Overview
Mercury in Taurus trines Pluto Rx in Capricorn (May 30th) and the Virgo North Node (June 1st). Technically, this is the final aspect of the Grand Earth Trine. Solid, simple facts and communication can keep you oriented in the most profitable direction. But the Taurus Moon will briefly activate the trine on June 2nd/3rd, extending its influence.
The trine fades as a Mutable Grand Cross forms, from May 31st to June 4th. Consisting of Sun/Venus in Gemini, Saturn Rx in Sagittarius, Jupiter in Virgo and Neptune in Pisces, this Cross can present multiple situations where hope for the future uneasily confronts doubts and limits. Jupiter and Neptune will inflate possibilities, while Saturn places restrictions around those possibilities. At the same time, Saturn's structure and control may be compromised by Neptune's confusing energy.
The June 4th Gemini New Moon (conjunct Venus) will trigger the Cross, with challenging new developments/information. Venus suggests something that you want, or something with promise. But you'll have to work through the layers of hope , confusion and restriction, while releasing something old in order to make room for something new. Neptune rules the Pisces South Node, and when Neptune confronts Saturn, a release or acceptance of surrender will be essential.
Note that Mercury (ruler of Gemini and the Virgo North Node) is a key player in the Grand Earth Trine, so there's a clue to keep you grounded. If in doubt, look at Mercury in Taurus (in your chart) and the North Node. There's something real that's been manifesting over the past month. Something you know, something you can count on, something that's simple (and possibly small). Start with that, and move forward. Use the basics presented by the Earth Trine, to manage the complexities of the Grand Cross.
Aries:
The Grand Earth Trine can help you capitalize on career or financial opportunities. Mercury in your sector of personal resources enables salary negotiations, or the finalization of employment agreements.

Excellent for targeting the lucrative opportunities, or zeroing in on what you must have.
The New Moon and Venus activate your communication sector, indicating favourable conversation/news or positive new contacts. The Grand Cross will add multiple layers to what you hear or learn - the incoming information may hit you with a rush of choices/details, but you’ll be dealing with the need to pick one, or give a definitive answer. Official documents, legal, education or travel issues may be part of the mix. You may not be sure what to believe, and mixed messages can undermine your focus. A significant chunk of what’s developing may still be unknown. The North Node in your sector of routine points to concrete facts, practical details and solutions that you can use immediately. Stick with what ’s proven, and consider that you may have to release something impractical, undermining or unavailable.
Taurus:

The North Node in your sector of self- expression encourages you to zero in on what supports your most authentic, personal goals - forget about what others are doing or implying.

The North Node in your domestic sector is a clue about which way you should turn: when in doubt, look at what makes you feel most safe and secure. Ultimately, you want to develop the full potential of what you’re coming home to every night. These influences are not only about making the intelligent choice, but the choice that holds the most value for you.

But at the same time, you’ll be dealing with uncertainties about what you have to offer, or the validity of your place in a public forum/group.

In some cases, you may have to accept that you cannot get closer to someone, or invest more than you already have.

The North Node in your opportunities sector encourages you to step back, look up from the fine print, and remind yourself of the bigger picture.
