ASTROLOGY PODCAST MAY 15 – 23, JUPITER IN TAURUS, MERCURY DIRECT, MARS IN LEO

2023-05-17

Expect your soul to grow at least a foot taller this week.

ASTROLOGY PODCAST: COSMIC DIARIES WEEK OF MAY 15-23, 2023

The Wheel of fate and fortune is turning again, and Major planetary aspects and shifts are occurring daily this week, reshaping and transforming our reality powerfully. We’re moving to the Taurus New Moon — remain centered.

You have a good chance of some of your desires materializing dramatically over the coming weeks, months, and years. So be careful what you wish for. Sow wisely, nurture what’s precious to you, have faith in a natural growth process, and you could be reaping rewards for a long time to come.

Here’s a rundown of the week’s aspects. With Mercury Direct, I’ve decided to bring the Weekly Cosmic Diaries podcast back to life. I hope you listen to the end and listen again later as the week unfolds — there’s a lot to unpack.

ASTROLOGY PODCAST: COSMIC DIARIES WEEK OF MAY 15-23, 2023
Includes:
May 14: Mercury Stations Direct in Taurus
May 15: Mars in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces
May 16: Jupiter ingresses Taurus till May 25, 2024
May 17: Jupiter in Taurus Square Pluto in Aquarius Rx
May 18: Sun in Taurus sextile Neptune in Pisces
May 19: Taurus New Moon at 28+
May 20: Mars ingresses Leo till July 10, 2023, and opposes Pluto in Aquarius
May 21: Sun ingresses Gemini, Sun trine Pluto Rx
May 22: Mars sextiles the Sun in Gemini

–
Mercury stationed direct late last night, at 11:11 PM ET on May 14 bringing buried truths to the surface, or developments that stopped us in our tracks. Where there have been communication breakdowns — we can expect a gradual forward movement over the coming week, helping us to get to the bottom of the truth and find common ground with others.

Jupiter is at 29+ Aries triggering the Eclipse degree, and preparing to ingress Taurus tomorrow. Also, Mars is trine Neptune and the Moon is in Aries. We’re feeling impatient, impulsive, and driven to action. Self-awareness is needed. What was unfolding around April 19? What have you learned since then? Jupiter will not return to Aries for another 12 years — so take time today to reflect on the growth and gifts Jupiter in Aries has brought you since the beginning of the year.

With Mars active this week, we’re moving a lot of stuck energy. But what is motivating you? Is it fear, anger, desire, or passion? We’re discovering new depths of emotion within us. Release negative emotions consciously – and move with intention and awareness. This energy is powerful, magnetic, and there’s real magic here. Wield it wisely, as you recognize your power to be the creator of your life and materialize your desires.

As the Taurus New Moon aligns — relationships and life are evolving powerfully. Create and allow space for new growth, while staying in the present. The seeds you plant this week, have the potential to grow dramatically over the coming months and year. Sow wisely.

The energy this week is powerful, bringing huge opportunities, growing self-esteem, a tangible change in material circumstances, and deepening relationships to offer real support. Value yourself and remember, humility precedes true greatness. Then you can conquer a personal Goliath this week – and take a giant leap of faith towards your materializing a future you dream of. And the future begins here, and now.

New Video: Venus-Saturn conjunction and Neptune Direct station

—
Dear Friends,

The Moon is in Leo as I write this, reaching a square to the Scorpio Sun marking the Last Quarter phase; bringing us half-way between the Taurus Full Moon and Sagittarius New Moon a week from now.

Last night, Venus made a conjunction to Saturn, ushering us over a major threshold in relationships, financial and creative situations; asking us to recognize and reclaim our power to create the change we need.

Also, you’ve probably noticed, the energy is particularly dreamy and spacey lately. Neptune is currently stationary, preparing to station direct in Pisces on Nov. 16, 2014.

Neptune is the higher octave of Venus — a higher love. And the current conjunction and direct station of these two planets holds a deep message for all our relationships, financial as well as creative situations for at least the coming year, if not thirty.

Here’s a video covering the aspects. (Apologies for the slight abrupt edit in the beginning and slight Neptunian ramble.)

Also, we’re entering the waning Moon phase towards the Sagittarius New Moon on Nov. 23, 2014 at 0+ degrees. Between now and then besides Neptune’s direct station, Mercury and Venus change signs.

As the Sun makes it’s way through the final days of Scorpio, use the energy to release as much baggage as you can, physically, emotionally so you can take flight with the new cycle.

For a more detailed interpretation of these and other aspects between now and the end of the month, you can sign up here for a one week free trial and receive the November monthly astrology report and horoscopes in your email.

As bitter-sweet as reality may be, you’ve passed a point of no return. And as much as there may have been a sense of having fallen from grace, here comes resurrection.

You’re staring at something with pure, fertile, infinite, creative potential. Seek clarity and have faith the details will fall into place.

What dream do you want to resurrect and or bring to life?

Love,

Priya

Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is a wasted time
Look inside your heart, I’ll look inside mine

Dear Friends,

It’s Friday night, Venus is approaching a conjunction to Neptune in Pisces in a little over an hour from the time of my posting this at 10:23 PM EDT, Apr. 11, 2014. Venus is exalted in Pisces, and in conjunction to Neptune, ruler of Pisces, in Pisces.

