Friday, May 8th - This morning brings some transits that could interfere with physical stamina or the ability to get work done. (I myself even got affected... sorry this is up so much later than normal today!) The Capricorn moon squares the North Node and sextiles Neptune this morning which can bring about daydreaming or lack of focus. There may also be distractions that keep you from staying the course as you go about your day. The North Node relates to our life purpose, and what drives us karmically, according to many esoteric and karmic-based astrologers. It is sometimes called the Dragon's Head. Consider the idea of 'purpose' today. What is your purpose? Is it different from what you want your purpose to be? If so, why? What is stopping you from believing your purpose could be something else, something you dream of? Tonight the Moon trines the Sun and then joins up with the Uranus/Pluto square by moving into conjunction with Pluto. Our emotions could travel to a broader place as we examine the changes that are happening globally and on a larger social spectrum. Big ideas could come through, and revolutionary thought could take hold in some, particularly in those with Capricorn or Aries heavy charts. Not everyone who is affected by the Uranus/Pluto square tonight will jump outside and begin protesting. Others may hold tight to tradition, or become triggered to control a situation in whatever way they can. There may be debates or political arguments as the day continues. Luckily the Moon and Sun are in trine, which helps keep words from wounding permanently. The Uranus/Pluto square is quite wide now so this will allow more room for understanding, also.
Saturday, May 9th - The Capricorn moon is quite busy again today. This morning we will see it move into sextile with Chiron, which can bring up opportunities for overcoming our ideas around perfectionism. If you are someone who struggles with needing things to be precise or expecting a certain outcome each time you act, you may have to confront this today. Mercury does nothing to help us escape from this, as it joins the North Node in trine and Neptune in square. Rather than distracting yourself or forcing a particular outcome, become aware. Think of what is happening in that moment. Why do you believe this is the only outcome that will make you happy? I've shared this advice before, but push yourself to imagine an even better result. If you cling tightly to one possibility, you may miss out on having a better time and learning more than you could have hoped. Sometimes failing at a particular thing can bring about a new idea that leads you into a great direction. Conversation and communication will not feel 'right' today unless you are dealing with your own personal issues too. Others may not get where you're coming from. Face yourself with awareness first before worrying about anyone else. The moon moves void of course at 4:36pm EST today, where it will stay until 7:23pm, when it moves into Aquarius. The evening brings with it the energy needed to accomplish activities, in the form of Moon trine Mars and Moon sextile Saturn. Saturn brings focus and Mars brings drive, and together these planets help us utilize our physical energy to get things done.
Sunday, May 10th - Venus and Saturn are inconjunct early this morning at 3:01am. Inconjunctions, or quincunxes as they are sometimes called, create an uneasy feeling between two planets. Their energies don't seem to quite understand one another. They don't fight per se, but they can't really see eye to eye either. Venus wants to create and join up with others in partnership, and Saturn wants to apply laser focus to situations and responsibly tackle projects and goals. This aspect could make it difficult to work with others today, especially in creative, romantic or family scenarios. Luckily there is a good window for this, which comes from about 11am to 3pm. There is a beautiful Grand Trine happening during this time that involves Mercury, the Moon and the North Node. This is a real cosmic air trine that assists with communication, kinship among groups of people, and unifying emotions. If you are seeing family or friends today, try to make use of this four hour span if you plan on doing much conversing or collaborating. Tonight the Moon moves into opposition with Jupiter. There could be emotional drive to make changes in your community, either your existing one or in a new place. Maybe you wish to move, or travel, or transform the place you're living now. This feeling is a bit claustrophobic because Jupiter wants to move quickly and do something NOW, but the energy doesn't allow. Try to shift your focus toward planning, rather than taking direct action. Leo and Aquarius will get caught in this opposition and may feel it the most.
