Robin's Zodiac Zone for May 10th to 16th, 2020: SO MUCH Retrograde

Sunday: Happy Mother's Day! The Moon moves to earth loving Capricorn at 5:39 am EDT. Mercury trine Jupiter in earth signs too, and the Sun in earth is in tune with Neptune in watery Pisces. All in all it's good vibes with a high likelihood of interesting developments as Uranus in Taurus aligns with the Moon. The heavens help us with creative ways to earn, learn, construct and in some cases destroy to later re-create. We're likely to back our actions with feeling and that's usually a good thing. Today's color is Blue.

Monday: Saturn now turns retrograde in Aquarius and will eventually back into Capricorn. This happens yearly, the retrograde part. It can delay things. Maybe this isn't such a bad time to move slowly. Saturn is like a time release teacher, and we take as much time as needed, sometimes over and over year after year until we get the lesson. In Aquarius, it is lessons for and of the collective, all of us. Regroup. Mercury moves to Gemini. When Mercury moves there can be confusion or quick changes of mind or plan. Mercury is also square to Mars, the agitator. If we are irritable or frustrated, there are astrology aspects that explain that. Take your time with anything needing to be decided or resolved. Avoid major purchases. Surround yourself with optimism wherever it may come. The Moon is in industrious Capricorn. Use that energy for home projects and yard cleanup versus business transactions. Today's color is Black.

Tuesday: Void Moon in Capricorn 6:30 to 11:39 am EDT. These hours are best for simplicity and routine. Sleep a little longer or immerse in a project that makes you feel good. Aquarius Moon follows and Mercury aligns with Saturn. You may find a retroactive piece of information or form an action or solution to go with that! Today appears to be social and better for decisions or agreements. There's a hint of the past and future mixed with the present moment. Take it all in. Today's color is Turquoise.

Wednesday: Mars moves to Pisces, Venus shifts retrograde in Gemini, and the Moon is in revolutionary, forward thinking Aquarius. Variety. Many influences. Lots of change this week. Planets in 'new' signs mean we experience or feel differently, shift after shift. It's time to look at the whole picture. Mercury in Gemini (mutable, air), Venus retro in Gemini (mutable, air)-these two relate to our minds, communication, relationships and hearts. Hearts and minds may do flip flops.
Mars in Pisces is fire in water, not very effective unless you're creating music or art and those may feel inspired. Saturn retro in Aquarius-mixing traditional and innovative energies (fixed, air). Jupiter and Pluto continue the journey in Capricorn (earth, cardinal). Pluto is retrograde and Jupiter is about to be. (I know!)  Neptune is in Pisces (water, mutable). Air sign energy dominates in terms of changes, and that means intellectual and favors writing and inventing. It's an interesting mix to say the least. Today's color is Yellow.

Thursday: Jupiter retrograde in Capricorn begins. So we have Saturn, Jupiter and Pluto retrograde through the summer. Venus is retrograde for few weeks too. What this means includes backtracking, reviewing and revising what was previously planned or decided, slowing down down down if you hope for the best long term results, and learning through reflection. This slew of retrogrades during COVID19 looks like no coincidence and also, even if you consider it coincidental, influences and impacts our actions and the results of them. Now let's take another example instead. It's not prime time to sell a house and get your best price nor to buy one you plan to stay in long term. It's probably not the best time to make a decision about a relationship unless it's clearly harmful for you in which case, always decide and get out. Venus may lead some in the direction of flirtation with infidelity or back into communication with someone (for better or is it for worse?). Void Moon in Aquarius 10:03 am to 9:24 pm EDT. Moon then shifts to Pisces. Hang on and sit with decisions for now. This looks like Hanged Man in the tarot deck. When I see it I always say 'waiting is wise, wisdom comes through patience' at this time. Today's color is Pink.

Friday: Moon in Pisces. Taurus Sun trine to Pluto retro in Capricorn. Realizations come from within and may actually strengthen your resolve or confidence. Stand in your two feet and let the sun energy pour down over you. The Sun nourishes and contributes to growth. Pluto is darker and lives in the hidden places. This reminds me of a snake coming out to sun itself. I don't particularly like snakes, by the way, but this image is one of transformation, shedding of skin and having grown out of something. Come out of hiding and acknowledge the darker feelings in order to transmute them. Sense your grounding. Feel your emotions. Let them be and allow natural shifts to occur with no pressure. If you're in grief, acknowledge that. It's okay and valid to feel loss. Can you also feel the Sun and light? See what's always or still there to help you take care of yourself. I see some strength in validating emotions today. There's a LOT going on in the heavens, along with on earth. It's not your imagination and you don't have to feel bad about feeling what you're feeling. Leave some opening for light though. Create something magnificent today. Take a swim? Maybe a bath or foot soak will be more do-able. Wear Green.

Saturday: Pisces Moon meets Neptune monthly. Here we are again, being with emotion, maybe feeling longing or dreaming of romance, travel or someone we once loved. Love, Art, Spirituality are today's themes. Overindulgence could be a problem. Be careful and aware if you consume alcohol, drugs, or any hallucinogen. A little could go a long way. Sleep may be very appealing today. Balance it with walking or running, yoga or meditation. A walking meditation or stroll by water could be ideal as Pisces rules the feet. Moon also aligns with Pluto continuing the Sun's work yesterday. We are traveling inward today and tonight. Wear Blue.
