We have a lot of action this week and are ramping up to some even bigger changes next week (stay tuned) so expect things to be heating up. Mercury is speeding a long at about 2 degrees a day which is a very fast pace for him so our thoughts will be racing and sometimes we might speak before we have thought everything through. Make a choice to rise above the tumult and choose your thoughts and words deliberately this week.
Monday May 7th ~ What’s going on today: Moon in Aquarius Mercury square Pluto Venus square Neptune What it means: When Mercury squares Pluto there is this feeling of really excellent mystery theater going. What have you been trying to figure out? What are your hunches telling you? Sometimes under this aspect we may because suspicious, whether that suspicion is well founded or not, and so be careful if you are tempted to make some sort of accusation. Another way this energy can show up is through confronting the shadow. Are deep feelings coming to the surface that have been hiding? It’s a good time to deal with those buried feelings, even if it might not be easy. Venus square Neptune is an aspect I like to call “knight on the white horse syndrome”. What I mean by that is often as people we give our power away and think we need someone to swoop in and save the day when the truth is we have the power to act for ourselves. If you are waiting for someone else to act, or if you are putting off a part of your life until something else happens, i.e. I will be happy when I am _______ (thin, rich, in a relationship, working at a new job, etc.) the same applies. Be happy today and then do those things, too. Don’t wait for something else to come save you. Questions to ask yourself: What have you been trying to figure out? What are your hunches telling you? Are deep feelings coming to the surface that have been hiding? Are you waiting to be “rescued”? Is there something you can do today to take control of the issue instead of waiting to be “saved”? Tuesday May 8th ~ What’s going on today: Moon in Aquarius void-of-course at 8:29 PM MDT Moon enters Pisces at 9:11 PM MDT Sun opposite Jupiter What it means: When the sun opposes Jupiter we have our essence on one side (the sun) and optimistic expansion (Jupiter) on the other side. This can be a great aspect to help us regain hope in working toward our goals. Sometimes with this aspect we can meet another person who represents the Jupitierean principle. On the positive side they might be energetic, optimistic, uplifting, inspiring. Or on the negative side they might be pompous, overbearing, judgmental, excessive. If you meet Jupiter today take a look at how he shows up in your life and see if you can’t find a way to make this meeting more beneficial, whether it is a positive or negative one initially. Questions to ask yourself: How can I be more optimistic? How can I focus on being expansive with my life without being excessive? What do I have to teach the world (and myself)? Wednesday May 9th ~ What’s going on today: Moon in Pisces When the moon is in Pisces we feel more able to go with the flow. We can connect with the cosmic current and feel as though we are part of a larger whole. You can use the energy today to connect with your intuition and with spirit. Thursday May 10th ~ What’s going on today: Moon in Pisces Another day with the moon in Pisces and we are completing the cosmic cycle. Are there things in your life that can be wrapped up before you start something new tomorrow after the moon moves into the first sign of the zodiac, Aries? Friday May 11th ~ What’s going on today: Moon in Pisces void-of-course at 3:02 AM MST Moon enters Aries at 6:40 AM MDT Sun trine Pluto What it means: A few days ago, on Monday, we had Mercury square Pluto and today we have the sun trine Pluto. Whatever issues arose on Monday with the square we now have the ability to integrate into ourselves in a positive manner. If you are uncomfortable with your own shadow side this is a great day to do acceptance and forgiveness work toward releasing any resentment or guilt you might be dealing with. Questions to ask yourself: What secrets do I have that I can work on accepting instead of rejecting? Do I carry resentment or anger toward myself or others that can be forgiven? Saturday May 12th ~ What’s going on today: Moon in Aries Mercury square Mars What it means: With Mercury square Mars it could mean anything from “angry words” to “willpower to overcome obstacles”. When we have Mercury squares I personally like to use the daily energy to focus on mindfulness and to pay attention to my thoughts and words. If they are harsh, critical or negative I work on making helpful adjustments. I believe in the power of our thoughts and words. A day like this can help reveal where we can improve our mindset and our communication in order to create a better life in general. Questions to ask yourself: What are your most frequent thought patterns? Is there a way to shift mindset to be more positive and optimistic? Sunday May 13th ~ What’s going on today: Moon in Aries void-of-course at 12:05 PM MDT Moon enters Taurus at 12:15 PM MDT Mercury conjunct Uranus Mercury enters Taurus What it means: Next week we have one of the biggest changes to happen this year astrologically when Uranus enters the sign of Taurus. Today we have a small preview when Mercury conjoins Uranus at the end of Aries and then Mercury moves into the sign of Taurus ahead of Uranus. Mercury and Uranus together can be shocking, electric thinking and speaking. If you want to zap someone with your words today is the day. As I mentioned above we can utilize Mercury aspects to improve the thoughts we think and the words we say and today’s energy supports this as well. We might shock ourselves (Uranus) by what comes out at first but later as Mercury moves into Taurus we can take the next two weeks while Mercury is in the sign of Taurus to choose our thoughts more deliberately. Questions to ask yourself: Do the thoughts that pop into my head or the words that come out of my mouth shock myself or others? How can I regulate my thinking to be both insightful and deliberate? The thoughts we think and the words we say create the reality we experience. This week allows for practice to notice those internal patterns and to let go of things that aren’t working for us inside of ourselves in order to create what we truly desire for ourselves and our lives. Remember that it is our mind and we should have some measure of control regarding what goes on in there! Photo by Miles Storey on Unsplash
