5-30 thru 6-5

All times given are Eastern Standard Time; adjust accordingly for other time zones.

Friday, May 30

Moon in Aries Trine Mars in Leo 11:30 AM
Very good time to take action regarding some creative endeavor. With all this fiery energy inspiring our instincts and fueling our drive, this aspect should be a solid opportunity to really forge something new.


Saturday, May 31

Moon in Aries Square Jupiter in Capricorn 4:34 AM
It's possible that an impulsive instinct could be a challenge to a more practical wisdom that believes the right course is to be prudent. While Jupiter is not entirely comfortable in Capricorn, it's also possible that, alternately, a stodgier stance on situations could hinder an adventuresome spirit that knows just what it wants. Take a look at yourself and see which is more likely.

Moon Void of Course 8:54 AM

Moon Enters Taurus 6:18 PM
Look for work that takes patience and a solid feel for the physical. Expect sensual pleasures to be that much more enticing in this Venus-ruled sign.

Moon in Taurus Trine Saturn in Virgo 10:13 PM
Good chance that we can benefit from a disciplined sense of duty as the Moon and Saturn sit in these two earthy signs. Practicality and order will likely win out over other modes.

Sunday, June 1

Moon in Taurus Square Mars in Leo 2:39 PM
Decisive action could be hampered by a slower moving impulse in one's gut with this aspect. Alternately, an internal need for simplicity and comfort could experience discomfort from an ego-based desire for drama or attention.

Monday, June 2

Moon in Taurus Trine Jupiter in Capricorn 4:42 AM
The more plodding impulse mentioned above and the need for physical comfort is better supported at this time as the planet of joy and good fortune sits in positive aspect to our inner being.

Moon Void of Course 9:02 AM

Moon Enters Gemini 6:06 PM
Final decisions could be much more difficult than usual in this sign dominated by whirling mental energies. Expressiveness and intellectual curiosity should both be forefront in our worldly interactions.

Moon in Gemini Square Saturn in Virgo 10:02 PM
Don't expect to be able to easily work out the details of any projects or situations as mentally manic Gemini and fastidiously meticulous Virgo work their influences over our sense of discipline and problem solving. Judgmental behaviors may block responsiveness in our interactions with others.

Tuesday, June 3

Moon Conjunct Venus in Gemini 12:53 PM
There's rarely a more opportune time to be social than with the Moon and Venus together in chatty Gemini. While any relationships started are not guaranteed to last, the opening conversations should be very energetic and interesting.

Moon Conjunct Sun in Gemini (New Moon) 3:22 PM
Have a chat with yourself about what's going on within. Don't expect any solid outcomes or decisions, but be ready for all sorts of things to come up. As always, the New Moon is a brilliant time for introspection and soul searching.

Wednesday, June 4

Moon Conjunct Mercury in Gemini 12:05 AM
The restless adaptability of Gemini continues to exert influence over us as we experience the third conjunction in a row in this airy, intelligent sign. Here in this aspect we can look for a mental focus well attuned to intuition and emotion. Our brain and our gut are looking at things pretty much exactly the same way.

Moon Void of Course 8:08 AM

Moon Enters Cancer 5:16 PM
The Moon's influence is strengthened in nurturing Cancer, the sign of motherhood. Expect people's emotions to be the ruling force and most common mode of expression. Sentimentality and sensitivity will be on the rise. Beware of emotional wounds, both given and received.

Friday, May 23, 2008

5-23 thru 5-29

Sorry this is late, but there are no major aspects to report today, Friday, May 23. So, no big harm done, hopefully.

All times given are Eastern Standard Time; adjust accordingly for other time zones.

Saturday, May 24

Moon Conjunct Jupiter in Capricorn 8:03 AM
Very strong alignment between our emotions and our sense of joy and good fortune. With this conjunction in earthy Capricorn, look for practical, material avenues for your enjoyment.

