New Moon in Taurus
Thursday, May 13, 6:04 pm PDT, 9:04 pm EDT
The New Moon in Taurus is usually a time to lay down solid plans, a pattern that is supported by stabilizing Saturn's harmonious trine to this Sun-Moon conjunction. However, tense squares to the lunation from Mars and Neptune spur fantasies and risk taking uncharacteristic of earthy Taurus. While we may engage in frustrating combat or get lost in clouds of illusion, imagination can lift us above the limits of current realities and instigate creative activities that expand our horizons.
Venus in Cancer
Wednesday, May 19, 6:05 pm PDT, 9:05 pm EDT
The love planet's shift into self-protective Cancer puts an emphasis on safety and comfort in relationships. Heightened sensitivity can magnify the power of love and also dramatize insecurities. Drawing closer with those we already know may be easier than making new connections. A desire to revisit familiar places and return to cozy old habits, though, is only helpful if we bring a fresh perspective that connects the past with the future.
Sun in Gemini
Thursday, May 20, 8:34 pm PDT, 11:34 pm EDT
The Sun in Gemini fills us with curiosity that allows minds to wander into new and strange places. This is a chance to let go and lighten up by recognizing that there are many ways to deal with life. Collecting data and exploring ideas with wide-ranging conversations can stimulate thinking yet may also distract us from meeting our obligations. Still, it is beneficial to be adaptable enough that we're able to work around obstacles instead of hunkering down in power struggles.
Jupiter opposite Saturn
Saturday, May 22, 10:38 pm PDT, Sunday, May 23, 1:38 am EDT
The first of three oppositions between the planets of expansion and contraction contrasts the boundless faith of Jupiter in Pisces with the focused pragmatism of Saturn in Virgo to reframe long-term plans. These aspects will return on August 16, 2010 and March 28, 2011 to provide a more strategic view of professional and other major life issues. Moods can shift between hope and fear as we seek a new relationship between idealism and reality. Moves based on careful consideration and executed with patience can provide a greater deal of control over future events.
Full Moon in Sagittarius
Thursday, May 27, 4:07 pm PDT, 7:07 pm EDT
The Full Moon in Sagittarius inspires us to aim for the stars. This contrasts with the Sun in Gemini's focus on more immediate concerns. Looking in both directions at the same time can be overwhelming, so it's helpful to learn how to shift the mind's focus from present issues to long-range matters. Discerning the difference between facts and opinions helps to reduce arguments and sift through waves of information to find the most meaningful data.
Uranus in Aries
Thursday, May 27, 6:48 pm PDT, 9:48 pm EDT
2010-2017
The planet of revolution makes its first foray into pioneering Aries in almost 84 years to spark an awakening of human consciousness. We get a quick taste of what the future may bring before Uranus backs into sensitive Pisces on August 13 prior to returning to Aries on March 11, 2011. A sense of urgency rises with unexpected events, both cataclysmic and revelatory, that seem to be accelerating the pace of daily life.
Saturn Direct from Virgo to Libra
Sunday, May 30
The forward turn of structuring Saturn increases our grip on reality. We can regain traction on projects that have slipped beyond our control since Saturn turned retrograde in late January. Self-trust is the foundation stone that leads to the discipline and commitment needed to run our lives more efficiently.
Neptune Retrograde
Monday, May 31
The planet of ideals turns inward so we can reevaluate recent fantasies and figure out which are due for rejection and which may be applicable in the real world. Holding onto an old dream is draining unless there are concrete steps that can be taken to give it some substance.
Jupiter in Aries
Saturday, June 5, 11:29 pm PDT, Sunday, June 6, 2:29 am EDT
Optimistic Jupiter's jump into innovative Aries fires up fresh concepts and awakens enthusiasm. A desire to learn from direct experience, though, makes it more difficult to trust others' opinions. Clashing ideologies can be destructive, requiring some willingness to compromise to avoid heightening conflict. Jupiter returns to Pisces on September 8, initiating a period of reflection before returning to Aries on January 22, 2011 when new rockets of aspiration will be ready to launch.
Mars in Virgo
Sunday, June 6, 11:11 pm PDT, Monday, June 7, 2:11 am EDT
The warrior planet finally ends almost eight months in creative and proud Leo with its entry into service-oriented Virgo. Refining techniques and developing tools that increase efficiency are vital now. However, a tendency to be more finicky about methods could amp up tension at work. Remember, the ultimate goal is to be more productive, which may require flexibility about the best way to get the job done.
Jupiter conjunct Uranus
Tuesday, June 8, 4:25 am PDT, 7:25 am EDT
This union electrifies minds with wild new perceptions that can alter our views about reality. While explosive events are more likely now, this aspect energizes intellects and increases intuition. It's something like getting upgraded computer chips in our brains that can process information at higher speeds. Brilliant breakthroughs and inventions are its gifts but overheated minds can explode with anger if reason is burned up in firestorms of opinion. This conjunction will repeat on September 10, 2010 and January 4, 2011, providing two more rounds of intellectual discovery.
Mercury in Gemini
Wednesday, June 9, 10:41 pm PDT, Thursday, June 10, 1:41 am EDT
The communication planet's entry into its airy home sign facilitates the flow of information. Thoughts tend to wander off track with Mercury in mutable Gemini, requiring more effort to maintain concentration. This transit enlivens conversations with curiosity and intellectual agility that can help overcome extremist ideas.
