Welcome to May 2021! This month is chock full of changes and plot twists. After weeks of a robust Taurus stellium gracing the sky, we begin to see some planets trade fixed earth for mutable air (Gemini). Mid-month, Jupiter will dip her toes into Pisces and further create tidal waves of change and dynamic tension needed to overcome obstacles, particularly for those with Pisces, Virgo, Gemini and/or Sagittarius placements. Additionally, those with Scorpio and Cancer placements may find Jupiter’s time in Pisces to be especially helpful in achieving goals. As if all of these planetary alignments weren’t enough, this month *also* begins Eclipse Season with a Sagittarius Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on May 26 followed by Mercury retrograde beginning on the 29th! Flexibility is truly the name of the game this month.
Energetic tides begin to shift this first week of May as both Mercury and Venus enter Gemini. In Gemini, these planets desire spontaneity, curiosity, experimentation and multitasking. Our mind and our heart may begin to feel lighter and free to explore and connect with our environment.
Mercury squares Jupiter before entering Gemini on Monday, suggesting mental expansion. We could learn new information that helps us decide which choice to make if we’ve felt stuck. On the other hand, we would be wise to watch for impulsive actions stemming from over-the-top thinking that may not be fully rooted in reality. Be sure to take your time when making decisions or signing any contracts under this aspect. On the same day, the Sun and Saturn meet in a square which can manifest as tension with authorities, societal groups, government or institutions. We may find ourselves seemingly blocked by some structure outside of us, which is ultimately testing how much we want the thing we think we want.
On Thursday Venus and Pluto meet harmoniously to exchange love notes. These two planets combined produce a powerful metamorphosis in the area of what we love and value, and how we use (or abuse) our power. These themes are easier to perceive under an aspect like this, so be sure to keep your mind’s eye open to new information about yourself and your patterns.
The weekend brings a Venus-Jupiter square prior to Venus’s ingress into Gemini. At the last degrees of Taurus, Venus’s meeting with Jupiter may inspire us to indulge, relax, veg out, buy ourselves gifts and otherwise seek out sensual experiences. Being mindful of balance is key here, but it’s generally a great time to take care of our own deepest needs and fill up our cup (or maybe let it overflow it just a little).