Moon Void of Course 8:26 AM

Venus Enters Gemini 6:52 PM
Thoughts and feelings about love and relationships may gain a more analytical tinge, though we shouldn't expect much decisiveness regarding that analysis. With Venus in hyper Gemini, there could be a whirl of mental energy roiling in and around our hearts.

Moon Enters Aquarius 11:51 PM
Look toward progressive idealism but try to avoid being too stuck on your own way forward. People may be friendly, but not necessarily in an intimate way. Outgoing self-expression could be high.

Sunday, May 25

Moon in Aquarius Trine Venus in Gemini 12:25 AM
With the Moon and Venus in these airy, intellectual signs, this aspect could provide a good opportunity to do some productive meditating on our love lives, whether regarding an actual person we adore or just simply the things we apply great appreciation to.

Moon in Aquarius Trine Sun in Gemini 9:04 AM
Just as with our hearts in the above aspect, here there is a strong support for intellectualizing around issues to do with our egos.

Moon in Aquarius Opposite Mars in Leo 5:02 PM
Towards the end of all the mental examination suggested above, there may come a slight bump in the path provided by prideful Leo Mars. Take this as an opportunity to see how a too strongly fixed drive could alternately help or hinder your emotional vectors.

Monday, May 26

Mercury Goes Retrograde 11:48 AM
As always, these Mercury Retrograde periods require a good deal of double and triple checking of communications and writings. Avoid sending any notes or emails in haste, as they will be unlikely to be properly interpreted. Be wary of making travel plans or large purchases for the next few weeks.

Venus in Gemini Square Saturn in Virgo 1:10 PM
There could come conflict for our sense of value as overly discriminating impulses bring even more uncertainty to what we want. Be careful not to be too picky about loved ones behaviors.

Moon in Aquarius Trine Mercury in Gemini 5:39 PM
This aspect could bring a breezy lightness to our emotional weather and a tendency to live in our heads. Look for outlets for intellectual energy, which should be pretty electric.

Moon Void of Course 10:49 PM

Tuesday, May 27

Moon Enters Pisces 9:38 AM
Look for a heightened sensitivity and possible mystical vision. Beware allowing yourself to sacrifice to martyrdom or suffer unduly.

Moon in Pisces Opposite Saturn in Virgo 1:46 PM
This Opposition begins a string of difficult aspects for Pisces Moon. While Oppositions are not definitively negative aspects, they do have the capability of going either way. With this one, it would probably be wise to keep an eye on pressures from outside influences. Use the self-determined energy of Virgo Saturn to stick to your guns in such situations.

Moon in Pisces Square Venus in Gemini 4:16 PM
Moon in Pisces Square Sun in Gemini 10:56 PM
With Venus, the Sun and Mercury all very close together in Gemini, that spells some heavy challenges for Pisces Moon. Be very wary of Pisces' difficulties such as a tendency to over interalize, feelings of instability or loss. These impulses could stand in conflict with our relations and ego.

Thursday, May 29

Moon in Pisces Square Mercury in Gemini 12:33 AM
Similar to above, an introvertive emotional instinct could cause or receive trouble regarding an overactive mind. Beware a tornado of non-linear mental activity. Be certain to let it out and not bottle it up within your own psyche.

Moon Void of Course 2:23 AM

Moon Enters Aries 3:52 PM
After the past couple of days of Pisces difficulty, the out-going enthusiasm of youthful Aries should come as a welcome relief. Be willing to run with the impulsiveness that could be burning in us all.

Thursday, May 15, 2008

5-16 thru 5-22

All times given are Eastern Standard Time; adjust accordingly for other time zones.

Friday, May 16

Moon in Libra Trine Mercury in Gemini 10:12 AM
Very strong support for expressing your feelings with this aspect. With emotional Moon and brainy Mercury both in airy, intellectual signs, it's possible to examine our emotions from a largely rational perspective.

