career. Therefore, you need to beef up your LinkedIn account and presence to show them your skills and knowledge. They might be able to help you professionally in the future, so reach out! Although you may not do it intentionally, you're breadcrumbing your crush or S.O. The constant demands of your 9 to 5 are holding you back from being there for your boo. Don't let that stand between you both. Plan a special outing to make them feel the love you have in your heart. Obsessed with being at the top of your game? You don't have to climb the corporate ladder to prove your worth. When you are feeling down and blue about your current situation or frustrated, know that you are the CEO of being fabulous, which is all that really matters. The group chat is dwindling, and you're scrambling to get everyone back into gear for summer (which technically begins next week, but in your mind, it's already started). Nudge them delicately before laying on the guilt trip and theatrics. They'll respond if you present a plan for the next hangout. Even though you tend to hold onto grudges (no judgment!), there comes a time when you gotta release them. The week ahead asks you to unshackle yourself from such burdens to live and let live without continuously hardening your heart. Unchain yourself from the resentments holding you back from growing. Integrity is essential to you but not always vital for others. Some peeps may disappoint you this week when you witness their sketchy behavior in personal and professional settings. For you, it's a deal breaker, so you're moving onward and upward with those who are honest and loyal. Drop mic. People can be two-faced at times. While that sentiment is true, the caveat is that you are running your mouth and annoyed that others are doing it too. If your pals get caught with their hands in the cookie jar, deal with the problem and make amends for your part.
