Simplicity’s Sake
May 13th through May 19th
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!!
Planetary Pile-up in late Taurus: Venus, Uranus, the Sun, and Jupiter. Venus in Taurus lays a strong baseline for seeking pleasure, stability, and ease. A strong focus on the Taurus House in our chart brings new experiences and knowledge that expand and restructure our lifestyle for the better. We may come into more resources in the form of information, wealth, and/or health. Use this time to optimize the body and mind; allocate resources to support your goals and the vision for your life. You keep focus on your goals, but if you can apply more effort toward optimizing how you feel internally then you may find yourself better suited to seize each day moving forward.
Noting that Saturn still requires us to remain tapped into our obligation to Pisces consciousness and our Pisces House. Connecting the dream with the use of resources and sense of stability in a practical manner means we can create long term success toward manifesting our dreams. Or what we experience is the swift consequence of our indulgences.
Mercury moves into Taurus: The functional and dexterous use of the intellect and body will align with more prioritization of ease and comfort. We may feel more inclined to invest in Mercurial process. Something like upgrading equipment, improving techniques, or trying a new diet. Mercury will help us make more fine adjustments and attend to small details in the Taurus house; in our Taurean consciousness. This will be incredibly helpful given the presence of Jupiter which has been expanding the big ideas and big expansions. This is a good time to get in touch with your body and find what habits will make you feel the best.
Pluto Square Mercury: With Pluto squaring Mercury will put pressure on communication and harmonious habits. The power of the mind, as well as figures in our community, can be used to dig deep and transform ourselves into a lifestyle that feels organic and authentic. Pluto and Mercury made their conjunction on February 5th 2024; thus around this date is where we would’ve experience the most recent major event around this planetary alignment. Pluto and Mercury in aspect brings either revealing and concealing communication. There may be some small but transformative shifts in habit, and with this phase, we will have to reconcile some tension. This tension comes through the Aquarius/Taurus lens which is like the tension between peasants and Princes in feudal society. Between the outcast or down-trodden and the sovereign or privileged. The Aquarius house is often left in scarcity where the Taurus house gets to be comfortable. It does of course depend on Natal chart specifics.
*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 Leo - May 13-15: The Taurus New Moon was on May 7th so this will be the First Quarter moon phase which brings forward challenges. If you made any lifestyle changes or new investments you experiences the issues during these days. Leo Moon are however playful and cheery. This moon wants to see everyone in their dignity, but can bring forward dogmatic emotional behaviors that stem from insecurity. Insecurity of course being a symptom of a poorly attended Taurus House as Taurus demand stability.
The Moon in Virgo - May 15-17: This Moon is discerning and prefers to get things done. This Moon can bring up nervous energy which should be channeled productively. Use the elevated sense for detail-orientation to make adjustments or clean house.
The Moon in Libra - May 18-19: The emotional ease is sought through harmony with others and the environment. You may feel more inclined to be social and this can be a good time for diplomatic or pleasurable affairs.
As the planets continue to pile-up in the signs of Aries, Taurus, and soon Gemini it becomes good to focus on the basic personal needs. Small changes over large periods of time can be the most transformative decisions of our lives. Beginning to put money into retirement or high-yield accounts, small changes to diet, approaching people a bit differently, or improving the inner dialog.
Loving yourself and investing in your stability is the ultimate duty toward spreading love toward others. As humans we can really torture ourselves. Like spending money on clothes we don’t like to impress others; what a waste of gas, cash, cotton, and time. Living sustainably doesn’t have to be frugal; it can be a lifestyle of investing only in the things that will truly make us feel fulfilled.
To live both sustainably on a physical and emotional plane without feeling depleted. There is a merit to a healthy self-centeredness that will naturally fall into economic and sustainable living that doesn’t feel substandard and doesn’t come with a sense of resentment.