Moon in Libra Square Jupiter in Capricorn 7:36 PM
There could be conflict between an instinct to make everything harmonious and pleasing to the eye and a practical wisdom that limits itself to practicalities. Try not to allow the need to make things pretty and balanced outweigh the realities of how best to gain satisfactory resolution.

Moon Void of Course 11:29 PM

Saturday, May 17

Moon Enters Scorpio 10:59 AM
Passion and desire rise quite high with intense Scorpio exerting influence over the Moon and our feelings. Expect personal offenses to be taken strongly and retribution to be dangerously biting.

Moon in Scorpio Square Mars in Leo 7:48 PM
Our inner world's are a whirl with intensity and energy that could cause difficulty with our current drives, particularly if pride is a big factor. Though it may be hard, avoid being stuck in your own perspective. Try and look from another's shoes.

Sunday, May 18

Venus in Taurus Trine Jupiter in Capricorn 11:17 AM
Traditional astrology suggests this aspect is a good time for financial success. I prefer to focus on more psychological approaches. So instead, I'll say, expect success with relationships and love. Apply some energy to furthering your efforts in these areas, particularly efforts of a physical, material nature.

Monday, May 19

Moon in Scorpio Opposite Venus in Taurus 9:59 AM
Emotions and affections may seem difficult to express. This is likely due to an emotional state this is more intense and animated than our current state of affection is comfortable with. Recognize that both the intensity and desire for comfort are worthy and real and try to reconcile the two.

Moon in Scorpio Opposite Sun in Taurus (Full Moon) 10:11 PM
Take a look at how your inner being expresses itself in the outside world. See if it is particularly fixed in its interaction with such, particularly at this moment in time.

Moon Void of Course 10:11 PM

Moon Enters Sagitarius 11:18 PM
Expect an urge for adventure and far-flung venues to crop up in your interests. You may feel more enthusiastic and self-expressive than usual. Take advantage of this and be sure to find space and freedom to run wild a little bit.

Tuesday, May 20

Moon in Sagitarius Square Saturn in Virgo 3:14 AM
Moon in Sagitarius Trine Mars in Leo 11:09 AM
While the Square may bring difficulty in working through an emotional block, the later Trine should provide the energy to break through. Look for creative insights, possibly arising from a proud ego.

Sun Enters Gemini 12:01 PM
Gemini emphasizes communication and versatility. Often chatty and witty, Geminis can also be highly inquisitive. Nervousness and inconsistency are more traits of Sun in Gemini.

Wednesday, May 21

Moon in Sagitarius Opposite Mercury in Gemini 5:01 PM
The emotional realm and the sphere of the mind sit in reflection of each other here. Expect some discrepancy between the two areas that could shine a light on an issue that is important to both.

Thursday, May 22

Moon Void of Course 12:19 AM

Moon Enters Capricorn 11:55 AM
Restrictive behaviors may be higher in this security conscious sign. Practicality may breed what seems to be callousness. Don't expect high energy during this period.

Sun in Gemini Square Saturn in Virgo 2:25 PM
One's ego and sense of self may experience a contraction as the planet of self-will is in difficult aspect to the planet of obstacles. One's self-discipline may be a bit lacking. Be careful in your relations with authority figures.

Moon in Capricorn Trine Saturn in Virgo 4 PM
A strong sense of discipline is supportive to our inner feelings with this aspect. Expect good emotional experiences if you focus on material concerns and physical work.

Wednesday, May 7, 2008

5-9 thru 5-15

All times given are Eastern Standard Time; adjust accordingly for other time zones.

Friday, May 9

Jupiter goes Retrograde 8:11 AM
While the planet of fortune and joy going into backward movement doesn't guarantee failure and grief, don't expect success to come immediately during the next many months. Particular aspects can bolster expansive Jupiter's influence, but largely, expect delays in regard to accumulating abundance. Of course, this period is also an excellent time to look back to find the joy you're looking for. Whether that means looking back to discarded ideas that may deserve a second chance or looking to the past for the answers one seeks.

