The astrology this week brings a new beginning and a burst of ideas, communication, and overall the potential for many shifts in your perspective. These shifts may begin small and continue to grow and multiply over time. There’s also a strong tone around healing via advocacy or by embracing your anger, boundaries, or passions. The astrology this week includes:

New Moon in Gemini on Mon 5/26 at 8:02pm: New beginnings, particularly around your ideas, concepts, perception, and possibly how you see the world. There is something emerging from within that will continue to elaborate and take on form over the next month (lunar cycle), next 6 months (when we have the Full Moon in Gemini), and next year (next New Moon in Gemini).

Mercury in Gemini sextile Neptune-Ceres in Aries: The literal manifestation (Saturn) of a vision (Neptune) is coming into focus. Also, possibly being able to create more space between what you think and feel vs. the impressions of others.

Mercury in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius: Potential for tapping into a deep well of inner resources or resilience.

Mercury conjunct Sun in Gemini: (this is also known as “cazimi”, which means, “in the heart” and has implications of protection) Renewal of your mind, a fresh insight, idea, or resetting of your perspective may happen spontaneously. In particular, this new awareness may be very internal, behind the scenes, or secret in some way.

Ceres in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius: Healing experiences connected to your maternal line, maternal figures, or working with emotional boundaries. Possibly, also processing feelings of grief or loss.

Mars in Leo square Juno in Scorpio: Confronting injustice, standing up those who are marginalized (or validating parts of yourself that have been marginalized), becoming aware of internalized stigmas, working thru valid anger and rage to find your passion, strength, and power.

Venus conjunct Chiron: Repair and restoration in relationships, connecting with your inner healing function, finding a sense of wholeness within Self and others, tending to what ‘hurts’ in relational dynamics, bringing loving care to that which hurts or has hurt in the past.

Venus in Aries sextile Pallas in Aquarius: Connecting to creative, strategic, and purposeful ways of being. Connecting with others based on shared values and common goals.

Reflection Questions:

1. What are you contemplating? What is on your mind?

2. What is emerging from you at this time?

3. How can you keep an open and curious perspective?

Wishing you a week of ease, security, and safety 🦋

The astrology this week has a gravity to it. Saturn moves into Aries to mark a new chapter of life around our experience of time, limits, and responsibilities, as well as our experience of devotion, determination, and confidence. Saturn reminds us to focus on what’s important because our time and energy are some of our most precious and limited resources. In addition, there are many aspects this week that invoke a movement toward being open to new ways of thinking. This astrology this week includes:

Saturn moves into Aries on Sat 5/24: This marks the ending and beginning of a new 3 year phase. Saturn relates to your devotion, diligence, and responsibilities. With Saturn leaving Pisces and entering Aries, we have opportunities to close out one phase and begin fresh with another. This means taking the gifts and wisdom you’ve gained over the last 3 years, and letting go of what once served you but no longer does.

Last Qtr Moon in Aquarius on Tues 5/20 at 4:59am: Releasing stuck-ness, moving thru resistance, finding your path forward.

Sun in Taurus sextile Saturn in Pisces: Finding support thru effort and willful determination.

Mercury conjunct Uranus in Taurus: Awakening of new ideas, concepts, or information that may feel revelatory. Synchronistic changes in your perspective. There may be new information that comes to you (especially via dreams, daydreams, or other symbolic ways) that opens new pathways. Be open to explore.

Mercury in Taurus opposite Juno + square Pallas: You may feel a tension between being true to your own ideas and values vs. what you “should” do, especially in being responsible to other people and what they expect of you in a particular role. This tension may be softened by first considering what you need in order to show up for this role or in order to be present for others.

Sun moves into Gemini on Tues 5/20: Happy Birthday to my Gemini people! This marks our consciousness shifting to a more fluid and multifaceted way of experiencing the world (Gemini). This also may mean an increase in things like sharing ideas with others, more movement, and openness to frequent change.

Sun in Gemini sextile Neptune + trine Pluto: Unconscious material (Neptune + Pluto) may move into consciousness (the Sun). These are soft aspects so you may simply notice subtle intuitions calling for your attention. These can be ignored, but if you notice them and pay attention, you may be called toward something that speaks to you deeply.

Mercury moves into Gemini on Sunday 5/25: Thought process and communications become more fluid and open. You may be more open to transitions and new ideas. Mercury in Gemini also makes a sextile to Saturn which adds a layer of keeping a practical mindset.

