Sunday, May 28th ~ Virgo Moon aligns with both Venus and Uranus. The Sun is square to Saturn. Emotional overtones drive our commitments and decisions. Relationships and partnerships receive harmonious yet unpredictable aspects from Uranus and the Moon. Be open to welcome surprises. Things may take some time to adjust. Take commitments seriously and try not to evade a promise or plan. Today's color is Pink.

Monday ~Virgo Moon opposes Neptune in Pisces in the 5 am hour, ET zone. The Moon then moves void until 10:51 am ET. This morning is best left lightly scheduled and free of expecations. Flexibility is called for. Disappointments result from some not following through or being present. Libra Moon in harmony with both Pluto retrograde and with Mars. Partnerships and love, as well as good physical chemistry, are in the spotlight. Attractions are strong and may be ready to act on. Be aware of the shadow side of relationships and sex as well. Today's color is Lavender.

Tuesday ~ Libra Moon in harmony with Gemini Sun encourages friendships, colleagial relationships, sharing of ideas and plans with those who can support you, and other social interactions. Wear Blue.

Wednesday ~ Family or romantic relationships may experience tension as the Moon squares Venus in Cancer. Work through something together and practice impartiality or patience. Libra to Scorpio Moon 7:45 pm ET.  The Moon squares Pluto in Aquarius which could create urgency, overthinking or simply offer time to reflect. Today's color is Black.

Thursday ~ Full Moon approaches, and it'll be in Sagittarius. Today the Moon is in Scorpio with aspects to Jupiter, Mars and Saturn. It's a mix of influences and may feel like push/pull or could trigger anger or another strong feeling. Breathe deep either to pause before action or to prevent overreaction. Indigo Blue is our color.

Friday ~ Scorpio Moon with two strong oppositions, and that may describe a tendency. Stuck points may be difficult to break through. Mercury opposite the Moon indicates the power of words to harm or heal. Uranus opposes the Moon and the phrase "I didn't see that coming" comes to mind. Your own feelings may surprise you. The Moon is just about Full. Today's color is Black. (yes, again)

Saturday ~ Scorpio to Sagittarius Moon at 1:03 am ET, and a Full Moon exact at 11:40 pm ET. Today appears active, adventurous and may have elements of quickness and acceleration. Energy is at a peak as Mars in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius fuel the Sagittarius Moon in the element of fire. Amplifying, uprising, and excitement characterize today's aspects. Wear White.

Sunday, May 14th ~ Mother's Day can come with gladness or with baggage of all kinds. Either way, the Pisces Moon raises emotional tone. Most of today's aspects are harmonious, creative, and related to earth and water elements. Feel your feelings, and allow others to have their own. Keep healthy boundaries. Surprise changes of course are likely now and for the past month. This continues today. Mercury stations direct in taurus at 11:17 pm ET, and is hanging out there for a while, indicating a dramatic pause. Wear Blue.

Monday ~ Aries Moon time stats at 3:56 am ET, with a change of 'the guard' and the vibe for sure. The Moon aligns with Pluto retrograde on this first day of Mercury direct. Mars and Neptune combine energies in the water signs. I think creatively, this is a dynamic day. Channel emotion into art or other forms of self expression. The Moon and Venus form a square tonight and differences will be brought into the spotlight. Notice relationship shifts and patterns and stay with the process (hopefully calmly). Wear Red.

Tuesday ~Aries Moon, and Jupiter leaves for Taurus at 1:20 pm and will be in Taurus for an entire year. Build and expand on the foundations you've created. If foundations or security seem unstable or questionable, lay some new groundwork. Contemplate or act on ways to increase abundance, personal power, stability, and knowledge. Growth is favored, and it's also possible to go too far with this Jupiter cycle. Look for moderation and balance. Today's color is Yellow.

Wednesday ~ The Moon and Mars form an edgy square, implying family and home related matters that need to be sorted or agreed upon. There also might be conflict or tension regarding one's plans vs another's ideal. Void Moon 5:10 am to 8:28 am ET. Then we move to traditional Taurus Moon time, and almost immediately, the Moon and Jupiter meet. Mercury also meets the Moon, and today feels like a day where answers and commitments will be asked for or made. Some Mercury retrograde matter might come up for the final answer, though it's still a bit early. What you commit to now, plan to follow through on. There are other Taurus Moon aspects, yet these are the ones most important to know. Today's color is Green.

