Theme: Defensiveness

The Moon is opposite Mars bringing emotional reactivity to the surface. Mars doesn’t really have an off button so it’s about harnessing the horse and not letting it lead you astray. Pausing is a helpful restraint and exploration of what’s behind your reactions is also helpful. Venus is square Saturn so relationships ask for more comittment and restraint. The Moon has moved into Scorpio bringing emotional intensity and depth to the next few days.

It is easy to confuse our mental image of something with its reality.~ Thich Nhat Hahn

Theme: Taking opportunities

Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini usher in changes and challenges to the status quo, freedom and communication technologies. Any rigidity will be transformed in relation to both society, community and the way we connect and move about. Today, healing emotional wounds is on the table. Our point of woundedness allows us to have compassion for ourselves and others.

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not.~ Epicurus

Theme: Dynamic time

With Mercury at home in the sign of Gemini and the Sun and Uranus both there too, it’s a fluid and changing time. There are sudden turns and changes in directions. So choose the vehicle that allows you flexibility and quick turns! Mars in Taurus resists these sudden changes so there’s tension whenever you need to pivot today. The Moon has moved into Libra signalling a desire to achieve balance and win friends. The reminder is not to have certain kinds of friendships at all costs.

The past is not past, it is still passing, it flows silently into the next moment.~ Octavio Paz

Theme: It’s Electric!

The Sun is conjunct Uranus for one more day, giving us an electric bolt of energy. We continue to break out of our routines, and move towards our authentic self. The pace of action is fast. At the same time the Moon, our emotions, and the Sun, our sense of purpose, are at a right angle to each other, bringing with it some minor stress and small crises. Finally, Pluto is in a yod with Venus and the south node, which brings depth and insight into our interactions with others.

With greater power comes a greater electric bill. ~Anon.

Theme: Finding answers within

The Sun has joined Uranus and Mercury in Gemini increasing the importance of communication and flexibility in both actions and response. Watch this space is definitely a Gemini saying. Vesta is conjunct Neptune today signaling a stronger connection than usual with the inner self. You can ask yourself questions and receive more honest answers than usual. The Moon is in the warm dignified sign of Leo.

You can’t contain a person’s capability based on the box you’ve put them in. And you can’t judge how high they can soar based on the ceiling you’ve built for them.~ Elizabeth Acevedo

The Moon is Void of Course from 6.57am until Saturday May 23rd at 2.57am! Take this time to work with small tasks. Avoid signing contracts and starting big projects. Take time to reflect and rejuvenate.

Theme: Dynamic Play

Where did Monday and Tuesday go? And Now it’s Wednesday! The Sun continues to sit between Ceres, the asteroid of bounty and harvest, and Uranuswhich brings transformation and instability fo two more days when the Sun will be exactly conjunct Uranus. The Moon offers respite from instability with its placement in its home of Cancer. With Jupiter nearby the meaning of home is re-invigorated. Life can also feel a big and daunting so it’s important to continue forward movement without succumbing to feelings of being overwhelmed.

The Moon is Void in Cancer from 9.26am until 10.47pm ESDT. Avoid signing contracts at this time. Take time to reflect.

All of us are responding to the fact there is no system that can keep any promises. Everybody is fighting each other under the illusion that it is the “other people” that are causing the problem. We don’t realize that we are all in the same boat.~ Charles A. Reich

Theme: Subjectivity

Mercury has barely passed the Sun in the sky today. Their closeness indicates that we will have a tendency to be subjective, but at the same time the ability to concentrate will be strong. In a couple of days we will have more objectivity. At the same time the 3 outer most planets are all harmonizing, which enhances our ability to change at a deep level. The Moon is exalted for one more day in the sign of Taurus which makes us emotionally stable today.

People almost invariably arrive at their beliefs not on the basis of proof but on the basis of what they find attractive.~Blaise Pascal

The Moon is void of course today from 9:03 pm until 10:24 pm EDT. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme: Engagement

The Moon is about to join the an array of planets in Aries which is a cardinal, activity oriented sign. The Taurean Sun is wedged between Ceres and Mercury providing a steady steering hand that signals the importance of generosity and communication. The proximity of Mars to Chiron provides an opportunity to better understand how our feelings of woundedness prevents us from moving forward.

The gates of hell are open night and day;
Smooth the descent, and easy is the way:
But to return, and view the cheerful skies,
In this the task and mighty labor lies.~Virgil

The Moon is Void of Course until 8.03pm tonight. Major projects and signing contracts can wait until then.

Theme: Illusion and Disillusion

The Moon is Void of Course for much of the day (until 8.03pm ESDT USA). It can feel that we’re at a stand-still. Meaning, however is found in small actions, which can ultimately lead to larger results. Neptune is conjunct the asteroid Icarus which means we are more prone to self-deception. With the Moon in Pisces there is a place for great compassion as a guiding principle in the midst of illusion and disillusion.

Good is in the hands. Evil is also in the hands.~ Sumerian proverb
