May 13-20, 2024

This week we have Mercury coming into Taurus and squaring Pluto in Aquarius. Perhaps an evolving story from May 1st, when Venus came into Taurus and squared Pluto? What’s underneath the need for communication to slow down? Are we missing any important info? The Sun meets up with Jupiter, makes a sextile with Neptune, before entering Gemini. This feels like energy that needs to expand, create, and then take flight. 

May 13- ( please check last week’s blog for info on transits on this day)

Sun conjunct Uranus in Taurus at 23 degrees- an “aha” moment, noticing where it’s hard to be grounded.

Venus in Taurus sextile Saturn in Pisces at 17 degrees- notice the relationships that are worth your time and effort.

Mercury goes into Taurus- Communications slow down! Which could be a relief after Mercury’s long stay in Aries. What did you learn since Mercury entered Aries on March 10th? Take that information and put it to practical use. If what you heard, spoke about, or perceived was too quick or changed many times, Mercury in Taurus, will help settle the energies down. It’s time to be methodical in all communications. We will appreciate patient, realistic, and reliable intel.

May 17

Mercury in Taurus square Pluto RX in Aquarius at 2 degrees- this is an intense energy when it comes to our communications, thoughts, and perceptions. We may find ourselves going down all the rabbit holes. Mercury is considered a psychopomp, the only god who could go to the Underworld and back. Hades (Pluto) gave him his helmet–which is the helmet of invisibility so that Mercury could come and go without being noticed.  But, let’s notice now where our communications are stuck, stagnant, or where we stubbornly dig in our heels. Is it time for practicality or a time to see where things are no longer working? Do we feel resourced in our life? Could another innovative POV help us get out of any rut?

May 18

Sun conjunct Jupiter in Taurus at 28 degrees- We may feel a sense of optimism or hope. We may have some experiences that make us feel stable and grounded. This could be a great time to schedule time with loved ones…make a sumptuous meal together, go for a walk, enjoy a picnic together, spend time in the garden, anything that makes you feel connected to the earth and all her abundance. Conversely, be aware of “rose-colored glasses” moments or being blind to your nature or others’. 

May 19

Sun in Taurus sextile Neptune in Pisces at 29 degrees- This could be a great energy to collaborate on any creative endeavor you want to dive into. If you’re working with someone else, you may find it goes very smoothly. Maybe you create the next viral meme or dance craze.  You’ll need to meet the energy halfway though, so don’t let an opportunity go by, if you’re looking to connect. 

Mars conjunct North Node in Aries at 15 degrees - This could be an echo from the Solar Eclipse from April 8th. It could be an angsty or angry reminder in some way. 

May 20

Sun moves into Gemini- The Sun comes into Gemini until June 20th. It is time to get curious, to socialize, to talk, to flirt, to appreciate learning and gathering information. This energy always reminds me of preschool, which I loved. One minute it was playing dress-up, the next was finger painting, then it was a snack, then it was time for the playground, then it was circle time, reading a book, music class, learning about letters and numbers, then a nap, then up to flit off to the next activity. You may feel an increase in energy and social activities. Be careful to not overload yourself and watch for moments of FOMO or spacing some activities you planned.

**My intention with these weekly astrology reports is something like looking at a weather app. If you know it will rain, you’ll bring an umbrella. Awareness can help us navigate the Astro “weather” too. I  hope to share this information in an easily digestible way (not too much jargon).  Please read this information knowing that these energies can appear in higher or lower forms.