Monday, May 11th - The Aquarian moon moves into sextile with Uranus and squares the Sun this morning. Aquarius is ruled by the planet Uranus, and so this moon is right at home with the sextile. Ideas flow and electric mental energy guides you through the early part of the day. There may be a bit of trouble actually making things happen in the real world, but ideas are solid and can form foundations over the course of the week. The Sun and Chiron meet in sextile this afternoon at 1:43pm EST. The combination of these events will begin laying the necessary groundwork for change. The ideas you formulate today will allow you the opportunity to look inside at any blockages that are preventing you from making these concepts reality. Chiron has been heavy-handed over the past few weeks, and together with Saturn and Pluto has been bringing us face to face with issues from the past that are continuing to effect us and prevent us from evolving. See which house of yours Chiron is currently transiting through and if it is forming any aspects to your natal planets (for help with this, feel free to email me or contact me via facebook). You will be able to see which area of your life this is most impacting, and better understand how to deal with any discomfort during this time. Tonight the Moon and Mars square, which can make some people grumpy and hard to deal with (mostly Aquarius and Taurus today). The moon moves void of course at 10:41pm EST, where it will only stay for thirteen minutes. It will then move into Pisces. At around the exact same moment, Mars will enter the sign of Gemini. This will have an interesting effect and will begin the process of shifting our focus from ideas and planning to reaching out and networking. Over the next few weeks we will be gathering information and finding connections with which to make our dreams reality.
Tuesday, May 12th - Today's aspects belong to the moon. The Pisces moon begins the day by squaring Saturn and moving into trine with Venus. This is a dreamy sort of day, very alive with water energy which brings creativity, heightened intuition and romantic sensitivity. Having Mars in Gemini now will allow a little more reach into the outer world. Otherwise it could be very easy to get lost in your head today. Getting anything too concrete done might be a challenge, so it is better to focus on learning, study and taking breaks for socializing. The moon continues its watery tour tonight as it conjuncts Neptune and squares Mercury. Pisces' ruling planet is Neptune, and so having the Pisces moon in conjunction with Neptune will enhance all energy of the zodiacal fish late this afternoon. If you have any planets in Pisces they will be highlighted as we move into the evening. You may find yourself in a fantasy world and feel like you are at a distance from others. This is illusionary; many others are going through the same thing right now and all it takes for it to stop is to reach out to someone else. It's a good evening for spending time with a loved one, romantic or otherwise.
Wednesday, May 13th - The moon sextiles the sun and Pluto this morning, which will bring about pleasant feelings, particularly for those with Pisces and Taurus heavy charts. No matter what your chart is, you are likely to feel as though your emotions are matching up with outer events. There are solid reasons behind your feelings, in other words. Leadership is highlighted today, along with benevolent power. Step into your power and don't be afraid to use your voice. Be gentle and courteous of others and look out for the best interest of everyone involved. As the Pisces moon shifts into conjunction with Chiron at around 9am EST, some of the Chiron-focused work we've been doing over the past few weeks will click into place. If you've been aware and have been working to break out of old habits and cycles you will receive a reprieve. Otherwise you may be gently guided to continue your work. If any frustrations arise today, do your best to take a deep breath and face them head on. Don't be afraid of negative feelings. Understand them and work with them. If you ignore them or mask them in some way, they will come back and will present in your life as blockages. Consider them a gift, as they will bring you closer to awareness. The moon moves void of course at 12:56pm EST, where it will stay until early tomorrow morning.
Thursday, May 14th - The moon enters Aries today at 1:14am EST. Much of the daily astrology forecast work I do is centered around the moon, and this is because it is the fastest moving luminary in our sky and so it forms aspects and changes signs the quickest. It is also the closest planetary body to the earth, and often affects us more than we realize. I write this because as the moon enters Aries today, it begins a new 28 day astrological cycle. It may be useful to check on which sign the moon is in and how it impacts you. Do you notice that when the moon is in Leo you are more social? How do you feel when the moon enters Capricorn? Or are you less affected by the sign of the moon and more by its phase? Consider these things over the next few 28-day astrological moon cycles. Today the Aries moon sextiles Mars and trines Saturn, which is a dynamic combination for physical energy and getting things done. Boundless enthusiasm could arise, and you could easily get a number of things checked off your to-do list. This is a better day to work on your own, since the moon is also squaring Venus and opposing the North Node this afternoon and evening. Partnership and connection is secondary today to pioneering vision and independent study. Later this evening, around 10pm EST it may be easier to reach out to others as the moon sextiles Mercury. This isn't to say you should avoid others completely today, just that working with them might not be ideal. This will especially be true for fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius).