This is the stuff dreams are made of. This is magical, musical, intoxicating, creative, dreamy energy, possibly bringing an experience of timelessness, dissolving in eternity, for however brief a moment.

With the Moon in Virgo, channel this energy so you don’t lose it — take the time to soak in art, music, be inspired and allow creativity and love to flow through you.

Pisces is the 12th sign of the zodiac, and it’s symbol is two fish swimming in a circle in opposite directions. And this symbol itself carries a deep mystical truth about the nature of this sign energy and the inherent duality.

Pisces represents the ethereal, the “Divine” or “God”; not what we “know” about God, but what God really “is.” And with Venus conjunct Neptune in Pisces, if we tune in we could listen to the heart of God. But Pisces also represents “Maya” or the great illusion, the veil — that separates us from seeing reality. And this veil isn’t on the world — this is veil of perception.

We’re leading into the weekend, with the Moon growing as we move towards a powerful Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in Libra the sign of relationships and art, there is a dream coming to heart. It could be easy to be intoxicated (in more ways than one) and see the world with rose (or wine) tinted glasses, making something appear a lot more alluring than it is.

But this is about unconditional love, not necessarily “romantic” love. Be careful not to dive in headlong without checking first if there’s water in the pool, or be too quick to dismiss something as a mirage. Or to put it another way, go deeper beyond the surface of something or someone.

Seek depth and transparency, go beyond perception, projection, belief and be in no denial (the worst lies are the ones we tell ourselves) then you need not fear a rude awakening. And only then, can you discover the true essence, beauty, nature and value of something and how infinitely divine and beautiful reality can be.

For now, as Venus conjuncts Neptune in Pisces, allow yourself to be inspired, heal, dream a dream. As the exact Full Moon and Total Lunar Eclipse occurs on April 15, 2014 at 3:42 AM EDT at 25+ Libra in a conjunction to the North Node and Hecate, you are being shown what you need to do and the choices you can make to restore balance, create harmony and breathe life into a dream.

I’m recording a special audio the coming Libra Eclipse, which will be sent out to subscribers by email in the next day or so. If you aren’t yet a subscriber, you can sign up here for a one week free trial to receive the audio for this Eclipse and the next (Taurus Solar Eclipse,) monthly Horoscopes and other reports for this life-changing month in your inbox.

I’ll be back with more astrology, in the meanwhile, I wish you love…

Dear Friends,

Venus has now left the deep waters of Pisces and entered Aries the 1st sign of the zodiac. She is also approaching a conjunction to Uranus exact tonight Feb. 8, 2012 at 9:28 PM EST — which is sure to bring sudden, surprising developments.

The relationship between Pisces and Aries can be seen through the Prometheus myth, where Prometheus ‘the Awakener’ stole the fire (Aries) of the Gods (Pisces) and gave it to mortals. Venus in Aries represents the pure fire of creation. After her transit through Pisces, this is the un-manifest creation, manifest.

Astrologically Venus is said to be in ‘detriment’ in Aries, whereas she was ‘exalted’ in Pisces. When a planet is in its ‘detriment,’ its energy is harder to express and access naturally.

Here we get the image of a fallen angel, a Goddess who’s been sent down from heaven, to earth — and the ways and rules of this material world are often simply baffling to her — like a child in a new world.

Think of a new born, whose very presence and being is love. But it is hard for a child to express its needs so he or she will cry, or throw a tantrum, rather than be able to tell you what it’s feeling or what it needs. Do you then speak to the child and try to understand what he or she needs, give it tools for self-expression, or do we impatiently punish or beat the child, who has no understanding of why you would hit him or her? The same goes for our hearts.

Venus in Aries is like the child who colors wildly outside the lines or paints the sky a bright green instead of blue. Are we going to stamp the imagination out of (our inner) child and heart, to make it conform to the world? Or do we encourage, appreciate his or her uniqueness and see the wondrous world as new again through his or her eyes?

Welcome to a new week…

We are now in Eclipse season with a New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Gemini next week, and today on Monday, May 23, 2011 Venus and Mars conjunct in Taurus coloring the energy for the week and this Eclipse cycle. This aspect is bringing a cornucopia of delights, oozing with fertile financial and creative opportunities and opportunities for deep sensual pleasure.

Here is an excerpt from the May 2011 Astrological Overview sent out to subscribers at the beginning of the month:

“Perhaps the most significant aspect this month comes around the end of May when Venus-Mars conjunction in Taurus. This can be rather indulgent energy and is laden with rich, luscious and fertile possibilities – financially, romantically and creatively. The next conjunction will not be until 2013 in Aries, making this a rather rare aspect. What we make of it will depend on our ability to recognize the potential in something or someone [and more importantly what it means to us.]

“These planets usually conjunct once ever 2 years, but recently since 2008 (the last conjunction before that was in October 2006 in Scorpio) we’ve had a series of Venus-Mars conjunctions in close succession suggesting a situation or relationship that has been in a rapid state of evolution.