Venus in Aries trine Mars in Leo: Passionate, creative, and loving energy. This aspect inspires a sense of craving connection, being drawn toward others, and maybe also a playful sense of competition. You may feel inspired to take action spontaneously.

Ceres conjunct Neptune in Aries: Ceres is a symbol of how we deal with separations and reunions. This aspect shows a time where there’s a potential for healing around our experience of a separation, grief, or loss – especially in dynamics that involve the maternal line or maternal type figures.

Reflection Questions:

1. What is ending and how can you honor this process?

2. How are you being called to think about something differently?

3. What challenges have you endured from March 2023 to now? From thosesituations, what wisdom are you carrying forward?

...

The astrology this week reflects deep feelings! It's a powerful time for getting more acquainted with the true nature of your Self. This week's astrology includes:

Full Moon in Scorpio on Monday, May 12 at 9:56am PT: Illumination of deep feelings that may feel unexpected or revelatory, feeling or craving more freedom or autonomy, a release of long held bondage, feeling at odds or pulled in different directions.

The asteroids Pallas Athene and Juno in aspect to this Full Moon symbolize an added desire to be strategically creative (Pallas Athene) and to protect what is most important to you (Juno).

Sun conjunct Uranus in Taurus: Liberating parts of your Self that have been hidden away or unknown until now, inspired to seek a greater sense of authentic self-expression, interest in eclectic or unconventional ways of being.

Mercury-Mars-Vesta-Pluto grand cross: Passionate thoughts or communication, upwelling of strong feelings or urges about a situation that can no longer be ignored or pushed away, agitation or anger that wants to be voiced. Unconscious material may be revealed. This may be a time of great inspiration where you feel compelled to find the answers to something that’s important to you.

Ceres moves into Aries on Friday, May 16: The asteroid Ceres symbolizes our experience of separating from our family of origin and creating our own unique and distinct life. Themes of interdependence vs. enmeshment in the family line may arise. You may become aware of your desire to be your own person vs. honor your family wishes when Ceres is activated. Ceres will be in Aries for nearly a year, marking an emphasis on prioritizing your independence, courage, and managing anxieties about embarking on your own journey.

Ceres conjunct Saturn-Neptune: Questioning what’s real vs. imposed. What are your thoughts, feelings, desires, and needs? Are there some things you’ve internalized from your family that maybe are not yours to keep (such as expectations, guilt, or values).

...

Reflection Questions:

1. Is there something you’ve been feeling that’s been itching to get out?

2. What do you really want this week?

3. How can you give voice to your feelings?

This week's astrology shows the potential for healing messages to come through. You may also find yourself contemplating deeply on what really matters to you. This week's astrology includes:

- Mercury in Aries conjunct Chiron: Healing words and thoughts, healing messages. These thoughts or messages may arise internally, via dreams, synchronicity, or from an external source . You may feel called to reflect on a situation where there’s discomfort in an effort to bring help to what hurts. Also, receiving words of wisdom or connecting with a teacher or mentor. You may simply find the exact assistance you need (or offer that assistance to others). Also, unconscious thought patterns around self-sacrifice may arise.

- Mercury in Aries aspect to the Pallas-Jupiter trine: Your reflections, thoughts, or communications may bring about a sense of expansion, growth, and victory. Your healing process has an impact on others.

- Mercury moves into Taurus on Sat 5/10: Thoughts, communication, and analysis shifts to furthering your stability, and deepening into what’s important for you right now. This shift also begins Mercury’s square to Pluto in Aquarius, which will be exact next week.

- Mercury square Pluto (exact next week): Symbolizes intense thoughts, communications, or ideas. This can feel like you’re being drawn into a rabbit hole to explore something deep and meaningful to you. It can also be experienced as rumination at times. Allow your intense thoughts to arise, find an outlet for them, and let the energy flow thru you.

- Venus in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius: Support and assistance in your healing journey, a sense of flow when you are real about what your experience is right now, and when you explore the feelings beneath the feelings.

- Mars in Leo square Vesta in Scorpio: Taking action on the things that feel sacred to you, tending to the things that keep you alive, vital, and able to move thru the world every day, bringing your power and enthusiasm to a situation. Mars-Vesta brings together our passion and our ability to hold space for ourselves and others.

