Authentic Embodiment with Full Moon in Scorpio: Weekly Astrology for May 12 - 18

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?


...


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

Healing Messages with Mercury-Chiron in Aries: Weekly Astrology Forecast for May 5 - 11

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?


...


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

Re-Enchantment of Your Heart with Venus-Neptune in Aries: Weekly Astrology Forecast for April 28 - May 4

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?

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

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.
