Weekly Astro Forecast for May 22 – May 28, 2016:
The Full Moon occurred on May 21 and this energy sets the stage through May 28. Since the energies of the Moon will only decrease, weaken, and wane after this point, the Full Moon is the time to either celebrate or to abandon the path that has failed to serve you. The seed you planted during the New Moon phase has grown and blossomed or remained stunted and miserly.
Sunday, May 22. The Sun (what you want) Sesquisquare Pluto Rx (transformation). This is a day when your power will feel strong and you might feel pushed to take control of a situation, or have this urge to fight for something to release the energy you’ve been holding onto.
The planets don’t understand each other, but you’ll probably feel determined to move forwards without a clear understanding of what you are getting yourself into.
Mercury (how the mind works) turns direct. Mercury is still in its shadow period until June 7, 2016, and we are not out of the woods yet. The third phase of retrograde motion represents the last shadow period which lasts until the planet returns to the original degree it was at when Mercury started retrograde motion. The last shadow period is a time when the energies are still mixed up, but once the planet passes the last shadow period, you will be able to move forward again, without redoing things and experiencing delays! The last shadow period ends when the planet passes the degree where it started retrograde motion.
The shadow period will still bring out unexpected snafus with communication and travel. During this period there is much gossip, unexpected messages, many glitches related to the radio, phone, computer and internet, as well as local transportation glitches with cars, buses, planes and trains. Writer’s block occurs, with your mind feeling clouded and stuck, and unusual weather patterns and floods might cause delays with communication and transportation.
The Sun (what you want) is in Opposition to Mars Rx (the troublemaker). This is not a good day to create a problem. It’s the right day to resolve a problem, but you might sit on the fence about something and dig in your heels and create a new problem because it’s got to be your way or the highway!
The planets don’t like each other and you’ll feel torn or divided by circumstances and experience an inner struggle that needs to be resolved in order to move forwards.
Monday, May 23. The Full Moon begins void-of-course at 3:37PM UTC Time (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Sagittarius. This energy might bring something to a standstill until the Moon finds a new home in the zodiac sign of Capricorn. This is not the time to take risks because the void-of-course phase is the time when Pandora’s Box might open and the unthinkable happens.
Sometimes the void-of-course phase makes you feel like you got out on the wrong side of your bed — you feel irritable or in a bad mood because you stepped into a crisis-in-action before you’ve had your first cup of coffee or you just start off with the wrong foot forward!
Tuesday, May 24. The Full Moon makes an ingress and finds its new home in the zodiac sign of Capricorn at 5:33AM UTC Time.
With the Full Moon in the zodiac sign of Capricorn something might come to a head, or you might find something out about something or someone, or you might shine a light on the things you’ve been working on during the last two weeks and what you have accomplished.
Venus (wants, needs and desires) enters the zodiac sign of Gemini. You might feel more curious, social or talkative, and ready to break out of your mundane routines, or escape some heavy emotional situation, or you might decide to play the field and head out on a romantic journey because you’re ready to put down some strong roots.
Wednesday, May 25. Venus (wants, needs and desires) is in Opposition to Mars Rx (the troublemaker). You might stir something up with your relationships to get what you want and create a problem, or make an impulsive decision with spending, or have jealous feelings and create a problem.
The planets don’t like each other and you’ll feel torn or divided by circumstances and experience an inner struggle that needs to be resolved to move forwards.
Thursday, May 26. The Full Moon begins void-of-course at 1:11AM UTC Time (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Capricorn. This energy might bring something to a standstill until the Moon finds a new home in the zodiac sign of Aquarius. This is not the time to take risks because the void-of-course phase is the time when Pandora’s Box might open and the unthinkable happens.
The Full Moon makes an ingress and finds its new home in the zodiac sign of Aquarius at 2:26PM UTC Time.
With the Full Moon in the zodiac sign of Aquarius, you may see the truth in a situation because you’re standing on a high mountain peak in your mind’s eye and thinking about what needs to be changed. Lots of insight today.
Jupiter Rx (expansion and luck) Squares Saturn Rx (restrictions). Jupiter makes you think big and you’ll probably be on a mission to get something done, but Saturn wants you to use the book of rules and not take shortcuts. This is not a day to take a shortcuts because you might run into a restriction that you are not going to like, or walk into another challenge to overcome.
Do you remember “The Wizard of Oz” movie? Dorothy thought it was safe to take a shortcut through the poppy fields and not stay on the yellow brick road. Taking the shortcut brought troubled times because Dorothy met The Wicked Witch of the West who caused problems for Dorothy and her companions.
The planets are experiencing tension and you’ll feel challenged to release what you’ve been holding on to so you’re not restricted, but you might walk into a nasty storm if you’re not careful!
Venus (wants, needs and desires) Sesquisquare Pluto Rx (transformation). This is a good day to lay low and avoid relationship squabbles. You might have something brewing beneath the surface and want to release it! If you start throwing stones at someone, be prepared to end up in a relationship misunderstanding, breakup, or another disappointment.
The planets don’t understand each other, but you’ll probably feel determined to move forwards without a clear understanding of what you are getting yourself into.
Friday, May 27. Mars Rx (the troublemaker) enters the zodiac sign of Scorpio. This is power time and you’re going to feel the power and might decide to pluck out the weeds (the old goals) and plant new beginnings (the new goals).
Saturday, May 28. The Full Moon begins void-of-course at 8:18AM UTC Time (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Aquarius. This energy might bring something to a standstill until the Moon finds a new home in the zodiac sign of Pisces. This is not the time to take risks because the void-of-course phase is the time when Pandora’s Box might open and the unthinkable happens.
The Full Moon makes an ingress and finds its new home in the zodiac sign of Pisces at 9:05PM UTC Time.
With the Full Moon in the zodiac sign of Pisces, you may absorb your feelings and become overwhelmed until you find a way to release these emotions.
Sun (what you want) Semisquares Uranus (unexpected changes). You’ll probably feel restless and want to take action on something and you might get yourself into something that you didn’t see coming because you might not have the patience to let things unfold naturally. Today is not a day to make big decision or walk in uncharted areas.
The planets don’t understand each other, but you’ll probably feel determined to move forwards without a clear understanding of what you are getting yourself into.
See you next week!
