wild-horses-pixabay-public-domain-2239420_1920This Week’s General Astrology Forecast

The week starts off with the Moon in Capricorn Trine the Sun in Taurus Sextile Neptune in Pisces, Jupiter in Scorpio and conjunct to Pluto and Mars. Quite an auspicious celestial line-up.

The only thorn to this day is the Moon Square to Mercury in Aries. There may be a need for diplomacy in your communications.

Trust your intuition to guide you through any tricky situations to reap the most from this day!

This is a fairly Moon dominant week when your emotions can get the best of you at times. Great week for a personal retreat and taking long hot sea salt soaks with essential oils. See my recommendation below.

BEST MONEY DAYS this week are the 5th and 10th.

money-pixabay-public-domain-2696234_1920Best Money Days are days when the collective celestial events bring greater than usual opportunities. This may not translate into direct and immediate cash in your pocket, but potential for increase in your future prospects. Of course when these days are talking harmoniously with your personal stars the increase multiplies exponentially.

Astro Energy Report Highlights

astrology-chart-pixabay-public-domain-993127_1920All dates are at exact peak of intensity when energies begin to culminate and wane. You may actually feel the energies several hours or even days or weeks (in the case of eclipses) before the Celestial Peak, Crest of the Wave, so to speak. If you have personal planets or points within 1-2º orb of an aspect that’s occurring between planets then you will feel that celestial event more strongly.

On May 6th – Sun at 16º Taurus Sextiles Neptune in Pisces. The Moon in Capricorn has just gone Void of Course after Squaring Uranus in the late degrees of Aries. An opportunity to realize a dream may be available. However, you may need to make a sudden adjustment, or two and be patient before it bears fruit.

On May 7th – The Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius exact at 17º 27’. We’re one week away from the Taurus new moon. As we release the light old fears can surface. Misbegotten beliefs may hold sway and your thoughts can turn dark with foreboding. Shake it off by lighting a white candle and taking time to get centered in your Self.

On May 7th – Mercury at 21º Aries is Square to Pluto in Capricorn. You may have dark inner thoughts and feel powerless to make necessary changes. Release any dark imaginings to the light of your being for transformation.

On May 7th – Venus at 16º Gemini is Square to Neptune. There’s conflict between superficial fleeting thoughts and deeper more imaginative longings that may pull at you for expression.

Allow yourself to take it easy today and pamper yourself with a few of your favorite things. If you can just observe all that surfaces from your inner landscape now, just watch it, then it will soon go and you’ll be free of it.

On May 8th – Sun at 18º Taurus is Opposite Jupiter in Scorpio. The Sun, Jupiter and Moon are completing their T-Square today. The last couple of days may have felt extra intense as past inclinations and beliefs surfaced. Time to release the past and rise like the phoenix. A period of intense letting go as life forces you to move on.

On May 11th – Sun at 21º Taurus is Trine Pluto in Capricorn. The week ends with a new sense of empowerment brewing within you. Watch today for being overly aggressive in your communications as Mercury is coming to exactly Square Mars which perfects tomorrow.

VOID OF COURSE MOON PERIODS

moon-full-butterfly-black-night-public-domain-pixabay-2702381_1920The moon represents your emotional needs. Your emotions fluctuate with the moon as it moves through its 28-day cycle around the zodiac from new moon to full and back to new. Notice how the moon’s placement in the zodiac affects your mood and emotions. Essential oils can help stabilize your mind and emotions. Generally earthy scents have the most harmonizing and stabilizing effects on the emotions.

Void of Course Moon periods are great for taking it easy and going with the flow of events and completing projects. During Void of Course Moons your emotional body is going through a period of processing and integrating your recent experiences. You naturally clear out your emotions during these periods. Doing things that help with this natural process are especially helpful now, i.e. relaxation, yoga, movement, hot baths with sea salts and essential oils, focused breathing.

Void of Course Moon Phases are not good for starting new projects, or launching new ventures, or having meetings (if you want to achieve anything), or signing contracts and making agreements as it’s less likely anything will come of any agreement, or it will be sluggish and slow to start.

For your New and Full Moon Rituals make sure the Moon is not Void of Course and in aspect to another celestial body when doing your ritual for best results.

  1. On May 6th we have a 1 hour Void of Course Moon from 6:48am PT to :7:48am PT when the Capricorn Moon enters the sign of Aquarius.
  2. On May 8th we have a 40 Minute Void of Course Moon from 7:29pm PT to 8:11pm PT when the Aquarius Moon enters the sign of Pisces.
  3. On May 11th we have a 3 1/2+ hour Void of Course Moon from 2:02am PT to 5:40am PT when the Pisces Moon enters the sign of Aries.
