Friday, May 20th - This morning, the Scorpio moon trines Neptune, sextiles Jupiter and opposes Mercury. Spiritual connections and a link to nature emerge today. Many will find themselves on solitary journeys, as the Mercury opposition makes it a little challenging to talk about ideas or cooperate with others. Exploring will be done solo or in the company of few. The imagination is heightened thanks to the influence of Neptune and Jupiter, who work together to provide fantastical imagery and ideas on a large scale.
The Sun enters Gemini today at 10:36am EST. The mind is stimulated and curiosity comes on for most of us. This is an ideal month for learning, gathering information and staying busy as we work toward goals of all sorts.
This afternoon, the moon sextiles Pluto and the North Node. Stay open-minded tonight. Many connections with others are shifting and changing this month. Let yourself emerge into the unknown.
Saturday, May 21st - We are building up to the full moon tonight, and many emotions will be heightened. The day will begin in a very private, guarded place and gradually open up its energy. You may feel a bit withdrawn this morning, but it is a good idea to begin shifting to let others in by the evening, even if it feels a bit uncomfortable at first. Collaboration is encouraged, as is playfulness and letting the wind carry you somewhere new.
The moon trines Chiron and opposes Venus this morning. Treat the early part of the day as though you are in a cocoon. Recharge and don't give any of your energy away. Raise your vibration by eating healthily, getting enough rest and doing something that brings you joy and power. The full moon tonight will be about sharing energy with others, and so it is vital that you come prepared.
The moon is void from 7:40am until 2:48pm EST, when it enters Sagittarius. The Full Moon (Gemini Sun opposition Sagittarius moon) occurs at 5:16pm EST right as the moon moves into conjunction with Mars. This interplay of the moon, Sun and Mars provides us with a burst of inertia to tackle a goal or project rather spontaneously. This is whimsical energy and will bring along surprising feelings, changes and desires. It is vital to act on these whims, as Mars needs us to put forth a little effort to receive any reward. Draw others to you with similar ideas and passions. Celebrate today, and take on any projects with excitement. Don't lower yourself to do anything that doesn't bring you great happiness in the long run.
Sunday, May 22nd - The Sun directly opposes Mars this morning at 7:16am EST. There is a pseudo-lunar hangover happening today that could arise in depleted energy or a need to reassess previous belief systems or expectations. Last night's full moon brought in a lot of power and change, and even positive shifts will require some consideration. Ease into the day and meditate or analyze any internal or external alterations.
Mercury moves direct this morning at 9:16am EST, but we're not quite off the hook yet. The shadow period will take us through to June 7th, although the intensity will certainly lessen with each passing day. Communication will get easier, and misunderstandings should begin to be dealt with. Technological issues will move toward resolution. The main thing to remember is that from now until June 7th, we are moving through the same series of transits we just dealt with in alternating order. How will you handle these repeat situations? Having gone through similar feelings and energy this past month, we have an advantage. Instead of reacting the way you once would have, consider alternate possibilities. Create change rather than defaulting to an old paradigm.
The moon squares Neptune, conjuncts Saturn and squares Jupiter this evening. Get down to business and begin putting faraway goals to paper. This is the time to crunch numbers and come up with a solid plan. Progress is made on various projects tonight, should you take the time to grant them reality.
Monday, May 23rd - This morning, the moon squares the North Node and trines Uranus before moving void of course at 11:37am EST, where it will stay until tomorrow morning. Mental energy is beginning to flow with more ease than it has all month. The Sun is now in Gemini, a sign that is ruled by Mercury, and Mercury has stationed direct now. This Mercurial energy, coupled with the aid of electric Uranus, gives us a jolt of intellectual lightning. Ideas flash forward into overdrive. Write them down or share with a friend. Work together with others to brainstorm.
The moon squares Chiron this afternoon, suggesting that it may be hard to relax or take necessary time to rest. The instinct will be to push forward as excitement fills the air. Keep in mind that you will not miss out completely if you need the night off. Opportunities are not knocking once this week, and will come around again should you feel too tired to indulge tonight.
Tuesday, May 24th - The moon exits its void at 1:34am EST and enters Capricorn. Business plans begin to come together, and contracts and new career paths become more solid and tangible.
Venus enters Gemini today at 5:44am EST. The next few weeks will see our networking abilities stretched further and further. You may find yourself pulled in different directions as new opportunities open up. Mental connections will be key. Make sure you are on the same page with all those you work with. Difference of opinion is fine, but if you aren't working toward the same goal then things will stall out and falter when they could be thriving. Romantic relationships and close partnerships take on a fun air. There is a sense of adventure and curiosity present. Intense commitment may feel overwhelming, so take things one day at a time and be honest and upfront with those close to you. Gemini, Libra and Aquarius (and those with their natal Venus in one of those signs) receive a romance boost this month.
Venus and Mars are in direct opposition today, which we've been feeling for the past several days as this transit builds. Aggression and frustration in partnerships is rising to the surface. If you have been trying to stifle or hide your feelings, it will be near impossible today and tomorrow. It is advisable to sit down and talk them out rather than waiting for them to come out in bursts of anger.
The moon sextiles Neptune tonight, increasing dream activity and connection to the creative unconscious.
Wednesday, May 25th - The day begins with a Grand Trine in the element of Earth. This is connecting the moon, Mercury and Jupiter in the signs of Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo, respectively. Now is the time to act on career and job shifts. We have a stabilizing influence under this grand trine, and it provides a cushion for us to move into the reality we wish to experience. Any struggles with money and career are shifting, but it is up to us to act. We have to be direct and clear about what we want rather than waiting around for it to show up. Trust is key. Trust yourself and your vision and know without a doubt that you can bring it to fruition.
The moon trines Mercury, conjuncts Pluto and trines the North Node this morning. Focus is honed and leadership abilities are heightened. This is an ideal day for manifesting goals on the physical level and for bringing in actual change that can be seen and measured.
Tonight, the moon squares Uranus before moving void of course at 9:11pm EST. It may be challenging to think in abstractions. Concrete planning comes easier tonight, particularly when you're working with groups. At home, sticking to a familiar routine will bring better results than shaking it up too much, at least this evening.
Thursday, May 26th - Jupiter and Saturn are in direct square again at 8:26am EST. This transit occurred back in March, and now that Jupiter is out of retrograde we are experiencing it again. The dichotomy of these two planets as they face off can definitely be felt, even by those who aren't typically sensitive to planetary transits. Jupiter is expansive and unifying while Saturn is restrictive and polarizing. We are in a tug of war now between what we hope is possible and what we feel is realistic. The important thing to remember here is that all of this hinges on our beliefs. These planets are not actually keeping us from accomplishing things, but they are bringing to mind all the reasons why we think we can't go for our goals. The oscillation between blind faith and a total shut-down of possibilities will make many act erratically. One day you may feel compelled to quit your job without warning, and the next you may decide you need to make a ten-year plan for that same job. This transit instructs us to begin deprogramming ourselves from the harmful beliefs we've piled up over our lifetimes. These beliefs are handed down to us from family, friends, and society as a whole. None of them are inherently true, but the more we live them without question, the more power they have over us. Jupiter and Saturn remind us to live in a more balanced way. Consider all possibilities and come face to face with your own truth before acting.
The moon emerges from its void at 10:27am EST and enters Aquarius. We are able to think over new concepts and come up with ideas on a larger scale today.
The moon sextiles Mars, trines Venus and the Sun over the course of the day. Energy is heightened and partnerships provide support. Lean on those around you and enjoy yourself as you move throughout the day and evening.