“Venus-Mars were conjunct in Libra on Sep. 12, 2008, in Aries on April 22, 2009, then on June 21, 2009 in Taurus, on Aug. 21, 2010 in Libra and the most recent one on Oct. 4, 2010 in Scorpio. Look back to these dates and you will see a greater pattern emerging in financial and creative situations, relationships and especially a close personal relationship you share. Especially look to the time around of Oct. 4, 2010 when Mars and Venus made a conjunction in Scorpio. We were learning deep, dark perhaps painful truths and secrets at that time especially surrounding sexual relationships and financial commitments. Things were changing deeply back then and we were certainly put in the ring of fire.

But as the planets conjunct again in Taurus on May 23, 2011 in the opposite side of the zodiac look at how far you’ve come from six months ago. Scorpio represents transformation and although something was ‘dying’ it was a necessary part of the process of resurrection. Now as the planets conjunct in Taurus, we are learning what is ‘real’ never dies, it only changes and evolves to reveal true form.” — Priya Kale, May 1, 2011. An excerpt from the May 2011 Astrological Overview.

==

Be honest with yourself about your desires and what and whom you value most in this world. A meeting point is imminent for relationships, but don’t let your stubbornness stand in the way of what you really crave and yearn for. Anytime Venus and Mars make aspects, relationships and financial situations are highlighted and in Taurus this is very tangibly creative energy.

The next time Venus and Mars make a conjunction in Taurus will be 30 years later in 2041 when Saturn returns to Libra, making this an especially rare aspect and especially potent for relationships. Taurus is a sign that rules deep commitments and the commitments we are making now could very well set us on a cycle of the next thirty years — this is as real as it gets. What matters is how much we are willing to invest of our energy into seeing something grow. This will require patience and commitment but the fruits of your efforts will be well worth it. And if you dig below the surface you could discover something truly priceless.

Taurus represents the earth and all that is manifest. Money may buy us things and take care of our needs to a certain extent, but it certainly can’t buy us happiness or love. The energy now suggests we hold incredible potential before us to experience deep pleasure — not just of the body, but also of the heart.

We have one life to live and its too precious to live holding on to the things and people we love for fear of loss. You, me and everything that ‘is,’ will one day return to dust. Even loss is as much a part of life, making this incredible gift all the more precious in its transience, too short to waste on regrets and on what might have been. Only the love we share is real and what matters is how much we cherish life and each other while still here in the flesh.

Venus enters Aquarius, Sun sextile Chiron

2008-12-07

Audio Forecasts for the 12 signs for the week through Dec. 15, 2008 are ready for download.

It’s been an interesting end of the year to say the least and the fireworks haven’t even begun yet. This week we have a Full Moon in Gemini opposite Mars, forming a Grand Mutable Cross with Saturn and Uranus. While Mercury conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn squaring the Aries Point. Change is here now and the news this week is likely to be reflective of this.

Its Sunday evening now and Venus has just entered Aquarius where she will stay until soon after the new year. We can expect love to get a bit strange or just plain weird, the trick would be to be play it cool and willing to explore your quirks and eccentric side; it could be the key to bringing back the spark in a relationship. In Aquarius, there may be a tendency to be emotionally detached or want to experience more freedom. But Aquarius is the sign of the collective consciousness and it is possible now for us to allow love a little breathing room where it can grow. We are each utterly unique in our gifts, talents, personalities and even how we love, we need to find a balance where each person in a relationship can feel free to express themselves without fear of being judged. Look for unusual solutions to problems, it’s time to think out of the box and get creative. This transit lends its well to ingenuity and creativity — in love, money, art. A radical, seemingly crazy idea may just be your key to success.

Later in the month she will make conjunctions to the North Node, Chiron and Neptune, while other alignments culminate as well. We are entering a powerful time in our relationships and likely to be learning a few bitter-sweet lessons. But we are making soul connections that have the ability to raise us to a higher level of awareness and relating. Aquarius is the sign of collective consciousness; if we can practice acceptance and learn to love each other as we are, we can experience true oneness.

Tomorrow [on Monday,] the Sun sextiles Chiron and over the weekend the Sun (and Mars) made conjunctions to the Great Attractor. Hopefully we’ve been able to make peace with the inherent polarities within ourselves and indeed life. Darkness is nothing but the absence of light. If we want to banish darkness, we need to bring positivity into a situation instead of fighting with shadows. Today’s aspect can be rather healing and any effort made to expand our understanding of a higher purpose behind life will be rewarded with fiery inspiration.

On a personal note, today is also my mothers birthday, who has her Sun conjunct my Neptune. She was also born at the time of the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Libra, that took place in the early 50’s, which is natally in her fifth house of creativity. She has been working hard on the most phenomenal one of a kind pieces of hand carved and painted woodcraft, I have ever seen. She will be having an exhibition of her work in Mumbai at the Nehru Arts Gallery, early February which I plan to attend. I will have more details and images up on the site soon.

Interestingly her Saturn-Neptune conjunction is exactly conjunct my North Node. To me it feels like she makes everything she touches just a little more beautiful and I hope someday I can be a little more like her. ‘Happy Birthday Mamma! I am so proud of you and I love you!’
