What magic is this week?!
Some pretty potent magic folks!
I am away this week, so will fill in the week as we move along - I will add to THIS post, so pop back in - and I will get up a BIG Eclipse post, too, of course.
MONDAY - Venus sextile North Node
WEDNESDAY - Mercury sextile Jupiter, Venus conjunct Neptune
THURSDAY - Mercury trine Pluto
SATURDAY - New Moon in Taurus Eclipse, Venus conjunct Jupiter
SUNDAY - Venus sextile Pluto
MONDAY - Venus, at 22 degrees Pisces sextiles the North Node in Taurus
Venus, exalted in Pisces and ruler of Taurus, sextiles (opportunity) the North Node in Taurus while she squares Ceres in Gemini at 22 degrees.
Ceres in Gemini is smart nurturing, talking things out, having choices/multiple ways to feel better. Imagine the funny, fast mom multi-tasking with her phone (hands-free of course) while driving the kids to school. They are nurtured through her AIR. Her ability to pivot, do two things at once - her smarts. Maybe there aren't any homemade cookies on the table awaiting the kiddies after school, but there is a probably a box of Oreos and some lively CONVERSATION.
As Venus moves into her square with Ceres she is also sextiling the North Node - way forward - and trining the South - where we are/what needs to go. Something about the tension/frustration of this square allows what needs to go to leave smoothly/unwind and the best path forward to open up. This is Pisces/Gemini, so maybe something about compassion, forgiveness, universal/unconditional love, magic, God - rubbing up against our need for logic, answers, to make a decision. Ceres can stir up mother/daughter issues, season of life situations, the need for complicated compromises. There is something uncomfortable/challenging here that allows us to release old baggage/dead weight and open to something more new, simple, GROWING. Note- trines to the South Node make it easy - and Pisces is extra slippery - to slide back into something old and comfortaable that is no longer working/isn't good for us anymore instead of letting it go, maybe something kind of self-sabotagey (not a word, of course, but it should be). Keep this in mind.
At the same time we have the Moon, at 5 degrees Pisces sextling the Taurus Sun - this month's Waning Sextile as we prepare for this weekend's BIG Solar Eclipse in Taurus. Pisces/Taurus. Water and earth. 'Making the dream' into something realistic/practical or adding some magic to the realistic, practical nitty-gritty. Taurus pulls in our money, values, resources and self-esteem. Sextiles are subtle. Easy to miss when the portals are open and they are happening, but provide potent CREATIVE OPPORTUNITIES.
Things fall into place naturally.
TUESDAY - UPDATED - The Moon joined the Pisces party yesterday. In Pisces we are nourished by our imagination, spirituality, art, music, the past, going with the flow. Our boundaries are more porous, so we are more likely to pick up other people's moods, thoughts, colds. Her only aspect today is an opportunistic sextile to change -maker Uranus (in Taurus).
Changes are more easily integrated. We are merging with the future.
Pallas, nearing the end of Aries squares Pluto, nearing the end of Capricorn. Even with all this Pisces, can you feel that? The need to assert/start/win/maybe even OVER-POWER. That last one being the extreme end of this. We could be acting more obsessively, compulsively.
Or will Pisces dilute this, too?
Pallas/Pluto, powered up by a tense/back against the wall square, is good energy to make plans/strategies to deal with something we have been avoiding/maybe even something that scares the hell out of us.
WEDNESDAY - UPDATED - Mercury, at 27 degrees Taurus, sextiles Jupiter in Pisces, Venus meets Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces
BIG ENERGIES TODAY.
The Moon, finishing up in Pisces today, meets up with Venus, Neptune and Jupiter. Then sextiles Mercury (in Taurus) and goes void off a sextile to Pluto (in Cappy). Everything is FLOWING/blending now.
We are likely to be very EMOTIONAL.
Before the Moon sextiles Mercury, Mercury will sextile Jupiter. This is optimism. Confidence. The dream and the practical words/ideas to make the dream REAL, working TOGETHER.
Words are BIG, expansive, connecting.
This is also the day when Venus meets up with Neptune.
Love. Unconditional love. Lost in love.
Psychic abilities. Not knowing where one thing ends and another begins. Here is where sacrifices can pay off, but we need to be clear on what we want, so we are lining up with the right things - not toss ourselves onto a burning pyre. Today's Taurus and Cappy should ground this somewhat, at least for more lunar-leaning people, but the Piscean waters today ARE DEEP.
