This Week’s sky - 05/05/2024
Steady as she goes.
May 5th through May 12th
You can enhance your understanding by applying the Houses these signs and Planets are falling into in your Natal Chart. I am happy to help you with figuring that out, at no cost to you— just shoot me an email!!
Jupiter Sextile Neptune: We will tap more deeply into our intuitive sense, mystical practices, spiritual experiences, and artistic exploration. The imagination will imbue you with optimism. We become less grounded, we could become distracted.
New Moon in Taurus: This New Moon comes with a strong channel for abundance with Venus and Jupiter along in the same sign of Taurus. The body and spirit. The instincts, emotions, and conscious awareness. The facets renew and set an intention for the Taurus house, which will require practical and simple security. You will incorporate the technological advancement of the Jupiter-Uranus conjunct with more grace into the operation of this House. Saturn in Pisces continues to hold us to a standard of purity.
Sun Conjunct Uranus: The confidence, expressions, and mental vision become more erratic, unpredictable, broken down, or more authentic. What occurs is a greater awareness to the social equanimity that tests to the stability of mental fortitude and dignity. We are more open to progressive or reinventing standards, processing, etc. There is then push back, and this will exasperate rebellious behaviors— for example University protests.
Venus Sextile Saturn: This aspect will grow in intensity through next week until it’s peak. Saturn applies a heavy task of Piscean purity on Venus in Taurus. This is like the pressure to buy ethical goods. To be good to the body. To be good with others. To elevate the self. However, this can become the opposite, where we become vulnerable to the consequence of impurities. Either way we are encouraged to manifest an idealized form of creating inner harmony.
Neptune Prepares to Leave Pisces: Retrograding breakdown, meanings, paradigm shift, late degree significance. Shift dates.
Neptune most recently first entered Pisces on April 4th, 2011; final ingress February 3rd, 2012. Neptune will first enter Aries March 30, 2025 and make its final ingress January 26, 2026. Neptune reaching the late degrees of Pisces encourages the final critical shifts relevant to the Era that is— Neptune in Pisces. During this period we dissolved boundaries around the Piscean process, which is already attuned to vulnerability. We felt more deeply, humans expanded into the importance of Safe Spaces, the dissolution and artistic reinvention of self, more vulnerability into mental well-being. The narrative of the victim and who gets to be the victim superseded many socio-political displays.
With Neptune moving into Aries we will see the dissolution and re-conceptualization of self-hood. The conditionings and standards are Arian themes like sex, masculinity, and identity will continue to imbue with Neptunes artistry and illusion. That is to say, if gender is a construct, then we do have the right to define it however we want. Though Neptune can bring forward brand new discoveries. Mysteries or illusions actually come down. Aries themes having to do with War, conquest, and battle may manifest more readily in the creative process.
*The date ranges reflect the Moon being a majority in the given sign during a 5am-11pm EST range. It’s lovely to look at these Moon Sign Descriptions set each other up for a logical procession of life subtle developments.
The Moon in Aries - May 5-6: This Hot Moon is extra Hot with Mars present in Aries. Watch out for more inflammatory themes in the body and mind. Tire yourself out productively. Do some chores, exercise, or laborious tasks; get the extra energy out to resist the urge to be problematically intense or destructive.
The Moon in Taurus - May 6-8: Again, this will be a New Moon , but in general will be nice and offer a good chance to touch base with making your emotional space more comfortable.
The Moon in Gemini - May 8-10: Sociable and sharp. Either expect nervous energy or more enthusiasm for daily life.
The Moon in Cancer - May 11-12: Possibly comes with some clear, but strong emotions. During this Moon, get something off your chest, whether it be energy, something on your mind, or bits of crab shell shedding.
There is a good supportive space backed by eager energy this week. This is a good week to be bold, but in a radical self-care sense. There is still the looming sense of sacrifice, but it is worth it and you know that. Stick with it.
