*Feeling Inspired*
Sunday ~ Taurus Moon meets cathartic and fast acting Uranus just hours after the solar eclipse/New Moon. This is wild, unbridled energy that could be incredibly inspiring and action oriented. Things that must be responded to, pretty much immediately or in a compelling way, rise up with this conjunction and the eclipse itself. Venus aligns with Pluto for inner sense and intuition regarding self and relationships and 'what to do' to align with Balance and Harmony. Listen to that inner wisdom and do not act against your better judgment. Taurus Moon has two other aspects to Saturn (challenging) and Neptune (easygoing), and this combination requires holding good boundaries and staying in your truth so that there's not a lapse in good judgment or faith or a lean into escapism. Ground in what's real. Mercury retrograde is getting close too, and that's yet another reason to practice patience, observe and stay in your truth when required and compelled to decide, act, announce or break new ground. Today's color is Yellow (for solar plexus chakra and centeredness).

Monday ~ Taurus Moon aligns with benevolent Jupiter, the planet of wisdom visiting loving Pisces. The Moon also connects with Pluto in Capricorn for inner knowing, and with Venus in Pisces for emotional relationships and finding harmony. It is a heart and third eye centered day and as you act or decide, tune into your heart and your intuition for best outcomes. New Moon and eclipse time continues to throw unexpected situations and opportunities our way and some will be very beneficial! Remember too that all change creates some stress for mind and body, and there is a line between healthy and unhealthy stress. Void Moon 6:13 am to 6:47 am ET and then a Gemini Moon sparks the words, the news and the official announcements related to eclipse happenings. This is particularly emphasized as the Moon and Mercury meet in Mercury's home sign. Anxieties may heighten or arise. Center in your breath and breath longer exhales in the midst of excitement or stress. Breath is the best indicator of a long healthy life. Venus moves to Aries, the impulsive and beginnings sign, at 12:10 pm. Venus is the planet of relationships and our personal appearance, the surface of things and also the heart. Today's color is Pink.
Tuesday ~ Gemini Moon squares Mars. Yikes, this feels tense and possibly argumentative or confrontational. In contrast, Jupiter aligns with Pluto and it's so much more about our chill, aware self that can tune out the noise and distractions. Favored activities: Meditation, Mindfulness, Quiet, Journaling and Writing (just not anything confrontational or disturbing), Self Awareness, Exercise, Nature walks, and getting out of your head and into your grounded self. This day has a spiritual soul centered aspect. Social Media could cause issues and texts may lead to misunderstandings of a strong nature. Lay low, be cool and patient. Today's color is Black.
Wednesday ~ Gemini Moon with two squares and a trine. We still need to try and not get caught up in disagreements or confrontations that will not be productive. Approach things sensitively and kindly or wait it out instead. Mars aligns with Uranus and that looks like upheaval, a need to tear things apart and break them down for recycling. And it's still the eclipse cycle and we are influenced by the solar eclipse for awhile month, especially this week, not far from last Saturday's New Moon. Things are developing and shifting in ways you had no idea of or didn't think were the most likely scenarios, and it's a LOT of adjustment for everyone. So whether the other person or party is on your side or not, they are going through this in their own way too. I don't expect things to just be smooth and easy right now. It's a transforming time and all of this takes it's own course. Just do the best you can. Cancer Moon time 7:05 pm after a relatively short void of course (starting at 4:37 pm ET). A better night for staying home or in the comfort zone. Wear White.
Thursday ~ Cancer Moon aspects are mixed today, with a square to Venus in Aries that triggers emotional and relationship 'stuff' that needs sorting. Some will want to make a break and/or come on strong while the others want the traditional and unchanging situation. This is not easy to reconcile and we'll be hearing about separations and break ups during this eclipse period. The Sun and Uranus burst forth in conjunction (and in harmony with the Cancer Moon) with surprising news that is likely to stick and persevere in spite of resistance or obstacles. This actually happens overnight tonight, and is full of forthcoming action, rebuilding and renewal, yet also sudden or shocking in its nature. Feelings and events create responses in the body. Listen and really feel so you don't bypass your gut, your heart, or what your body needs for movement and nutrition. We need all the right ingredients right now to feel at our best or at least competent and uncrushable. Wear Blue and some metallic silver, gold or copper for added energy.
Friday ~ Cancer Moon sextile to Uranus and the Sun, as described in Thursday's forecast. It's full of surprise and change that yields emotional and physical responses. Do something calming and neutralizing amidst all the external action and news. The Moon aligns with Mars, yet it may feel like too much emotion or lead to emotional reactions that are not intended. Can feelings be recognized yet kept in some sort of check? Mothers Day weekend brings up feelings too, about family and parenting and the Moon in Cancer is the sign of mother, so this may feel somehow intensified. In Gemini, Mercury syncs up with Venus in Aries for a favorable meeting or date and energy for new or renewal in relationships. Today's color is Orange.
Saturday ~ The Moon moves from Cancer to Leo at 7:50 am ET. This may feel like a welcome shift. Overnight, the Sun and Mars aligned for a feelings of needing to absolutely now 'do something' about what's been on your mind or pending. So we may wake up with that impulse. It's very close to Mercury retrograde in Gemini now, so think out your best options and make it flexible for the future. Try not to burn a bridge unless you are absolutely sure and have been knowing this for a while. Leo Moon lines up with Mercury in Gemini for expressiveness, acting and performing, enjoying being the audience, glamming things up, and positive news or conversations. It's a social vibe. It's also a date night with new romance or sparking long term love flames both favored as the Moon and Venus are in harmony in fire signs. Fire energy may be just what we need right now. Feel your passions, whether love or creativity and nurture them. Wear Gold.
