MAY 4, VENUS SQUARE NEPTUNE

Early this morning the Moon trines Venus and opposes Jupiter and goes VOC in Libra at 5:17 AM. We’re exploring desires, feeling big feelings, and at best feeling (cautiously) optimistic, as the day begins. We don’t have all the answers, but we have choices to make — our only true power. Venus is square Neptune today, avoid projection and expectations of others. Happiness is a choice and true happiness comes from within. Move inward to fill your own cup, and replenish. The Moon enters Scorpio at 10:33 AM, immediately clashes with Pluto, and harmoniously connects with Saturn later in the day. The plot is thickening, evolving, and stabilizing. Surrender and flow with change.

MAY 2023, VIRGO SUN & RISING

Life has been full of twists, turns, and detours lately. As you enter May you’re making valuable discoveries, liberating you to see your journey from a different perspective. Especially as the Lunar Eclipse aligns early in the month. You’re learning information asking you to let go of perceptions and beliefs, that prevent you from seeing a greater truth. Not all truth is easy to speak or hear, but it will set you free. Keep your sights on the big picture, be philosophical and you can make wise choices and solid progress towards long-term goals. Mid-month brings major revelations about the path ahead. It will call for a huge leap of faith, but reach for your most optimistic vision and your faith will be rewarded. Long-distance travel, foreign cultures, countries and connections, higher education, immigration, and legal matters, are some of the themes in focus. But at the highest level, the coming year marks a spiritual journey. Keep an open mind, as you explore new horizons pastures, long-term goals, and a greater truth that guides you. As Mars enters Leo and the Sun enters Gemini in the final week of the month, your career is in the spotlight — presenting you with important choices. Reflect on your goals and what success means to you. Also acknowledge subconscious fears, and desires surrounding success and failure, that prevent you from being wholly yourself. As you become aware of blindspots, and unconscious self-destructive patterns, you can make conscious choices moving ahead. This is a chance to align with a soul mission and passion, as you redefine what it means to be successful and live life on your terms.

MAY 2023, LEO & LEO RISING

Your career is in the spotlight in May. As you enter the month, reflect on what success means to you, and take time to redefine your goals in accordance with all you’ve learned this past year. As the Scorpio Lunar Eclipse aligns, a domestic situation comes to light. This is an opportunity to consciously release the past, childhood insecurities, subconscious self-destructive patterns, and emotional baggage. Then you can rise to the occasion and truly be liberated to manifest your full potential. Mid-month Mercury stations direct, Jupiter ingresses Taurus, followed by the Taurus New Moon, bringing huge opportunities to move your career to the next level. You’ve been on a journey exploring long-term goals, and the wheel of fortune is turning. You’re coming into your own, planting seeds that will grow over the coming year. Be humble then you can truly achieve greatness, and the kind of success that truly makes you proud. And this is not just about success, this is your legacy and gift to the world. As Mars enters Leo on July 20, you’re making connections, networking, and chasing your dreams. Expect to feel more energized and driven over the coming two months, with opportunities to manifest a vision. But what is driving you? What do you want? Be motivated by passion rather than fear or self-doubt, and let go of the need for validation. You can’t please everyone all the time. Be true to yourself. And no matter what seems urgent, this is not a race or competition. Avoid comparisons. Move at your pace. In the long run, slow and steady always wins.

MAY 2023, GEMINI SUN & RISING

Taurus season is a time you go underground to recharge before the Sun ingresses Gemini. Over the past year, you’ve seen at least one big wish come true — now what’s next? As May begins, events unfolding are illuminating you to hidden parts of your psyche, subconscious ideas, beliefs, and thought patterns. At best, this is a chance to liberate yourself from what has kept you trapped and prevented progress. The Scorpio Lunar Eclipse marks the end of a cycle of transformation, which began in November 2021. Your health, work, and routines are coming to light asking you to reflect and re-evaluate what brings you a sense of fulfillment daily. Your quality of life matters more than your bank balance, and health is true wealth. You don’t have all the answers, but take things a day at a time. Consciously purge emotional baggage, declutter, and simplify life and routines. Recycle, upcycle, work smarter, and cut out what drains your time, money, energy, and resources. As Mercury stations direct, Jupiter ingresses Taurus, and the New Moon aligns in Taurus: dig deep to soul search, and align with an inner truth and reality. You’re planting seeds for a soul vision and the coming year marks a spiritual journey. Your faith may be tested at times, but the Universe supports your noblest goals. By the time the Sun enters your sign, you’re learning information, having passionate conversations, and facing choices that can help you manifest a vision. It will take courage to speak up and stand up for the truth. Be bold, confident, and true to yourself as you step into the light.

MAY 3, LIBRA MOON SQUARES MARS IN CANCER

The Libra Moon squares Mars this evening bringing us to a turning point. Things are heating up and we have choices to make. There’s a need for balance, sensitivity, creativity, fairness, and honesty. Avoid projecting this energy. Allow yourself to feel what you feel – whether its anger, blame, frustration, fear, desire, passion, love — and move inward to find balance. You’re learning what you need, want, and also the patterns you don’t want to repeat. Rather than expect anyone or anything else to change, this is a chance to make adjustments and choices that align with your authentic self and inner truth. Then you can bring about a transformation where you need it most.

