The main astro news this week is the Taurus solar eclipse, but elsewhere in the cosmos, you’ll also notice the following:
Wednesday: Mercury/Jupiter/Pluto
Mercury in Taurus trines Pluto in Capricorn and sextiles Jupiter in Cancer. This is known as an ‘easy opposition’ as Mercury acts to break the tension between the Jupiter/Pluto face off. Information truly has power – the power to break a stalemate or lead to profound change. Keeping the faith will help you focus on your goals. Find the data to support your big picture and you may be amazed by what you can create.
Tuesday – Thursday: Venus 27 Pisces (exalted degree)
Venus is quite happy in the whole sign of Pisces, but is considered especially elevated in the 27th degree (which runs from 26’00 = 26’59). This can be a sweet easy energy that may add a little support or flow into an otherwise intense situation. I wanted to mention it you you’d be on the lookout for the positives in your current situations. This might look like a little blessing, timely (even divine!) support or positivity.
Saturday: Venus into Aries
Love goddess Venus adopts her most brazen, independent guise as Venus marches into Aries for an almost 4 week visit. While Venus is said to be in detriment in Aries. This alludes to the misfit between Venus’ basic desire (to unite things) and the Aries way, which prefers to operate solo. This inherent contradiction may manifest in your life throughout May as you contemplate how to balance personal goals with the requirements of relationships.
Venus however is a sweetener, like cosmic honey, and whichever house holds the sign of Aries in your chart can be an area of your life where you experience a little ease, flow or a sense of satisfaction in the coming few weeks.
Sunday: Moon conjunct Jupiter in Cancer
The weekend ends with a delectable Moon/Jupiter conjunction. The Moon will be in her crescent phase, representing emergence. This is a time of growth, taking baby steps and seeing tiny shoots of possibility manifest. It should also provide brilliant sky viewing, if the night is clear in your neck of the woods. Look for the sparkly star near Jupiter on Saturday and Sunday evening.
Home, family and domestic themes are highlighted. Abundance, generosity or new possibilities are likely.
