Weekly Astrology Forecast for Creatives | Week of May 10th - May 16th, 2021 - important information & conversations about our future, uncomfortable action in a new direction, healing generational wounds, New Moon, something firms up, requires some give and take

 

 

This is a BIG week with alot going on. 

 

Pay attention to news/information/conversations that point you in a new direction or might open a new door (this might have already happened, but is exact on Monday). We will be dealing with some very old wounds this week - let's not be careless with ourselves or other people now - we are all dealing with generations and generations of procrastinated rubbish. 

 

There's a powerful New Moon (we talked about her HERE) and the Sun will sextile Neptune (opportunity) at the same time Jupiter comes home to Pisces (expect a BIG post). 

 

What a week! 

 

Mercury and Mars are big players this week. They are personal planets, so this is playing out in our personal lives as well as the collective. Mercury meets the North Node - the information/conversation comes in that leans us toward the future, PAY ATTENTION, also there is something healing here, maybe around our ability to take care of ourselves/be ourselves. Next Mars (as us), maybe based on the information, conversation, idea, needs to take uncomfortable action that is future focused/liberating/maybe around a values/resources/financial situation. Then Mercury trines Saturn, so news comes in/or maybe a conversation with authority firms things up or limits our choices in a way that is a stabilizing/focusing thing. Finally, Mars inconjuncts Saturn, so some kind of give-and-take/rock and hard place with whatever this 'new' is. Something will play out kind of like this, but whether it is an important something or not so much for you, will depend on your natal and progressed charts' relationships to these aspects.

Know I am writing about aspects when they are most exact - you might feel them strongest as they are applying (earlier) or even waning (a bit later) depending on how they are interacting with your chart!

 

MONDAY - MERCURY CONJUNCTS NORTH NODE | Gemini, 10 degrees | MERCURY SEXTILES CHIRON | Gemini/Aries, 10 degrees

Mercury, at 10 degrees meets up with the North Node of Fate. With Mercury, strong and stable in his/her home sign, conjunct the North Node information could come in/a comversation happens that points us in a new direction (or confirms our course). Maybe it draws our attention to something we need to follow-up on. PAY ATTENTION. Be out and about. Talk/keep things light. There could be more than one idea/more than one offer/more than one way forward here. Note in two days Mercury is going to meet up with Saturn in a smooth aspect, so this might be when something firms up or a conversation with authority happens. This could also be when today's choices get limited (the limiting will be a good thing). At the same time, Mercury is sextiling Chiron, so this will all likely be part of the same thing - news/information/conversations/words (this can also be about a local community, sibling, transportation or tech issue) are healing very old wounds. We can feel better about our vulnerabilities.

 

TUESDAY - MARS SQUARES CHIRON | Cancer/Aries, 11 degrees | MARS SEXTILES URANUS | Cancer/Taurus, 11 degrees | NEW MOON IN TAURUS, 21 degrees

This is the day of our big NEW MOON - the post is HERE. This is also the day, and this is, of course, part of the New Moon's story - Mars in Cancer squares Chiron at 11 degrees Aries at the same time sextiling Uranus at 11 degrees Taurus. 

 

So, maybe here is where, although quite uncomfortable for us with Mars in sensitive Cancer, we need to stand up for ourselves/be ourselves/do it ourselves in order to break free of constraints/fixed situations or in order to create new financial opportunities for ourselves/our family. Happening at the time of a powerful New Moon in stabilizing Taurus conjunct independent Black Moon Lilith will help, but can also activate feelings of being like an outcast/not fitting in. This might be about the need for us to take new/uncomfortable action about the news/conversation/information from yesterday. 

 

Mars/Chiron here can also energize old anger, and with Mars in Cancer, it might come out in passive-aggressive or unhealthy ways. Notice when you are triggered - feelings are out of proportion to the situation - know this is activating an old story (likely maternal) that you may or may not remember, but are still carrying. Emotional wounds are ONLY incomplete cycles of experience. Nothing more. Nothing less. If something, again that is out of proportion to the situation at hand, is producing anxiety know this thing you are actually fearing HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. Take care of yourself. Take new or liberating action. Breathe.

WEDNESDAY - MERCURY TRINES SATURN | Gemini/Aquarius, 13 degrees

 

Mercury at 13 degrees Gemini  - yes, at 13 degrees already, he's in his home signs and he's flying! He will station retrograde here later in the month and we get to do this Merc/Gemini thing all over again (this will be our only pass over 13 degrees though) - trines Saturn at 13 degrees Aquarius. Here are quick and smart conversations/words/ideas in smooth flow with authority/the future. Mercury in Gemini can have us all over the place, but here is a nice trine to settle us down/maybe limit our choices in a way that makes things easier. This can also be some kind of official confirmation of what Mercury/North Node earlier in the week brought to our attention.

THURSDAY - SUN SEXTILES NEPTUNE | Taurus/Pisces, 22 degrees| JUPITER INTO PISCES!!!

The Sun sextiles Neptune on the day Jupiter moves into Neptune ruled Pisces. The Sun sextile Neptune shines a light on a dream/ancestral story-line (likely through father's lineage). Our intuition is strong. Fixed earth and mutable water =  making the dream real. Neptune in Pisces has been showing us how we numb out, escape, dream our life away, avoid reality. Also how to create through our imagination, love without boundaries, connect with others, connect with our ancestors/higher power/God. Neptune in connection with earthy Taurus brings repressed/ancestral emotions into our consciousness/into our physical bodies and lives. The Sun sextile Neptune as Jupiter starts his journey through Pisces is a good thing - good for manifesting a dream/something that requires us to unlimit our thinking using a practical/solid process.

 

Expansive/hopeful Jupiter, finally getting out from under the thumb (at least temporarily) of serious-as-a-heart-attack Saturn, moves (until mid-summer) into Pisces - his ancient rulership where he, too, is very strong - for a preview of next year's journey. Expect a BIG post!

 

FRIDAY - MARS INCONJUNCTS SATURN | Cancer/Aquarius, 13 degrees

Mars, at 13 degrees Cancer, inconjuncts Saturn at 13 degrees Aquarius. Here is where our individual efforts, maybe centered on home/family/renovation/home or family business/mom/mothering are at odds with the group/the rules/the future. This is a rock and hard place. Pushing just ensures we hit a brick wall. Adjustments are needed. Re-calibrate. This can also be something about Cancer's tendency toward possessiveness coming up against Aqua's detachment/need for freedom. Cancer, may be emotional, but the mama-bear energy is also able to make hard choices/tough decisions which can bring out the intelligence/logic of Aquarius (maybe one way to make this work?).
