This week’s astrology supports strengthening our discernment, cultivating capacity to speak up for what we want and don’t want, while also being able to hold complexity and change. 

Pluto is retrograde in Aquarius from May 4-October 13. This week (Monday) starts with Ceres conjunct the North Node in Pisces, and Mercury in Aries sextile Jupiter in Gemini. Venus in Aries will sextile Pluto on Tuesday, while Mercury is conjunct with Chiron in Aries. Venus opposes the waxing gibbous moon in Libra on Thursday and, on Saturday, Mercury will enter Taurus.