Reflection Questions:

1. What insight are you seeking this week?

2. What messages are emerging thru you?

3. What needs regular tending in your life, and how can you bring ritual (sacredness) to it?

The astrology this week is lighter and more liminal than the last several weeks. It invites a re-enchantment with life, especially in matters of your heart. This week's astrology includes:

- Venus moves into Aries on Wed 4/30: An energizing initiation of fresh energy around relationships, love, beauty, healing pursuits, art, creativity. You may feel a readiness to move forward now, especially on relational themes that were on your heart in February and March (since Venus was already in Aries in Feb 5 – March 27 as a part of its retrograde process).

- Venus conjunct Neptune in Aries: Both Saturn and Neptune have been an integral part of this Venus Retrograde this March – April. The conjunction becoming exact this week symbolizes a further re-enchantment of your capacity for love, union, and enjoyment. There’s potential for full immersion into relational or creative things . . . as well as possibilities for enmeshment, blurring of boundaries, or illusions to arise. Neptune often helps us see our idealizations first by experiencing them unconsciously (i.e. being “in it” first). Over time we get to see people and situations as they are (rather than how we want them to be). There’s beauty in the ideal as well as the reality when we hold it softly.

- First Quarter Moon in Leo on Sun 5/4 at 6:52am PT: This point in the lunar cycle marks a crossroads for decisions. You may feel drawn to focus or reorient your energy toward what is most pressing right now. This First Quarter Moon in Leo emphasizes your relationship to giving and receiving affection, attention, and your magnetic pull on others. It provides opportunities to embody your inner spark. This First Quarter Moon also punctuates the dissipating Sun-Mars-Pluto t-square, so there may be additional insights or clarity around your autonomy, power, and control.

- Pluto Stations Retrograde: This is a subtle component of the astrology this week. Pluto (along with the other outer planets) is retrograde about half the year. It’s retrograde means that over the summer and fall, Pluto will slowly and slightly shift back a few degrees in the zodiac to about 0 degrees Aquarius. This symbolizes a concentration of Pluto in this place, meaning that any transits to Pluto will be more concrete, slow, steady, and take time to integrate.

- Sun-Uranus in Taurus opposite Vesta-Juno in Scorpio: Bringing light, liberation, and awakening to the things that you are devoted to.

Reflection Questions:

1.   What is your heart telling you now?

2.   How do you tend to idealize people or situations?

3.   How can you embody both strength and flexibility?

This week's astrology deepens some themes we've been experiencing over the last week and month. The astrology symbolizes a process where we continue to encounter shadow (unconscious parts) of ourselves. This is a process of allowing more of yourself to come forward. This process is a rebirth - possibility involving labor pains, relief, existential contemplation, and release into the unknown of a new beginning . This week's astrology includes:- Sun-Mars-Pluto t-square: Further clarifying and amplifying patterns of power, autonomy to act, control, deep healing that can unfold via conscious awareness of these issues- Sun in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius: Restructuring ego, identity, and relationship to what masculinity means to you, composting what may be false identity- Mars in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius: Empowering your righteous rage, exposing new parts of self that are connected to your enthusiasm for life, and your boundaries- New Moon in Taurus on Sunday, April 27 at 12:31pm PT: Planting new seeds in your psyche around what you need/want to live, grow, exist with security and stability . . . something new is pushing thru the soil- Venus conjunct Saturn & North Node in Pisces: Considering relational agreements, boundaries, and non-negotiable qualities in relationship. Also contemplating your values and how you connect with beauty, love, and pleasure in your life.

This week's astrology focuses on how we can reclaim parts of ourselves that have been disowned or distorted via unconscious processes. There is a strong theme of action, enthusiasm, expression, and also strong activation. This week's astrology includes:

- Mercury moves into Aries (and will conjunct Neptune in Pisces & sextile Pluto in Aquarius): Quick thinking, inspired talks, rapid insights, a shift in your perception around issues that have been uncertain or ambiguous for the past month or two. Watch for changes in your dreams, thoughts, & daydreams - and what they may be saying to you now.

Possibility for unconscious patterns to arise around power, manipulation, shame, or control. Notice what activates you and give your feelings space to exist. Also symbolizes things like occultism, deep emotional healing, and underworld journeys that bring you closer to your true self.

- Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius: Emotional connection to the deeper more intimate parts of yourself and your authentic nature. Deciding what you want to focus on now that is most important to you.

- Juno Asteroid (retrograde) moves back into Scorpio: Reconnecting with your inner resilience - especially around issues of intimacy, bonding deeply with other people, and how you move through the varied challenges of long-term commitments. Juno in Scorpio is about the dance between distance and closeness in relationships; and how we can feel safe enough to be vulnerable and depend on others.