Thursday ~ Yesterday, Jupiter and the Moon both squared Pluto, and though Pluto can be subtle, the energy of this may be present today. If you're feeling very reflective and perhaps seeing secrets or the truth come to light, you may be in this process. The Sun, Moon and Mercury all contribute to today's action and tendencies, all in Taurus. Uranus says just when you think you know all the information or the situation, there's something else coming up and one possiblity is yet another surprise or an acceleration of events. This is the day and night before New Moon. Set your intentions and clarify your goals. Today's color is Pink.

Friday ~ New Moon at 28 degrees of Taurus, at 11:53 am ET. Mercury's direct and this may feel like the right or the necessary timing for something of importance. Mercury and Saurn align and contribute to that, particularly around land, buildings, foundations and agreements of long term nature. Void Moon 1:51 to 2:48 pm ET. Let that be a meditative or unavailable (to others!) hour. Gemini Moon aligns with Pluto and this may feel retrorgrade in terms of ways of thinking, communicating and being in touch with others. White is the color of the day.

Saturday ~ Tension is in the air with Saturn and the Moon squaring in two signs of duality, Gemini and Pisces. People may flip flop on what they agreed to or what you expected. Mars is opposite Pluto tonight, and though the effects could be many, I feel this will be uncomfortable, stubborn and higlight the stuck points, whether in one's self or between us. Mars moves to Leo, at 11:31 am ET (this happens hours before the opposition, yet the opposition affects all day and even the whole week). You might feel like a victim or experience someone else feeling that way. It could come across as fierce competition or mannipulation too. Meeting expectations may be difficult, impossible or just not what you really want after all. This is the final day of Taurus time. Plan some time to chill, do less, and reduce worry as much as this is possible. Wear Black.

Sunday, May 21st ~The Sun joins the Moon in Gemini, and aligns with Pluto retrograde continuing some themes of this week. Notice what you've learned, discovered or been made aware of. This may involve friendships or sibling relationships or perhaps relates to another group you are part of or do business with. Try not to jump to conclusions and let information become known and develop naturally. If you've been trying to find out a truth or an answer, it may come to light slowly without provoking. Void Moon 6:12 pm to 11:28 pm ET. Be safe and ground in your sanity this evening. I planned an event to help clear physical stagnation and emotional clutter. If you can attend, that'd be great! If not, find something like that on your own, where you live and maybe with other like minded people. Today's color is Light Blue. (see Leaping Waters schedule for the event)

Monday ~ Cancer Moon began 11:28 pm ET on Sunday. The Moon is in harmony with Jupiter and the Sun is in harmony with Mars. Both set up a positive day with perhaps some much needed ease or agreement. Mercury and Saturn are in harmony with the Moon for communication and commitments. We have the New Moon of last Friday to propel things forward. Stay true to yourself and those who are loyal to you and vice versa. Today's color is Light Green, for the heart.

Tuesday ~ Mars square Jupiter may be creating extra energy, enthusiasm, inspiration and fire this week. Go with it, if that's the case. It could also mean ego amps up or that we try to outdo or overachieve. Creative partners could be deep in the process with a mix of feelings including some competitiveness yet also magnificent results. Cancer Moon is sensitive and meets Venus, implying love, romance, and care for one another. Emotions of all kinds heighten. Wear (or otherwise incorporate) shades of Pink, Venus's color.

Wednesday ~ Cancer Moon aligns with Neptune and we move into about 5 hours of void Moon, from 5:12 am to 10:35 am ET. Leo Moon follows and opposes Pluto, squares Jupiter, and meets Mars. It seems like everything gets a follow up and more action and energy. Continuations and further developments are today's themes. Moon and Sun in harmony helps us with decisiveness and feeling our heart and mind together. Purple is today's color.

Sound Bath in aerial hammock or on the mat 7:00-8:15 pm in South Portland, with Rachel Rivera. Reserve here

Thursday ~Leo Moon squares Mercury. Things to work through include stuck points and differences in communication style and love language. Learning new material is favored, as is training, performing and rehearsing. Try not to give up too easily or lose confidence. Talk to kids on their level. Wear Yellow.

Friday ~ Leo Moon until 11:05 pm ET. Venus and Uranus combine forces for change, authenticity and relationship related events that also could have affected last night. The Moon is void of course from 2:38 am until 11:05 pm ET, and it's a good time for a break, a vacation, some downtime, and few if any important decisions. Avoid shopping for big items, though it may feel tempting. Today's color is Gold.

