Take Time to Rest

After the intensity of the last few weeks, it’s time for a little bit of breathing room.  There are mainly lunar aspects in the sky and only one planetary aspect.

The Sun in Gemini Squares Saturn in Pisces on May 28 at 6:46 am.  The need to learn and be intellectual is at odds with your need to dream and drift.  If you can take time to try both.  No matter how much you may like to learn, there comes a time when you just need to take a break.  You may start to get a headache or an opportunity will come up to do something fun.  Take time to relax, you can always accomplish tasks another day.

Here in the United States, it’s Memorial Day weekend.  It’s a time to honor those that have died in service to our country and to remember those that we’ve lost.  So many of us have it as a long weekend and take it as an opportunity to get one more project done.  Take some time to reflect on where you’ve come from.  Sometimes it's so easy just to do more and more and you can forget to rest.  Rest is so important and can even give you more energy to do the things you love.  Take some time for yourself this week and allow yourself to dream and reflect.  Goals can be accomplished another day.

Talk It Out

Things in the sky are about to get a little bit chatty as the Sun changes signs this week.  The Sun entered the sign of Gemini on May 21 at 3:09 am.  Do you notice the difference?

Gemini is the sign of duality.  You may notice that things happen in twos.  It is also a sign that not only like to talk it out but to learn something new.  This can be a great month to take a new class or meet up with friends.
 
Mars in Leo Squares Jupiter in Taurus, which just changed signs last week, on May 23 at 1:13 am.  Mars in Leo is ready to go.  Maybe do something that is for them and only them, but Taurus isn’t ready yet.  Taurus doesn’t want to make changes and wants things to remain the same, but you’re meant to grow something new with Jupiter being in Taurus, so don’t say no quite yet.  Think about it.  Weigh the pros and cons.  You may just decide to give it a try.
 
On May 24 at 7:39 pm, Venus in Cancer Squares Chiron in Aries.  Venus is getting in touch with her maternal side, while Chiron is ready to be a warrior and maybe even go to battle.  Who will win?  It’s all up to you.
 
Be careful this week of people trying to bring you into their dramas.  It could be a good week to set boundaries or even say that you need time to think about something and walk away.  Take time to think it over and deal with it at another time.  Sometimes decisions are better made when you aren’t emotional or have a little bit more perspective.  You may need another opinion.  Allow yourself to talk it out with someone else, but remember you don’t have to do what they may suggest.

Did You Have An Awakening?

Last week a chapter in your life ended and a new one is beginning.  Was there a trickle effect where the information slowly came to you or did you have a moment where it just happened?  Either way is possible and leads the way into this week.  You’re going to take that moment and move it forward.

Venus enters the sign of Cancer this week on May 7 at 10:25 am.  You may feel more sensitive and emotional or you could be very needy and moody.  One is the light side of Cancer and one is the dark side.  Venus enjoys being in Cancer.  This could be an opportunity for you to feel the effects of what has taken place.  Get in touch with your emotions.  Hear what they have to tell you and use it to your advantage.

The Sun in Taurus will conjunct Uranus in Taurus on May 9 at 3:36 pm.  Uranus, the planet of revolution and change, may just rattle your sense of safety and security.  You may have already been feeling off-center from the revelations of the eclipse and Uranus may just shake things up a little more.  What are you supposed to do?  Try and sit with the emotions that are coming up.  Is it fear coming up?  What does all of this mean?  What will happen now?  Take deep breaths until you can think clearly.  It’s easy to make impulsive decisions that you may regret later.  Be in the moment and see what comes to you and what direction you want to go.

Don’t worry if nothing big changes in your life.  You may already be on the right path and only needed some minor course corrections.  You may also see changes over the next 6 months to a year.  Eclipse energy doesn’t always happen the day of, but can unfold over time.

The Energy Shifts

This week another planet goes retrograde and there’s another Eclipse. You will feel the energy shift and it’s trying to send you in a new direction.  What you do with the shift and the direction it sends you is up to you.

Pluto stations to go retrograde in the sign of Aquarius on May 1 at 1:09 pm.  Pluto will be retrograde until October 10 and will retrograde back into the sign of Capricorn in June.  It’s going to be time to re-examine the darkness of Pluto.  Are there still shadows that you need to look at.  You have a couple of opportunities to look at what you’ve been working on since 2008.  Look at the world since 2008, so much has changed.  Has it changed for the better?  Depends on how you look at it, but I think most would agree that the dark side of people has been exposed.  There’s no going back and hiding under a rock, but there is the option to do the work and see if the world can be a little bit better.  The work is never easy, but it’s the only way to truly grow as a person and as a community.  Which path do you want to take?

The Sun in Taurus conjuncts Mercury in Taurus on May 1 at 7:28 pm.  What do you value?  The sun and Mercury are shining a light on those things that you value.  Is what you value, how you spend the majority of your time?  If it isn’t, do you need to make some changes to either your values or how you spend your time?  The choice is yours.

Venus in Gemini will square Neptune in Pisces on May 4 at 1:40 pm.  Venus is looking to have a conversation about your spiritual side.  Are you looking to engage in that conversation or are you looking to avoid it altogether?

