This week’s astrology forecast:
May 25th – 31st
Message for the week:
The week starts off with a “heads up” with Mars, the God of war, in a conflicting square to Pluto, the lord of the underworld—one of the most turbulent, volatile, potentially explosive aspects of all. While at the same time, the Sun is in a flowing trine to Pluto, offering a mitigating outlet for the heated up angry energy. The key for aligning with this pent-up hot energy is to utilize it, so it doesn't use you! This would be a good time to attack the garage that has been frustrating you—attack, don’t sort, sift, and analyze…attack. This can also awaken strong libido and can be very passionate in a loving relationship as a way of releasing this hot energy.
So, there are two doors available to deal with this volcanic Pluto energy: the square to Mars, where a little bit of anger leads to a whole lot of rage, or the trine to the empowering Sun, where the passionate, compelling focus of Pluto is directed to life enhancing activities. Which will you choose?
It is like the story of the farmer who realized his barn had been broken into and several sacks of grain had been stolen. His son asked him what he was going to do. He said he wasn’t sure yet—it was like there were two dogs before him. One angry and wanting to tear the intruder apart, and the other one compassionate and accepting someone’s need for the grain. “Which one will win?” the child asked. The farmer replied, “it all depends on which dog I feed.”
There is a celebrative Full Moon in Sagittarius this weekend. Along with wanting to kick your heels up a bit, this is a good time to reflect on what gives you meaning in your life and to examine your beliefs. Do your beliefs support an open, expansive sense if possibilities? Or do your beliefs give you a restricted, fearful sense of potentialities? This is a good time to expand your beliefs to include your role in the larger scheme of things—why are you here?
Monday: Heads up today with Mars moving into a conflicting square to Pluto, heightening the risk of power conflicts and outbursts of anger—keep your cool and direct this intensity towards some arduous activity. Fortunately, the Moon enters diplomatic Libra this morning, which will help keep the peace, and a trine to Uranus provides innovative solutions to long standing problems. You may feel a bit foggy this afternoon, while the Moon is opposite spacey Neptune, yet, a smooth and pleasant evening is available with the Moon moving into enjoyable trines to the Sun and Pluto.
Tuesday: A slow starting day with the Moon in Libra opposite dampening Saturn in the early morning. Yet, another powerful and more positive day unfolds, with the Sun moving into a harmonious trine to regenerative Pluto. The Libra Moon favors all cooperative endeavors and moving into a trine to Mercury tonight, stimulates lively and meaningful conversations.
Wednesday: The Moon starts the day in Libra in a square to Jupiter, stimulating high expectations and a tendency to over plan. The Moon is opposite Chiron this afternoon, awakening compassion for the suffering of others. The Moon enters deep-seeking Scorpio this evening, favoring quality alone time, or intimate one-to-one interactions.
Thursday: A reality check day for finances and relationships, with Venus (love and money) square to Saturn, revealing hard truths that must be dealt with. It might be best to lay low and keep to yourself in the early morning, while the Moon is in privacy-seeking Scorpio square to Pluto and opposite Mars—people may seem downright bitchy. The day improves considerably with a lovely and even romantic evening available as the Moon moves into a flowing trine with sweet Venus.
Friday: A good day for business dealings and financial transactions with the Moon in financially shrewd Scorpio in a flowing trine to fortunate Jupiter as its only aspect. This day also favors intimate relationships.
Saturday: You may feel like doing something out of the box this morning as the Moon enters adventuristic Sagittarius and is opposite the wild card planet, Uranus. A good day for traveling or just getting out and exploring a bit, and with harmonious aspects to both Neptune and Pluto, things seem to click into place. Push your limits a bit today.
Sunday: The Full Moon in “truth seeker, truth speaker” Sagittarius occurs at 1:45 AM PDT—Sagittarius and Gemini (the Sun’s sign) are both in mutable, highly changeable signs—best not to plan too much, plans will likely change anyway. This is celebrative, with the cut-loose Full Moon being in jovial, exuberant Sagittarius, but being in trine to responsible Saturn, you will be able to keep things under control. Mercury is sextile to Chiron today—words can heal.
May the stars be with you!
