Friday, May 27th - This is a big week, as we gear up to the giant planetary events occurring next Friday the 3rd. Over the past two weeks, we have been getting smacked in the face with the same type of events repeatedly. The details may differ, but the general energy is the same. It is important to not grow too frustrated or overwhelmed. These events will stop once we wake up to the pattern and dismantle it by stepping out of our old behavior.
Today the moon sextiles Saturn and squares Mercury this morning and afternoon. It is a good day for solo work and for tackling responsibilities and duties. Working with others may be more challenging, especially if the work requires compromise and lots of conversation.
Mars retrogrades back into Scorpio tonight at 9:31pm EST. This Mars retrograde is bringing up anger issues for a lot of individuals, and you may notice that the way you express annoyances is a bit more exaggerated than normal. During the Mars retrograde period (lasting through the end of June), we may be reminded of issues from the past that created anger or frustration but were never dealt with or seen through to their natural ends. This is not to say that we should go back to old relationships or jobs or anything like that, just that we should come to terms with the events that transpired and do what we can to move on.
The other effect of Mars retrograde is lowered energy. It could be difficult to find the physical stamina to complete certain tasks, or else energy may come in sporadic bursts. Get enough rest, drink water and eat healthily to find balance.
Saturday, May 28th - The Aquarius moon sextiles Uranus this morning, bringing in lots of electric mental activity. Ideas sharpen and hone. The energy is quite like a mad scientist, with ideas pouring in manically that seem out of left field but are actually inspired.
The other transit of the day comes as the moon squares Mars this afternoon at 4pm EST. This will heighten any Mars retrograde feelings that have been building over the past few weeks. Annoyance or aggravation could come up, or we may feel as though we don't have the physical energy to complete certain tasks. Take a step back from the situation and try to gain perspective.
The moon is void of course for less than an hour today, from 4:19pm EST until 5:06pm EST as it enters Pisces. The evening is more gentle, and allows for compassion and empathy to be shared freely. Creative collaborations receive a necessary boost tonight.
Sunday, May 29th - The Pisces moon is very active today, with a number of lunar transits occurring. On days when the moon forms a lot of aspects we can feel pulled in many different directions. Since the moon is in Pisces today, you may feel a bit dreamy and introspective. It could be challenging to tackle realistic work without getting distracted.
This morning, the moon squares Venus and the Sun. Escapism is likely today. It may be easier to lose yourself in activity, or to dream about being somewhere else. Reality could feel too harsh. This is okay. Believe in the power of your dreams and mind's visualization. This is where all reality begins, in the mind of someone who has the potential to make it real.
This afternoon, the moon conjuncts Neptune, opposes Jupiter and squares Saturn. Again, this is all powerful fantasizing energy. It's an excellent time to create art, write stories, or work on anything that stimulates creativity. Fantastical, abstract ideas come rolling in.
Tonight, the moon sextiles Mercury and Pluto. It is a good time to have important conversations with those close to you. Focus and intention are clear, and the Pisces influence brings a gentler touch to interactions.
Monday, May 30th - This morning, the moon opposes the North Node and conjuncts Chiron. It's an excellent time to schedule some kind of healing for yourself, whether it be a massage, energy work session, or simply setting aside some time to meditate or take a quiet walk in nature. This is a perfect week to get in touch with inner stillness and wisdom, as Friday is going to be one of the biggest astrological days this year.
The moon trines Mars tonight before moving void of course at 7:10pm EST. Energy is on the upswing tonight. Excitement and anticipation builds. It's a good evening to do something new. The void period lasts just until 9:09pm EST as the moon enters Aries.
Tonight, Mercury moves forward into a trine with Pluto. This transit just happened a couple weeks ago, but now that the retrograde is over we are going through it again. This is an important time for using your leadership abilities and being clear with others about your wants and needs. You may be experiencing repeated difficulties with others not hearing you or ignoring your wishes. Now is a good time to act, by making things more obvious or by moving to a better situation. Either way, action is required.
Tuesday, May 31st - The Aries moon powers forward to sextile Venus and the Sun in the earlier half of the day. There is a general sense of optimism today, and it is easy to work towards goals, especially hand in hand with others. Teamwork and friendship are highlighted, and those with mutual purpose are brought together.
Later in the day, a moon/Saturn trine bring our attention to discipline and our own personal duties. The trine helps these things be accepted wholly, and allows us to understand what services of ours are to aid the greater good, and those which limit us and those around us.
Wednesday, June 1st - This morning, the moon squares Pluto shortly before Mercury shifts into trine with the North Node for the second time in the last month. We are experiencing the Mercury retrograde shadow zone again, which will bring up issues with communication and clarity of thought and vision. When things seem to fall apart, how do you react? This series of transits is useful in bringing our attention to how we can better understand events which make us feel we are spinning out of control. Insight is gained during this time, provided we slow down to listen to possibilities rather than inserting our personal opinions into the situation.
The moon conjuncts Uranus and then moves void of course at 11:42am EST. Emotions shift rapidly today. Stay grounded and keep from acting impulsively, if possible.
A Sun/Neptune square tonight provides a diminishing effect on some. Goals may seem far away or out of reach, and the connection to spirituality and nature may seem it is slipping away. The primary effect is a feeling of being unable to access the imagination. The interesting thing here is that the imagination is actually working overtime, and is part of the reason this fear is emerging. This is a collective thing that many people will be experiencing this week, and the best way to remove negative patterns in self and others is to offer reassurance to those around you. Encourage them that their own goals and dreams are valid, and in turn, you will receive confidence in your own.
The moon exits its void at 10:46pm EST as it enters Taurus.
Thursday, June 2nd - This is an excellent day for being outdoors, and for beautifying both the natural environment (i.e. gardening, landscaping, etc) or the created environment (painting the house, building something new, purchasing a lovely new garment). Inspiration comes suddenly and should be acted upon. Creativity allows us to expand the mediums we usually utilize in our work. Painters could suddenly be writing a song, and photographers may feel drawn to build a bookcase. It is important to not box yourself into one specific type of focus if you are inspired to do something else.
The moon sextiles Neptune and trines Jupiter today. Learning new things should be a priority today. Expanding the mind and consciousness can be done in the smallest of ways, by reading a new book, or having a conversation with someone whose life experience has been different from yours. There are new things to discover in the trees, in the night sky, and in the pattern of traffic in a city. Allow yourself permission to look at something familiar in a new way. There is much to discover.