Saturday ~ Virgo Moon aligns with Jupiter and Mercury, squares the Sun, and opposes Saturn. Immerse in something you love, that feels productive or takes place outdoors. Avoid pressure from others or giving in too easily when that's not the answer. Have a good conversation, maybe with an old friend. Reconnect with the people who mean the most to you. Wear Indigo.

Sunday, May 7th ~ In the wake of two eclipses and during Mercury retrograde, things might not seem usual and you may be revisiting some past problems, themes or other recurrences. Venus changes signs and moves to emotional, sensitive Cancer at 10:25 am ET. In love and close relationships, be aware of things that could create defensive responses in you or someone else. Also, this can be a romantic, sweet time of bonding with lover, family or children and even pets. Notice what makes your heart feel awake and alive. 

Sagittarius Moon for freedom of movement and thinking. Do something out of the ordinary today. Wear Orange.

Monday ~Sagittarius Moon square to Neptune in Pisces & in harmony with Jupiter in Aries. This leans us into doing our own thing. Inspiration and motivation could increase with this fire sign emphasis. However, things are not in a reliable mode, so remain unpressured or indecisive and maybe just explore possibilities. Void Moon 4:28 pm to 7:33 pm ET. Capricorn Moon opposes Venus tonight. Relationship focus could be both practical and romantic. Wear Navy or Midnight Blue.

Tuesday ~ Capricorn Moon aligns with Saturn in Pisces & Mercury retrograde in Taurus. One thing about this retrograde, from my perspective, is it's physicality and emphasis on the body, injuries, and healing. Saturn is teeth and bones and in Pisces relates also to the feet. Take care of your physical well being in any way and avoid overlooking symptoms and issues. Mercury in Taurus relates to the neck and throat. Schedule some body work such as a massage or acupuncture, if that speaks to you. 

The Sun and Uranus meet, with wild and accelerated (or seemingly rapid) news of change, possibly enthusiasm, and instigating in general. This is also a call to authentic self, authentic ways of interacting and being. As we become more authentic, original and decline to conform, there are surprises and reactions from others. Today's color is Green.

Wednesday ~Capricorn Moon with several planetary aspects. One effect is to feel productive. Do a little something to move toward a goal or aspiration. Mercury is still retrograde until Sunday, so keep things adjustable and pencil things in. Mars in Cancer opposite the Moon might agitate family or home matters. Can we stay grounded and in the flow, more relaxed and trusting of outcomes? The Moon and Sun are aligned in earth signs, getting us more steady and focused, potentially. Feel what your body says and use physical, sensory intuition and information wisely. Void Moon 7:52 pm ET until 10:05 pm. Aquarius Moon moves in and meet retrograde Pluto. This could be uncomfortable, such as overly reflective or overthinking. Soften the rough edges. Let yourself dream and not dwell. Today's color is Black.

Thursday ~ Aquarius Moon square to Mercury retrograde. Stubborn and stuck places become obvious. Agreements aren't likely to come easily. Working in groups and collaborating, be aware that ideas may not initially be welcome or well received and that includes constructive criticism and reviews. The more easygoing the better, for now. Today's color is Turquoise.

Friday ~ Mercury retrograde is winding down. Can you wait it out before that major move or discussion? Today, mercury and saturn align and important contemplations come up and might be discussed. Save final commitments for later next week or at least until Monday, if you can. If not, leave room for flexibility to make changes. Aquarius Moon squares the Sun and Uranus for more energy around the Sun/Uranus conjunction. This has a huge impact on today. Breakthroughs are necessary and require effort and willingness to change and to be ourselves rather than compete and compare ourselves with other people. Themes like this dominate this part of the week. Void Moon 11:15 pm to 12:39 am ET (Saturday).

Mercury and Venus align for more compassion and understanding. Overtones of reminiscing, missing, and sentimentality fuel connections and conversations. Pink is today's color.

Saturday ~ Pisces Moon from 12:39 am on through the weekend. Mercury stations direct on Sunday at 11:17 pm ET. The end of the retrograde can emphasize all the qualities we associate with this cycle. Hold steady, take your time, revisit or review something worth your while and leave the rest for later this month. Venus aligns with Saturn and Saturn meets the Moon, so take relationship matters into strong consideration and avoid being neglectful or insensitive. Even if it can't be resolved or solved today, reassurance that you care goes a long way. Our emotions may feel intense, especially if they're on the moody or sad spectrum. I also see alot of caring and compassion rising to the surface today. Let someone help or reassure or care for you and notice if you resist any of that. Ask yourself why. Wear or meditate with Light Blue today.