Mars Enters Leo 4:20 PM
In regards to assertiveness and courage, people will likely be exceedingly determined and more than a little dramatic. While pride in self is high, there is the good chance that any aggressive moves can be channeled to generously assist others, particularly if those others are family or close friends. Aggressive sexual energy could be very much in the fore.

Moon in Cancer Opposite Jupiter in Capricorn 8:06 PM
A sensitive emotional side could stand to benefit from practical wisdom with this aspect. Don't let hurt feelings or a tendency toward internalizing hinder a higher sense of what's the proper course.

Moon Void of Course 8:06 PM

Saturday, May 10

Moon Enters Leo 9:10 AM
Watch for a rise in ambition and need for attention and affection while Luna moves through drama-loving Leo. Look for ways to share your generosity with others as it could be particularly rewarding, as well. Be careful to recognize limitations as there may be a tendency to ignore such.

Moon Conjunct Mars in Leo 9:50 AM
Take all this fiery Leo energy and grab some adventure if you can. Just be careful of letting prideful anger get the better of you. The flame and force of the Mars and Leo energy could overwhelm emotional Moon and leave you a moody burnt shell.

Sunday, May 11

Moon in Leo Square Venus in Taurus 8:51 AM
Assertive instincts could put one in conflict with the things one values with this aspect. Be sure that your emotions aren't taking over the whole show with their dramatic force. Take time to allow a more fixed perspective on what's in your heart work it out with adventuresome Leo Moon.

Moon in Leo Square Sun in Taurus 11:47 PM
Just as above, the enthusiastic expressiveness the Moon is bringing us could stand at odds with an ego or sense of self that is a bit more rooted in pattern and habit. Don't let stubbornness in either area get in the way of effective action.

Monday, May 12

Moon Void of Course 4:09 AM

Sun in Taurus Trine Jupiter in Capricorn 1:29 PM
Very beneficial time to examine and use the material tools at your disposal. Here the ego experiences a good relation with one's greater wisdom and connection to abundance. Self-expression and determination should find success in earthy areas.

Moon Enters Virgo 2:48 PM
Our powers of analysis and detail management could be well bolstered for the next couple days with the Moon in meticulous Virgo. Take some time to appreciate material things that come your way.

Moon Conjunct Saturn in Virgo 6:04 PM
Very supportive time for some introspection regarding an emotional challenge you may currently be facing. All the discriminating Virgo energy should assist a great deal in working out the specifics of how to handle what's bothering you.

Tuesday, May 13

Moon in Virgo Square Mercury in Gemini 7:20 PM
A practicality based instinct may not work well with an overly active mind in this aspect. Finicky and critical Virgo Moon does not line up easily with flighty and indecisive Gemini Mercury. Try to avoid going over and over the details of situations to such an extent that you never make up your mind.

Moon in Virgo Trine Venus in Taurus 10:03 PM
Lots of good energetic relationships with orderly Virgo Moon. It all starts here with a solid support for one's practical emotional state from an equally earthy heart. Our sense of what has worth is right in line with our current inner weather. Look for opportunities to socialize which allow you to enjoy things on a material, real-world level.

Wednesday, May 14

Moon in Virgo Trine Jupiter in Capricorn 8:56 AM
Expect little but joy and abundance in practical, material things with this aspect. Our subconscious habits are supported by a pragmatic, earthy expansiveness. You're unlikely to go wrong with material joys here.

Moon in Virgo Trine Sun in Taurus 12:38 PM
Our outer and inner worlds are experiencing a moment of high harmony in this aspect. As in the two prior aspects, material concerns are paramount. Let things move at their own pace, but all in all, today seems to be well tuned toward the fulfillment one can garner from 'stuff and things'.

Moon Void of Course 12:38 PM

Moon Enters Libra 11:46 PM
As always, Libra Moon is a good time to focus on or start relationships. Libra's beauty-minded focus helps harmonize and brighten our demeanors and perceptions. Perfect time for artistic work or social gathering.
