The week starts off with the Moon in Aries Square to Retrograde Pluto in Scorpio.
Mercury, in the late degrees of Aries, is conjunct to Uranus (on the threshold of entering the sign of Taurus), exact at the Taurus new moon on April 15th.
The pair are Square to Mars in Capricorn. This new beginning is on steroids for generating unprecedented change.

BEST MONEY DAYS this week are the 13th*, 14th*, 15th*, 17th & 18th.
Best Money Days are days when the collective celestial events bring greater than usual opportunities.

Astro Energy Report Highlights
On May 12th – Mercury Conjunct Uranus (both about to enter Taurus) and Square to Mars in Capricorn. These late degree positions omen a final breaking apart and dramatic change is upon you. Square to Mars brings conflict about taking action. You may need to make adjustments to the status quo position you find yourself in. What’s gone before must give way to a new order for how you connect and communicate within and without. The old ways just will no longer work. The best course of action may be to surrender any attachment to outcome and to allow life to take its natural course. Though you may need to muster tremendous courage to let go and trust life to have your back on what’s transpiring now.
On May 13th – Today Mercury exactly Conjuncts Uranus at 29º 53’ Aries, at 3:49am PT. 2 hours later Mercury enters the sign of Taurus. Explosive connections and communications may happen now. Revolutionary ideas may surface for you and the world at-large.
Mercury enters the earth sign of Taurus which helps to ground your ideas at this time. Mercury is moving fast and remains in Taurus only until the Sagittarius Full Moon on May 29th. Your thoughts turn to more practical matters during this time.
The Moon Conjuncts Uranus and Mercury as she moves from Aries into Taurus. The Moon carries the impulse of Uranus and Mercury as she reaches her dark cycle of birthing a New Moon.
On May 15th – We have the 24º 36’ Taurus New Moon, exact at 4:48am PT, The Taurus New Moon goes Void of Course (for 13 minutes) at 1:30pm, so you have several hours in which to perform your New Moon Ritual. This is an eventful day, make the most of it.
The Taurus New Moon Conjunct the Sun (as all new moons are) is Trine to Pluto and Mars. There’s a tremendous surge of power and desire for taking energetic action at this New Moon. Frustration could be rampant though the Taurus energy helps stabilize things somewhat. This kind of tension can result in accidents as a way to release the pressure. Mindfulness is called for, rather than reaction.
On May 16th – Mars at 0º Aquarius exactly Squares Uranus in Taurus. This is a potent new beginning fraught with conflict and the need for adjustments. Can be very intense period of time when new revolutionary forces are unleashed.
On May 15th – Uranus enters the sign of Taurus until 2026. Since Taurus rules personal finances and self valuations some new revolutionary forms of monetary wealth and exchange with others may unexpectedly occur.
On May 15th – Mars enters Aquarius which means the pair (Uranus and Mars) are exactly Square to one another over the next month. Mars Stations Retrograde on June 26th (day before Capricorn Full Moon) at 9º Aquarius and makes his way back to a second exact Square with Uranus on August 1st at 2º 33’ of Taurus and Aquarius. The pair will Square a final time on the 20th of September. Just as Venus is slowing down in Scorpio to Station Retrograde on the 5th of October until November 16th.
This Square between Uranus and Mars represents a very energetic breaking apart when conflict may surface that requires an adjustment. Uranus rules Aquarius, so this is a very vigorous and visionary time of change and taking revolutionary action.
2018 brings revolutionary change when what brings you pleasure and what you desire are up for a major review.
Nothing will be the same after this year of 2018!!
On May 18th – Mercury at 8º Taurus Trines Saturn in Capricorn. Easy communications and connections that flow easily into a form or structure. This is a great aspect for buying a new car, or launching a new product or project. A great aspect to see after the intensity of the Taurus New Moon earlier this week. Definitely a welcomed calming and grounding influence.
VOID OF COURSE MOON PERIODS
The 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 helps 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.