TAURUS SUN & RISING, MAY 2023

You’ve been re-evaluating your identity, reaching a deeper understanding of your worth and values, and power in this world. Slowly but surely, as the planets gather in Taurus, you’re coming home to yourself. As the Scorpio Lunar Eclipse aligns, you’re seeing your relationships in a new light. You’re ending a cycle that began in November 2021, bringing a powerful release, transformation, and resurrection. Avoid clinging and allow space for changes. This is a chance to let go of your beliefs, ideas, subconscious fears, and mistrust that prevent you from seeing the truth about your relationships. Especially one close connection, where communication has been a hot spot, is deepening and sweetening in a surprising way. It’s been a long year of facing your deepest fears, blindspots, and life’s bigger unknowns. Trust – whatever you’ve dreamed for yourself, the Universe has dreamed bigger, and better, and you won’t have to wait too long for real proof. As Mercury stations direct, Jupiter enters Taurus, followed by the Taurus New Moon there are huge developments and revelations coming through. You’re in a personal new cycle, entering a year of exponential growth, (watch your diet!) pregnant (literally or metaphorically) with possibility. The world is finally starting to see your genius and gifts. Be humble, then you can truly achieve greatness. As Mars enters Leo, things are heating up at home. You may be moving in with a partner, entertaining guests, or perhaps it’s time for a housewarming or all of the above. A relationship is deepening, but confront your past and childhood honestly, then it needn’t cast a shadow on all that is bright golden, and blossoming. Luck is on your side and opportunity is knocking this year. Have more faith in yourself, as you welcome it in.

MAY 2, LIBRA MOON TRINE PLUTO

The Moon enters peaceful Libra and connects with powerful Pluto, bringing a liberating and inspiring transformation, and giving us butterflies at best. Recognize everything changes, people change, relationships change, and even you are changing. Find inner balance, remain detached, and allow space for changes taking place within you, around you, in others, and in dynamics. Things are up in the air, and relationships are evolving and deepening. Be patient as the dust settles. This is a chance to clear space, release old patterns, and evolve to new levels of acceptance, connection, and relating with others and the world around you.

ARIES SUN & RISING, MAY 2023

You’ve been nesting; focused on matters of home, family, and your emotional and financial security. As May begins you’re in the process of re-evaluating your finances, closest commitments, and your values. As the Scorpio Lunar Eclipse aligns, consciously let go of power struggles, and childhood insecurities, as you dig deeper for your values and self-esteem. Hopefully, you’re starting to see (or soon will) that you have more than enough of what you need. As Jupiter ingresses Taurus, and the Taurus New Moon aligns, you’re entering a year of material and emotional growth, deepening your self-esteem. Invest in yourself, your well-being, and your future, and you could build a generous nest egg. As Mars enters Leo on May 20, life is drawing you out of your comfort zone to take a risk. As long as you remain true to your values, you needn’t worry about making a wrong choice. You are in a safe position financially, and have the support of family, loved ones, and a significant other. Have more faith in yourself and be honest about what matters most to you. It will take courage and confidence to dare to follow your passion. You may even raise a few eyebrows — that’s nothing new, but what’s new is you. You are not who you used to be — and you have every reason to be proud of who you are today and are becoming. Let go of expectations of others, focus on your happiness, and stay in the present. Your ability to be authentic and live your life on your terms is an inspiration and can spark a wave of much-needed change.

May 1, Pluto Retrograde, Sun-Mercury rx cazimi

Pluto, Lord of the Underworld, stations retrograde today at 0+ Aquarius, and retrograde Mercury meets the Sun in Taurus. There’s a profound inner transformation underway, and hidden truths coming to light. Pressure makes diamonds and cracks glass. There might even be opportunities arising that could greatly improve your material and financial status. But remain detached from material gain, and be true to your values — nothing is worth selling your soul.

Since March 23, Pluto’s ingress in Aquarius has brought us the first glimpse into this next phase of transformation. Now Pluto will be retrograde in Aquarius till June 17 (when it re-enters Capricorn) marking a time of personal and societal transformation; especially in the areas of technology, social justice, and individual freedoms. This is a time to work on deep-seated issues that may have been hidden or repressed and let go of what no longer serves us to make space for new growth and change.

A lot has come to the surface and we’re processing and working through a lot — emotionally, mentally, even physically. Be gentle and move slowly, you’ll be less likely to make needless errors. Making a list can help. As the Virgo Moon opposes Neptune later this evening, rest, reflect, replenish and heal as you clarify a vision.

APRIL 30, DAILY ASTROLOGY

The Virgo Moon opposes Saturn just after midnight, We’re processing heavy emotions, understanding limits, and learning what needs to be done to give shape to our dreams. Something might seem like a mountainous task but everything is better after a good night’s rest. A warm bath can help you sleep restfully. As the day progresses, the Moon connects harmoniously with the Sun and Mercury and we’re in the groove again. It’s a productive and healing day – we can get a lot done. Make a list and slowly chip away, one task at a time. Trust any heavy lifting you do is paving the way to your future, and is well worth the effort.