The Lunar Full Moon Eclipse in Taurus and Scorpio is on May 5 at 1:34 pm.  This is the last eclipse in the Taurus-Scorpio access and then the nodal access will shift this summer.  This is the end point for something that began about 18 months ago.  A chapter is ending.  How you respond to the end of this chapter is up to you.  The end could be big or it could be small, it depends on you.  Have you done the work or have you been insisting that nothing is wrong? 

Remember to take some time for yourself this week.  Do something fun or relaxing.  When the energy shifts are big it can be challenging to get a good night’s rest.  Do your best and remember to be kind.  Everyone else is experiencing the same energy as you, but in maybe a slightly different way.  The world could use a little more kindness.

Review and Reform

It’s an eclipse week, the Sun changes signs and Mercury goes retrograde!  Oh boy.  Things are about to get interesting.

The solar eclipse happens at 29 degrees Aries on April 19 at 9:13 pm, just a few hours before the Sun moves into the sign of Taurus.  You’re wrapping up a story from October and November and beginning a new chapter.  This is the last set of eclipses before the Nodes change signs this summer.
 
The Sun enters Taurus on April 20 at 4:14 am.  The sign of Taurus likes things to be calm, steady, and stable, but rarely does life regularly take that course.  Life has twists and turns and things change, none of which are things that Taurus likes.  The good news is that Taurus can be patient and determined, which could come in handy as life throws you curve balls.  Try to be open to what curve balls have to tell you.
 
The Sun in Taurus will square Pluto in Aquarius a few hours later at 12;27 pm.  What is good for you versus what is good for the collective?  Are they at odds?  If they are, truly think about it.  You may be surprised that with a little tweak here or there, it could work for both parties.
 
Mercury stations to go retrograde on April 21 at 4:35 am.  Mercury is already in its shadow period, so you may have been noticing the technological glitches have already begun.  All the retrogrades are in earth signs this year.  What do you need to create a sturdy foundation in your life?  Retrogrades have a tendency to keep pushing the envelope, they want you to think differently.  If you’d go left, go right.   You have a few weeks.  Take this retrograde period as an opportunity to review and reform your foundations.

Take A Chance

Aries season can be one of impulsivity, but that might now always be a bad thing.  When the Sun conjuncts Jupiter this week, it could just work to your advantage.

Venus this week enters the sign of Gemini on April 11 at 12:47 am.  Venus is going to enjoy talking things out and writing.  You may want to be more social than usual and ask lots of questions.  However, Gemini is also the sign of duality, so remember there could be another side to things or they could come in twos.
 
The Sun in Aries also conjuncts Jupiter in Aries on April 11 at 6:07 pm.  Jupiter expands whatever the Sun is shining a light on.  This may be a time to try something new or act in a way that you might not normally do.  Take a chance this week.  There is a tendency to think that by trying something new, the worst is always going to happen, but sometimes everything you want is on the other side of trying.  Don’t let fear hold you back.  Become a warrior and seek what you want.
 
Venus in Gemini will square Saturn in Pisces on April 14 at 12:38 pm.  Venus may feel a little restricted by Saturn.  She may not feel quite like herself or talk quite as much.  You feel stuck in your head and like you just feel adrift.  Remember it’s a transit and it’s temporary.
 
The energy has been challenging the last few weeks.  There is a kind of push-and-pull dynamic going on.  You may feel like you’re constantly taking two steps forward and one step back, but eventually, you will arrive at your destination.  Keep going and take chances.  Life is meant to be lived.

Productive Until You Aren’t

Mercury changes signs this week and communication should become clear and concise, but will it?

Mercury moves into the sign of Taurus on April 3 at 12:22 pm.  Taurus is the sign of calm, stability, and patience, but if you look at the shadow side of Taurus it can also be materialistic, possessive, and stubborn.  Taurus isn’t represented by the bull for no reason at all.  So communication should become clear and concise while it resides in the sign of Taurus, but will it?  Taurus can be a determined sign but will that work to your advantage?
 
Mercury has its first aspect after switching signs a couple of hours later.  Mercury will square Pluto in Aquarius at 2:55 pm.  This is Mercury and Pluto’s first meeting since both planets changed signs.  They’re coming up with a new game plan.  Once the plan and your focus have been decided, Mercury will begin to distribute the plan to all of the other planets.  Aquarius is a sign that is focused on the community and technology, but it can also be one that is forward-thinking.  What are you thinking ahead towards?
 
The last significant aspect of the week is the Sun in Aries Conjunct Chiron in Aries on April 5 at 6:18 pm.  The Sun in warrior mode meets the wounded healer.  What healing do you still need to focus on?  There is something that you still need to heal in order to move forward with your goals in life.  This is the time to examine those inner wounds and see if you can make a little progress in healing them.
 
Remember this week that it can seem like your life should be this way.  Everything could be lining up one moment, and your plan is off the rails the next.  It’s ok.  Life’s journey isn’t a straight line, there are twists and turns.  Go with the flow and see what happens as a result, but keep in mind that productivity is still important.  You want to accomplish things!  Don’t stop when you’re just about to cross the finish line.

