May 28-June 3 - This Week in Astrology

Week of Monday May 28

Memorial Day (USA) is the last day of Gibbous Phase were we continue to refine our ability to relate to our partner?  We refine our ability to balance.   Perhaps some of us are just slowing down because we have been go-go-going or others who have been too comfortable are now getting out and moving around.  Balance is in the eye of the beholder.  

On May 29 we move into Sag Full Moon and hopefully we all will find something to inspire us.  

We move into Disseminating Moon on June 2.    There is also a beautiful trine between Neptune and Venus suggesting our values get a gift from the universe and or a healing. Family and cozy elements are highlighted. 


Disseminating

12:08pm EDT

Focus on:  How are you sharing your executive abilities?  How are you sharing your inner CEO?   How are you sharing the importance of strong management?   How are you sharing the ability to be prudent and conservative?  

Special focus:
6/2 Venus trine Neptune: Faith is love and love is faith. Trust and beauty, art and gentleness excel. 

Sag Full Moon: May 29

Sagittarius Full Moon 
May 29
10:19am EDT 

This is our first Sag full moon in the Taurus lunar cycle since Uranus crossed into Taurus.  Interesting.   This full moon also follows Jupiter (ruler of Sag) trine Neptune on 5/25.   Inspiring.   The Sun trine Mars.   Lively.    Venus is heading to a trine with Jupiter.   Very nice.   Venus is also heading to a trine with Neptune.  More inspiration.  And Venus just finished its annual opposition to Saturn.   Uncomfortable.      

When looking at these aspects and putting the chart in the bigger picture of cycles that we are processing, an image comes to mind of an Olympic athlete running down a road.  In the athlete’s hand is the torch blazing which is then handed to the next athlete.    Fire is our inspiration.   Fire keeps us going.    

We have talked a lot about the changes that are going on around us. Pluto is pushing down on the governments of the world for an evolution.   As individuals, Pluto is speaking to our goals and ambitions and our own evolution as we assess if our goals are in line with our values.    Saturn is pointing out our boundaries and asks what is practical? Jupiter in Scorpio is another evolutionary cycle where we look at our shared resources (including financial) and ask if the belief that lack is okay needs to destroyed?  Neptune in his home sign Pisces, still challenges us as we ping pong between hopelessness and a deep connection to spirit.  And of course Uranus who two weeks ago moved into Taurus and has begun its seven year journey activating the  Great Tinkering Era, where we are looking at our lives and hammering, cutting, chiseling, cementing and building new personal infrastructures.   We feel something coming and we know we need to make concrete changes.  

In that environment of significant changes a full moon in Sagittarius reminds us that we got this covered.  Not because we are smarter than anyone or stronger than anyone but more because we take a moment and check in with our fire.  During this full moon watch what makes you inspired.  What makes you laugh?  What makes you reach beyond your circle?  What comes up that feels like a bridge to another person, place or thing?   We can get mouthy with a full moon in Sag so take note if you are shooting off your opinions willy-nilly and consider would you be bettered served giving someone sage advice or wisdom from experience and not just opinions?   Can you find your inner teacher?   On the three-day full moon; find what inspires you and see how it supports you in this time of great change.     

Flame on!

Astrology This Week


Monday (as we discussed last week) is kind of tough
5/7: Mercury square Pluto.  Words that transform are fighting words. Transformation that needs to be communicated sounds ugly.   Under the surface something needs to die in order to be born anew.  
5/7: Venus square Neptune.   Love and money seem very fuzzy.  Values seem askew or unworldly.  Things feel ‘off’.  
 Later in the evening we move into last quarter moon.   Then on the 11thwe release all the sturm and drang of independence and a world where we put self first.   We release the fiery “me” and “I” so we can get prepare to get practical and earthbound for Taurus new moon.  


Last Quarter Moon Phase
May 7, 2018 
10:08pm EDT


Last Quarter moon:  Now we do the final adjustments to the seeds we planted on new. The final call, the final letters to send, we follow all the trails that came up that still make sense. And we let the other parts lay fallow. It is a time of action but wise action.  It is a time for living  “The serenity prayer” 

God, grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change Courage to change the
things I can, and the
Wisdom to know the difference.



Focus on:
What actions are you taking that support your friendships?  What actions are you taking that speak to the circle of likeminded people that hang around you?  What actions are you taking that connect you with circles of people?  What actions are you taking that build community?  


Special focus:
5/8 Sun oppose Jupiter.  The need to be practical feels big.  The need to acquire feels big.  
5/11: Sun trine Pluto.  Practical transformations that speak to our higher goals and expectations.  When we let go and transform in a really practical manner we can raise the bar.  


Balsamic Moon Phase

May 11, 2018 
8:07pm  EDT 


Focus on How are you releasing your independence?  How are you releasing your need to be alone?  How are you releasing your selfishness?  How are you releasing your short fuses? 

5/12: Mercury square Mars.   Fighting words help whom?   Think before you speak.  Think before you react to someone else’s speak. 
5/13: Mercury conjunct Uranus.    Genius thoughts arrive with a flash.  Fun creative thinking and communication.  And just plain old weird things come into play. 
5/13. Mercury enters Taurus 



Special Focus:


May 15, 7:47am EDT Taurus New Moon & Uranus enters Taurus 

CBS Sunday - Small Town America

May 6, 2018

I have noticed that when an outer planet moves into a new sign I tend to see stories that speak to that new energy.     Such is the case with this piece I saw on CBS Sunday Morning.

I can feel Uranus' upcoming move into Taurus (April 15).   It will be there for seven years so consider this the first story.  I am sure I will have plenty of stories during Uranus time in Taurus.

This Week in Astrology



The waning moon is punctuated this week with Mercury’s tussle with Pluto on May 7.   Conversation is not light, more depth and penetrating than easy and breezy.  Tongues and brains can be sharp. Also on the 7th  Venus and Neptune square off  distorting love,  beauty, creativity and money.   Fuzziness, deception and perhaps ennui or depression.    That is a lot of energy on one day, watch the day before if it all starts to spool up.

Special focus:
5/7: Mercury square Pluto.  Words that transform are fighting words.  Transformation that needs to be communicated sounds ugly.  Under the surface something needs to die in order to be born anew.
