Astrology Forecast for All: May 2023, Week 4
Week ahead - Sunday May 21 - Saturday May 27, 2023 Happy Birthday, Gemini!
Week of Sunday May 21 - Saturday May 27, 2023
Transits:
May 21 3:09 AM Sun enters Gemini Sun 00 Gemini 00'
May 27 11:22 AM First Quarter Moon 6 Virgo 06'
This week almost feels like a long day off after all the transits, ingresses Taurus new Moon last week.
A lot of that energy lingers, though, as we continue to feel the intensity of a tight T-square between Jupiter in Taurus, Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, and Mars in Leo.
The good news is this week is full of opportunity: helpful sextiles and trines. They support positive action in relationships and work.
Sun and Moon in Gemini - Fresh Air
Happy Birthday, Gemini!
The week starts off with the Sun entering Gemini, bringing some much needed air energy. The moon is also in Gemini when the week begins on Sunday.
Sunday is a great day to get your thought processes in order, be more playful, and catch up on the phone with friends and family.
Cancer energy - Cuddle Up
On Monday, the moon moves into Cancer. It begins its sextile to Mercury in Taurus. This could spell romance. Mercury is communication—strike up a conversation! Ask out that attractive male or female you have been patiently keeping your eye on.
You can also use this energy to send and receive loving messages to your family. Call your mom; remind your kids they are loved forever and always.
As Monday moves into Tuesday, the moon makes a closer conjunction with Venus in Cancer. This ups the romance factor! Mercury in Taurus makes a nice sextile to this Cancer conjunction. Find a cozy corner to talk sweet words to your loved ones. Lean into this loving, nurturing energy. It is supported by stable, committed Taurus.
Remember, with Taurus ruled by Venus, the Goddess of Love, and the Moon and Venus both in the sensitive water sign of Cancer, we are given some sweet moments to temper the tensions going on around us.
Mars in Leo Square Jupiter in Taurus - Restraint
If you follow me on Twitter, I sent a reminder on Monday to remember restraint. Cancer energy can be sweet and sentimental. It can also drive you mental with crabby, hurt feelings.
If you are insensitive, cocky, stubborn, or overly-drive by the Leo Mars squaring Jupiter energy, arguments could ensue with those sensitive water signs in your life.
Confidence and drive are good, but **too much of a good thing** is always the caution to remember when big, expansive Jupiter is making a strong aspect.
Saturn begins a Square to the Sun - Keep Working!
While the malefic energy of Saturn can sometimes feel like a wet blanket on your actions, imagine it, instead, like a cool cloth on your forehead when temperatures are rising.
You can persist through rookie mistakes and struggles that your new projects and relationships are bringing now.
These past few weeks have shown us two eclipses, a new Moon in Taurus, a Jupiter ingress into Taurus and Mars move into Leo. That is a lot of changing story lines and shifting timelines. Fresh starts are happening everywhere you look.
Saturn squaring the sun can be helpful. Work with this energy - work hard. The Taurus Stellium and Saturn squaring the Sun are blessing you fertile ground and longevity.
No lazy bones here. If you want success, God is giving you the foundation to make it happen. The rest is up to you.
Saturn and Neptune in Pisces - Daydreaming, or Day Drinking?
With Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, are you daydreaming on the job? Or day drinking?
I shared an example on Twitter of a Texas legislative member drunk or possibly under some sort of medicated influence. I’m not sure what was going on with this gentleman, but it was a reminder that we all need to keep our heads in the game.
If you are struggling with subconscious issues, depression, or addiction, the Sun in Gemini might help you talk about your issues.
The Moon/Venus conjunction in Cancer on Tuesday and Wednesday will support you in finding help at home from family and loved ones.
Address your issues now, in a safe environment, before the Cancer conjunction passes, leaving you in a more vulnerable or precarious position at work.
Moon Conjunct Mars in Leo - Prepare Accordingly
On Wednesday morning, the Moon moves into Leo. At 3:21 pm on Wednesday, the moon makes an exact conjunction with Mars in Leo.
This adds an emotional and territorial intensity to the Pluto/Jupiter/Mars t-square. Could there be irrational behavior exhibited here? Accidents? With Jupiter a part of this square, whatever transpires will be exaggerated in size and scope.
Saturn in Pisces is support here—it reminds us to continue our spiritual practices. Don’t skip your meditation time this week. I would head into Wednesday knowing it can be a hard day, and tap into spiritual protection. Pray up with the Armour of God. Ask for patience and peace.
The sun in Gemini will also provide us with assistance on Wednesday with a sextile to the Leo Moon/Mars. Communicate! The right words can ease tensions. Make sure there are no misunderstandings. Ask God to provide you with the proper words and correct mindset.
Venus Sextile Uranus - Unusual Respite from the Usual
This is a very positive influence as the week concludes. You might begin to feel it as early as Monday, but the exact conjunction occurs around 3am on Friday, May 26th.
Uranus is the planet of the unique and unexpected. It carries genius energy! Think: Aquarius. When it makes a positive aspect to Venus, you can expect the unexpected! New loves could enter your life—be it people or artistic endeavors.
If you are tired of your “usual type” or “usual breakfast” or “usual routine,” this glowing energy can help you change things up.
If you’ve been suffering from loneliness, make plans to try something new on Friday. Or, say YES to any plans that come your way. This is a blessed influence to help fuel your inspiration, creativity and zest for life. Don’t sit back on this one. Receive all of God’s help to spark some love in your life. You have been through a lot.
First Quarter Moon in Virgo -Help with Details
Saturday we are gifted with a first quarter Moon in Virgo. With the Sun in Gemini and Moon in Virgo, that gives us the 2 main luminaries in Mercury ruled signs.
Communications will focus. Sharpen what you say and how you say it. Write in your journal. Create content for your blog. Audit your bank statements. Make plans for the coming weeks.
If you set any goals in action during the New Moon in Taurus last week, this is the testing phase. What can be done here to push those goals forward in regards to communication? Get the details right.
There could be some nervous tension here with Gemini Sun squaring the Virgo moon. Find a way to expel the nervous energy.
Should you sign up for a foreign language class? While Taurus rules the voice, and Gemini and Virgo rule communication, this could be a good time to set those plans in motion. Finding a mind-stimulating hobby can help expel an over-abundance of electric energy.
Sign language could help work out tension in the hands, which Gemini rules.
Time to Prepare!
Next week, we get a New Moon in Sagittarius. Get organized on Saturday with the Virgo moon. Prepare for what’s to come.