Time for Energy Shifts

There are 4 planetary sign changes coming this week, so be prepared for the energy shifts.  The astrological new year and spring also both officially arrive this week.  Yay!  Are you ready for spring?

Two planets will enter the sign of Aries, Mercury, and the Sun.  Mercury goes first on March 19 at 12:24 am.  Be ready for your conversations and thinking to take on a new tone.  They have the potential to be more energetic, quick, and direct, but they can also be more impatient and aggressive.  The Sun will enter the sign of Aries on March 20 at 5:24 pm.  The Sun will bring a new beginning.  If you’ve been thinking about being a pioneer, this is a great time to initiate something new.
 
Pluto will test the waters in the sign of Aquarius starting on March 23 at 8:13 am.  Aquarius is an air sign that prefers the logical and scientific side of thinking.  It can also be idealistic, independent, and objective.  Aquarius also governs technology and community.  Technology and community may become part of the societal focus until it shifts next in 2043 (Pluto will retrograde back into Capricorn from June 11 to January 20).
 
Finally, Mars leaves the sign of Gemini where it has been since August, and enters the sign of Cancer on March 25 at 7:45 am.  Mars will tap into his supportive side until July 1.  You may want to spend more time working on domestic matters or being more nurturing.   
 
Remember this is a lot of energy, so take some time out for yourself.  Rest and relax.  It can be tempting to be impulsive, especially with the Aries energy, but if you need a time out, take it.  Remember to take care of yourself first.

Are you Exhausted?

Have you just been feeling exhausted lately?  You have nothing left to give even though you have so much to do.  You’re not alone.   Unfortunately, the energy this week will leave you feeling the same way.  Exhausted, stressed and confused.  Like all things in life, this is just a chapter, and it too will be coming to a close, but first boundaries are important.

This week’s energy includes a lot of Pisces energy.  This can be a great time for creativity, but it can also make you want to escape from reality.  The world is a confusing place and you just want it to stay the same.  You want to know what’s going on.  You will, but not quite yet.
 
Mars in Gemini will square Neptune in Pisces on March 14 at 7;39 pm.  Mars has been having some trouble getting traction and is still having to do things twice.  This square might get something moving, but it could be a challenge to want to get moving.  The next day, the Sun in Pisces conjuncts Neptune in Pisces at 7:39 pm.  This could be an opportunity to be creative and tap into your artistic side.
 
March 16 there’s a lot of energy, so it could be stressful and lead to your exhaustion.  Mercury in Pisces will conjunct Neptune in Pisces at 1:13 pm.  Be kind with your words.  Have compassion for your fellow humans.  People seem to be at their breaking point.  The Sun in Pisces will Square Mars in Gemini at 2:10 pm.  Mars just wants to go and get something done and may get frustrated.  Venus in Aries is Square Pluto in Capricorn at 3:59 pm.  Venus is checking in with Pluto one last time before its move into Aquarius on March 23.  Is there one last detail that you need to feel before the energy switches?  The day ends with Venus entering Taurus at 6;34 pm.  Venus will be moving into her ruling planets.  She feels at home in the safety, security, and beauty of Taurus. 
 
On March 17 at 12:49 am, Mercury in Pisces will Square Mars in Gemini.  Is there a conversation that needs to take place so that you can begin to move forward?
 
Here are some takeaways from this Gemini- Pisces energy.  Be curious.  Gemini loves to learn.  It can be challenging to do things multiple times, but know that each time will teach you something.  Pisces loves the mystical and spiritual aspects of life, but it also craves time alone.  Take some time to rest this week.  Get plenty of sleep.  Your body needs the rest, take it.  There’s nothing wrong with taking some time for yourself.

Rose-Colored Glasses

The end of Aquarius season is drawing near and Pisces season is almost upon you.  It will be time to tap into the empathic, compassionate, and spiritual side of life.  The Sun will enter Pisces on February 18 at 5:34 p.m.

Although the Sun hasn’t entered Pisces yet, Venus and Neptune are both there and are meeting on February 15 at 7:25 am.  Venus loves hanging out in the sign of Pisces and can tap into her romantic side.  She can float away while dreaming and escaping and Neptune is right there with her.  Neptune will take the opportunity to escape, dream and imagine.  This is definitely a day where you are likely to see the world through rose-colored glasses, so it can be challenging if you’re searching for clarity.

The Sun in Aquarius will visit Saturn in Aquarius one last time on February 16 at 11:48 am before Saturn moves into Pisces on March 7.  This is an opportunity to check in and make sure that you’re on track before Saturn changes signs.  What have you been meant to learn while Saturn has been in Aquarius?  Are you ready to move on?  The answer as to what you’re supposed to learn is different for each person and is dependent on your own natal chart.  The sign of Aquarius can also hold a sense of idealism but can be used if you need some objectivity.
 
This is a time of ending patterns and wrapping up cycles, so use this week to your advantage.  Dream a little.  Try to find the best in the world, I know it can be challenging.  What contribution can you bring to make the world just a little bit better?
