Astro Week Ahead: May 15 -21:
The cosmos serves up a solar eclipse and Venus retrograde, so there’s plenty of energy shifting now. But first, let’s review the underlying vibe.
Waning Moon
The Moon moves through the third quarter (reorientation) and balsamic (release) phases this week, indicating it’s a time of completion. Questions may arise about authenticity, so listen to that niggle in your soul about whether you’re really doing what you love, or just going through the motions.
The Moon moves through the signs of Aries and Taurus, before entering Gemini for the eclipse next Monday (Sunday night in North America). For the most part, the Aries Moon encourages action and the Taurus Moon helps you create stability.
As these signs are emphasised by a waning Moon, your actions are best directed towards finishing things. Any focus on stability and connections to the physical world (money and stuff) are best directed towards consolidation and then release. Organise your finances, file paperwork and de-clutter your stuff.
Signs most influenced: Aries, Taurus, Cancer
Mars/Pluto
Action planet Mars is slowly picking up pace, post retrograde. Mars’ ‘getting back on track’ theme makes second chances, and progress on delayed desires possible in May and June. This week, Mars trines Pluto, showing a big effort can make a huge difference. Pluto and Mars represent will and determination. This week’s trine connects to grounded earth signs (Virgo and Capricorn).
Focussing on practical goals and applying yourself steadily is key to success. Pluto intensifies desire so that what you really want can now be made manifest through your actions.
Signs most influenced: Aries, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn
Venus
With Venus such a big part of the week ahead – she begins to retrograde on May 14 – I’ve dedicated a whole post to her here. Plus, I recently blogged about Venus, Her Five Pointed Star and Going Retrograde here
Solar Eclipse
And I’ve created a special post to preview some of exciting energy on offer under this week’s eclipse. Pop over here to check it out
