Mid May 2024 Update

Greetings Everyone,

The month of May kindly reminds us we can slowly take the gas off the pedal…. and relax a bit.

Mercury in Aries went through its Retrograde cycle in Aries April 1-26th, as it welcomed the Solar Eclipse in Aries on the 8th….a very energetic timeframe. 

Mercury rules everything cerebral- the mind,language,learning,communications, our personal perceptions ect. In the Fire element of Aries that brings out the assertive side, straight talk,quick thinking and a preoccupied mind in general. Mercury entered Aries on March 11th and leaves May 15th for greener pastures with a more deliberate and methodical mental energy.Practical thinking and a slower pace.

Mercury enters Taurus May 15th and joins a stellium of planets in Taurus: Jupiter, Uranus,Venus and the Sun. Friday May 17th –Mercury in Taurus squares Pluto in Aquarius. This can start our weekend off with a bit of intense focus on a certain topic, project or person,(personally or professionally) but this can add to the excitement we have on tap.Conversations can be deep and meaningful as Pluto goes beneath the surface to get to the true essence.

The predominance of Earth signs in the sky now allows us to step back from the intensity of the last couple months.Taurus seeks comfort in routine that does not exhaust us.Ruled by Venus we may look towards relationships and nature as our avenue to slow down and spend quality time.A cup of coffee and a catch up with a friend or a hike in the woods.Pleasant connections is an important theme.

May 18th Jupiter meets the Taurus Sun for a new 12 year reset in the Taurus part of your chart.A new growth period seeds itself here. What opportunity deserves further investigation…in love or money?Taurus is ruled by Venus, who attends to both areas. Although this is a quick transit, its beneficial energy should be taken advantage of.Well being, confidence and optimistic attitudes are the calling card of these bright lights together. Pay attention to where you spend your time and what you learn this weekend, it may be the beginning of something you’d like to expand on. Jupiter & the Sun form a sextile to Neptune in Pisces~ bringing compassion, inclusiveness and imagination into the mix.

Venus & Uranus meet up in Taurus on the same day! This is an exciting combination of unusual connections,impulsive attractions, and out of the blue reunions…..expect the unexpected. 

A good day to free up your time, get out to do something different, you never know what you may find! Maybe a valuable antique or a winning lottery ticket or meeting an interesting love potential, a new friend? The key is…to get out there.

Look to the house where Taurus sits in your chart, to point to clues…….

Wishing everyone a cheerful and interesting weekend ahead! ðŸŒž

I am booking readings into June.

Astrology for Thanksgiving

We all have different traditions on this day. Some make extravagant meals for many family members, volunteer at soup kitchens , keep it simple, or share the day between different sides of the family….These traditions can have a twist this year ~ Venus in Capricorn is steady, traditional earth energy, she wants to be helpful. She is in a harmonious trine aspect to Unpredictable Uranus. Uranus in Taurus is also ruled by Venus introducing a different, unusual & exciting element to the day! Who is coming to dinner? Make extra food?? Who knows?

The conservative Capricorn moon will also be present & conjunct Venus ~ helping organize and lending a hand in the cooking & cleaning and supplying some dry wit for the unexpected. Family tradition may be altered a little this year in a positive way , embrace any changes with the harmonious energy of staying in the moment & keeping your day grounded