Be compassionate. Forgiving. Create art. Listen to music. Inspiration is EVERYWHERE. We are attracting what we have lined up with without the usual limits.
The impossible is possible.
Just keep in mind idealized versions of things are what we are seeing now and everything won't pan out to be exactly as it appears. That's OK and as it should be.
We have to dream the things into being FIRST.
THURSDAY - UPDATED - Mercury, at 28 degrees Taurus trines Pluto in Capricorn
Mercury is walking degrees he/she will re-walk during her upcoming Gemini/Taurus retrograde.
We are having conversations/communications/situations/ideas we will be going back over and dealing with AGAIN. Things aren't settled, even if they look like they are.
Today he makes a smooth trine (brakes off) to powerful Pluto in Capricorn.
Conversations/information can feel intense. We are looking at what is really going on beneath the words, the balance sheet, the hood. Conversations/ideas become more powerful. REALITY can be transformed. Collectively we are talking about our money, our values, our resources, our self-esteem working with our goals, voice in the world, responsibilities, authority. Personally, this is about your Taurus house having a direct line to your Capricorn house. Trines are a smooth flow. No beating our head against the wall, exhaustive effort with this one. Something just slips into place. CLICK. We've got it. We know it.
These are earth signs, so keep things practical/do-able. Taurus is the sign of our North Node - best direction forward now - and Mercury is STILL answering to an exalted Venus in Taurus, but not for much longer.
How can something be made more simple? Where is the new growth? What seeds need to go into the ground?
FRIDAY - UPDATED - Mercury into Gemini, Pluto stations retrograde
Mercury (communication, ideas, local life and travel, transportation, sibling issues) moves into his/her home sign of Gemini. We will feel a difference in the days ahead as information and communications switch from turtle pace to rabbit. Increased choices, conversations and ideas will start to flow. We can CHANGE OUR MIND, SO CAN EVERYONE ELSE. We won't put everything to use, Gemini can be rather chatty, so some stuff will just move in and out, but the change in momentum will be noticeable. Keep in mind with Gemini there are more questions than answers and the information might be sometimes too quick and unreliable. But easy, adaptable conversations, suitable for the moment, can pull everything forward now.
On May 10th, Mercury will station retrograde in Gemini - we are already walking degrees he/she (we) will walk two more times. He will get to 4 degrees Gemini, and stop - WAIT, WE NEED TO RETHINK THIS - then get all the back to 26 degrees Taurus on June 3rd. On June 18th, Mercury will be back where she started - 4 degrees Gemini - and the retrograde cycle will be over. We'll have decided/chosen. We'll know what we know.
Mercury's retrrograde in his home sign of means technical/paperwork/communication/transportation situations - whatever we have going on will be subject to this back and forth kind of REVIEW, it won't be a one and done. That's OK - this is synchronistically timed and as it should be. Work the retrograde process. Don't rush things.
Life is about to get very BUSY, anyway, and Mercury retrograde means we will be doing some things OVER AGAIN, this can't totally be helped, we will talk about this more in the weekly on Sunday.
Pluto stationing retrograde is a BIG collective deal, but not always a big personal deal, unless you are a Scorpio rising or have planets/points very near 28 degrees of Capricorn or the other cardinal signs. We will talk about this in its own post next week.
The Moon is in Aries - we are nourished/nurtured by action, physical movement, taking the initiative, time spent alone, time spent with men, passion, anger. She will sextile Saturn this morning - good for goal-oriented action, getting things FINISHED, stepping into responsibilities, working with authority.
The Moon will go void at 5:38PM EDT off an intense square to Pluto, who, remember has just stationed retrograde and is very powerful, so no dark alleys. You are not a cat. We may get an infinite number of lives, but not nine this go-round. Argumentative-type of situations can flare up out of nowhere, so keep this in mind. This is a kind of CLEAN-UP before tomorrow's powerful Solar Eclipse as the Moon meets the Sun, which we will talk about in a BIG post on Saturday night.
SATURDAY - New Moon Solar Eclipse in Taurus with ruler Venus conjunct Jupiter!!!
SUNDAY - Venus, at 28 degrees Pisces, trines Pluto in Capricorn
